How to turn off touch button backlight? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to turn off the touch button backlighting? I put on a SGP glass screen protector and it's a little off center so the lighting doesn't match up perfectly. I just wanted to turn it off...it'll look a lot better!
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks

I didn't see the menu option. Sorry! Please close.

I have the Settings in German so the names can differ...
Goto Settings, Screen, Touch-Key light duration, choose Always off.
KI3, can differ in other Firmware.
Edit: too late

[Q] Keep the Soft Buttons lit

I really wish the Vibrant had hard buttons like the G1. To make matters worse, the soft buttons turn off the backlight very quickly. In the dark, it's impossible to hit the right button. I have had the phone for 6 weeks now and I still don't hit the right button. I have looked all over to see if there was some setting that I can use to at least keep it lit while the phone is on. But I haven't found one. I saw someone mention that this is possible on another site. I'd love to know how if it really is possible.
I believe that I read somewhere that there isnt a way to keep softbutton backlight lit without someone making a custom kernel for it.

Yup. Goto settings > sound&display > keyboard timeout and change it to "Same as Screen timeout"
'tuna
Went there, there is no keyboard timeout selection.

Right, no keyboard timeout option.
I kinda have the OPPOSITE request. I'd like to keep the bottom buttons from lighting up at all. I use my phone a lot to read ebooks in the dark, with the screen set to black and the font set to a dim white, screen brightness all the way down. The soft buttons do not match screen brightness, so every time I scroll the page while reading, the four buttons at the bottom light back up and are blindingly bright! I HATE IT! If they weren't so bright it wouldn't be a problem, but I'd like to see a way to disable them completely so they never come on. I know where the buttons are (c'mon it's not that hard) and so I really don't need to be blinded like that.

screen sensitivity

Hi, thought it was just the go launcher causing this but it looks to be an issue with the phone. Sometimes screen presses don't register, seems a bit random, where pressing harder always work. Seems to me sensitivity has been set a bit to low. Anyone else noticing this or is it just me?
Just you mate, capacitive screens don't respond to harder presses especially since the S2 has a gorilla glass display, what phone are you coming from?
I know that but it really does work better if my press is harder or more defined if you want to put it that way. I come from a HD2, no issues with that, could be a duff screen.
edit: ok there is something wrong here, now it starting bring down the the notifications bar when i click on some icons, odd behaviour.
wonder if its something to do with my phone being set to 190 density, I will have a play
no joy with density change, think my screen is duff.
seems to be a latency issue with the digitiser, if I do a quick touch, say like i am typing it doesnt register at all when I click an icon, if I click and hold an icon for slightly longer (not long enough to bring up the screen edit it options)it is ok, which is why i suggested that pressing harder made it work, its not the pressure its the time my finger is held against the screen, a sensitivity issue, its like the software is being told to ignore light touches.
Typing texts etc is ok, just seems to be an issue on the desktop and drawer when I am selecting icons.

[Q] Button Backlight Notification

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).

Oops! Didn't find that option, can you please tell me where it is? And also is there a way to turn the screen LED notification Off?
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".

Screen..

Hi
Strange one, when I select internet the screen dims and when I come back out it goes to the correct display brightness. I have checked the settings but cant see a reason for it . Any ideas ?
Cheers
sr
All sorted.......found setting.
There's a brightness adjustment inside the browser menu, it's likely that one of the power saving modes is checked in there, just untick it.

LG V30 always on display and KnockON features in low light don't work

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.
