EVO Button LEDS not working

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!!

[Q] Droid incredible capacitive button lights?

Is their any way to turn off the capacitive button light on the droid incredible? I am rooted and am willing to install some zip files if I have to.
so your wanting to disable the leds lights for the bottom buttons of the phone? (phone menu back search?)
Are you wanting to disable them for good or just to be able to toggle them on or off?
in the market, free app. LEDS Hack. Latest version works great with the froyo builds. I turn off the notification icon as I don't' like it in the notification bar, too big. It warns that it might cause issues but I haven't had any in the time I've used it.
You can also control the notification light at the top too.
Yeah I want to be able to toggle them on and off. I'm rooted running skyraider Rom 2.5.2. Is their any way I can do this ?

Count another vote for LEDs Hack. I use my phone as an alarm clock replacement and it's great to be able to turn them off.

[Q] blink/pulse notification LED

I flashed the latest cm6.1 rc2 rom on my slide. I remember somewhere in the cyanogen settings there was an option to adjust the notification LED settings. Now my light just stays a solid orange whenever I get a text missed call or email. There's no blinking.
I would like to the led notification off.
I tried apps like blink. it doesnt work.
Can anyone tell me where the settings are now? or how to turn them off?
anyone know or have any idea?

I have never seen such an option, nor am I having your problem in CM6.1 RC2. I had a similar issue on a nightly build once, where when I turned the screen off it would go solid orange, but a reboot fixed it, and it never happened again. I suggest doing a wipe and reflash. Just to be safe I'd re-download the ROM as well.
The option was in older cm6 builds I was wondering where it was too

I've done a wipe and reflashed and still have that same annoying sold orange light

Trackpad light

Id like my trackpad to be constantly lit if I have a notification, instead of the fade in and fade out.
Would I have to edit lights.vision?

I like this idea. Going from my Nexus One to the G2, that's one thing I miss the most...even though the N1 flashed its trackball, it was much easier to see when I had a notification from across the room. With the G2, the trackpad light is so dim as it is, and when it flashes once ever couple seconds, its barely noticeable. If I had an option to keep it on, I'm sure it would help to get my attention.
Download LED me from the market and then when your in the setting for the duration go to custom and then hit OK which should make it stay lit when you have a notification. I don't have it installed so those instructions might not be exactly "followable"

Couldn't find LED me, but there is an app LED Me Know Beta, same thing?
UPDATE: Tried the app...this actually manipulates the tiny LED light under the speaker grill of the G2. The OP and I were talking about the light surrounding the trackpad of the G2. Thanks though.
Check compatability in settings, then under the notifications tab choose whatever notification you are setting up, then choose led color, then choose trackpad.

I tried LED Me Know, but it seems to drain battery a lot. Did anyone experience this?
LED Me Know does allow you to light up the trackpad. Go into the Notifications tab, then go into the specific app you want to notify you. Under LED color, choose TrackPad. You can make it blink or not, choose the rate it blinks, and choose whether to turn if off when the screen is on. The color is the only thing that you have no choice about because it's only a white light.
I love this app. Works very well on my G2. I haven't compared the battery life with/without it yet though. But turning the indicator's off when you turn the screen on would probably help. I really hope it isn't a huge battery drain. That would be a deal breaker.
Why the heck is Android so allergic to persistent popups anyway? Every old school phone in the world is in your face when you get a call/sms/email/voicemail/chat. But it's like pulling teeth to get the Android to yell at you when you have an alert.

Touch buton issue

Hello to all, I have a strĂ¢nge issue with my Desire hd. Specifically, the light on the touch buttons is on or off as it pleased, without any warning. The vibration is working but the buttons have no ilumination on them sometimes. I am running stock rom Android 2.2.
do you thin is a hardware issue? The phone sas never droped.

Nobody experienced similar problems with his DHD? I flashed an AOSP Rom (oxigen) and my problem isn.t gone. Now I see that when the light of the buttons turned off, the screen gets a little darker. The keys seems to go on or off as they please.

This probably because of the light sensor. If it's bright then of course the soft key lights will turn off, and if it's dark then well you can expect it to turn on. Try it out yourself. The light sensor is the black dot on the right side of your ear piece. Just cover it up and see what happens.
