[Q] 10.1“ Disable Capacitive Lights - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I personally don't like having the lights come on all the time and there is no option to turn them off in the settings. Does anyone know how I could disable them any other way?

Is there not 'Touch key light duration' in your Display settings? Both my S4 and Tab 3.0 8" have this setting

Nope

If this is the 10.1 P5210 you are talking about, then the Touch key light duration is found by pressing:
Settings
Display
More settings (bottom of screen)
Touch key light duration
options are
1.5 seconds
6 seconds
Always off
Always on
Cancel
Hope that helps if this is 10.1 P5210

Of course you swiped on the Display page and did not see it. That is interesting.
What version of the P5210 firmware are you using? I am using 4.2.2 and XAR-P5210UEUAMK1. I am wondering if you have a different version and that is why it is not available.

Capacitive button Lights Issue they come on anytime I touch the screen bugged?

Okay, this is really starting to annoy me to hell, On the GT-n7100 only when you'd touch the button area they would light up but the t-mobile version is lighting up no matter what, if I scroll a webpage, move the phone screen to different set of icons it's driving me insane is it bugged? Or the phone like defective?
It should only light up when I tap the capacitive buttons yet any action I take it keeps lighting it up like scrolling a webpage or through the phones apps even. And both phones are set to 1.5 second duration however the T- Mobile version no matter what I touch on the screen lights keep coming on, while N7100 only when I press the capacitive button area. +
Any thoughts?
Completely disagree.
They should come on before you need them - so you can see wth you are trying to press...

galaxy s3 is this way as well. i think its a samsung thing
I would actually like them to stay on the whole time the screen is on. I feel like they time out much to fast.
You can change settings in display settings.

Hm. Good call.
Im well aware of the light key duration thats not the issue. There are no other display settings to control the light keys that I see.
On the n7100 the capacitive buttons would not come on everysingle time I would scroll down on a webpage pull down the notification menu or touch the screen, there is no setting for to get rid of this. The behavior of the buttons is not the same.
The capacitive lights come on everytime you do anything.
Is there away to make it behave like the n7100?

Button lights always on

Hello, I'm currently using CyanogenMod 11 [BR4] and I'm unsure if it's an issue with the rom or my device as they used to work before this rom.
The bottom button light is always turned on when the screen is turned off. The brightness goes down, but they're still turned on at a dimmed level.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Not from my side at least,I'm also on BR4. Well the only way you may try is to change the rom, Try any nightly or any other rom. But in my opinion it has nothing to do with Capacitive sensors. Some sort of light panel issue(Hardware Issue) :fingers-crossed:, not rom itself.

Seems the issue was to do with overclocking. Reduced the CPU speed and seems to work perfect now.

Ok, found the issue, if you put your phone in battery saver mode, you need to go in the restricted performance mode to re enable the light.

Small annoyances with buttons and backlight

I have had the phone for a week now and am reasonably happy with it but there are a few nagging annoyances that I've discovered so I was hoping that someone might have a solution.
1. The capacitive button back-light is useless as currently implemented. they light up after one has been pressed for about a second and then go dark again. Is there a way to have them be lit up any time the screen is on?
2. The screen automatic brightness for some reason in a dark room will go to minimum and then after a few minutes will increase the brightness to maybe 50%. I can turn off the auto brightness and turn it down manually but in auto mode it won't go back down to minimum for several minutes.
+1 on both. Hope it's addressed with one of the next updates
3. Maybe an android issue, but in manual brightness mode, the first 5% of the brightness slider is mega sensitive, while the rest does almost nothing...
Why can't it be more linear? Lol

This automatic brightness issue has been on oneplus x from day one and seems like oneplus 3 also has it. They did not fix it even after 8 months, I hope they fix it on oneplus 3. Create ticket for that so that oneplus is aware.

OTA update has since fixed the auto-brightness issue, but the backlights on the capacitive keys still only stay on for seconds. Has a mod (root/xposed/etc) been created to address this at all? I'd also love for them to remain on as long as the screen is on (and I want to remain on OOS)

Yes, you can use GravityBox Xposed module to keep button backlight on.

Thanks! Worked great
Has anyone noticed that the left side capacitive button backlight is slightly dimmer than right side capacitive button backlight..? In oneplus 3t..
Like there is a small difference in their brightness intensity between the left ans right capacitive button backlight..

Most likely the effect of positioning of the LEDs rather than their intensity.
I leave mine off all the time. I know where the spot is and prefer not to have a bright led shining

Touch Key Light Duration

With my Note 2, 3, and 4DE there is a setting to adjust the amount of time the two front key lights stay on. I usually have them set for 6 seconds, and sometimes have them set for Always on. But when I was trying out a Note 7 a few days ago in a Verizon store, the two key lights were turning off in about a second. I looked in the Settings Menu under Display (where it should be) and didn't see it listed. I hope this was just an oversight on my part and there is a way to adjust the key light time.
My S7 Edge didn't have those settings either, but I used this app without any issues.

I originally used it to keep the lights always on when I was applying a screen protector, but it still works for different durations. Should still work with the Note 7, but if you want to be sure you can try it out in a store to be 100% sure.

The Notes 5 is the same. This is what I use to adjust how long the button lights stay on.

Wow, that is pretty stupid that Samsung took away that user setting. I didn't check to see if the Note 7 had different time values for the display (I use 2 min), but I'm surs that would still be there.
I just tried this app on my Note 4 and worked . Was able to increase the key lights from 6 sec to 10 seconds. Wish I would of know about it sooner....or a Developer include it in with their Custom ROM.
