Hi,
like the title suggests the back-light for the softkeys do not turn on, is this a common problem? and is there something I can do about it?
the keys itself work and I don't know if this is related but the trackball is also red all the time.
Any help would be great thanks
kind regards
i don't know what rom you are on or if even rooted, but you can try this if possible--back up first

also there were some steps to cycle your auto/brightness setting on/off with powering down in between cycle--forget exact steps
may be other reasons--not sure

all,I am using CM 4.1.11.1 with Community Hero Theme.
I know the reason for draining my battery but I don't know how to solve it, can any one help?
issue:
When you press phone END button to keep th ephone in SLEEP mode,
- Phone goes to SLEEP mode and the Screen light is OFF.
- But, the Light on Physical keyboard is not switched off some times.
To see this, Get into a dark room and press END button to keep the phone in SLEEP mode.
Once the Phone is in SLEEP Mode,Do not Slide your Keyboard, Keep as it is and observe the Light from space between Slider and keyboard.
(I observed while I was sleeping..my phone was off but there was some light coming out)
I think this is not happening all the times but I have seen it many times and it is draining my battery.
To solve this, I use to open the Slider Press END button and make sure the lights or OFF and close the Slider.
Has any one observed this? can any one tell me how to solve this?
Is there a way to disable and enable the back light of Keyboard?

i understand that you are using your phone alot, as most all of us do, but how many times do you open and close your phone that this is a problem?
i usually close the keyboard, press home, press end and all lights shut off. hope this helps.
palosjr, yes I do the same. But as I said it doesn't happen all the time.
Also, it happens only with CM 4.1.11.1. I am not sure what ROM u have.
search market for backlight off. I have a bronze G1 and I prefer the kb backlight never come on at all so I use this.
Thanks man.
Finger....thanks a lot dude.
I was exactly looking for the same....
I really appreciate your info.
Here is the exact app name.... "backlight off"
Hello everyone, this problem happened randomly yesterday. So the power button doesn't work at all when it worked fine before, and the LED charging light is now always green and always on. Also, when I remove the battery and put it back in, the phone automatically turns on! So, does anyone know what the heck is going on here? I don't think it's a ROM problem since i've been using my current ROM for the longest time (Kang-o-rama with CM6). If anyone has any clue or hints, please share! I'd like my N1 to work again Thanks!
That is definitely your power button that died on you...I've read you can turn the phone on by charging and taking out the battery then putting it back, I guess it works for you.
Maybe you could try another ROM/kernel to see if the battery led issue gets fixed...can you turn the screen off with the power button or what?
Nope, I can't use the power button at all. Can't turn off the screen, haha, so I have to wait until it times out.
Well then, there's your problem
I highly suggest you use a sleep widget for the sake of your battery and you probably are using trackball wake anyways I guess ^^
sigh, all right. so what do you think i can do to at least get rid of the constant green light?
Actually, I can't find that sleep widget you were talking about. Can you show me one on the market or somewhere? Thanks!
I use one called Lockscreenwidget. You can find a version that has simply changed the icon here: Link. I changed the icon to suit my own purposes (You can see in the screen shot thread) but if you'd like one made using your own icon gimme a buzz, it's easy enough to change.
Tried powering on the phone but the only thing that happens is the trackball turns on and glows red.
*Found out that the phone does turn on but the screen is just blank.
**Update - Flashed a new rom and now the screen is visible but have a problem with the trackball led staying on while the phone screen is on. When I press the power button to lock the phone the led turns off.
Someone help please
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
kind regards
Most likely it's a HW problem in your trackball, doesn't have anything to do with ROMs you flash. This problem isn't very common, but it occurs, and you can find documentation on it in the forum.
Not a HW problem
Can't be a HW problem, make sure you do a full wipe and then try the new MeDroid 1.4.2...

Maybe someone with the same problem trying to fix it smashing the head on the phone.
an appropriate first post--
Hello Everybody,
I've got a strange issue with my One: I purchased it to a friend 2 months ago, and from the beginning I saw that the capacitive buttons backlight was not working (it was ok for me, saw it with my friend before purchasing, and didn't want to send it in warranty for that).
I tested it also with HTCs test menu (*#*#3424#*#* in the phone interface) and they still didn't illuminate. But since last week-end, sometimes the buttons light up. When it's the case, their backlight works correctly, the brightness is automatically adjusted with ambient light level. But the buttons still don't light-up 90% of the time.
Does someone has an idea on what's going on?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards
Ludobal
More information needed
Is it a stock Rom?
Unlocked Bootlaoder?
Custom Kernal?
Have you tried a factory data reset?
Hi, and sorry, I should have specified all of that before.
I'm on stock ROM, rooted, and TWRP installed.
I already did several factory resets (didn't have the choice, I had some crashes after installing updates or after restarting the phone), without any change.
Thanks a lot for your help.

I am having the same problem as you. In the dark, when the buttons are supposed to light up, they sometimes do and sometimes don't. I've done a reset with no change.
I'm wondering if I need to send my phone in for repair. It's a stock 64GB Developer Edition on 4.1, with the exception of S-OFF.
Hello,
It's not specially a good news, but I'm glad I'm not alone with this issue... I didn't want to send the phone to repair only for this backlighting issue, but now I saw it work, I really wonder if I can find a solution somewhere.
Regarding the problem itself, just a precision: when the backlight works, if I use the phone for a few minutes (2 or 3), the buttons lights systematically turns off. It comes back (or not) after a short standby period.

When my lights work, they work properly, staying on when needed and turning off when they are supposed to.
Also, when you turn the phone on with the charging cable plugged in, the button lights blink as the phone is coming on. When the lights stop working, the button lights do not blink, so it could actually be a hardware issue.
When I try to change the volume for music while the screen is off a lot of the times the phone would not reflect this change until much later or when I turn the screen on, it's very annoying when it happens.
This is not a problem when the screen is on. I use ARHD for the most of the times and I went through (70.0-71.1-81.0-82.0) and the problem is still there, I don't think it's ROM related.
Anyone knows what's causing this? It's a weird problem that only affects the volume change while the screen is off.

Have you tried it with the stock rom?
Have you updated your firmware?
Do you have screen lock or saver installed?
