Can this be done? Others have suggested that it's in Settings->Sound & Display->Keyboard timeout for other Galaxy S phones, but that Keyboard timeout doesn't seem to be there. I only see Screen timeout which doesn't effect those soft buttons.
It's a known bug that Samsung will address in its next ota update. No known fix at this moment unless someone writes an app.

Does anybody know a tweek that changes the time the keyboard backlight stays on for.
At present seems to timeout after 5 seconds.
known issue... i hate it!
but no solution as of yet
Whe I switch on my phone by pressing the top-right button, the phone is locked and the backlight is on. After 6 sec the backlight turns off.
When I unlock my phone, the backlight stays off
I would expect that the backlight gets on when you unlock... but it isn't.
Now I have to press the top-right button twice (to turn off and back on) and unlock within 6 seconds to get the backlight on.
This is very annoying.
Is there a way to get the backlight on after unlocking?
I have no solution - but can confirm that this happens to my phone too.
Hi,
Same problem here Found it very annoying so I just disabled the Backlight shut-off function alltogether

This seems to only happen if you use some kind of tweak that adjusts the auto-lock function. I used to use HD Tweak and changed the value for some auto-lock thingy (can't remember what it was).
After I hard-reseted it seems to have gone back to normal. So I would avoid any setting that changes the auto-lock thingy.
Note that uninstalling HD Tweak did not restore the correct functionality. Probably because I did not undo the changes prior to uninstalling.
So maybe you can try to change back the value first and see if it helps.
Good luck, I found that bug very annoying and decided I could live with no auto-lock.
Hi Saros,
Thanks for the input

I use HD Tweak aswell and had a feeling the Backlight Issue only occurred after enabling the Auto-Lock feature, thanks for confirming my suspicions. I DID however turn the feature back OFF in HD Tweak. Unfortunately that did NOT solve the problem
Don't feel much for a Hard-Reset at this point since it took me quite a while to get my new phone set-up correctly. Hopefully a fix will be available, I'll go browse through the HD Tweak topic to see if anything gives yet...

Rolf,
Disabeling the Backlight shut-off function is a good tip. Thanks.
But I still hope there will be a fix for this problem soon... so we don't use to much battery capacity.

I had this problem when i changed some registry keys. The following must be:
HKEY_CurrentUser\ControlPanel\Backlight\[AutoDeviceLockEnable set to 0]
HKEY_CurrentUser\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel\[LockLevel set to 0]
marpam,
When I set the first regkey back to 0, the autolock doesn't work anymore.
When I manually lock the device by press and hold the down-right button (stop call), the problem still exist when you unlock.
I want to keep the autolock function, but with backlight back on when I unlock the device.

I had this same problem. I did a hard reset and again set auto lock in tweak then shut off backlight off and the problem is gone and now auto lock is fine.
You can also use Lumos - solved the issue for me

Anybody knows the new registry setting to make the screen NOT turn black during a call?
On my X1 it was fast dormant setting but this is not there in the X2.
the registry key is HKLM\Services\MultiService\mods\Proximity\ SmartProximityHW
value is 1 for turning off display and 0 for leaving on.
Thank you!
Did try but does not work. It still turns the screen dark while on the phone during a call. Very annoying!
Perhaps you or somebody knows How to Wake the Device with ANY button press. Again was selectable with X1 but here its now (perhaps because no soft buttons?) but there must be also a reg setting.... hopefully.
For anybody that is annoyed by this black screen too........ I found the setting to at least delay this blacking out for a loooooong time if so desired:
under: HKLM\Services\MultiService\mods\InCallPwr ... set to 5000 or 50000 as I did. It is probably seconds before it turns dark. Setting was 5 (!) and it turned off in 5 seconds!
There are 2 settings, FirstTimeOut and Second. I changed the First! And later the second.... just because!
The main setting with InCallPwr setting 2, cannot be changed. I cannot delete it. This key will be recreated after restart. If somebody knows HOW to delete / disable this key, then we don't need to change the delay time
I have flashed CM7 Nightly #71. Post flash the Input buttons on the phone stopped glowing. Reboot does not help. Even boot time the input buttons are not initialised.
Any solution ?
Edit : Well played with Display setting -- With Screen brightness set to auto mode, input buttons behave normally, but take a while to glow once you unlock the screen. Well I am using brighness widget button in the power widget to change the brightness.
Edit : Well after playing multiple time now it behave normally across all brightness settings in the widget. I shall trying reboot and check if it initialises during boot time and post reboot behavior.
Edit : Input button don't initialise during boot. 25-30% brightness setting when changed to Auto brightness, Input buttons started glowing normally.
Is this a bug or input button are supposed to behave in this fashion ?

That commit messed it all up.
It remains lit for me all the time - but, your comment on the commit explains it all.
I am on #83 with new kernal flashed. Input button issue still remains. It does not come on for some settings while toggling battery settings in power widget notification.
I have installed miui camera from kevin2516. Sometimes camera sound goes after clicking few times. Along with camera sound, all sounds of the phone go off even calls. Only reboot resolves this?
Any solutions please?
The Sound Off issue is a known bug. It was *probably* solved in CM7 Stable versions, not sure though.
Move from #71 to #83 feel voice clarity during the call is reduced inspite of 4 bar full signal indication.
Feedback ---- #83 with new kernel, miui camera error with complete sound off couple if times
I have searched everywhere & cannot find anything on changing the time that the lockscreen turns back off without installing a custom lockscreen.
Do any of you know how to dig into the filesystem to change this?
I simply want to change the timeout to 5 seconds, so when I turn my phone on to check the time, it turns off by its self in just a couple seconds.
I dont even use the lockscreen for long anyway.
I have the Display timeout to 15 seconds & its great, I also have the lockscreen to appear immediately when the power button is pressed (a pretty obvious choice of settings, since I want to have the lockscreen present as soon as possible.
