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.

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???

Hi Antonis,
I hope the below can answer your questions:
1- If you are using the Nokia C3-01, then the notification lights is indeed available. You can set it through: Menu>>Settings>>Display>>Notification details>>Set it to Show. At the same time, make sure that the light effects are set to "On". To do so, follow these steps: Menu>>Settings>>Lights>>Lights Effects>>On.
Once you set up the above on the Nokia C3-01, whenever you miss a call or a message, the notification light in the middle will work. It is actually located on the silver colored bar between the green and red buttons for calls. Also, the Nokia C3-01 has a very good battery life. Therefore, it might actually fit your requirements as it is a touch screen phone with a standard keypad for SMS typers such as yourself.
2- As for the E52 and the E72, they are actually both great phones and both of them have the notification lights. You can refer to the previous post for steps on how to set them up. But from personal experience, the light effects on the E52 is actually brighter than any other phone that i have seen. So, since you are also interested in the keyboard of the Nokia E52 for SMS purposes, I think you should go for that one.
3- However, as far as Blackberry is concerned, I would recommend you to contact them directly for any details or help on their phone's features.
In conclusion, if you wish to have a simple "Old Fashioned" but sophisticated phone, I would recommend you to go for the Nokia C3-01. However, if you wish to have a smartphone with all the above features that you require, then the E52 would be a great choice as well. All in all, the decision is in your hand

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 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.

I know what is the problem of "Nokia 5500" Keypad!...

I have shown the glue of its keypad to some experts. All of them said that its glue is weak against temperature and I understood that My Nokia 5500 Keypad is unglued because of my pocket temperature.

Nice one, my friends had that problem aswell, thanks for the post

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.

Nokia 5800 no light on the 3 buttons

Hey guys im having a problem with my nokia 5800. The problem is there is no lights on the front buttons in front of the phone but the buttons are responding well it's just they don't light up when you press one of them..

Hi janjong03.
You could try a factory settings reset.
Menu > Settings > Phone > Phone mgmt.> Factory settings > Yes > Enter the security/lock code and OK.
(the Nokia's default security code is 12345)

Nokia 5610 - the lights are singeing from time to

Hi
On mi Nokia 5610 , the lights are singeing from time to time
At the attached doc file , the lights are marked with blue arrows
Question 1 : Why does the lights are singeing ?
Question 2 :How can I stop it ?
thanks in advanced

Yep, I have no problem in Win with the lan, and in mandrake, after years of strugle with the control center, I got it to work.
Good Idea, I'll do that (exchange cards).

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:

Nokia c3 keypad

my nokia c3 keypad is not working, i may have got it wet, i don't know, but itll turn on, and if i've taken the battery out, itll let me set the date and time, but once i get passed that stage, itll just stay on the homescreen and buzzes when calls and txts come through but the keypad freezes. it'll let me also turn it off but other than that nothing. I dont know what to do? it seems weird the keypad will work for turning it on/off and numbers(date and time) until i get to the home screen....
any help? thanks

Hi Sohaib_awan,
Have you updated your phone to the latest firmware available for your device? To do so, check for updates in either Nokia Suite or on your phone itself. Also try restoring the phone to factory settings after performing the update. If either of these still do not work, then it may be a hardware problem, and you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for them to investigate.

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).

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.

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.
