Slide out Keyboard should turn on Keys lights... any Hack?

I'd like my keyboard lights to turn on when I slide it out... a lot of times I need to write something in a dim light or while driving, so I have to press any key just to turn on keyboard light, then press backspace and begin writing... I'm sure there is a "civilized way" to do it... anybody knows?

Start - settings - buttons - backlight - Uncheck enable keyboard backlight auto sensor

wow thanks bro.

That doesn't work for me...
Keys only light when pressed regardless of that setting.

FWIW, this is the way it's always worked (even under WM5, which is why this doesn't belong in this forum, btw). Unchecking "enable keyboard backlight auto sensor" only forces the keyboard light on under ANY lighting circumstances. With it unchecked, KB only lights in a dark environment.
You still need to press a key, regardless. Get used to the placement of the Shift key ... very useful for this.
Again, this has been hashed and rehashed on these forums for many months. A little reading never hurt anyone, and you'd probably find your answers faster, without making so many Sr. Members angry.

Power off backlight?

Hi!
I am looking for tweak or application which turns off backlight - not just dim the display to lower level after some time.
I want to completely turn off backlight to 0% and when the screen is tapped the backlight is on again.
Any solution for this?

ya core player does that...even tcmp player

If in Setup>Power supply>Advanced click on "Deactive device when not run for"
this setup turns off all display lights after minute that you set and in the same time blocks all keys.
To reactivate the handheld just press the power button.
I find this setup very useful.
Exscuse me because I have not an english ROM and I don't know if I have made a right translation of commands.

Thanks luigug, but that is how I configure my device from start.
The point is that I dont want to press power button again to activate device, just to tap on screen and use slide to unlock application.
Any other clues?
Thanks

you are right, this is a major design mistake in wm6 "features", and all wm6 devices suffer from it. This behaviour actualy make the native windows Device lock function unusable. Also, wm is much more stable if you never suspend it, and battery performance is almost the same.
I even searched for a wm5 downgrade rom for my eten m800 (wm5 does not have the dimming "feature"), but without success.
I still hope someone will manage to get a fix for this to function like in the wm5 days (my mio a701 was able to do it easely). Maybe we should make a wish topic in development section ?

turn off keyboard backlight?

i tried to search but cant find any good solutionabout this,
how do you turn off the backlight of the keyboard manually? with my delicate fingers i can actually type in tp2 using my fingers, however in a decent light condition, the keyboard backlight automatically turns on sometimes and i cant read the characters on the keyboard (wished the buttons are black)
i tried to turn off the kb backlight autosensor, turns out it manually turns on the backlight, not turning it off.
any ideas?

I would also like to know how to shut off the keyboard back light.
I think it is a waste of battery life sometimes.
Do anyone know how to create some kind of manual switch that would allow me to toggle between having it on (with the auto sensor) and just always off?
I remember having some kind of application for this on my palm centro.
Thanks

Anyone?
The only work around I have found so far is to open the keyboard, then press the power button then press it again, and not touch the keyboard, and the back light will remaind off. I do this so I can watch videos with the keyboard out and the screen tilted.

you can change the timeout in hkcu\controlpanel\backlight\qkeyledtimeout default is 10. maybe you can change it to 0 or atleast 1.
it looks like keylightautosensor might be what you are looking for. you can try em out. soft reset to apply.

That didn't seem to do anything?

Does anyone knows how to do that??

Keyboard backlight?

Hey all,
When I slide out the keyboard of my device the backlight didn't work. When there is enough light this is not a problem, but in the dark the backlight is still off. How can I get the auto-sensor working again like it did in the stock ROM?
I've turned off the auto-sensor now so the backlight does work, but I think it's a waste of battery when it's always on.

[Q] How to disable backlight when it's not needed?

During the day, here is no need for the screen to be lit. But looks like it turns backlight on when turn on...
Tried to use minimum light instead of automatic, but still turns on the backlight :\
Any ideas?

Bump, was about to ask the same question.

In Android 5.0.1 you can turn off the backlight on motions.
Can not turn it off when you receive notifications but me I see no huge issue.
There is a app .... think somebody posted it in Android Wear forum that gives you more control if you want it darker.

edit
To lock your screen press the side button 3 times consecutively. Your screen will stay on without the backlight (monochrome look) but won't turn on when u look at or touch the screen. You can activate the screen with 1 click. Or unlock it again with 3 clicks. Handy for saving battery life I just found it by messing about and was looking everywhere on forums.
