I am OMJ's Rom on my EVO rooted with toasts method plus the radio update and the led's under the front buttons are not working. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there an app that controls them that was removed?
The lights will be off when the phone is plugged in and charging.
When exactly are the lights under the four soft buttons supposed to be on?
On my EVO (novatec 003, stock) I have noticed an inconstancy in when they light up. Sometimes they light up when I unlock my phone, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they turn on later, sometimes they don't turn on at all.
This doesn't seem normal to me. What are other's experience with this?
Thanks
they are controled with the light sensor and should be on in low light situations and off in bright lights. you can test this by covering the light sensor to the right of the HTC logo on top of the device.
Thank you @peepeesea that was it exactly. Which is more hi-tech that I gave them credit for.
Also as a side note, since I've been reading the xda forums I feel like a phone hypochondriac. Everythings broken!!

The Home, Menu, Back and Search buttons are suppose to light up. But they aren't what gives?
It might only light up in dark places, I know mine isnt lighting up right now, but it has before.

There are some people who's don't light up, go into the closet and see if they go. Of course then you have to come out of the closet eventually
This happened to me. The lights stopped working all of the sudden... and then randomly started to work again. Don't know what the deal is.
They don't seem to light up when charging.

I noticed this too. If you unplug the phone they should turn on.
I thought you had to be in a dark area cause mine works only in dark places. Sort of like ny work blackberry same thing they light up when its dark.

Just confirmed it. There's an ambient light sensor on the right side of the HTC logo. If you angle your phone right in the light you can notice it....

Hah, you're right... I just tested it too, I turned the corner lamp on in my room but the button lights kept lighting up when I waked the phone... I walked up to the lamp, waked the phone up while it's facing me, buttons light up, wake the phone up while it's facing the lamp, buttons don't light up. I'm not sure I would've noticed that if I hadn't read thru this thread, heh.
Anyone know a way to turn these off for good? It's a bit annoying/distracting when watching a movie in low light...
i have a tilt 2 im running xdandroid the two led lights next to the ear speaker wont go of the green on will stay light up and it alternate between orange
That's normal. See the Project Android FAQs:
My Notification LED is always on?
Current state of the Notification LED is more for diagnostic purposes. It isn't functioning yet for true notifications. It is more for diagnostics right now from my understanding to let you know that the phone is in sleep mode. If the light isn't Green when sleeping then it hasn't ran it's power collapse mode and it is draining your battery. I get an occasional Flash from Green to Orange and I assume it is when the phone wakes up to check things like mail etc. But otherwise it is Green all the time the phone is sleeping. Which is good!

If you have a Tilt 2, then you only have "ONE" notification LED. That is to the left of the ear piece.
You also have a proximity sensor, which is on the right of the ear piece. The proximity sensor should never show any type of light.
Anyone having a issue where their keyboard doesnt always light up? or it stays lit, then shuts off?....is it sensor reactive? to light? iunno. my keyboard doesnt light up all the time.
Same issue here

It seems to me to be a sensor oriented thing. In dark it lights up no problem but when in a room with light it shuts off to conserve battery? Very interesting htc.

The light sensor is in the very very top left of the screen. When you have the keyboard open and are in a well lit room you might accidentally be reaching over the light sensor, making it think it's dark again, and therefor powering up the keyboard backlight again until you move your finger. You can solve this problem by rooting and installing Cyanogenmod RC1 which gives you complete control over all your backlights.
Agree with jark99. Looks like it depends on light sensor. In the dark environment keyboard lights up every time.

Want to know what's even cooler with that light sensor? When I hold my phone to my ear, the screen goes off. When I take it away, it turns back on. That's pretty darn cool. However, yes, it's all dependent on the light sensor. I've had a few times when I wanted to light on and it didn't, but that's rare. I kinda like that when I need it on its on, but not when I don't. Every bit of battery is important when it comes to my phone, but there hasn't been a large problem with it not coming on here on this end.
I'm not sure if the vibration is working on my phone, or not. I have haptic feed back on, and the vibration sensitivity set to the far right. I have also set the vibration on key press to on, as well. I'm not able to feel the vibration at all. I just want to know whether the vibration is strong on the phone, or whether it's very weak, due to the thinness of the phone.
Also, I've noticed my notification led does not light up. Watching some videos of the phone, it shows the led lit up in the upper right corner. I can see the spot for the led when I angle the phone certain ways, but it doesn't come on when charging, or when I get notifications.
I did buy the phone used, and it looks like it may have been dropped a couple of times (screen is in perfect shape, but the outer rim of the phone has marks on it, on the corners), and am thinking maybe the led and the vibration may have been casualties of these falls.
Everything else is fine, and I'm used to not having a notification led, since the Nexus S didn't have one, but I miss the vibration when I type, or get a phone call/text/email/etc.

I'll assume you are on a stock, or stock-ish (Calkulin's for example) ROM.
The vibration is definitely noticeable, and you should be getting LED notifications.
I would suggest possibly using ODIN and going back to the stock rooted ROM or flashing one of the fine ROMs in the development sub-forum and see if that improves your problem.
I can see why the vibration function would break -- dislodged vibrator motor. As far as the LED is concerned, there should be no reason why the LED doesn't work under normal circumstances.
Hope this helps!
I should add that I'm using sfhub's stock rooted EL29 rom. I am currently not running a custom recovery at this time.
I had the same problem, backed up, but before I restored to stock, I went into the clockwork and selected the, "fix permissions" been fine for almost two weeks.

All I have to input on this is, the vibration of this phone reminds me of my sonic toothbrush. It's Hella strong. If you cant feel it or hardly feel it you have issues.
So strong my gf likes it more than me.. Yikes!

Hi All!
Just got my OneX yesterday.
All was great until nightfall came and I've noticed that the keys aren't lighting up.
The light sensor works fine, and when I plug the charger the buttons light up, but when I unplug the phone, even in a very dark room - no light...
I saw there were a few posts on this subject before but with no conclusion.
Anyone else encountered this / knows what to do?
Thanks
Eyna
I find this only happens when the battery drops below a level and Powersave kicks in? How charged was the battery?
It happens at all levels.
When i go to *#*#3424*#* and do Led test it sometimes works qnd sometimes dont, so its not lamp issue.
Any ideas?
Do tour buttons light up every time you cover thé light sensor (the same way the brightness is reduced)?or is it inconsistent?
Anyone?

Try texting yourself?
I'm fairly sure the leds light up when you receive an SMS or something.
Texting didn't work...
I know the led works, its just that it doesn't work systematically. I can be in a pitch dark room and not have the buttons light up, and I can be in a dimmed light room and have them lit.
My questions is if you guys have the same issue, or does your buttons light up every time its dark?
Appreciate all you help!

I'm running a custom ROM so the LEDs behave differently anyway. Can't remember what they were like on Stock (didn't run stock for very long)
