I am using HTC Touch Diamond, it has a LED just above the touch screen in the earpiece... I tried my best to figure out as how and when it functions!!... can anyone help??
Hi!
I also noticed it. But its an light sensor. If you have the "dynamic backlight" turned on, you can test it. Hold your finger over it, and your backlight should become darker.

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.
Hey guys, I know that the Kaiser has a light sensor to tell the keyboard when to light up (at least I think I read that somewhere)... So does anyone know a program that uses this light sensor to adjust the backlight of the screen according to how bright it is outside? I would love it so that when I'm indoors the backlight is dimmer to save battery, but when outside in direct sunlight it gets brighter so I can see it well. Anyone know if this is plausible?
If a program doesn't exist, I'd really like to develop one. However, considering I have no experience, I would need considerable help. If someone is interested in developing this, that would be awesome!

I don't think there are any light sensors on the Kaiser.The keyboard just lights up anytime when you want it, I think there is a setting for that.
to the left of the letter q on the qwerty keyboard there is a sensor that makes the keyboard light up when it is dark
If you press a key and it is dark, the keyboard backlight will invoke, and if its light out and you press the keyboard, the backlight does not invoke.
what dyou mean lights out
the backlight will light up whenever the sensor next to the q senses no light

He said when it's light out, as in when there is a lit environment.
Anyone have any ideas how to tap into that sensor? Or perhaps have the lens of the camera sense light when the keyboard is closed somehow for the backlight? Am I thinking way to hard about this? lol
keyboard light sensor
Turning off light sensor for keyboard:
Start/settings/buttons/backlight tab/uncheck "enable keyboard backlight auto sensor". That's it.

Keyboard Backlight Time-Out
My backlight comes on fine, but no matter how dark it is, it will not stay on for more than a few seconds. So then I have to hit just ANY old key to try and start typing again.
Anyone know how to make the KEYBOARD backlight stay on longer?
Thanks.
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...
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.
Hi, I'm wondering if there is any code I can run to disable the LED at the bottom feather touch keys. My touch had some issues and I had it replaced from a third party service center, which messed up the alignment of the LED and when they turn up, the light goes up to 1/4th of the bottom right screen. Since they are refusing to fix it any further(the last screen they put on wasn't working correctly so had it changed again), I have no option but to either deal with the LED light going up covering 1/4th of the screen or to turn it off. If anyone knows any command for disabling it, that'd be great. I know there are codes to turn off the LED light at the top near sensor, so there must be one for the LED at the bottom underneath feather touch keys.
