Keypad lights - shutting off

Has anyone else been having problems with the keypad lights shutting off while you are navigating menus, sending messages, etc? It hasn't been a problem yet, but I'm sure there will be a day that I'll need them.

This is completely normal (if it happens in a well lit room) now, if you're in a dark movie theater or in some other type of dark situation 😈 , then you're having a problem. The phone has a light sensor that turns keypad off, in order to save battery.

I've experienced this intermittently. When it's doing it, it seems pressing any of the keys 1, 4, or 7 will turn the keypad lights on, and 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 0 turn them off. But it's not predictable; at other times they all stay on.

Incidentally, even when things are lit, the 7 and 9 keys seem much dimmer compared to their neighbors.

the light sensor is located in lower left corner in the rubber tab, it is possible that you have your finger on the sensor thus making it dark.
