i've noticed that my power and brightness settings revert to default settings over time without a soft reset. this is frustrating, as i have to check periodically and reset my preferences. has anyone else experienced this? also, i have an axim x51v (which i am looking to sell by the way) which gives me the option to automatically run at full brightness when on AC power. it doesn't appear that the wizard does this. I figured this was a function of WM5. Is there a hack to do this?
thanks!!
Hi guys,
I'm very new to pda's/smartphones 'n stuff, so be gentle.
I have a Touch Dual since few days, and the one thing that irritates me is the keyboard backlight. When typing an sms the lights go off just after 8 seconds or so... That's too fast for me, I still have to get used to having a qwerty keypad on my phone.
to be clear: I don't mean the backlight on the display itself, buy the light beneath the keypad when open.
Is there a registry setting, or a tweak/application that could correct this for me?
Thnx in advance,
Lukas
same problem here...
You could try the most excellent KaiserTweak, I've found most of its tweaks to be compatible with my Nike, haven't tried the backlight though -> http://www.jongma.org/KaiserTweak/
yes try the kaiserTweak. it's under option Keyboard->backlight. The default value is 10 sec. you can up the time to more in the tweak.
Downloaded the tweak app, changed the keyboard setting and a bunch of other interesting settings (because I'm a curious idiot in case someone asks) and now the device kind of hangs on the password screen... I can't unlock anymore.
The device reacts to taps and both screen and keypad input. Also, if I type the wrong password I get the obvious error message. If I type the correct passcode, and tap 'unlock' then nothing happens and after a minute or so the * disappear and I can start over again..
Is this a known bug?
What do I do now? Hard reset? That will wipe out all my settings and files right?
Thnx
Lukas
please help... Hard reset did not help. Device is still unresponsive...
This are the numbers I get when the device is booting:
M 04
B 04
R 1.58.16.27
G 25.61.30.03H
D 1.31
just want to make sure you did your hard reset correctly. how did you do it exactly? the button by the battery after you remove the back cover?
I took this from the manual because from what you described. doesn't sound like you did it correctly. a hard reset should put it back to its factory setting.
Hard reset
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings -‑ the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile® software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
To perform a hard reset
1. Press and hold the TALK and END buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the left side of your device.
2. Release the stylus, but continue pressing the TALK and END buttons until you see the following message on the screen:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press ENTER to restore manufacturer defaults, or press any other button to cancel.
3. Release the TALK and END buttons, and then press ENTER on your device.
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.
Hi Fatlove...
Indeed you're right. And I did read my manual. And I did it EXACTLY like stated in the manual.
This is what I posted in the General forum:
Ok,
This is going to be stupid, but I'll admit to it anyway...
I've read in the manual on how to perform a hard rest. It states to push the send and end buttons, keep the pushed in, and then press the soft reset button until a text appears on the screen. That text states to press "Enter" to continue, and any other key to cancel.
Well, the 'Enter' key to me is the 'enter' key on that qwerty keypad, not the shiny silver button between the Send and End buttons.
To the writer of the manual the enter key on the keypad does not exist.
So that's why a hard reset did not help. Because I did not perform one.
My bad. Anyways, my phone is ok again, sorry for the doublepost.
Grtz
Lukas
Anyways, thnx for the reply, and for the record: the keypad backlight still doesn't work after har reset and re-applying the keiser tweak. Still lit only 8 seconds or so. Does it matter that I copied the Keiser executable to my storage card? It doesn't have to be on the device itself now, does it?
Thnx again.
Lukas
Nope.. kaisertweak is not working for this property (Keyboard backlight)
Anyone
I tried several Registry settings but nothing worked so far.
Anyone else had succes?
Still no solution for this problem?
It's pretty annoying
I tried changing values in the registry as well, but nothing worked. So I'm also interested in a possible solution...
Damn, I hate that light turning off that quick. There must be a solution
I also have been trying a lot of registry settings without solutions
Anybody knows?
I tried this kaiser tweak on my dual and it had no effect. Had to remove it.
kaiser tweak had no effect on my dual either..
qwerty key board
hello i have the htc touch pro and my external keyboard light go's off in about 3 sec does anybody now how to get the time longer
I've the same problem, keyboard backlight stops after about 8 seconds
I tried some register settins and also with Advanced Configuration Tool (Julien Schapman), but no result.
Hope somebody can fix this
Now i have two defys (a normal and a plus) upgraded to JB CM10.1, and noticed:
1. Defy+: Keys HOME and SEARCH are a bit dark, RETURN is off. maybe damaged?
2. Defy: same issue
At reboot, all keys are flashing normal, no difference, strong light.
So it has something to do with CM 10.1
Does someone have more information, same experience, more ideas?
Thanks
Have you made a factory reset before flashing?
You could also try to manually adjust the hardware button lights to maximum. Go to Settings -> Advanced -> Button-Brightness
sure

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
They are at 100%. And i was false: HOME and SEARCH are off, MENU and BACK at 50% or so.
All the same on three Defies i modded so far with quarx 4.1.2 2013-07-09. funny.
EDIT: Resolved by using android device manager to push a factory reset.
Today my phone boots fine and applications like my VPN begin running normally. However, the entire screen is black (besides my status bar) and there is no haptic feedback or lock screen accessibility. I changed my lockscreen and encryption password last night and never properly rebooted; the phone powered off due to lack of battery... I suspect this may have triggered the problem.
- I can pull down the status bar and change settings, activate car mode (which works,) etc. I cannot enter the full settings menu or any applications though. Nor am I prompted to enter my lock screen password after the initial decrypt during boot.
- Removing SD card does not help.
- Booting into safe mode does not help.
- Opening S finder via pulldown menu briefly flashes my home screen or whatever application is open.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this?
I have discovered that often, not always, my s5e will not accept data input while in portrait mode, but will accept it in landscape mode.
For example, I can enter, say my phone number, in the data box. However, when I press enter, submit, send, etc., the number either disappears, or, the enter button will not process the data.
All of this only in portrait mode, never in landscape mode.
This is a continuing issue for me....it is not isolated.
Any thoughts ?
Try wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't help then backup your device and perform a hard factory
