I'm running DamageControl's 2.06 ROM. When I start up phone up from standby, the hardware buttons as well as the trackball underneath the screen do not light up.. Is there a fix for this?

are you in a brightly lit area?
They will only turn on in darker areas due to it being controlled by the light sensor.
Oh yeah alright, when I cover up the light sensor, it turns on.
Got it, thanks for the help though!

Hi
is it correct that there is no backlight in hardware keyboard on this device ??
regards Bo
No, there is a backlight. Disable the light sensor and try it in a dark room.

Bo,
I my HTC version there is a back light coming up when surrounding light is weak. Keys being blue thw whole keyboard shows up in light blue...the light will only switch on when you make the first click on any of the keys.
Hope this helps.

thanks, I thought I tryed it

I tried looking in the forum for any info on the status LED next to the speaker on the front side but I don't see any posts on this. Is this LED supposed to flash or do something? On my HD it has never worked? Is it supposed to work?
I remember on my Artemis it would flash green for good reception, blue for bluetooth and red if the battery was low.

I may be wrong but i was under the impresion that this was a sensor rather than a LED.
No, that's entirely correct, it is the light sensor. The LED is in the power button.
the status led is on the power button on the top right hand side of the blackstone...the place u highlighted is a sensor as what scotia has point out..
I think that it is a proximity sensor used to blank screen when you put the phone on your ear to talk.
It's actually the light sensor used for when you have automatic display brightness enabled. When it's dark, it turns down the brightness... And when it's a sunny day it cracks it up. I am not sure whether it's used to blank the screen during a call... This seems to happen after a period of time has elapsed.

ok thanks for the info.
So does the power LED on the top side flash any color to show the status of the reception or does it only light up orange when it charges?
Thanks.
doesn't do anything for reception..although mine flashes green hen I have a message/email/reminder
pity though, a decent LED to show such things was probably high on everyone's wishlist
No, the HD is perfectly unobtrusive. On my last PDA the LED had to be tweaked to stop flashing.
Too bad this isnt a LED diode Since I got on my Diamond a light notification (on the bottom of device)... when I recieved new sms... now on HD there is no way I can figure do I have new sms or notification unless I turn the screen on. The only hardware flaw by mine opinion
When its lying down, I agree with you. Then I have to turn on the screen. However when its lying next to me I'm usually not in a place were I can't use my phone, so the sound is on anyway.
I actually think its quite good the LED is on the top, it's easelly visible when the phone is in my pocket. I just have to pull the phone up a little and look down to see the LED (no need to get it out and turn the screen on). I like it on the top, nice and discreet, and not anoying me when I'm looking at the device while using it.
Perhaps a combination would be nice? Front and top That would sattisfy most people I guess...
Is it possible that my 4 buttons don't light up anymore? [back, menu, home and search] I just flashed the new Desire ROM and noticed that they aren't lit up. Not sure if it's the rom, or the hardware, or my eyes failing me but I believe that they aren't lit. Is this possible? are they on the same circuits and stuff as the screen?
Desire rom lights them up based on the light sensor. Put your finger over the sensor or go in a dark room and they'll light up.
I actually prefer it this way over the stock rom. It's a nice touch.
Was in a pitch black closet, but no dice. Thanks for your reply!
If you wish to turn them back on try LEDs Hack from the market. It might still be there.

Hi all,
I was wondering if there was a way to force the keyboard keys to stay lit up until you close it. It seems to be cutting out mid type.
Thanks.
It turns off when you it's bright enough in the surrounding area. You can flash cyanogenmod and set all the brightness settings.
Thanks,
I guess I was hoping to be able to control this manually without having to flash a different rom.
At this time its not possible to control it manually from stock froyo. Maybe in gingerbread?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
do you have it set to automatic brightness? I noticed my keyboard turning on and off while typing and the screen dimmed and brightened with it. Turned off the auto brightness and hasn't done it since.

Turning off the auto brightness hasn't made any difference to me on my DZ. The backlight for the keyboard and capacative buttons seems to turn off and on quite often for no apparent reason (badly calibrated light sensor ?).
has anyone tried covering up the light sensor with a sticker or something? lol idk

That would certainly work, you can put your finger over it and show how it's the light sensor doing it. Probably not the best long term solution though
I got on Saturday my exchange MT4G and realized that the illumination of the 4 buttons doesn't turn on all the time. Are these buttons also controlled by automatic brightness? Means they don't illuminate when it is bright?
Yes, they will turn off if you're in a bright lit area.

Good to know. Funny that I wasn't aware of that on my first MT4G.
