iPAQ 310 Backlight Dimming Issue

[Paul Remde]

Hi,

I have been successful getting my iPAQ 310's backlight to stay on, but one
of my customers is not having any luck. We played with the backlight
settings both in the street navigation software and in the Windows CE shell.
The unit stays on but the backlight goes dim after less than 1 minute. I
talked with him over the phone and we adjusted the settings in Win CE in the
Windows / Settings / Backlight Control (icon), Display (icon) and Power
(icon) screens.

Has anyone found any other settings that are working for them. Again, my
310 backlight seems to stay on indefinitely, but we set all the same
settings on my customer's unit and it keeps dimming down.

The only thing I can think of is that we may not have been communicating
perfectly when I walked him through the desired settings. Sometimes people
say, "yeah, I got it" when they don't really understand what button to push
or what checkbox to enable. But this customer is sharp.

Thanks,

Hi Paul
Did you try the instructions on the XCSOAR website of Paolo V.
See:http://www.bware.it/xcsoar/

Works for me no problem.
By the way, XCSOAR runs great in the i310 in portrait mode.

forgot to mention:

XCSOAR automatically sets backlight and sound to max

As I already told you, Paul, backlight and power schemes are mixed in the
310. You need to adjust them accordingly.
I'll call you skype...

Paul, I hope you will report your findings, as like you my 310's (I
have two) don't seem to be a problem. So if there is some setting
somewhere that is correct by accident in mine but might someday get
changed I would like to know about it.

Did you ever rebuild the registry using the engineering menu to try
and solve any of the issues?
