Tired
of the display backlight going out when you are looking at the screen -
e.g. while thinking about the right word for an sms? Wouldn't it be
nice if your phone knew when you needed the light and when not?
SmartLight does just that: Once you have opened an application, the
backlight stays on - until you close or hide the application, switching
the light off automatically.
Once started, SmartLight runs as a
background application. It can be accessed through the list of open
applications (hold down the Menu key). With SmartLight running, the
backlight stays on as long as the menu or an application window is in
the foreground. The backlight goes out as normal (i.e. after the period
selected in Phone Settings) once the user returns to the idle screen.
The light also goes out as normal after receiving or making a call, and
after the phone displaying system notifications (about new messages
etc.).
For maximum effect, we recommend setting the backlight
time-out period (Phone Settings > Display > Light time-out) to
the minimum of 5 seconds.
In order to prevent battery drain,
SmartLight will become inactive in case an application has been left
open for a long time. In this case, please close all open apps until
you see the message "SmartLight has reactivated".
Hint: Use
PowerBoot (the free tool from www.wireless-labs.com) to have SmartLight
auto-activate when the phone is switched back on.
