Keypad lights

Anyone besides me have this problem? Whenever I switch from letters to numerals, my keypad light goes out. It only comes back when I switch to letters. What kind of **bleep** is this? If you're in a dark room, you're screwed. It's like using braile.

Hello,
I think you can try two things : the soft reboot, and if it does not work, the hard reboot. Don't worry, you can't lose data with these two reboots.
Soft reboot :
1) Hit the three following keys at the same time :
- Alt
- Right Shift
- Delete
2) wait 2 minutes for the Blackberry to wake up.
Hard reboot :
1) your Blackberry device is on
2) remove the battery and wait for a minute
3) Put the battery back
4) wait 5 minutes for the device to wake up.
Please tell us if it works for you.

N85 keypad light problem

My n85 numerical keypad approximately 5 seconds after the light is off, the buttons on top of the light is on normally, pressing the numeric keys the light side still does not open when you on/off keylock or slide open and close keypad light back normal(on)

it is most probably a bug in the firmware, the only solution to this issue would be to wait for a release of another fimware hoping that this might get solved, tho it does not have to. i had issues with the keypad on the frist firmware but that got fixed since v11....was released

Nokia 6680 - Keypad Light Problem..

Hi can anyone tell me why my keypad light switches itself off while the screen remains bright? Its impossible to text in the dark!

I have often wondered this, mine does exactly the same. I have S/W Vers 4.04.07.
I can only presume that it's some sort of battery saving feature that Nokia have put into the unit. What the unit should do is keep the keypad light lit whilst buttons are still being pressed and then only turn off when no keys are pressed for a certain amount of time.
Any ideas people???

Nokia 6500slide Keypad light problem

I am having a problem with my nokia 6500s, the keypad lights with the numbers on will not switch off unlike the buttons on the top((select etc))
Can anyone give me any help??
Would be really grateful.

Hi
I have the same phone...8 months old..actually it has been in for repairs 3 times..the new one they gave me to replace it is is for repairs as I type this.
My keypad lights go off after a few hours...whatever buttons I press..the keypad lights will not come on. Sometimes the delay is 3 or 4 days..but they eventually don't come on. The only thing that resolves it for a few days/hours is to switch it off and on.
I suggest you take it back to where you bought it.
Hope it helps.

When i try to wake my macbook after sleep the keypad lights up but the screen stays black. I have to switch off and restart. How do I fix this?

After my Macbook goes into sleep mode it sometimes won't wake. The keypad lights up but the screen stays black. This problem has only occured after updating to OSX 10.7.2.
All I can do is switch off and restart. Then any programs I have not 'quit' all open.

OK, I have a fix.
After spending about an hour online with Apple Care without success, I did a reinstall of the Lion OS. It fixed the problem. I was concerned that I would lose data or settings, but the reinstall was seemless and everything was the way it was before the reinstall except that the "black screen on wake" problem was fixed.
I started the reinstall before I went to bed and it was waiting for me the next morning.
Here is a link to the page on how to do the reinstall:

Is there an option on the latest Ipod Classic 160GB to turn on the keypad lights?

I was wonder whether there's an option on the latest Ipod Classic 160GB to turn on the keypad lights?

Yep exactly as you mentioned. I thought I saw it once on youtube whom sombody was showcasing it.. perhaps this feature used to was around with any of the older/previous generations.
Too bad..

E52 Keypad Light LEAKS!!

Hey,
Bought an E52 this week..of many Many keypad light leaks..the one below the Home key's the worst; you can actually see an LED. In low light situations, this actually gets to you.
This picture is from a Lebanese handset reviewed by somebody at Symbian-Guru..its the same in my Indian handset..
Went to a Nokia Care centre where they showed me a spare keypad cover..I turned it around and there's a HOLE in that spot on all E52 keypads!!
If somebody could please explain the logic behind this...?
Thanks in advance,
Gopi A.

I suppose it's not just on the E52 then. The light leakage also occurs in the E72 and many have mentioned this flaw, thinking it's only their unit that has this design defect.
In the E72, it has exactly the same light leaking under the Home key. There's also a slighter light leaking beside the left soft-key and also beside the right-soft key. (probably not as bad as the E52 for the light leaks on the sides of the soft-keys).

