    Key lights

    I've looked but haven't found this asked yet - what controls the lights on the BACK/MENU/HOME/SEARCH keys? Mine go on and off seemingly at random.
    Thanks in advance.

    I think it has something to do with the phone's light sensors.

    Light sensor.

    If you have auto brightness enabled, they will go off in bright light, and come on in dim, batt saving measure.

    I've had this happen several times the buttons don't light up even though the screen brightness changes when I touch the screen. What I've found that lights the buttons back up is to click the on and off button. Putting the screen to sleep and turning the screen back on always lights the buttons.
