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.

Brightnes Control

Is there any way to increase the brightnes on the HTC Diamond.
Or a third part application that can

(that must be the light sensor indeed, you can test it easily : turn off screen in a weel lighted room, put your finger on the light sensor, turn on the screen, wait for the brightness to decrease, and remove your finger : it'll increase anew within a few seconds)
edit : sorry, wrong topic.

Is there a manual way to increase the brightness

Are you serious dude?
Just change your brightness in settings-->system-->power-->backlight.
If you cant change the brightness on your Jewel................we are in trouble
I guess your not visiting the kitchen right?

In the Old HTC touch the Brightness setting was under the Display settings, not the power settings

Well, i had the same problem when i bought the HD. Since i'm a extreme noob and never had a WM device before, it wasn't easy to figure it out. But after playing around with the phone for a couple days i'm able to solve the most 'problems'

Disable auto rotate when keyboard open?

So I managed to drop my phone the other day. I've noticed that since the drop it wont rotate to portrait mode. I'm 99.9% positive that it is a hardware problem. If I hold the phone upright and open the keyboard about 1/4th of an inch it will rotate. So I'm guessing that its a problem within.
So now for the question. On CM5.0.8T4 Is there a way to disable the rotation when the keyboard is out? Basically giving the accelerometer full control of orientation.
Sorry if this is in another place, I've been searching for days now and haven't found any solution.
Thanks.

Anyone? I'm interested in this as well...

how to disable auto rotate screen???

Hi Guys,
I love xperia products specially this xperia z3c.. however, there is one pet peeve that is really starting to irritate me.. everytime I try to disable auto rotate, the screen still rotate.. wtf?? I went to accessibility and check marked the auto rotate.. then I went to display and un-checked auto rotate.. then I went to the notification area and selected portrait.. on all the cases, my screen still rotates from portrait to landscape.. previously, with xperia zr, all I have to do is select portrait INSTEAD of auto rotate in the notification area.. but now, in z3c no matter what I select in the notification area be it portrait or auto rotate, IT AUTO ROTATES... is there a setting I am missing that needs to be checked/unchecked so that this phone stays on portrait?
Any help will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks..
:highfive:

settings> Display> screen rotation> make sure Auto-rotate screen is off.

thanks.. this helped.. i thought I did that one time.. now it works.. however, the notification widget where I can click faster the portrait and auto-rotation does not work now.. but this is no problem.. this is better.. thank you..

tested on my end and the notification widget works fine in both portrait and auto-rotation. try restarting your phone that should solve this issue.

I am intermittently having the same Issue as the OP, except on a Z3 (non C).
Sometime the phone is just not respecting the Auto Rotate Settings, I have smart rotate off (never used it) but at time toggling Auto Rotate from the top bar or in the settings menus does nothing.
I feel it has something to do with docking though, just a hunch.

If you're using a magnetic charger or dock, that might be the problem. Unplug it and then put in Portrait and try again
Sent from my D5833 using XDA Free mobile app

I've got more or less the same problem.
When I connect the magnetic charger the screen will always rotate to landscape and upside down, no matter what I selected for screen rotation.
When I unplug the magnetic charger it will almost never react to the setting of auto-rotation, in 95% of the cases it will always stay in portrait.
By plugging and unplugging the magnetic connector and altering the auto-rotation setting the device (when unplugged) would respond to the setting of the auto-rotation by rotating to portrait or landscape but never upside-down.
Locking and locking the device turned it back to when unplugged always stay in portrait mode and when plugged always rotate.
This problem is only for the home screen, applications react properly to the setting but the homescreen does not.
I could not find all settings.
I can find
Display - When device is rotated
Accessibility - auto-rotate screen
I cannot find anything in notification (for me notification and sound are under the same menu 'Sound & Notification'
When I change the setting in display I can see the setting in accessibility is linked to this one, changing one also changes the other one.
What is normal behaviour and what can I do so my phone behaves and reacts in the normal way

No 180 degree rotation possible

Hi, I recently purchased this phone and yesterday I noticed that the screen cannot be rotated 180 degrees. I've browsed the forum a bit but I haven't found anything specific and at least it doesn't want to work with Android 12 and One UI 4.1. Is there any way to do it, a hidden menu, a command to type in adb...?

you can't have the phone upside down in portrait mode no, but you have landscape rotating to the left or right. nobody should have a use case for turning their phone upside down so that it's displaying the same as it started out.

You ignore the fact that some of us are constantly taking chin selfies
Lol, as far as I know there's no Samsung for those that have their mouths where their ears should be. The extraterrestrial Samsung users are outraged.

Download System UI Tuner from playstore. Developer Zacharee Wander. There is option to "lock screen rotation custom value". And it doesn't mean the lock screen either. It means you can rotate the screen to any way 360° and lock it in that position. Hope that helps.

I have a use case. If my phone is plugged into a long charging cable it is more comfortable to hold upside down so the charge cable is coming out of the top instead of the bottom.

Welcome to XDA
One of the reasons I liked the 3.5mm jack. The C port has lousy placement for wired headphones, etc. It's a menace...
It's counterproductive to charge with the display on if that's why the cable is being used. The mobo power controller will significantly ramp down the charge so there's little or no charging taking place. It also needlessly stresses the battery ie prolonged higher temperatures.
You can use low energy apps like bt and Poweramp as long as the display is off, it will still fast charge.

180 rotation does change the location of audio port, charge port, volume button, power button, camera, flash ......

Not a perfect solution, but a quick one: Rotation Control (A52 with OneUI 5)
I wanted to use the phone as a radio today and the cable should go behind the desk, and not always bend 180° from the underside of the phone. I had to activate "Guard mode".
