Default Budney, Zamboni & Other Treo Owners - Please Help

Here is the scenario:

This morning as I was browsing the web, I hit some combination of buttons on the key pad, that brought up the brightness control menu. I have no idea what I did and I have two questions on it,

1. What may have been the combination, it would be a useful feature on some websites.

2. I swear the white number keys look brighter than they were before - is there a setting to adjust the brightness of just the keypad that I may have stumbled upon.

Thanks very much for any & all help.

Hi Charlyee, Just got your PM. I will post here for others who may not know.

To bring up the brightness control on the Treo you push the option key + P. If you notice on the upper right of the P key their is a symbol that looks like a little sun.

Thanks much budney, I was wondering what the little sun was .

Maybe I really should read manuals.

Say Donna, how about adding your review to this thread (http://forums.wirelessadvisor.com/mi...50-review.html (Treo 750 Review)). It also has Steven's review embedded in it.

Ofcourse you could start a new one also. Btw, how long have you had yours?

Thanks Much

I didn't get the pm, but there is also another trick you can do to put your screen in night mode.

Press option and menu.

I can do that! I've had mine just long enough to not be able to change my mind (just over a month), but I may be doing a wex on it. Even with the patch, the phone doesn't ring anymore. All the other bells and whistles, but can't hear an incoming. I've given it a time out for now, waiting to see if WM6 helps, and I'm using my 3125 in the meantime (my favorite phone ever).

Thanks, I have had mine for just over 2 months. I did not have any problems and yet did the patch (don't ask ), so as far as I am concerned the patch works lol.

I just got a WiFi SD card and downloaded the disable/renable registry edit. I will try it out tonight from home (cannot access work wireless from non company issued devices) and if it works I will post the link on my other thread, in case anyone else is interested.

It will be great if it works, then I can cater to my WA addiction when I am overseas. .

Looking forward to your review.
