Hi,

I have made an application where the user won't do any input for a long time. And as you all know, the screen will darken after a while.

When I use DeviceControl.setLights(0,100) to lighten up the screen on my N90, it won't work. I have tried to use it in a loop (every 1-14 sec) and it still doesn´t work.

Any ideas?

Nokia didn't implement this on Series 60/80 devices.

Ok, too bad for me :(

Is it possible to work around this problem?
I know that it's possible to use display.flashBacklight(1) which will flash the light (and it works on N90), but unfortunately the display will go dark in 1/10'th of a second before it's lit up.

Is it possible to send false keypress or solv this problem?

I have used this API successfully on a E65, N73 and N95 which are all S60 3rd ed devices.

Even I am searching for it. It works on my N95 but not on 6681.

I know this thread is 1 year old. But i'm currently working on a N95 with the following code:

public void run(){
DeviceControl.setLights(0, 100);
try{Thread.sleep(1000);}catch(Exception e){}
}

Whenever i stop pressing any keys, the screensaver comes up after 1 minute.

I would like to know how fahadkhowaja or shrije made it work

It's been a while since my last post. Actually it's 4:00 am. but i finally solved this. This problem is due to Nokia's firmware. That's why not all devices with the same references (in my case Nokia N95) can access this function. This was my problematic firmware: v 10.2.2006. But upgrading it to v 20.2.011 solved the issue. This upgrading process will be performed with Nokia Software Updater in the best case scenario. But as i'm already used to, this wasn't my case. If you can't upgrade with NSU like me, you might want to try searching this keywords: "NSS" "firmware" "Nokia Software Updater"

PD1. My first post ever, and i solved it myself. Hopefully this will help someone :D
PD2. You can access your firmware's version typing *#0000#

Ya ha pasado bastante tiempo desde mi ultimo mensaje. Son las 4:00 am. Pero por fin encontre una solucion. El problema es causado por el firmware de nokia. Es por esta razon que no todos los dispositivos con las mismas referencias (en mi caso Nokia N95) pueden acceder a esta funcion. Este era mi firmware problematico: v 10.2.2006. Pero actualizandolo a v 20.2.011 resolvio el problema. Este proceso de actualizacion sera realizado con Nokia Software Updater en el mejor de los casos. Pero como siempre me pasa, este no es mi caso. Si no puedes actualizar con NSU como yo, deberias buscar las siguientes palabras claves "NSS" "firmware" "Nokia Software Updater"

PD1. El primer post de mi vida, y lo resolvi yo mismo. Espero que le sirva a alguien :D
PD2. Puedes acceder a la version de tu firmware digitando *#0000#
