How bright are your capacitive buttons? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Buttons backlight on GB

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.

[Q] Hardware Buttons

Can the hardware buttons like back, menu, home , etc...can wear out if we use them more.... or using button saviour is a good idea. And anyone else is using button saviour app.
Is there someone out there who is having this problem?
And is there other app which is same as bitton saviour.

Don't know about battery savior but the MENU and BACK are CAPACITIVE TOuCH KEYS which WILL NOT WEAR.out. And yes the home button will deteriorate over time!

Or if your finger is in pain when you put it under more pressure than touching screen. :angel:
But using the Button Saviour we can save the home button a few, don't you think?
I have tried to use Button Saviour one time, but i hate it. I hate the virtual button on the side of screen, so i searched another way to save home button and i found the app "Home Button" like free on market (link below). This app runs like a ongoing on the notification bar. So if we need to go to home screen, just roll down the notification bar and click on the app. The best part, the app don't run on backgroud, so no RAM usage! It only run when we click on, and than it close immediately.

[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

Nice username.
Yeah, the One has a very stiff button, so you're going to get almost no tactile feedback when you press it. That's how it's supposed to be. If you don't like it though, there are several mods floating around this forum on ways you can raise its profile (like painting on clear nail polish).
Or just bypass it almost completely and use the modified kernels for slide to wake or double tap to wake. There's also a few other long press options too. At least that way you only use then power button to turn on and off the phone.
There also appear to be options for turning screen off through the eqs, although I haven't been able to get those to work for me. Sweep2wake/sweep2sleep is awesome. Also a great little show off for your non rooted friends!
