T3 backlight dimmer

[FGB]

Can anyone recommend a good backlight dimmer to save battery power on the Tungsten 3 ? Thanks

Hi,
I've tried using Energy Dimmer but it doesn't seem to significantly reduce the brightness on the screen. If you just want to have a longer battery life you might want to use Lightspeed. Its a over and underclocking software. You'd have to proceed with caution though. Over overclocking it may fry your device and no warranty can cover that. I havent heard of any drastic effects of underclocking though. But it does save battery life.

What exactly are you looking for? The T3 has a built-in screen brightness function; tap the time display in the middle of the status bar at the bottom of the screen and then adjust the brightness slider in the pop-up window.

I am trying to dim the backlight even more if that is possible. I had a Tungsten E and used SilkDimmer and it reduced the backlight completely but it does not seem to work on the T3. Thanks for your help.

I've been using it and am surprised it isn't working for you... Once you enable it and then activate it, set the parameters for the different profiles, mine dims the screen significantly. I have 3 different profiles with varying degress of brightness - that then dim to "0" after a period of inactivity.

Hi fnagle,
Yeah. The Energy Dimmer doesnt seem to significantly reduce the brightness of the screen for me. I've set the main brightnes on the bottom of the screen to the lowest and after I installed ED and tried to lower it further it doesn't really impress me.

I just started using Power On that I got off of Palm Gear.com. So far, so good....
