On my Touch I had a short cut button to dim the backlight in about 5 different stages. Is there any equivalent button or program I can use to make it easier to adjust the backlight as it remains too bright when driving my car in the night. Or even adding a button to TT7 to adjust the backlight, this would be jsut as good a solution for me.
Going to settings and manually adjusting means that I spend too much time fiddling with technology.
you can try WKtask manager! it allows you to adjust sound and brightness by tapping in the top right corner of the today screen! some changes to setting required( easy enough tho)
its freeware and can be found on the forum
Many thanks. Just dowloaded it and works fine.

Perhaps I'm nuts (in fact quite likely), but I can't find a way to dim the backlight during operation other than going to Settings... Backlight...
With my SX66, I was able to press-and-hold the Power button to turn on/turn off the backlight. On the TyTN, that brings up the Shutdown menu.
I already scoured the manual and found nothing.
Any ideas?
I use Spb Pocket Plus, adds a nice slider for brightness to today screen, among other things.
Pocket Plus may well be a good solution, but is there a built-in key/function for toggling the backlight?
If there is, I haventh found it.

Get yourself a copy of HandyMenu 3.5 from Dinarsoft !
It resides in the bottom task bar and can be invoked by one click with the stencil giving access to a number of self-configurable items such as the backlight.
Really very useful.
I am really missing the abilty to quickly change the volume of the phone using the up down wheel like you could on the wizard.
The fact the wheel allows easy access to the screen is great though.
The ideal solution seems to be to map the left hand side ok button to the volume control instead of the start menu when on the today screen.
unfortunatly the buttons options in the settings do not include the ok button.
Is anyone aware of how to do this?
Maybe one of Vijay's apps could achieve this...
Anybody know know to turn off the LED on the hardware buttion like Start, OK, and IE.
Any kind of registry setting that will turn off that light on those button?
I'm curious why you would want to take away such a useful things away. Currently I use all the hardware button and wish there are more available. I use it for things such as changing SIP, rotate screen, start IGO, and control myp3 (such as volume up, volume down, next song,previous song,blank out screen, bring up the playlist,pause, unpause. This is while the device remains inside my belt pouch). The ok button is extremely useful in doing things such as hiding the phone application after use. Similarly if you're using program such as VITO fun contact, you could hide it after use without having to exit this extremely memory tiny application and able to instantly access your contact again anytime. Why would you want to disable all these useful features?

I suppose he just wants to turn off the light of the buttons to gain some more battery time, not to disable their use. Though I doubt you would gain so much by disabling the leds.
I noticed a gain in battery time when I disabled the blinking LEDs, but they blink all the time unlike the button LEDs which are only on sporadically. So I agree that disabling the button LEDs won't gain you anything.
I just think that the LED or the light is annoying. I didn't mean to disable the function.
The light around the joystick is fine. So any solution ??

I don't think the keyboard has backlight. There is no light at all as I know....So this is not an option.
Hi,
Is there an app to set my backlight on my keypad on and off by timer, because in the day i cant see the letters on the keypad because of the light
thanks
No timer, but there is a program where you can do it manually. Search for Dark Keys in marketplace. Assign it to a shortcut and you're good to go.
Not for nothing but dark keys suck. It's constantly going on and off at random times. Also sometimes it gets stuck in the on/off position and will not let the backlight be turned off...
just my $0.02...
I have the exact opposite problem. At nite i cant see the keys and the backlight only stays on for a split second, i have asked for a always on function from the developer of the app. Hopefully he or she can add this to the function of the app without opening it each time i slide open the keypad.
Power Manager has an option to keep keys lit when the screen is up I beileve.
Edit: double post... apologies
I just finally learned how to installed android but the problem is when I just started Android on my HD2 and went to Setting for brightness, it ain't brighten up, how can I bright it up?
ah a little more info would help a lot.
but basic over all its just like any other device.
settings>display> adjust brightness>
also if you long press on the home screen it will bring up a menu where you can select widgets. From that menu select power control widget and from there you can also control the brightness.
