Nokia Lumia 800 bug when you adjust Brightness

[JDLJDL]

Hi , i found a bug on Nokia Lumia 800 BrightnessSetuo.

If you diseablle Automatic Brightness, and put it manual on medium or high, the three touch Buttons dont have light, only when Brigthnes is on Automatic or on Low (manaal) wrok.

I hope nokia fix these bug soon.

This is not a bug this is a fix given by nokia to increase battery performance.

I also thought it was a bug but checked the nokia forums and in the change log of the latest update it is mentioned that the bottol capacitive button keys only light up if you have ur brightness set to low or auto

My believe is that is is by design. If you're in a place dim enough to struggle to see the capacitive keys, you'll not be using med or high brightness as it will blind you.

Likewise, when you're outside and needing a higher brightness, the ambient light will easily be enough to see the capacitive keys.

I almost always have brightness on low so this change doesn't really affect me. Medium brightness hurts my eyes in darker environment. The only time I crank it up to medium is when I'm outside. Sometimes I'm even on low outside if it's not too light. I never think I will use the highest brightness setting.

blah blah blah....sorry, but you are not representative for 99% of all users. Nice for YOU that YOU prefer low brightness. But most of us users like at least medium brightness in darker areas because the AMOLED contrast and colours are bad and washed out when in low brightness mode. I want to decide myself if i have the button lights on/off with medium or bright display settings.

Finally this "update" is a reason for me not to buy the lumia 800...shame on nokia!

Neither are you.

Did I say you have to use what I use? No. I simply stated my personal preference. No need to jump all over me. Calm down.

Have you guys tried Auto brightness?

It goes all the way to minimum brightness if you use the phone in the dark.

The bottom buttons are lit up too.

I tried out the auto brightness for the first time today. Seems to work well. It places itself in between low/mid brightness in an ordinary lit room which is fine for me. And as you say the bottom buttons are always lit even if the brightness goes up to full strenght.

Think I'm gonna use auto brightness a bit more and see if it behaves good at all times.
