When I first got my phone the Soft Keys would dim if I was in full screen on the browser or some other applications. I am referring to when they go dim with three little dots. It no longer seems to behave this way. The Soft Keys stay on regardless. Did something change with 4.0.2? This occurs with or without a rom installed.
I can make them dim again if I go into the browser settings and turn full screen off and on, but as soon as I touch a soft key they turn back on for good and will not dim to three little dots again until I go back into Settings and repeat my earlier step. Does my inquiry make sense? Am I messing with an incorrect setting? I also am not referring to the soft keys hiding like in YouTube.
Thanks
must of been in 4.02 then because i'm on 4.02 and the only places that the keys dim are in videos or a slideshow

Cool, thanks. Thought maybe I messed something up when I modded the Soft Keys awhile back. I then went back to stock and saw the issue was still there, but it seems to be a non-issue.

Just upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1, and for whatever reason, if my phone is unlocked and idle, it no longer goes to "sleep." Instead of the backlight turning off like in WM6, the backlight goes full brightness and displays a white screen. Has anyone seen this before? Any workaround/fix?
Thanks!
Sounds like you got the wrong display driver for your phone. What phone and what ROM are you running ?!

I've had this problem before!
It happened when I was playing with the power management settings in the Registry. I found if I then locked my phone (e.g. long press of hang up button), the screen would time out and go completely white on full brightness.
To fix it was easy enough - just change the power management reg keys.
Once I screwed them up soo much I had to do a hard reset so watch out before playing.
Mine has been doing this also, I believe it may have something to do with the Light Config option in CeleTask. Will test more

And what should I change the power management reg keys to?
Could you give more detailed instructions, including which keys to change, and what to change them to?
Thanks!

Yes I believe so too because it only happens when I use the low light option as well.
first off try....
go into power management under settings.
1. backlight time out on battery should not be set to never.
2. backlight time out on AC could but it still will turn off after the time period you have set for the next setting.
3. Display timeout- will turn off the display off completely after the time period set here.
1 and 2 low dim the screen prior to setting on 3
turn lowlight off... it hardly ever works. lol
i tried to search but cant find any good solutionabout this,
how do you turn off the backlight of the keyboard manually? with my delicate fingers i can actually type in tp2 using my fingers, however in a decent light condition, the keyboard backlight automatically turns on sometimes and i cant read the characters on the keyboard (wished the buttons are black)
i tried to turn off the kb backlight autosensor, turns out it manually turns on the backlight, not turning it off.
any ideas?
I would also like to know how to shut off the keyboard back light.
I think it is a waste of battery life sometimes.
Do anyone know how to create some kind of manual switch that would allow me to toggle between having it on (with the auto sensor) and just always off?
I remember having some kind of application for this on my palm centro.
Thanks
Anyone?
The only work around I have found so far is to open the keyboard, then press the power button then press it again, and not touch the keyboard, and the back light will remaind off. I do this so I can watch videos with the keyboard out and the screen tilted.
you can change the timeout in hkcu\controlpanel\backlight\qkeyledtimeout default is 10. maybe you can change it to 0 or atleast 1.
it looks like keylightautosensor might be what you are looking for. you can try em out. soft reset to apply.

That didn't seem to do anything?
Does anyone knows how to do that??
Hey guys so my Tilt 2 has been having an issue when I put it to sleep. It goes to sleep fine, but when I wake it up the screen remains black. The actual device turns on, but the screen stays black. I can still make calls, receive calls, play music, etc. but I have to soft reset the device if I want to be able to see what I am doing.
From what I can tell my problem is different from the normal Sleep of Death issue where the device simply won't wake up.
I've searched through the forums looking for solutions and have tried pretty much everything from doing a hard reset, using different roms, formatting the internal memory, etc. Even after doing all of this, my device still suffers from this issue.
Any insight into my problem would be greatly appreciated!
I assume you've tried a simple reset using the reset button or pulling the battery out and putting it back in?

Yeah every time I the screen goes black I soft reset it in order to get the screen to turn back on. The problem is that the issue persists through soft resets. I currently can't suspend my device because I can't get the screen to turn back on...
hold down the volume down button and then press the reset button (the physical reset button) this should bring you into your bootscreen the multicoloured screen.. if you can get there then you can flash a new rom on your phone... and thats a whole other ball game. It gets a lot of hype as being hard but its really super easy to do if you just follow the directions.
Tilt 2 dark screen solved
With the tilt 2, if the screen does not wakeup, but you can answer the phone, hear music, etc..., it is a malfunctioning light sensor, maybe hardware, or software related (drivers), but it is fixable. Just eliminate all calls for use of the light sensor.
I had this problem and took quite a while to figure it out, as there are several apps that poll the light sensor that cause problems.
First, go to start/settings/system/power/backlight and uncheck the auto adjust backlight option
Second, go to start/settings/personal/buttons/backlight and uncheck the enable keyboard auto backlight sensor.
Last, open advanced config (need to download and install from touchxperience.com, if you do not have it), tab to light sensor and set light sensor polling to disabled.
Now, my phone works normal and will wake up properly from standby like it should. this all seems hardware dependant, as I have in my family 3 of these things and I dropped and broke mine, so bought a new one (4th in the series) and it had the SOD issues, but could restart with softrest. Took me the better part of the day to find a reliable fix, but now all is well again.
Hope this helps other Tilt 2 and similar issues.
Okay, this is really starting to annoy me to hell, On the GT-n7100 only when you'd touch the button area they would light up but the t-mobile version is lighting up no matter what, if I scroll a webpage, move the phone screen to different set of icons it's driving me insane is it bugged? Or the phone like defective?
It should only light up when I tap the capacitive buttons yet any action I take it keeps lighting it up like scrolling a webpage or through the phones apps even. And both phones are set to 1.5 second duration however the T- Mobile version no matter what I touch on the screen lights keep coming on, while N7100 only when I press the capacitive button area. +
Any thoughts?
Completely disagree.
They should come on before you need them - so you can see wth you are trying to press...

galaxy s3 is this way as well. i think its a samsung thing
I would actually like them to stay on the whole time the screen is on. I feel like they time out much to fast.
You can change settings in display settings.

Hm. Good call.
Im well aware of the light key duration thats not the issue. There are no other display settings to control the light keys that I see.
On the n7100 the capacitive buttons would not come on everysingle time I would scroll down on a webpage pull down the notification menu or touch the screen, there is no setting for to get rid of this. The behavior of the buttons is not the same.
The capacitive lights come on everytime you do anything.
Is there away to make it behave like the n7100?
Hi,
I just received my phone, but I am disappointed about the hardware buttons below the screen since they are very very dim as in close to useless. Of course, after a while you know where they are...
anyhow, is it like this with all X800s? Is there a way in the newest CUCUO92 ROM (012s) to change the duration of how long they are lit up?
Cheers
