whenever I hit a key it stays lit for 5-6 seconds from the last time I hit a key. and stays off until i hit another key.

thats how it acts naturally.

you don't need any of sonys bloatware

Boo Boo - a question to you as a person who likes to run everything manually (and of course others who for some reason don't use Vaio Control Center)... - How do you turn the backlight of your keyboard on without Vaio Control Center...?

Hint - as far as I know, it is impossible, unless you let Vaio Control Center use the light-sensor and switch it on when dark.

u can adjust the time the backlight will be offed and so...u would just need to cover the light sensor and it will stay lit for the time u wanted

[Boo Boo]

or you don't install any of the sony software and you get a fast machine

You are telling me it goes on even if it is daylight and sunny??

Great control over the machine....

I don't really think the Sony apps slow down the computer that much. I personally kept the original factory state but just disabled most of the ones I don't use. That should be good enough to free up memory/kill background processes and leave you with the basic tools to control your VAIO.

yeah it is. if its sunny outside maybe you need to get out more and stop using your computer. poor gracy

They don't indeed I did the same - removed all the crapware only and it is perfectly fine
And I do in fact like Vaio Control Center. It is really handy and as it looks - gives much more control then if uninstalled...

Another question - WWAN seems to be only usable when the Battery is inserted!? Whenever I try to activate WWAN without the battery I get a msg "please insert the battery and try again" !?

Why is that? I often remove the battery whenever I am not going to use it for days and it seems I can't use the WWAN then!??

[Steve78]

Bizarre! Maybe the battery powers the WWAN module?

Does anyone knows when there we will be a new S?
