That is called BLN ( back light notification). Try to find bln control in settings and make it off.
Go into Settings -> Profiles and select the profile
you want to change (if you don't use them, just
select Default). At the bottom of this next menu,
you'll see a section called Application Groups.
For every item in this list, you can select it, and
then turn Lights Mode to Off. This will stop BLN
from lighting up the buttons.
The BLN lights consume very, very VERY little
battery. As in, lets say you got a message as
soon as you unplugged your phone and they
stayed lit for the whole day - they would use less
than 1% of the battery. So don't worry about
BLN, it's not as bad as you may think.

Brilliant, thanks for your help :good:

How to stop the light from flashing when you've missed a notification?

How to stop the light from flashing when you've missed a notification?
For example, when the battery reached 10%, it gets a low battery notification. Normally, if you press Dismiss, the light on the navigation control button will not flash anymore. But if you don't press Dismiss, the light will keep on flashing. However, if you wait too long or if your device is locked, you may miss the notification and the light will keep on flashing. How do you turn this off manually after you've missed the notification? I still want the notification to be enabled for next time, I don't want it disabled permanently, I just want to know how to press "Dismiss" again so that the light will stop flashing for this time.
Thanks.
Someone please help, thanks.
my diamond had the same problem.
what's even worse, when the battery reached 10% and i pressed Dismiss, the light on the navigation control button keep on flashing about every 30 seconds until i had it rebooted.

What version of ROM are you using? I'm using the official 2.03 and as long as I pressed Dismiss, the light will not flash. The problem is, sometimes I will miss to press Dismiss. This also doesn't only apply for low battery, it's for any type of notifications, but some notifications such as missed call and SMS, I can still stop the flashing even if I missed to press Dismiss, I just have to open the missed call tab or read the SMS.
CE version 5.2.21109
rom version 2.03.109.1 CHS
radio 1.11.25.01
i'm using some kind of cooked rom from a chinese pda forum.
now i can see that this seems to be a bug from this non-official rom.
could someone be able to tell me how to solve this problem without
flashing my diamond ?

Power Switch & Lost "Quick Launch"

I got my TD2 yesterday and have been playing extensively with it (and like it), but don't see the point of the power button appearing to turn off the display when pressed and then back on again when pressed again...I kept turning off the display by accident and hope there may be a way to disable this "feature" ?
Also, by unticking some option somewhere, the little "Quick Launch" thingy in the top right next to the speaker icon has gone and I don't know how to get it back...!
This is my first touchscreen, so I'm finding it quick difficult to scroll menus without actually selecting something whilst moving my finger/stylus up and down.
The powerbutton is meant to do this. The screen goes into sleep mode after a period of time and you click it to turn it on again. You will get used to it
The quick launch thingy? To the right of the speaker? The only thing to the right is the task manager. Not sure you can turn that off.
You will get used to the touchscreen and things with the phone will improve once the guys on here get to grips and customise it.

Go to settings and click on the left softbutton to see more settings.
Then click the taskmanager settings and go to the third tab.
Click the option to enable the quickmenu there.

Anyway to put the Tilt to Auto-Sleep?

I always have to manually press the side button to put it in "sleep" mode. My settings in the phone says to do it after 4 minutes but all it does it barely dim it down. Is there a fix to actually make it "auto sleep" or at least turn off the screen if not used within a time (again setting it under back light nor phone doesn't seem to work). Thanks
There're actually 2 functions: Backlight Dim and Power off (Sleep). It also depends on your ROM. If you use OEM (default factory), the option should be checked for both Backlight and Power. Try it out.
Further reading your manual should help .. or you can try the Kaiser Wiki here .. do a google, do a search ..

Strange sms notifications

Hi to all,
as you know, when new sms is received on Topaz and the screen is not active, green led starts blinking. That usually happens as well on my device, but sometimes there is no sound neither blinking when message is received.
But when I activate the device, the notification of new message appears. The problem is that the message is usually hour or even more older. Anyone has the same problem? Or is it just me?
The blinking light will stop after 5 min, by default. I changed mine to flash indefinitely.
1. Go to Settings - Sounds & Notifications - Notifications
2. Select Messaging: New text message
3. For the "Flash light for ..." option, change it to "No limit"
Message received sound notification
I have the same problem when it comes to playing the message received sound notification when my phone is locked. When I receive messages I can only see the blinking light notification then after I unlock the phone the sound plays. Its really annoying. Does anyone have a solution?
same here. But not always. I think it happens when the device is not locked and the screen is in stand-by
common issue...ROM issue!!! hopefully it will be fixed with the next ROM release
Yes I'm getting this to, it seems to be intermittent... And its annoying...
I picked it up yesterday off the table turned it on and Yep the SMS sound notified me and said it had a new sms and the green led started blinking, its like it goes into some sort of sleep mode and when you pick it up to turn it on, it then lets you know you have a message..... I hope there's fix for this soon..

Hi
I had this issue and fixed it.
I used Advanced Config and under the power settings changed 'Battery resuming from suspend timeout' changed this from 1 second to 10 seconds.
The problem is the device wakes up, often gets enough time to signal the LED to flash but the device suspends again too quickly for the sound to play.
Regards
Phil

The problem is that the device even does not start blinking. So it behaves like there is no new message until you press power off button and the screen becomes active. Not sure whether we are talking about the same problem

How to disable capacitive buttons (Back + Menu) lights? Which file must be edited?

Hi there!
Please, could anyone help me? I'm using AOKP Milestone 6 and changed original kernel, as the original one is causing problems, but no matters which kernel I use, my capacitive buttons lights keep turning on, even when disabled using options and even when those buttons itself are disabled through CWM.
I use navigation bar just like Galaxy Nexus and everytime I touch those buttons or I turn the screen on, their lights turn on also!
What I must do here? Which file I need to edit?
Thanks so much in advance!
On the Ics rom...its done like
Settings-display-touch keylight duration-always off... Nit sure bout other roms..
Mount /system read write.
Edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl adding the character # at the start of each line.
Mount /system read only.
Reboot.
Will try this right now and report back!
Oh God, it already has "#" before each line. I removed and inserted again, rebooted, and it's still turning on.
Probably it's ridiculous what I'm saying now, but I will return and stay at 40.1 due to this thing. Definitely Milestone 6 without it's native kernel can't handle this disabling capacitive lights things. =/
I just hate these buttons. Hope Galaxy Note 2 came with software buttons! I'm praying for that, but I know it's almost impossible...

Try this
1. Go into Settings -> Display -> Custom Backlight Settings -> Edit other levels... -> And set every "button" field to 0 and save.
2. Turn your brightness settings to "Auto" either via your statusbar widgets/toggles or via the standard Settings -> Display settings.
3. Go back to Home, turn your screen off, wait a second and turn it back on. Notice that the button lights stay off!
If you like to keep keep your screen brightness at Auto, then you're done!
4. Now turn your brightness back to a manual setting. Notice that your buttons light back up. That's okay.
5. Turn your screen off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
6. Now they should be off and will remain off until either you reboot or you toggle the Auto field again (which toggling it simply brings you back to step 5 to fix again).

Thanks so much for the tips. As I'm back to 40.1, I will try to check this before testing AOKP JB!
By the way, you are using it, right? It worth? Can be used in a daily basis?
