does anyone notice any issues with the backlighting on the keypad of the i870?

[shamrock]

when the keypad lights up, if i rub my fingers anywhere near the upper right hand buttons near the camera button, the backlighting flickers and begins to get very dim until i take my finger away from that area.....anyone else have that issue?

there is a sensor that dims and brightins depending on sunlight

plz correct me if im wrong

No it does flicker, but it's not the LED going out, it's because the LED's a re really close to the buttons and when the clear parts of the button move a different way the light emitted from the LED isnt as strong when it's pushed down....it's not flickering it's a matter of the keypad moving and physics

thanks for refering to me as "she" but i am actually a guy

it has absolutely nothing to do with the tiny sensor that activates the backlighting based on ambient light......i am refering to when i gently touch any of the buttons near the camera button, such as the end call button, the buttons around that area only will go out or flicker as if there were a short....sorry for the confusion
