Thanks for the info, That did the trick.

I don't have the option for the KB_LIGHT_TIMEOUT in the reg. I did a reg. search and I couldn't find it. I have this HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ . Is that something I can add in?
I did change my phone form grid view to list view, thanks for the info.

Ok, I did the unlock thing and I think thats working. I can move the start menu icons around, but I can't figure out how to arrange them so that my fav. 9 will show up when I hit the start button or am i missing something.
Thanks,

I have no problem getting the Keypad to light up, I just want it to stay lit longer than 10 sec. The Power Management Settings for Backlight Time Out is just for the screen not keypad.

I tried Power Management and had it set to NEVER on both battery and AC and the keypad backlight still
goes out about 10 sec. I even tried differant time settings. I'm wondering if there is something wrong with my phone or is that how it is?

Thanks for the info,

3125

Is there away to adjust the keypad backlight so it will stay on all the time when in use or longer than 10 sec. ?

Thanks,
Tony

Mine is one big E and little e over the strength bar. That's how it is on the external screen also.

On another subject I've read where the phone goes into idle mode after ten minutes or so? People were not getting calls or missing voice mail. Mine was closed and sat overnight and I was able to call it and rang and I left a voice message and it gave me the you got mail sound. So, I guess thats fixed too?

Tony

Black electrical tape works good for covering up the led lights. Low tech fix.

I just picked up my 3125 today and the BT voice dailing works on it. Headset HS820.
I'm undecided if I like the phone or not. The Navagation pad is to small and hard to use.
Nothing like on my MPX220. But, I'm still playing with it.

Here is something I came across on Cingular Customer Forums. http://forums.cingular.com/cng/board/messa...message.id=3472
This may be old news.
This guy is specifically talking about the 3125.

You need to start with the first post and read them all, there's not many to read.

I went to http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1 and tested my phone on 200k dl
results were
48kbit/sec
2.199s latency
34.3s d/l time.
I dont know if thats good or bad.

So far I like most of what everyone has to say. I was hoping that the Edge speed would be little better than that. I guess it all depends on how important speed is for you.
Kinda looking at the 8525 (3G) but 300-400$ for a phone is kinda steep for just wanting a cool phone. Thats was one of reason I bought the 220 because I thought it was cool. I had to take back to BB and get it replaced 2 times and I sent it in to Motorola for waranty work and been pretty good for a year untill recently, speaker phone died and it will only charge from data cable. So, I guess 99$ is a good deal and a lot of upgrades from the 220. I see Best Buy has it for 99$.
Thanks for all the info and If I do get one I'll post my comment about it.

Long time listener first time caller.

I'm getting ready to upgrade my MPx220 and I'm looking at the 3125. I read the comments from another member comparing the 3125 to the MPx200 and I liked everything that was said. I just have a couple questions.
Is the 3125 faster at surfing the internet? The MPx220 is so slow I don't know why anyone would even bother. Anyone know if there is a 3G ver. or some other flip phone?
I also read somewhere that the 3125 is sometimes slow to responed. I think they were talking about when using it as an mp3 player that when you press one of the outside buttons that there is a delay and sometimes you don't know if pressed it hard enough or not, so you press it again and you end up skipping past what your looking for.

Thanks for any info,
Tony
