Backlights on 5621's FINALLY turn off! 1

[DavidCT]

They finally fixed the backlight issue with the 5621 phones. You can now set a value in the 46xxsettings.txt file.

Look for:

## SET BAKLIGHTOFF 120

Remove the ##. Then set the value to however many minutes you want.

Don't forget to reboot your phones!

Yes, it's great. I've had the options in the 46xxsettings.txt file for a while but it has never taken effect.

Today I upgraded the firmware on my 5621. Imagine my surprise when the backlight turned off a few minutes later.

Just wait untill your custs start reporting it as a fault "the display on my phone stopped working"

 

[Shaun E]

No, that's fine. The custs realise that it's working when they pick up the phone to call you and the backlight turns on

They then just report it as Intermitant ;-)

Hey DavidCT, thanks for the information! I've been wondering if that was actually working yet or not.
