Hey, I am trying to find the reg key that controls the the external display timeout, I know you can set it in the settings to 5, 10, 15, 30 seconds, but I am trying to figure out which reg key controls it. thanks
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SecondaryDsp]
"DisplayTimeout"=dword

Is there any number (or other) to put there to have a display timeout longer than 30 sec?
...10 minutes for example...I know that involves battery consuming but I (and my friends) like startreck external clock when I put my phone on the table...moreover there my phone is usually charging...
Some weeks ago I tried with no success...
thanks
same boat here, I can't get it to stay on any longer than 30 sec.
timeouts
it seems that the reg values of 2=5 sec, 3=10 sec, 4=15 sec and 5=30 sec, however no other numbers have a timed value, it must be referencing a dll file, but I am not sure which one, I will res hack some and see if I can find it.
"DisplayTimeout"=dword:00000002 - 5 sec
"DisplayTimeout"=dword:00000003 - 10 sec
"DisplayTimeout"=dword:00000004 - 15 sec
"DisplayTimeout"=dword:00000005 - 30 sec
try to set dword:6

Unless we did something wrong, we tried it. It does not work
displaytimeout
Erofich,
it my be my device but the reg key for the display timeout only allows for a 0 through whatever number option, it does not show the 00000001 (etc.) values.
I tried to create a new dword key, but it does the same, only gives the option to enter the 0 through whatever number, is there a way to assign the 00000006 value to a dword 6?

I don't like having to wait for my keyboard backlight to power up whenever it's dark. And while it may not be 20 seconds, it's not what I would like it to be either. Is there any kind of registry tweak out there that'll either keep the light on all the time, or speed up it's activation? I've already got my screen's backlight turn down quite a bit, and a 15% stronger battery, so I'm not worried about battery life here. I just want a *very* quick phone.
Is this something I'd be better off waiting for the for new video CAB? I know it'll speed up the portrait-landscape switch, but would it in some way also help the keyboard backlights?
I'm not sure why it would be slow. My keypad lights up as soon as I tap a key even in hallways that are just dim.
turn backlight auto sensor off

have you ever used a kaiser? the backlight on the keyboard is on instantly when you slide it open. i know what youre talking about with the painful slow delay waiting for it to come on, but dont know any fix for it.
This worked for me
Reg key is \HKCU\COntrolPannel\Backlight
Set AutoSensor to 0
Set QKeyLedOnOff to 1
Set QKeyLedTimeout to 0

AutoSenor to 0 is the same as going into the System settings and unchecking the backlight option.
HKCU/ControlPanel/Backlight/QKeyLedTimeout
Is the amount of time (in seconds) the keep the light on... so someone could change it to 30 or 99 or whatever (I dont know if there is a "max value") and it would stay on for 30 or 99 seconds.
Not sure what LedOnOff does, thats probably the key to keep it on all the time (but does that mean it stays on even when the unit is closed?). Could potentially be very battery drainining.
Thanks for the info rajuabju BUT the end result is if you make the changes does it give you the results sovrce is after.
FYI with a lot of timeout values 0 means infinity
You're right... silly of me.
0 means there is no timeout value.

Strongly recommended update and read below
Maybe no body online on 12/25 so....release early.
Change:
1.add setup.dll to cab. it works after install without reboot.also uninstall it stop work without reboot.Delete all file and reg very clear.
But if you install any old one you'd better make a hard-rest .
2. separate lock trigger and stand-by. there are no relationship between them.
3.add delay time .it start from screen lock app run. but it work just you check lock and then stand-by
4.add energy optimization. Check it the stand-by means that suspend without call connecting and USER_IDLE with call connecting.
. But every app stop run.So be careful with checking it.e.g:if alarm ring ,it wake up device, but when it suspend ,alarm stop and silence.Uncheck it ,Stand-by means SYS_IDLE without call connecting, USER_IDLE with call connecting.
5.Separate ms sign 。So if it do not works please install cert.cab and reboot..
6. Fix all exist bugy.

