How to switch on the side leds for phones

[421905633783]

Hi. I do not know if this is just my problem, but the side buttons for picking up or killing connection do not light up, when a call is coming and the device is closed (they do light up, when the display is opened, but i can not reach them and it is pointless that time). I would like to have them light up. How can I get it work? Thanks for answer.

Hi Ya,
I'm glad you have asked this, I keep meaning to and then forget about it until im out and about at night and the phone rings, then I remember.
Its damn annoying not seeing the lights, To anyone who might think so what, you try answering a call at night in the dark with the clam shut, I got a job to even know which way up to hold the phone.
It used to work but hasnt for months now, no idea why or when it stopped, as during the summer it wasnt such an issue.

it seems like these buttons are lit using the backlit of the display.
so the question is: how to override the
"if closed then switch off backlit" logic
with
" if closed then switch off backlit unless ringing"

No these buttons are not lit by the backlight and have LED's of their own. Just completely dim the backlight using the slider in the appropriate setting and you will see no change in the intensity of the button light.

Furthermore it is a stupid design but there is no setting currently available to make them glow when a call comes in and the lid is closed. This is by design, unfortunately.

Sorry but thats not quite true.
When I first got my phone the lights ALWAYS lit up when a call came in, but for some reason they have stopped doing it now

Interesting thing to point out, I would be interested in a "fix or workaround" too =)
