I find the capacitive keys lighting up to be rather annoying. An early post says that only the at&t variant of the s6 allows the option to disable the lighting on the capacitive keys. Is there any workaround that would allow me to do it? Perhaps there is some tweak requiring root.

Are you referring to the touch key light duration?
Simply navigate to Settings > Display > Touch key light duration, and switch the setting to "Always off

There is no such option but yes, that is what I was referring to.

Pretty certain the only way to disable the capacitive button lighting is to put your phone in power saving mode. Settings > Battery.
You can shut off the touch vibration any time from Sound and Notification > Vibrations.

Battery saving mode does do the trick. I just wish I could disable the lighting without needing the battery saver on

There's an app in the play store that shuts it off and then you can uninstall the app I think it's called galaxy capacitive lights

Can all the keys on the lights to get some regulation to stay constantly on top on (always on) because they are hard to find in the dark?
So how do I get on the keypad lights always on?k
Yeah, I hate this too. The buttons dim out WAY too early during normal web browsing & I'm always searching for them if I'm using the Tab in a dimly lit room.
Im sure this would be easy to hack. I've seen other Android phones be able to apply patches that can regulate the time the soft keys stay lit.
this annoys me too specially when reading ebooks.. everytime i turn the page, the capacitive buttons lit up and its bright!
Did you guys check under display for a how long to keep buttons lit option. On the samsung epic there is an option under display for the menu, back, buttons timeout options maybe that will help. Sorry if I'm wrong

Yeah, there's only an option for screen timeout & that's it.
Did anyone find a solution to this ?
I have just got a Tab and there are a few niggles to sort out to decide if i am going to keep it or not.
Thanks for any replies.
Anyone ?
And I can thought I was the only one getting annoyed by that

I just drag my finger over the screen and they light up, easy solution
Hi,
Has anyone found a method of disabling those bl***y button lights. I purchased this device mainly for ebook reading at night but the lights popping up like search lights every time I turn a page is very annoying.
ok, you can touch the display to get buttons backlight back on, but that is still pretty annoying. Isn't there any way of controling buttons backlight individually?
One solution would be to recompile the lights library
Code with fix available here:
https://github.com/cmsgs/android_de...mmit/87f51dbe93d153990b14a0e000c0db36f84a0adc
Seems like only the Korean rom have this function of setting the duration of 4 button lights option.

Would be nice if some kind of application ortweak wouldmake it possible to keep button light on idd. In the shade or dark its hard to see.
Yeah, I too wanna keep the LEDs (Home, Back, Send and End) on the HTC Fuze constantly on, or at least stay on longer than the few seconds as it does by default. Can't seem to find a solution, only similar requests...

this is an old issue which is default for gingerbread for samsung galaxy tab.
several solutions I know of
1.replacing the file which controls the lights-here(needs root). this is the one I am using but it is timed and everytime you touch the screen it goes on,I can live with that.
2. using overcome kratos
3. using buttonbacklight widget(from market)-with this one you will be able to set lights off or on.....also needs root.
Bit late but u could use some scripts to turn on/off backlights, root is needed.
Code for off script
chmod 644 /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness
Code for on script
chmod 644 /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness
Code for restore to stock script
chmod 644 /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness

&& Use TASKER to do a LED LIGHTS OUT &&
Biopsin: Thanks for the tip.
However, it is overwritten each wakup, so using TASKER I made it that each display on it executes as root "echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/leds/button-backlight/brightness" and it WORKS PERFECTLY! I never really needed the lights on the buttons, I know where they are ... super cool!
My eBook screen is too dull even with my "settings" for screen brightness set to max.
How can I make my eBook screen bighter please?
Thanks in advance.
Try disabling power saving option in display settings. Menu settings display and disable power saving.

Open a book. Tap in the middle of the page open the settings (gear icon, second left) dissable auto brightness. Brightness of the ebook app is independant of the system brightness.

aibo - you are a genius - that has worked perfectly and i am now "a happy man" thank you.
hi, i was wondering if it's possible to disable the 'back' and 'home' keys' illumination at the bottom of the display next to the htc logo...
it's an option on the GS3, so i thought i'd ask... thanks in advance.
Probably
I would think so, I'd just start looking in the system files and mess with some settings, I'd help, but I have yet to receive my One.
Also, I'm sure someone will eventually do something like that.
are you rooted? I have a way to dim or turn off but you need root

I am rooted and would be interested in this.
Somewhat related note, you wouldn't happen to know how to enable software buttons would you? Adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to the build.prop does not work for that.
i do not have the phone yet, 4 more weeks til my upgrade eligibility date...
i am on the fence between the s4 and the ONE like many others, but i think i am pretty set on the black ONE :good:

Just got the 4.2.2 update today which installed fine.. sites all over the internet claim this should remove the annoying Power Saver notification.
Unfortunately this hasn't happened for me, I can only remove the notification by turning the service off or using the force stop option in App info.
The 'show notifications' checkbox is greyed out in App info.
Can anyone shed any light on this, I want the Power Saver mode on - just without the permanent notification!!
Thanks,
Mark

There is an app in the Play store :JMZ Power Saver Disable or something close to that that does exactly what you want.

It's removed only when the power saver is off.
Photosphere/Power saver notification/Developer options
I've seen that the Photosphere application/feature, Power saver notification and the Developer options button is removed from settings...............these seem to be missed somehow

I was wondering what people do for flashlight capability on their phones. Which app/widget do you use? How do you access it? How quickly can you get to it when you need it? Maybe it's just me, but I like having access to a light quickly and easily.
I've gone through a few methods:
1. First I was using the assistive light widget on my home screen because it has virtually no delay and a very built-in look to it, but it's just too dim and the brightness cannot be adjusted. And to use it, I have to get to my home screen first.
2. I started using the smart flashlight widget, which uses the full brightness capabilities of the camera flash LED. It also looks nice but has a slightly longer delay than the assistive light. Still, it's just a widget and to use it I first have to turn on the display, swipe to unlock the phone, and then click the widget.
3. I wanted faster access, so I tried using a home screen widget. Tiny Flashlight + LED has one, but that still requires turning on the screen, swiping (1 or more screens) to the flashlight widget, and then clicking on a full-screen button. Still not very speedy or efficient, and I'm not a fan of the "multiple widgets" lock screen anyway.
4. Just now I set things up using Tasker, which allows you to automate a flashlight using the TeslaLED tasker plugin. Basically I set it up so that when the lockscreen is visible, the TeslaLED flashlight is toggled by shaking the phone. So far it seems pretty efficient but I'm a little concerned it will misfire on me.
It would be cool to turn on the flashlight with a combination of hardware buttons, or have a toggle button as one of the quick apps on the lock screen, but I don't think either of those options are possible.
So for anyone else who likes quick access to their flashlight, what do you do?
With the screen off I use the long volume up toggle from wanam. With the screen on I use the stock widget.

Wanam for sure. Of course you need root. Without root I've used both the assisting light and smart flashlight.
