LED off?

Hi friends,
I have little question about these led buttons on the right/left side from the homebutton.
Is it possible to completely disable them, to save some battery?
I tried bln pro, but only notification options possible there.
Thx

Umm they dont really use any battery at all..
They are most probably a few miliwatts each buddy - as are most on board led's, i wouldnt worry about it, having your screen on for 5 seconds would use more power than they do in a full discharge cycle..

Update: i have tried anyunlock, widgetlocker, button remapper non is working for me.
Update2:
I managed to swap volume up with power button, but it isnt working example:
It acts as power button. turns off and lock screen but when i press it again it doesnt wake the phone, only does when i press it imediately after locking.

try Go Locker .....u can find it on the market

Hey,
It seems we're out of luck if this guy is right:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21652366&postcount=7
so basically it's a hardware issue - volume key presses don't register when the phone is in deep sleep. And if the phone doesn't go to deep sleep, it kills the battery pretty quickly.

Are you on CM (e.g. CM7)? If so then you have this feature "for free" - it's one of the options in the CyanogenMod Settings in the menu. One drawback is that this will not work if you have the music widget enabled on the lock screen.
EDITED: hmm, unless you meant not "awaking" the phone but just fully unlocking it, i.e. going directly e.g. to the main screen. In such case - I have not found such thing in CM7 (to some extent you can overcome this with gestures but that's still equivalent to moving the the slider or whatever in fact). Generally: is the lock screen really needed? Is there a way to get rid of the lock screen altogether?

Thanks for replies.
So it seems that about deep sleep is true. But i have set mix freq to 500 even 800 with no luck.
Yes i was on cm7. It was working just like for 5 secs or so after locking.
Is this tegra specific or LG?
Edit: wakelock app from the market works for me. It prevents phone from deep sleep.

Is it safe to always turn proximal sensor on for activate screen on with tap tap app. May proximal sensor got will short life than it should.

keep your music playing, and set your frequencies to 215mhz - 314mhz.
its what i sued to do, since my power butter was destroyed

it works until phone enters deep sleep, everything is off except power button.

If this deep sleep thing is correct, then there's no way of making the phone unlock without the power button? no matter what application you use for unlocking it? My phone is new and I don't want my physical buttons to wear out =/

The risk is clearly near zero, my phone if one year old and I have no problem.
You have an app to change buttons mapping, it can be useful if your button is dead, but less clear when all are functional. Try to search 'button mapping' in market I don't remember the name.

[Q] Disabling back lit soft keys on screen touch

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.

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

Screen randomly glows when screen is switched off

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

application that shows time remaining to turn off display

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
