I have a Qtek 9100 that i just purchased. By looking at the softkeys, they look as if they are supposted to light up. Are they supposed to? They dont light up on mine. The 2 phone keys do light up.

Welcome to the forum doug, nope they do not light up so your device is not faulty.
Hi,
on my VPACompact II (WIZA100) the two Softkeys over the red and green Phone keys do light up!

Does anybody know of a way of extending the Universal's keyboard backlight duration longer than the highest option of 10 secs? My eyes are hurting trying to see the keyboard at night. :shock:
Don't want it a lot. Maybe 20 or 30 seconds? Perhaps this is a registry setting?
TIA
Dont even need to change a registry setting mate
Go to Start > Settings > Buttons
Then click on the Backlight tab, it brings up the options here to either have the light sensor enabled or disabled, and also how long you want your keyboard backlight on for
Sorry
read ur post wrong
Only realised myself the highest option is 10 secs!
Doh!
Yes, there is a registry setting...
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout
Change it from 10 to whatever you want. I originally set it to 60, but found that was way too long. I've got it set at 30 right now and that seems to be working well for me.
You need to soft reset after making the change before it will go into effect. Remember to turn the device off before you soft reset to make sure the cache is flushed and your change is saved.
HTH,

What about a way to change the sensitivity of the keyboard light sensor? We all I think find it not sensitive enough, and when it's too dark to see the keys, it still doesn't come on.

In what way doesn't it work? Are the keyboard lights always on or always off? At night, in the dark, do the keyboard lights come on when you press a key? Have you got the ambient light sensor enabled in the Control Panel?
I thought my light sensor wasn't working either when I first got it, not realising that you had to tap a key before it would light up.
I was also one of those that didn't know where the stylus from the box went (it was the spare)

Thanks for your reply, I have since hard reset and gone for corporate mode, and it has started working originaly in a pitch black room no matter what key I pressed, it refused to light up.
hi guys, still getting to grips with my new universal device, just wondered,
the little dot above the green phone answer key, is that a sensor for keyboard as the backlight only works in the dark, its very clever idea from HTC if it is!!! 8)
Yes, that is a light sensor.
i thought it was, but when i put my finger over it, when its light and press a button, it does not turn the backlight on, so i thought, hmmm, maybe not then. :?
You can change how long the keyboard backlight will shine using this registry hack from the WIKI pages:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout
I set mine to shine for a minute, and for my device to shut off after 2 minutes.
i also used a perenant marker on my sensor, as it had to be pitchback before it worked, now its just has to be dusk like.
Can any1 tell me how to turn on the keyboards backilght ?
i have one XDA EXEC and one MDA PRO neither of which turn the backlight when i write text (a note/email/sms...)
i very puzzeled about this...
The backlight for the keyboard comes on when it is dark only as it is light sensitive :lol:
If you cover the little white 'dot' above the green make call button with your stylus and start typing you should see the keyboard light up in the day!

You can also disable it so the keyboard always lights up when pressed.

Great, thank y'all !!!
In Settings/Personal, click on Buttons and go to the last tab called Backlight.
Uncheck the Backlight autosensor...
Hi
is it correct that there is no backlight in hardware keyboard on this device ??
regards Bo
No, there is a backlight. Disable the light sensor and try it in a dark room.

Bo,
I my HTC version there is a back light coming up when surrounding light is weak. Keys being blue thw whole keyboard shows up in light blue...the light will only switch on when you make the first click on any of the keys.
Hope this helps.

thanks, I thought I tryed it

ok i was wondering... why is there two LEDs on HTC maple and only one is being used
I noticed that too. There's got to be an app that allows you to customize how they blink. I used an old one for HTC phones but is not compatible.
I'm pretty sure the "light" on the right side of the phone is the sensor that automatically dims the backlight if you have the option turned on. I don't think it's an LED at all.
I think that there is only one LED diode exactly on the left side on the right side is a light sensor.

I didn't see anything about the second LED from that link. So does this mean the other LED will not blink?
It's not an LED.

The left side is a bi-colour LED with (maybe tri-colour) but so far I have only seen green and orange. Red maybe the third colour. Unlike the HTC Hermes 200 (Tytn) that had a second LED that was flashed blue when the bluetooth was active, the HTC Maple does not seem to have it. The right lens is actually a light sensor for the keyboard backlight *IF* you wish to use that feature which quite frankly SUCKS as I can't see anything most of the time because it doesn't switch on the backlight when you really need it.
I would prefer if it actually controls screen brightness. I wonder if there's a patch for that?

Doubtful as it only seems to be a on or off command and not a on at level command. I just wish that it would be adjustable for light level setting as it never comes on in low light conditions when it should unless you cover it with a finger.
