Is there anyway that the power & backlight will automatically turn on when I slide the keyboard open?
I came on here looking for a solution to the same thing. I haven't been able to find anything as of yet.

Mine does not have that check box. The only thing I see is:
"Turn off backlight if devise is not used for [pull-down box]"

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
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.

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

searched the forum and found my answer, ty again mike.
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!
Hello everyone,
HD through tweaks I set the lock automatically switches off the display, but I have a problem. That happens to me that when you turn off the backlight (but not display) HD freezes, and unlock the backlight does not wake up, every time I am forced to shut down the display and again by the button above. Some of you have solved?
What tweaks are you using?
My VJDeviceLock seems to work quite well on my Blackstone.

Please one help
If you are referring to HDtweak 4.1 Autolock. It is a known problem that when switching back on after the autolock will not put the backlight back on. You have to press power button twice to activate backlight.
I use Gyrator2 to lock and switch off backlight when the phone is flipped face down. I turn back on with power button.
Ok thanks too much
