Motorola Droid X :: Backlight Not Working On Bottom Hard Press Keys
Nov 3, 2010
A backlight used to turn on for the bottom hard press keys on my dx but ever since I downloaded and installed the live wallpaper panoplied, they don't turn on anymore. I don't know how or even why a live wallpaper would turn off backlight settings for the keys but its becoming a major inconvenience. I checked the settings but couldn't find where to tweak backlight settings. I also rebooted the phone and did a soft reset but that didn't work. Can anyone out there help a brother out?

Does anyone elses keys (keyboard, home button, menu, etc) not light up sometimes? For me the problem would fix itself after opening and closing the hard keyboard a couple of times. But after I downloaded SweeterHome preview 2 they won't light up at all. Is there a timeout option im missing or something? Or is this a common problem with no fix?

So oddly enough my wife's Eris does not let her long press ANY of the bottom two rows of app icons/widgets. I can long press any of the top two rows apps/widgets fine to remove or add in an empty space. but the bottom two rows I can't remove or add with a long press.anyone else have this issue? I'm trying to figure out whats new but she isn't that into her phone so she never installs stuff on it, im the one tweaking and playing with her phone and I haven't touched it in a week this started happening randomly 2 days ago.

Does anyone know how to disable the backlight from the haptic keys on the droid/milestone? They are extremely annoying while I'm watching or reading something.

Biggest thing I'm concerned about...can the X be woken up by one of the front hard buttons? Without 3rd party app?

So I know this has been a recurring problem, the quick keys at the bottom of the screen being purple.But no one has ever figured out what to do about it?Is there a way to cover them up or something so they aren't visable at all?It may be my OCD acting up, but i feel disgusted at the prospect of having to look at a phone whose 4 buttons are different colors for the next two years.

After successfully rooting my phone, after my reboot i noticed that the bottom row of touch sensitive keys and the physical keyboard do not light up when touch or slid open. to fix this i have to go to the brightness setting and uncheck and check automatic brightness again?
is this common? did i make an oopsie?

First post here. First Android phone as well. Picked up the X yesterday and am enjoying it. One quick question though, can I not turn the phone to the right (bottom keys to the left) to change the orientation? Things only turn when I turn the phone left or straight up, not right or upside down.

Is there some sort of tweak to extend the amount of time the control keys at the bottom of my Captivate stay backlit? I hate guessing in low or no light conditions.

Just brought a Droid Eris. Love the phone. There is one thing that is really getting on my nerves. Is there a way to disable the bottom keys (Menu, Home, Back, Search, etc etc) from vibrating when touch? Even when I dial a number the keys are vibrating (haptic feedback) I've read the manual. Just havent found a way to stop it

The buttons at the bottom of the phone (not the hard-press buttons, but the lower row of touch-screen buttons -- dialer, open app list, and contacts), are non-responsive.
Everything else seems to be working okay. Tried powering off/up, also tried battery pull, still the same.
I'm close to opting for "restore factory settings", but I've spent some time customizing, and that's really a last resort.

When I turn the phone sideways to use the long keyboard my hand keeps touching the quick search button. Is there anyway to lock the bottom keys or make it so they are not as sensitive?

In many games there are actions that you need to hold Y and then press B , but for snesoid, since I am using my same thumb on the virtual keys in an attempt to press them both at the same time, it doesn't work. It will release y and then press B or just release y. This becomes apparent in games like Super Mario World when you run, then jump, you lose the momentum and just do a regular jump. On the droid x, the only solution I have found is to set B also to a hardware key, like one of the volume buttons, then you can see how its supposed to work when you hold Y then hit B. This affects many other games like DKC3 (jumping while holding barrel). Any help or ideas?

I am trying to implement a functionality when i press the VOLUME DOWN and POWER BUTTON simultaneously; i must be able to run a method code inside my Activity.
public boolean onKeyUp(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
}
From my initial search; it seems that only one such key press event is acknowledged at a time in Android usng the onKeyUp method. Is it true?
In my Android phone, on simultaneously pressing POWER BUTTON as well as MENU BUTTON i am able to capture a screen shot.
Does this feature not acknowledge simultaneous key presses?

I was wondering. Is there an app for changing the soft keys on my Samsung Vibrant to only activate when pressed long or double clicked? I am just sick and tired of accidentally pressing them because they are so damn sensitive, and unlike the Fascinate or Epic 4g, so close to the touch screen that pressing spacebar on the onscreen keyboard half the time results in hitting the soft keys by accident. I don't understand why we can't customize what the soft keys do and how long or many times activates them, because if you got even normal sized finger tips, it's so annoying to be typing into the search bar and then press back right below and have to retype everything again.

Is there any app/hack/widget to keep the backlights on the bottom buttons on just as long as the screen is backlit? So annoying how quickly they go off. Equally as annoying is how quickly the screen goes to sleep after you get a text. It literally stays on for 2 seconds, so I have to press the power button then slide/unlock to get to my text. Needs to be an option to keep it on for longer (10 seconds).

I am building a carPC system based on Android 2.3 device IconBIT Toucan Nano. It's an ARM9 standalone box w/ HDMI and 2 USB ports, no GPS, no WiFi, no screen. Device comes rooted.
I've built a HID USB keyboard emulator based on a PIC18F2550 to use car radio keys to control the Android box, they basically map to F1-F10 keys, but I can change the setting to any HID USB scan code of course.
What I am trying to achieve is to be able to start Music player, Navigation and some other apps of my choice by pressing a single hardkey. When you drive, you don't really want to browse menus and look thru Applications, you just want a seperate keys for Music player, Navigation, Camera, etc etc. I have found a keylayout file (/system/usr/keylayout/*) which maps hardkeys to keys and apps, however it only runs pre-chosen default apps (like Music.apk or VideoPlayer.apk), and no user-specified apps.
I would like e.g. to run PowerAMP instead of Music.apk when 'MUSIC' key is pressed, also I would like to run Navigation (e.g. Google Maps) when some other key (say 'CAMERA') is pressed.
How do I specify my own apps for hard keys? I should use some Application->Launch menu, but my device does not have this menu. Also, another way is again go to Applications, All and change defaults, but no defaults are set for music player.
Also, for some reason, when I installed the latest firmware provided by IconBIT, HOME button stopped working. I have a mapping in keylayout file like key 62 HOME # F4, but just nothing happens when F4 is pressed.
I think there's gotta be some config file responsible for the apps launched on hardkey press, but where is it?

I am using seek bar to control volume of the device. I am able to change the volume of the device using thumb of the seek bar just by dragging it on touch pad. But when user presses volume(side) keys I need to set seek bar thumb position accordingly.

From the moment I received my HTC Hero from orange several weeks ago I noticed the when I press the back arrow button on the bottom right of the phone its clicks and creaks, dont think its the button itself but its the plastic battery case that makes the sound.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Since I updated my software the other day, when I type a text message in the native program I cannot use the Shift (up arrow key) when the phone is vertical. When I flip it horizontal the shift key works, but then the ABC to # key no longer works. Does anyone else have this problem? Verizon's only advice was to pull the battery out...of course did nothing.

I think I found a bug in 2.0.1. If you power on your Droid in the dark, the keypad backlight does not work. You have to go to Setting -> Display and manually unclick the "Auto" and reclick it back.Anyway to get it to work is to power the droid is a lighted room and everything will work fine. I think somehow the light sensor got screw up when it is dark to start with.

I have tried covering it up, playing with the phone in the dark but the backlight for the home, menu, back and search buttons will not come on. They worked when I got the phone on tuesday until wednesday night, then they cut out. I just did a factory reset and they are still not working. Does anyone have any suggestions?
