Button light while screen is on.

Hi
I have an Achieve holder in my car for the Kaiser.
My problem is following:
The button back light tuns off earlier then the Screen.... therefore It is really hard to find the buttons...
Is it possible to make the buttons to light while the screen is on?

Backlight

i searched and no luck, so here it goes,
After talking on the phone, when the screen shuts off, when i hit the red little phone icon to end the call, the screen goes bright again, but as soon as i hit the o.k. button the screen goes dim, i have to hit the stand-by button on the side and hit it again for the screen to go back to bright.. Anybody know how to fix this or is there a way so that the screen stays bright all the time?
Disable the screen shutdown during phone calls. I believe kaiser tweak has that option[its a sticky. Make sure u pay close attention to All tilt-specific questions too...]

ATT Tilt KEYS backlight

hi all
i just noticed on my tilt that all the keys light up except for the navigation keys..
is this normal or do I need to get my fone exchanged?
When you recover from a suspend/sleep only the screen lights.
If you tap on the screen only the screen will light.
If you slide out the keyboard only the screen and keyboard will light. The keyboard lights will timeout before the screen.
If you press the dpad, any of the front buttons, or any of the side buttons, (except power) they should all light up but will time out before the screen does.
Actually i was talking more about when you hit one of those green/red/ok/msg/windows/navigation buttons..
does the 5 way navigation also light up(Like the edges)..
No, 5 way dpad itself is solid and does not glow even around the edge.

how do i hangup a call?

how do i hangup a call?
the screen is black and therefor inaccessible after a very short while so i cant use the
on-screen red end-call buttun, and also the button on the right-bottom (phone-icon down)
doesnt work!!! (or sporadically: cant put my fuinger on that yet....)
i tried the tweak where my screen will stay up while having a call, but that one doesnt seem
to work on my rom-version or so? (standard 1.35 dutch version).
is there another (or new) way to keep the screen up while on a call maybe?
please help: this is highly annoying as you probably understand.....
Thanks group!
The (hardware) button on the bottom right should work normally if you want to end a call. It could be that there is just a little leg between pressing it (once) and the phone actually responding to it.
If you want the screen to pop on during a call, just press the power button on top of the phone. Could have figured that out yourself... (even by searching the forum)
what a problem.... lol.. did you assign the hang up button to something else??
thx guys!
no, not assigned to something else.
the power-button is ok yes, thanks. still: the screens display should stay on, right?
thank you!
much appreciated

No the screen light will not stay on when your making a call. Simply put and its been repeated so many times on here now...that when you make a call the diamond light goes off as soon as the sensor senses that its near your ear...the sensor is next to the earpiece...clear little led light. What you can do to get around it...which is what i do is ring the number you want to ring and dont put it next to your ear until you get the vibrate ie when the call connects then put it next to your ear and the light should stay on...well it does on mine but if that dont work then when in a call just press the middle navigation button and that will turn the phone backlight on for you.

Spawn, you're absolutely wrong about the sensor... the screen light goes off regardless of whether you hold the phone against your face or not.. it's a timer..
Older phones like the Touch Cruise didn't have the sensor but yet it turns the backlight off after a few secs...
It's a timer setting in the Registry.
It turns the backlight off to save battery.

i thought spawn is right but i did a very simple experiment.
called my self from my fix phone and live the diamond on the table face up. i answered without picking the phone and after a few sec the light went off.

if there is a timer it has a registry and where there is a registry it has to be a "tweak".
btw, another way to have the light back and a safe background for yr ear is simply pull out the pen. you''ll get a note that will not bother anyone because it is not actionable by yr ear lol!
if you'll light on the screen with any other means you and your partner in the conversation will get for sure a few "beeps" when the phone pad is touched by yr ear.

Ermm no it doesnt...i just made a call to test your theory....didnt put the phone to my ear and when i did the light still stayed on. Left the diamond still connected for about a min or so and still the light stayed on...
On my phone i have the TLR version 1 rom running and made a few adjustments in the power settings so dont know if thats made any difference to the light staying on etc.

you are right ...i think i didn't pickup the phone but i was too close, looking at the screen....and that was enough to start the sensor.
checked again keeping asafe distance from the phone and the screen doesn't turn off...

Why do the menu lights go off so quickly?

Like this phone, not sure why they would not allow the bottom capacative lights to stay on longer. They don't even light in dim lighting! If anything, it would be nice if they lit with a screen tap. Hope this gets addressed someday soon.
