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

So I installed CHT and the CHTeditor (although it is not written for the resolution of my phone), I have managed to look through the settings on the editor but couldn't find the setting. Can you point me in the right direction?

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:

Is there a registry hack or something that will change the level of light that the keyboard backlight comes on? I find it doesnt come on soon enough.
Don't know of a reg mod to change the light sensor sensitivity but you can turn it off and have the backlight activate every time you use the keyboard.
Settings | System | Buttons - Backlight
Ive noticed this, in a almost pitch room the light dosent come on, cover the sensor and it illuminates, then is rooms where i would say its not required, it turns on,
ive now used a black fine marker to colour in the top of the sensor, its alot better now.
Thats a great idea, just off to find a marker pen - cheers for that!

I have seen then when you talk in a iPhone and you take the phone from the ear and want to use softbuttons during the call the screen automatic turns on and off depending on the light around it. If its bright the screen turns on and vice vers
I have searched for a program to the diamond on the forum but I havent found any, is there any out there?

There U can set the Light sensor to work as U want it.

Tried this but doesn't quite work, but thanks.
hey there,
i was looking for a software which illuminates the phone when I slide up the keyboard. and if possible, is there any way to keep the keyboard AND the PAd Illuminated while I'm typing????
i've been reading the last 21pages of the forum but no results....
(very funny to write a new topic with the xperia)
Try "advanced config"
I'm not sure, but I think it has an option to set the keyboard's backlight timeout
EDIT:
CONFIRMED
Advanced config -> Input -> "keyboard backlight timeout"
Set to 10 sec default
Change to your desired value up to 10 min
Hope this helps
Thank you for your help but I could not find the option you talked about. I have the french version SFR of the xperia but after i searches every option in the settings I found nothing about the keyboard.
my problem is when the phone is not active(i.e. screen black)i want to activate by opening the keyboard but it has no effect.
you have an idea????
you do know that advace config is an application right.. search the forum to find it..

I installed advanced config 3.3 and the option he's looking for isn't there.
I'm looking for something to make the keyboard backlight to be switched on at all times when the keyboard is out. Still searching the forums...
the keyboard light will come on only when you are in a dark room - one thing you could do to keep the keyboard light on all the time is to cover the LDR with some dark tape or something

I doesn't help. The problem is keeping the keyboard backlight on as long as the keyboard is out.
btw. I know the difference between LDR and camera.

lol good wasnt making the assumption that you were a doosch. I'd check on mine to see if i could help but i broke the USB port and its in for repair atm so soz
somewhere there must be somewhere that says "turn backlight off when key not pressed for how ever long" and then u can increase that number b- maybe a regedit ?
no idea where tho
Re-checked:
Installed advanced congif 3.3
Input -> Keyboard backlight timeout
It's there
And....
Does anyone here know how to keep the keyboard NOT lit up ?
(Keeping it dark ALL the time)
I hate how the light of the keys blends in with the silver keys...

Yes, that setting is there, unfortunately it doesn't do what I want it to do.
I want to have the keyboard backlight on as long as the keyboard is out. Or at least light up when I tap a typing area on the display, you know where the software keyboard normally pops up.
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.
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?
