Buttons backlight on GB - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I find the fact that the buttons under the screen keep lit until you turn the screen off annoying. I often use the tab in the dark and even if you cover them up some of their light "contaminates" the bottom area of the screen, especially with dark images.
Is there any known way to get them working back as they did on Froyo? Maybe if someone could extract the old Froyo backlight driver I could try it on my tab...

I think its a great feature, especially for using in the dark as I often pressed wrong button accidentally. However I do think there should be some sort of setting to adjust when its on all the time and when its not etc.

Try an app called blinker I think from the market.

I could be wrong, but I think that was a feature that was brought to the table by Froyo.
it is a feature that is supposed to be on froyo. Or if rooted, you could get N1 Torch and take advantage of multitasking. Just open that, turn on the light. Hit home to leave the app running and open the camcorder.
Yep it's in Froyo under the "Flash" icon.
Tried it but it just turns off the light really liked the rosie guess I will try froyo

Auto Brightness Issue

About two weeks ago I turned on my Auto Brightness. Last week the screen just started going dim randomly. To be clear, its so dim I can't see anything unless its at a particular angle. Also (depending on how bright the screen was prior to going dim) if I apply pressure to the sides of my phone, just above the Menu and the red End button, the screen will become bright again. Since then I have turned off Auto Rightness and performed a hard reset yet the problem still occurs. Can someone please help me?
It hasn't been dropped, or been subjected to moisture of any kind. I've only had it for about two months. It was a replacement from Asurion Insurance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone? Any ideas? Haha, I'm desperate!

Auto brightness on our phones hasn't really been all that great, I've had random dimming or it'll go super bright in a dark room. mostly the issue is that auto brightness on phones is not all that great, they don't monitor the brightness of your surrounding but rather your face and that's where the problem lies.
My Auto Brightness isn't enabled. Yet the screen still goes super dim.

Make sure it isn't on, because it shouldn't happen if you have it set to a custom level
Haha damn, don't like the sound of that. Thanks for the help!

How to dim soft keys?

Does anyone know how to dim the soft button lights? Screen filter doesn't seem to work for that.

you can dim the softkeys with this app :
well as it seems I cant post an android market link, you have to search for yourself :
try backlight disabler or net.beshkendze
there is a free version as well
I just have the paid version,and you can disable the backlight completely or dim them to about 50% of the usual brightness.
the only drawback is that this setting only stick until you turn off your tablet,after you turn in on again, you have to apply the setting again.
but i.e. with tasker,this can be automated.
if you open the (paid) app,and kill it(root),the backlights will be off,if you open the app and use the back button,the softkeys will stay at 50% brightness.
I use tasker on my p1000 to do this everytime I turn on my galaxy tab and it works great.
I know this is just a workaround,but at least one that works
Really? How many percent dimmer? Is it adjustable?

[App] Soft Buttons Lights always on!

New here in the HTC one area so please forgive me if this topic was already covered. Being new to the HTC phone I wasn't liking the soft button lights turning off during the day light so this app basically keeps button backlight always on, as long as the screen is on.
Confirmed working with HTC one. KiNDA

UPDATE: The soft lights turn off on occasion and I have to toggle the power button to turn the light back on. Bug I guess but quick minor temp fix by hitting the button
UPDATE 7-/4/13: According to solid.snake (see quote below), Capacitive Buttons Brightness Works well
