The back light of my aria's touch buttons have stopped working, I've read in another forum that the aria has a light sensor. Does any one know how to fix this? I've considered a hard reset but I'm still unsure.

Seems like every time I wake my phone up the home screen is horizontal even though I'm holding my phone vertical. Any way to fix this?

I recently had the digitizer on my G2 replaced and now find that the accelerometer does not function. The Google Star app doesnt rotate at all, compass doesnt work, and the screen does not auto rotate. When I flip the keyboard open, the screen does rotate. Does this sound like a hardware or software issue? I've done a factory reset of the phone and made sure in settings-->display that auto rotate screen is checked.
Sounds like hardware especially since you just replaced the screen. What rom are you useing anyway? Or are you still stock. Also who replaced the digitizar? Was the work warrentied?

Hi,
I bought my wife a Wildfire but the softkey backlights are a bit of a pain - under both 2.1 and 2.2.
They appear to be ambient light sensitive - so they come on when it's dark and go off when it's brighter. However, it has to be really dark/dull for them to come on - and I think the sensitivity is set too low.
I can't find any way of adjusting the sensitivity - and it is not effected by the brightness controls. No way to keep them on permanently either - like my Desire HD.
I'm just wondering if the sensor is faulty or if it's just normal behaviour and we need to get used to it? it needs to be twilight with the lights off for them to come on - or really dull internal lighting. They never come on outside unless it's just about night-time.
Let me know your experiences?
Cheers - and a happy new year.
Well if it helps if anything Myne is over sensitive

Im sure it is automatic and does not use the ambient light. There is no setting for this that i know of. Im sure if u just look the phone and unlock it the backlights come back on.
I believe it works with the brightness of the screen, so if you set it to automatic brightness then it'd be automatic. otherwise it'll just follow the brightness set.
I read on another forum that the sensor is behind one of the speaker grills.
That does seem to be the case; on my Wildfire, if you cover the righthand side grill, the lights come on.
The sensor seemed to be on the black screen frame - near where the notification light was. I could get the lights to illuminate by covering it up too - but as soon as pulling my finger away, they would go out.
Anyways, my big-fingered wife couldn't get to grips with the virtual keyboards on the small Wildfire - and I tried as many as I could - Swype, Better, various T9s etc. So we still had enough time to exchange the phone to a physically keyboarded Android phone - she got a SE X10 mini pro.
Thanks for all your help though...
I think its in the black strip by the htc logo

My soft keys and keyboard backlights don't work. It quite annoying, and I've tried everything I know of short of restarting(im texting someone), and I would like to have them so I may see the symbols(I've already memorized the text layout so I can type without looking) as well as it just looks cool. Any help would be greatly appreciated

This is a known issue with the GB leak... restart the phone and the lights will come back... for a while...
The way I've been 'fixing' this is by going into my camcorder, turning on the light and turning it back off, locking the phone and then unlocking.
Seems to fix whatever muffs up with the light sensor.
Thanks for the tip. Will try that next time I need the lights in a pinch. Is this the regular camera, or the video camera?

The tip from MetalFrog works! Glad I don't have to restart my phone every time!
Thanks!
I also use DroidLight, which does the same fix as the video camera's light.
A quick Google search didn't yield any results, so I bring my issue to you.
It seems that when I have touch control enabled, and I remove the phone from my face during a call, the screen does not come back on unless I touch the screen to wake it up. I know it's touch control doing this, because when I disable it, the sensor works fine. Just wondering what causes this and if there was a fix short of disabling touch control completely.
