Hi please could you help me i wanted to know in wich option i can modify the light parameter to set the light screen never close ... i need that thanks
ps: i searched of course but didn't find yet ...
You mean the light never turn off? Have fun with a screen which has totally burnt in, and is totally messed up in a few days time...
There's an app that does that...

Grab "Quick Settings" and set screen timeout to Off.

So this is what I did:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9202470&postcount=8
and now I'm trying to figure out how to get my phone back to the way it was.
Few simple things:
i don't want the little gmail widget to tell me that i have new mail. I turned off autosync and unsynced my gmail account, but that didn't work
likewise i don't want the default messaging programs widget to pop up along with handcent, i just want handcent.
hmmm, i tried to set the wallpaper i used to have and it won't work. maybe cause i set astro as the default program to open to view the gallery? how can i unset that?
thanks!
Also, the phone screen used to dim after 25 seconds and turn off after 30 seconds. now the screen dims and brightens randomly, like as i'm typing a text message or something.
Figured out everything except the dimming/undimming
any ideas folks?
Have you checked in settings sound and display to see if power savings mode is checked? I know thay would cause what your talking about.

Thanks, but i have played with that on and off and it makes no difference
Is it related to the light sensor. Have you got his set to auto.
This feature dims and brightens the screen based on the amount of light the sensor see's which I think is the camera.

Yes! That was it, thanks guy!
Any theories on how to stop it from vibrating when I plug it in?
Is there any way to control button light, it would be great to have them on when using the device in the dark. Maby a way to change the timeout or somthing.
+1... also BLN (backlight notifications) wouls be a really nice addition...
+anudder 1. Been thinking the same since I got mine. Always hit the wrong button, since I'm so used to my EVO. Would be great if they slapped the retina so I'd pay more attention! Thanks for posting!

Thats because there is some Samsung's code to turn it off after a while. Cant do anything about that.
what about a quick app to cycle that whenever the screen is on?

That could work, but it will eat cpu time and battery.

It would have to be a service probably with small JNI module.
Let it sleep for button light timeout-1 seconds, and then check state of lcd brightness and if it is nonzero, set button brightness to 255. repeat forever.
There is also define KEY_LED_CONTROL in the kernel in drivers/input/touchscreen/qt602240.c. So I think it should have all worked in the kernel but somehow it doesn't. Maybe it could be possible to fix it all in the kernel.
PS. I have analyzed the code in the kernel. All it does is to handle /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness so it is up to user-space to turn the buttons on and off.
Interestingly, there is some unused code that suggest it should be possible to turn the 4 leds on/off individually but there is no user space inteface for that and the init code sets them to lowest brightness.
I guess we got lucky http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917441
That should work on the tab too.
Doesn't work on my ATT tab.
Does not work on my tab. :-(

I got in the habbit of scrolling the screen a little when i need the buttons , that turns the button lights on.
There is a chance that these lights are controlled by the code in bootloader, because when i flashed 1000l firmware , it almost bricked my tab, there was nothing on the screen, not even the trinagle, but i think i saw these lights come on, i could be wrong though.
Yesterday i was looking for some app to notify me via LED about missed calls/other messages. Installed an app (don't remember app name) from Play store and immediately i observe that soft keys lit every time i touch the screen. It's very annoying. Problem remains same after uninstalling the app and today i flashed to V_10H but problem still exists.
Help me to resolve the problem also recommend any good app to notify the missed calls/messages.
Thanks
When the screen is on this is normal, but it happens when the screen is off also I think?
Just a guess, but try this:
Go to the soft key settings, set it to always on.
Then set your screen brightness on automatic.
Reboot and put the settings back to what you had first.
Reboot.
This helped with soft key light problems in V10F.

Thanks for response. I followed your steps..problem still exists.
This happens only when screen is on. I don't think its normal to lit soft keys when ever i touch main screen. I haven't noticed this until i installed app.
If it lit's up whenever i touch the screen doesn't it affect when i play games/seek video?

It's always been like this for my phone.. When the screen is on, and the soft key lights are out, if I then touch the screen again they light up.
You can either disable the soft key lights or enable them to light up constantly, like I do now.

I don't have apps that control screen light. I tired playing games like Bubble Words and light turns on every time when i touch screen. So i set lights to off always.
When the phone was new, i was on V_10e and i didn't have this problem. I installed some stupid app and it changed everything. I have upgraded to 10H but still problem exists and no way to prove that it worked earlier.
I don't get the logic behind lights on when i touch main screen.
Thanks
Hi,
is there an application that can display (in notification bar) time that remains to turn off display (sleep)
was trying to find one but couldn't.
I'm asking because it often makes me nervous when the screen goes black in front of me. With app like this I could see remaining time and tuch the screen on time.
Thank you

Why don't you change the screen settings to always stay on and it will only turn off when you press the power button that way you don't need to worry about it switching off on its own at all

It's been 4 years of Galaxy S I9000 and no developer has yet developed a method to turn off the capacitive button light. This is very necessary as it could help with the very low battery capacity. I strongly request developers to concentrate their skills on this, to disable the light and thereby prevent the irritation to eye during the night & save a lot of juice.
Please Help
Thanks

Pardon me if I misunderstood your question.
If you just want the buttons not to turn on when receiving an sms (i.e. acting as notification led) then CyanogenMod has that option, just go into Settings->CyanogenMod->Audio->Quiet hours (or something to that effect), set from, say, 2:00 to 1:59 (all day minus 1') and check last option (Dim LED or something).
If you want them not to light up under any circumstance, well, I don't think I'd use that setting but I guess it'd be nice to have!
I want the lights permanently disabled.
Try adding qemu.hw.mainkeys =0 to the build.prop file of your phone. Just let me know if that helped. PS: If you're using Nightlies, the build.prop file keeps resetting.

No.. it doesn't work . I already tried it many times before starting this thread.

Say, are you on a Custom ROM?
I think "qemu.hw.mainkeys" is to disable the virtual button bar on JB roms and not to turn off the soft key backlights (although i could be wrong?). You can add an init.d script that shortens how long they stay on for (i don't think you can turn them off completely) i set mine to 000 sec and they stayed on permanently so i set it to 001 sec and that works for me. Do a search for the init.d script, it's on xda somewhere.
On certain custom ROMs, they do act as a notification LED. So, that stays on until you turn in the phone. So all you have to is go to Settings>Display>Notification Lights (it will be called something similar) and then turn it off. Some ROMs could have a different way to turn it off. Also, I don't think that you lose battery when they turn on as you click on the buttons.
Cheers! The thanks button is right there... Just saying..