upupup..
Hey, I might be a dummy but ... how do I access options?
HKLM Software\\Microsoft\\Shell\\LockScreen.
key dword value suspend =1 .lock when suspend
AutoRun =1 lock when startup
if you don't setup frequently you can
convert cab to oem
copy dll to windows
import the reg and reboot ..
it will work also.
Would be great if U could add into Your software ... to turn off screen after 5 sec when locked because now screen is on for too long. And battery is drain in this moment until it goes off. ... F.ex. to see the "time" for a sec and than screen goes off Then it would be the best apllication i`ve ever seen ! Simply and usefull !
The time you can set in setup- system-back light or setup-system-power
but there is no time to set up WHEN LOCKED ... I dont want to turn off screen after 10 sec (because it is minimal in there) because f,ex. when i`m using Opera and read any thread i don`t want to turn off screen in so short time. I just want to off it WHEN LOCKED
you means lock device but screen is on?
I mean ... step by step: Turn off device by POWER button. And when i want to check the TIME i turn device on and device goes lock (and that is great) but screen is ON for a long time ... i don`t want to use POWER button to turn it off again. I want to go back to off automaticyally in 5 sec WHEN LOCKED. We are talking all the time in situation WHEN LOCKED
The trouble is that as I exit from iGo app it always reset my backlight settings to default state. Whatever settings I set up (automatic backlight on/off), they will be inevitably set to default values by iGo (1 minute before dim). BTW, it does not update settngs if I minimize iGo instead of exit. There is no backlight settings in iGo app other than level of backlight. If anybody knows or guesses what the reason might be please advise
put thin in your sys file
[power]
backlight_sync_with_OS=0
backlight_slow_api=0
backlight_day=100
backlight_night=100
backlight_day_battery=100
backlight_night_battery=100

Thanks for this. It was a problem I also had, so I will give it a go.

