QWERTY Keyoboard Lights ????

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.

[Q] LCD Brightness Up/Down Spontaneously

At random my lcd brightness will go up and down like it's having a seizure. I have tried auto brightness on and off, and with the power saving feature on and off. It's not a bid deal because it usually goes away quickly, but I would like to know if anyone else has it.
here's a video of the problem-

Mine will at times just randomly change itself for no reason and i will have to go back into the menu and adjust it again.
It only happens every once in a while but it is still annoying.
Similar but not the same. Anyone can help us?

You sure that it is not simply the dropdown menu bar at the top? It changes your brightness by keeping your finger on it.

It starts when I'm not even touching the screen. It goes up and down, up and down, et. It's becoming more frequent now. I guess my lcd is dying or something.

same with me. I like to keep my brightness setting to the absolute minimum, however on numerious occassions i find that it has automatically brightned and when i go into the settings the slider is halfway.
I usually notice it after charging the phone, either way it shouldnt happen.

I had the same issue when i have installed the Voodoo lagfix + Voodoo Color.
Without Voodoo color, it was better.

Just want to check that you guys know that
you can adjust brightness using the drop-down status bar, right?
By swiping you finger left/right on the drop-down status bar, you could adjust brightness. (if "automatic brightness adjustment" is off)

I'm positive my lcd is dying. It started with JM1, continued in JPM and JP6. It flickers and goes up/down without any pattern.

What do you mean by flickering? Perhaps the brightness changes in such rapid succession? Try using light sensor test
Dial this number (as if calling someone) *#0589#
Try to block the light sensor with this app running and see if it's just a calibration thing, etc. though I don't know if it is calibrable (or whatever the word is )
PS: AM/OLED (or SAMOLED for that matter) is not a LCD

I've attached a zipped video in the first post.
EDIT: I tried this app when it was doing it, the app didn't respond at all to the changes, it kept reporting "Level 0". Which means it has nothing to do with it and I'm 100% certain this stupid thing is dying. And since I bought an unbranded/unlocked version from ebay, I don't think I can use the warranty. And even if I could, I've heard plenty of horror stories with warranties and support. I would just sell it for parts on ebay.

[Q] Power Widget Brightness Glitch?????

Something strange happened this morning.....
I was tapping the brightness button in the power widget to dim the screen.
The brightness button in the power control widget somehow switched modes.
It now shows an "A" inside the starburst. Automatic?????????? (see attached screen shot) and the brightness is stuck at medium.
And I can no longer change the brightness with the button or the brightness settings.
I can move the brightness slider back and forth and hit OK and the brightness won't change.
Nor can I turn Automatic Brightness on or off (although I don't know if this ever worked... I never used it).
I have no idea how this happened or how to get it back to normal.
?????????????????????

Fixed... with big hammer
I decided to do a factory reset to see if it would fix this... all my stuff is on an SD card and Google will restore all my apps.
This worked... the power widget is back to normal.

Soft key issue

Thanks to Computerfreek274 for Droid Turbo ROM. So far great to use. Only issue is soft keys seem to light inconsistently. No other mods flashed, just straight up Computerfreek274_Unlocked_1.2.6. Any ideas on fix? Thanks in advance.

Seems to be related to adaptive brightness setting for display. If this setting is on, then the soft keys turn off almost immediately. Soft keys stay on as before if the adaptive brightness setting is off. Any way to correct this?

Able to correct with using Lux lite to control brightness

Brightness of touch keys

Is there any way to dim the brightness of the touch keys ("recent apps" and "back" button)? They are far to bright

Well. What I do is to turn off those lights. I think there is not a way to dim the brightness of those buttons (at least with stock roms). I keep it off because I know which buttons are and they only have one specific function: Back & Frequent apps.

Yes I turned them off too. But i think the lights are quite helpful. Sometimes I need some attempts till I hit them in the dark. That's why I would like to have them on, but not so bright that I get blinded.
I'm not using stock roms.
