I just downgraded from the 1.06spl to 1.04 and did the super cid and sim unlock, and everything works as it should except now the keyboard doesn't light up anymore. (another thing that doesnt work is when i install software, it usually says how much space is needed, but no longer show how much space is available?)
any suggestions?

Dumb question, but you do know that the TyTN has a light sensor and the keyboard backlight only comes on when needed, right? If it's dark and the backlight is still not coming on, you have another issue. Make sure the sensor is enabled under Start, Settings, Personal, Buttons, Backlight, and ensure this option is enabled.
Mine doesn't tell me how much space is available when I install programs either...
Brightness setting?
I ran into what might be the same issue recently. I set my brightness to the lowest level, as it was perfectly readable indoors. Later I realized my keyboard backlight no longer worked.
It turns out that the lowest setting is considered 'backlight off', and turns off the keyboard backlight. It needs to be kept one notch higher.
I noticed the keyboard lights only comes on when you press a button.. not when you tap on a writing space or slide open the keyboard..

There may be one more options as well. In WM6 ...
Start\settings\buttons\backlight (bottom tab) uncheck auto sensor and anytime you press a key the keyboard should light up.....
Hope this helps!!!
Good Luck

So, i am trying to disable the auto rotate feature of my titan. i have searched all over and nothing has worked yet for me.
the reason for this is becasue i use the onscreen Touch keyboard alot and my fingers are huge, so having it sideways to display a larger keybaord would help me alot.
i think someone said this somewhere before that it was built into the hardware. the only way to fix this is to have a script or something run after the screen rotates, to re-rotate it back
yup.. no go on this one.. forget u ever even thought about it.
kinda like "ohh it would be nice to have Pocket Outlook auto show internet images."
SPB pocket plus has a rotate screen shortcut, i have it mapped to a hardware button, im sure theres a free app to do this out there somewhere (i use pocket plus anyway so it works for me)
the only downside is if you slide it open and close it the screen goes back to portrait, but then you just hit the button again, lol
I like to read in bed and often my wife falls asleep before I do. I can dim the screen without any trouble, but any time a physical control is activated (trackball, volume rocker, etc) the lights in the lower portion of the phone where the controls are light up REALLY bright.
Is there a setting or app to shut it off?
Are you talking about the keys?

Hi,
Go to Settings > Sound and Display > Notification Flash.
You can disable the trackball flash for certain notifications or you can disable them all and have the trackball flash disabled completely.

But he means the keys' lights. Will this also turn that off?? I know the title of the thread is a bit misleading
Turning the trackball notification off seems to stop the screen and button lights from coming on.
I've just disable the trackball notification for text messages, set my phone in standby and sent myself a text from another phone. The notification sound played but nothing at all lit up on the phone.
Disabling the notifications don't seem to have an effect. Every time I touch the trackball or any other button, the light right up
I also find the backlight of the keys on HTC hero pretty annoying. I can't believe that it's impossible to disable that damn light. There are only 6 buttons and trackball, are they really think that we aren't capable to use them properly?
I don't see what the problem is.
And my trackball doesn't actually light up unless I get a notification of some sort.
Just pressing any button doesn't make it light up at all.
So what exactly is the problem?

I don't know about European Hero, but on the Sprint's one, any time you're pressing a key or the trackball, backlight lightens up. It's damn annoying, and I don't know how to get rid of it.
First of all, I'm not a vampire. I don't often use my phone in the dark. And besides, there is always enough of ambient light from the screen.
So. My questions to HTC guys.
- Why the damn, stupid light?
- How could we disable it?
- And where is our firmware update?
The light is extremly nice :-D I love it, when you are in some loud places and your phone is not in your pocket you can see it light up :-D
If you don´t want that, just downgrade to a 1.8 firmware; there is a bug that the trackball won´t light up, well the firmware is freaking slow though.
BTW: An option to disable the light would be cool (there could be some scenarios where it´s not good to light up).
BB.

So, I'd have assumed that this is the software issue not hardware.
Now I'm sure. So it could be disabled somehow.
But how?

Thats one of the things I like about the Sprint Hero. I wish my Telus Hero Trackball would light up every time it was touched. It is an easy way to light up the buttons in the dark.
Hi
Since there is yet again no notification LED on the SGS2 i was wondering if a Button Backlight Notification like for the original SGS is in the works.
thank you
NoLed already works
I think OP asked for a Button Backlight Notification, not a screen LED notification. If there were application which could allow to glow the touch sensitive buttons (Menu & Back) then it would be great.

NoLed has such an option. Besides, it's not important since the app has an option to shut the display off when the proximity sensor feels something close by (like when the phone is in a pocket or bag).

It's under 'Battery saving features', there's a check box for Dismiss with Proximity Sensor.

Thanks, but if I check that box only the screen goes off with a small red box moving on the screen but the Touch sensitive buttons are not glowing!

