Soft Key Backlight. - HTC Sensation

Hi, I have a problem. I like to watch videos and read e-books on my sensation, but the soft key backlight always stays on even though i don't touch it. Is there a mod or a way to turn off the key backlights after a certain time ? btw I'm on Virtuous Inquisition ROM with stock kernel. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Evans.

I think you would have to flash another ROM to have that feature. I know that ARHD with Leedroid Tweaks will let you disable the button backlight, the new ViperS rom lets you disable the lights as well. Im not sure about Virtuous Inq, never used it

You can try this:

I've personally not tested this so backup first.
Cheers.

OK, I've just tested it, and it works well on AOKP (M6).
The user comments in the above thread seem to be positive enough, so you should be fine.
You can easily add shortcuts on your home screen for easy access to the on/off functionality. (As pictured in the thread also.)
Regards.

I haven't had Sense in a while, but look for G-Sensor calibration in settings and do it. Reboot afterward.

Sometimes it just may need a restart to fix the auto-rotation. Reboot should fix it.
Sounds like you have a broken accelometer or its on its way going out. I had same problem g sensor won't calibrated at all now says abort everytime restarts do nothing.
I can't do anything that requires accelometer/g sensor and sounds like you have same problem.
Sorry man .
Reset your phone to default settings there's a great download in inspire development that will revert everything for you the call HTC and they will fix it for free as long as you restore everything to stock froyo or gb ruu. And you havnt tampered with anything etc etc .
HTC said 6-9 days for my phone to get fixed and back to me

Buttons illuminating?

When using the Desire S should the Home, Menu, Back and Search buttons be hilighted? Is there a setting to turn it on if there is one as my eyes are bad and I quite often hit the wrong button by mistake.

Depends on what ROM you're using. Not possible to tweak it if you're on a Stock ROM.
If you're on a custom ROM, then all ROMs with the RCMix tweaks have a feature to keep the button backlight on all the time.
Just go to Rcmix tweaks>Display Options>Backlight settings>Set to "Always On" and you're done.
Hope that solves your problem.
Hi just to update it seems it`s not possible to highlight the soft keys(that is the Home, Menu, Back and Search keys) They are automatic, triggered by the ambient light sensor and from my point of view this is very annoying.
As I am running the stock rom at the moment I am looking at the market to see if there are any apps that will solve this. If anyone knows of any that can do this can you let me know?
Thanks

Like I said... Not possible on stock ROM. In my knowledge... There is no app in the market that can let you do that... Least of all, without root.

Another update, just found an App called Screen Filter it`s primary function is to control screen brightness but is has an option to Enable soft-key backlight. Just the job for me

Sorry for not posting earlier but al89nut is right it does not work. Looks like I will have to down grade my H Boot and root the phone and install another rom

stick a tiny black "electricity tape" over the sensor...that`s what i did and now i have them permanently on....the sensor is located a little above and to the left of the name HTC at the top...you can test exactly where it is using your fingertip
Ha why didn't I think of that.Sometimes the best solutions are the easiest ones

Aokp home button acting up

So today my sensation running aokp started acting weird, basically whenever I touched the home button it makes a click noise and the screen goes white then back to the app I was in. The only way to get it to work again is to reboot it.
Does anyone know why this would happen and how I could prevent it?
Thanks in advance for your help

Bump. Does no one know why?

looks like a software bug.
if u use a custom rom try reflashing after backing up ur data.
a nandroid is also recommended.
if u are on stock... send it to htc

Try out one of those fancy "cover the proximity sensor for x amount of seconds to unlock screen" apps on the play store. Try out a app called "light lock"

Yeah, I did. Wanted to do it with volume buttons, on stock, non rooted... but so far - no chance :silly:
May be with widget locker is possible, but I want the stock locker, so...

Thanks guys for the replies, maybe i'll just stick with it
I saw a kernel i the dev section that allowed you to swipe across the back/home/app buttons to wake the device.
I dont remember which kernel it was though.

viper xl 3.2.7 bluetooth disconnecting when phone sleeps
About 5 minutes after my screen turns off/sleeps, my Bluetooth turns off. As soon as I wake the phone, it re-connects. I had the same problem with Bulletproof 1.3 and Elemental 6.5. I reflashed the kernels a couple of times, and the Rom as well. I did a complete wipe before flashing. I have used Viper in the past, but never encountered this problem. I have been on ICS till now, but was lured back to JB now that the mass storage mess has finally been conquered. Any suggestions on how to fix the Bluetooth?
