Salling Clicker - Use handheld devices as Mac remotes
Authored by: azraq27 on Sep 16, '04 09:47:55PM

I've been using Salling Clicker with my T616 for a while now. The remote feature is cool, but I get a lot more use out of the proximity/in-call features. I love being able to script what my computer does when I'm there or on the phone. Now all I need is programmable lights... and the tv... I could have the whole house turn on when I get home. :)

My question: maybe off topic, but kind of related: I'm going to be giving a big presentation pretty soon, and I wanted to try out my phone as a Keynote remote, but I hate the light on the phone. The backlight is just bright enough to be annoying in a dark presentation room (at least, to me). Anyone have any idea on how to turn the backlight off on the T616 short of taping something over it?

This might work

I found this on a phone forum (esato.com):

"do you know how i can get into the settings file on my T616, i used to do it, now i've forgotten how

>*<<*<* "

if you do this sequence with the joystick and number pad, you get a hidden menu with Service Info, Service Settings, Service Tests, and Text Labels. You can go into the service settings and turn the contrast down to zero, which effectively dims the light. It's just not a real quick process, so if you have to get back to a functional screen quickly, it might not work for you.

Don't your Profiles have settings for the Light/Backlight? On my SE T68i (the forebear of the T616, IIRC) , one of the options when editing or setting up a new profile is to have the Light turned off/on/automatic.

Mine doesn't have off, just on and automatic.
