keyboard backlight

Am I missing something here? I was pretty sure the last time I had a Mogul the keyboard had a backlight that comes on automatically when you slide it open right? Am I missing a setting or something?

Go to settings and hit the button icon. Then, on the bottom of the screen....choose the backlight tab. If you want the auto sensor engaged the make sure the box is checked for "Enable keyboard backlight auto sensor". If the sensor is engaged the keyboard wont come on in the daytime. I have my auto sensor disabled because it has to be really dark for the sensor to activate the keyboard light.....at least on my mogul.

Happy I could be of help! Ironically, I had that same question not to long ago. The longer you hang around here at PPCGeeks the more you will learn. This is definitely my favorite site!

Also, the keyboard, by design apparently, will not light when the screen backlight is at its lowest setting. ... Which is 180 degrees counterintuitive.
