Anyone know if there is an app or way to dim the capacitive buttons? They're pretty distracting at times.

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.

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

Screen != buttons. And no, they're not dimmable.

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?

Has anyone noticed that the capacitive buttons on the bottom of the Note are not as bright as the Skyrocket. Seems Samsung toned them down. I also noticed that my home button is a little dimmer than the other 3. Should I worry about this? And how bright are your capacitive buttons.

Wrong forum, this is the internation version, we only have the "Menu" and the "Back" keys lit up. Try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1493
Also: I don't have any issues with them on my N7000.
Can't see how it's a problem anyway. You do see them don't you? Why do you need them bright? Use them as front camera flash?

Oops. Sorry I did not even notice that. Thanks for the input

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

Are you able to see the button lights in the daylight? They seem kind of dim to me.

Hi,
Is it possible to have a vibration over the Home/Back buttons?
I can't feel them when doing it, I even barely can see the led since it is not a bright white.. it is a bit grey
