How do I get the backlight to stay on, when connected to charger / external power ?

Hi,
Is there a way of setting the backlight on my 8900 Curve so that when it is connected to the USB or Mains charger,
( and therefore not draining the battery ) the backlight stays on ?
I can only find settings in Options / Screen/Keyboard, which I have set to leave the backlight on for 90 seconds, and dim automatically ?
Obviously I don't want to leave the backlight on for longer than necessary when it is NOT connected to external power,.
I was hoping that there are either some separate settings that I haven't discovered,
which only apply when connected to external power, or failing that maybe an App that will do the job ???
Thanks,

When you first plug your phone in, it should go to the clock and that does stay lit. Other than that, there is no way to set the phone so that balcklight stays on.

  • How do I get the watch to stay awake longer?

    I noticed that when I am using the watch, it only stays awake for a matter of seconds before going dark.  For example, I was using the Stop Watch app and while trying to time something, the watch went dark after a few seconds.  This caused me to have to lower and raise my wrist again to access the app again.
    How do I get the watch to stay awake longer when using some of the apps?
    Thanks!

    I Think it varies with what app you're using, I just went on the message app & left it & it lasted for a good 10/15 secs before going dark plus like what DonCote said you can always just tap the screen to get the screen back up instead of flicking your wrist. Not sure whether apple will change this as they'll want to do anything to help battery performance...

    cktan124:   I searched around and found the iPad does not have a PRAM.
    Anyone else want to guess?
    I found many folks here trying to hide of the clock, but I need the clock.  I use a PDF on my iPad for my notes when I am speaking in front of an audience.  I need the clock so I can kep track of time.

    Settings you make in ACR for a Raw file are written to the separate XMP side car file. (The Camera Raw preferences has this set by default and to my opinion it should stay so, but the other option is to save them in a central database)
    However, opening the same file in ACR and make new adjustments the previous settings are overwritten by the new ones. You can save them separately but that would be a hell of a job. If you want to be on the safe side you should make a proper back up of the whole folder (be sure to have the XMP files included, by default those are hidden files in Bridge) before someone else starts playing with the settings. However, you can always go back to the default version using the option in the little menu icon next to the name op f the panel (first panel is Basic). click on the icon and from the provided menu choose 'Reset Camera Raw Defaults' to go back to the originals.
    I don't use jpeg in ACR very often but I believe ACR settings for jpeg and tiff are written in the XMP data in the file itself instead of a separate XMP file. You can revert to default or make new settings that also overwrite the older settings.
    Making adjustments in ACR shows the results in Bridge (it uses the XMP data for the preview) but to make it visible in other apps you also have to save them in Photoshop itself to make the changes persistent so that mail and print reflect your settings.
    So basically, let her play with the files and either chose the option to save the files (bottom left in ACR Window and choose the wanted provided options or open and save them in Photoshop to get the proper result. And if you want to be on the safe side let here use her own copies and keep the originals to your self.

    Move your cursor way over to the right side of the window. There should be a thin bar. when you hover over the left side of the thin bar, the cursor will change to a vertical bar with an arrow sticking out the left. Click and drag to the left.

  • I just get the new iPad air and when connecting it to my laptop, why the battery is not charging?

    just get the new iPad air and when connecting it to my laptop, why the battery is not charging?

    A lot of computers don't provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.

  • How do I get the song titles to appear when I burn a playlist from iTunes?

    I burned a playlist from iTunes, and the song titles on the burned CD changed to Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, etc. How can I get the song titles to appear as they do in iTunes? Is this really too much to ask from the world's leading music player software?

    If you are burning an audio CD, you cannot as audio CDs do not have track names. Nothing to do with Apple.
