So I didn't notice this until I went into a darker room, but the function buttons (menu, home, back, and search) stay dimly lit even when the phone screen is off. Is there some ICS setting I need to adjust? Any help would be appreciated.
I haven't seen or heard of anything like that (settings). So I would adventure to say you have a bad flash, or your using an app / mod that is causing it. Aside from that all I can think of is a phone going south.
GL!
Turns out it was a bad flash! Back to normal again

Is anyone else having this issue as well I can get rid of it I've tried everything to what happens is sometimes when my phone is asleep tonight wake it up it's completely unresponsive, the screen turns on but I can't do anything other than hit the power button on and off and volume other than that I am stuck on the same screen. Also when I wake up in the morning after charging my phone overnight it is always frozen like this but even worse when it has been more than a few hours. Could this be related to using an alternative home? I have used both launcher pro and adw with the same results. I have never had this with any of my other android phones. Any ideas?

Take it to Verizon and get a switchout.
Before I do that I would like to make sure that it isn't software based otherwise I will just run into the same issue.

I haven't experienced that issue, but something similar. About once every 2 days my phone won't wake at all. The notification light seems to be working, but pressing the power/lock button doesn't wake the phone, screen stays black and I have to pull the battery. If I call the phone while it's in this state, nothing happens on the Bionic's side, but the phone I calling from hears 4 rings before going to voicemail. I've uninstalled Widget Locker and Home Switcher to see if either of them are the culprit.
awesome, thanks
I would do a factory rest and see if it was a software problem first.

Do you have in pocket detection on under settings? Try turning that off. I was having major issues like that when I was using that setting.

Good advice, the pocket sensor on this phone is borked.

Successfully installed gingervolt. But after some time of setting things up I noticed the bottom buttons on the phone are not lighting up anymore. I'm not sure what could have caused this. Can anyone please help me figure this out? Thanks

Temporary fix, turn off auto brightness. Doesn't always hold apparently.

Thanks for the advise. It all of a sudden worked for me this am before i read all the other people having same issue. thanks.
Happening to me on stock, not yet rooted Gingerbread too, just this morning in fact. It's not GV's fault.

Might be related to proximity sensor
Had a bout where the soft keys lights did not come on. Anyone notice that this rare issue seems to happen when using phone in dim or unlit room? I was in a dark room and the lights went out on my revo so I held my phone up to my pc screen and the lights came back on. Could this be related to a issue with the sensor?
Mine behaves the same way. I turn it on in the dark and the keys stay off until I hold it up to a light source, or put the phone up to a mirror with a bright screen on.

Sensor causing soft key light issue?
So I guess the stock GB or GV1.2 is not responsible for soft keylight issue? Hardware related?
Glad someone else correlates this to the sensor. Fantastic ROM GV 1.2, works well.
I never had it happen on stock zv4, Decrap 1.1, or Revolt. I am on stock zv7 Gingerbread and have heard of others too. I think it's the OS, Gingerbread, where the problem lies.

That was exactly it for me as well, everything has been fine since I rooted, then all of a sudden the soft keys stopped lighting up. Tried everything I could think of, but yes I am in a dark room, as soon as I did the above it started working again for me.
The problem came up right after changing the color to the progress bar with zipthemer and cwm.
Either way seems fine now that i gave it some light. No idea what actually caused the problem.
Hey on my Xperia Z stock rom nothing flashed, when it is in standby (screen off) randomly the screen glows and does not stop, like the screen is still off but it's like the back light has come on? is this normal? seems to be a power wasting thing to me. unless i look at it from a slight angel (during the day) i can not actually tell it's on, i'm assuming this is why my screen is using 60+% of my battery is there a fix for this?
Are you using any power saving mode?

Stamina mode.
I have the exact same thing happen, and it is definitely a pain as like you say you can only notice it when looking at an angle, and as I have a flip case on mine I only notice while charging. It is just a case of pressing the power button twice to turn off but that is obviously only when you notice it's doing it! lol
I use stamina mode on mine (which is great) but not sure if this is anything to do with the backlight being left on as it only does it sometimes?
I had this issue when i first got my phone ,and not anymore.Not sure how it solved cause i did lot of factory reset and flashing firmwares.
Are you using light flow or any third party apps?
Sent from my C6602 using xda premium
I get this too. I get it when it's locked and it comes back on. Also when I unlock the screen sometimes this happens and I have to turn the screen off and on again to fix it.
Happening here also but not often. I thought it was low battery mode but happens when it's disabled as well.

No i'm not using any third party light apps, seems like this may be an actual bug if multiple people are experiencing it
I have only done one reset/repair to fix the LED notification light bug.
Hope this helps
I know how to fix this. I have an xperia z1 so im not sure if my problem is the same but i use my phone as an alarm so i notice at night the screen is glowing while its standby. If you go to settings or maybe you have it in quick settings go to brightness and deactivate "adapt to lighting conditions" then it should be a black screen woth no glow in standby mode
Are the hardware navigation buttons not supposed to light up? I get that you could potentially use them by feel in the dark but i never even considered they wouldn't be back lit when i purchased it. If they can light up, where is the option to turn them on?

They do not light up. They also do not move or change. Menu, home, back. Took me a few years but I finally have that memorized, sometimes I can even remember in the terror of the inky black of night.
Edit: Wow just reread this post sorry for the unnecessary sarcasm, been a rough day. But no they don't light up, there is no way to make them light up, but it's never given me a problem and I've never heard anyone else have issues with it

Thank you. Guess I'll just have to learn. I guess I could just use on screen nav if it bothers me that much.

Yes
Just noticed, the blue light filter takes a few seconds or more to engage after screen is brought back from standby mode. Pretty irritating.
Example viewing a page within Samsung browser, screen times out ( has to time out )then I press the home button to turn screen back on, blue light filter is off now for a good few seconds or unless I go into the settings screen.

Mines instant also, just not instant when waking the screen with the home button after it times out.

I thought it was just me. I looked around to see if anyone else was having it in other threads but I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue. Mine is really delayed that I need to turn it off and turn it back on. Sometimes I wait over a minute til it activates so I just end up having to toggle it off and on since it's faster... Unfortunately

I have this issue. Also, even with blue light filter turned completely off, it still engages at dark. Anyone else?

What you have could be Google books issue that you have , it's been discussed on here in the past. It's complete different to what my issue is
