Buttons light up intermittently

[cd36]

Anyone else have the bottom buttons on their one x not light up sometimes? I did have automatic brightness on and I thought it would sometimes turn the button lights off but it seems to even do it with auto brightness turned off. Just as I typed this it started with the lights off and then they came on.

So anyone else have this or should I be bringing it back to rogers?

Just happened to mine lol

I'm guessing from only one response this isn't a widespread issue?

Am on my second one now, and both have been like this. A bit peeved, very rarely light up

Mine only light up when its too dark to see them without the backlighting.

mine does this as well - just picked it up today - hopefully this will be a software fix...

Further to my last post, if you cover the proximity sensor they light up

HTC and Motorola seem to use the light sensor for the capacitive buttons backlight whereas Samsung allows the user to use a setting for "timed" backlighting.

My Rezound does this. Sometimes they are on while I'm in my office and sometimes they dont. There is no rhyme or reason to why they work intermittently.

they will light up when the room is dark

I had noticed this too. Glad it's by design. Good to know.
