SOLVED mods close - dumb keyboard question
 

this is going to sound really dumb considering i've had my tp2 for a month and a half but isn't the keyboard supposed to light up? at first i didn't think anything of it not (i memorized the keyboard fairly quickly so typing in the dark isn't a problem) but i noticed the fn lock and cap lock lights at the top of the keyboard don't light up so that made me wonder about the keys.

answers are appreciated, mocking is acceptable

Re: dumb keyboard question
 

both the fn and caps status light is supposed to light up.

as for your keyboard it turns on when it detects low light settings.. but to answer your question YES it is supposed to turn on.

guess its off to the sprint store for me, just wanted some confirmation, thanks

Re: dumb keyboard question
 

anything light or keyboard related installed?
even anything for notification lights?

Re: dumb keyboard question
 

no i haven't installed anything to affect notifications, with exception of a few games that i've installed its still stock, all i've changed in settings are ringtones

am going to back everything up and dump it tonight and see what happens tho

Re: dumb keyboard question
 

Look into:

Start > Settings > Personal > Buttons > Backlight tab > Enable keyboard backlight auto sensor.

Make sure it's checked.

Hope that helps!!!

Re: dumb keyboard question
 

yup still checked, thanks tho

Re: dumb keyboard question
 

so i did a master reset and now everything works, my problem is i don't remember installing anything that's why i thought it was a hardware problem not software.
anyway, thanks everyone for the help!

Re: SOLVED mods close - dumb keyboard question
 

do you have a custom rom on your phone? and this just happened randomly?

Re: SOLVED mods close - dumb keyboard question
 

no it was all stock, i may have installed something when i very first got it but i don't remember anymore, what i do remember is never having the keyboard light up but i didn't think about it until i noticed the cap and fn indicators weren't lighting up so i thought there might have been something wrong hardware wise but it had to have been something installed after the fact because a hard reset cleaned it right up

Re: SOLVED mods close - dumb keyboard question
 

wow that sounds really strange. sounds like that could have been a driver issue, but i dont see what could have caused that. glad you got it fixed though. this time remember what you installed so if it happens again you will know what caused it.

actually going through my folder of cabs on my storage card i may have found it. i think i installed a "led fix" of some sort that was actually intended for a Mighty ROM. I have no idea why i installed it or what it was for but that cab was probably just drivers that threw off the stock rom

Re: SOLVED mods close - dumb keyboard question
 

thats what i was thinking it would be.
also, congrats on your recent vip status!

Re: SOLVED mods close - dumb keyboard question
 

it made sense that that was the problem but i don't remember ever running that cab

and thanks!
