Hi, please can someone tell me how to force the key lights to remain on without car headlights being turned on? Model is 8227L. Factory settings (code 8888) does not have an option for this. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Ok. I think I can help as I just did this. In factory settings (8888). Look for key light settings.
You will get a slider with RGB colours. However mine only has a white LED in the touch keys. There shld be 3 check boxes on the bottom of this page.
One of them is the option to keep the lights on. You can also turn down the brightness from the slider.
I'll get the name of the option when I reach the car.
(It's not the flicker option, or the multicolor option) it's the other one.
Edit seems not to be working.
In Key light Light Settings
Make sure brightness is set correctly (below the RGB Slider)
The three options Are
1. "Whether to turn on the colorful lights"
2. "Open Light"
3. "Flicker key light control switch"
To get mine to stay on, I selected #1, saved and exited out if the factory settings.
Hope it helps.

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

My O2 XDA Ecec only lights up the keyboard in very low lighting & then switches off after 10 seconds.
Are the ambient light levels & time adjustable?
Cannot even find reference to it in the manual - any help appreciated
Peter
start / settings / personal / buttons / backlight
uncheck the box marked "Enable keyboard backlight auto sensor"
The time remains the same but the backlight becomes active as soon as you push a button.
Thanks
The answer in ONLY 3 minutes!
Thanks
Peter
No problem the autosensor on the backlight is one of the first things I disable, the auto sensor seems to only light the keys in total darkness otherwise heh
Shame HTC didn't make it adjustable
hi
you can put your thumb over the sensor, press a key and it will turn on the glorious backlightyness
The time can be extended beyond 10 sec with a simple registry change - I found it in this forum, just do a search.
My xda exec's screen switches off when i put it into charging...although the battery is charged but the screen remains off till it is connected....the moment the charging pin is removed the backlight switches on........
does anyone have any idea what could possibly be wrong with this thing?

backlight
have u checked the backlight settings, theres a separate bar for the backlight when plugged in.. that might be right down..?
there could be a registry thing to stop it too...
Start | Settings | [System Tab] | Backlight
Within here, you have 3 tabs at the bottom of the screen.
Brightness, Battery Power, External Power. On the latter two options you should have the option to change whether or not the backlight stays on in those circumstances. For example, you can switch the backlight to go off after 10 seconds on external power.
Check this If it is still causing the issue when you have unchecked both of those boxes, well, you know where we are
tried all the backlight settings ..... brightness, battery power, external power.. ...but nothing worked ...the backlight used to switch on as soon as charging wire was removed or was put in camera mode even while charging.....finally had to reinstall the rom....now its fine....
My touch HD has just started an annoying habit - when it is on external power, the screen dims to about half-brightness in about 5 seconds. This is extremely annoying in the car cradle as it is very hard to read.
I cant find anywhere in settings or Advanced Config to change this.
Is there somewhere i can change this? a reg key?
cheers
settings > system > Power > backlight > uncheck auto adjust andf settings for external power should show up.
thx bigf00t - i tried that before, but it only changes the actual brightness of the screen while it is on power and in use. After I adjust that it then dims again after 5 seconds no matter what the setting.
You may try settings -> systems -> Power -> Advance, you should able to find what you need there.
ok - that was definitely it.
"Turn off backlight if device not used for" was set to 1 minute. I changed it to 2mins then back to 1 minute and it actually stayed bright for 1 minute instead of 5 seconds!
Nice to know that "turn off backlight" actually means "dim backlight"
After the last update when i press volume buttons in some apps the screen makes a red line on edges. What is the problem? How i remove that? I attached a photo with an example. Thanks for help
Go to Settings > Developer Options and turn it off. Specificly, you should turn off Strict Mode under Developer Options, but tuning off Developer Options alltogether should solve the problem.
