Hi everybody,
Question: I'd like the backlight from the keyboard to be always on when loading, or most ideally: to have manual control over it. Right now the only control there is, is the setting 'Light Sensor Enable', but this turns it only on for some period of time. Usefull to save batterypower, but when on AC (like at night in the car) I really find it annoying to have to press whatever button in order to get the keyboard lit.
Anyone knows a solution for this, or can write a small program to handle it? Or change values via Regedit?
Found another thread here about keyboard backlight, but there it didn't work at all.

I like to read in bed and often my wife falls asleep before I do. I can dim the screen without any trouble, but any time a physical control is activated (trackball, volume rocker, etc) the lights in the lower portion of the phone where the controls are light up REALLY bright.
Is there a setting or app to shut it off?
Are you talking about the keys?

Hi,
Go to Settings > Sound and Display > Notification Flash.
You can disable the trackball flash for certain notifications or you can disable them all and have the trackball flash disabled completely.

But he means the keys' lights. Will this also turn that off?? I know the title of the thread is a bit misleading
Turning the trackball notification off seems to stop the screen and button lights from coming on.
I've just disable the trackball notification for text messages, set my phone in standby and sent myself a text from another phone. The notification sound played but nothing at all lit up on the phone.
Disabling the notifications don't seem to have an effect. Every time I touch the trackball or any other button, the light right up
I also find the backlight of the keys on HTC hero pretty annoying. I can't believe that it's impossible to disable that damn light. There are only 6 buttons and trackball, are they really think that we aren't capable to use them properly?
I don't see what the problem is.
And my trackball doesn't actually light up unless I get a notification of some sort.
Just pressing any button doesn't make it light up at all.
So what exactly is the problem?

I don't know about European Hero, but on the Sprint's one, any time you're pressing a key or the trackball, backlight lightens up. It's damn annoying, and I don't know how to get rid of it.
First of all, I'm not a vampire. I don't often use my phone in the dark. And besides, there is always enough of ambient light from the screen.
So. My questions to HTC guys.
- Why the damn, stupid light?
- How could we disable it?
- And where is our firmware update?
The light is extremly nice :-D I love it, when you are in some loud places and your phone is not in your pocket you can see it light up :-D
If you don´t want that, just downgrade to a 1.8 firmware; there is a bug that the trackball won´t light up, well the firmware is freaking slow though.
BTW: An option to disable the light would be cool (there could be some scenarios where it´s not good to light up).

So, I'd have assumed that this is the software issue not hardware.
Now I'm sure. So it could be disabled somehow.
But how?

Thats one of the things I like about the Sprint Hero. I wish my Telus Hero Trackball would light up every time it was touched. It is an easy way to light up the buttons in the dark.
I'd like an app or setting to automatically dim the screen (backlight 0) when the phone is idle for a few seconds before dimming the screen. I use Tasker to disable screenlock during cradle usage, and yet I can't find a way to dim the screen when idle to reduce battery usage and improve the charging speed.
Any help? I couldn't find anything with search.
You can either download a app/widget off the market to control that. Or use the built in widget power center by holding on the home screen and selecting widgets. They at the bottom pick and drag the power center to your home screen and you can control how long you want the phone to idle, brightness set to either auto,full,half. Also there is a disable wifi toggle and others.

i've had trouble locating a good app
more google searching with no results. Plenty of results on android phones with asking how to BLOCK auto dim. However, for someone looking to set the dim timeout on a galaxy note, nothing. I can't find anything in the settings and Tasker doesn't show an option either.
Any other ideas?
The app Screen Off and Lock offers the option to turn your screen off with just one touch or - if you have a custom launcher - with a specific gestures.
One cool feature is the "TV-Off-Animation" which you can see in this video:
I thought this was cool, so I downloaded the app and made all the settings.
The issue with the S3 is, that when you turn off the screen with a gesture or a widget, the screen turns off for half a second and than the lockscreen pops up...
Do anyone have a solution?
push...
I don't have a permanent solution, but i find turning off S-voice for wake up device helps, the double switch off as i like to call it still happens but not as much.
Another success i had was switching everything off the home screen so its blank, This fixed the issue until i pressed the power button once to switch off the screen then the issue came back.
I used a similar app called lock screen but the issue remains, actually the screen off and lock app seems to be better because of the delay it has with different animations.
It seems to be an issue with ICS 4.0.4.... So we have to wait
Does this work with the physical power button?
Nope...
Hi everyone ,
I've got the chinese Find X 256Gb (PAHM00) and there are issues with the 'curved panoramic light'.
If somebody is calling me, the screen lights up, showing the number and the 'curved panoramic light' lights up too.
But the main problems are the messages and notifications. If my phone lays down for a while (standby) and i recieve a message, the screen lights up showing the message on a banner and turns off after a few seconds, no 'curved panoramic light'. I tried several different settings/options, but there are always only two results: 1. as mentioned above, 2. the screen stays black and the phone just rings, no 'curved panoramic light'.
One time, the phone was in my pocket and i recieved a message, I immediately pulled it out, the screen was black and the 'curved panoramic light' lit up, but only two times. I can't reproduce this.
What's wrong with my phone? I even did a factory-reset, but without positive results.
Does anybody have the same problems or a solution?
Thanks.
@Oppo-newbie
Settings --> Smart & Convenient --> Gesture & Motion --> Turn off "Screen-off Gestures"
This option is already turned off. The 'Raise to Turn On Screen' is off too.

Panoramic ligth does work here, but only 2 times. I believe that's normal. So don't expect it to keep flashing, it's just 2 times and that's it.. (Probably would kill the battery if it kept flashing.
No, Oppo says: 'When someone is calling or there are new notifications that just came in, the curved edges will light up, continuously.' ( I can't put in the Oppo link ) . On the website, they also say, that the curved light doesn't work if 'Turn On Screen Notifications' is enabled and I think that this is my problem, but I don't have this setting in my menu.
Same question i want to ask.
Any idea how to keep the light flashing until i read the message?
hope they fix Light Options...
I’ve only ever seen 2x for notifications and infinite for calls. I think you’re experiencing the feature exactly as designed
Same here. Could you fix it? I mean, if this is how it's supposed to work , it's pointless.

As for now, this feature is ridiculous. I couldn't find a solution. Hopping Oppo will fix it with an update.
By the way: can anyone tell, if it is the same for the 'global' version?
The Edge panoramic light is working like i had hoped it would. I receive the same problem as well. If anyone know which exact method to have the settings too, that would help greatly as I'm about to loose my mind with this phone and its mysterious operational system.

are you saying if you have lock screen magazine on it will work more effectively, please clarify thanks .
Mine works completely fine. Have global version CPH1871EX.
I have the screen clock on standby active and also the lockscreen magazine.
Also please check if the Turn on Screen for Notifications in set to OFF in the Notifications & Status Bar settings. Might be the reason why your display switches on instead of showcasing the panaromic notification light. BTW the notification light comes only twice over the edges and not more.
Here, I got it working after hours of try and error. Actually, it was a theme issue for me. First of all I turned off "Turn on screen for notifications" option in "Notification and statusbar" menu. This is what I did next:
0. Set lockscreen from the default theme
1. Turn on Lockscreen Magazine
2. Click on a like button, read a story
3. Turn off Lockscreen Magazine
4. Open Themes -> me -> my wallpapers
5. Set any wallpaper as lockscreen one
