Now I'm using the Desire rom(Alpha 14), but there is a problem on my Nexus one.
The touch keys backlight don't light up.
Could someone give me help? Thanks a lot.
I actually find occasionally they do, and sometimes they dont, but doesnt bother me heavily...
They light up. They are just slow to responde to the light sensor.

Hi, does anybody know how to light up the side buttons with which you can pick up and kill call? I mean when the HTC is closed with display in. I guess it would be great to have the light on in the night, but I have no idea how to do it. Somebody guessed that the light comes from display, so it only lights up, when the display is on, but that is not true, because I already had it on, while closed (some application did not close). Any help?
Hello
I have a problem with my 8525 hardware keyboard.
I have the backlight auto sensor enabled and the light doesnt turn on when i slide my phone open.
But... when its on the charger it works
Whats the problem??
Im using joshes m2d light 3g rom
Thanks in advance!
Does it turn on after you start typing or does it stay dark?
it does turn on after i start typing,
but i would like to get the sensor to start working
so it will turn on when i slide the phone open
Backlight issue
I've discovered from just using my 8525 that the backlight to the keyboard goes on when I first press a key on the keyboard but only if the light in the room is very low. Sometimes it seems like the light level in the room is low enough but the backlight still doesn't go on. Too bad there isn't a low-light level adjustment for the backlight feature.
Just so folk know - it is possible to set it up so when you open the keyboard it lights up regardless of the light level and key presses. Right now I can't remember how!! but I set mine up that way ages ago. Does use more battery power however so it is not necessarily a good thing - but looks pretty.

The keyboard backlight and the backlight of the capacitive buttons is controlled by the light sensor on the phone. It my living room at the moment. The system can't decide whether the backlight should be on or off. It's really ****ing annoying. It turns on then off again about three times per sentence so far!
Why can't it just be ON when the screen is on and OFF when the screen is off? I don't even have automatic brightness on. The tiny amount of power wasted when your in bright light would be worth it.
I've also seen the keyboard backlight stay off at times when it was quite dim where I was; times when I really could have used it!
I don't understand how this sort of crappy behavior gets through HTC quality assurance testing. Don't they use the phones before just shipping them out?
EDIT: Oh, hey! Problem solved. I put a small piece of black electrical tape over the god damn light sensor. >.<

Lol @ tape. But I cant really say anything about the hk light because I dont use it alot but, there was an app that was for rooted g1 that could controll the backlight of the keyboard. Maybe when the g2 is rooted we will have some better settings or an on off controller

I have that same issue (my touch buttons) go crazy when I use the device, they act like the notification light, and I noticed that about the keyboard too...
The phone has a **** light sensor overall... I can be in a dark room and the phone would be bright as shyt, conversely if I'm near a bright light, the screen doesn't get bright enough.
Hopefully these problems won't exist on my replacement unit.
It's not the sensor, it's the software. Nexus One had all the same problems until CyanogenMod fixed 'em. Boom, working auto setting, working backlight on capacitive buttons.
Stock 2.2.1 AFAIK still has the same issues.
The backlight on my keyboard stopped working the 5th day I had the phone. The light sensor does suck. I was on a call outside and the screen kept coming on. My cheek kept activating buttons on the screen while on a call. Not good. I'm 12 days into my 30 day remorse period. I'm not sure if I'm sending this one back for a replacement or just calling it a day altogether...
30 or 20 days

How did you get 30 days remorse? I was told it's 20 days when buying directly from tmobile website.
Is anyone else having the issue where the keyboard sometimes doesn't light up in a dark room as well as the front buttons?
It works every so often, but I could be in a pitch black room and it will stay off when I go to text.
Suggestions?
Oops....Found out that the plastic on the keyboard edges wasn'tremoved. Didn't even notice it. Seems to work now!
I've noticed the same thing. I'm gonna see if maybe I can find out what's causing it to happen

There is also a light sensor so the lights won't light unless it is dark. Keep that in mind as well.
I just noticed a very weird glitch in the yureka stock cyanogenmod ROM? In normal phones, the light of the touch buttons only lights up when the buttons are used whereas in Yureka, the buttons light up every time we touch on the screen. This is very annoying particularly while using the phone in the dark environment such as night. So anybody have solution to this? Please work on this issue so that the buttons light up only when touched. Thanks.....
