Hello all
I own the O2 star (Niki) since a few days and i like this phone as i like this forum and i wanna excuse me for my horrible english
One question to Niki: Is there a way to increase the time of keyboard backlight? The keyboard on my Niki gets too fast dark.
Hoping for answers and with best greetings
Cressari
don't really know how but i always just press the alt button, the one on the bottom left and it brings the light back without opening any apps or changing text.
Schap's Advanced Config has the setting -> CLICK!
Worked for me
which doesn't work on the dual
I was curious cause Schaps and installed it anyway. I could install and the program runs but the changes seem not to take place. Anyway thanks for your answers

My new HTC S740 is excellent except for one thing - the keypad backlight goes out after only 15 seconds. Very irritating in the dark.
I've looked for kb_light_timeout in hklm/software/htc/keypad but this does not exist.
I've found keylight timeout and qkeyledtimeout in hkcu/control panel/backlight which looks like the right place but altering values and rebooting makes no difference.
I've also looked in hklm/drivers/builtin/keylight and keypad.
I feel I'm very close. Can anyone help?
Yes Its most annoying as well as fact that only numbers or keys round circular button light seperately. Look forward to someone cracking it. Otherwise an excellent phone.
I agree, this is very annoying.
So theres no fix for this issue? To bad no ACT for this phone. An awesome phone, just wm standard gets so little love it seems.
I did some research today and he're the results:
1. This is far of to be a new issue. First complaints about the keyboard backlight timeout you can find under Qtek models...
2. Apparently, they were just few (2-3?) HTC models supporting a registry entry included in WM hkcu/control panel/backlight/QKeyLedTimeout - Rose definitely doesn't
3. The issue could be a case of WM 6.1 limitation - Rose has in fact three keyboard backlight arrays with separate light managements (soft keys, numeric, QWERTY - try to use them simultaneusly and you will see - their timing is independent on each other) and I've found some extra HTC registry entries concerning power management confirming a bit non-standard settings. Unluckily, nothing useful there for the kb backlights.
Sorry, based on my experiments, I can advice you only one very strange way how to overcome it for now: Limit the display timeout to the same 10 seconds as the keyboard has. At least, first press of any key will become inactive and just light-up both display and keyboard. Until display works, all keys are still active even the keybord backlight is off.
Nevertheless, any opposite finding will be appreciated...
Thank you for your investigation
I have a new s743 and this is the exact problem I came searching for fix for!
Too bad - it really is a sweet phone.

To me this is a winmo thing. I don't understand why this option isn't included from the factory. It is a plain "NO BRAINER"! It's been this way on all my previous devices whether pro or standard. The diff being the pro os has wonderful tweaks and various cabs one can install to set the time out. What we need is to get some tweaking guru to set up something like ACT for standard. Problem is so little love for the standard os. The screens are to small anyway for my taste. I'll just stick to pro, the tweaks are better.
Well, i set the display timeout on my device to 5 seconds. Backlight of the qwerty and numeric keypads went off after 5 seconds.
The softkeys remained lit till 10 seconds was up.
Hey Ive seen issues with people having trouble with the distribution of LEDs on the keyboard with not seeing keys and others to bright and thats not me haha. I was wondering though if anybody knew a registry hack or something that would let the backlight on the keyboard stay on longer than 5 seconds? That is the biggest annoyance of this phone that ive seen so far.

Do a search for a utility called Advanced Config, it has a setting to change the backlight timeout, among a lot of other things. You'll need to have the ARM4i version of ppc .NET 3.5 installed also.
BEWARE: Use the tool at your own risk. Don't turn menu animations and start menu animations on, as it has caused my start menu to go really wonky (all the colors are jumbled and its impossible to read) Turning this off made it behave as expected. Just a warning
Hey thanks man. I didnt even know that setting was in advanced config and ive used since the mogul lol.
Doesnt work
I have tried the tweak in advanced config and nothing changed, has anyone else had luck with this?

This is one of the most annoying things about the TP. Anytime you pause for 5 seconds the keyboard backlight goes off! Grrr!
No kidding. I completely disabled the light sensor on my P4000, it was always on as long as the slider was open. I even watched an hour long episode of top gear while I sat in a Mazda dealership while having an oilchange done on my car.
I too have been equally frustrated with this. With no solution in sight, I think I might have thought of a program that could save our sanity. The only problem is that i've only THOUGHT of it and it doesn't exist yet. I've started a thread in the 'Development and Hacking' section.

