Can anyone please help me.
I got my mrs a wildfire and the 4 touchscreen buttons on the bottom of the screen are really annoying me .... y dont they light up when i use the screen ?
Is there a way of getting them to light up during the daytime or do they only work at night?
Looking forward to yr help
I don't think there is anyway of doing this on stock rom or any sense rom but if your using cm7 then you can manually adust light level sensors to make the buttons light up. If your using cm7 the settings can be found,
Settings,cyanogenmod settings,display,automatic backlight,use custom (enabled) edit other levels.
You'll find the buttons settings down the right hand side start at 255. Down the list they then revert to 0 . Simple explanation is left side is threshold so when light sensor reaches x then buttons will light. So if you want permanent button lights change all values on right to 255.
P.s don't start moaning about battery afterwards though lol.

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
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

Hey there,
my screen was broken and i fixed it by myself (i had no warranty anymore, so...)
Screen is working well now, but the keys on the bottom won't light up.
Anyone has experience with that and could give me a tip, what i could do?
Thanks,
Prexx
I am using Miui, and there are settings to manually calibrate brightness levels and key light levels. You should check that out
My first guess is that you somehow accidentally might have disconnected a cable which leads to the lights. You might want to open it up again and recheck all connections.
check if its a hardware prob or software try several roms of the same results i suggest u fixe the light prob in any htc center
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

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)
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?
