TP2 backlight setting is all screwed up & keeps changing

[NYC Guy]

I have no idea why my TP2 backlight settings keep on changing. I have the "On battery power" setting set to 1 minute and it keeps on changing to 10 seconds. I have tried soft resets and that has not corrected the issue.

Any suggestions?

New update, the battery was dying on me after 6 hours of moderate use so I went out and purchased a new one. The new battery is behaving the exact same way.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

to OP,
Your saying , after changing the backlight settings to dim display to one minute , it automatically gets changed back to 10 seconds ?

Try hard reset . Which ROM you using ? try stock shipped ROM . It sounds like a registry error or file placement error . not sure what else to tell you without more info .

I am running Sprint's ROM (nothing custom). Needless to say a hard reset is the last thing I wish to do.
I was hoping for an easier fix.

From a previous thread:

I've run into this before, and haven't figured out exactly what triggers this, but this is how to fix it.

First set the time to what you want (1 minute, or whatever). Then go into your Registry:

HKCU\Control Panel\Backlight\LockLevel\LockLevel - the dWord there should be 0. I've found it set to 1 or 2, for no apparent reason.

This still happens to me periodically, and I've had my TP2 for over a year. Very frustrating, but at least it's easily fixed.

See if this works for you.

This common issue has plagued every WinMo phone I've ever used. I've had luck with DLCPhoto's noted fix above...hard reset should not be necessary as it is probably just a corrupted registry setting.

It was set to 6 and I just reset it to 0 and did a soft reset. It seems to be ok now and I will keep an eye on it to see if it returns.

That's one out of two issues that are hopefully resolved. The other one is my battery life issue which coincided with this backlight problem.

Well my TP2 has a mind of it's own and has started doing the same thing again with the backlight. I checked and the backlight number was at 2.

I am beginning to think the TP2 is haunted.

possibly another bug in that stock 6.5 ROM try flashing to either stock 6.1 or lead rom.
