Hi, as everyone here i was playing with android apps , downloading, chatting and everything... i added the Brightness control app instead of the power control gadget and pressed the 0 level and the ( close after press ) option was checked.
Now everything went dark... is there a way to reset the brightness level coz whenever i boot android i see nothing but i hear the volume up and down !! .
MOCKING NOT ALLOWED
It's ok now, i booted one more time, slowly unlocked the screen blind folded...and paned to where the brightness gadget is located - pressed - pressed again and i got lucky .

Did you check the keyboard settings ?
(in Settings/Personal/Buttons see the last tab called Backlight)
Is it dark when you try and use it? the light won't come on unless the ambient light level is low!
Thanks Tekflow,
Yes I did in both positions, auto and disable auto.
It pisses me off.... the JJ is brand new out of the box, I kindda hoped I'm stupid and I just don't know how to handle it...:-(
Best,

Hi Tintoy,
Yes tried it even in complete darknes, but if you disable the Auto KB backlight sensor, there is suppossed to be a KB BL manual button (user manual pg 10, button # 5). Tried both sits. Nada.
Thank you,
Saar
Is it a hardware defect? On my MDP Pro it works very well.
Sounds like a hardware problem, doesn't it? Off to the service centre...

Hi guys, faulse alarm, I'm standing in the corner.... It does work but in its own logic, ...only when you actually press a key. I've expected that it should be on/off once the sensor dictates it's dark. Probably my own logic is faulty as I guess it could suck up the battery juice.. anyway, all's OK, thx .
Best,
Saar
that's good news ....
What I did is the following: I unchecked the "Enable Keyboard ..." and put the time to 10 sec for "Turn off if not used...".
So each time I press a key on the keyboard, it illuminates: I found this useful even in full day time in order to see clearly the signs in red. On another hand I did not notice really a significant difference in battery life.

What would be preferable to losing the cool auto-sensor altogether is a reg hack to adjust the amount of darkness that triggers the sensor. It's set waaaaay too dark at the moment, and needs to come on in less dark surroundings. Any ideas?
I to have a exec, and have the keyboard back light set to come on when i push a key, but what is the button next to the voluse slider for as it dose nothing
Thanks

If the screen backlight times out, pressing that button turns the backlight back on again. This avoids you having to tap the screen or press a key thus accidentally selecting something you didn't wanna do!
OH! thanks for the info on the button, But i have my screen and backligh both set for 5 mins so asume this buton would be needed if you set the screen to turn off after say 5 mins but the backlight to go off after 30 seconds?
Thanks
John
so I put the dimming to be after 30 seconds, which works.
however I put it to shutdown the scree after one minutes, however it stays on forever, unless I physically press the hang up key, the screen will be on all the time.
the other question I have.
2- When I search on google, and press on one of the results in opera it takes me to the definition page, rather than the actual result that I wanted
3- is there a fix for LED notification, I installed the cab to fix that, but it didnt make a difference.
4- the pink spot at the middle, I searched around but didnt see any real solution
can anyone help please
regards
While I can't offer any help, I can feel your pain! I too am experiencing this f**ing event! I placed in my pocket before boarding for a 6 hour flight yesterday and found it still powered on when the flight had ended. I had just enough power to make and receive a call! Great.
I've double/triple checked my settings after this same thing happened to me previously! WTF!
edved.
i had the same problem what you need to do is to change the screen light setting in the settings menu

Ok. I'll try your suggestion, but please tell me what the screen light setting should be?
Thanks.
just go to the backlight settings, tap ok and it seems to be fixed..
(but offcourse check if is set to turn off after a minute or whatever your needs are)
I experienced this yesterday.. just like in normal windows, some functions just stop working with no particulair reason.. I don't really worry about it.. probably fixed in the next rom.. same sometimes happens with the screen lock, sometimes it's gone.. also after reboot, althought I find it more convient that way, it can be fixed by locking the device manually.. this does proof we can disable the device lock somewhere, I really don't need it in the case I use, the power button is enough..
good tip to always push the power button before putting the device away.. saves a lot of battery too then to wait for the minute before it powers of by itself.. the large screen is the battery's biggest consumer.. this way you also don't have to trust the automatic power off.
problem is pushing the power is not enough.
because if there were any even that woke the phone up, it will never shut down the screen unless you saw it, and do it manually

no the automatic power down is seperate from the screen lock, but for some reason they connected it with the automatic power down and left the options to choose out.
Kinda a bizzare problem with no fix in sight... Here is how it started:
Last night I was reading texts right before bed. The screen was too bright for the dimly lit room, so I opened up the brightness widget to turn it down and accidently hit 0% with my knuckle ...and before I could press another value/button, screen faded down to black and I couldn't see anything. I could tell it was still on tho, because I could put to sleep, hit power key and swipe L to R blindly on the black screen and feel the vibrate when I "found" the unlock slider (Froyo 2.2)
Now I have hard reset phone and deleted everything I could find associated with Android. I recopied the Android folder to SD and booted. Everything appeared fine till after setting up gmail account, then went right back to blackness like before!
Is there a cache/file that retains these kind of settings? Reg value? I am new to this (WM and Android...HD2 my first phone of this caliber) and would GREATLY appreciate any help or ideas.
Thanks guys
EDIT: So I skipped past setting up gmail, got to home screen and the fade began, but I managed to hit the middle button before it went totally black, and that brought up the app cube, and also kept the screen on! Manually set brightness and I'm in business now! Beware to others about hitting that 0% button! Its a pain...
MODS: Please delete this thread...
Ok i dunno what i have done but ive turn my phone of then back on and the phone loads up and starting saying android and then it goes black phone still on cos can here volume button go up and down.. any help? cheers
Happened with me forcing a wipe, the reason was, I set the brightness level too low for the LCD, that it shuts down brightness fully, leaving the LCD black.
I have flashed CM7 Nightly #71. Post flash the Input buttons on the phone stopped glowing. Reboot does not help. Even boot time the input buttons are not initialised.
Any solution ?
Edit : Well played with Display setting -- With Screen brightness set to auto mode, input buttons behave normally, but take a while to glow once you unlock the screen. Well I am using brighness widget button in the power widget to change the brightness.
Edit : Well after playing multiple time now it behave normally across all brightness settings in the widget. I shall trying reboot and check if it initialises during boot time and post reboot behavior.
Edit : Input button don't initialise during boot. 25-30% brightness setting when changed to Auto brightness, Input buttons started glowing normally.
Is this a bug or input button are supposed to behave in this fashion ?

That commit messed it all up.
It remains lit for me all the time - but, your comment on the commit explains it all.
I am on #83 with new kernal flashed. Input button issue still remains. It does not come on for some settings while toggling battery settings in power widget notification.
I have installed miui camera from kevin2516. Sometimes camera sound goes after clicking few times. Along with camera sound, all sounds of the phone go off even calls. Only reboot resolves this?
Any solutions please?
The Sound Off issue is a known bug. It was *probably* solved in CM7 Stable versions, not sure though.
Move from #71 to #83 feel voice clarity during the call is reduced inspite of 4 bar full signal indication.
Feedback ---- #83 with new kernel, miui camera error with complete sound off couple if times
