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.

Thanks

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,
Received my brilliant brilliant kaiser today. Every penny worth an upgrade from trinity apart from a slight brick feeling.
I was wondering if someone knows how to keep QWERTY keyboard lights on all the time while you are using the keyboard. At the moment they stay on for few seconds when keyboard is opened, but turns off later and don't turn on even on pressing keys unless you close and open the keyboard. It would be helpful to type in dark if backlight on keyboard keys stay on as long as keyboard is open.
thanks
heh i use the low tech way, i put my finger over the light sensor
I am wondering the same thing. There is an option for "Automatic keyboard auto sensor" for the backlight under "Settings....Buttons....Backlight" but haven't been able to get it to work. Where is the light sensor? I could possibly go high tech and put tape over it!
Update:
In the Registry, navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER...Control Panel....Backlight....QKeyLedTimeout
and change the default value from 10(seconds) to something high eg. 180 (3 minutes).
This will keep the backlight on for the specified amount of time.

so say you only need the keyboard for 1 min, when you slide it shut does it stay lit for the other 2 min or go off when closed?
One last update....the above registry mod actually will keep the phone button backlights on for the specified time as well as the keyboard backlight. So, this could be a bonus for some. Still haven't found the light sensor on this device I am guessing it is on the keyboard on the left side (tiny hole), but I still haven't been able to activate it. Anybody else had any luck?

It will go off as soon as you close the keyboard

Unticking this option actually fixes the issue... If you DON'T enable the auto-sensor, the light will come back on instantly on every new key press (any key..).
Stretching up the time-out with earlier suggested reg-mod is a nice added bonus...
The sensor is slightly left from the Q-key. A little black dot.
Strange,
I put my finger on top of it, and it did not light the keyboard

Yeah.. my light sensor is iffy... Maybe it is just a bug.. I can be in a totally dark room and they key backlight will not turn on. If i disable the auto sensor the backlight, of course, works as normal.
i think i will have to leave it disabled..
Auto Sensor on p4550
Hello,
I have a kaiser and my auto sensor is not work.
Anyone have auto sensor (for light keyboard) work on his kaiser ?
Thanks.

That is exactly the same problem as I am having. I can't seem to get the keyboard to light up in complete darkness. My other devices never had this problem. The backlight would come on in darkness. Any suggestions?

Most of the time it works for me.. The easiest fix it to simply disable the light sensor. It works just like any other PPC then. If it is misbehaving a reboot will fix it for a while. I haven't actually had any problems for a bit now. I wonder if it has anything to do with the lock password bug? I did disable my lock password and haven't had any problems since.. might just be a coincidence. Wouldn't hurt to try that too just to see.
Hey on my Xperia Z stock rom nothing flashed, when it is in standby (screen off) randomly the screen glows and does not stop, like the screen is still off but it's like the back light has come on? is this normal? seems to be a power wasting thing to me. unless i look at it from a slight angel (during the day) i can not actually tell it's on, i'm assuming this is why my screen is using 60+% of my battery is there a fix for this?
Are you using any power saving mode?

Stamina mode.
I have the exact same thing happen, and it is definitely a pain as like you say you can only notice it when looking at an angle, and as I have a flip case on mine I only notice while charging. It is just a case of pressing the power button twice to turn off but that is obviously only when you notice it's doing it! lol
I use stamina mode on mine (which is great) but not sure if this is anything to do with the backlight being left on as it only does it sometimes?
I had this issue when i first got my phone ,and not anymore.Not sure how it solved cause i did lot of factory reset and flashing firmwares.
Are you using light flow or any third party apps?
Sent from my C6602 using xda premium
I get this too. I get it when it's locked and it comes back on. Also when I unlock the screen sometimes this happens and I have to turn the screen off and on again to fix it.
Happening here also but not often. I thought it was low battery mode but happens when it's disabled as well.

No i'm not using any third party light apps, seems like this may be an actual bug if multiple people are experiencing it
I have only done one reset/repair to fix the LED notification light bug.
Hope this helps
I know how to fix this. I have an xperia z1 so im not sure if my problem is the same but i use my phone as an alarm so i notice at night the screen is glowing while its standby. If you go to settings or maybe you have it in quick settings go to brightness and deactivate "adapt to lighting conditions" then it should be a black screen woth no glow in standby mode
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

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 .
Just got my replacement note 4,not sure if old one did this,but when after having screen asleep when hitting power or home button to wake screen up the touch keys will sometime lightly blink once before coming completely on with screen,doesn't do it every time,it's a bit random,wondering if anyone else see's this flicker?
To test if you turn off touch key duration completely in display settings,and then turn screen off and back on u can see the touch keys still ever so slightly light up,at least on mine,just trying to figure out if normal or not.

Yes, I see this on mine. And it doesn't really bother me.
