Anyone else having issues with the flash?
For instance it would happly flash on when you hit the thumb button to take the photo... But there doesnt seem to be a way to make the LED just turn on... So more oftern than not you end up with over exposed photos as there is no guide light from the LED.
Also Ive tryed using a flashlight app and that doesnt seem to turn on the LED at all...
Anyone else having simuler problems with the flash?
Im pretty sure the flash is only meant to... flash. I know what you meant though but im pretty sure there is no way to do this at the moment. And the flashlight apps are terrible, they just turn your screen brightness right up.
So I can't seem to figure out why the Soft Touch Button are on, or mostly not on on the One X.
In a dark room they are not usually on, run some app or open something on the phone and they seem to activate.
Anyone else getting this??
They should activate/deactivate depending on the amount of surrounding light.
Tested it myself, with a flashlight on the phone the lights went of. When I removed the flashlight and back in the dark, the lights turned on.
Yes, I got the same result as Foggy79. I just want to know if I can turn if off manually?
Probably not (maybe with a custom ROM, but I doubt that)
I wanna know how to turn them off. When watching a video in the dark.... they stay on, when they should turn off when video is being played full screen.

Use this Rom :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625816
With PKMN Tweaks integrated in this rom, you can control soft key led back light :
* Always on
* Always off
* Turn on when the dim light, turn off when strong light

would rather not go flashing roms to get this.
And how would the tweak help? either it's always on, always off or the last option which would keep the lights on under dim conditions.
What they need to do is add a timeout. like on the Galaxy series phones. 2 seconds or 7 seconds. then it shuts off, when you touch the screen it turns on again.
It's just bad designing and/or programming.

That'sa great idea, which I can't believe I didn't think of. I have been having the opposite problem: the soft key lights always stay on. However, when I held up the phone to a bright light, they turned off. So, they are working.
Still, it takes a really bright light to achieve this; I wish I could fine tune the behavior. I tried an app that stated it would control the keys but it did not work (and my phone is not rooted).
I also see in ancola66's post that the custom ROM allows automatic dimming only in "strong light," so apparently the behavior I am seeing is normal. I wish it would take less strong light to activate dimming/off as my lights never seem to go off, as I stated.
Thanks for these informative posts.
Reading in bed with Aldiko
It mostly annoys me when I'm reading in bed with Aldiko. Aldiko is a great reading app that lets you adjust the lights the phone emits to the lowest possible, so I can read in the dark without disturbing my wife.
However, on this phone I have the keys glaring in my eyes, way brighter than the letters of my book.
I wish I could switch them off somehow.
I thought the soft lights will only turn on when phone is in dark place? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Exactly.. That sucks when lying in bed reading next to your beloved.. It should only light when touching the screen like the s3..I don't need those lights when I sit and read a book or something

There are ways to disable them. Mostly(maybe a must) if you are ROOTED.
Apps that ppl said that were able to shut them off were screenfilter or how its called. Search through the forums here.
Or you can edit the framework-res file to disable them on sense roms. If Interested I will search it from here somewhere.
Or for CM check my signature (there are 2 lines, not the one about the UV...)
They annoy me too. I recently began watching some videos in bed (streaming from desktop) because I temporarily gave away my laptop. They are very bright in the dark, I wish there was an option to turn them off permanently (yes, I know it's possible with custom ROMs, but I'm still not ready to root yet).
Also, the display is still too bright for my taste - lowest brightness should be lower. Although it's pretty good compared to other screens. In my opinion, the lowest brightness is also very important, just as max. brightness.
Hi All!
Just got my OneX yesterday.
All was great until nightfall came and I've noticed that the keys aren't lighting up.
The light sensor works fine, and when I plug the charger the buttons light up, but when I unplug the phone, even in a very dark room - no light...
I saw there were a few posts on this subject before but with no conclusion.
Anyone else encountered this / knows what to do?
Thanks

I find this only happens when the battery drops below a level and Powersave kicks in? How charged was the battery?
It happens at all levels.
When i go to *#*#3424*#* and do Led test it sometimes works qnd sometimes dont, so its not lamp issue.
Any ideas?
Do tour buttons light up every time you cover thé light sensor (the same way the brightness is reduced)?or is it inconsistent?
Anyone?

Try texting yourself?
I'm fairly sure the leds light up when you receive an SMS or something.
Texting didn't work...
I know the led works, its just that it doesn't work systematically. I can be in a pitch dark room and not have the buttons light up, and I can be in a dimmed light room and have them lit.
My questions is if you guys have the same issue, or does your buttons light up every time its dark?
Appreciate all you help!

I'm running a custom ROM so the LEDs behave differently anyway. Can't remember what they were like on Stock (didn't run stock for very long)
I am on 4.4 official ROM and most of the time, when I turn on the screen, it gives me a weird super low brightness purple tint on the screen, as if I have a filter on, and turn off and on again will get rid of that.
Any solutions guys?
Thanks
When I'm in a dark room, I like my phone very dim. I manually turn the brightness all the way down, but when I turn on the camera the brightness goes way up to blinding level. Any way to prevent that?

Just tried it on mine. With the brightness set almost all the way to dim, turning on the camera move it to about the halfway point. If I turn off auto-brightness, though, it doesn't change when I open the camera.

I guess I can work with that. I thought I had auto 'off', but I guess it was on auto.
