Hi all,
Just got my One S today. One thing i notice is that the buttons does not have light. My HTC Sensation have light on the buttons (easy to see in the dark). Is this something i have to turn on?
Seems to detect light levels, It's dark near my PC and the buttons were on, went into the kitchen and the lights dimmed out.
Hold your finger over the t mobile logo on the top to see the buttons light up.
I was freaking out. Till I saw this thread lol

Leds hack does not work on the nexus s, is there any alternative?
i would like this too. I put my phone in clock mode most nights and leave it on my night stand. The screen dims very nicely and looks great except for the 4 buttons on the bottom stay bright white!
This would be a nice thing to have. i need to look in the services.jar to see if anything can be edited to accomplish this task.
With my rom and kernel combo the backlights don't come on until pressed when turning the screen on.
Using cm7 and netarchy 1.2.3

Is there an easy way we can implement this mod? I think it would look better having the lights off - giving it more of a complete black slate look.

do any of you guys experience the issue where the capacitive buttons dont light up when theyre supposed to ? which is almost.... always ?
one really annoying thing for me :|
Yes, you're not the only one to have this but It's very intermittent for me.

In my brief time with the DS, the buttons lit up just once. In anything other than full light, they were useless.

well tbh i dont have DS ...yet. im thinking if i should buy this or incredible S :| had optimus 2x in mind.... but its got issues lol.
any1 tried to play dungeon defenders on this phone ? if so ,does it work smoothly enough ? and btw, hows the loudspeaker ? good quality or still crappy -.- ?
My experience is that buttons backlighting simply doesn't work. Sometimes they light up (no matter if environment is dark or bright) but most of the time they don't. Completely sporadic behavior. Makes it difficult to use device in the dark. Engadget has highlighted this problem in their review of Desire S http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/10/htc-desire-s-review/
hm... looks like it works for me okay
Swapped the DS for an Incredible S, backlit buttons work perfectly. So suspect DS software issue?

I haven't noticed any problems either, they are lit when they are supposed to.

Works fine here.
Seems ok here.
Very bizarre - got rid of the DS after a day mostly for the wifi issue, but to a degree also because I could not see the buttons in anything other than full light! They literally came on once and that was when I connected it with my PC.
How can that be so when other folks don't have that issue. Different software versions?
Everything ok here.
DS S-OFF with superuser and BusyBox installed. (ROOT)
Maybe a hard reset would had helped.
There are well reported software issues with the buttons, basically the phone detects the background ambient light levels and decides whether our not to light up the buttons
Sometimes in a dark room the presence of a bright light source such as a window or a bright Tv stop them from lighting
unfortunately there us nothing we can do.
Although considering that the buttons don't change positions I always know where they are and which one is which so I can't see what the real problem is?

Ive had to get used to guessing where the buttons are as well.
As an aside you can force them on by putting your thumb over the front camera.
Not a solution but useful when your stuck.

Covering front camera doesn't help in my case IE buttons don't light up.
if you cover sensors on the top left of the screen (one cm to the left from HTC logo) the light should turn on after 2-3 seconds.
Its not the front camera that performs the light sensing it's another sensor thats located on the front face of the phone just to the left of the word hTC under the glass.
you can test this by covering the top left of your phone with your left finger/thumb and after 2-3 seconds the buttons should light up.
edit: sorry just realised that I said same as post above.

funny htc with all their adjustments ...
Haven't had any probe.. work on light sensor,so if there's light shining on phone then won't work,if in dim lit room then they light up..

Hi.
Just got my Sensation today and have been setting it up etc. In all the excitement, I didn't notice until now, the notification light on my handset flashes behind the speaker, next to the front camera. Am I correct in thinking that the circle on the left of the speaker is the notification light and that's what should be flashing (when charging, message received etc)?
Faulty handset?

Nope. If you check the manual, that circle on the left is the light sensor and there is one in the screen under that one, that's the proximity sensor.
notification light
Red LED lights is on on mi desire non-stop working without any problems, how to turn off the light?
Hi you turn off notification lights by going into settings, display, notifications led, uncheck all you want to stop blinking.. this should do the trick . It will only blink during changing now

Is anyones at&t htc one X capacitive lights calibration seem to be off. I've noticed must of the time they stay on. Even under bright florescent lights at work. They only go off pretty much in direct sunlight. Or if I hold the phone up to the light. And before anybody asks I do not have a case blocking the light sensor. It does react to my finger when I place over it.

I think that's somewhat normal for this device, which is why there's a mod in the dev section that you can flash (assuming you're rooted/bl-unlocked) that will either disable them entirely, or dim them to an acceptable level.
Use the app adjbrightness in the app market and you can fore them to be off all the time
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Yup, I think that's just how its calibrated. I've noticed the buttons lit when there is plenty of light. And there have been a few times where the room lighting was very dim, and the buttons were not lit, when it would have been useful for them to be.

Hello my dear. Turn off your device and try to push (volume -) + (Power (1 sec)). If you don't see the HBOOT, urgent change the device in that place where you bought it. Np.
Thanks will check it out and see what I can do. Mite have to replace screen. Noticed a red dot that should be white...

If the white moisture sensor turned red or pink this is water damage. Is this what you are referring to when you say "red dot should be white"? If so then yes the device got damaged with water or moisture somehow.

Yes. Under battery. Less go one just not screen. Should I replace screen??? Or is it something else

Try to remove battery and your sim card, then put it back again. Try to power up your phone, see if vibrates. If you still see black screen than something is wrong with your screen. If your phone doesn't vibrate it can be something else. Try to check if your battery is charged.

If the indicators show pink or red it is water damage. What exactly the water damaged is hard to say. But if the indicators have turned then that IS likely your issue. You can try taking device apart and placing in a bag of rice to absorb the moisture. Be patient with this it does work but takes some time. Also with device apart carefully dry off parts that are wet with q tips. I dropped my device in the mud. On the outside it looked dry but when I took it apart I could clearly see the water still present in the device. This worked for me however I did not luckily have my indicators turn on me. It all depends on extent of water damage. But give this a try . Best wishes.
