Re: Notification on screen tap for restoring screen brightness after auto-dimming
it's only bad if you rely on a lot of events. In normal use it won't be a big deal.

Just a FYI: I used to have an OS4 hack on my old m515 that did exactly ehat you are trying to do. Don't know how it did it, but it *did* seem to help with battery life. -- Christopher Stamper Email: christopherstam...@gmail.com Web: http://tinyurl.com/2ooncg gTalk: http://tinyurl.com/6e359r Skype: cdstamper -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/

Try sysNotifyEventDequeuedEvent But watch out - you might end up consuming more power through the CPU than you save through the dimmed LCD. Harry -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/

Notification on screen tap for restoring screen brightness after auto-dimming
I want to implement an auto-dimming feature in my app so as to reduce power consumption after x seconds of inactivity (in order to make a device such as an E2 last a full day of cave surveying.) My only problem: in order to restore previous brightness, I would need a notification broadcast when the user taps (anywhere) on screen, but there does not seem to be one. Relying on a notification would circumvent those times when my app is not the current event handler (ex. when an alert is displayed.) Did I miss something? Or is there another trick? After all, the OS uses such tap events to reset its auto-off timer.
