Display Brightness on Lock Screen

[Guest dgmorland]

I have installed Secany's wm6.5 ROM. I notice that the lock screen is dimmed after having pressed the Lock button to wakeup the phone. Only after sliding the slider to unlock does the screen return to full brightness. I am not sure if it is just me that has this problem or if it is specific to Omnia II. I am wondering how to change it so that the lock screen is displayed with full brightness.

I did have the annoying delay of 2-3 seconds before the slider appeared which was fixed using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527219

I have seen comments suggesting use Start> Settings> Backlight> uncheck "Dim the backlight if the device is locked" but this isnt an option in my settings menus

Same experience on I1 Chinese Version Rom

the cabs and files in that thread are for vga and qvga, which one did u exactly use to solve the 2-3 secs lag? thanks

[Guest Rdy2Go]

Issue does not exist on my Win Mo 6.5 ROM - standard Windows lock screen appears instead of proprietary Samsung lock screen - no problems with brightness at all

VGA

[Guest Rastas]

ok thx will try it out

[Guest lv_88]

Is there really no solution to this? Its really hard too see when the lockscreen is all dimmed :/

[Guest emperorben]

Still no solution?

[Guest bobobird]

The fix suggested in the first post fixed the 2-3 secs delay.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I gave in and used S2U2 for my lockscreen instead. no display brightness problems with S2U2

yeah, same here, difficult to unlock the phone when in broad daylight.

S2U2-Advanced-dont suspend power-on

The only workaround I have found, was using a hacked backlight.dll file that makes it bright ALL the time. so there is NO dim.

This worked for outside light.

[Guest xaznxplaya]

Put a password for the lockscreen and the brightness will work.

OMG thanks so much. I have suffered with a dim screen since i got the phone about a year ago. This works great.

You are a dead set legend mate. I am so happy now. Almost considered getting a new phone as i couldnt fix this problem but now i love my omna more and more.
