Screen Dim not functioning with 3.16
 

My screen has always been a little jacked up. After the initial 30 seconds or so, it would just turn off instead of dimming. After I loaded 3.16, the screen dim worked for a while. Now, my phone stays fully lit until it goes into standby. It doesn't dim at all. Is there a regedit I can do to fix this or possible something I have overlooked in the settings. I have not played with the settings at all when this started acting up, so I don't think I am responsible.

As always, thanks for the help.

seperate but nearly equal
 

My phone does not want to go into standby. It will dimm fine, and then just stay there for hours.

I will put it into standby with the button, only to find that it woke up and only went back to dim not standby.


hmmm.

rom 3.16

I'm having this problem as well. I'm running No2Chem's WM6.1 ROM. The additional software i've installed is listed below. The first thing that popped into my head was the fact that i'm using an older version of TCMP. Anybody heard of any problems with any of these? Trying to avoid a hard reset, but if I have to I have to.

Installed software
TCPMP 0.66 (w/aac decoder)
HTC Album
acbToggleBT
Adobe Flash Lite
HTC Audio Booster
HTC Audio Manager
Counter Timer
Google maps
HTC Home 2.0 (w/Customizer)
Live Search
PDASudoku
PocketXpdf
HTC Streaming Media
Total Commander

Here is what I have in common with you

HTC Streaming Media
Live Search
HTC Home 2.0 (w/Customizer)
HTC Audio Manager
HTC Album
TCPMP 0.71 RC1

I'm sure a ton of people are also using these programs, so I doubt it'll help us, but I wanted to list them anyway.

^^ of those, I have only HTC Album and TCPMP. I have the dimming issue as well on my DCD 2.1 ROM...

Mine works fine with DcDs wm6.1_2.2.0.

Havent noticed this issue on my device, dim works as usual.

bump? Its not really that big of a deal. I'll keep using it until an official one comes out. Just would be nice to fix it.

I have attempted to duplicate this, and installed a lot of the software identified by Elbimster, however I am unable to duplicate. I am now running on DCD6.1-2.2.0 and have a few problems of my own, but I am able to control the backlight. I'd suggest backing up data, remove programs one at a time until you regain control of the backlight, reinstall that program and confirm that it is the one causing the issue. If you get everything uninstalled and are still experiencing problems, try and reflash the same rom your using now and try the backlight then.

The setting it sounds like your looking for is Settings > System > Backlight > Battery Power
Ensure the checkbox is checked and a reasonable time has been entered. You may also want to verify the External Power tab just in case. Let us know what you find out.
