I just upgraded my X50v to WM5. I use my PDA in meetings, and the clicks I get whenever I hit start or select a program are really annoying.

I have already gone to start>settings>sounds & notifications and "enable sounds for screen taps" is not checked. I don't want to turn the sound off altogether since I need reminders; I want the behavior I had in WM 2003SE. (Turning off sounds for Events fixed this)

One other thing, the screen dims much too quickly for me now. Where can I set that to a higher value?
(Thanks to Haesslich, I fixed this in start>settings>brightness>battery power>dim backlight)

BTW, I tried to update my Dell/Navteq software for WM5, and the only update on the Navteq site requires 2006 maps, which cost $90! I "chatted" with Dell support online, and they are going to send the new maps to me at no charge. That was an unexpected bonus, and good customer service.

Thanks,
Victor

Make sure you check the Backlight setting for the number of minutes to leave before turning off the backlight. As far as the screen taps causing sounds to be heard... I think you'd need to turn off the sound for Programs, which disables the sounds for notifications, IIRC.

 

Thanks, that took care of the backlight problem.

Turning off the sound for Events, while leaving it on for Programs and Notifications got rid of the clicking I didn't want, and kept the alarms I need. How stupid is it that tapping start is an event! And I have no idea what other events I silenced. But the clicking is gone.
