Hello!
I just switched from HTC Hero to HTC Wildfire S
Is there any ROM or App that lights up the hardware buttons permanently?
I know that they are linked to the light sensor. But in low-light conditions I really can't tell where the buttons are

Hmm, don't know if there are any apps. But I'm sure the light sensor works perfectly when it comes to seeing the soft buttons..
Welcome to the WFS forum anyway.
Well for me the light sensor does not work properly here. I cannot see the buttons dusky in light conditions
Try screen filter it has options for turning on the button lights.
When u Start the program it'll dim ur screen then click it's settings in notification bar and adjust the slider to set the dimness and select the option to light up the buttons.
Not sure what u mean by permanent but just try it out and give a thumbs up if it helped
Hi! Screen Filter does not work even thought I selected the option for light up the buttons
By permenent I mean: I want the hardware buttons to light up always when the display is on.
Isn't. That the. Default case?
My buttons. Are always lit when. My display. Is on
Edit: using cyanogenmod 7.2
Maybe this will help

Is there a way to lower the brightness of the Menu buttons below the screen? I have found an app called Screen Filter that can turn the LEDs for those buttons off completely but I would rather just turn down the brightness. Also, can these be used for notifications somehow? I am on CM7.1 btw.

It's just on or off for the buttons.

Hmmmm, was afraid that was gonna be the case. Oh, well. Thanks.
I really hate how the capacitive buttons are so bright, is it a way to fade them? please help!
i dont think there's a way to reduce brightness in the capacitive led's. You can adjust the time-out from 3 to 1.5 seconds... but that's about it.
i know how you feel, especially when im using the kindle app in night mode, the capacitive button slight up every time i touch the screen or turn the page, and despite the screen being on minimum brightness, everytime the capacitive lights come on, they blind me. I have since resorted to physically turning off the capacitive backlight completely when im using the kindle app.
if there is a way to reduce the brightness on them, i'd also love to know about it.
I think the only solution is wait for a developer to modify that with a diferent kernel script, meanwhile Im using Screen Filter app to disable the soft-keys light, its not perfect but my eyes are resting now lol, I hope a nice developer see this thread and try to come out with a better solution.
CM7 has a capacitive button dimmer if I'm not mistaken

im running juggernaut 3.7 and in "display" there is a "touch light duration" option for always off.

I saw it but I dont think CM7 is ready for a daily driver rom and I dont know if its actually a dimmer to lower the light or just to activate it as notification lights
Anyone know?
Left of the HTC logo above the screen. It is also where the proximity sensor is.
If you call someone, take a look at the front of your phone. You will see a steady red glow from the top left of your screen, this is where the proximity and ambient light sensor are housed.
It helps if you angle the phone, you can see that there is almost like a rectangle hole in the paint behind the glass

If you want to easily see it, enable Face Unlock, then try to unlock your phone in complete darkness, you will see that little red light comes on to the left of HTC logo.
That light seems to be permanently on after I had a viber call. Any ways to turn it off
Edit.: the cause was NotifierPro. Fixed it.

"settings --> display and gestures --> sleep" and there you can set the time for turning off the display

Dear Sir!
Do you mean the sensor activated during a phone call? My HTC one X last time has an abnormal behavior when I place a phone call. Normally when you move the phone away of hear it should turn on the screen back light so you are able to hang up the phone call. But my phone still be black after moving away from the hear so I need to push power button to activate the screen back-light and than hang up the phone call. Could somebody help me out on this issue? Any kind of help shall be much appreciated.
Best regards
Fredi
Don't know whether anybody else has experienced this with the one V yet but i can't get the capacitive buttons to light up during use in a darker environment unless I cover the sensor with my hand. I have checked the settings but cannot find a control for this as yet. Does anybody know whether these buttons can be controlled. I know they are haptic and that at least is something but if you're like me I am finding it a bit tough using the V in a darker room. I wonder if the X or S has this issue, does anybody know?
Partial fix
I have been playing with the settings and specifically the display brightness settings. I can get the capacitive buttons to eventually light up but only if the brightness is set to auto. I think HTC should allow users to have the buttons on or off independent of the sensor. This would be a great additional setting I think.
Anyway....thoughts?
I have had the phone for a week now and am reasonably happy with it but there are a few nagging annoyances that I've discovered so I was hoping that someone might have a solution.
1. The capacitive button back-light is useless as currently implemented. they light up after one has been pressed for about a second and then go dark again. Is there a way to have them be lit up any time the screen is on?
2. The screen automatic brightness for some reason in a dark room will go to minimum and then after a few minutes will increase the brightness to maybe 50%. I can turn off the auto brightness and turn it down manually but in auto mode it won't go back down to minimum for several minutes.
+1 on both. Hope it's addressed with one of the next updates
3. Maybe an android issue, but in manual brightness mode, the first 5% of the brightness slider is mega sensitive, while the rest does almost nothing...
Why can't it be more linear? Lol

This automatic brightness issue has been on oneplus x from day one and seems like oneplus 3 also has it. They did not fix it even after 8 months, I hope they fix it on oneplus 3. Create ticket for that so that oneplus is aware.

OTA update has since fixed the auto-brightness issue, but the backlights on the capacitive keys still only stay on for seconds. Has a mod (root/xposed/etc) been created to address this at all? I'd also love for them to remain on as long as the screen is on (and I want to remain on OOS)

Yes, you can use GravityBox Xposed module to keep button backlight on.

Thanks! Worked great
Has anyone noticed that the left side capacitive button backlight is slightly dimmer than right side capacitive button backlight..? In oneplus 3t..
Like there is a small difference in their brightness intensity between the left ans right capacitive button backlight..

Most likely the effect of positioning of the LEDs rather than their intensity.
I leave mine off all the time. I know where the spot is and prefer not to have a bright led shining
