Guest midnight Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 about: This tweak changes all the profiles so that Backlight settings can be applied to individual Profiles. This was a request by Will who wanted the phones backlight to stay on when in Car Profile, but i thought i'd take it one step further and allow for different backlight settings for all profiles. Installation: Attached is a zip that contains new profiles, simply unzip and copy the profiles accross to IPSM(or Storage if using WM2k3)Application DataProfiles Once installed, you can now edit the profile (Programs(or Start if on wm2k3) > Settings > Profiles, select the profile you want, and press Menu>Edit) and you can change the Display Timeout, the Backlight Timeout and the Screensaver Mode. eg., if you set the Display Timeout to Never, the Backlight Timeout to Never and the Screensaver Mode to None, then the backlight will never turn off for that profile. By default, i've set the car profile to never trun the backlight out. Once you have set your profile, the backlight will not change its setting until you press a key, eg Up on the joystick.Profiles.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest paulosman Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Very cool midnight, excellent tweak. Maybe the SmartPhone developers need to pay more attention to Modaco before releasing any more models :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest midnight Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 err, there is a bug with this, but i dunno, i like to think of it as a nice side-effect. The backlight goes out, but, the screen stays on permanently, but, doesnt seem to affect battery life, which is cool, so, to see the time and stuff in daylight is still possible without having to turn the backlight on :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest midnight Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 errr, why would you want to edit them like that? just copy the profiles to the phone and edit them by going to Programs > Settings > Profiles, then Menu > Edit, you can then select what backlight setting you like.

Guest Jon_ Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 very nice, now i know im dreaming but it would be so nice if the time out for the phone to keypad lock could be changed by profile to, so it never goes to keylock mode when in car mode etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mugenakuma Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I cut and pasted these profiles into my mpx200 and now I cant set any profiles! Any changes I make are not saved so my phone is stuck in a normal profile. How can I restore the old profiles or fix this problem? Posted from my SmartPhone!

Guest mugenakuma Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Where's Mr. Midnight my smartphone guru? I really need help with fixing this problem since my phone is now stuck in a normal profile. :) Please help Midnight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest midnight Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 well, you can just delete the profiles again, or, select each profile in turn and select Menu > Reset to Default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nickwaring Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hi, Does anyone know how to do this on a C500 (WM2003 SE I think)... It's probably the best solution for keeping the backlight on when using GPS in the car... Hopefully there's someone clever out there! I've tried playing with the profiles... (various combinations) and like others I can get a profile to give you the option of adjusting the timeout but I can't select it! Any advice?? (not having much luck with bltoggle either) Thanks!

Guest fozzie Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I've tried and failed :D However, now I've had my GPS for a week the novelty factor is wearing off and I don't feel the urge to constantly stare at it. I'm now used to the screen going dark and then lighting up with each voice instruction ^_^ It saves the battery too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nickwaring Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I've switched from Co-pilot on a PPC where I was really used to the screen being lit all the time. The C500 will be connected to the DC power when in the car so i'm not too bothered about the battery issues. The other way round it would be an app that detected when the phone was on charge which then set the screen to stay on... this is similar to the tweak that can be usek for the iPAQ 4150.. But I haven't a clue how to go about doing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nickwaring Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Toyota-F1, the problem is that I don't want to have to go through a number of menu's each time I get in the car to use the GPS software... All I want to do is use a shortcut to start the GPS and just drive! At the risk of going off topic another solution would be to have a memory resident uitlity which polls the AC_LINE_STATUS data I was taking a look inside the registry and found a value "ACTimeout".. I can't find a settings field which adjusts it and mading a change directly in the registry doesn't do what you'd expect (i.e. Affect the timeout when it's plugged into AC Power) :-( Oh well!
