huh, i always thought it the other way around. i have always left it unchecked thinking that checking it would enable the auto kb backlight feature. when i say mysterious it wouldnt happen all the time, whether in no light or light but at random. ill check box it and see what happens. thanks

for the poster that wants to auto rotate...another solution would be to use the rotate screen app in rom and even linking it to a hardware button via kb config in rom. it wont be auto but when ever i want landscape with out kb open i long press my back key and put in landscape, vise versus for opposite
