Hi. Just bought a Kaiser after moving on from my old Hermes.
Seems like there are a few differences in the way the button lights operate. It seems that when a call or SMS/alert comes in the button lights (call end/pickup etc) do not come on - only the screen light does.
Does anyone know how to make these lights come on as well?
Cheers.
No-one else have this problem?
I concur this is true, but I don't know how one would solve it. To me it isn't a problem.
Not a problem here either...
...Just press the OK button under the THUMP WHEEL when you get a call if you need the buttons to light up.

Now this is probably me missing an obvious setting BUT - I liked to set my Hermes to have the keyboard lit up all the time when open. But I've tried various combinations of settings and cannot get the Kaiser's to stay on. In pitch darkness I fumble a bit as it goes off after only a few seconds and anyway I like that blue glowy keyboard even in daylight (not as bright as Hermes though ) Anybody got a setting to make it stay on??

Oooh I like asking newbie questions again

I have posted on this subject both here and at Modaco (See my Front panel lights post) and no one seems to reply so I can only assume that no one can find a solution.
Bump.......

Any solution for that ?
not sure what you mean? a half press of the camera button turns the lights on
I think he means when a call comes in, the buttons on the face of the phone don't light up... I have been wondering about this too - it's not great when trying to answer a call in the car at night.
I have noticed that as well. Of course, I can touch the screen to answer, but it would be nice to see the red and green call buttons lit up as they did on my Wizard.

This is is my problem.
Happens with the Vario III too!
At present I do not own a TyTN II, but soon that will change (most likely)...but i just want to verify something.
The front buttons; call send, end, ok/softkey, start/sofkey, (and to a lesser extent the directional pad) do not light up at all, or only when a call is coming in?
They are backlit (well, not the directional pad), they are just saying the backlight is not automatically triggered on an imcoming call.
So what is the solutions for this?
How to keep buttons backlit when call is incoming?
Is it possible to keep these buttons backlit as long as the screen is backlighted (would be easier to navigate while you are in car in the dark)
Thanks,
Piotr
I searched registry without result.
Thanks for replay, but is it really true that it can't be changed??!!
pleasy anyone, help!
Help me too
This evening I was walking to my car which was parked on an unlit parking lot. The backlight not coming up automatically is really annoying Any help would be appreciated.
I got used to it. Now I can just press the buttons without looking the phone since there's no solution to it yet.
I found out that solution is pressing the camera button half way down (which is very easy to find and to press) turns on the backlight of all other hardware keys on the front of the device. really helpful.
greetings
Now that i read this thread, i just realized i was feeling for the buttons to answer a call while i was driving cos it was dark & i still am not familiar with the buttons....it's only been a week since i got the TyTN II Would love to see a tweak for this if there is
I found out that solution is pressing the camera button half way down

That's not a solution. That's finding another button, to turn on the backlight to find another button
Anyway. I'm afraid I have to get used to it. But it's these little things which annoy me more and more. How come interface designers don't think of this?
Has anyone found a solution to this, it's really annoying, I was woken up by a call last night and was fumbling around trying to find the answer key in the dark . My old Artemis used to light up the buttons along with the screen on an incoming call.
Was wondering, on my old 8525 whenever someone called my green and red phone buttons would light up, ( well, all the d-pad lights would )but on my Tilt it doesn't do that anymore. It makes it very hard at night to answer a call without pressing the screen. And don't get me started on how hard it is after a few drinks!! Its impossible!
If there's a setting i can use please do tell. Thanx
If you do a quick search in this forum you will find that it has been discussed many, many times. However, noone has come up with a solution yet - unfortunately.....
ok, thank you very much. I hope someone figure this out soon, I drink a lot and well . . . I need lights to show me the way!
how do i hangup a call?
the screen is black and therefor inaccessible after a very short while so i cant use the
on-screen red end-call buttun, and also the button on the right-bottom (phone-icon down)
doesnt work!!! (or sporadically: cant put my fuinger on that yet....)
i tried the tweak where my screen will stay up while having a call, but that one doesnt seem
to work on my rom-version or so? (standard 1.35 dutch version).
is there another (or new) way to keep the screen up while on a call maybe?
please help: this is highly annoying as you probably understand.....
Thanks group!
The (hardware) button on the bottom right should work normally if you want to end a call. It could be that there is just a little leg between pressing it (once) and the phone actually responding to it.
If you want the screen to pop on during a call, just press the power button on top of the phone. Could have figured that out yourself... (even by searching the forum)
what a problem.... lol.. did you assign the hang up button to something else??
thx guys!
no, not assigned to something else.
the power-button is ok yes, thanks. still: the screens display should stay on, right?
thank you!
much appreciated

No the screen light will not stay on when your making a call. Simply put and its been repeated so many times on here now...that when you make a call the diamond light goes off as soon as the sensor senses that its near your ear...the sensor is next to the earpiece...clear little led light. What you can do to get around it...which is what i do is ring the number you want to ring and dont put it next to your ear until you get the vibrate ie when the call connects then put it next to your ear and the light should stay on...well it does on mine but if that dont work then when in a call just press the middle navigation button and that will turn the phone backlight on for you.

