App that turns off keyboard light

Is there an app that will turn off the keyboard lights? i know about Display > Touch Key duration. Thanks

Doubt it. Why would you want to turn off the keyboard lights?

Waste of battery in daylight

Another really great reason to turn them off is so you can watch Netflix at night. Screenfilter works, as do Keyboard backlight controller and AdjBrightness.

You can change it's duration to the lowest settings which is 1.5 seconds in the settings.I did that and trust me it's hardly on. It's in settings - display - touch key light duration.

At some point I was running a battery saver that did this when I dropped below a certain percentage of battery life. It might have been Easy Battery Saver. Then again, it also could have been the built in Power Saver function. Has that been tried?

Did the last two posters even read the thread? Not only did OP say he knows how to reduce the time, I just gave the names of 3 apps that can do it and people are still posting suggestions to reduce the on time.

Yeesh. No need for the hostility. My suggestion was not for reducing the light timeout, but shutting the keyboard light off completely, as was requested. I did see that you posted some apps and I was merely suggesting another app.

Take it easy....I was simply stating that at 1.5 seconds it is hardly on and does not waste much battery.

So that you can save battery and BTW our mind is good enough to remember where the touch captive keys are...

You can use Screen Filter app to do this (just set filter to 100% and unset Enable buttons backlight checkbox)

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?

Is that a app?

Cyanogenmod 10 softkey light settings.

I am using the Cyanogenmod 10 nightly builds and was wondering if there are supposed to be settings to adjust the time out of the softkey lights and if so where am I missing them or is there a possible work around?

You can turn them on or off. That's it.

No way to make them stay on whenever screen is on?

I'm lookimg for that as well. The "unofficial leaked" Samsung rom has that feature.

I could possibly create an app for this. If you change the permissions of /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness to read only, they stay on. But when you shut the screen off the lights shut off, but when you turn the screen back on, they stay off and never come on. So if i created an app to right a value of 1 to the brightness file then change the permission to read only after receiving the screen on broadcast, it should work.
Only issue is, i just reinstalled windows. NOTHING is set up yet other than basic drivers so it might take some time unless someone else has the ability to create it.

That sounds great. No real hurry its more of a quality of life improvement for me. If you or anyone wants to definitely let me know I and I'm sure many others, would greatly appreciate it

Turn Off Wifi Reconnection Confirmation

I have my wifi configured to turn off when my screen goes off. When I wake the phone I always get a pop up message telling me that my wifi has reconnected. Is there any way to stop that pop up from appearing?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Was wondering this myself. It seems a bit random though. Sometimes it does it and sometimes not and as yet I haven't noticed a pattern.
No doubt one of the gurus here will know

I'm hoping so.

Just had a thought. Is your wifi set to switch off when your phone sleeps? Mine is set to always on so I would only get that message if I actually turn the wifi off then on again (just tested it).
It doesn't seem to make any huge difference in battery life to leave it always on in my experience.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I know it doesn't make a huge difference but it does save a bit of battery. I'm using Juice Defender to switch it off. The pop up message isn't a huge problem. I was just wondering if there was a simple hack to remove it.

No worries. I can appreciate how sometimes the small annoyances can make a difference if solved.
My Gnex was so much better when I found how to wake it with the volume buttons... Which reminds me that I must solve that one for this Note

Is LightFlow safe?

Not sure if this is the right place to post it, so sorry if it's not.
Is LightFlow safe? I've read the permissions and they make me.... uncomfortable. How safe is it? Can it access credit card info etc?

Yes its safe.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Yes and it's an awesome app!
Edit:
I felt I should add more here. All the permissions are so that lightflow knows when to turn on the lights you assign to the apps. That's all. The Dev is stand up and extent helpful. No need to worry.

Yes it is safe. Been in your shoes before and decided to give it a try.
Awesome app! Cool to have colors light notification though rather than plain white light
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Been running it since getting my GNex almost a year ago and haven't had an issue. The Dev is on here and is super communicative. Its a must have for anyone with a phone that has a multicolor LED.
I love being able to come up to my phone and immediately knowing it's status without even picking up. My screen time of battery use has probably dropped 20% because of this app.
