Lights on Hard Buttons - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Does anyone know how to disable these light on the hard buttons?
It's very annoying.
Please let me know.
Thank you,

root. there is an app to keep them off.

The program is called LEDs Hack (Root only).

Thank you! Works wonderfully

In cyanogenmod there is a setting in the auto brightness tweaks that will allow you to turn on or off the soft key lights at certain ambient light conditions.
If you turn of the soft key lights and enable the red render effects it makes a neat night mode that isn't too disturbing when watching a movie at a theater.

Home key illumination?

Hi. I'm sitting here in bed and the wife is complaining the home key lights keep her awake. I'm using shadow rom with the red nightmode render. Just gotta turn these lights off. Ideas?

Are you rooted? If so, the app "LEDs Hack" in the market will do this. It can be configured to turn them off automaticall when plugged in, which is how I have it set.
Perfect. Thank you.

I have used this app forever... I never have home keys illuminate no matter what.
LEDs hack is a sweet app. Kinda glitchy but essential if you use it as a desk clock or read e-books on it.
Also has a plugin option in tasker!

(Q) Auto Screen Brightness

Is the screen brightness supposed to drastically change when auto brightness is enable. I've been playing around with it and noticed that when auto brightness is enable the screen will drastically change in different lighting conditions (with a couple second delay) For example, ill walk into a darker room the screen will get a lot dimmer after a couple of seconds and v-versu. The reason I asked is that my eco 4g would gradually adjust to point t where I didn't even notice.

I've noticed it rapidly changing like it can't decide a few times, and overall it's a bit too dim outdoors. Coming from an Evo as well and I never noticed it changing either.
Just going to keep an eye on it, not a huge issue for me. Might see if there's any way to override and manually specify the auto brightness thresholds.
There's a second setting called "Auto adjust screen power" further down on the display page - it could be that. It's some sort of thing that analyzes what's actually on the screen and tries to adjust for it.
I think it may just be a samsung thing. I have a Galaxy Tab 7" and I noticed that it was doing this as well, and it drove me crazy. I just went into settings>display>brightness and turned it down manually to just under halfway indoors and if I know Im going outside, i turn it all the way up.
Ive also noticed thst it was auto adjusting even when i had it disabled which was probablt the "power adjustment" thing... But once i caught it turning the brightness down to "prevent overheating"!?

Really?! Thats bizarre. I wonder if it will constantly have the screen down while wireless tether is running.

Thanks. I also have auto adjust disabled. Since others are seeing it then I assume its a Samsung thing. Ill wait to see if others confirm. BTW this may just be me being a geek. I notice every little thing. The other is that the buttons at the bottom of the phone aren't as sensitive as the eco.

A tip I read somewhere but haven't tried yet is to turn auto brightness off and when you do, hold down on the notification bar (don't pull it down, just hold a finger on it) and slide left or right to adjust brightness on the go. Not for sure if it works but give it a try (I'm chargin my phone while it's off now so I can't yet).

It works. I just tried it. That is pretty cool!
Worked for me too. That's great. Thanks. Where did you read that? Are there other tips?

This was a feature in the original epic as well. It is pretty cool. I just use this to change brightness . The only time i change is when i go out in the sun.

Can't remember anymore besides the screen shot one which has been mentioned. Tap home and the power button simultaneously. Also can't remember where I read it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
I would honestly say its a combination of things BC I have used roms where its totally obvious (on froyo) where on others its completely impossible to notice the change.

They kept the good features from the Epic. I like the feature in "Contacts" where you can swipe right on a contact to call them and left to send a message as well

I've had the brightness at the max, and turned off the Auto Adjust Screen Power option. Just while browsing XDA the screen dimmed, and when looking at the brightness setting it states "To avoid overheating, maximum brightness has been reduced.". This has happened at least three different times.
I'm hoping this isn't a serious issue. Have you had it do that multiple times for you as well?

[Q] LED Notifications

Since there isn't an LED light specifically for notifications, is there a way to make the LEDs for menu, home, back, and search light up for said notifications? It would be even better if each one lit up for specific apps so I could know why it's lighting up before I even turn on the screen.
Thanks for any help!
My suggestion would be NoLED.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing, but was hoping one could take advantage of the buttons' LEDs.

The closest we can get to LED notifications is BLN. You need to use a BLN compatible kernel and use the app BLN Control.

I'm trying to tweak some things on system tuner and my phone rebooted (but took a bit to turn on) my blood pressure dropped, I thought I killed my phone!
But after some reading.. it pretty much means the phone does not like those settings, change them.. right? Phone works fine now though, but I was wondering for future reference

Yeah, basically. If you are undervolting, you need to take tiny increments to make sure the phone is stable before going any further.

[Q] Is it possible to turn off capacitive button lights? [Solved]

It bothers me when I'm playing games on the phone and the bottom lights come up all the time. Is there an app that can turn the lights off for me?
Or is there a tasker program that will allow me to turn it off? Any help is appreciated!
Running CM10.0 Stable on my galaxy s3
If you are on cm10 then settings and device options and sensors and back light de-check the box.

Thanks! Worked perfectly. Guess I should've messed around with the settings a little harder :facepalm:
On the other hand is it possible to keep the capactive buttons on the whole time as long as the phone is on?

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Yes there are settings for it that keep them on shorter or longer. My wife's relay uses this same setting to control the backlight on the slider keypad as well!
Look in DISPLAY and see if there is "touch key light duration" I have stock rom (actually wicked, based on stock) and I have 1.5 (default), 6, off, on as the 4 choices.
Yea permanent as long as the screen is on though! Thanks for replying man but I'm on CM10 that rom has a slightly different configuration.

No don't think so. Might be an app for it or mod with in the forums, maybe elesbb can jump in, he knows how to write code for such a thing I think.

Screen/Vibration issues

My phone all of a sudden is acting weird.
My vibrate doesn't work for the bottom buttons, the back and menu buttons.
My phone screen image shakes, or shutters, slightly and dims the brightness automatically.
I have checked the vibration settings. The automatic brightness isn't checked in the browser. I'm pretty worried though about the screen shaking. These all seem to be combined somehow.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you enabled power saving mode? Disable it if so.