Yeah, I meant the second bit (about turning the display off in your pocket or whatever) and even then I think I meant the check box below, sorry - feeling a bit scrambled today.
I'm after something that will light up the touch buttons too

Hmm.......
I've looked that up but I can't find this feature. It looks like I've mixed things up with some forum posts, like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-730692-p-10.html
"The Menu and Back capacitive buttons also light up with screen notification. This has increased battery drain significantly."

Actually the option is "Proximity Sensor" just bellow "Dismiss with Proximity Sensor".
This morning I started having an issue with my edge.
Whenever I touch the screen, both capacitive buttons light up. Causing for irregular behaviour when using the phone. Is there a screen calibration mode or should I return it for a new phone.
Mine does the same thing. I'm pretty sure that's standard.
Agreed. Sounds like normal behavior to me.
I fail to see how this is an issue?
It's an issue in the sense that previously on galaxy models they only light up when you press them. It's a bit ridiculous and waste of battery to have them lighting up every time you interact with the phone.
And for reasons unknown, every s6 excluding the att version has had the setting to turn off the lights removed.

That is not true.
The S5 cap lights also light up when you touch the screen. That is how it should work. It would ridiculous for it to NOT light up every time you interact with the phone (assuming you wanted them on at all).
It would be nice to have the option to turn them off. That doesn't make it an issue--more of a feature request.

If you enable power saving mode it turns them off FWIW.
Fix for this issue
Hi,
please check my reply in the S6 thread on the same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60009456&postcount=12
Hi, I have the S6 Edge. The touch key lights are not working at all. In Settings I have the Touch Key Light duration set to "Always On". Power Saving Mode is off, but they still won't come on. The keys do blink briefly during startup, so I do know they physically work. Any ideas? Thanks
Some times my capacitive buttons stop working altogether. It happened to me twice so far. It lasts about a minute. No response no light, nothing. Anyone else?

This is not on the SM-G925W8 version either.
Sometimes these buttons stop working all together and sometimes they both switch to become the task switcher button. The Back Key will no longer function to move you back a page! Very annoying. I am thinking the only fix might be a complete factory reset??
BTW, when this happens, something is loading in the background. Just before my buttons stop working, a get a very small vibration similar to when your device boots up. From that point forward the buttons don't work. It can last 1/2 hour or up to 2-3 hours before it clears itself up??
Update: I did a factory reset and it didn't do any good. There are literally thousands of posts on the web about this issue and no resolution. If you have this issue, I think you need to send your unit back.
I have a SAMSUNG-SM-G925A running stock AT&T Android 5.02
I dunno, received my Edge today and my capacitive buttons only light up when I click them.
I took my phone back today and Rogers very quickly gave me a replacement phone. Capacitive buttons working well on this one!!
Everything was working as expected and the two buttons (Back and running apps) stopped working, i made a factory rest and it did not help, I am suspecting the cover that have magnets in it and I removed it, shut down the phone for few minutes but it did not help, I will try extending the time it is shut down and see the results.
For those with button light issues try this app "Galaxy Button Lights". I'm not allowed to post external links here but you can find it in Google Play.
Hello,
I'm experiencing a weird problem with my LG V30 H930 and I was wondering what could be the solution, if anyone has ever experienced that as well?
Yesterday I received a new LG V30 phone and that day I found something very disturbing. The "always on display" function does not work when it's too dark in the environment or when I cover the light sensor. This also results in:
- "double tap to wake" function does not work when it is too dark
- holding finger against the screen results in turning off display instead of entering options for changing wallpaper, adding widgets and settings. Additionally when I turn off the screen in this way, I need to press the button on the back of the phone twice, which is also a fingerprint reader and at the right time. If I do it too slowly, i.e. press the button once, wait a bit and then the second time, the screen will not turn on. I have to press it twice and relatively quickly
All of this does not happen when it is bright in the environment.
The phone's never been rooted, there is no custom firmware loaded on it, I've tried many times going back to factory settings.

Why are you covering the light sensor if you want the AOD on?
You are basically replicating a flip case cover or flipping a phone over on the desk. Of course the AOD will turn off under those circumstances. There's nothing wrong with your phone.
With your display on, just quickly press your finger on the fingerprint sensor to display lock the phone and you will see AOD. Well you also have need the "power key instantly locks" option turned on. But I assume you have that on already.
Of course the AOD works in a dark environment. But in this instance, you are covering the light sensor -- which tells the phone you must have it in a flip cover case or flipped over. When you open the case or flip the phone back on, the AOD comes back on. In your fake way, you must be doing something wrong.
Stop covering the light sensor.

I understand your logic, but it is a very weird feature then, not to be able to change wallpaper directly from the home screen, when it is dark in the room or not to be able to turn on the phone double-tapping the screen, which is turned off. Is it perfectly normal as well?

You can change wallpaper and double tap the screen, but go to AOD mode in a NORMAL way. I told you how. Just turn off the display with the fingerprint sensor. AOD. Double tap, display back on.
