Mine look pretty similar in brightness.

The question that I have about the buttons is there a way to change their brightness or turn the backlight off? I when the phone is in the dock and in night mode the screen dims but the buttons are still at full brightness which defeats the purpose of dimming the screen backlight.

Yup, just download "led's hack" from the market and after opening app it'll ask what phone you have, choose "Droid X" and you'll be able to disable the bottom led's and top too if wanted. Don't forget to hit thanks

Looking into this

I'm a Sprint Product Ambassador supporting the launch of the Motorola Photon. I wasn't able to find any settings that would control the backlight for the capacitive buttons natively on the Photon. I know on some of our other Android devices you can match button backlight to screen timeout, etc but I am not seeing anything similar for Photon. I am researching thid further but did a little testing for you today with my own HDMI dock and while it's no real fix, I did see that after leaving it on the dock for a couple of minutes in night mode, the capacitive button backlight did go off after a couple of minutes.

If you really want to help support the launch of the photon, get us some info on the bootloader being unlocked

I guess I didn't leave it on long enough to see them go off. I'm trying the app for now and so far it's doing what I need. If the lights go out like you said there must be a timer value somewhere that I'm going to see if I can find.

Mine seem the same, although of course apparent brightness is different because the buttons are different sizes.

I exchanged the phone and this is my third photon and its rock solid.

P.S. I was having issues with lag and removed "watchdog" and that may have been my problem. it was the free app on amazon a while back and I got it. does anyone else use that program?
