I would think that there is only one light source, probably an LED. Typically with these things a clear plastic part routes light to the three buttons from a single source. I would guess that's a hardware issue and if it bothers you (it would me) send it back again.

Spot on. There is a YouTube video somewhere of how to replace the LCD screen, and there is a complicated task of lining up the light guides used for the three buttons, I suspect they just haven't done it very well.
It will not be a software issue.

if youre using a custom rom, it may be the rom?
thanks guys,iv only just had it back from being repaired,they put a new lcd and bezel,also new internal battery,they couldnt have lined it up properly as 2 of the buttons light up,just one doesnt and it is annoying,whats even more annoying is having to send it back again? could i play hell and demand a new phone for my inconvenience and being messed about?

i demanded a replacement, they agreed, but i had to send it off anyway, and wait for the replacement to be sent
they didn't send a replacement after all of that , they just repaired it again (properly though)

Hi, anyone having this issue? I found out that my has a dead pixel that keep lighting up.
I have also experienced this, just above the WiFi indicator. However, I've only seen it with the charger plugged in for some reason.

Everyone line up to feed the troll. Someone needs to do something about spam such as this. Hint.
On topic: I have searched my screen by using a fully black and fully white image, no dead pixels on mine, though there have been a fair amount of complains on here about them.
I do have some backlight bleed on the bottom right of my screen, though.
I just noticed there's a yellow spot on the bottom left corner. .. It shows only over white/ very light background.
Is that the backlight bleed? (I suppose it's not)
It's probably...

It's probably some adhesive.
If the pixel is blinking and still lighting and its not dead, probably because its unstable or something. Go google playstore download Pixelfixer and keep pressing on the scren to change color rapidly. The pixel will be fixed. Mine was fixed. Try it. Rmb to click the thank me button!!

Hi, yes the pixel keep on lights up. had tried the software mentioned, but for me the dead pixel is somewhere around the 3 dots menu bar. The app doesn't allow me to switch orientation therefore i am unable to test it out. Anymore advise ?
Dead pixel...
First, losing follow apologize for my English. I have also discovered a dead pixel, but in my case, image is dark or black screen (with your cell phone on course). I applied programs if a pixel is vague, but nothing. I applied a little pressure on the screen, as is recommended in other forums and nothing.
HTC Fault. Please attach photos.

That should be a light pixel, I'd sent my HOX for replacement due to a light pixel.
I have a Touch Pro2 Vodafone, but unlocked, and flashed with custom 6.5 ROM and it continually has the problem of the screen going blank and not coming to life.
I have tried Energy Rhodium 29022 and another ROM but both have the problem.
I guess it might be a hardware fault, but not sure really.
Any suggestions for fixing?
task29?
Does it "always" go to the blank screen, or is it intermittent?
Also, when you say going blank and not coming back to life - does this mean when the phone is rebooting? When it's off and being turned on? What are you doing that induces this behavior? Has the phone always done this? Have you tried the stock ROM?
You could also try remapping one of your buttons as a 'Power Management' button using the keyboard configuration to see if your power button is at fault. If all else fails, try flashing the shipped Rom to see if the problem continues. Good Luck!!
Sounds like a failed light sensor. Somewhere there was an app you could install that would display the sensor reading. If it was 0 then you had a bad sensor.

I want to say that there was. It wasn't the primary function of the app, but info you could get from it. It has been more than 6mo since I was fooling around with WM on the TP2.
I ran task29 before
Have tried three roms
Problem occurs e.g., today, blank screen, cannot activate, remove battery, try to turn on, get the buzzing sound which means it's turning on but still blank.
Press buttons, oops looks like I'm calling someone.
Phone still blank. Then get incoming call - it wakes up.
This happens regularly, blank and cannot wake up.
Usually charging it wakes it up.
Flash back to stock, if it's still occurring there it's probably a hardware issue. As was stated earlier, the proxy sensor is suspect for sure.

That really sounds like a bad sensor.
And the advantage to that is, if it is a bad sensor, you could always perform some surgery on your device and install a new screen & digitiser as I did on mine. I had a problem with a slightly rattly earpiece afterwards but I think it was something I did. Handily I was able to purchase a pre-built screen and digitiser as a single unit complete with ribbon cables, I just had to swap it out and reattach the various ribbon cables. Proximity sensor and LDR are all in the one unit above the screen... Which is quite useful as they're all tiny surface mounted components
If you don't want to invest money, and like android I think that FRX07.1 does not use the sensor. That build would let you use the phone as is.

Sounds like the proximity/light sensor in the lcd is dead.You can replace the ribbon cable with the sensor on it if you are good at repairing tech. Otherwise if you have to have it repaired it is just as cost effective to get a new to you phone. They are cheep.
There is a thread somewhere with an app which lets you see the readout from that sensor.
You could always try a hard reset, but I wouldn't bet on it fixing the issue. Only your data to loose though if you want to give it a try.

It could. Test it and find out.
Just wondering if when laying on desk do you have to lift the phone up every time to check messages.
Also how are the led notifications.

Double tap not yet.
LED notifications you can turn on (Settings -> Notifications -> Gear Icon -> LED option is there).
The LED is in the top speaker grill on the far left. I noticed this glow blue when new messages come in.
LED works great, I miss having it. No double tap of the screen or Raise-to-Wake which sucks a bit. However with the LED I don't miss it as much as I thought I would.

There are two LEDs. One is in the top speaker grill on the far left. I noticed this glow blue when new messages come in. Additionally, there another LED to the left of this on the bezel area that glows white when I get other notifications that aren't messages. I'm unsure if there are other colors currently.

Have you enabled the LED notifications in settings? It is disabled by default. You need to manually turn it on.
Double tap to wake is available with a custom kernel
I read from an extremely ( and I cannot over emphasize the word 'extremely' enough . . . ) reliable source that 'sweep to wake' is much more responsive and bug free.
.
I can remember tapping away on my nexus 6 and saying 'what the heck', . . . . and 'come on' . . . .
and then I went to the sweep thing and it was rock solid.
truth.
Maybe it'll be bundled in the next security update, hopefully early November

I doubt they are going to add it after the fact. I could be wrong but I just haven't seen them do that in the past so I'm skeptical.

I believe it's been (unofficially) confirmed by one of the pixel kernel engineers that it was pulled at the last minute but will return "soon"

I have enabled the LED, I get colored notifications from K9, SMS, etc.... I have yet to see any LED except the one immediately to the left of the earpiece speaker.
Could you point out where both are? I'm curious about there being two.... you sure you're not seeing the same one? The LED can produce a wide range of colors, including white.

Yeah LED when colored is really dim. White is super bright though.
Side note, I somehow managed to lightly scratch my screen in my pocket even though its Gorilla Glass 4. :/ I guess its super sensitive. Bought some Cerium Oxide on Amazon hoping that might buff out the scratches.
Sheesh I havent noticed the second led I see the one in the headset speaker but where is the second one? I am wondering if my defender case is covering if up

Hello,
I have one issue with this mobile. Every time I am scrolling black text on white background or white text on black background I see green ghost or green auras around the text. It’s quite annoying. Its help when I change color temperature to more red, pink or blue, but it’s not very satisfactorily solution. So, my question is: Is that normal for that kind of display or something goes wrong? Could next update of firmware help?
Thanks for any answers and sorry for my English.
I do not see this behaviour on my phone... could it be a HW issue? Or something to do with the display resolution settings? I have left all display settings at their defaults.
My problem with display was solved by new update B130, but I have one more but smaller - I think that my touchscreen is not that sensitive it should be. Sometimes there no response on tap.

Looks like a hardware issue. Your phone must be still under warranty so you can take advantage of that.
