for use in a dark car, I'd like the LEDs on the bottom row of hardware buttons to stay on longer. Is that possible to increase?

Is the keyboard on the universal supposed to have a backlight? my mda pro doesnt and i cant seem to find any settings for it either? bit of a design flaw if it doesnt
When you bring your device into a dark (enough) area, the backlight will lit up automatically.
To test it, you can cover the small dot which is upper of green button (near hinge) and press any key.

Or if u click on start\settings\personal\buttons and then click on the backlight tab take the tick out of enable keyboard backlight auto sensor then the back light will come on whenever a key is pressed.
Use's a little more battery i suppose but nothing noticable and is also good for testing
Is it possible to one day change the keyboard backlight brightness? Under normal lighting conditions the backlight on the bronze G1 washes out the letters making it extremely difficult to see the keys.
The backlights under the keyboard and the chin buttons seem to be very dim and I would guess that there is a way to adjust the brightness as can be done with the display backlight.
Hopefully someone can look into seeing if it's possible or an official patch is released to raise the brightness. A different color would have been better, too bad the whole "put blue LEDs in every damn consumer product" trend is over, I think blue LEDs would be much more visible.
i haven't had any problems with the brightness, but what really bothers me is that the backlight turns off so damn fast. On my old Dash, the keyboard light was controlled directly by the screen's backlight. If the screen was lit up, so was the keyboard.
I'm getting really tired of hitting the menu button to turn the lights back on without messing anything up.

It annoys me too, but tip: nudge the trackball a tiny bit, not enough to move the cursor. You'll get used to it until there is some type of fix.
Is there any way you can assign the quick key buttons on the G2's physical keyboard to mimic the actions of the capacitive buttons on the front? Mostly looking to hit home and back. I guess for home i could assign it to a 3rd party launcher right? what about back?
Would love to know as well.
I tried this as well. It's weird how the different versions of this phone have totally different keyboards. Verizon has no trackpad, arrow keys instead, euro Desire Z has home and back on the physical keyboard, etc.
What's odd is that the capacitive buttons behave erratically - just like the Nexus One. In other words, backlighting is flaky, they are hard to see in low light conditions, randomly come on and turn off, etc.
I'd be happy with a fix that turns them on when the backlight is on....

The capacitive buttons and keyboard backlight seem to be activated by the ambient light sensor. Try turning the phone towards a source of light and wait a few seconds, the lights should turn off. The opposite should happen if you point your phone away from a light source. It's slightly annoying how long it takes to register the amount of light... but I don't think it's that bad.
Is there any way to stop the capacitve buttons backlight turning out so quickly?
Seems a bit ridiculous that this isn't tied in to the light sensor - it's nigh on impossible to see those buttons in the dark. Why wouldn't they have set them to have a much longer time out when the light sensor is reporting it's dark and you're interacting with the device?

HEAR, HEAR! I agree with you 100%!
Since the developers are missing the source code I don't think they can make an application like Keep the Lights On like Android has.
Hi!
I've acceidently broken my phone's screen. New one came, installed it but the button backlight seems to be turning on, no matter where i touch the screen. It goes off after a while. But it also feels mutch brighter then the original one.
So my question is: Am i stuck with glaring backlights forever? Or i can make them somehow less brighter? Or even make them work as they suppose to (lights only when i touch the button) ?
Thank you!
button 's bscklight turn on always when the screen is awake and/or you touch it. Yes people say the replacements are brighter.
I have S3 Advance and the buttons where always on when using the screen, not only when touching a button. perhaps you don't remember because they were not so bright

Yes. Probably that's the truth. Still any option to make it less bright? I remember on some rom i could change it.
Thank you btw!
not any option about it (yet) but I don't think anyone will take care to make the LEDs from buttons darker.

there may not be a hardware controlling the brightness so the only way is to lower the voltage which is not configurable in kernel.
So the left hack is to add a resistance behind the leds i guess ?
How about the files in "/sys/devices/platform/leds-mt65xx/leds/button-backlight/", could I modify one of those to dim te hardware buttons?
