New to the one s. Coming from the sensation. Like the title says are the buttons supposed to light up? Mine don't.

Mine doesn't stay on either. Actually... The only time mine is ever on is during boot and when doing a hard reset. It seems like they should be on anytime the screen is on, the device would look a lot better that way.
Mine time it after inactivity, but they are in quite often

In a dark area, yes. Otherwise, no. It uses the light sensor near the HTC logo. If you cover your hand over that area, the buttons should light up. Mine do.

I was wondering if anyone of you have experienced this issue. If I press down on the screen right under the search icon in the lower right corner, the glass ever so slightly, very softly presses down. Almost as if the glue is soft or there is nothing hard there. Also I get the screen discoloration that happens when you do that to an lcd screen.
I have read online that others have this issue and even the demo units at the att stores do it as well. Keep in mind that there is no light bleeding through and the glass is not raised just presses down.
What do you all think?

I noticed this on my aria. Its how I got it upgraded to the inspire. These screens are attached with a thin layer of double sided adhesive. Think of it as ultra thin 3m tape. I think it might actually keep the screen from breaking under light stress. I would keep an eye on it and if it gets worse maybe call HTC for repair.
Never had any issue with the digitizer because of it tho.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure how it makes me feel though. I don't think I'll return it just yet.

Mine does the same in the bottom. I've also noticed not all 4 corners are equally flush with the black ring that goes around the screen. O well, small thing really. Phone is so amazing.
Yeah I love this phone. I swapped it out and now everything is good. The only thing though is that out of the 3 they pulled out, 2 had dirt under the screen. That tells me we might need to figure something to fortify the screen better.

That bugs the hell out of me! I wish i would have saw that before my return period expired
Your phone has a 1 year warranty tho. So if it gets worse you can at least have it repaired. I would really suggest getting it fixed because that creates a paper trail.

mine does this too. I guess I'm heading to the AT&T store.
Did you have any issue swapping it out ? I'm 2 days past my 30

I tried to swap mine out within my 30 day period, and the sales guy told me he couldn't give me a new inspire (because the demo model and his personal one had the same issue) but would let me get an atrix. I still have my inspire, funky screen and all!
Mine does the same thing. I wonder if all of them do it? did the one you swapped for do it too?
Also when I went in and talked to the radio shack guy he told me that if I put something heavy on it overnight it would reattach to the double stick tape if I didnt want to return it. Also can your return a phone with this issue rooted and s-off? or do you need to go through the process of returning to stock?
I would take it back stock. It seems to be an issue that doesn't affect the phone. Only thing that sucks is returning it to find out the replacement is worst or better yet, get one with dust under the screen. Also it seems to be at the corner of the screen where you normally wouldn't press on the screen.

Mine new one is better
I had no problem trading mine in at all. My new one is much better. Well, actually it has no problems at all. My screen was making an audible clicking when I pressed it down. I just don't touch that section of the screen at all cause I am afraid to hear it again.
My screen is okay. I guess this problem is there for most devices with LCD touch screens. To make it slim/light/cheap the screen rests on a really thin platform I feel.
On a off topic : -This happened with my iPod. I went to the "genius" bar and that guy brought 10 different iPods out and showed me by pressing the bottom right part of the screen that this is "common" .... I had no better argument then.

Anyone have the same problem as me? Basically my capacitive button back lights tend to not always actually light up. They choose when they want to light up. I usually do a reboot and they go back to normal but an hour later they shut off and turn on whenever, rarely turn back on though.

They are turned off when the sensation is exposed to light and are on when there isnt that much light. For example, using the sensation in sunlight will keep it off while using the sensation in a dark room will leave it lit.

Yeah, I get what you mean, my G2 was like that as well.
Thing is that im in my room right now and its dark in here, besides my tv which isnt emitting much light and theyre off right now. Luckily i still know where the buttons are located and which one is which, but its annoying knowing theyre off when they should be on.

Sounds like its time to send in your phone for a replacement. I just tried on mine what you described, and my keys light up. I would get a warranty exchange

I have the exact same problem with my button back lights, and will probably have to send it back to HTC for a replacement.

Just put your finger over the light sensor. If the capacitive lights come on, they work.
If they don't come on, they don't work.

I just learned that if I put my finger over the sensor light, the button back lights turn on. That is great news, because I didn't want to send my phone back.

True, but they shouldn't function that way. It should be automatic. I'd send it in for repair.

They are 'automatic'. They come on when the phone is booted, and when the ambient light is low.
They don't STAY on when you can see them perfectly well without being lit. That would drain your battery life faster.
That's actually a good thing.
People shouldn't return a device because of a 'feature', IMHO.

Mine stay on constantly regardless of light. Not sending it for repair as it's likely software not a hardware problem.

I don't even realize if mines are on or off since I know where the buttons are, so I guess it doesn't bother me.
I just got my One X and everything seems fine so far, though I'll need to go to AT&T tomorrow to setup a new sim, because as far as I know, My old SIM won't work with the LTE right? I have the one from my old captivate that I cut into a micro sim for an iPhone 4 and I put that in the One X and the APN settings are wrong because they're the settings from the iPhone 4 I'm assuming. If anyone can help me out with the APN that would be great.
Another question I have is regarding the capacitive buttons. Do they only come on in the dark or all the time? I noticed that they weren't on but I turned off my lights and they came on.
Thanks in advance
My button lights are on all the time.

Mine seem to react automatically also. My home button also doesn't light up while the other two button do light up, so Ithink I have a faulty unit.

I would exchange it because of your home button issue. But nice to know that yours are light sensitive

If you put your finger over the light sensor (like a quater inch to the left of the AT&T logo) you can see that the capacitive buttons come on. Though I'm looking at mine right now and it seems like they don't go off automatically once I take my finger away.

Good to know. My home button still doesnt light up so I guess I'm bringing this bad boy back. Had everything set up already too

Just curious if everyone else's buttons backlight all three are either lit up or not. On mine, the back and home are while the recent one is sometimes. My guess is that it's a defect. It's just weird that it'll light up with the others occasionally so I know the light works. I really hate to have to swap this thing out cause everything else works great.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
I've been trying to figure this out, actually.
All three of mine are either on or off - but it seems like while the phone is plugged in (not being touched) with the screen on... the buttons are lit up all the time.
Only this morning they were off while the screen was on and the battery was charging. Very weird.
You know, I just noticed mine are off. Going to investigate.

Just realized they turn off when in a bright environment and turn back on when dark. I guess.I learned something today. lol

But it's all three correct? Not just the first two? My recent button hardly ever comes on..only occasionally.

I could care less if they ever came on Hopefully an update will make it so we can turn them off/on or dim after a certain idle time.

It comes in handy at night. Other than that, they shouldn't come on. And damn, I didn't want to take mine back. I at least can get mine set back up pretty quickly.

Not sure if there is anything I can do for this. The lights for my three hardware buttons (back, home, and multi) do not work right. The back key works just fine, the other two light up sometimes and sometimes not. If I squeeze the phone sometimes they come back on. I am unlocked so my warranty is void. Anyone have any thoughts?

did you even read what he wrote? It seems like a hardware fault I would still try sending it in.
If you can't get them to fix it under warranty (doesn't hurt to try), I suggest just turning them off completely.
