Seems like all the kernels for me are having small problems with the backlights. The only problem is that it no longer comes on after turning the screen on, you have to tap one of the softkeys and then the light up. They go off when the screen goes off however.
Currently i'm on Stock Rom, Trinity 1.2.2 Kernel. I've had the same problem with morific's kernels with stock/Cm7 as well. Its not a big issue as voodoo sounds amazing, but im a slight perfectionist.
Thanks in Advanced

Hey all,
I've been looking around for a while, researching about the capacitive lights on the Captivate. I have two friends with Vibrants, and their lights are much more brighter and responsive than mine. Mine just look really dim all the time. I was hoping that I could get them brighter so I could use something like Blinky or BLN pro instead of NoLED, seeing as it eats up so much battery. The problem is that they're so dim that I can't actually tell when they're flashing. Does anyone have any ideas of any way to control these lights? I don't know if it's important, but I'm running Serendipity 5.12 with the SpeedMod k13c kernel. Any help would be great.
Thanks!
I find with my phone that the capacitive buttons do not light up all the time, it seems from boot to boot that it will sometimes work and sometimes not but with bricked kernal it works all the time and in the recovery it works all the time as well.
Anyone else getting this problem ??.
By design, they turn on and off depending on the amount of the light in the area. If you were to be in a dark place, then they will light up. If you were outside during daytime, then they would turn off as you can see the buttons just fine without them lighting up.
that doesnt seem to be the case for mine, its either on or off, i have not noticed it dynamically change depending on the condition of lighting.
Have you flashed a custom rom? If so, consider reinstalling the rom or swapping it altogether. If you've modified any system files or flashed any customization zips, that could be the culprit too. I know some roms out there offer "tweaked brightness thresholds", I believe this could contribute as well.
yea its ARHD i update every couple weeks or so.
Are you on ICS? If so playing around with the brightness settings should fix it, put in on auto brightness as well.

I think i have figured it out, it seems that if i boot or reboot my phone in the light it will be off but if it put it under a blanket or somewhere dark it will switch the capacitive lights on. It only seems to switch between on and off when booting/rebooting so do other peoples switch on and off dynamically while the phone is still switched on ??.
I have tried all roms including ICS and the same scenario happens with all.
should i be concerned if my proximity sensor lights up in a bright red?
this has never happend until recently, and ive searched everywhere
can't seem to find any thing online about this red light
im runing the latest Virtous Inquisition Rom, with aosp ics theme on top.
i have tried switching to various roms and nothing seems to stop it from lighting up.
doesnt seem normal.
If anyone could please help it would be greatly apriechiated
Same on Desire. In dark room hardly visible red glow of proximity sensor.

If it bothers you to much, just do a nandroid, wipe everything, and flash the rom again.
It should not be a big problem, the sensor sends infrared signals out that became vissable after a change in kernel, or could be becouse of the pain in front pf the sensor is scratched off. Try flashing a diff kernel, of that does not work full wipe, or contact htc.

hmmm, i had a feeling it was probly because of a kernel change or maybe wen i upgraded to the radio for ics. thanks for your replies but the issue remains.
I'm running ARHD 6.6.3. Today I installed AOKP but didn't like it very much so I turned back to ARHD.
There is one thing that I liked very much from AOKP and that is the way the screen turns off when you press the power button to put your phone in sleep mode.
It looks like an old TV when you turn it off making that fine bright line in the middle and contracting very fast.
If anyone knows what I'm talking about and knows if there is a way to have it in ARHD 6.6.3 too,please tell me.
It's been ported to Sense roms but it cause graphic problems. I wouldn't recommend flashing it.
Also, it's called CRT-off and was introduced in Gingerbread AOSP.
Edit: Here it is:

I upgraded my HTC Inspire 4G from CM 7.2 to JellyTime 4.2.1, which is based on CM 10. Very smooth ROM, and I'm very happy with how it's working. One minor problem that I'd like to get some help on is that the capacative keys back light goes off after 2 seconds or so of inactivity. I'd like them to stay on as long as the screen is on, or if that's not possible it would be good to have them turned on by the proximity sensor.
There are lots of posts on this on various sites, and it seems that some people can't get them to turn off and others can't get them to stay on. I toggled Auto Brightness, and that didn't have any effect. Also tried it in a very dark room and covering the light sensor with my hand, and darkness does not make them come on. Only an actual touch of the screen or one of the keys.
I'm assuming this is a quirk of JellyTime, since others with stock ROMs or other CM variants are saying the keys stay on. But there's nothing in the JellyTime bug tracker. It may have come up in the JellyTime thread, but I can't read 1100+ pages of comments. Excellence and popularity has its downside.
