Is there a fix for the keypad backlight? (not working)

[Zerodead786]

Okay so I done all that and it all worked when I typed cd and then the directory and it came up with this


I then tried to do adb devices
It still came up with the same thing

The first screen shows the output from typing 'adb' with no (or bad) parameters. The second screen indicates you changed directory away from that of the first one, since it doesn't recognize the adb command any more. If you had stayed on the first screen and typed 'adb devices' with the phone plugged in (& set to debug mode, charge only) it should have shown the phone's serial no.

I didnt do anything after that I typed it in straight away

Maybe easier just to use terminal emulator from market....
If you want to make a .sh file and run it through gscript I can give you a link to a tutorial if you want

Sure, that would help a lot, thanks!

[jethro650]

Here is a link to the tutorial I wrote quite a while ago dealing with gscript. It automates script running. I read further up in the thread that what your trying to run will work through terminal emulator so this should work. Frustrating but do not copy and paste the commands from this webpage type them in, although in code boxes sometimes funky things can happen from copy/paste from webpages.

Thanks for jumping in here, jethro. Good to have assistance from someone who knows what he's doing.

Nice tut on SA, btw. I'm not familiar with gscript but I can see the usual suspects have made some great tools with it. But it may be a heavy lift for a a bareback n00b - I was trying to keep it as simple as possible, since this is probably a one-off fix for him. You're right about the <eol> differences between text editors. Certainly better to get notepad++ and type it in "longhand".

But what baffles me here is how can the screen show the output of 'adb help', then on the next line ('adb devices') can't find adb.exe? @Zerodead786 - what did you type in before 'adb devices'?

[jethro650]

I don't understand the outputs either, hence was trying to work around not using adb at all.
Maybe time for him to reinstall the sdk? Something weird going on methinks. There's a great step by step in the cliq/dext forums on installing the sdk and getting adb running properly including setting up the environmental variable path(big words for something simple) so that it shouldn't matter directory your in adb should work.
Upon thinking about it its probably best to get adb running properly as its the most versatile way to get things done.

I didn't type anything before it, I reinstalled the SDK too.
Also, I cant type it in as I cant get some of the symbols on my phone.
Thanks for all the help I know im being a pain in the back side.

Hmmmmm, frustrating when things don't work like they are supposed to, so you've re-installed the sdk, have you set up the environmental variables yet so that you can run adb from any directory? if not follow this You should be able to start at step 4, but, it might not hurt to double check that you have the newest drivers from motorola, so check out the links in the first two steps also, it only takes one small error or one thing not set up incorrectly and it wont work. Don't forget to enable USB Debugging on your phone, double check just to make sure. I know where you're at, I had a hell of a time getting it to work for me when I first tried to set up my computer for adb. I also gave up in the end and installed the whole sdk just to make sure I got all the files I needed to make it all work properly, it's a lot of downloading and installing but sometimes......I've also had to re-install a couple times in the past for reasons I still haven't figured out, just stopped working....usually when that happens I just uninstall everything and start from scratch and double check everything as I install it.

The reason I say something weird is going on is that you usually get the help list when you type a bad command like the top of your screen shot here, but you see the last two commands? The first one should have given you the help list again not the "not recognized" line, so it worked once, the help list, but then right after it didn't. It's like none of it was installed....I'm getting confused lol, that's why I suggest the guide and double checking everything is installed properly.

Use the [SYM] key to get the brackets ([]) and pipe (|) characters. Your terminal emulator probably supports the Cliq keyboard method. Yeah, you're a real pain. So am I.

[jethro650]

If it doesn't support the physical keyboard sym key(my desire z sym key won't function in terminal) press menu and toggle soft keyboard for the onscreen keyboard, then use alt to get to the symbols.
