These leds are tied to the keyboard light timeout.
Settings ----> Display ----> Keyboard Timeout
Set this to 3 seconds and voila...lights go bye bye.
Let me know if this helps.
i know what you mean but 3 seconds isnt that bad.
There should be an app on the market called no led, works for the hero may not work for the epic but worth checking out...

Can anyone tell me where the setting is that blacks out the screen during a call?
What happens is when I make a call and navigate away from dialer it will black out the screen and not let me poll down the dialer again before it blacks out again.

Is your hand in front of the sensor on top of your phone? Sometimes when I even shadow it a little bit, it will turn the screen off.
Hmmmm, I see the sensor now. Ya know I might just be blocking it when trying to drag down the top bar. Next time it happens Ill try avoiding it to see.

I really hate how the capacitive buttons are so bright, is it a way to fade them? please help!
i dont think there's a way to reduce brightness in the capacitive led's. You can adjust the time-out from 3 to 1.5 seconds... but that's about it.
i know how you feel, especially when im using the kindle app in night mode, the capacitive button slight up every time i touch the screen or turn the page, and despite the screen being on minimum brightness, everytime the capacitive lights come on, they blind me. I have since resorted to physically turning off the capacitive backlight completely when im using the kindle app.
if there is a way to reduce the brightness on them, i'd also love to know about it.
I think the only solution is wait for a developer to modify that with a diferent kernel script, meanwhile Im using Screen Filter app to disable the soft-keys light, its not perfect but my eyes are resting now lol, I hope a nice developer see this thread and try to come out with a better solution.
CM7 has a capacitive button dimmer if I'm not mistaken

I saw it but I dont think CM7 is ready for a daily driver rom and I dont know if its actually a dimmer to lower the light or just to activate it as notification lights
I want to be able to change how fast the led blinks bc every time I look at it I have to stare at it for at least 30+ seconds to see if I have a message. Thx

If you're rooted you can use the app called light flow. It allows you to change the color of each notification light and the frequency it blinks at

Light Flow
You can use the Light Flow app to manage your notifications. You can alter the light speed (slow to always on), and light color, along with vibrations.
It's nice to be able to know whether or not you got an e-mail or a text, with only the vibrations in your pocket.
Check the market, comes in a "Lite" (free) version and a $1.99 full version (more apps supported).
Root is not required. I've been using it on my nexus since the day I got it.
Careful with Light Flow, When I installed it and set it up, whenever my phone went to sleep mode the program wouldn't allow my phone to wake up again. I summarily uninstalled it and got a refund.

An update from the developer takes care of this issue. The app works as advertised, quite well too.

I also recommend Light Flow, it has worked flawlessly for me. I really like how it allows you to choose whether you want the LED to rotate through all your notifications, show the most recent, or show the highest priority.
You don't even need to be rooted to use light flow!
is it possible to add WhatsApp to lightflow?
(I see its supported in "additional apps supported by light flow", but the device only detects Google Talk in social apps)
Yes, default colour green.

Go with Lightflow. Another nice feature for us crackflashers is, Lightflow will let backup your settings/preferences so once you set up a new rom and install the app it takes 2 seconds to restore your settings.

Recently whenever I enable lightflow in accessibility my phone gets all ****ed up and I can only do something if I use 2 fingers
Smart Stay is the new feature from the Galaxy S3 that uses your front facing camera to detect that you are looking at the screen so your screen will not turn off if you don't touch it within your screen timeout period. I installed it on my Nexus 7 and my E4GT and it works pretty well.
The only issue I have experienced is it doesn't seem to work well in bright light conditions and allows the screen to turn off even if you are looking at it. The advantage if you can get it to work well for you is that you can set your screen timeout very low to save battery.
It's called Smart Stay EX. There's a free Lite version and a paid version in the Play Store.
That's pretty useful - thanks for the heads up. I have a habit of pressing my lock button whenever I look away from the phone, so I'm not sure I'd get much use out of it, but it's stilk a really cool idea.
I do that too. I set my screen timeout to one minute and usually turn it off manually. Kind of fun to play around with new stuff

It just stays on when my phone is off but it's dim. Maybe i'm going to have to take it to sprint for a tech to look at it.

Isn't that the motion sensor? So the phone can detect your hand or face etc near the phone for certain things.
Sent from my Galaxy Note II using XDA Premium.
I think that is normal since mine also does that. It is some sore of sensor. Sort of creepy...
If you go to settings and then to the motion settings, uncheck the option for quick glance and this should fix yalls issue.
Ok, so your yours does the same thing also? But it didn't do that before i don't thing.

That's one of the sensors. It can be disabled under the motion settings.
My sensor did this one before also....a reboot solved it for me though

I just turned on the Quick Glance feature and the faint red glow came on. I can't use this feature however because I use the flip case, so I turned it back off and the red glow went away.
Thanks for the help people.. i now know actually why the red light stays on for the quick glance feature. It stays on so you can run your hand over your screen when it's off so you can see the time for an brief moment.
