Keyboard Light

[thesfactor]

My keyboard light goes off after a few seconds of inactivity and then I'm groping in the dark to find the right key and have to hit the DEL key before I get back on track. Anyone else have the same problem?

I've posted a new thread about this too a little while back. Also have searched but it seems that no one knows how to change this.

What about Advanced Configuration, or Spb Tips and Tricks, or *trying* PPC6700 tweak program, and see if it works?
I know that with Spb and 6700. you can change this behavior on the 6700, so if it is the same registry, just install the Spb program to storage card, and report back.

The registry edit that seemed to have worked for a bunch of WinMo devices doesn't work on the Pro. I just tried it. The default is 10 in the registry but the backlight on the Pro lasts only 7 seconds. I might he a hardware timer instead of a software one.

This is the original location of the registry key:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout

Yeah, I have this posted in another KB Light thread on the site...I reported it does not work, along with the other entries in that key.

If someone could figure this out I think I'd be 100% satisfied with this phone. Well, 99%. Calendar opening with month view is the other thing I'm hoping someone will find a fix for.
