Hey everyone,

I have been trying to figure this out for a while but have found no answer. How can I get the keyboard to light up whenever I type on it? I don't want it to light up only when my Blackberry thinks it needs to. Sometimes the snesor doesn't work and I am typing in the dark. I have the auto-dim on. Also, I have the app BBLight but that doesn't seem to work. What should I do?

Turn off the auto dim and it will always light up.

I see the OP is on an 8330 but the above statement is a negative on my 4.5 8320. The keyboard lighting is extremely arbitrary. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to when it wants to light up.

I upgraded the OS less than two days after buying the device so I can't recall if it was like that before the upgrade or not.

The device has a built in light sensor. If you press a button to make the screen light up while in a lit area, the keyboard will not light up. But then if you move it under a table, or turn off the lights, it will light up.

Or put your finger over the sensor/LED opening on the face.

With the previous versions of 4.5 my keyboard would not light up at times, even in a dark room. I have the sensor turn off, as always. The latest version of 4.5, at the top of this section, fixed that for me and it lights up all the time.

Where is the sensor/ LED opening on the face?

NickfromIL 08-07-2008 12:06 PM

cover up the little spot where the red/green/blue LED flashes

That didn't work for mine. I have the 8830, could that be different?
