* I guess i should be more specific. I know that the keyboard lights according to the display brightness. But even if i turn it all the way up, it doesnt light. I need it to...
Sometimes if your keyboard/soft keys don't light up if you shut the screen of with the power button and then unlock it the lights will come back on. I've had this happen before it's just a little glitch

What he said. Mine does this most after reboots. Just turn screen off and on and it should start working again.

Sometimes I want to turn the screen off temporarily to save power while using navigation. Now when I use the power button to turn the screen off, it only turns off for a second, then pops back on. This only is happening in navigation mode - screen will stay off otherwise. Any ideas?
I'm on Orange Glacier with the latest faux123 kernel...tried fixing permissions.
Same thing happens to me. I haven't bothered to check though. Maybe it is made to stay on in Navigation mode.
Check settings in navigation app probably made so you wont accidentally turn it off while driving then have to fiddle with it and risk a crash

Well my bad I guess. It looks like this is how it operates stock too...I could have sworn I was able to turn the screen off during navigation in the past, but must not have been able to.
I have checked and no such setting in default navigation for screen on and off.
I was just guessing I have a seperate GPS and only use nav when I'm in someone else's car and they're lost lol

Same thing happening here since recent update. It's not ROM-dependent, and I haven't figured out how to disable it.
I don't mind if screen timeout is disabled, and actually prefer that, but in this case I'm pressing the power button to turn the screen off and it repeatedly turns back on immediately.
Anyone know why my hardware button lights don't turn off?
Bump
Noone knows? :/ Still a problem for me.
I had this problem once, but it only happened if I had the camera running and then pressed the power button to lock the phone ..idk

Yea...started happening to me a few days ago. Try totally disabling the lock screen, and see if it stops. If it does, you can enable it again. Are you using the regular slider lock screen? That's what I was using when it happened. I used face unlock for almost 2 days, and it never happened. I'm not running any lock screen now that I'm home, and its fine. Its just weird that it randomly started happening...I've never used a third party lock screen or even messed with the default settings for it to happen.
Yeah im using the stock lock sliders. I'll play with the lock sliders tonight when I get home and see how that goes.

So I discovered this purely by accident.
I've picked up my phone at night a few times and have blasted myself in the eyes with the light of my camera. It acts light using the widget to toggle it to act like a flashlight. Thinking my phone bugging out I thought nothing about it. But after the 5th time I decided it was a built in feature.
After much trial and error, I have these results:
With your phone on and screen timed out (turned off), press volume up and power at the same time. The screen should turn on, as well as the light on your camera.
To turn off let the screen time out, or press power to turn it off. Then press volume down.
Now I do not know how it works on mine but not my wife's note 3. I'm running stock Rom rooted with no mods.
I will try and figure out how I have this working, but any insight would work too.
Does anyone else have this feature?

I know Wanam Xposed has a feature for using volume up while the screen is off to turn on the flashlight, maybe that's it.

Well we're on this topic. I'm stock rooted on mje. What's the best way for me to add the flashlight function to my phone? I miss having that feature as I've had it on the last 3 phones I've owned.

The post above yours should do the trick. If you're talking about a toggle from the notification bar, I think it is built in most custom ROMs.

When I power up the phone the screen will flash for a second and goes dark, all the lights on the bottom buttons comes on and I feel the vibration but the screen won't turn back on. I also noticed that pushing the center button will turn the lights on and off of the bottom buttons, can not turn the power off the phone with the power button.
Any ideas?
Did you mess with brightness settings recently? I had a similar problem once after I edited the framework-res.apk file to lower the autobrightness levels, and set it too low. If you get the boot splash and rom boot animation first before it goes black, it could be a brightness issue.

What rom?
It was sitting on the side for about 5 months, did not play with brightness at all. But it had a charging port work done, if that makes any sense.
Stock, rooted.

At the initial power up it just flash a white screen than it goes dark. Can not see anything on the screen after 2 seconds so I can't go to recovery.