I know this thread is repeated everywhere, but I thought I'd start it up for our GNote forums
What are your Tasker profiles? I just found out how to use Tasker yesterday and I find myself loving it.
Mine are as follows:
1) Incoming Calls - Decrease volume to second lowest setting (I have loud friends)
2) Turn wifi on at home automatically
3) Open PowerAmp when headphones are plugged in
4) Send a "Happy Birthday!" text to various people on their birthdays.
5) Alert me when battery is full to 100%. Really useful if you don't want to overcharge your battery.
What about you guys?
Mute at work locations
Pandora + Bluetooth in car
Wifi at home
100% Battery alert
Auto-off unpaired Bluetooth
Regulated auto-sync based on battery
Long-press search changed to notification drawer open
Screen timeout change for various apps
Data off and screen timeout change for ad-supported games
I posted a couple just recently in this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23151996&postcount=25
Here's a C&P for the lazy....
______________________________________________
Car Profile
Enter Task
1) Disable PIN Security so I don't need to unlock my phone while in the car (one less distraction)
2) Set Media Volume to 15
3) Turn Wifi off
4) Change Display timeout to 30 minutes (nice for google maps and viewing the album art of the streaming music)
5) Turn on GPS IF power is connected to phone
6) Start recording video with DailyRoads Voyager ( A car DVR program in case of an accident so you then have Objective evidence)
7) Play the THX sound after a couple seconds to make sure the Bluetooth audio streaming is working right
Car EXIT task
1) Stop Recording Video for DailyRoads Voyager (DRV)
2) Wait 5 seconds
3) Kill App - DRV
4) Perform Task - PIN ON
5) Secure Settings - Disable GPS
6) Display Timeout - 2 min
7) WiFi - Turn ON
8) Bluetooth - Off
9) Display Brightness - Set to 150 out of 255
Other fun stuff
Home VAR %STATUS_HOME
Set VAR for when I am near my home micro-cell as the signal radius is small and specific to my house. I use this since the phone part is always on and I don't need to use GPS to determine location which uses more juice. That VAR is then used to turn on wifi when I arrive at home, disable PIN again, Flash "Welcome home", set WiFi sleep to Never. The Exit task for when I leave home turns PIN ON and sets the WiFi sleep policy to Never While Plugged"
Power VAR %STATUS_POWER
I have 2 seperate profiles for when I am connected to AC or USB power. The AC one sets the power VAR to 2 while the USB one sets it to 1. Both are used for other tasks and profiles, like the car one above requires AC connection so my GPS doesn't drain my battery even while connected. I have it flash "AC connected" or "USB connected" to let me know if the phone is receiving the correct amount of juice. When both of them exit they set the Power VAR to 0 and flash "Power Disconnected"
Sleepy Time
Profile conditions
1) Time - From 00:01 to 06:30
2) State - Home VAR = 1 (so this doesn't happen when I am out and about somewhere at night)
Enter Task - In case I'm tinkering with the phone in bed and don't want to keep the wifey up with a blazing screen and vibrations when clicking buttons. Also prevents annoying sounds at night by disabling data sync and muting all but the Alarm audio.
1) AutoSync -OFF
2) Flash "Good night"
3) Display brightness at 0
4) Screen Filter set to 25%
5) Perform Task - Alarm Audio only
Alarm Audio only task above
1) Alarm Volume - 4
2) Flash "Alarm Audio Only"
3) Haptic Feedback - Off
4) Notification Volume - 0
5) Ringer volume - 0
6) System volume - 0
7) Media volume - 0
Exit Task
1) AutoSync - On
2) Display Brightness - 255
3) Screen Filter - 100%
Quick Stats - This has two parts. One is the Notification that tells me a bunch of info I like to know like Battery level, Screen timeout, screen brightness and CPU govenor. The second part is launching a menu whe nI click on the the notification that has the commonly used Screen brightness & timeouts I use. I need to add some audio options in there too. I re-discovered that menu was there the entire time and didn't see the + button add more items to the menu. Iwas over complicating it by trying to use Scenes as a pop-up menu. Still need to learn more about Scenes.
Part 1 - Quick Stats Notification
State - Orientation Face Up (I use this state so if I want to refresh the stats all I do put the phone face up. There is automatically a time stamp so I can know when the stats were last updated)
Task - Notify Quick Stats
1) Notify - with Battery level, Screen timeout, screen brightness and CPU govenor variables as the text.
Part 2 - Notification Bar Tool
Event - Notification Click
Task - Quick Stats Menu
1) Menu with options for display brightness at 0, 100 or 255. Display timeout options for 30 secs, 2 min, 10 min and 30 min
Remote PIN Disable - This is for in case I forget my pin this will disable the PIN likew used in the Car and Home profiles. It is triggered by receiving a text from certain people with a specific phrase.
Event - Text with specific phrase under Content
Task - PIN OFF
Where Are You - Here's a 3 part setup. If I can't find my phone I again send a text with a specific phrase that then cranks up all volume settings to MAX and repeat "The Most Annoying Sound in the world" by Jim Carrey from Dumb & Dumber. The text sets a VAR called %SHUTUP to 1. When %SHUTUP = 1 it triggers Part 2. Once I find the phone to set the VAR back to 0 I shake the phone.
Part 1 - Where Are You Status
Event - Received Text with specific phrase
Task - Variable Set - %SHUTUP = 1
Part 2 - Where Are You Status
State - Variable Value = 1
Task - Where Are You Audio
1) Perform Task - Crank It Up (sets all volumes to MAX)
2) Flash - "I'm over here!"
3) Music Play - Annoy.wav
4) Wait - 15 sec
5) Goto - Top of Loop IF %SHUTUP = 1
Part 3 -Shutup Shake
Event - Shake
Task
1) Variable Set - %SHUTUP = 0
2) Flash "SHUT UP!!!"
A couple more but they are straight from the Tasker Wiki
I'm definitely going to have to do those. Right now, all I understand is the basics of Tasker (no where near Variables) but I'll follow your instructions.
Thanks especially for "Where are you"
A few I use....
1). Pocket Lock - Detects when phone is upside down in my pocket and activates WidgetLocker.
2). Read Caller Aloud - Incoming caller name said aloud so I can decide whether I want to answer without looking at my phone.
3). Night Mode - From 00:00 to 06:00 Puts phone into silent mode, plus checks whether Wifi, Data, GPS, or Blutooth are on, and turns them off if they are.
4). Battery Low - When battery gets to 15%, and it's not connected to a charger, Says "Battery low, connect charger" and turns off Wifi, BT, Data, GPS.
5). Music Player - When headset is plugged in, loads music app.
6). Home - Gets general location from cell tower, activates Wifi, disables Data & GPS. Exit Task disables Wifi, and enables Data.
7). Work - Gets general location from cell tower, disables Wifi, Data, GPS, BT, and Auto Replies to sms that im working and will reply when i can.
I'm pretty new to tasker, but have been pretty bored lately and have been working on an addition to my Work profile.
This profile will, use variables to save up to 5 peoples numbers and how many times each has txted me, and txt each of them back, using their names from my contact list in the body of each txt.
So lets say BOB txts me once, his number will be added as a variable, and it will begin counting the txts from him. On the first txt he is send a txt saying, something like. "Sorry BOB, im at work, will reply when i can".
Then DAVE txts, he will be assigned to Sender2, and have a txt sent to him like above, with the second Counter and Number (%CNTR2 and %SNDR2).
BOB, realizing it's an auto-reply, decides to be funny and spam txt me, thinking he will get a reply every time. However, tasker counts his incoming txts, (%CNTR1) and when it reaches a value of 10, send just one more txt saying something like (Thats 10 txts you've sent, seems Im still unavailable).
Profile: Auto Reply
Variables:
%SNDR1 <---- BOBs cell number
%SNDR2 <---- DAVEs cell number
%SNDR3
%SNDR4
%SNDR5
%CNTR1 <---- BOBs txt counter
%CNTR2
%CNTR3
%CNTR4
%CNTR5
%TXTVAR <---- Counter determining whether a txt received is from someone new or a number already saved.
Enter Task:
Code:
1). GoTo label Sender1 if %SMSRF ~ %SNDR1
2). GoTo label Sender2 if %SMSRF ~ %SNDR2
3). " " etc.
4).......
5).....
6). If (%SNDR1 ~ 0) then SetVariable %SNDR1 to %SMSRF
7). If (%SNDR2 ~ 0) and (%TXTVAR = 1) then SetVariable %SNDR2 to %SMSRF
8). If (%SNDR3 ~ 0) and (%TXTVAR = 2) then SetVariable %SNDR3 to %SMSRF
9)........etc.
10).
11). If (%SMSRF ~ %SNDR1) <-------- Label Sender1
Variable Add (%CNTR1 + 1)
If (%CNTR1 = 1)
Send SMS (Tells this person eg. BOB I'm at work)
Variable Add (%TXTVAR + 1)
Else If (%CNTR1 = 10)
Send SMS to %SNDR1 (Thats 10 txts you've sent me)
Endif x2
12). If (%SMSRF ~ %SNDR2) <-------- Label Sender2
Variable Add (%CNTR2 + 1)
If (%CNTR2 = 1)
Send SMS (Tells this person eg. DAVE I'm at work)
Variable Add (%TXTVAR + 1)
Else If (%CNTR2 = 10)
Send SMS to %SNDR2 (Thats 10 txts you've sent me)
Endif x2
13). If (%SMSRF ~ %SNDR3) <-------- Label Sender3
Variable Add (%CNTR3 + 1)
If (%CNTR3 = 1)
Send SMS (Tells this person eg. EMILY I'm at work)
Variable Add (%TXTVAR + 1)
Else If (%CNTR3 = 10)
Send SMS to %SNDR3 (Thats 10 txts you've sent me)
Endif x2
14). ......Etc.
15). ......
I'm still working on it, deciding whether to have the variables reset as they are all filled, 1 at a time, or to make them reset every hour or so. Also whether to make another profile purely for resetting those variables, or add them to this task. Bearing in mind that on my phone it gets rather annoying to manage/edit the task since its currently at 78 lines long.
As I said I was bored.
If anyone is interested in this I can post a backup xml of this somewhere.

