Hi everybody,
I´m really desperate to lenghten standby period since my T68 is "losing" quite a number of standby hours even if switched off ovenight ! Isn´t there some (any) way to dim that f...ing light ? It is so strong I can use my phone as a torch with no hesitation, and it also hurts my eyes when turning off the alarm clock in the morning.
Thanx for any ideas and don´t try to tell me it is not possible !

It's not possible!

All you can do is turn it off.
You have three options, off, automatic and on.

Sorry...

One thing you could do thoug, is to buy a colloured film, like the protecting film you can get for a PDA.

you could solder a reistor in to the phone

to lessen the current to the lights (like the 3210 used to do)

Really NO way through service menu of any kind (apart from >*<<*<* option) ? Is your phone also losing approx. 60 standby hours per night when switched off ?

You can't alter anything in the service menu.
I've got no idea how much battery my phone drains overnight. I charge it everytime I put in the car handsfree.

Yeah, when I´m in town this is not aproblem. But I spend loads of time "offroad" and they do not exactly have electricity @ some places like Romania countryside etc. This has never been a problem with my old faithfull Motorola lasting 10 days in row. Huh...

There is a way in the service settings to change the contrast settings. Select >*<<*<* then Service settings, then contrast. And you can change the setting. Dunno if that really helps though.
