Does anyone know of any cases that would cover the captive buttons back, home and recent apps? I would love to use the on screen buttons provided I. Paranoid android but its annoying seeing the outline of the captive buttons even though I turn the lights off...

I've done a bit of searching around for this but I think they simply don't make cases like that :/
What about turning off capacitive backlight and then installing one of those mirror screen protectors? Would that have the desired effect??? Anyone using one??

Any way to change that?
The white epic touch has uncomfortably bright capacitive buttons. So I have to use turn off after 6 seconds option instead of turn off never. It still bothers me though. The black epic touch didn't have this problem.
Not that I know of. I've had mine turned off since the day I got the phone. I know what the buttons are and where they are so I dont need them lit up.

It's certainly possible on HTC phones -

i have a white one too, and, yes, the lights are a lot brighter than on the black ones...Plus, I have a wrapsol covering the entire phone, and, they cast an erie glow
through the screen protector.
Actually, this reminds of an idea for a mod that I had. I thought of it when I had a white et4g screen for a little while, the capacitive buttons look so cool because of the slight aura around the lights.
The idea was a mod that lit each individual button when you hit them, except the light would fade in and out quickly; similar to what the on-screen keys do on the galaxy nexus. It would couple well with a mod that would have them light up quickly in succession when the phone is woken up, rather than simultaneously.
Wishful thinking I suppose lol.

That would be pretty cool if it was actually done.

Ever try using 1.5 seconds for the backlight?

I don't think that would be possible, simply because they were never designed to work that way. Each soft key would have to have its own LED.

I'll take a screen apart again today to confirm, but IIRC they do

Are those capacitive buttons still Amoled?
Cause then by definition they have their own led pixels.
Has anyone bought and applied a mirror screen protector? If so, are you able to see the back, home and recent apps buttons if the light for them is turned off? I want to have PA installed with the on screen home, back and recent apps buttons but don't want to be able to see the others at all.....

Don't bother real pain in the arse and makes it worse to see screen in direct sunlight.

I don't think you will see the buttons without them being turned on, you can look for a smaller screen protector that doesn't cover them, you should also be careful as the mirror protection can obstruct the proximity/light sensors.
Ok so with the M7 an amazing developer @tbalden was able to make the HTC logo a capacitive button. Anyone looked at the specs to see if it's possible with the m8? That bloody big black bezel has gotta be good for something!

They had to keep the black bar to allow room to fit the digitizers for the speakers.

Yes that's right but is there anything left over to use as a capacitive button like with the m7?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No. There's nothing left to make them work.

The logo was never capacitive on the m7. Logo menu was possible because a little bit of your finger made contact with the digitizer directly above the menu at the very edge of the bottom of the screen. I'm sure the genius devs we have will be just as creative with the m8.

Well in my opinion it's going to be much easier than on M7 because on my M8 i can :
- Scroll a landscape webpage just by moving my finger on the top 25-50% of the black bar.
- Wake up the phone by swiping grossly my thumb over the htc logo...
So yeah, this time it should be easy to encode buttons on the black bar and remove soft keys.
Is it possible to turn off on screen buttons, and use imaginary buttons on capacitive buttons?

It could be just me but I'm pretty sure your question makes no sense :/
The HTC logo is not capacitive. It is possible to hide the onscreen buttons using immersion mode or a mod.... Are you bootloader unlocked? Rooted? Gpe or sense?...
My bad I thought it was capacitive like the m7

I dont have an M7 but I used it before and the HTC logo was not a captive button. I guess its a mod the woke when u press the edge of the screen
It was a mod. You could use HTC button as menu button

The digitizer extended all the way to the bottom of the device (excluding the speakers obviously) so you could technically map that section to anything you wanted.
As for the M8, not too sure if the digitizer extends all the way to the bottom. Why would they, considering this device was designed with on screen keys in mind.

When i try to press the volume buttons they take a lot of force to activate. Any fixed? Is it the buttons or the plastic? Can the buttons be replaced?
Sent from my One X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes the buttons can be easily replaced. It is possible that dirt has built up inside it or that the plastic has deformed. If you can still press the buttons then i doubt it is the entire flex cable.... Search on ebay for the plastic volume rocker and an online guide will show you how to!
