How to turn off capacitive back and home backlight - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I'm running stock sprint 4.3. Can't find any setting to turn off the back lights for the bottom soft buttons. Anyone have an idea? My reason is preference.

HTC TyTnII button problem

Only the direction buttons and center button do anything, and the center button brings up the start menu for some reason. Actually the other buttons don't do anything, but they get the buttons to light up. On the keyboard the arrow keys make the keyboard light come on, but nothing else and no other keyboard buttons work. Also, when the phone come out of sleep mode everytime it goes to the phone mode and enters EDFC and possibly other letters I'm missing. Touch Screen interface works fine.
When I turn on my backlight with power button its activating Push to talk. But during turn off no PTT is called.
I'm not even able to do hard reset. Coz my left and right soft keys not working.
My phone is HTC TyTnII. But I have been using AT&T Rom since few months without any problem.
I tried flashing with WWE Kaiser/o2 WM6.1 same is the problem.
ROM Version : 1.62.502.0
Radio : 1.27.14.09
WM 6.0

Try "Soft Buttons Light", get it from Play Store, when you would like to have the soft buttons permanently off...

Home and back button not functioning properly

Hiya guys,
My home and back buttons don't show any form of backlight. Also when I double tap my home button my recent apps don't appear. When I just press the buttons once, they work like normal. Is there any way to bring the buttons back to normal.
I have a rooted phone with the stock rom.
Thanks in advance

[Q] Back and Home buttons lit during Daydream?

I've searched a bit, but not able to find much... Sometimes when daydream kicks on (currently set to 'Clock-Night Mode' and 'while charging') the back and home buttons (sometimes just the back button only) are lit. The buttons being lit doesn't happen EVERYTIME, but often. And, I've not figured out any sort of pattern as to why (I first thought it was a new notification had been triggered {Nope.} or the battery was fully charged {Nope.}).
Any ideas? Running standard OTA 5.0.1, rooted.

Capacitive key lights don't show

On boot my Tab S2 wifi shows the Samsung logo, then flashes the back and task manager capacitive backlight, but then once booted the screen touch does not fire up the capacitive backlight as normal for say 1.5 seconds. I'm convinced they used to, and the leds are clearly working, but fail to operate as they should. In display settings there is no control option. Device is unmodified, stock. Any ideas?
For me, they light up when touched and when the power button is pressed. But not when the screen is touched; I don't think they have ever done that.
On my rooted T810 with deodexed ROM, there is a TOUCH KEY LIGHT DURATION option under DISPLAY under SETTINGS that can set be set to off.
That option is not available on your S2?
I have a brand new S2, and capacitive buttons do light up when I touch the screen. However, when on-screen keyboard is active, the lights stay off regardless of where I touch the screen.
Do you use power saving (not ultra power saving) mode? If so, they don't light up when you do.
Option does not exist
So, my options for Display does not have a control for controlling the display timeout, it is just missing. A complete reset of Tab to factory settings has resolved them not coming on when they are pressed. So now they work for say 1.5 seconds.
Stock WiFi 810, with no software installed that would impact these. So why do I not have the option in the settings/display menu? Weird.

The capacitive buttons are switched off if the power saving mode is ON. Samsung did not give the option to turn these buttons ON in the power saving mode. The touchwiz ROM seriously damages the Android experience. I don't know why Samsung could not keep the AOSP settings layout but instead bastardize it. Big time!!!
Samsung teams who work ON touchwiz ROM... guys please wake up.

get GalaxyButtonLights from play
it allows you to set the duration/on/off
works perfectly on my Tab S2 815 !!
You know what's even better than messing with the buttons?
Root your tablet.
Install GMD Gesture Control and set gestures for Back and Recents. (Much more comfortable than having to hit some small spot below the screen every time.)
Then disable Recents and Back buttons by making the following changes to the file
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl :
Prefix the following lines with a "#" (making them a comment instead of a command):
key 158 BACK
key 254 APP_SWITCH
Then restart device.
Another reason this is better: When you hold the device in landscape mode, you won't accidentally hit the Back or Recents buttons anymore.

Thanks good solution.
My sm-t819 capacitive keys don't light up when I touch the screen, but wife's sm-t813 does.
Normal figured it out. That's how my region version is.
