So i'm not really digging the timing on the backlights of the capacitive buttons. You know how on the SGS3, there's an option to set the duration for 3 seconds, 6 second or always? I'd like to do something similar. I can't seem to locate any apps or mods that would allow me to tinker with these settings. Anyone have any recommendations or solutions?
Thanks
I noticed yesterday that after 2 days with my phone , that the capacitive buttons do not light up when touched. Is that normal?

Maybe there's something i can do in the build.prop?

Yesterday i was looking for some app to notify me via LED about missed calls/other messages. Installed an app (don't remember app name) from Play store and immediately i observe that soft keys lit every time i touch the screen. It's very annoying. Problem remains same after uninstalling the app and today i flashed to V_10H but problem still exists.
Help me to resolve the problem also recommend any good app to notify the missed calls/messages.
Thanks
When the screen is on this is normal, but it happens when the screen is off also I think?
Just a guess, but try this:
Go to the soft key settings, set it to always on.
Then set your screen brightness on automatic.
Reboot and put the settings back to what you had first.
Reboot.
This helped with soft key light problems in V10F.

Thanks for response. I followed your steps..problem still exists.
This happens only when screen is on. I don't think its normal to lit soft keys when ever i touch main screen. I haven't noticed this until i installed app.
If it lit's up whenever i touch the screen doesn't it affect when i play games/seek video?

It's always been like this for my phone.. When the screen is on, and the soft key lights are out, if I then touch the screen again they light up.
You can either disable the soft key lights or enable them to light up constantly, like I do now.

very annoying feature..Why does it light up when i press screen? Do i have to turn on and off when i play games?
Hope dev's come up with a solution.
Thanks

I don't have apps that control screen light. I tired playing games like Bubble Words and light turns on every time when i touch screen. So i set lights to off always.
When the phone was new, i was on V_10e and i didn't have this problem. I installed some stupid app and it changed everything. I have upgraded to 10H but still problem exists and no way to prove that it worked earlier.
I don't get the logic behind lights on when i touch main screen.
Thanks
Seem to be having real issues at the moment with a lack of response from these buttons. Don't remember the phone being like it when I first got it in fact it seemed very responsive. I find now I am having to press the back button several times or even kind of having to slide my finger over the button to get it to resister. I can recall a previous phone of mine having a very similar issue, think it was the Sony erricson satio but really did spoil the operation of the phone.
Anyone else experience this?

Operation of the dock shortcuts is fine as is the sensitivity of the home screen, even with the screen protector on, it's just the back and home button.

There has been a few threads on this, seems like a common issue. However theyre apparently looking at a software update to improve sensitivity- https://twitter.com/htc_uk/status/319748247075819520
I can confirm it... Is that a software problem?

I'm having the same issue, which is starting to annoy me. Not sure whether these things get worse or not, but as my wife's hasn't got the same issue, I'm not sure it's software??!! Should we be asking for the phone to be changed???
Is there supposed to be vibration when pressing the soft keys? I'm not getting any vibration and it would go some way towards helping me with the responsiveness of the buttons.

This is a software issue in the kernel.. HTC or the XDA developers should have no issues fixing it

Agreed. It's more the lack of feedback that makes them difficult to use. I have the feeling that they are sensitive enough. The problem is that there is no feedback. You just don't know where the tap is registered.

Vibrations can be enabled through settings.
I have to use my thumb to use them, they don't register my finger at all, just so annoying, I would rather a home button like the GS2.

I have it set in "Settings" -> "Sound" -> "Vibrate on touch" but I still dont get any vibrate on soft key press.
Vibrations for the capacitive buttons are turned off if you have the power saver on, regardless if you've turned vibrations on via settings.
For some reason I'm getting a much better response from the Back and Home keys when I use nova launcher as opposed to the stock sense launcher.

Ah thank you, it's working for me now.
One of my only complaints about this phone is that the hardware back and home buttons are a bit small. If their tap targets extended to the screen edges from the HTC logo, all would be well.
Alas, that's not the case. So, to make up for this, I was curious if there was a way to make the phone vibrate when I tap these buttons. I seem to miss these, and tap twice or more, and sometimes, I'm just being impatient, but I don't know until it's too late, since the response isn't always immediate.
They seem to vibrate for me. I'm on viper Rom but pretty sure it did it before too. It is a rather faint vibrate but it's there.

Well, maybe my phone's just being dumb, but there is definitely no vibration here. It does vibrate on other functions, though.
Anyone else able to confirm?

Do you have power saver turned on? Power saver disables the vibration.

I picked up the note 3 yesterday and i have noticed that my capacitive buttons don't have any haptic feedback even though the setting is checked. Anyone else have this issue? Now the haptic feedback works on everything else including the keyboard. Just want to see if this is a common issue or not.

Just got my replacement note 4,not sure if old one did this,but when after having screen asleep when hitting power or home button to wake screen up the touch keys will sometime lightly blink once before coming completely on with screen,doesn't do it every time,it's a bit random,wondering if anyone else see's this flicker?
To test if you turn off touch key duration completely in display settings,and then turn screen off and back on u can see the touch keys still ever so slightly light up,at least on mine,just trying to figure out if normal or not.