My 8520 curves keypad lights don't dim after the screen back lights have switched off. Please help, this is eating my battery life!

Have you tried rebooting the device by removing the battery?
If that doesn't work, have you loaded any 3rd party apps?

6680 keypad lights,help plzzzzzzz

i just bought a new nokia 6680 and with every other phone i've had when you press the buttons the keypad lights up????!but the keys on my nokia 6680 sometimes light up when i press a button and sometimes dont???????? is this normal

In the upper left corner in the front of the phone there's an ambient light sensor that has an impact on the keypad lights and display brightness.
When the phone is in a bright environment according to the sensor, the keypad doesn't light up unnecessarily.
When it is dark[er], the keypad lights turn on.
Helps conserve battery power.

N95 + keypad light + battery

I dont know my fone is problem or not thus I post it here. My n95 every thing is fine. However, when the battery indicator shows 1 line only, it means may have the notification "low battery", the keypad light some times doesn't work. I mean if I slide up the fone (or slide down), the light which make keypad brighter doesnt turn on. At the beginning, I thought my be the light is faulty, then I tried to make call to my fone, then I can see the key pad light flashing as normal. If my fone is full of battery, the key pad light of course always on if I slide up/down the fone. It only doesn't on if the battery is low (may be on but for few seconds, then off) . I'm wonderring because I dont think the software smart enough to do that saving.
Any one can check it for me? because can't find any around me use N95 to make sure.
Thx

You can adjust the light sensitivity so that the screen & keypads brightness alters accordingly to the environment it is in.
Tools> Settings> General> Personalisation> Display>
Light Sensor. I have mine set in the middle of the slider bar so its not too bright in a dark place, yet bright enough outdoors. Its also a fairly good setting for battery life.

N73 keypad lights

The keypad lights turn on as normal when unlocked, but when i go to type a message they turn off and im not sure why. Is it supposed to do this? Is there an easy fix or shall i take it back to the shop i bought it from? Its only 3days old.
Many thanks!

the n73 has a built in light sensor. if the area is brightly lit, for example during the day or under a bright night light, the keypad will go off. go into a very dark room and the keys will keep lit up. the light sensitivity can be adjusted though.
everything happens for a reason

Keypad Lighting for BB Curve 3G 9300

Hi, can't seem to find in the options how to enable the lighting for the keypad of my BB Curve 9300 3G model. Can't type anything in the dark because i can't see the keypad due to absence of back lighting. Thanks.

hello,
the backlight of the screen can be configured, but the backlight of the keyboard cannot. It is automatically triggered when the proximity censor feels it's dark.
I suggest you to go to your carrier support and have them look at this issue, and maybe change your device for another one.

Keypad lights but no activity

Heard a "pop" last night, checked everything around the iMac and the only thing not working correctly was the bluetooth keypad extension on the keyboard. Get a yellow light when I push reset, green when turned on and off. But no key action.
Is it possible something gave out in the keypad but some functions still remain active? Any way to test it short of maybe going to an Apple store?
Thanks.

I attempted to connect using DHCP, but that returned an error message, which suggested I contact my service provider. So I did that. Based on my type of modem, the rep said I should be using PPPoe. In the airport utility I reset it to PPPoe.
The problem was solved, but shutting everything down. modem, airport, and mac.
Restarting modem. waiting for all lights
restarting airport.
restarting mac.
The mac found the airport, and connected with the timer running, ethernet did NOT connect, which was happening before, somehow.
Browse to web pages worked.
Now I have to sort out the printing.

Nokia 6110 keypad light won't turn off

Last night I noticed that on the font keypad of my 6110 the light under the Red hang up key, C and navigator key would not turn off even when I turn the phone off.
I did a software update today but that didn't fix it.
What could be causing it?
I'll probably send it of to get fixed but it will take 3 weeks.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Nokia 6700 cannot get keypad lights and notificati...

i have just bought the nokia 6700 on o2 py as you go, everything seems fine but i cannot get my kepad to light up and my missed call/txt notification light to work. the keypad wont light up at all even when i switch the phone on or plug charger in.
am i missing something in the phone set up? or is it faulty?
thanks

The 6700 has an ambient light sensor so the keypad won't light up unless it's actually dark. I'm sure your problem is actually more complicated but it's worth eliminating the obvious things first.
