[Q] Any way to permanently disable/turn OFF the H,M,B,S capacitive lights??

I would LOVE to permanently disable the lights of the capacitive buttons. I hate the lights behind the Home, Menu, Back, Search buttons and would like to permanently disable them.
Please and thank you!

you can have my EVO; the lights don't work anymore ...

cm has the option for that, also a market app called leds hack can do it on on sense roms

I'm the opposite, I wish mine were on whenever my screen was.

How did you do this? You can change the color of the buttons? I'm on the "Light sersor levels screen" in CM6.1.2 but different values don't do much. 0 under "buttons" turns them off like xjackofall said, but a different color would be nice.

Sounds like a hardware thing.
I wonder if he did the led's at the top too?
That'd be cool....
I've ruined two evo's trying to get it to wirelessly charge

Thank you!

That application in the market just kept asking for permission via superuser. If I act fast i can sneak into the program and disable the lower leds but it's always asking permissions.
Any fix?

I want to use a sense rom but I don't know how to disable the lights on them but on cm7 I just go in the settings and turn them off. Aosp is the best since I have light leakage under the buttons

Confused here... Your title says your phone won't sleep.. But your post says your screen times out (shuts off?)??

Try to delete some recent apps you installed.

I never got to the bottom of this. My screen will turn on after I get a txt or the alarm clock rings.

Those are proscribed behaviors... The phone is supposed to do that unless you dl a mod. I think freeza did a mod for the messaging notifications....

Hope I'm not thread jacking. But they turn on and never turn back off. So if I don't put my phone on the charger at night and then I get a txt, the screen stays on and drains. Or if I snooze in the morning and pass back out, the screen stays on.

Wake locks! Use better battery stats to tell you what the offending app is.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

I'm actually having this issue. Phone will stay on and won't go into sleep. Touch key light duration is set to 1.5 seconds but this stays on as well. And I'm having to reset the phone every time this happens. Could anyone direct me to resolving this issue?

Use better batteey atats to find the app keeping it awake, and uninstall.

[Q] what does the swagger option do in the ktoonz ROM for the at&t S3?

This is a noob question but what does the swagger option do in this ROM from the pull down menu, now I know my way around this ROM but I'm not entirely sure what the swagger option does?

It actually slows down your data. Tiny elves inside the hat hold your data hostage so the rest of us who didn't turn it on can browse freely. PERFECT CRIME

Toggles the, "Way Known to The Emperor".

It doesn't really do anything it's just a little Easter egg or something.

It says in the FAQ, that it serves no purpose. It is also designed to not turn off. Why would you want to get rid of your swagger?

[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!

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?

You mean permanent?
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.

Well those don't bother me. Still usable. But the navkeys are much smoother experience for me in general.

But you lose some of your screen to do this. I guess its a "what suits your own tastes" sorta thing...

Thanks so much for this! I'm going to give this a shot. Not sure if it's really that useful/suits me, but it's always nice to have options.

I have been having some fun with this. Enabled the software keys, disabled the hardware keys, disable the back and menu button lights. Now it just looks like I have a sweet notification light area because you cant see those two buttons when they aren't lit up. I adjusted the pixel density all around to make is so I don't lose any app screen space.
The only issues I have are the icons on the launcher getting cut off on the bottom rows and the camera button is a little messed up, still usable, but there is a dedicated hardware button, so it doesn't really matter.
Now I just need to change the multitask button to a menu button and it will be pretty sweet!

there has to be an app that does this as well.
