Keep HTC 10's capacitive buttons backlit at all times

HTC 10 is an attractive handset but since nothing is perfect, it comes with its own small annoyances. For example, the capacitive navigation buttons are not perfectly centered which makes it a bit difficult to tap them when they’re not lit. A solution would be to keep HTC 10’s capacitive buttons backlit at all times.

The flagship doesn’t have on-screen software buttons like the older HTC One M8 and M9, although the above-mentioned solution works quite well. Of course, it will cost you a bit of battery power, but nothing too dramatic.
