I just bought a Pro off some guy and some of the keys, mainly the outer ones are really dim. Is there an easy fix for this?

I've been using my Exec for little over a month now, no scratch on the casing nor screen, but I just noticed the tampo print on the side camera and backlight buttons are rubbing off.. No biggie but I'm a bit anal about these stuffs. How is your Universal holding up so far?
As far as the front camera (the one for video calls) is concerned it is okay because my screen protector came with two small round pieces to cover this camera as well as the lense of the main camera.
Yes the print on the backlight button is almost gone after about 1 months of usage. I also find that some marks (about 10 at the moment) developing on the screen side of the cover. This I believe are being formed as the top of the keys rub against the screen side of the cover when it is closed. Rest of the finish I find is pretty good till now with no abnormal wear of the pait work or anything else.
Kind Regards
why the backlight button? what does it do? i have had 3 of these things now and none of them have ever done anything when i press the backlight button.
just curious

I think all it does is turn the monitor light back on if it's off.. same thing as if you just tab on the screen

You have 3 Universals! WOW!
If I am not mistaken, he probably remapped the backlight button to lauch an application. Here is how:

yeah, one jasjar with vodafone - rip off data charges and they just wouldn't let me sign up for decently priced data chunks, and it had a dodgy screen, and 2 mda pro's - the first kept crashing so got sent a proper new replacement which is good so far.
keyboard marks on jasjar
hi everybody. i want to use my jas jar with the screen side outwards.. what happens is that i notice the keys of the keyboard tubbing against the metal portion of the cover (the outside) when i turn the screen outwards. will they cause marks on the surface.?
Keys are made of rubber like material so it is very unlikely that it will cause scratch marks. I have a Piel Frama case which has a film like material covering the keys. Thats the best solution if scratching the device is your main fear
hi
using mine in laptop mode ever since i got it in mid oct, no scartches on screen and none of the buttons lost markings and except for two marks on side of screen because of the two elevated rubber protectors, no other scatch or mark any where else on the body.
I dont use any screen portector or any case but always make sure that i dont have anything else in my pocket except Exec like keys etc
hi .. sadly there are no o2 exec or imate jasjar cases availabe here in india. if anybody knows please let me know .. thanks
You can purchase them online from Piel Frama or Brando or PDAir or Proporta....
The pivot worked loose, but there a thread on how to fix it.
Going to try later this week.
bougt it in october, not really been using it but every thing is still ok. It needs resetting very 2 days coz it crashes. it cashes mainly in contacts list and other time during the change over from landscape to portrait.
never had a pda before.
does this happen much to others?
Hey all,
Does anyone know of any means to turn off the keyboard backlight, force it off no matter what the situation? As well, does anyone know of any hack or program one could use to force toggle the keyboard on and off?
Aside from this, does anyone have any pictures of the keyboard open? I specifically want to see how the leds are arranged in there. I want to remove the blue leds and replace them with a few white or red ones.. or, put a resistor in, so that the blue leds are EXTREMELY DIM compared to their brightness now.
It's annoying to me that the keyboard leds are so bright, that they actually outshine my main screen (which has the brightness turned down).
Any ideas, anyone?
Hi Brad,
Most of the pics available had no shot of the keyboard PCB removed... I am also looking for it. I wanted to shim the right side of the keyboard since that part is lower than the left side.
Is your keyboard keys also going a little sunk from left to right ? you need to feel/look for it hard, since it is just a matter of half millimeter.
No.. no issues with my keyboard, other than I can't even stand to look at it. I literally just can't look at it. I have to close my eyes when I type. I think I have some extreme blue-light sensitivity or something.
My Hermes is fairly new, though... but again, the keys all seem fine. I can't *see* the keys, but they feel fine.
I just refuse to stare at extremely bright and annoying painful to look at things. I mean, didn't these guys notice that the Hermes seemed to be all blurry, when the backlight was on? And really bright??
I have been searching for the past few hours but have found nothing on the subject...
Does anyone know how to increase the sensitivity on the Sapphire? Is there a way to disable the "heat sensing" part of the touch screen (my wife has acrylic nails and a stylus doesn't work either)
Thanks
MrCheese
You cannot change the capacitive screen. So no nails and stylus...You can get a Tattoo (resistive screen)
but what about the sensitivity?
is there a way to change it?
the rom i'm currently using seems to have made the onscreen keyboard less sensitive when in landscape mode.
I think I read that external power source = greater screen sensitivity, I doubt that will help you though.
I have added a screen protector today and it seems to have had a positive impact on the screen responsiveness. When playing games my screen pretty much went dead form all the finger print grease. Glasses cloth ftw.
Edit: Have you turned off vibrating keys? nice as it is it definitely made me miss key presses.
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

I found an really good condition atrix to sell for a very cheap price, the only problem is that the home and back buttons, doesnt lit very well like the other settings and search buttons.
In galaxy S, it was just an flex cable light behind the buttons, but i didnt found this piece for atrix. its possible to fix this on atrix or i would need to replace the entire screen?
thanks!
I don't know the answer, but I suggest you go to ifixit.com and search for Atrix. That show how to dissamble an Atrix. That might help.
yeah i found 2 vids on youtube, both makes you believe that the light and the screen are the same piece. i gave up from that atrix and bought an new one
you can adjust the brightness of the buttons independantly of the screen. it is a custom option in CM7 and it is tied in directly to the brightness sensor.
