I've picked up an e62 from Cingular and just loaded TomTom Navigator 6 on it. Everything works fine except the backlight is always OFF, no matter what. I assume that this is a difference in firmware between the 61 and 62 as this doesn't happen on the E61. Since TomTom is probably not going to support Symbian in the US, this will probably not be addressed.

I had hoped that S60SpotOn (an always-on backlight application) would override whatever TomTom is doing, but that's not the case. With this app the backlight cycles on and off about every 5 - 7 seconds, which helps a bit, but not SO much.

I was wondering if anyone famliar with Symbian and these phones might be aware of the difference in the API or whatever controls the backlight, or if someone could assist me in writing a program similar to S60Spot on that might work "better".

IF this is the wrong forum for this type of query I'll apologize in advance.

Thanks,
Marc

Did any one find a way yet???

try this and let me know if it works for you
Code:
1. Start TT
2. Goto Backlight prefs.
3. Set it to When not charging and click done. Unplug charger if it was plugged in.
4. Now wait for the blacklight to shutoff and wait a little more, for the screen saver to activate (The one with the date and time).
5. Once the screen saver activates move the joystick, TT should now come back with the backlight fully on.
6. go back and set Backlight prefs. Too what ever you want.
7. It seems you need to do this every time you start TT.
