My softbuttons have never lit up
I assume you're referring to the multitask and back buttons, yes they light up, every time I touch the screen (when not typing).

Thanks, but why wouldn't my buttons be lit at all?
And that app did not light my buttons even when I set it to always on.

Unless you did something to break it (you might try wiping), you might have a defective phone.
They are turned off during power saving mode. Is that turned on?

Thank you for the info. That's what it was. Power saving mode.

ok, has anyone else noticed this problem,
sometimes i switch my phone off to save battery and it will switch itself on in my pocket so i need to check every now and then to see if it is really off, however, the only way to switch the screen on is with the power button so if my phone was really off then i have to let it start up and switch it off all over again.
i'm going to have a look for a way to remap the buttons without root as i cant get unrevoked to work and i cant be bothered to go about it the long way
hmm im not sure if this is the same issue, but sometimes the keys on my desire are on with the screen being turned off, im not sure if it happens on its own or what, not a big deal really

I noticed this, it is very annoying!
What ROM are you using? I use DeFrost 2.3 and you can bring the phone out of standby by pushing the trackball button. A second push unlocks the phone.
I dont understand this. If the phone is on, a single short press of the power button will light the screen. If it's off, it needs a long press to turn it back on - therefore it's pretty easy to tell the difference

Mine is unmodified and i'm not planning on changing that until HTC stops issuing updates. Sounds like a good feature though, bit of an oversight on the phone that.

Yes, any sort of press turns the phone on.

Careful, it may burn the LED out if you keep it constantly on.
rofl. this burn stuff is constantly floating aroung and is still crap.
why do you think, they enable the led while charging? because it is likely to burn?
who ever brought that up .......

I agree, I think the only LED to be worried about having on for long periods of time is the SUPER BRIGHT Camera Flash LED. It's obviously a different LED than the charging/notification ones, and snudel makes sense when he says that it's enabled while charging.
snudel, do you have a link for this blue LED app? I don't even think I've ever seen the blue LED on my Desire glow, but it would be neat to have it lit when the phone is "awake".
Cheers!
you can download a blue led app here:

but don't know if this is the one that snudel uses (i think not)

If I get what you trying to say here, you can try button saviour(root), there is a screen off and other onscreen buttons features(back/home/menu/vol etc) that's quite handy too.
If thats an app bro sorry not the one im looking for..
Im looking for something to edit in the phone to make the screen off by pressing a custom button, e.i pressing the home twice and the screen is off. Press once and the screen is on.
The power button is too far, i mean my finger needs to jump there just to turn off the screen. If u get me bro..

umm i don't think there is a mod for such a particular and specific personal perference
There are tap to execute and similar app that make use of the Proximity sensor of the phone to wake up phone without having to press the power button.
Personally I only tried softpower.
Description
Turn screen OFF and turn screen ON without touch power button.
SoftPower will safe your physical power button by use Search button or notification to turn screen OFF(and lock) and use proximity sensor changing to turn screen ON.
Note:
-Proximity sensor on device is required for Turn ON function to work.
-To uninstall, do this first. Settings-> Locations & Security(or Security in ICS)-> Device Administrators then uncheck SoftPower.

ive been looking for this too, since ALL SCREEN OFF APPS dont make your phone go into deep sleep resulting into battery drain, only the physical power button can make you phone into deep sleep and auto idle i think, im looking for a shorcut not widget or app to mimic the physical power button so i can set it into gesture and alike to make my phone go into deep sleep
try cm10 fxp150, u can easily lock your screen from notification bar
If you install cm10 I'd recommend enabling the navigation bar and setting the back button long press to make your phone sleep. It's wonderful to use!

Hi, I don't remember if it has always been like this but when my softkey lights are on , they immediately turn off when I type, canceling the 6 second light duration.

Hmm, never paid attention before, but you're right, it's turned off immediately when you touch the keyboard. I guess they don't think it's necessary to have it on because the attention are in the keyboard anyway.

Does it turn on when you touch the screen then?
As soon as the keyboard is up, whether I touch the keyboard, or the text box, the soft key light turned off immediately, until I pressed the back button again.

Hi, my Note 4's touch key light no longer working. Well, it was working before, but I turned off and now I wanted to set it as 1.5 sec duration. Unfortunately, it seems to be not working anymore, I don't see any lights when I press the keys. :crying:
Make sure your Power saving mode is turned off.

Thank you mate. You save my headache without medication.
Lmao! Just noticed this too! Hahaha that's cool how power saving turns it off
No issues with my phone but I'm wondering is there a way to turn off the led on the back button and the other square button? That's my only issue. I don't like them turning on all the time. I can live with it turning on but I was just wonderin.
If you put it in medium power saving mode it will turn those lights off for you, among other things of course. I can't find a way to do this without enabling power saving mode.
Some carriers have removed that option from the settings. If that's the case with yours, as it is with mine, you can use the app Galaxy Button Lights 2 from the Play Store to turn them off. I'm using the app and it works great.
