Just wondering if anybody had the experience. Today, my YB automatically updated the Goodix touch HID driver through Windows update. After the update, it reset the halo KB settings to default, so I accessed the control panel to change it back to my personalised settings. I could adjust the vibration and tone, as well as the sleep timing settings, except for the brightness. The brightness level doesn't seem to hold, and it keeps resetting to 50%.
I have tried rolling back to the old driver, but that didn't help.
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks!

For some reason my device has suddenly started switching to the minimum backlight setting whenever it's switched on. If I go to the backlight settings and then adjust the slider it will stay at the selected brightness until it switches off. When it switches back on again it's at minimum brightness and I can hardly see the screen!
This started happening after I installed and then removed PocketZenPhone.
I don't really want to hard-reset the device unless I absolutely have to - does anyone know what registry key sets the default switch-on brightness?
Thanks,
I dont have the solution but I have had the same problem intermittently. Can be really aggravating in the dark because it can be hard to get to the proper screen to increase the backlight. Hasnt happened in a while. Have not been able to figure out what triggers it. Have not installed PocketZenPHone. Curious if anyone has an explanation.
yah, i've noticed this to, sometimes i'll hit the power button to take it off standby and the backlight would be off. first couple of times it scared the hell out of me cuz i thought the screen had broke or burnt out.
also i noticed the version of spb pocket plus i'm using (3.04 build 4195) doesnt adjust the backlight brightness.
Now that you mention it. the SPB Pocket plus backlight does not work for me either. Strange...
Well I think I've managed to "fix" this by setting the following;
Backlight Settings:
On battery power, turn off backlight if device is not used for [5 min]
Turn on backlight when a button is pressed or the screen is tapped
Power Settings
On battery power: Turn off device if not used for [3 minutes]
I think the key thing here is to have the device auto-switch-off BEFORE the backlight timer kicks in. Since setting the above three settings I have not had the same problem again.
Ill give it a try as well.
Hmm...maybe someone can help me. One day, my backlight timer settings when the PDA's not plugged in reset to 10 seconds (in the registry it has it as 7 seconds). I'll go in and change it to 2 minutes (the original setting I had it at), but the minute I turn it off, it resets back again to the 10 seconds setting. I even tried going into the registry and changing it, and it resets it back to 10 seconds. I suspect it may have something to do with an entry in the "scheduled tasks" but it looks like a complete mess. Is there some kind of scheduled tasks cleanup utility?
Thanks,

hello i have the same problem using phothet with WM6
Thanks

I had the same problem often about 15 months ago - it happened often each day.
I posted herw but had no joy with a solution - but then found one on Modoco (i was looking about March/April 2006).
Even with that - it has still done if perhaps five or six times since - and basically makes the phone unusuable if it happens somewhere or time with poor light.
My KJam backlight keeps changing by itself to dark
Suddenly my KJam backlight always turns to low without me doing so, then I have to change it to high, barely can see what I’m doing as it is almost black. This is kept happening especially after I installed Pocketweather. I reinstalled the Rom, it worked fine then suddenly it is back again when I switch the screen off, or automatically it is switched off, the backlight slider I find it at the lowest end.
Why thus is happening, it’s driving me crazy, please help me

Happens to me after a soft reset, then sleep. The wakeup has the backlight switched off.
My work around is to go into backlight settings immediately after a soft reset, change to a different level, then change back to the required one. After that it will wake up with the correct setting. Bit of a faff I know but thats M$ for you!

Here is one solution:
http://www.iaccarino.de/silvio/ppcstuff.htm
Scroll down to the backlight timeout fix.
Or use a registry editor and set the value
LockLevel
beyond the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel
back to zero.
Or if you use phoneAlarm you may also use the newest version of my NetManager
http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=2650.0
the timeout bugfix is included in this release.
regards,
Silvio

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!
This bug just started happening to me and I KNEW it was related to the phone lock (because it didn't start until I was playing around with the lock settings) but couldn't figure out how to fix it.
Whew... that was driving me absolutely nuts.

HTC Cruise backlight
Hey
i had the same problem (i guess) in addition to that the level of backlight used to decrease to the basic level after hanging up a call. However when i re-adjusted it, the level indicator is exactly where i left it! and once i touch it (not move it) it "remembers" the current level! but still darkens after hanging up calls or coming up from a sleep period.
the solution was :
after a soft reset, adjust the level you want then immediately lock your device and let it turn off the screen by itself. when it wakes up everything will be stable.
Hello everyone,
After installing HTC Cube and HTC Album, after the set timeout the backlight dims all the way down to zero, so I have to go into the settings, system, backlight and then set it to the desired brightness again and after the timeout, it will go to fully dimmed. If I use the power button to put the phone into sleep mode, this issue does not occur. I've since uninstalled the above named programs but the issue persists.
Any ideas?
anyone?
I have flashed CM7 Nightly #71. Post flash the Input buttons on the phone stopped glowing. Reboot does not help. Even boot time the input buttons are not initialised.
Any solution ?
Edit : Well played with Display setting -- With Screen brightness set to auto mode, input buttons behave normally, but take a while to glow once you unlock the screen. Well I am using brighness widget button in the power widget to change the brightness.
Edit : Well after playing multiple time now it behave normally across all brightness settings in the widget. I shall trying reboot and check if it initialises during boot time and post reboot behavior.
Edit : Input button don't initialise during boot. 25-30% brightness setting when changed to Auto brightness, Input buttons started glowing normally.
Is this a bug or input button are supposed to behave in this fashion ?

That commit messed it all up.
It remains lit for me all the time - but, your comment on the commit explains it all.
I am on #83 with new kernal flashed. Input button issue still remains. It does not come on for some settings while toggling battery settings in power widget notification.
I have installed miui camera from kevin2516. Sometimes camera sound goes after clicking few times. Along with camera sound, all sounds of the phone go off even calls. Only reboot resolves this?
Any solutions please?
The Sound Off issue is a known bug. It was *probably* solved in CM7 Stable versions, not sure though.
Move from #71 to #83 feel voice clarity during the call is reduced inspite of 4 bar full signal indication.
Feedback ---- #83 with new kernel, miui camera error with complete sound off couple if times
Hey guys. So about a week ago, I received the latest update from att (ASGK) and it came with haptic feedback for navbar gestures. They also updated goodlocks task manager with gesture haptic feedback as well. However, it has not worked on my phone since the day I recieved the update. Now its not an issue that will bring about the end of the world, but if anyone has some ideas of a fix for this, I would greatly appreciate it.... Haptic feedback is a small... but comforting feature to have lol.
Maybe try going into settings, sounds and vibrations, system sounds and vibrations, make sure touch vibration at the bottom is toggled on. Then back out one screen to the vibration intensity and adjust the touch interaction to your liking.
