Sm - t210r do they light up?
Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk

They sure do, except the home button. The capacitive keys light up, and in settings you can toggle the duration, (1.5 sec, 3 sec, 6 sec, never, always)

Actually, no they do not. They do light up on the 8 inch version but not on the 7 inch T210R.

ow, my bad. I thought I once was at the store and that model had lights too. And since the software functions are overall the same on all of em, I just assumed this version had that too. My bad.

Ughhh. Kinda lame. Oh well

Reduce brightness of capacitive buttons

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.

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.

Are those capacitive buttons still Amoled?
Cause then by definition they have their own led pixels.

[Request]Screenshoting like on Galaxy S III

Hi guys.Do you know any way to take screenshots like on Samsung Galaxy S III.I mean swiping the screen from a side to the other side?I am rooted with AOKP B36.Thx
What's wrong with vol down+power? Seems that would be preferable over a gesture that could disturb the screen you're trying to capture.

How could it disturb the screen? You do know that it uses the proximity sensor, not touch right? Its not like you drag you hand on the screen.

Nope, had no idea. I'd still prefer the button method though. Knowing me, I'd look like a fool waving my hand around over my phone :/
On aokp press and hold power button and then press screenshot.

Sorry my english is not good.
On AOKP, you can also do the power/volume down.

CM9 & touchkey/softkey backlight

Alright, hopefully I'm just being a 'tard and not looking in the right place. I took my phone from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 last night, and I have allllllmost everything set up the way that I want it. The only thing that's missing it the backlight for the four softkeys (menu/home/back/search). I want them to stay lit whenever I have the screen on. I've searched, but all the threads that I turned up were people that couldn't get them to turn off!
Can anyone point me in the right direction, or is it something I just need to get used to?
Thanks,
n1n00b
Its a bug, sometimes they turn on sometimes they don't. I hardly pay attention to them anymore as I've gotten used to it

This is a known issue. They won't work when the screen comes on initially.
If you leave the screen untouched for about 5 seconds, they will come on when you touch the screen. You can also get them to come on by adjusting brightness. They will work until the screen turns off.

Not quite what I meant... I'm referring to the fact that, once they /are/ lit, if you don't touch the screen for a few seconds, they turn off. I want them to be on as long as the screen is on. You can set this to happen in the OEM TouchWiz OS, but not with CM9.

I think I misunderstood. I thought you wanted them to stay on when the screen is on. The directions I gave you do that on mine. What was it you want the keylights to do exactly?
Personally I think the screen brightness is actually too bright except in when out in bright daylight.

[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.

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.

My Pie Control Settings for the Note II

I have set up Pie Control to be a huge benefit for one handed use of the Note II, putting the hard to reach bottom buttons on the right and left sides of the screen. With this set up, I can hold the phone in either hand and not have to juggle the device around to hit the Menu, Home, Back, and Recent Apps and can also activate Voice Search in Google Now.
Here are my settings:
Autostart TouchService: Enabled
TouchService mode: pie
Set gesture input: 2
Add to pie blacklist: Added my games and other things that I touch the edge of the screen a lot with.
Activation area position: Left and right
Activation area thickness: 25
Longpress time: 1000
Animation time: 50
Pie Item 1: Home
Pie Item 1 long press: RecentApps
Pie item 2: Back
Pie item 2 longpress: RecentApps
Pie item 3: Menu
Pie item 4: SearchLongpress < This will instantly activate voice search or s voice
I'll give er a shot brotha. Thanks for this.

I like pie control. I have button one as home, button two as back, button 3 as recent apps, button four as menu and button 5 as app drawer.
The bad thing is the app drawer is pie controls app drawer so it's really leggy when scrolling through apps. I don't see a way through Pie control setting to change to the system app drawer.
On level two I have a few apps like Tapatalk, browser and messaging app. When you select the apps there is a one or two second delay before the app opens. Not sure why..

After it's enabled, you have to start it. Once started, you should see the bars on the sides. Try a lighter color wallpaper if you don't see it.

After selecting something, it takes a little bit to start back. Mine seems to work fine unless I activate it quick and then try to use it again immediately afterward. Maybe it's the apps or actions that you are using that could cause the delay. Just a thought.
I have been unable to make this work on my note 2 from sprint plus it forces close. What do I need to do here I have tried everything that was suggested but it still does not work.
Could someone please tell me how to activate this feature on the Note 2? I did it once a long time ago but now I can't remember how to do it. Swiping isn't doing anything.
