Did it always or update related?

Same thing there haha

 

Battery saver to the max

 

same thing here. i posted right after i did the update and then i rebooted teh phone a few times and then it seemed to start working. the issue seems random.

 

It does that if you have your Droid automagically changing the screen brightness. Once you manually change the brightness it will turn off after a certain time.

 

okay just tested with covering up the light sensor. This is a nice feature. Backlit keyboard only lights up when necessary in low light. Nice

 

until you update then it will randomly break.

Mine has been working ok recently so i am not sure what causes it to not light up. it only happens randomly

 

False. I have updated and tested it out. Has not randomly broken . It is based on the light sensor. Same as if you are on a call.

 

I was sitting in complete dark and my keyboard and buttons did not light up. This has happened to me more than once and i even did a hard reset and the issue has still occured.


It

 

Remember that there are 2 light sensors - the one on the face & the camera lens.

Might account for the 'randomness'.

Seach as there is a post about this.

 

I agree it could have something to do with the sensor but I was sitting in a dark room with absolutely no lights on. i actually had to turn the light on so i could finish the text i was typing because i could not see the keys at all. The only thing that could have made the sensor think there was light would be the light from the screen.

I have had the droid for over a month and did not have the issue until right after the update.

I am not complaining about this i am just confirming with who opened the post that i was seeing the same thing. I do not sit in the complete dark that much so it does not bother me that much.