Hello,
I do write many many on phone, but don't want use qwerty keyboard. So, I will use numeric keyboard. Is it suitable for someone who writes much?
Thanks for any answer,
RA
I mostly use the numeric (for SMS etc) and I don't have any problems until now. However if you dont need the keyboard why dont you look for another (maybe smaller) phone?

Thats the problem...HTC stop produce smartphones with numeric keyboards and NON-touch screen. That's a pity. There is only S740 and HTC Snap. I don't know why the go like this. Writing with numeric keypad with T9 is 1. Quicker 2. More comfortable (I can use only one hand). That's a pity...
RA
Well, you can write pretty easily with the numerical. At least I don't have a problem. When I dont have time (or a second hand available) I always use the numerical.
The only thing I dont know is its quality. I have the phone for about 3 months now, so it's too early to tell you if any problems with the keys arise.
The Keypad is not very robust... it squaks and requires really hard presses as the phone gets older..
What i don't like about the numeric keypad is it's surface, which does not differ at all underneath the "joystick". That forces you to look at your fingers while writing (or am I too unsensitive), cause you can't determine if your fingers are on the key or between two keys (you really don't feel a difference at all, except that it gives "double haptic feedback" when you have pressed and when its too late cause then you already made two instead of one input ) if you don't ALWAYS LOOK AT THE NUMERIC KEYPAD.
Perhaps I just need some more excercise to intuitively press the keys correctly without looking (which was no problem btw with other phones that have little bars on the keys or a space between the keys).
I like the haptic feedback btw. If you press a key correctly, it nicely snaps.
Thanks to all!
I want to thank you all for answers. It was very important for me!
RA
yes !! type seams heavy . like htc tytn2 official rom . like htc diamond offial rom !! i worked with those .
My main problem is that the two keys for the calls are way way too small. OK they are somewhat higher but they are small. And that wouldnt be a big problem if you use a handsfree, but one of them is used for locking the keyboard and is annoying at times (I have to use the 2-key combo to lock the keys)
Did you try Danny Baumann's Automac Keylock? It's the best way for locking keyboard
Best greetings,

Hi,
Does anyone know how to disable the haptic feedback on the bottom three buttons (Back, Home, Search)?
Also, does any-one know how to change the settings/stop the screensaver (with date, etc.) appearing all the time?
I don't believe there is a way to get rid of the haptic feedback on the capacitive buttons. Maybe with a dev unlocked device.
To change the lock screen settings go into Settings->Lock&Wallpaper then change the time out to what you please.
Thanks for letting me know. Real shame, as I know it's only a little thing but it does annoy me. Regarding the lock and wall paper. I wish there was a way to turn off the feature forcing me to swipe up on the screen every time I turn the screen on. Another annoying feature. Why doesn't it just take me to the main screen?
I believe lock screens are standard on all smartphones with the exception of Nokia as they have the physical button to do that. You could request an app that disables it but I would find it extremely annoying as I accidentally press the screen unlock quite a bit when in my jeans.
haptic feedback
Hello! A while ago I purchased a Mozart 7 phone, it was a used phone, not new, not sealed in the box!
So, it has reached my hands with a deepshining ROM, 4.0 if my memory is right!
Later I´ve updated it to the 6.0 version of the deepshinig ROM!
I´ve, somehow managed to disable the haptic feedback on the "back" button as well as on the "Search" button.
It was not a stock available option, but trought some tweaking software I disabled it!
Now I´ve got a windows phone 7.8 ROM, made for mozart by ansar, available here on XDA, and I´ve looked everywhere on the phone and on the tweaking software, and I can´t find the option to disable haptic feedback!
So I know it´s possible, cause I had it done, but now, dont know how to do it again!
HELP!!!
I have installed some tweaking software, I found in the Deepshining ROM 6.0:
"Advanced Configuration"
"WPH Tweaks"
"WP7 Root Tools"
But, so far, I haven´t made it !
I´m Portuguese, from Portugal so... sorry for my poor English!
Hi guys,
I just flashed android 10 on my oneplus 3 via Havoc v3.4.
I was wondering, whether somebody were able to help me with a kind of special problem.
So I'm using my home button to put the phone to sleep by long pressing it. This can be set in the phone settings. so far so good.
But now on android 10 the duration of said long press seems to be unnecessarily long, like over a second. Thats really annoying, when you just want to put your phone away and have to keep your finger on that capacity button for that extra amount of time.
So I was wondering, whether there might be a relatively simple way of tweaking the build.prop or something, to change the duration of said time_out ?
I already tried the hold/delay in the google settings, but that's just for touch inputs on the screen.
Also the forum search didn't pop up any usefull results.
Thanks so far!
