O2 Exec - How to turn on keyboard backlight?

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.

Backlight on the keyboard buggy?

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.

Keyboard Backlighting

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

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

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.

Keyboard Problem

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!
