Backlight on 4 buttons stays on
 

I noticed that sometimes the light behind the 4 buttons ( Home / Phone etc) will stay lit after i shut the unit. I cant figure out why but its got to be a battery drainer. anyone else with this issue and a fix or reason ??

Thanks!

same here would like to know as well. I think it has something to do with running apps even sometimes with activesync, if i close them the lights go out.

I know that sometimes it takes a couple pressings of the sleep button for the lights to go off. Its not very useful when on, so im annoyed by it not working cutting off

So its not just me. I thought it was a defect. There seems to be no reasoning for it. I try to re create it but no luck. I come back after a while of my unit being off and the lights still on . Killing battery.

Pop in a CD from killswitch Engage while running/driving to your nearest sprint store and exchange it (if one is in stock). Mine doesn't do that and i use sprint stock rom with NO tweaks installed. So if your running a tweak program, try uninstalling it and see what happenes. If it's all stock, return it as it might be defective.

this has happened to me twice in the 2 weeks i've had this phone...so it's not uncommon but not common either. the first time it happened i just soft reset the unit. the second time, i was looking through the htc photo album, closed the app and then pressed the sleep button and the lights stayed on. i woke the device up, opened the photo album again, closed the photo album again, and then put it into sleep, and the buttons went out. weird.

It happens for me whenever I press the power button and either of the two volume buttons simultaneously, so I'm just careful not to do so anymore.

I have noticed this, but only when I lock the phone, then press the power button to turn off the screen. It only rarely happens. I have just gotten used to looking at the 4 buttons after turning the screen off to make sure they are not lit up.
