Hi guys
Has anyone found a way to adjust the hard button lighting to make it stay on longer? I have searched around and come up blank. This would make the phone a lot easier to use in the dark!

I think this is what you want: KeypadLecControl.
It keeps the light of the hardware keys on when the screen is not in standby.

Done and done.
Thanks for the help. Searching for hard buttons wasn't working!
ps this is a great forum!

I use this but it is not ideal as sometimes i dont want the backlight on the buttons (e.g using SatNav at night). Is there a mod that turns the button backlight off as normal but turns them back on again if the screen is used?

had an ameo for a week and love it.
but ...
when i click the web & walk button on the left og the screen to open oprea it does not go to my hoe page 'google' instead it goes to the silly tmobile home page.
also on the keybore. a button of a sun, what does this do?? i can not assign it to anything. any ideas.
You can change the homepage with a Registry key.
Search th registry for PIE and t-mobile, I cant remember the exact key.
HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/PIEplug
change the string value Home to the page you want.
the button with the picture of a sun is for turning the backlight back on. kind of useful I guess!

I first thought this when I had this button first on my Universal. Wait for the backlight to go dim, then press the backlight button and the screen will light up. I suppose it's to stop you pressing a button that might perform another function as well as reilluminate the screen.

So it does - I was hoping maybe it would turn it off as well.
Thanks!

Short Tutorial about how to change Opera start page
I have written a short tutorial about how to change the default Opera home page (i.e. first page that opens when you start the Ameo browser).
It is at http://www.tomfotherby.com/blog/index.php/2008/01/change-the-opera-start-page-on-the-ameo-jan08/

UPDATE
Now working but........
...You need to have ChangeScreen installed for this little app to work. I have included the cab at the end of the post.
I have updated the cab below.
The screen now turns off when the phone is face down and turns back on as you turn it over.
When the phone is face up normal operation is restored.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Previous Release Notes
I put together this little APP after a post by Maverick777.
Install to your device and when you place the phone facedown the backlight will turn off.
When you flip the phone over the backlight will turn back on.
Hopefully, a few people will find this useful.
Thanks for this

Apologies -Spoke too soon and too hastily - The basics are OK but the device stays on when the device is face up - Will fix and update tomorrow.

I have updated the cab. I suspect it doesn't work because I did not realise you need to have ChangeScreen installed to make my little app work. I am a ROM Flash Junkie and after flashing a new ROM I tried hAndyFlip and it did not work. I had not put ChangeScreen in my auto setup and once installed it worked.
hAndyFlip reads the registry keys to establish the rotation of the device and at present the keys that dynamically change are created by ChangeScreen.
To be honest ChangeScreen is one of the cab's I install after every flash. I would give it a try whether of not you find hAndyFlip useful.
Thank you for this program. But I have a problem.

This doesn´t work. When I flip the phone, the display remains black.
The other way around (phone is face down) it´s o.k.
Is there something to set up? By the way, i didn´t find an icon of handyflip.

Have you installed ChangeScreen ?
I have it on my device and it works - in fact I now install it after each Flash.
The ICON is in \windows\startup
Would you prefer it in programs ? and maybe the option to toggle on/off ?
I deleted the shortcut in the autostart folder and made a shortcut by hand. I don't know why but now the program works as it should.

I think it's ok how it is because you can "deactivate" it when you push the power button to turn the display off by hand.
Thank you,

Max,
Just realised that I made an error in the cab. The shortcut it creates is wrong ! That was the problem.
I'll recab it tonight and upate the first post.

Thank you, Andy!
Could it be that the application drains the battery? The battery has drained very fast although I haven´t used the phone (Touch HD) as much.
Has someone else noticed higher battery consumption?
Or maybe ChangeScreen is the culprit?

Max, I've a feeling it maybe changescreen.
I'll do a bit of testing and come back to you.
I observed that that the cpu-usage of handyflip is very high (about 17-20%). So I deactivated it and now the battery consumption is normal (although changescreen is enabled).

