Title: Turn off keyboard backlight when display is off
Post by: MadMac on February 18, 2020, 04:35:21 pm

Hi!

I wonder if there is a setting to have the keyboardbacklight turned off when the display is off. There is no need to have the keyboard lit when the Cosmo is not used.
Did I miss this somewhere or is this maybe afuture feature?

Thanks!
Marc

I think this is a bit of a bug. However, the light does turn off when you close the Cosmo.

Speaking of odd but little bugs. I noticed that when I lose signal and then regain it, the cover display turns on gps for some reason.

I have said it before. The CODI is more advanced than people realize, and have gained AI, and now it is trying to map coverage areas and blind-spots...      

And as a side note, there seems to be trouble with the board at the moment: It tells me I have to wait 10 seconds because of "flood control", but even though I do, it wont display. And that is not even on posting, but on previewing...

(Now it worked, see if it will actually post as well...)

The board is running on some very badly configured kit.  Check the timestamps.

@Dickon No, it's just that the software isn't there yet to control all of this. It's possible to implement this on Android,  BB and TCL did it with their various BB devices from the past 4 years.

Huh. I had not known that. Thanks.
