Make the bottom hardware key lights stay on longer?

**WhiteBlazer01** · #1 (**permalink**) 09-25-2009, 12:34 AM

I like the bottom 4 buttons to stay illuminated longer than 10 seconds - maybe having the same duration as the backlight. How can I do this? Thanks!

Not trying to be a smart butt, but why would you want this?

Valid question... No particular reason, I just like the buttons to be lit when the screen backlight is lit - looks nice. And it's another giveaway that I don't have an iPhone.

i second this. was one of the first things that went through my head when i used the phone for the first time today. was staring (drooling) at the beautiful screen then realized i navigated one page too far, wanted to hit the back button, looked down only to see the lights had turned off. i thought "sure wish those were on longer..." therefore i would like to see a tweak for this as well, gotta be in the registry somewhere. probably won't get it to be a function of the backlight time, but should be able to increase it none the less.

anyone know their way around the reg, possibly give a pointer at where backlight settings might be hiding

I just noticed the slideout keyboard backlight stayed on for approx. 30 sec which was nice. But I really want those bottom keys to stay on longer.

Any ideas or for registry hacks to do this? I like to use the hard buttons to navigate and when I use my Touch Pro in the dark, the bottom lights go out too quickly

I end up trying to feel for the correct button with my finger -- would rather see them lit.

Plus, like the others have suggested, it would look very cool...

many ideas... flash independantly, blink for notifications, events, alarm, receiving calls, etc. assist as a flash light, breathe while charging like tp1. Many ideas if we can learn out to control the leds
