N95 Keeping the Screen Saver from taking control

[witmant]

Hi,

On N95, I am trying to keep the Screen Saver from taking control bye performing the following command in a thread.
But no success, any Idea?

Thanks

...
while(true) {
DeviceControl.setLights( 0, 100 );
Thread.sleep( 2000 ); // 2 seconds
}
...

A bump on this thread.

I too am trying to do something to stop the screen saver from coming on while video is playing in my J2ME app.

Is there a way to do this? Or should I just be letting the user know they need to press a key every once in a while.

It doesn't happen when played through RealPlayer so there must be a Symbian way of doing it.

Does anyone know which E3 FP1 Devices this doesn't work on? I am testing on a N95-3 (850MHz version with V10.2.006 firmware) and it doesn't seem to be working.

Notes from latest Nokia-UI docs below.

This function may also be used to prevent screen saver appearance (supported in S60 devices starting from S60 3rd Ed FP1, except for some early FP1 devices). Calling this function once will delay the screen saver appearance but does not disable it permanently. Thus, if the screen saver should be wholly disabled, it is needed to call the function repeatedly for example in a separate thread. The delay between two calls should be smaller than the time-out of the screensaver (the time-out may be for example 15 seconds or more depending on the used device).

And I have the same issue where the screen saver still comes on for the 6120 Classic firmware V03.70.

Code I am using is as follows:

private class KeepLightsOn extends Thread {
		
		private boolean lightsOn;
		private int LIGHTS_SLEEP_TIME = 10000;
		/**
		 * Constructor
		 *
		 */
		KeepLightsOn() {
			
		}
		
		public void run() {
			//myMidlet.addErrorLog("Lights on started");
			while(lightsOn) {
				//#ifdef polish.api.nokia-ui
					//# //DeviceControl.setLights(0, 0);
					//# DeviceControl.setLights(0, 100);
				//#endif
	    		try {
		    		sleep(LIGHTS_SLEEP_TIME);
		    	}
		    	catch (InterruptedException ie) {
		    		myMidlet.addErrorLog("MP: Lights on interrupted: " + ie.toString());
		    	}
		    	catch (Exception e) {
		    		
		    	}
			}
    		
		}
		public void startLights() {
			lightsOn = true;
			start();
		}
		public void stopLights() {
			//myMidlet.addErrorLog("Lights on stopped");
			lightsOn = false;
			//TODO fix this setting of the lights manually
			//#ifdef polish.api.nokia-ui
				//# DeviceControl.setLights(0, 50);
			//#endif
		}
		
	} // End KeepLightsOn
