Registry changes not being retained

[Guest tropolite]

Hi

My i8000 is running 6.5.3 (PDA: JE3, CSC: JD5, Phone: JD1), and my backlight is dimming at an annoying 7 secs.

Changing the settings using the Backlight option to 30secs or longer works for a while but it reverts to 7 secs again after using the phone.

Using SKTools Registry Editor and modifyng the batterytimeout for the backlight from 7 to 30 and either performing a soft reset or switching the phone off then on again the registry changes aren't being retained.

I wonder if anyone has had similar experience and a solution? Thanks....

Yes, I have the same problem

I solved it by setting the following registry key:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel\LockLevel to 0

I think otherwise the backlight time is set to 7 after each time the phone is locked.

(I think the locklevel neads to be set to 0 after each soft reset, dont really remember but I have added it to my startup folder mortscript...)

Thanks Gunnar for your suggestion, appreciate it.

Although, the firmware shouldn't act in this way and it got the better of me. Before I threw my phone against the closest brick wall I decided do a full, clean rebuild... My config is now;

PDA: ...NXXJE3

CSC: ...XEUJE5

PHN: ... XXJD1

It's purring along now and it's retaining registry changes etc.

Thanks for you help anyway. :huh:

well I have PDA JD3, otherwise the same, did you update a custom ROM?

Samsung KIES seams to think I have the latest ROM in my device... (location sweden)

(brick walls are hard, I have been pounding my head against one of those all day. In my case it is called crystal reports... if you know what I mean by that you definitely know what I mean by that, if not, count yourself lucky)

Sorry for taking a while get back to you Gunnar, I've been at a TechEd Conference.

To answer your question, yes I used the firmware from this thread JE3 (JE5 Update) and to be sure of a clean build I flashed EBoot too (some have said in this forum to only flash this part when necessary. Seeing as the handset wasn't performing correctly I'd say that warrants flashing Eboot (but I do mine most time and without any issue). This particular ROM is not cooked and customised so it has everything that is normally included with ROMS, including a multitude of languages included in the CSC.

It's running very nicely for me, although I am noticing slightly more battery usage.

-Crystal Reports- Gunnar, I feel your pain! :huh: I like terming that pain as simply 'Head-Desk-Head-Desk' - good luck with that ...

Cheers
