Hi friends,
I have little question about these led buttons on the right/left side from the homebutton.
Is it possible to completely disable them, to save some battery?
I tried bln pro, but only notification options possible there.
Thx

Umm they dont really use any battery at all..
They are most probably a few miliwatts each buddy - as are most on board led's, i wouldnt worry about it, having your screen on for 5 seconds would use more power than they do in a full discharge cycle..

Hello I realized that the phone backlight stays on and does not go sleep when ICS is in use. How do i make the backlight shutoff while keeping ICS in use. I wanted to know this to save battery life? Thanks
Umm, have you tried pressing the power/suspend button? ;-)
If that doesn't work, you'll need a 3rd party app, like Pocket Plus, that provides such functionality...
power/suspend button doesn't work, it just disconnects ICS. Is there another way of doing this without downloading pocket plus? Reg edit or something?
does anyone know a solution to this?
flip the phone over?
to save battery; dont' u just hate a smart kid
errr, it's usually plugged in if yer doing that. if by smart you mean intelligent, then yes.
Well if im tethering ICS using wifi or bluetooth then it wont be plugged in, the backlight stays on and kills more battery.
right, that's why i said usually. The ICS is killing the battery even more than the light, so most people will have a phone-USB to computer or wall charger, or run out of juice fast anyway.
Use this app that I just posted a few minutes ago for someone else. It's in this thread, post #3 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339469.

This still does not work. If i use this app it does turn off the backlight but then ICS gets disconnected still... Does anyone have a solution to this?
Try psSHutXP (freeware) found here: http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/
The main App adds a soft reset, shut down, and lights off switch. Once run it adds a new Shortcut called Display which will turn off the LCD (just like the "lights off" in the main app.
I added the Display shortcut to my Launcher, and a double tap will turn off the display. Power button turns it back on.
It was made so you can still keep apps running while the LCD is off. Give it a go.
I am currently using PrimeHD V6.0 for stock kernel.
I do not use LED notifications at all. And they prove to be a battery drainer for me.
Is there any way to COMPLETELY disable LED notifications.
I know that there is an option to disable LED notifications at night. But it is ONLY for night.
Any option ? Any application for complete disable ?
P.S - I don't mind LED light when charging.
get a screw driver and a hammer and break the led, permanently stopped
hope thats helped

Thank You for that unhelpful reply :/
Switch to GDX. It has that option.
You can set the disabling duration too.
Hit The THANKS Button If I Helped You!

Yes, it's normal in both software versions.

It seems to happen whether battery saving mode is On or off.
In my experience the led functionality has been hit and miss at best. I tend to use NoLED when I need to know if I've received anything and turn it off the rest of the time.
With the pitiful led the Xperia has, it really doesn't matter much if it blinks or not. Probably the worst feature of this phone.

I know they could not have made it less visible, without covering it, if they tried!!
Real shame, on my work BB I love the notification flash whilst at home (at work I have outlook to tell me).
When i press the lock power button once and then try to press it again so i can unlock the phone , the screen gets ultra dark and i dont know why !!!!
I solved this thing by dragging down the notification bar and tweaking the brightness level but i cant constantly do this.
As for the darkness level its not like i switched off the screen brightness.
Its completly dark no backlight AT ALL!!!
i dont know why.I am using many applications that use root acces and tweak CPU and RAM functions that may intefere with the lockscreen app.

Not that thing i had that bug before but it was not annoying me
The thing here is that the phone functions as normal but with extra low brightness!
And it happens only some times .
Ill use it tomorow like this so i can figure out a patern if there is one .
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.

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..
