someone knows how to extend the backlight timeout of the hardware keyboard? it keeps turning off every 10 seconds when no key is pressed.

I´d be very thankful also if anybody comes up witha solution...

Backlight problem

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.

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.

Keyboard light from Backlight button

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.

enable keyboard backlight

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.

How to disable screen on / wake up on styus out?

hey guys,
I have a problem. Often when i press (or in pants) the hd-case near the insert stylus, my hd wakes up and the screen glows.
Gyrator tells me, that the sylus-in-out-sensor gives (wrong) informations. The sensor says "stylus out" but the stylus is IN!
How can i disable the wakeup on stylus in/out (registry?)
thanks for your help guys!
nick
you must be pressing so much, i just tried to press mine and pull the stylus a little from the case, and my displays does not turn on.

Please, has anyone an idea?

Hi Nick,
did you check the following registry key (e.g using PHM Registry editor):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\StylusOutStatus
0 means Stylus IN
1 means Stylus OUT
It is possible that the sensor has shifted from place. I know that others had this too with a Touch Diamond. Probably it is best to remove the back plate, remove the battery and look if you can find something wrong where the Stylus is inserted.
Looks like a hardware problem
Rick.
