Hi,
Received my brilliant brilliant kaiser today. Every penny worth an upgrade from trinity apart from a slight brick feeling.
I was wondering if someone knows how to keep QWERTY keyboard lights on all the time while you are using the keyboard. At the moment they stay on for few seconds when keyboard is opened, but turns off later and don't turn on even on pressing keys unless you close and open the keyboard. It would be helpful to type in dark if backlight on keyboard keys stay on as long as keyboard is open.
thanks
heh i use the low tech way, i put my finger over the light sensor
I am wondering the same thing. There is an option for "Automatic keyboard auto sensor" for the backlight under "Settings....Buttons....Backlight" but haven't been able to get it to work. Where is the light sensor? I could possibly go high tech and put tape over it!
Update:
In the Registry, navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER...Control Panel....Backlight....QKeyLedTimeout
and change the default value from 10(seconds) to something high eg. 180 (3 minutes).
This will keep the backlight on for the specified amount of time.

so say you only need the keyboard for 1 min, when you slide it shut does it stay lit for the other 2 min or go off when closed?
One last update....the above registry mod actually will keep the phone button backlights on for the specified time as well as the keyboard backlight. So, this could be a bonus for some. Still haven't found the light sensor on this device I am guessing it is on the keyboard on the left side (tiny hole), but I still haven't been able to activate it. Anybody else had any luck?

It will go off as soon as you close the keyboard

Unticking this option actually fixes the issue... If you DON'T enable the auto-sensor, the light will come back on instantly on every new key press (any key..).
Stretching up the time-out with earlier suggested reg-mod is a nice added bonus...
The sensor is slightly left from the Q-key. A little black dot.
Strange,
I put my finger on top of it, and it did not light the keyboard

Yeah.. my light sensor is iffy... Maybe it is just a bug.. I can be in a totally dark room and they key backlight will not turn on. If i disable the auto sensor the backlight, of course, works as normal.
i think i will have to leave it disabled..
Auto Sensor on p4550
Hello,
I have a kaiser and my auto sensor is not work.
Anyone have auto sensor (for light keyboard) work on his kaiser ?
Thanks.

That is exactly the same problem as I am having. I can't seem to get the keyboard to light up in complete darkness. My other devices never had this problem. The backlight would come on in darkness. Any suggestions?

Most of the time it works for me.. The easiest fix it to simply disable the light sensor. It works just like any other PPC then. If it is misbehaving a reboot will fix it for a while. I haven't actually had any problems for a bit now. I wonder if it has anything to do with the lock password bug? I did disable my lock password and haven't had any problems since.. might just be a coincidence. Wouldn't hurt to try that too just to see.
When i slide the keyboard out the light goes on(nothing wrong here).
Then when i wait a short time the light goes off, but when i press a key again the light doesn't go on again.
I have the HTC wm6.1 rom on my Tytn2.
Are there more people with this issue and is there a fix for it?
anybody???
Do the keys actually work, despite the fact that the light doesn't go on?
read about kaiser keyboard backlight time-out issues...
So I recently discovered a solution for the backlight issue
1. Cook the following backlight.dll into your ROM, just place it in the driver folder of OEM
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HEQSI1PT
2. Set the following registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel]
"LockLevel"=dword:0
The driver is a topaz driver...if the backlight dims, the slidelock won't be activated anymore. If the Slidelock is activated, the backlight will be dimed after 10 seconds. By using the slider, the backlight will turn on again. The only issue I still have...if the backlight is dimed in the slidlock screen...I can not turn on the light by touching the screen.
Does somebody knows a reg key for avoiding that the backlight get dimed when slidlock is activated. It's getting dimed after 5 seconds...even if backlight diming is set to be done after 30 seconds. So there must be another registry key.
I have come back to the TyTN II after a brief flirtation with the Touch HD.
The one thing I hate about it is when you turn it on: why is the screen so dark? Outside, I can hardly see to enter the right password, the original TyTN wasn't like this, so how do I get rid of this "feature"?
I have tried the Kaiser Tweak, but there is nothing obvious there to change the device's behaviour. At least it stops the annoying practice of turning off the screen during a call.
This might sound minor, but for me it is a MAJOR irritant - so any help would be gratefully accepted.
thanks!

Turn the back light up
Map a key with AE so can turn up and down in an instant
thanks for answering - but I don't understand.
How can I turn the backlight up - this is the stage before I have entered the password to get into the thing. After that stage, the backlight is fine. The grid of numbers is dark, and not backlit - why is that?
I don't know what AE is, sorry.

Ah i have no password i imagine it's pre loaded settings so that's why dark, AE Button

the button backlight i can permanently switch on with app "keyboard backlight controller". but works only for button backlight. by very dark light the hardware keyboard light switch on, but on dawn light goes off and i can`t read the characters.
i`ve found in sys/class/leds/kpd_backlight_en/ brighness the value is 0. i set to 1 (all value over 0 works) and save. after save the hardware backlight works permanently, but screen off and on set the value to standard and it works not correctly. i think the light sensor early switch the backlight off.
edit: i've solved the issue with app "tasker". now switch on the hardware keyboard backlight on sliding the keyboard. and soft buttons switch on when display on. the light sensor at this moment disable;-)
