Does anyone know how to disable (turn off) the green and orange battery led's when the regular powercord is attached, the led's are quite bright at night
Ralph
Put a rubber band around it or lie it on top of somthing soft faced down (that's what I do)
No softwareway to turn it of that I know of, maybe when you've got root and stuff. But the options I mentioned arent that invasive (hope i say i right)
You're supposed to actually CLOSE your eyes when sleeping...
Or you can be like me; needing lights to be able to sleep. I would go nuts if it was pitch black around me when trying to sleep

Is there a way to turn off the blinking light on the front near the antenna? It really annoys me.
Granted having it come on when you are charging is fine, but the constant blinking gets on my nerves.
Try finding a silver sticker, cut to size and stick over the light, the charging indicator is also available under settings/power so you arent losing much. Heath Robinson rules.
Since I knew everyone would think I lost my mind, I verified this for weeks before posting it...so here it goes!
When I charge the device at work (with the power on), it sits on my desk about 16 inches under my overhead cabinet that has fluorescent lights underneath. The lights somehow triggers screen actions on my HD2! It's the strangest thing I've ever seen! After about 30 seconds, the device looks like a ghost is randomly tapping the screen, randomly starting programs!
This NEVER EVER happens in any other condition--outside under sunlight or while the device is on any other surface where the fluorescent light is higher up, like on the ceiling. I have no problems with using the device otherwise.
It's just strange and I'm wondering if anyone else has ever seen this...
hmm interesting.
Might there be power running up inside the wall near the phone too? PC and monitior around it?
could be patches of field building up just enough to fool the capacitive screen, or maybe exciting the grease on teh screen or some such.
Course there has been a lot of talk about ghost taps, is it really only ever happening there?
Could be you need to change the starter plug in the fluorescent, if its a standard strip, they can hold quite a charge, and if its on its way out it could be losing charge to the air.
Especially when you look at how many electrical items we have on/near our desks, easy to build up a standing charge.

Someone also mentioned the fact that the flicker on my fluorescent desk lamp could be the cause. I saw a video where someone was able to "tap" their capacitive screen using beams of light, lasers, etc.

Simple question, I found answers for many other HTC phones or other bands but not for the HTC One yet. Is there a way to force the capacitive buttons to stay lit up? I am coming from a Motorola phone with 4 capacitive buttons (menu back home search) and find myself having to press the home and back buttons multiple times before actually hitting them.
I've noticed they stay off if you have power saver on. Do you have it off and they still turn off?

I turned power saver off and like you said the buttons light up more now, but I was curious if there was a way to keep them permanently lit up?
I would imagine something like that would have to come from a custom kernel
I wish I could turn mine off permanently. I don't like the color they light up. They're not exactly white and it kinda bothers me (yeah, it's stupid, but whatever).

download NoLED. it has an options to permanently turn off the backlight.
My home and back buttons don't light up at all (if I turn off the lights at night for example they will "glow" however). Power saver is off and I did a restart. Am I missing something simple? I know where the buttons are so I'm not going to send it back to LetsTalk, but it is a little aggravating. I do have the phone in an Otterbox Defender case, but they know not to cover up any sensors.

I do know the light sensor has something do with whether the buttons light up or not. If i'm in broad daylight they never light up but in the evenings it's hit or miss.
My buttons don't show up either. I saw in another thread that they only come on when it's extremely dark. It's quite dark in my bedroom as I lie here, but still they're off. I decided to test it by lying the phone face down on my stomach while I lie here. When I pick the phone back up the buttons are lit, but they almost immediately turn back off. It sucks, because it's dark enough in here that I can't see them, and I'm just sort of stabbing around and hoping for the best. Hopefully a ROM or mod will pop up and allow for a fix.

