The "internet button and mail button" have a white backlight. And of course the green and red button have a backlight as well. Anyone figure out if these can be disabled,I would imagine battery life may increase.

So far no. No2Chem is working on something right now in conjunction with his back light screen dimmer (that I never go to work). As far I know there is no other app that will control them. If there is that would be nice to save a little bit of juice.
The lights aren't really necessary so that would be nice. I'm sure most people know where those keys are in the dark. Fairly simple one on each corner.

Hi guys
Had my galaxy s 2 through T-Mobile for a few days now. Beats HD2 running TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 hands down.
I've debranded the phone, running KE7 XEU and rooted via chainfire's insecure kernel.
However I've noticed this morning that the capacitive buttons are no longer lit up. The power is very low and needs charging, so I was wondering is this normal? A sort of built in power saving thing perhaps?
I'm not actually running power save mode, but suddenly the buttons aren't lit, however they still work?
Any ideas.
Thanks
Yes, that's normal. Search the settings, you can customize the behaviour.

Thanks for the swift reply.
That's a relief!
I've just put on the Case Mate Tough case and suddenly the buttons didn't light up - thought maybe I'd somehow broken it!
I can see power save settings and an option under display to specify the touch key light duration, but not nothing specifically regarding turning off touch key light power saving mode when battery low. Am I missing something?
Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do. When the power is low the buttons won't light up. For me it's not the end of the world as I know where they are.

Is there a way to prevent the LED from turning on when its bright outside? I know that on the stock rom that their is a feature where it turns on and off automatically and is wondering if theres a feature/ mod for this.
You can set the light levels manually for the screen and the buttons when you have auto backlight on, but the button levels don't seem to have any effect. Not sure why, I'd also like to know the answer to this.
While I don't have an answer for this, it has been proved out the battery drain from the touch buttons being lit up is near negligible.
The touch button lights being on with bln, at least for the time being, doesn't cause battery drain, it's the process that turns them on for a notification that drains the battery.
So I guess that was a long way to say, why do you want them off?

Has anyone found a way to turn off the backlight for the search button? I was able to turn off all other capacitive button backlights but the search button for some odd reason, even though I changed it in file manager.

This is light bleeding from the screen
I have it too, just keep the buttons on dimmest settings, so it's not off completely.

Hey all,
So I just flashed MIUI 2.4 to my Galaxy Vibrant and all went well but, when I press the power button or when the screen times out on its own, the bottom bar (the one with the Home, back and options button) light comes on and doesn't turn off. This is causing some serious battery drain and I'm not sure why it's happening... Any thoughts?
Cheers!

there is a feature that uses the button lights as notification lights.
you might try clearing the notifications and turning the screen off to see if its still doing it.
if the lights go out then that's it.
if you want to disable it, I believe the option is in settings (I'm not currently on that rom or I'd check)
How to shut off capacitive buttons from lighting up? Did Samsung remove this feature to shut off and change duration?
Yep,,,sadly they seem to have removed this option. Annoying.
Looks like we weren't the only ones to notice

Thanks. At least it is something to use at night.
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
