Hello,
Is there a way to disable the illumination of the capacitive keys when touching the screen? I come from Note 4 and this is how it was.
It is really becoming annoying for me.
Thank you
Goto settings>display>touch key light duration. Set to always off.

The problem with that is I lose the illumination completely. I still want the keys to turn on when I press them, but not when I press the screen.

As a former HTC Hero user i really miss the option to wake the screen using the bottom hardware buttons.
On the Desire you have to use the power button, but i hate the placement of that button.
Is there a way to use the "menu" or any other bottom hardware button to wake the screen?
BUT i still want to have the lockscreen, so the app which is mentioned in the tricks section on this board isn't cutting it for me since it will deactivate the lockscreen in order to let you use other hardware buttons to wake the screen.
Any other solutions? Isn't there some kind of "hardware button mapper" available like on windows mobile devices?
Just got my Desire today, so I am actually curious about this also.

Yes, but only possible on rooted handsets, no?
Probably :/
damn, don't want to root my desire as i have heard of random bricks.
another question:
is there an app to lock the screen using a widget?
so after i'm done with the current action, i don't want to use the power button to lock the screen, but a widget or a shortcut.
Is there a widget available for that? Or even better a widget to turn of the screen?
I have Lockbot Pro installed and I can wake the screen with any of the buttons at the bottom. Pressing Menu then gives me an 'unlock' bar on the screen which I can press to unlock (or I can swipe the screen in the standard way). Allows you to unlock without pressing the power button at all.
thanks for the hint. the app looks quite nice, but it seems to be very slow.
When waking the screen it takes very long until the lockscreen is shown, and it always shows a different lockscreen?!
also is the an option in the pro version to define a key to lock the screen?
So i.e. i wake the screen using the center navigation pad button, can i define that pressig the button again should turn the screen off again?

If I get what you trying to say here, you can try button saviour(root), there is a screen off and other onscreen buttons features(back/home/menu/vol etc) that's quite handy too.
If thats an app bro sorry not the one im looking for..
Im looking for something to edit in the phone to make the screen off by pressing a custom button, e.i pressing the home twice and the screen is off. Press once and the screen is on.
The power button is too far, i mean my finger needs to jump there just to turn off the screen. If u get me bro..

umm i don't think there is a mod for such a particular and specific personal perference
There are tap to execute and similar app that make use of the Proximity sensor of the phone to wake up phone without having to press the power button.
Personally I only tried softpower.
Description
Turn screen OFF and turn screen ON without touch power button.
SoftPower will safe your physical power button by use Search button or notification to turn screen OFF(and lock) and use proximity sensor changing to turn screen ON.
Note:
-Proximity sensor on device is required for Turn ON function to work.
-To uninstall, do this first. Settings-> Locations & Security(or Security in ICS)-> Device Administrators then uncheck SoftPower.

ive been looking for this too, since ALL SCREEN OFF APPS dont make your phone go into deep sleep resulting into battery drain, only the physical power button can make you phone into deep sleep and auto idle i think, im looking for a shorcut not widget or app to mimic the physical power button so i can set it into gesture and alike to make my phone go into deep sleep
try cm10 fxp150, u can easily lock your screen from notification bar
If you install cm10 I'd recommend enabling the navigation bar and setting the back button long press to make your phone sleep. It's wonderful to use!

I still cant figure out on how to turn off the lights... I have no option for touch key light duration. Is there a way to edit this manually to be set as always off?

Go to Settings > Device > Display > Touch key light duration. Here you can set the time out or Turn it ON or OFF.

This option disappears if you have disabled they keys first. Be sure to disable the lights first!

You must have disabled something else too. I have the navbar enabled, keys disabled and I can still see the option and turn ON/OFF the keys back light.
Has anyone had a problem with the capacitive buttons not lighting up? The back button (on the right) does not light up at all anymore, and the recents button on the left only comes on if I am scrolling on the screen. Both buttons work, just not always lighting up
I'm on my second Note 4 and neither one have I had any issue with them lighting up.
Not sure if this will fix or help, but in settings->display the option "touch key light duration" will allow you to choose how the capacitive buttons light up. Maybe check that setting out and see if you can get anything to change in your situation. Good luck!
Is there no, press on the screen home button??

You can change the navigation panel to show home button
If you're talking about hard pressing on the home button to turn it into a haptic physical button, the answer is no that feature is not present. I do kind of miss this from the note 8 but it's not too bad, it was mainly useful for when the UI froze

Man my note 9 had this feature and it was brilliant. Idk why they remove features and charge more.

They should at least have haptic feedback from the fingerprint sensor like every other phone out there. Just that reassuring vibration that let's you know your pressing something.
