Front Panel Lights

I've had my Incredible for a days now. I'm also new to Android. Can anyone tell me the logic with the front panel lights? I would like to have them on more often, including in low light situations. Is there a way to enable this? Thanks.

you mean the home menu etc buttons? aren't those always on as long as the screen is?

On mine they sometimes are on and sometimes never come on. Since I got home they have been on constantly. I was in a coffee shop last several hours and they never came on. Just tried turning room lights off to bright but no change. makes no sense.

They should come on automatically when the lighting darkens to a certain point.

Precisely. Pitch black room as I type and the lights haven't gone off since the screen has been on.

You can simulate this by putting your thumb over the sensor. There are two circles that can be seen on the left hand side of the Verizon logo at the top of the phone. Cover them with your thumb and it will turn them on.

Is there a way to turn these off? They're annoyingly bright in dark rooms.

You want to turn them completely off? Doesn't it turn off when the phone goes to sleep?

Re: Front Panel Lights

Yeah I want to be able to turn them off at will. I like using an ereader and at night I turn the screen brightness way down but the leds from the front panel lights are too bright to read in the dark comfortably.
