Is it possible (through registry maybe) to let the keyboard light ben always on when it's on power.
I'm a lot in the car at night, and it's really annoying that I have to push some key to activate the keyboard light and see what I really wanted to type.
I've seen 2 entries, Qkeyledtimeout and on/off
but those aren't the ones I was looking for.
I'm not sure about anyone else but I have many times found myself using my phone's screen as a flash light. The hermes is particularly well suited to this purpose as it has that nice beefy LED on the back for the camera's flash. I was wondering if anyone knew any way to activate the LED in its sustained low intensity mode without using the camera app?

VJCandela
Or SEARCH XDA It is in alot of cooked roms.
VJCandela is really good as a flashlight. You can also map it on hardware button and thus making it available all the time (I mapped it on button 5 long press).
So the one thing that is annoying me a lot about my Nexus One is the backlight on the 4 capacitive buttons and the trackball flashing at night when it sites on my nightstand. I guess I could also add the charge light to this case as well. But that is less bothersome at the moment.
Does anyone have anymore information on whether the light for the trackball, capacitive buttons, and charge light can be disabled?
The only bits of information I can find searching is that the phone needs to be rooted to do this. That is great. What would be the next step? Is there a /proc listing for the trackball, capacitive buttons light, charge light that might take input to disable them?
Would love to hear if anyone has more information on this subject as i can't seem to find much info.
I have the same problem because I either have mine on the bed with me or on the night stand and that damn track ball light is bright when its pitch black, and I can't even tell you how many times I've bumped those damn capacitive buttons while typing or just in an app.
I hope the guys building custom roms will add toggles, or some developer will make toggles for rooted phones that would be very awesome and appreciated, I don't think just by me either.
I've never seen mine flash while charging, maybe if you have an alert, but you can clear those before you plop your phone down for the night.
the only light i have on when charging is the little orange light....
I'm guessing, that you need to answer a message or email or something.
You can use LEDs Hack, from the Market, to disable them; you can even configure it to automatically disable them when you plug in your phone, and re-enable them when you un-plug. It's free, from the developer who created Bedside, the (IMHO) best night clock app. (If you like LEDs Hack, you might try Bedside for a mere $1.50 -- a pittance, really.)
My impression is that if you have the built in clock application running before you turn your phone off, trackball and buttons light won't turn on even if you have an alert. I might be wrong though...

LEDs Hack looks EXACTLY what I am looking for. Thank you for this tip (doesn't show up in my searches. But found on androlib.com).
IMHO, this functionality SHOULD be native in the phone.
I wonder if this program also covers the trackball light flashing?
Yes, I know the flashing is because I have a message waiting. But the point is, I don't want to be woken up in the middle of the night because of a flashing light just for a silly email or text message!
Hardware Keyboard lights up, anyway to do a mini light show with it, different keys lighting up to music or something like the old rokr
I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos of people's review of the Nexus S.
Seems like the soft buttons don't light up at all? Even when they're pressing it? Any ideas? is it light sensitive like the screen and only goes bright when there's no light? Is there an option to turn on/off the soft button lights?
I would assume that there is an option for it. you're right though, I haven't seen it enabled in any video.
yes they do, I believe the phone is able to detect if there is a enought light availabe and if so they won't light up.
