- Hi all,
New to BB. I am on second unit, 8330 and now 9530,
I am running ver .132 and like it better than the OS .75 but I am still trying to learn the Storm and one issue that I have is that when I am surfing the net by screen dims quickly. I have it set at 10 secs but I can not understand why screen should go black why using browser. Any fixes for it or do I have to increase dim level over a minute or so?
BTW.
I am kind of torn between the 8330 stability and the Storms bigger screen but coming from a Samsung I-760 wih windows 6.1 the BBs are way ahead even with the few issues everyone is complaining about.05-17-09 11:21 AMLike 0 - You have to change you back light timeout to something that works for you. Obviously 10 seconds isn't enough. I personally use 30 seconds as I use a sleeper case. When I am done with the phone and close the case up the phone goes to sleep immediately.05-17-09 11:24 AMLike 0
- Yea, scroll down on your homescreen to:
1. Options
2. Screen/Keyboard Options
I have mine set to:
Backlight Brightness-80%
Backlight Timeout-30 sec.
Automatically Dim Backlight-Off
How its set makes a huge difference in your battery life; having your screen brightness on 100% all day will drain your battery like crazy! Thats why I leave mine at 80% (which is still kinda hard on my battery life) and I have it timing out after 30 seconds.05-17-09 11:49 AMLike 0 - Yea, scroll down on your homescreen to:

I got my backlight set at 20% and dim at 10 seconds. 30 seems too long for most of the time. I wonder if I should just go into the screen settings and change it when I know I am going to surf for a while? seems like a PIA to do that all the time. sleeper case? What's that? I have this snap on hard case but makes my phone too thick so I use none. My 8330 has a soft skin that I like except in the middle where every time I use scroll ball my thumb gets caught on it and got stretched out some. Do the make a very slim case for the Storm?05-17-09 12:45 PMLike 0 - Thanks for the quick replies.
