[Q] Turning off backlight - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Is there any way to completely turn off backlight. In settings I've only option to decrease it to 10% while I want completely turn it off.
I'm also using Lumos app which is great but unfortunately I can't set level to 0 for backlight.
If anyone know how to do this I would be very grateful.

No, this program doesn't do what I want.
I want to completely turn off backlight not to turn off a whole display.
I've finally found a PowerOptions but it still doesn't do what I want.
I just want no backlight. Even on the lowest level it's still bright. I just want to lcd work with no backlight. Is it even possible?

[Q] Screen Dim

I'm new to the TB but I've been on Android since the original droid release. On my moto devices all i had to do was set the screen to stay awake when charging. I have set that on my TB but after a few seconds the screen dramatically dims, technically it stays awake yes, but is there a way to prevent it from dimming when it's charging or docked? Thanks in advance for your help.
It would really depend on what Mod you are running. If you are running stock there should be a setting in display for screen dimming. If you are running a custom rom each has it's own settings for different things. Cyanogen has it turned off by default but you can turn it on via the settings to allow the screen to dim.

[Q] brightness is stuck

i tried the star hash 0 star hash on dial pad, to bring up the test centre. I clicked on every box including dimmer and sleepmode to test it.
Now since then, every time i lock and unlock my phone, the brightness reverts back to some minumum setting. I can still change brightness when i long press the notification bar but it will always change back to the low setting. And i also cannot get into settings/display/brightness...its greyed out.
I have tried turning my phone on and off again
Help what did i do wrong
If your battery level is below 15% i think, the phone will disable the brightness control in the settings, greyed out, and will run at lowest brightness, until you charge the phone.
You can use the power control widget to adjust the brightness, but as soon as the phone goes to standby and you wake it up it will be back to minimum brightness again.
ok thanks, coincidence in timing when doing the lcd test and low battery..got me in a panic because I didn't have power saving mode enabled.
Yeah, it got me worried when it happened to me, as i was not using power saving as well, it`s a bit of a cheek to force low brightness when the battery is below 15% , the camera also does not work as well, great.

[Q] Way to turn off backlight for night reading?

Hey,
I've searched around, haven't found a very good answer for this. I like to read ebooks at night, but the backlight on the screen remains on even if brightness is dimmed as low as possible, and it's way too much for me to be able to fall asleep. On my old phone (windows mobile), I could disable the backlight completely. I did find the setting where the backlight turns off after X seconds, but I can't find a way to manually tell the phone to always keep the backlight off.
Anyone know of an app or setting I can use to do this?
Thanks!

Use the "Screen Filter" app from the market or google play store whichever version you have. It is just what you are looking for I use it all the time.
Tried out the screen filter app last night - it's better than nothing, but it seems to work by adjusting the color temperature of the screen, so the backlight remains on. (I can tell because the 30 second backlight turn off with no activity still happens). Thanks for the suggestion. Any other ideas?
Since our screen is led there technically is no backlight I believe. So color tuning is the closest thing to dimming it. I like voodoo filter a bit more, doesn't distort colors as much to me.

Settings > Display > Sleep (Mine is set to 30 seconds). Before it goes to full-on sleep, you can clearly see that the backlight turns off for a few seconds, but the LEDs remain on.
Yea screen filter app is your best bet. Works well for reading/saving battery at night in emergency situation.

Screen filter app is going to be your best option. The samsung Vibrant has an OLED screen so it actually has no back light. The pixels display the color and produce the light.

Brightness Keeps Lowering on Screen Off

Hey Guys,
I'm having a weird issue where the screen brightness keeps changing itself every time I turn the screen off. I tried disabling Smart Actions & Automate It (tasker-like app), changing the brightness in the display setting, unchecking the display power saver option. In all cases if I set the brightness to 100% after turning the screen off and then on again the brightness will be down to like 10% or so, although the indicators I have will still tell me the screen is at 100%. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Me too, it only happens randomly though, i thought it had something to do with the"Lux" app i use to control brightness.
Do u use any screen protectors? It could b interfering with the light sensor

There is a screen protector but this is happening when brightness is not set to Auto. It's set to 80% and every time I hit the power button and then turn the screen back on it dims to like 0-10%. I've tried closing all running processes and it still happens. I also tried resetting the phone and it initially wasn't doing this but once I setup all the programs it does, so it must be somehow related to a non-running process program configuration. Any ideas?
Thanks
Edit: Found out it was the Lightflow app, uninstalled it and no more brightness dimming issue.

interesting. I had that app installed for a while, maybe it messed something up that uninstalling didn't fix. I guess a hard reset is in my future. sigh.

How can I Turn off Display lights

I am running cm7 atm.
Htc liberty/Intruder
lcd hvga 3.2"
I want to be able to turn off the display lights.
Suppose,
I set Display/Screen timeout to 10 sec just before locking and blackness, the screen seems to "dim", it looks as if the lights in the back of the screen is turned off, but the screen is on/visible and it is very comfortable especially at night.
screen filter & cf lumen CAN NOT & DOES NOT do this(atleast I couldn't do it).
Is there any way to achieve tjis?
similar to editing some system file to turn off softkey button backlight?
please answer.:sly:
