[Q] Soft keys backlight not working - HTC Wildfire S

Any ICS or JB Rom I have/had on WFS so far has this problem. When it's dark I can't see home, menu, back and search buttons because they don't light up until I go to settings>brightness and then move the slider. What is the fix for this does anybody know?

Having these exact same problem. Any known fix?

it's not bug.just you need to on it manually.
go to settings>display>brightness>custom brightness and set first level to 255.
(not sure about path but you just need to high level)

I think he's talking about autobrightness

When I go to Display > Brightness I can move the slider left or right, there is no "Custom brighness anywhere" or levels eather. I'm using 4.2.2 Nameless ROM.

There are Automatic backlight options, I experimented there but nothing lit up soft buttons.

Settings>display>automatic backlight>edit other levels.
In the buttons column set the first two values to 255 and then tap save & apply..
Remember it will only work when autobrightness is on!
Hit that "THANKS" button if i helped you...

Never even realized this. But surely them not lighting up is a good thing? Might save a few seconds off your battery!
But as i've held my wfs for over a year now, I know where to put my finger for the appropriate soft-key, so the lights aren't really needed

[Q] Any way to permanently disable/turn OFF the H,M,B,S capacitive lights??

I would LOVE to permanently disable the lights of the capacitive buttons. I hate the lights behind the Home, Menu, Back, Search buttons and would like to permanently disable them.
Please and thank you!

How did you do this? You can change the color of the buttons? I'm on the "Light sersor levels screen" in CM6.1.2 but different values don't do much. 0 under "buttons" turns them off like xjackofall said, but a different color would be nice.

Sounds like a hardware thing.
I wonder if he did the led's at the top too?
That'd be cool....
I've ruined two evo's trying to get it to wirelessly charge

Thank you!
That application in the market just kept asking for permission via superuser. If I act fast i can sneak into the program and disable the lower leds but it's always asking permissions.
Any fix?

I want to use a sense rom but I don't know how to disable the lights on them but on cm7 I just go in the settings and turn them off. Aosp is the best since I have light leakage under the buttons

CM9 & touchkey/softkey backlight

Alright, hopefully I'm just being a 'tard and not looking in the right place. I took my phone from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 last night, and I have allllllmost everything set up the way that I want it. The only thing that's missing it the backlight for the four softkeys (menu/home/back/search). I want them to stay lit whenever I have the screen on. I've searched, but all the threads that I turned up were people that couldn't get them to turn off!
Can anyone point me in the right direction, or is it something I just need to get used to?
Thanks,
n1n00b
Its a bug, sometimes they turn on sometimes they don't. I hardly pay attention to them anymore as I've gotten used to it

happens to me off and on. Pretty common actually, not a big issue to me since at this point we should have the layout memorized

This is a known issue. They won't work when the screen comes on initially.
If you leave the screen untouched for about 5 seconds, they will come on when you touch the screen. You can also get them to come on by adjusting brightness. They will work until the screen turns off.

Not quite what I meant... I'm referring to the fact that, once they /are/ lit, if you don't touch the screen for a few seconds, they turn off. I want them to be on as long as the screen is on. You can set this to happen in the OEM TouchWiz OS, but not with CM9.

same thing with the screen brightness... it's not as bright as it is with stock rom when you dont have power saver enabled..

I think I misunderstood. I thought you wanted them to stay on when the screen is on. The directions I gave you do that on mine. What was it you want the keylights to do exactly?
Personally I think the screen brightness is actually too bright except in when out in bright daylight.

[Q] Turn off backlight keys LED's?

I just want to use the Nav Bar in AOKP, instead of the hardware keys. I figured out how to disable them, I just cant turn off LED. Is there a way to do it, but still let it work for notifications?
Here you are my good fellow. Hope this is what you're looking for

Change the custom Backlight settings in display to have 2 settings one on all 0 and one at 100 and then put it into auto bright and lock phone till deep sleep and turn on and there you go

oh i was completely confused by your thread. But in aokp i believe you have to create a shortcut to it on your home screen. In CM10 its under advanced in the settings menu.
Sorry i cant remember, i dont use aokp.
In AOKP JB, the easiest option is to go to settings, device options, sensors, and uncheck "enable keys backlight."

[Q] Is it possible to turn off capacitive button lights? [Solved]

It bothers me when I'm playing games on the phone and the bottom lights come up all the time. Is there an app that can turn the lights off for me?
Or is there a tasker program that will allow me to turn it off? Any help is appreciated!

If you are on cm10 then settings and device options and sensors and back light de-check the box.

Thanks! Worked perfectly. Guess I should've messed around with the settings a little harder :facepalm:
On the other hand is it possible to keep the capactive buttons on the whole time as long as the phone is on?

You mean permanent?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Yes there are settings for it that keep them on shorter or longer. My wife's relay uses this same setting to control the backlight on the slider keypad as well!
Look in DISPLAY and see if there is "touch key light duration" I have stock rom (actually wicked, based on stock) and I have 1.5 (default), 6, off, on as the 4 choices.
Yea permanent as long as the screen is on though! Thanks for replying man but I'm on CM10 that rom has a slightly different configuration.

No don't think so. Might be an app for it or mod with in the forums, maybe elesbb can jump in, he knows how to write code for such a thing I think.
