There has to be a reg edit, the ones for the mogul dont work and this damn thing only stay on for like 7 seconds, pretty annoying to have to keep pressing the keyboard to get it to light back up, help
This would be nice. If any experts know of a fix we'd all appreciate it.
I have been trying to figure this out since 2 days ago. Any of the tweaks in the raphael forum do not work on the Sprint version of this phone. I will let you know if I figure this out. Otherwise if any one else figures this out please post it.
Sprint really basterdized this phone. To bad to (I still like it though), The GSM version has somemore features, and many of the users have already figured these issues out.

From what I read in other forums, they believe it's not a software fixable thing, but tied directly to the hardware. I don't understand anything of what that means, but I hope the gurus will figure something out.
The few seconds this keyboard stays lit is just ridiculous!
hey, try the Advaced Configuratio tool 3.2.
Under Input\Keyboard backlight timeout: default 10 sec.
I hope this tweak can help you
i have advance config and i set the timeout to 2 minutes.. the keyboard still goes off within 10 seconds... so that tweak in advance config does not solve it...
Can Anybody figure this out. This is driving me crazy. a couple of folks in the PPCGeeks forum said that maybe a driver needs to be written for the Sprint TP Back light Issue.
I would donate to the cause. This is very annoying.
yea i tried changing the registry keys for pervious WM devices and even thoug it registers the change its still the same very annoying
Yea, that and the software keyboard comming up ALL the frik time when you dont want it.
Nullkeyboard doesn't work to fix that anymore either. it brings up a big box.
It's a shame to find this thread. I've been searching the goggle all night and morning for a solution.
God I hate Sprint.
I found HKCU/ControlPanel/Backlight/QKeyLedTimeout in the registry and the default value was 10.. So I changed it to 20 first and it didnt do anything.. Tried to change it to 0 which normally means no timeout but that also didnt do anything.. So not sure what that Value is for..
I also did a search for 10 in the whole registry and didnt find anything that would even seem like a timeout on the keyboard.. So not sure where to go from here.. Anyone else find anything that works?
Currently there are no hacks/tweaks regarding the keyboard backlight.
It is frustrating, but they think it's written into a DLL file. Give them a bit of time, they will find it.
Just an FYI, most advanced config tweaks do not work at all.
They have not recommended it at all.
Yeah advanced config is a joke at the moment.... Someone needs to releases a touch pro specific one... it will be awhile yet prob though....
and sarin is absolutely correct... The KB backlight is Driver Based so that one will likely take quite a while too
I just press ctrl to get it back up, but its still frustrating.
Has anyone made any progress on this issue?
i had been trying to change some registry values to remedy the light timeout and now my KB lights do not turn on when i slide out the KB. if i press a button they will turn on.
**edit**
i just slid the KB in and out about 5 times in a row and now it works as it used to. i wonder how that happened??
Has anyone found a fix for this yet?
Same Thing
I have VZW and couldn't fix it either. Tried the Advance Config and that option didnt even work either. I would love to figure this out!
Thought I'd resurect this thread and ask if anything has been found that can extend the kb light. I tried ACT like the rest of you and while it worked beautifully on my gsm TP it of course works not on my sprint. I did notice that "HD tweaks" has a few useful tweaks that do work. Alas, no kb light function there of course since HD non physical.Lol. Seriously tho , is it wm or HTC that does not give us the option to change this? I can't think of anyone being of sane mind that would find a 7 sec timeout a good thing.
EDIT: I found the neukblight app and it is working well and getting the job done. Probably why this thread died, you all had already found it I suppose. Lol.

Hi all, I was just wondering if there are any apps that can permanently change the pixel density on the Wildfire that you can recommend?
I'm using LCD Density Changer atm which says it does this by writing to system, but despite having Superuser it just doesn't. I'm running CM7 nightly 51, although that's probably not got much to do with it.
Thanks
System Write requires S-OFF, which isn't available on the Wildfire yet (Or, you can get it if you know someone having an XTC Clip ).
So, I guess permanent pixel density is not yet achievable.
Ah, sadly not fortunate enough to have/know someone who has/afford an XTC clip just yet... so it's a no go
Still, thanks for the response

Slightly off topic, but i've always wondered what the use of s-off is since everything that u can do with s-off, u can do without s-off... (except that the phone has to be in recovery, but even with s-off most of the good stuff requires a reboot a anyway)
i suppose some of the fastboot hacks.... hmmmm
EDIT: never mind, now that i think about it there are a lot of uses
Anyone have an issue with their touchscreen where there is a "dead spot"? I don't know how to describe it other than that. There is a spot if I touch it, nothing happens. It is right where the Accept and Download button is on the market in portrait orientation. It seems to be all the way across the screen in a horizontal line. Pixels and color are not affected just the touch effect. If i reboot, it goes away for a while. Switching ROMs makes no difference, happens on every one I have tried though, so it seems to be a hardware issue. Any help would be great.

