Hello,
I just got an MDA from t-mobile off of Ebay. I was able to unlock it and everything seems to be working fine.
I am just wondering if the "messaging", "internet explorer” and the two buttons above the call and end buttons are suppose to light up. It looks as if they are suppose to, but they are not on mine.. Is there a setting or something I need to do???
Thank you all again for your help!!!
They don't light up unfortunately.

Hello,
I own a Qtek 9100 and i believe it has worked, but now the softkeys do not lightup when using, only the phone keys light up. Is there a way to correct this? Is iut my imagination and it never worked?
Your experts help is much appreciated.
Thanks

I believe soft keys never light up...

indeed they do not
I had somewhat hoped that e.g. the messaging button (top-left) would light up if you had a new message, myself - but alas The buttons are non-transparent, so even if there were a little LED behind them, you wouldn't see it :>

That's an awesome idea! You should work for HTC
I know, right? And have the PIE / T-Mobile hotspot (silly branding!) one light up if your wifi is on and a publically accessible hotspot is within range. Whee!
meh, anyway 8)
I was just checking to see if any one else had the same issue. I have T-mobile MDA, its working fine, the only problem I have is that the two soft keys above the send and end keys do not light up. Looking at them closely gives me an impression that they should light up.
they are not supposed to light up
I was wondering this on my XDA Mini S. It really looks like they should have lights inside them. At least mine isn't broken
site note: I love my XDA
Hi,
I got my Orange SPV M3100 on Friday and already i've noticed what i think is a hardware fault. Not a big fault and i totally love the phone (Skype over wifi an encrypted connection works perfectly), but i'm worried as the phone is only a day old.
The first few times i opened the slide out keyboard I thought i noticed a nice blue keybourd backlight come on. I say thought as i can't find any reference to it in the manual. However whatever i now do, i can't get it to come back on. I've installed a few applications, but i doubt they would have caused it to stop working.
I don't suppose anyone else out there could tell me under what situations the backlight should come on (or if one exists), so that i can test it, and if it doesn't come on, i can phone up and get a replacement sent out. Its not a big problem and i can still use the phone, but you don't expect hardware to die after only a day.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

there's a small hole in the top right of the keyboard. This is a light sensor. So, if light's on your keyboar led will be off, and if it's dark your keyboar led will be on.
you have to press a button too before it comes on iv found.
there is a setting for it as well somewhere to turn it on
Thanks for the advice guys, but the keyboard still doesn't light up if i open an application that asks for text to be entered and then slide out the keyboard in the dark and then press a key. Looks like my light sensor has died. I've just phoned Orange and they are sending me a replacement for between 6 and 10pm today (what fantastic service!).
Same issue over here
Hello I am experiencing the same problem over here.
It worked for the person who sold it to me and now it does not anymore.
Do you know if this is an HW or SW issue ?
Any other cases around?

seems I have the same problem. i'm on orange and the light was working now it doesn't.
EDIT: no i dont have a problem. I went into a dark dark room and then typed something and it worked. if i cover over the "light sensor" with my finger and press a button, it doesnt work.
Indeed
Indeed I had a wrong interpretation of the function of the sensor:
The sensor works in the following way:
If it is dark AND there's a key pressed AND the setting in "Settings" is set to enable sensor THEN keyboard backlight is turned on if no light in evironment.
If the setting in "Settings" is set to enable sensor THEN keyboard backlight is turned on AS SOONS AS you press a key.
A little dumb from my point of view: if I slide the keyboard in the dark, is it to look at it in the obscurity? The simple sliding should turn it on by night.

I've noticed that the backlight on mine (Vario 2, it's a red backlight... urgh) doesn't come on all the time if it's dark or dusk-level, which is really annoying. Sometimes hitting the tab key brings it into life, but sometimes it just doesn't come on at all.
One of those 'temperamental', 'great idea in theory' designs methinks.
I also found out that if the turning screen backlight off on inactivity is disabled, then every time I slide out the keyboard, its backlight is turned on.
Hello all,
Please don't flame me for this simple question, I did a search but couldn't find the answer
I just purchased a used 8525 over ebay...
I was just wondering which buttons are supposed to light up when using the phone?
Currently, only the ON and OFF telephone buttons light up as well as the keyboard...
Is this normal or are the buttons corresponding to the soft button also supposed to light up?
Thanks.
Good question...
I just got one too, and now that you mention it, it looks like they should light up, doesn't it?
Mine don't either.
Sorry guys...only buttons that light up are the green and red phone buttons...the rest is by feel
Thanks for the info dwcliff703
Just wanted to make sure my 8525 wasn't defective.
Thanks again

Hello,
I have a Telus branded P4000. Since I had It,one LED in the bottom left of the screen that was always full on - so there was a brighter part always on my screen no biggie.
Today I took apart my phone to see why the DPad stopped working. After I put it back together (done it many times before), I noticed my dpad still not working, but my screen was uniform again?!?!?! no one bright LED. Nice. Take what you will from that.
After that my SD card stopped working. Is that a loose connection I can check? which connection would it be? (plan on checking it over again tomorrow).
Also is there a fix for the dpad not working? all the other hardware buttons work, just not the dpad.
I am guessing since you checked the connections that the dpad is just broken and will need to be replaced. Also you have one lcd with a backlight the bright spot is a manufacturing defect not one bright LED. Most of the time the bright spot will come back and get bigger.
yep I think you are right on the nose.
is there anywhere I can get a dpad?
will one from a titan, mogul or 6800 fit into my P4000? I'm guessing so just want to make sure.
and if you have hook ups let me know
Any pad other than a xv6800 pad will work.
thanks go one on order now
So still no d-pad.
Got a brand new one. Still no d-pad, every other button around it works no problem. But the d-pad does nothing. I can feel it push, but nothing happens.
Is this a software issue? I don't want to wast money on this if it's not going to fix it
