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!

Hi,
Sometimes my backlight does not switch on when I've pushed the on/off button for 1 sec to go out of the stand-by mode. I can see that the telephone is working but only without backlight. I don't know where I can find the settings. I'm using the Vario from T-Mobile.
Can somebady help me with this?
thank you in advance.
Regards Witte
maybe hard reset or rom update? , cant imagin what will do that unless somthing is hogging all cpu power perhaps
A reset will help but I'm not happy to update my ROM. I'm afraid for more problems.

Did you have the power cable in?
I have the same problem when i'm charging the phone.
When i press the power on button the light stays off.
Maybe you've got Spb GPRS Monitor installed on it?

Spb GPRS Monitor does this problem on my 9100 too, any software with SPB in the name seems quite buggy.. ;-)
OK,
right now I don't have the problem anymore but I'll will monitor it and maybe then I will uninstall the gprs monitor.
Thanks!! :lol:

MDA Backlight issue
I ran across a problem with the MDA, where I adjusted the Backlight settings. From there on the Backlight woulf not turn on unless I went to the setting control to adjust it. The fix: Go to backlight settings, set your brightness desired (maybe in the middle). Go to Battery power from the tabs that are currently listed. Make sure you have (Turn on Backlight when a button is pressed or the screen is tapped) Selected. Then press ok.
That should fix it if the issue you are experiencing is similar to mine.
I have the same problem with my artemis. And i think is from spb plus since the backlight control button from today dont even work on this new version. Or from phone profiles. Everytime i make a soft reset i have to reajust the backlight or when it turns off i have to make another soft for reajusting before it goes out. It's quite boring and i'm trying to find an app to replace spb with the close button and task button ant the today buttons shortcuts if is that the problem. And my artemis rom dont know why dont have the option on the backlight settings to turn on when screen tapped or key pressed.
I remembered reading some posts concerning using the backlight button on the Universal to turn on the keyboard light but I can't seem to find it anymore.
Can somebody point me in the right direction to map the backlight button on the Universal to turn on the keyboard light?
Thanks.
Just stick your thumb over the sensor =)
I think that was the advice in another similar thread.
There is a registry hack to make it stay on longer than the 10 seconds that is selectable from the control panel, mine is set to 30 seconds.
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.
Does anyone know how to enable the keyboard backlight so that it comes on when the keyboard is slid open and stays on as long as it is open?
I've tried disabling/enabling the daylight sensor but no matter what I do the keyboard light doesn't come on until I press a key.
I'm intersted too!
I think that it is linked to the general backlight settings ie if you set your screen backlight not to go off after a certain time, then neither will your keyboard.
Also, I think that there is a way to alter the timeout for the keyboard by altering the registry keyboard timeout.
However, I don't know how to do this myself, I expect someone on this board will know. I'm pretty sure that someone described this in the Wizard or Universal part of these forums, that might give you a clue.
Good luck

Yep, I have mine on all the time - just 'cos I like that pretty blue glow!!
My settings are:
Start>Settings>Buttons Icon>Backlight Tab
Uncheck Backlight sensor
PLUS
Start>Settings>System>Backlight
Here on the Battery Power and External Power Tabs I have both Unchecked.
Under Start>Settings>System>Power
I still have turn of power after 5 minutes if device not used.
