Hi Devs, do you think it would be possible for a mod to be created that dims or switches off the Capacitive buttons backlights off whilst watching videos or Youtube? Would be especially handy when watching videos in the dark. Kind of annoying having the bright capacitive button lights there when trying to watch in the dark.
Cheers!

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 have an optimus 4x(just like all of us):screwy:, and the lock/unlock/power button is a bit awkward:banghead:...
All of the unlock apps present in market require pressing the power button.
Can any one developed an app/mod that will wake the phone without the use of power button!?
I myself would like try but don't know first thing about Android development. So if u lazy then please guide me in which direction to go

If you use holo locker from the market you can use the volume button to wake the screen. If that's any good?

I know this is not your inteded answer, but would't the phone be unlocked all the time? I mean, those capacitive buttons are easily pressed, even through pockets. Plus, you'd need to power them all the time which would cause some battery drain.
On the old HTC Desire S we had "Sweep2Wake" - but that requires kernel modifications AFAIK. Maybe something for the future as it was quite a nice feature, and I don't like using physical buttons to wake my phone as it wears them out too quickly.
How about smart screen off pro from play store? It uses the proximity sensors and/or the light sensors to wake up your phone by put them out of the pocket or anything else...
Great app that I used by my self...

Hello.
You can try also "Auto Screen On" from Google Play. It works with the frontal sensor; it's perfect to have your phone turned on when getting out from your pocket. After trying similar apps, I prefer this
So my one has this annoying issue. Every time I rotate it into landscape it auto dims to around 50%. Anyone have any ideas it's really agitating me.

When you rotate your phone you might be covering the light sensor with your thumb or palm while holding it.trying setting screen brightness to a value instead of auto and check if the screen still gets dim. If yes it might be a hardware issue

is your thumb covering the light sensor when you rotate? (the two black dots in the top left corner in portrait mode)
sometimes even if covered for a split second it will cause a dim condition
Come on guys, give me a bit more credit than that lol. No I was not covering it. Oddly enough it's only doing it either in the car dock or just coming out of the car dock. Hasn't done it since then. Will retest it when i get off work.

Are you wearing Sunglasses in your car? With polarized sunglasses, the screen will look dimmed in landscape.

Running a Navigation program in Car Dock? it might have a setting for screen brightness even if it was running in the background.
Dimming Problem
Hi Guys,
Can you try my app for your dimming problem and let me know what you think ?
It's an easy to use application that allow you to manage your screen and can allow you to stop it from dimming. :good:
It can be configured for specific apps also. Please give me your feedback!

Using some other auto brightness apps might help.Stock one drains too much battery
Is there a way to keep the capacitive buttons lit even in brighter situations? Difficult to see where to press otherwise. Desire a non-rooting solution, please. Thanks.

There's an app in the store. Search capacitive button and it should show up. I uninstalled it because I wanted a widget instead but none has appeared yet.

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
