Backlight Button Faulty?

[naveedh]

Hi,

Since i bought my Universal as the xda exec ive had two problems.

1. The touch screen stopped working keyboard worked fine. This was solved after a rom upgrade.

2. The backlight button does nothing

Isbnt the backlight button suppose to turn backlight of? if so why doesnt mine?

[tintoy]

dunno about q1 but as for q2, the backlight key only turns on the backlight whe n the screen times out. Astonishly useless by design! You can remap it to use it like any other hardware button tho (with a bit of registry tinkering). Search this forum for how to.

There are 2 type of backlight:

(1) the screen
(2) the keyboard

the backlight of the screen you can turn on and of via the on/off button at the left side with which you turn on/off the device. For turning on and off the backlight without turning on/off the device you must press and hold the button.

the backlight button at the front is only for the keyboard. But this only works, when you set in the settings, that it should not use the light sensor to regulate the light.

I found this a bit strange.

On my Qtek 9000, the backlight button (on device side) does nothing (even if light sensor not used).
The one which does this, is the 'SYM' key on keyboard... :?:

Ok, now I try it out. I was wrong: the light button at the side does absolutely nothing :shock:

so for what is that? how can I put a function on it?

lol, this is totaly true, on my o2 exec i thought i try it by disabling the sensor and it didnt do nothing. Whats it for?

[BlackICE]

Maybe it will have a function in a newer rom?

Hi,

You can change the function of this useless backlight key. You can make it to launch any application you want. Just follow the instructions on the first post of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=34377&highlight=backlight

Enjoy! :D
