Is there anyway to keep them light up? They only come on when i cover the sensor.
Not yet, but with when we get S-Off I am sure a custom kernel can be built to keep them on or off

They should have left it optional to turn it on or off in the settings.
Its depends on the ambient light, if its light enough, it turns soft key off.
If its in low light places, then it turns on.
Any updates on this?
Ineffibilis has the option in "miktweaks" to keep soft keys on or off...

I know, the blue lights between the physical keys on x10 look pretty, but they drive me crazy when I try to use the phone at night. the lights are just so much brighter than the screen and they burn into my eyes, is there any way to turn it off? Don't care if it requires xrecovery or flashing

Use the custom 2. 2 aosp Rom. The led lights are not working. They work when you first turn on the phone. But once you go to lock screen it won't ever turn on. Be careful when creating new threads like this. A lot of people here will give you a hard time. Next time find a relevant thread and post there.

Is it possibly to turn off or dim the soft key lights? Sometimes when its late at night, and my brightness is at its lowest, the soft keys are pretty bright and hurt my eyes.
Is there any way to lower it?
Thanks
Yea there's a kernal to lower the lighting its on the dev section.

Thanks, looks like il be trying this out. However, does it dim the light? or just turn it off?
Also, i forgot to mention im on the GSM version of the device... so I dont really have much of a choice of kernels :S

Turns it off, at least that's the only feature I have used. Not sure if it has been updated or not. I downloaded it the same day the thread was started and haven't really kept up.

Do you want them off or dim?

*should* in theory, be possible to both, turn off and dim based on the sysfs control files provided by the stock kernel. i know for sure it is possible to toggle them on and off as I tested that previously to answer a post.
if the brightness can be controlled, it'll be through a control file labeled brightness under /sys/class/leds/button-backlight directory. you should be able to echo values to the file to experiment with the brightness levels. this is also how the screen backlight brightness can be controlled.
based on a previous post I made, term backlight leds is how they are labeled in the android sysfs files, even though they are just the bottom 4 button led lights:

if you're technically inclined and feel adventurous, i'm pretty sure the backlight leds can be controlled thru the sysfs space and adb shell.
/sys/class/leds/button-backlight
all the control files are in there and you can experiment echo'n values to see if it turns them on/off and/or controls the brightness ...

If you want something quick fast and easy. Use screen filter in the market.

If you pull the boot.img from my ROM you will have a stock kernel with ciq/htc logging disabled and DIM LED capacitive buttons.
I'm just wondering if the capacitive buttons backlight depends on the ambient light condition? I thought they were always on when the screen is on, but after flashing a new rom, it only turns on sometimes. When they are not on, I have to change the light condition (covering the light sensor or pointing it towards the window) to toggle it on. Is that normal?
Not sure if it's ROM/kernel related.

Should be normal lol on cdma 2.17 update lights shut off if you are in bright light kernel thing . Saves battery life tho turn your brightness down a lot and it will also save battery life.

it probably is ^^^
Simple question, I found answers for many other HTC phones or other bands but not for the HTC One yet. Is there a way to force the capacitive buttons to stay lit up? I am coming from a Motorola phone with 4 capacitive buttons (menu back home search) and find myself having to press the home and back buttons multiple times before actually hitting them.
I've noticed they stay off if you have power saver on. Do you have it off and they still turn off?

I turned power saver off and like you said the buttons light up more now, but I was curious if there was a way to keep them permanently lit up?
I would imagine something like that would have to come from a custom kernel
I wish I could turn mine off permanently. I don't like the color they light up. They're not exactly white and it kinda bothers me (yeah, it's stupid, but whatever).

download NoLED. it has an options to permanently turn off the backlight.
My home and back buttons don't light up at all (if I turn off the lights at night for example they will "glow" however). Power saver is off and I did a restart. Am I missing something simple? I know where the buttons are so I'm not going to send it back to LetsTalk, but it is a little aggravating. I do have the phone in an Otterbox Defender case, but they know not to cover up any sensors.

I do know the light sensor has something do with whether the buttons light up or not. If i'm in broad daylight they never light up but in the evenings it's hit or miss.
My buttons don't show up either. I saw in another thread that they only come on when it's extremely dark. It's quite dark in my bedroom as I lie here, but still they're off. I decided to test it by lying the phone face down on my stomach while I lie here. When I pick the phone back up the buttons are lit, but they almost immediately turn back off. It sucks, because it's dark enough in here that I can't see them, and I'm just sort of stabbing around and hoping for the best. Hopefully a ROM or mod will pop up and allow for a fix.

There's an app called Soft Buttons Light in the appstore. It is supposed to either turn the button lights on permanently (while screen is lit) or lets you turn them off permanently. It doesn't require root.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on my One.
If you cover the sensor for a couple of seconds the buttons will stay lit up.ghetto I know lol but still turns them on
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
The tmobile version of the phone has brightly lit buttons, so it appears to be the att version of the software that keeps the lights dim, probably to try to conserve battery. I have both while I'm testing out the networks, and there are several things like that. The dev version of the rom (or an upcoming custom mod?) should fix it.

With mine it only keeps them lit as long as I keep the sensor covered. Move my thumb away and the lights go out. I've developed a habit of holding the phone in my left hand with my thumb wrapped over the top left, shading the light sensor. I hope HTC adjusts the setting or just adds a toggle for turning them on or off.
Maybe a developer could make a widget...
my phone is stuck on the install screen how do I reset my phone to get back to recovery?
Hold down power button for awhile. Capacitive buttons will flash then reboot.
Find a bright light and hold phone under it. Press and hold the power button until the phone shuts off.

for some reason if holding the power button alone doesn't work, and sometimes it doesn't overwhelming the ambient light sensor does the job. It's the same on the HTC Butterfly too.

I honestly thought you were trolling as well, good trick to know.
its to prevent accidental button combos while its in you pocket or bag. it uses the light and proximity sensors to determine if its in a pocket or bag
I about laughed, then I knew you know what you are talking about, so I went and did your suggestion, and lmao, it worked. I was going crazy in my dark dungeon of an office, then I saw the light. Thanks for that.
Aroma is not very stable. I personally use up and down keys instead of touch screen and it works much better. Also I try to not rush. Once you get to next screen, wait 2 to 5 seconds then use up and down and then power to select or push buttons. Works for me every time.