Spawn, you're absolutely wrong about the sensor... the screen light goes off regardless of whether you hold the phone against your face or not.. it's a timer..
Older phones like the Touch Cruise didn't have the sensor but yet it turns the backlight off after a few secs...
It's a timer setting in the Registry.
It turns the backlight off to save battery.

i thought spawn is right but i did a very simple experiment.
called my self from my fix phone and live the diamond on the table face up. i answered without picking the phone and after a few sec the light went off.
happyguy82-1, spawn and kukuriku-0
if there is a timer it has a registry and where there is a registry it has to be a "tweak".
btw, another way to have the light back and a safe background for yr ear is simply pull out the pen. you''ll get a note that will not bother anyone because it is not actionable by yr ear lol!
if you'll light on the screen with any other means you and your partner in the conversation will get for sure a few "beeps" when the phone pad is touched by yr ear.

Ermm no it doesnt...i just made a call to test your theory....didnt put the phone to my ear and when i did the light still stayed on. Left the diamond still connected for about a min or so and still the light stayed on...
On my phone i have the TLR version 1 rom running and made a few adjustments in the power settings so dont know if thats made any difference to the light staying on etc.

you are right ...i think i didn't pickup the phone but i was too close, looking at the screen....and that was enough to start the sensor.
checked again keeping asafe distance from the phone and the screen doesn't turn off...
Hi i'm new to this site and this's my first post.
I'm sorry for my poor english but i don't speak it very well.
So,
i have a problem with the Home button (under the screen on the upper left of the central pad), which, when i put my finger on it turn is light not to the common light but shows a strange orange light. What's is it? Is it a malfunction?
Thanks a Lot
Is really a curious thing
I know
I know but it's really so.
The home button has the roof in orange color.
But according to you is necessary to send the diamond to warranty service??
Please reply
The strange thing is that the button and also all device work fine. very fine
well, it's kind of a strange situation lol.
did you buy it from orange ?
NNo i buy it from newprice.it i'm from italy.
I have seen that the back-illumination of buttons(home call and end-call buttons) under screen is too low.
Is this the cause of m problem?
How can increase back-illumination of buttons under screen.
post a youtube video so we can see exactly what are you talking about
Just curious...in the TD1, I used S2U2 to avoid accidental touches to the screen but as the TD2 already has the side to answer/end .. what do you use now?
I'm having a few issues I did when I got the first diamond where if someone calls, or you call out via bluetooth, the phone screen turns on
Usually end up hanging up on someone when I call them because the screen touches the pouch/pocket etc
I think there are a few apps to disable screen apart from hard keys etc - just curious what the majority use

Is there a tweak for this in ACT? With my t pro when a call goes thru the screen goes dark almost immediatly, so I have the opposite prob as I need to use the kp to enter numbers sometimes. I could see where using bt it could be an issue tho.
I was wondering if the D2 came with a proximity or light sensor to disable/turn off the screen while it is against your face. I hate my Elfin.... I'm always pressing things with my face and getting into all kinds of menus.
My brothers Behold has sensors that shut the screen off. As of recently I have been pressing the power button to turn off the screen after I answer. Can't wait till mine ships on the 11th.

I asked the same question in another thread, and would be very curious about the answer, especially since gsmarena.com does not mention it as a feature, in comparison to the D1.
the iPhone has this feature...and I really can't imagine the D2 to do not have it. I hope I won't be surprised negatively.
i presume it does
Bearing in mind it automatically dims the backlight, and increases it. It must have one somewhere!.

I sure hope. I read that the Touch Pro2 has it so I'm hoping that the TD2 does also. If not that would be a shame. Good thing I'm getting used to pressing the power button right after I answer.
The D2 does come with a proximity light that dims the screen. If you look at the manual it's listed in the diagram specs page as well.

that sounds really great! but does it mean that it's inactivated too? dimming is indeed good, especially in the dark not to have a glowing ear - but i was wondering if, with the dimming, comes the inactivation of the screen too, in order to avoid accidental pressing of buttons with the ear/face.
