My capacitive buttons pulse at (seemingly) random times when I'm using the phone. Does anybody else have this occurrence?
By pulse do you mean light up? If so, I think they turn off and on depending on the ambient light...assuming you have your backlight brightness on Auto.

I just received a Desktop Dock yesterday with he hope that my N1 could replace my old, very bright plug-in alarm clock which lights up the whole room at night.
Unfortunately the N1 is at least as bright, if not brighter when docked, even with the "Green display" which comes on after holding the brightness button.
Is there any way to lower the brightness of this app further while it is running? I have tried the brightness slider in settings and this seems to have no effect. If I can't make it any dimmer I'll have to go back to my old alarm clock!
Also, is there any way to turn off the backlight on the "Soft buttons" at the bottom of the screen? They always seem to glow white!
If it helps, I'm running CM 5.0.6
Thanks!
Try hitting the clock brightness button once to turn down screen brightness completely. Once the screen is dimmed, hold it to get the green clock. That doesn't light my room in any way.
Cheers.
As mentioned I've already tried this and it still lights up the room. Not to a massive degree but it is still lighter than my alarm clock.
Any other suggestions?
I had just this problem! There are some free alarm clock apps in the Market that let you change the color/hue/brightness, and for a while I was making do with one of them with the font color set to a very dim grey.
Now I use "Bedside" and "LEDs Hack", both from the same developer. The latter is free, and automatically turns off the LED lights when I plug my phone in. The former was $1.50 well spent, and automatically mutes the phone, dims the screen, and displays a truly dim alarm clock when I plug my phone in. Both restore things back as soon as I unplug my phone in the morning. Both are very configurable. I can't recommend them highly enough.
They sound cracking, I'll give them a go tonight. Thanks!
Press the dim button to lower brightness then hold on to it to put it in clock mode it will be really dim but I don't like how the buttons are still lit :/

Do you have the auto brightness setting off?
I have it on, and find that the green clock screen is just right (and a lot dimmer than our alarm clock light which I've now switched off.
LEDs Hack is great for taking the LEDs off!
The backlight notification is very dim compared to the vibrant. Does anyone else have.this issue or is there a way to turn of the brightness?
Is the brightness of the phone too dim? Or just the pulldown notification bar?
I think he is talking about the LEDs for the bottom buttons. When you have BLN enabled they turn on with any notification you get. I have seen them be a lot brighter on the Vibrant than on my Captivate.
Have you considered trying NoLED from the Market? Works great!
I have seen some who have allowed the lights to be brighter by removing some of the coating on the inside but this requires disassembly which is not difficult but may be more than you want to attempt. Personally I love the fact that they are dim...the brighter lights attract your eye when in a low light environment.
The screen will dim and brighten randomly while i walking or using the phone. Is this an bug or its it my phone sensor spoil? I am using official firmware V10D
the same thing is happening on my phone. help please is very frustrating .
The same thing happens to me and actually it is very frustrating.

I thought that was the Idea of Auto brightness
The screen brighness changes depending on the Ambient light level in your surroundings
You could try cleaning the screen around the top left corner where the Light sensor is and see if that makes any difference
Try to hold over the sensor for >10 sec and see if it still fluctuates. If not, the sensor is fine and the light hitting the sensor is changing, as waynefox writes.
It is also possible to turn off the auto light for the display
Go to settings-->display-->brightness, and un-tick the automatic brightness
Is there or is it possible to have an app where the ambient light sensor could trigger the waking up of the Touchpad, much like how this app works: https://market.android.com/details?id=smart.cover but obviously tht Touchpad has no proximity detector as this would be perfect with many Touchpad cases
Hello,
a few firmware versions back sony added the pulse notification light option to the display options, I have it checked but my notification light is still just blinking, not pulsating, shouldn't it behave like the one on nexus devices, slowly increasing the light to the peak and then slowly dimming it? Is this normal or should it really be pulsating like the one on nexus devices? Thanks
It will be the same as how sony did it
