they are on by default over here..i haven't used android long enough to change the setting if it even has one so mine has to be default. I have my brightness set to auto but im pretty sure that was default also.

me neither :/
Mine also automatically lights up when I hit the power button. I have not done the OTA.
That's SO weird. After reading the title of this thread, a few seconds later, my lights stopped coming on, too.
Turned it off, pulled the battery, and now it works fine.
ya mine just randomly started working with no reboot ahah..how weird..now to get my ota >/ still havent got it yet
I just came in here to find this thread (how do you search in the XDA app??) because I am using my phone in the dark for the first time (hotel, trying not to wake my girlfriend) and my buttons weren't lighting up.
I did a quick Google search and found they won't light up if you turn the screen on when the phone is plugged in, and this is apparently by design.
For some reason mine never work in the morning in the dark (when I actually need them to), but they always work during the day. I figure there is just some bug with the light detector.
For those having issues with the lights not turning on, are you plugged into a USB cable? Mine do not turn in when a USB cable is plugged in, but they do otherwise.
Mine never turn on at all. They haven't since I got the phone. At first I thought it was by design then I realized how stupid that would be and looked it up. Sure enough here is the thread with people having the same problem...I'm on hold with HTC as we speak...
Capacitive Touch Buttons won't Illuminate
I found this thread in a Google Search and wanted to bump it:
I just picked up my white EVO today. I just noticed my capacitive touch buttons don't light up, though they do function. This makes the phone impossible to use in the dark. I was going to ask if this was a setting I was missing, but after reading this thread it seems like a small bug. Have anyone found out what the status is on a fix? thanks!
Ok guys I discovered that the button lights have a light sensor, this sensor is located under the earpiece speaker on the left side looking at the phone. If you have it plugged in you can cover the sensor up with your thumb and the lights will turn on. The lights also will not come if you are outside or in a well lit room. I hope this helps, and still dont know what to tell the OP as his happened in the dark.
The lights for the Home, Menu, back arrow, and search key only come on 40% of the time. Does anyone have information on how to fix this?
I assume its a hardware problem, I wish I had the option to turn mine off.
They only turn on in low light settings. Cover the light sensor and they will come on. There was a glitch so they didn't turn on when charging, but I think it was fixed (?).
The lights are tied to the ambient light sensor. They only come on when you are in a darkened room. Also, they don't come on when the phone is charging (at leasrt mine don't).

Just download the app "LEDs OFF" from the marketplace. It's quite useful and I use it just about every night when the lights are low and I want the device as dim as possible. If you have a problem with the lights flickering, you need to download the latest version of SuperUser... This is of course assuming your on a rooted device. Anyways, just thought I would throw my 2 cents in
My lights don't come on all the time either... Pretty sure its supposed to be that way... They always come on right after un lock and go off about 15 seconds later

If you are charging the button lights generally don't come on.

Do you mean "LEDs Hack"? That's what I'm using and it works great when reading ebooks in bed.
I noticed the lights don't always come on on mine and I always wondered why this was.
Now that I think of it I suppose it's only when I'm charging, but it's quite annoying when you're used to hitting the glowing menu or back button!
Has anyone noticed some kind of light leakage or something right above the home button and right under the screen. You can only see it with a black background. Also when the bottoms keys are lit. I dont know if its me and my brother, but its annoying.

I don't see the light, maybe you have some dead pixels, or maybe I didn't find the right spot.
And yes I agree with the buttons getting annoying at night, I wish I could turn the brightness down.
light above home
Yes, I have the same thing. Noticed it when I first got the phone but doesn't bother me to much.
Me too!
This happened after t mobile sent me a refurb phone. I don't like out but it isn't bothering either
Always noticed this, thought it was just me. Not really an issue though.
Hey.
My Droid pro is barely a month old and Im experiencing difficulty in getting the backlight of the physical keyboard to light up when its dark.
If i tilt it upwards, it comes on sometimes but this too is very random with no specific response to any particular type of lighting.
Its ALWAYS on in the day but never in the night
From what I've read, turning off automatic brightness setting is a solution but it has not worked for me - my phone has been on a custom brightness setting since day 1.
HELP!
do u have a screen protector installed?
No screen protector. that would solve the problem?
I just noticed this problem as well while I was trying to text in bed with the lights off. Couldn't see a damn thing
keyboard light problem
I have the same issue,i wished motorla would do a update and fix with a setting for that,in the meantime,I always hit the on off button and then it stays on for a bit
Not sure but...
I never had this problem until I downloaded am alternate keyboard. i installed swype and this problem started. Have not uninstalled to see if it fixes the problem
If your rooted then try installing keyboard backlight from the market. It works great for me.
Ive never had a problem with my backlight. Night or day.
backlight
I too have the same problem,im like the others,wished motorola would fix this and make it adjustable, i have a semi fix til they do fix for good,when u notice it is not on,reach up and just push the power button for the screen to temporarily shut off,then push power button again,use slider to open screen and then it should be lit up then,thanks
Any try the backlight app and see if that works?
which app is it? a link would be nice
if you have a screen protector, use a hole punch to cut a hole in it above the light sensors.
turn off automatic brightness.
with the backlight on, but keys off, cover the two sensors for a few seconds with your palm, that always gets my keyboard lights to come on.
On the DROID pro there is also a light sensor in the upper left corner.
I experienced the same issue that u did. I then put my finger over the light sensor and the backlight came on.
It seemed to stay on from that point forward in the dark.

1. are you rooted, and did you get the specific app mentioned.
2. did you completely miss where TWO of us have mentioned that covering the light sensor briefly usually turns the lights back on?

Thank you!!! it works great now with that app.
hey all, recently added GB to my BF's non-rooted DPro and he's having this issue as well.
Looks like the best, and only, fix may be to root and add that app from the market?
Upon covering the sensor at the top the light does come back on, but only for a second or two. Have messed with the display and brightness and power settings but nothing seems to keep the backlight on when typing.
Tx
so im trying to figure out whats wrong any suggestions would help ill add pics in the pics i add thats all i get as far as what state the phone is in black screen just a vibrate when i turn on the phone and a few lights thats it. OK the pics won't upload but like I said when I start up phone it vibrates and notification light fades in and out like its starting up now that little blue light stays blinking so I know its on and the soft keys are responsive just a black screen nothing else works

I would still go through with trying to get it into recovery mode even though you say screen is off.
so i tryed to pull battery and tryed recovery mode no sign of any lights at all on screen screen stays dark all phone shows is soft key lights and the little light blue light that blinks on the top when phone is on and every time i go to touch the phone it vibrates as well

Is the phone rooted ?
If not try connecting to a pc and run kies to see if it reboots that way.
If it is rooted try to reflash thru odin.
i dont know if the phone is rooted or not like i said i cant see anything to determine that can i be having a lcd digitizer issue?? i tryed running with kies and it doesnt connect my pc picks up the phone though not a problem i can go into the files on the phone but there isnt much inside the phone eithier
How long have you had the phone under 2 years still under warranty.
i didnt buy the phone nor do i know who did so i wouldnt know and in addition the screen is cracked so i dont know if they would even cover that by any chance do you know where i may get a cheap lcd digitizer ?

That was my point..
It must be broken or the digitizer connections must be loose..
You said it..its broken
Check ebay or somewhere..you'll find plenty..
Press Thanks if I helped
