WiFi settings lost and Display wont turn off

[Guest liquor]

Been playing with my S710 for 1 week now and like it alot. Ive installed the basic utilities, overclocked with PowerTornadoControl, updated to latest HTC ROM, etc. But I still have 2 annoying problems:

1. Wifi network settings lost

I have a WiFI network at home with basic WEP encryption (I know I know its lame but I have an old win98 laptop that connects to this network! I also have MAC address filtering anyways...). I configured the network and entered the 14 ASCII characters that makes up the network key. It connects no problem and I get an IP assigned dynamically by DHCP server... But sometimes when I enable the WiFi it tries to connect and then I get prompted for network key. Sometimes it work and others I get prompted for the key again and again. It happens once in a while ... any ideas?

2. Display doesnt turn off!

Another problem that come and go... I tried editing/creating the Display value in the registry HKCU/ControlPanel/Power/Display and played with the power management in settings but sometimes it work, sometimes no. I noticed that sometime the Display registry key gets deleted (ie if I go in Power Management setting) or reset to a big value (only thing I could think of is TCPMP overwriting it)

Hope someone can help...

I too have the issue of the backlight not going off. I upgraded to the new ROM yesterday and this is when it started. I too am running tornado, I'm curious if its a conflict with the new rom? I may uninstall it and see if it works when clocked to stock speeds.

display problem is not with the rom, its with some applications that incorrectly handle the backlighting.

tcpmp, core player and i think opera (not mini) also causes this problem.

Thanks Praj, I actually just figured it out. I downloaded and installed a new home screen and this caused it to hang. I changed themes and it's working great now :)

Updates

- Wifi Problem : I noticed that when I disable bluetooth the connection works most of the time (no more wep key asked after trying connecting for 30 sec) Could bluetooth interfere with Wifi???

- Backlight not turning off : might have somthing to do withCeleTask / FreeRam - when closing Power Tornado Control unproperly... also if I manually go in settings > Power Management and tweak values the registry key HKCU/ControlPanel/Power/Display is removed

Make sure the key type in the registry is DWORD for the display issue. That should do the trick.
