Only in the dark, if you cover the light sensor in the front (top left corner), they will turn on after a few seconds.

Thanks.

cover the 2 sensors on the top left with a piece of folded paper or something, do they light up?
Ah yes .. I'm sat under a bright light doooh thank you
Thought my home and back was faulty . It sometimes is less responsive than other times (double tap to get multi apps ) but I'm presuming that's a software glitch

Others are reporting issues with the buttons sometimes not responding, not sure if it's a software glitch, or just a small footprint for the buttons, ie you have to press right on the button and not in the general area if you know what i mean.
Cool I'll relax then and stop worrying my phone is faulty. Big thanks

I would monitor how you go with pressing the buttons, it may be a glitch, but i know when i'm using mine, i am often off the button when i press it, being used to the One X for the last year, the buttons are further to the edge, so automatically i have been pressing further out than the actual buttons are.
I always turn mine off. Just saying lol

The capacitive area is in fact VERY small. Just barely bigger than the Home and Back icons themselves. Precision touch is required and is why I suspect some think its not responsive

I use an app called keyboard backlights from play. Works great but recently in occasions they come on anyway. They are off 80% of the time though. Can only do if your rooted btw

Try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39498430&postcount=7
Seems that the One has very small area of touch for buttons, so probably not software problem.
Turn on vibrate and you will realise how small of an area we have .. seems the way it's been designed and not a bug . Vibrate assists because you know when your missing now don't have the issue

Anyone know how/if it's possible to keep the back and home button lit when the screen

Button lights.

This maybe a silly question.
But my lights for back and home only come on certain tines. Are they not meant to be on all the time?
I can't even replicate what I did to make them turn on.

they come up when you are in dark places
Genius. I was in a well lit room and I was getting hit and miss regarding that. But as long as my lights are not malfunctioning all is well.

Another noob question

I only got this phone yesterday and I was wondering if the 2 buttons with side of the HTC logo should light up?
Mine don't light up and there hard to see in the dark...
I tried finding a setting but I can't see anything.
Thanks for replies

Yes they should light up when the phone is in use
They do light, but not at any time. I Guess it has something to do with the auto-brightness-sensor... So if it dark it'll turn on the button lights

HTC ONE M7 Battery/No LED

Hi
So I have my one m7 and someday it went off and I bet it was just low battery energy but when I'm plugging it to charger there's no LED sign of charging like it was everytime and my phone doesn't even power on.
Charge for 30 minutes
If led not back
Try with spot light on the light sensor
And turn on phone

use of light on the proximity sensor while pushing the power button (with or without the volume down button)