If you had searched the forums, you would have come across this, which will solve your problem.
Also, it's not flashable so unzip it and put the apk on your phone, install it, then run.

Try to find the HTC Calibrate.apk and push it to System/Apps... It'll Definitely Help!

I ran the advanced search and couldn't find anything for the E3D. But thanks for the help and for the hand-slap dude.

Really? After about 1.4 seconds I had 4 touchscreen issue threads (including this one.) pop up after searching "touchscreen issue" in the "search this forum" bar. Did you fix your problem?
No go.
Well the HTC Calibrate app did not work. I must say that it did help for sure, but the same dead spot issue keeps happening. OK, so now I have begun to look at replacement parts on Ebay. So just to get this straight, it is the digitizer/front glass assembly that registers touch, correct? As I said, there are no missing pixels or colors, so does that rule out the LCD? Or should I but both to be on the safe side? I really want this issue done and over with, so help me get this thing taken care of guys. Thanks to all you guys for the help. Also, if anyone has a digitizer and LCD assembly for a good price, let me know.
I had the same issue where the bottom quarter of my e3d hboot 1.5 didn't work I didn't have insurance so I took it in and the sprint manager said I wasnt the only one with the issue it's a htc issue I tried the calibration on different roms bit it would only give you calibration on the top half of the screen, spent swapped it out and I got a new e3d with hboot 1.5 of course but at least the touch screen is working.....hoped that helped you out cuz I searched everywhere and couldn't find a solution.
I was toying with that idea. Will the "watermark" from unlocking a 1.50 hboot version be a problem? Obviously I need to unroot. And also, I bought this phone from an individual just a few weeks ago after I got my first one stolen, will this be a problem? Any other thoughts on taking it back to sprint?
Yeah, it is really weird, it is exactly where the "Accept & Download" button is when making a market purchase. So, yeah it sucks, I have to rotate it horizontal every time I want to buy something
I have been having lots of touchscreen issues as well. Tried lots of different roms and kernels but no luck. Someone suggested formatting the SD card. I haven't had access to a computer so i just removed the card about an hour ago to test and so far i haven't had any issues.

Hi,
Have just bought the Xperia S and is still under warranty, so don't want to tamper by unlocking the bootloader yet, not for a couple of months at least. Anyways I'm quite happy with the stock ROM, bloatware and all!!
However, the only thing I'm unhappy about, is the LCD density. I'm used to a value of 160 (on my old warhorse HTC HD2 with TyphooN_CM7_v3.7.0-MAGLDR - Android 2.3.7). Now, I know it's a silly question, but is there ANY way I can alter the LCD Density without rooting it??
Thanks,
JK

Not even with root is it working I think

Some of my friends use it with great success.
Not with out root, but i messed about with that setting myself and changing it messes things up.
Things like the text/images on some menus dont fit right anymore or are off the bottom of the screen.
Its best to leave it as it is really

What value are you trying it at? Try 220 or 160 (I'm not sure of this value on the XS - TREAD CAREFULLY). My HTC had some problems, including unavailability of Google Play downloads, but a value of 160 did the trick.

Thanks, but I wanted some more screen real estate!
Default Density in buid.prop is 320 if i change it to 300 things are to small to fill the screen and if i go up to 330 things are to big to fit on the screen.

ICS should offer the ability to change font size, which is probably preferable to changing the screen density - with the problems with how other things fit (or don't fit) the screen.
Does anyone use the BBC News widget/app? For some reason on all Xperia models, I only get one line of text on headlines. On other models, you get two. It's clearly a fault of the app, but suggests an issue with the font Sony (Ericsson) uses. Again, I hope that ICS might fix this with the Roboto font.

Yes, I do too, incidentally. I had not noticed this until I read your post.

I think I'll leave things as they are and wait for ICS. Could you please post some screenshots showing how it looks when you change the density? Just curious.

Im new into LG, but I used to run this on my Note 4 all day, with no difference at all, it will bring a positive impact on battery life as the display will push nearly half of pixels, and to be honest, we wont notice the difference on daily basis, now the $1 million question...
Does anyone knows a successful way to change the screen resolution from QHD to FHD on the LG V10???
As always any help will be much appreciate :fingers-crossed:

Thank you, yeah i knew about this app, but nothing, it doesnt work, my guess is, it has to do something with the "second screen" which we already know is only one
adb shell wm size 1920x1080 doesn't work either, don't try it
Hopefully we'll get a fix soon!
