Hi Guys,
Just want to sort out one of the annoying things which keeps happening to my P1i. I leave it for about 5 seconds and the light just fades out.....anyway I can prolong this for like a minute or so.
Cheers in advance

goto control panel > device > backlight.
on the settings tab make sure "handheld" is set to ON, "power saving" enabled and "active after" set to how long you want the scfeen to remain bright.
then go to the brightness tab
here you first see "handheld (normal)". I have this at 80%.
click that drop down and choose "handheld (dimmed)". this is the level the backlight is dimmed to after 10 seconds or so of inactivity so I set this aslo at 80%.
this means that initially the backlight is 80%. after a short interval it is dimmed to the same level (so it remains bright).
after the "active after" period you specified in the setings tab thebacklight is turned off.

surely this therefore means when you charge the battery the backlight will stay at the 80% level you have set? Or have i got myself completely mixed up... |

Can the screen saver turn on at any screen? or just standby? |

Looks to me like the light stays on during charging. I guess the auto off is totally ignored when charging....
And it does seem to make a big difference to how long it takes for the phone to charge. Quite annoying.
I tried setting the brightness for car holder to 70% and 0%, but it doesn't seem to think the charger is the same as a car holder, so it uses the handheld settings and disables the auto off after 1 minute. |