Dahoarty,
Thanks for this very useful application. It works fine on my HD.
Looking forward for ur next version
This looks like a really useful app. Noticed though that the startup link is still broken and also high CPU usage as per previous posts. One request, when I turn face up and screen comes back on it doesn't just switch the screen on but it also takes me back to the home screen. Can it be adjusted so when I turn face up the screen light comes on only and it will still be in the program I was using (say music player etc).
Cheers
Barney

Hi Barney,
I am working on a new version and I will try to include your request. Please bear with me.
Andy
waiting for update.
have there been any update? I really like the idea of the program, but it doesn workin on my tillt2
got it working.but
so I changed the path in the lnk file and got it working.. but it works a bit too well... it never allows the phone to go to sleep.. If I suspend the device and leave it perfectly still, it will stay suspended . if I move it at all, it wakes us.
I wonder if there is a way to only have the script fire if your phone is face down .. and then once it is face up, it doesnt run again till it is face down again..
I figure that is why the battery drains so much
thanks!
Nice little app - useful when you're listening to music. Thanks, I have been looking for something like this.
Hello.
Is there any way to use the volume buttons to increase and decrease the light of the screen.

You can try a keyboard mapper to map keys to backlight but not sure if you can.
Before on my HTC P4350 I used the Double Launcher 2.1, but this does not work in Topaz. Is there anything similar?

Yes it is something like this, but this "TopazKbdControl_GSM.CAB" does not work for the light to increase and decrease
Help
Good afternoon.
After much searching, I could not find solution.
I tried the "TopazKbdControl_GSM.CAB" but not have the option to put the function to increase and decrease the light in volume buttons.
I tried the "SPB Pocket Plus" does not work, they have the option but you can not join, the volume buttons.
Someone can help me

Well, I don't know anything about that app, sorry, someone should come along. Good luck,,Quig
Search for mylostblog mylight. I am using that. not the best but its the closest thing too controlling the back light easier.

Lumos for me, automatic backlight control, never needed to adjust anymore ever since
Hello , I would like to turn off my Mini`s proximity sensor and light sensor , but I couldn`t find out any setting even in the registry editor .
anybody could teach me ?
thank you
I don't know about the Proximity Sensor.. But you can Turn OFF Ambient Light sensor.. In Sence, go to Settings tab->Sound & Display.. Here in Bottom you will get Backlight setting, tap on it.. Then you will see the first Option "Automatically adjust Backlight".. Just uncheck it.. Your Light sensor will be disabled..
I don't know if there any other way..
This didn't work, It merely turns off the backlight adjuster for when you haven;t used your phone in x minutes.
I am currently looking through the registry on the HDMini to try and find the entry...
Has anyone managed to find the registry entry already?
Cheers

Managed to find the HVGA port for CHT and installed, still can't seem to find the option to turn off the ambient light sensor. I think it's back to searching through the registry.
CHT looks pretty cool though after playing around with it...

sure.long press on screen,add free link,toggle switch.there u will find proximity sensor and proximity relight.
Thanks
I tried both of these, and after adding and turning on the options the phone went crazy and the screen kept activating and de-activating. I managed to turn off the options. But still, during a call the screen de-activates so I can't hang up.
I've gone back to checking the registry and have found a couple of entries which could be useful. I'm testing changing a few now. Will post the results...
You could try to use Lumos, its a nice tool to tune light sensor for oneself.

Hello everyone, I'm going crazy for even I disable this proximity sensor, and someone managed?
Me too... I have a broken proximity sensor... I can't hang up... When I make a call the display goes black and never return to light... Is there a way to kill it forever???
Look at this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488991
This is an app, that disables light sensor during calls and also use g-sensor. I have also the problem with proximity sensor (can't hang up after dial), but this app helps me to hang up. After dialing your screen turn off but if you turn your phone to landscape position the screen will turn on again.
It is solution for me.

nice app, thanks! But the feature that the screen turns on in landscape mode does not work on my mini. Do I have to change any setting for that? Also, it says it is possible to have the screen always on. Also that does not work.
similar issue in HTC Aria?
maybe this link for the Aria helps? At least it helped me, I forgot to put back a little rubber cover on the sensor:
