Discaimer: I'm apologizing in advance of this seems like a stupid question or post.
I noticed that my search button partly illuminates when I first turn on my phone if it's completely off. Once the phone is fully booted and my home screen comes on all of the other buttons light up properly as well as the search button.
It just seems a little odd, but isn't causing any problems. Anyone else have this? I'm just hoping it's not a sign of potential hardware problems. (Yes I have insurance but enjoy full root with hboot 1.4)

I don't know why it does it but same thing happens here mate. So hopefully its the same for all.

Mine too. I was always kinda curious about whether it was common or not, but it never really bothered me too much
Yes, its normal. They should have got that fixed before finalizing this model.
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
Mine is the same way as well. It's a light leakage. If I use one of the kernels with dim LEDs, my buttons look like ass because of this. Most people can lower their value to 2 (in ..../button-backlight/currents), while I can only lower mine to 14 before it starts looking dumb.
Mine is most prominent when in recovery. Only time I notice it.

Cool, thanks for all the replies. Happy to know it's common.
By the way it's nice to see some fellow Evo/Hero guys in here. I recognize Leukay and Tailsthecat from one of those 2 forums. Don't know you guys personally but nice to see you in here. Actually I think I recognize Rydah803 and Ducky1131 too so good to see you all here.

I've noticed this too. It does make the phone look like crap when the LEDs are off.
It's light "bleed" from the screen to the search button. it most visible in recovery, probably because your screen is completely white and it's easy to see the white light bleed.
Kinda sad that HTC didn't fix this issue before releasing the phone.. Cheap internal build quality, perhaps?
I think it may be due to the fact that they used some sort of clear plastic to put together the inside. If you open the batterycover you can see what I'm talking about.

I got it too and my phone is a recently assembled device on one of the latest h boot builds. Doubt this will be fixed so i guess we live with it...
Same with me I thought only i have that issue.
Seems like HTC did a bad job in this area. I also have hardware build 0002 so I guess it's an issue with that build.

So, I'm scrolling through my text messages (I have a lot), and I noticed that as you keep scrolling past the bottom of the screen, it still recognizes through the capacitive buttons...
To demonstrate, try this:
Open your messages application. Don't open any of the text messages themselves, but try and drag down (like you're moving up) the second to last message thread in your messages and watch as it continues to spring past the bottom of the screen into the capacitive buttons...
I'm wondering if there is still screen real-estate there, and they covered the actual ICS buttons with black paint and their own "capacitive" buttons.
Thoughts?

You know the capacitive surface is in the glass and not the lcd, so the capacitive area of the buttons is the same as the screen. HTC just made sure to code it to read as one area through scrolling.

This is how all the phones I've used have worked, even back to my TouchPro2 with a resistive screen and that zoom bar underneath. The capacitive sensor is simply larger than the screen to include the buttons.

Yes we have the largest screen at 5.25ish inches. Take that samsung note!

The OG Evo worked that way as well.

Hmmm... If that area is in reality just an extension of the mapped/mappable capacitive sensor would that in theory mean that additional buttons and/or gestures could be put down there?
Interesting. My Galaxy Nexus doesn't do this.

You don't have capacitive buttons...
I didn't notice that before. Very interesting! I hope that means we can increase the capacitive back button virtual size. I keep missing it since the spacing is different than my ns4g...
Wow really interesting...never noticed it

If you have used the pokemon rom you will notice under tweaks that this already happens. For instance they are used to unlock the screen if you swipe from the back button towards the recent apps button.

Has anyone else been experiencing weak or unresponsive home and back keys. My home key does not always work. Just trying to see if mine is faulty or others experience this issue.

I have the same issue and it has been pissing me off. I have read the OTA has fixed this issue for some. I am still waiting for my OTA to come through.
Screen off/screen on seems to kick it back into gear most of the time for me.
I had the same problem. Unlocked bootloader and put TrickDroid on, and this problem is gone. Not that it should be the solution, but it seems the move to the international update fixed that problem.
I also had the problem on stock AT&T ROM. Flashed ARHD and the problem is gone

I had the problem after i installed a screen protector. I cut around the buttons and now the problem it's gone.

I just installed a screen protector and noticed the buttons are a little finicky. Just dealing with it for now.

I wonder if a software update will fix it.

I flashed international Rom and it's alot better I have two ones that I use and there's s big difference between stock att and international imo
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Stock ATT rom here and there are times I have to hit the home button a few times. Gonna unlock bootloader tonight and see about installing a rom.
Mine definitely require very accurate taps. I am getting used to it, but I am hoping a software update will improve the responsiveness.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Seems to be the case more with our (ATT) software. Flashing the international or one of the international ROMs seems to make it much more responsive. Hopefully our phones will get the update soon!
I loaded an international Rom and I still occasionally get buttons that don't work and I have to lock and unlock the screen.

Some say it's the screen protectors some say it's not. I did notice before I out one on it wasn't so bad. But once I out it in was constantly smashing the buttons and where the are so flipping close to the screen I would open unwanted apps. Anyway I too a straight edge and an exacto knife and cut the protector off right where the screen ends and the black capacitive area begins. Did it last night and haven't had to press anything more than once. Just a thought from a guy

Compared to my One X, neither of the buttons are precise at all, even without a screen protector on the AT&T Rom.

I agree. A screen protector shouldn't make a difference. Never did with ny One X either.

Even when I didn't have the screen protector installed it was also very finicky. It seems like you have to press down exactly on the buttons for them to register the action. Even then, one of the buttons will sometimes wig out on me while the other one will continue working. It seems like the problem resolves itself within fifteen seconds most of the time, but its annoying nonetheless.
What's funny is that I thought it was a software problem at first, but even after switching over to the newest CM nightlies it still happens every now and then.
Yea but basing that in cm10 is irrelevant
Because so much is patched and ported but agreed this thing sucks sometimes

I've had this phone for a couple of weeks and just noticed blue horizontal lines when I look at my phone from the bottom up but when I hold my phone facing me I dont see them, is it supposed to be like this?
Can someone confirm this? Or is this a defect
Thanks in advance

I have the same thing . On mine so you are not alone . I'm not sure if it's a defect tho
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
That is probably the digitizer grid for the capacitive touch sensing. It is normal and all phones (apart from a few that have in-cell touch) have it.
For last 2 Days My HTC Desire X was acting weirdly,as my mobile touch is responding on its own,sometimes it set alarm itself,open fb & much more,I did reset of my phone but after some time it start acting agin..
Plz help in this..
Am also expierencing this from time to time, but for me the issue could be that I put in a new display assembly. What always helps is locking the phone and opening display again, hope this helps for you as well.
Mine some how unlocks its self whitch is interesting as you have to drag the circle then draw a pattern

I'm pretty sure this is Related to Roms and Kernels. I had this a lot using Nkernel on MysenseDX+ making it a massive pain, I've been back on ICS for a while now and no issues like this for a Long time.
Mine is standard unmoded setup today it locked its self when I accidentally pressed call and kept locking when I unlocked it I couldn't end the call had to pull the battery
