Please advise how could I do it? I tried covering the sensor, press the backlight button... but no use. Is there any setting need to be done?
Mine (Dopod 900), I just cover the sensor, press any of the keyboard button & the light will be on.
Try START/SETTINGS/BUTTONS/BACKLIGHT/
Untick "Enable keyboard backlight auto sensor"
Regards
It worked. Thanks guys for the help.

Sometimes my keyboard backlight goes on and sometimes not, where can i change the settings for the keyboard?
By default, the keyboard is set to use the backlight auto sensor. Depending on ambient lighting your keyboard backlight will either come on or not. If you don't want to use this feature and have your keyboard light come on every time you touch a button go to Start>Settings>Buttons and on the Backlight tab uncheck "Enable keyboard backlight auto Sensor"
How about the keyboard staying on when charging and open? Any ideas (reg hacks) for that?
Nothing worse then driving at night with no ambient light and trying to press the correct key the first time.
I have just performed a hard reset, and installed the latest ROM from O2. I did the basic install option.
The keylight does not work, and never has worked.... I have enabled the keylight in the settings menu, the option "enable keyborad backlight sensor".
Still no light.... do I have to turn on som other menu option or change something in the registry? Or is it just a software error? Everything else works just fine on the device.
It is just a minor fault, but I want that cool blue keyboard backlight....
It does have to be uber-dark for it to activate. Have you tried putting your finger over the sensor whilst pressing a key?
Failing that, take it back
where is the light sensor as my exec keyboard light apears not to work either and it was only deliivered yesterday!

Yep, it worked, but only when it is dark as the grave.
The button to switch it on, does not! But I'll manage, as it turns itself on when any key is pressed.
Is there any registry tweak I can do to make that sensor work even if it is not pitch black?

Enable backlight button in HTC Universal
This trick permit you to enable the backlight button in HTC Universal devices (Qtek 9000, I-mate JasJar, XDA Exec, Dopod 900…).

Without installing anything, if you disable the sensor in buttons settings, the keyboard will always light up when you press any key in any light condition.

The light button on the device is just for the backlight for the screen, not the keyboard

Top left of the keyboard, above the green answer button
My O2 XDA Ecec only lights up the keyboard in very low lighting & then switches off after 10 seconds.
Are the ambient light levels & time adjustable?
Cannot even find reference to it in the manual - any help appreciated
Peter
start / settings / personal / buttons / backlight
uncheck the box marked "Enable keyboard backlight auto sensor"
The time remains the same but the backlight becomes active as soon as you push a button.
Thanks
The answer in ONLY 3 minutes!
Thanks
Peter
No problem the autosensor on the backlight is one of the first things I disable, the auto sensor seems to only light the keys in total darkness otherwise heh
Shame HTC didn't make it adjustable
hi
you can put your thumb over the sensor, press a key and it will turn on the glorious backlightyness
The time can be extended beyond 10 sec with a simple registry change - I found it in this forum, just do a search.
Currently the keyboard light on my dopod 838 pro turns on when low light is detected automatically.
How would i over ride that so i can turn it on at my request??
P.
You can either turns on by automatically or you can turn off that feature. If you turn it off, then the keyboard will light whenever you slide the phone. There might be registry fix. Not sure.
feature? Is there a feature were everytime i open the slide the light turns on? wahh

Hello I'm having some problems with my Htc Hermes (I-MAte JASJAM)'s hardware keyboard backlight problem.
whenever i open the keyboard it lights up and when i press a key it goes off (weather its dark or not)
I have tried to uncheck / check the light sensor option in the settings but it didnt help.
I dont want to hard reset could you provide me with default keys which are in
HKEY_LOCAL_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight
Thank you
this seems to be exactly what im after. i am aware that this is an old thread but i am after the settings for the backlight registry as above.
my backlight seems to flicker on and off as im typing, which is rather concerning and irritating. any help would be great.

There is a "light sensor" setting? I looked everywhere for it but can't find. I would want my keyboard backlight on 100% of the time if my Hermes is slid open...if there's some way to jury rig that feature, I'd be pretty psyched. Somebody help!