Bored indeed. Anywho, look into arrays in Tasker, that'll make this tracking stuff much easier. Track all of that stuff in one array vs a bunch of different ones. Might clean up the code a little, make it easier to erm.. relieve more boredom?

Hey there.
One thing I remember from Gingerbread is how, when on lockscreen, the screen would turn off after some 7 secs. So say I wanted to check the clock I could just turn on the screen and put the phone away again. On JB it seems like it uses the same timeout setting as the rest of the system, one I keep at 1 min..
Is there a way to make to make it seperate? I want the screen to turn off after 10 secs when Im on the lockscreen, so I dont have to press the, quite, inconviniently placed power button on my phone, each time (seeing as I got tap2wake on my phone)

You can try my app, KinScreen. It allows setting a different timeout for the lockscreen. However, the lockscreen timeout doesn't seem to have an effect in KitKat (where the default is 10s).

Have you found a way to do this? My new 4.3 JB smartphone used to have a lockscreen screen timeout of 5 seconds, which I liked, but somehow it is now something like 30 seconds... which is TOO long for my liking... I've tried any combination of settings to revert this but with no luck...
BTW, 30 seconds is not even my screen timeout ... I have it set to 1 minute. So... I have absolutely no clues...

Only way I could come up with was to use Tasker. Make a profile that does when on lockscreen timeout is 7 secs and when not its 1 minute.
Not very ideal.

Can you share how was your Tasker profile created? I remember trying to do a similar profile on my previous smartphone (actually it was running KitKat) and I couldn't figure a way for a profile to detect lockscreen for the timeout to be set differently.
Also you can't set it below 7 seconds....
Interestingly enough, I suspect Tasker was the reason why I lost my "short" lockscreen screen timeout in the first place on my new smartphone

That was indeed the trick. To detect the lockscreen. I came across this plugin:
https://bitbucket.org/laceous/android-atlockscreen/wiki/Home
AtLockScreenTaskerConditionPlugin.1.0.0.apk
AtLockScreenTaskerSettingPlugin.1.0.1.apk
Those you'll need. It runs a background service, without battery drain ofcourse, that uses something 4 mb ram.
Attached is the entire "project" you can import to get something that works.

Yes we want to know how! What Android version? I haven't been able to change the lockscreen timeout on KitKat from the default 10s (higher or lower) on stock Nexus 5 ROM.

So basically this is set by using two profiles:
. Event Screen on -» Display timeout 7 seconds
. Event Screen unlocked -» Display timeout 60 seconds
The only caveat I can think of is that instantly lock after sleep should be activated to prevent false positives.
Now if only I could set the timeout to a value lower than 7 seconds...

Cool.
However, the reason I didn't go with something like this is because there's times where I'll have the lockscreen disabled thru a widget OR if I wake up right after it had turned the screen off (and there's a time of 5-15 secs before actually locking the phone). That would result in having an extremely fast dispaly timeout at times where it's not actually wanted. The way I've gone about it ensures, for the most part, that it only applies when locked.
