Hey, i recently hard resetted my device and i am having an issue with my keyboard. The backlight turns off after 30 seconds(adjustable), but shouldn't it turn back on when i type(it just stays off)? I cant seem to find the setting for that... and yes, it did turn on the light before the hard reset.
*edit*
fixed it -> buttons -> uncheck enable backlight autosensor

Hi everyone,
I just switched from the Touch to the Kaiser and have a problem with the device not going into powersave mode. I am NOT talking about the backlight settings but the power settings that turns off the device after x min of inactivity. The device never turns off for some reason.
This was working fine on the Touch. Is this a common problem on the Kaiser ?
Thanks

You don't mention what settings you have it set to. When you tap the battery icon (top bar) and then "advanced", are there time limits set?
If there are - untick the boxes and exit the screen "OK"
Then return to the screen and tick the boxes again and enter time limits exit with "OK"
Personally I always turn to standby manually. WM5/6 often seems to prefer this. WM5 in particular has a habit of not coming out of standby if it goes to standby by itself. The Kaiser seems MUCH more tolerant of this but I just got the habit of doing it manually.

My backlight settings are not set and my Power settings are as follows:
Turn off device if not used for "1 min" is SET for batt power and NOT SET for external power.
I will try unchecking everything and rechecking to see if that helps.
Thanks,
BTW, TouchFlo scrolling is horrible on the Kaiser compared to the Touch especially in the Internet browser. Surprising for a device with so much more memory and horsepower over the Touch...
i had a same problem with my kaiser... Try to hard reset u phone after hard reset you wont see any problem...
Thanks for the suggestions..
I did a hard reset and the problem remains. It is very strange because if I manually power of the phone it does wake up when I call comes in bit stays on after that.
During a call however the screen goes off !!!
I did the recommended reg hack to stop the screen from blacking out during a call but it still does it.
Has there been any updates to the original (HTC) firmware since release ?
Thanks again.
check this:
\HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall
from "1" to "0" will leave the screen on long enough for voicemail use (probably falling back to the backlight/power settings)...

This just started happening:
I restart my tilt. I push the power button and the display brightness gets brighter but the device does not turn off. I push it again, the device turns off but then I can't get it to turn back on without soft resetting! What the crap??!!
Any clue what is going on?
Thanks!

I am just a n00b, but it sounds like your power button got mapped to your brightness control somehow, and when the screen goes black, the device is not off, just brightness set to 0. When you soft reset, the unit just sets back to default. I am not proficient in mapping the buttons, but a quick search on the forum should help. I know that there are a lot of threads having to do with mapping keys.
Hi
I experience the same problem and strange enough after I downloaded a patch released by HTC for potential issue with blue tooth and the phone.
A soft reset does not solve the problem, instead a Sync with the PC (even not a full one) cure it for a period of 2-3 days.
I have the impression that it is more complicated than just a registry issue. For instance I can not run the TOM TOM any more.
The HTC support only suggested a hard reset that I did but for complicated reasons I was forced to restore a back up I had.
So I am still affected by this problem.
I did a hard reset and used spb backup to restore everything to the day prior. The last thing I remember installing was s2u2 0.99c which seems that it would mess with how the device responds to the power button. I'm going to post over there and see if there is a chance it was the culprit.

You have to disable directdraw in s2u2.

It was and is disabled at least according to s2u2 settings. I did notice that for me in 0.99c DPAD was enabled but did not work.
Hi guys.
I'm fed up of having no backlight on the password screen, when using the lock function.
When i turn the kaiser on, it doesnt light up, until i type in the pin code and get back to the today screen, in the dark its a joke trying to see thescreen.
Any ideas?
Thanks
+1. This is a pain also when out in the sun. Is there any reg key or anything that as soon as you touch the 'Unlock' or 'Password' softkey you get the backlight on?
Function As Designed.
The Backlight turns off when the Phone is Locked. It goes to "sleep."
Try This. Start -> Settings -> Keylock -> "Do not Lock Keys" Then OK Lock your Device and Hit The OK or Green Phone Button and see if it lights up.
doesn't work.
i had the same problem (i had played wih "onlock" "auto lock" apps
well there is somewhere a reg key for the backlight and the duration how long the backlight should be on if phone is on lock mode and somebody touc the screen ....
hmm - maybe i found somewhere the reg key.

Hi, please forgive me for asking such a dumb question. I imagine my problem is not that uncommon. By default, the phone turns off back light if I don't touch any key for 30 seconds (feels like shorter than that). Anyway, I dial in to check my voicemail. Due to the length of the message, the back light turns off. It looks like there is no key other than the power button can bring the screen back. Sometimes, I have to press the power button a couple of times before the screen comes back, then when I try to delete the message (by pressing 7) sometimes I don't even see the keypad any more. It's just a bit of hassle. Can you tell me how you would do it?
thanks very much!
I'm not sure if there's an option for the phone not to switch the backlight off and/or go to sleep while in a phone call.
If you want to control the duration before the phone switches off the backlight or goes to sleep, you will have to change the backlight or power settings ujnder Settings -> System.
didn't know when and how it was set at 10 sec backlight

Thanks! I went into Settings -> System -> backlight and realized that it was set to was set at 10 sec on battery. I don't know when it got changed. Reset it back to 30 sec. should be better now. Changed the power to turn off after 3 min, too.
The headline says it all, this morning it was working and i decided to turn off backlight and turn on the turn off screen option to 40 sec. and now the screen doesnt work and only the buttons and their blacklights.
nevermind screen does work but its really buggy, like a simple press would cause it to scroll a bit down but when i let it go it goes back to its previous location, like its stuck or something. I have been trying to flash it again but i cant get into the activesync option on the phone.
May i suggest a Hard Reset? Returning to factory settings could be a solution...
