Disable backlight activating with new sms

[themod]

This still isn't a fix to the original issue at hand: the backlight turning on in general with a new SMS.

I don't see one coming any time soon.

Yes it does. Try again.

EDIT: Nevermind, it seems like there's just a delay. If I wait about 30 seconds after hitting the power button, then the device is locked. If I hit the power button, then hit it again to turn it back on its not locked.

You've obviously screwed something up on your phone. OnLock locks instantly when pressing the power button.

Bumping this... when pop emails come down to the phone the LED changes, and it plays an audio notification but doesn't initialize the backlight... why can't we modify the phone to handle SMS the same way?

Another bump. I use S2U2 to set the timeout to six seconds just so that the screen won't stay lit for long whenever I get an SMS. It would be very nice to get the screen to stay dark completely. When one gets a lot of SMS during the day, it burns the battery.

my solution is just that i turn the backlight to the lowest.
but that doesnt really solve anything right?

well i was just searching around on reg edits and mabye someone could play around with this and report back

Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.

a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

Anybody fluent in MortScript? Seems like this would be something that could be done.