There's an app called Soft Buttons Light in the appstore. It is supposed to either turn the button lights on permanently (while screen is lit) or lets you turn them off permanently. It doesn't require root.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on my One.
If you cover the sensor for a couple of seconds the buttons will stay lit up.ghetto I know lol but still turns them on

The tmobile version of the phone has brightly lit buttons, so it appears to be the att version of the software that keeps the lights dim, probably to try to conserve battery. I have both while I'm testing out the networks, and there are several things like that. The dev version of the rom (or an upcoming custom mod?) should fix it.

With mine it only keeps them lit as long as I keep the sensor covered. Move my thumb away and the lights go out. I've developed a habit of holding the phone in my left hand with my thumb wrapped over the top left, shading the light sensor. I hope HTC adjusts the setting or just adds a toggle for turning them on or off.
Maybe a developer could make a widget...
Hi guys,
Recently, I was using this tablet to play a video under "Stamina mode" and all other energy saving features turned on in Settings/Power Management and discovered a phenomenon that I don't know previously.
A phenomenon was observed, the display shuts itself off at random times when and only when the device is being held up-side-down.
Turning off "Stamina mode" and this phenomenon does not reappear.
I can not think of any reason why this should occur and not when the device is held in any other orientation.
This tablet's screen can be turned on/off with a magnet in cover.
However, if the user decides to relax and use the tablet while up-side-down, I don't see the intelligent side of this in Stamina mode while device is held up-side-down.
Really, try it out on your tablet, this phenomenon is hysterical and quite annoying.
Do you use the tablet up-side-down?
And do you think this is a reasonable feature?
My device doesn't show this behavior.
yes i have noticed it i thought i was going mad.... but i have repeated it several times.. i quite often rest the tablet upside down under my nose to watch the tv then i flip it back up and the screens turned off.!! i thought i must have bumped the power switch or something, but I've repeated it several times now... very odd if is a feature. it's like flip to sleep or something...
i just had a thought maybe in stamina mode it turns this on.... flip to turn off or it's the eye ball tracking thingy when it can't see you looking at the screen it turns it off.....
just had a look in display settings its called smart back light control. but its not turned on.. so it's not that.
must just be the tilt sensor is enabled to turn the screen off when it's tilted flat on it's face..

I have experimented with this several times. It depends on whether or not the device has moved or stationary.
Since, this only happens face down, so it is annoying.
So, it's like telling you not to lying on your back to watch a Firework show using Stamina mode for example.
If you lay the device face down on a table using Stamina mode it will turn off the screen shortly after obviously to save energy.
And if it is held up-side-down it turns off the screen randomly as it detects no motion. So, the user isn't likely to continuously shake the device while looking at the device up-side-down for any reason.
It is quite bright, especially at night. Is there a way to control its brightness?
My Xperia 1 III is rooted if that's needed.
Thank you.
I just put the phone screen facing down
This is a technical forum and expects technical response to the asked question.
That's weird. My xqbc62-v notification LED is dim and has a narrow viewing angle. I can only see it at night.
I think there are multiple hardware revisions of this phone. My first phone was purple and crashed constantly. I returned it and bought a new one later. It's purple, but so dark that it looks back except under direct sun.
I see what you mean now. The BC62 notification LED used to track ambient light and it was always relatively dim. Starting with the Android 12 update, it's max brightness all the time. It's annoying at night.
Yep I can confirm that the LED is much brighter after A12 update. I charge the phone wirelessly at night beside my bed so putting it face-down is not an option. ;-)
What I have found to work is completely unscientific but works every time for me. I use a cable so not sure if it will do the same for wireless. After I plug it in I too notice that the LED is too bright. So I wait a minute or more and unlock the phone with my fingerprint (while the charging cable is still plugged in) and then double tap the screen to relock the phone. I use Nova Prime as my launcher which allows me to double tap to lock. Usually doing this makes the LED dim down considerably. Sometimes I have to do it 2 or 3 times but it always ends up working. YMMV
Anyone knowing a 2ay to disable the LED while charging? Maybe via adb command?
