Device dimming and spb backup problem

[player911]

I had this problem on mine, and I kept changing the display time out on battery to off.

It always reset back to 15min. Eventually the setting stuck without any modding or changes.

I always power off my x51v fully when I know I'm not going to be using it for a while. But soft resets and hard resets continue to retain the settings I set.

I know this sucks because I use GPS software and having the display keep turning off every 15min sucks.

I'm still stuck with this problem...

Hello,

I found the Axim to lose the displaysettings with every softreset. I set them automatically with this batchfile (Mortscript is required):

---
RegWriteDWord HKCU, "ControlPanel\Backlight", "BatteryTimeout", 15
RegWriteDWord HKCU, "ControlPanel\Backlight", "ACTimeout", 120
---

Save the file under a name like battery.mscr into the windows\startup folder, and it will be executed after every softreset.

Regards,

Detlev

I followed the instructions, loaded Mortscript, and saved the file in the windows/startup folder. But everytime it softresets, the file shows up in text form (I saved as a .mscr) and then it doesn't execute. How do I fix this?

I hadn't experienced this issue until ROM A02 for WM5 on my X50v. I only use the Dell backup so I don't believe it is related to the backup software.

I actually just figured out my issue. The file actually was named xxxxx.mscr.txt. Somehow the .txt file got in there. Sorry for the bother.

These Mortscript things are great (impressive when you get down to it), but what would be really nice is if the backup vendors could find a real fix. I don't like to have these sorts of hacks on my PocketPC.
