Hardware Button Lights remain always on! (Lumia 720 Cyan Firmware)

[WPCentral Question]

The Hardware Button Lights on my Nokia Lumia 720 aren't turning off even while 'Battery Saver' is enabled with 'Save Battery Now until next charge' or 'Always on' settings. Please suggest some solution. Let me know if a 'Hard Reset' can be avoided! Thanks.

Device Configuration:-
Nokia Lumia 720
India Country variant
Lumia Cyan Firmware
OS version: 8.10.12393.890

Can you clarify - do they remain on after the screen has turned off?

Well if i Lock my phone, the button lights turn off; but they don't when my phone is unlocked and battery saver is enabled, like it was in windows phone 8.

That's the way it goes. As soon as you interact with the phone the lights will be on untill the screen timer runs out or you lock the phone

Do they remain ON even when using the phone. Is that the new implementation in WP8.1? Thanks.

I dont know about 720 Cyan
But my 620 on DP GRR1 [Not cyan] turns button lights OFF when batterysaver is ON

Might be a issue with the 'battery saver' app, I suppose. The app displays time since last charge "less than one hour" continuously, even after the phone was charged couple of hours away.

When Battery saver is enabled, the will still light up albeit stay dimmed and like previously mentioned as long you are interacting with the device they will remain turned one.

If you plug in your phone to your pc or laptop to transfer files, the battery saver will say "less than one hour" as when you plug it in - the phone starts charging automatically (unless it is at 100% where it will trickle charge).

Well, It seems that I have encountered something new. The Hardware Button lights aren't effected by 'battery saver'. I noticed that they do turn off while I use the phone near to or under strong lighting. They are lit again as I remove the phone from direct light and go somewhere dark. Might have something to do with the ambient light sensor. Meanwhile I'm running Lumia Cyan firmware on my L720. Anybody else noticed this? Let me know. Thanks.

The hardware as stated above will only go away when there is a strong amount of light e.g Sun
Only then they'll disappear
