Hi, first post!.....
I have a O2 XDA sp (imate sp3i etc)
Please can someone tell me how to make the keypad light stay on as long as the display back light. I have a editor for registry if required but can't find line to control that feature.. I searched the forum but can't find any reference to it on the XDA SP.
I run TomTom mobile and have set the software to keep the backlight on but the keys go off and it makes it hard to make changes in the dark as you cannot find the correct key....
Any help appreciated....

Does anybody know how to edit to make the keyboard light stay on longer... it turns off so fast sometimes you are floudering for keys in the dark.
Thanks!
search the forum. this has been talked about before. the keyboard light is controlled by a hardware switch, sadly no registry keys for it :-(

Is that with an 'i', yes htc have been contacted and a hardware fix will be put in place, though maybe for the next version of the wizard.
I am on a trip and had my Universal stuck at startup and had to hardreset. Restored everything with SPB backup and all is working great besides the backlight. Whatever interval I put it just goes back to 10 seconds.
Can anybody tell me which is the setting in registry to try to fix it in that way?
Using latest iMate rom...
Thnx
Yup same thing with me, backlight switches off after a few seconds no matter what the settings. Wonder what is going on? Any solution? Thanks.
Cheers.
Is it possible that I am asking impossible? Pls, can some1 help with this?
Pls!
You can find the registry key to change the backlight duration here in the WiKi: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
I use PHM Registry Editor. Make sure after changing the registry, leave your device ON for a minute then perform the soft reset for the change to take effect.
Hi folks,
When I'm using my PDA at night, I turn the backlight right down, so it doesn't wake the girlfriend (and blind me!) This requires many steps: Start->Settings->System->Backlight->Brightness->Grab stylus->Drag on screen.
I've written a simple little util which pops up a backlight brighness trackbar, plus 2 buttons to instantly minimize/maximize. You can download it from here. There's no installer - just drag the exe to your device, then create a shortcut to your Start Menu / Programs folder. Only tested on my Universal under WM6 - should work on any HTC (non-phone) device AFAIK.
Personally, I've attached it to the backlight button on the front of the universal, so to minimize backlight brightness I just tap that button, then tap the left softkey button.
Hopefully some of you find this useful - if so, lemme know! If you have any problems with it, I'll try to sort them out.
I've also made the source code available. It's a little C# class. Feel free to use it for whatever you want.
Hi,
I was looking something like that. But when I tested at my PPC, HP 6815, it did not work? Could you please help me ?
Regards,
Great work, jp_howard!
Very useful. I'm sure it may also run on many other mobile devices.
Will have a closer look at the sources
Thanks for this nice tool!

hi jp_howard,
pls allow me a couple things:
1. it does not work while my o2 atom is cradled. maybe it will work if on battery power. let me test later, once i disconnect then get back here to update.
2. would it be possible to map it to the volume keys? this is useful for me because one of the major problems of o2 atom is the battery life, so i am force to always set the backlight its minimal setting to converse power. the problem is when i'm outdoor, i would not see the screen anymore due to the low brightness i mentioned, so it would be great if i could access the brightness level by the use of only the volume keys. anyway, i don't change the volume that often during calls...
3. lastly, i would also like to start programming in c# like what you did here. would it be too much too ask, if you point me in the right direction, so i could start programming too? btw, i'm basically a web developer, with formal training in c# windows programming as well, but not very well verse with CE programming. i've tried the hello world in vs2005 already but i'm still far from mobile programming. thanks.
I would like some help.
Part of my Prophet screen doesn't work anymore.
This means aligning is hell.
I would like to squeeze some more life out of the thing ...
Especially with guys like Gullum, Cloudifa, and all the other ones ...
I have already found out the registry key is
HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH\Calibration settings
I have only found values for elf, atom and others on the net.
But they are not yet as close to Prophet (atom is OK except for the far right side of the screen (scroll ...)
Could someone please be able to give me the values on their prophet ?
Want to post it instead of messaging directly to keep this on the forum for others.
If I should have missed an earlies posting woth the settings, sorry, please then redirect me.

These values are unique to each device. If every device was the same, there would be no need for this!
From my ROM setup: 1839,1997 3118,684 3126,3328 577,3291 602,690
Thanks !
I know about the unique settings, but with your prophet settings I can try to come closer thn woth settings fora completely different device, and maybe tweak a bit more myself through remot registry editor.
Thanks again!

You need a registry editor. If you just want to realign the screen, hold the windows hardware button and then press the centre d-pad button.
salll

Maybe a hardware issue...
Try using a registry editor (I'd use this) to edit the settings using those above... May not be perfect but may help....
Is there any application that can set backlight level to half when you open it the first time and when you open it for the second time to set the backlight level to max and viceversa ?! And if there isn`t ..can it be done with mortscript or smthing because I want to link it to a hard button in AEbutton so it will be easier to switch from low backlight (for when I`m indoor), to max backlight (when outside), much easier. Thanks.
i did a seach and found one .... your just lazy....

I`we searched too and didn`t found any only a program called Backstep but that is for Compaq Devices with pocketPc 2002 and I have an ETEN Wm 6.1 nothing else...I found a lot of apps that can toggle backlight on or of but none of it is what I need . I don`t need a profile manager app, I need an app that can toggle half backlight to max backlight and max backlight to half backlight when I push a hard button (I will map it with aebuttons).
Still nobody can help ?!
look up mvbklight. It's a small today plugin that you can slide to the brightness you want, or just click in the middle for 50%. You can skin it also.
Just make a mortscript request. If there isn't a script out there yet, I'm sure someone could code one in all of 5 minutes.
On my windows folder (Open Touch v4 black lite) there is a program called backlight.exe so I just assigned a button to that. Since the default backlight switch was on battery power it's very convenient and one backlight.exe is running I can use DPAD left and right to increase/decrease backlight.
Thank you all for the answers... I think I will map a button to ,,Scenarios" application to be easier to change the light when I want....It`s still not what I want but this is good too Thanks again. I`ll try in the ,,morscript example" Topic too

That's a pretty jackass answer, don't you think? Any reason why you didn't reply with spmething useful, instead of posting this?
Yeah..that`s what I thought too.... but If he don`t want... You can`t force him to do it anyway. If he`s like that......
