Yes, I know ;-)
Settings menu => Display => Touch-Key-... something with light duration.

could you elaborate please ?
with cm7.1 i had the light to stay on all the time for some reason/setting, and i couldnt find any settings for 'timeout of soft buttons'. I found a setting for turning off the 2 buttons' lights..but it doesnt always work.
changed the button's values from 255 to 0 in cm7settings>display>aut. backlight>edit other levels. now the soft button led lights are always off.
theres an app called 'screen filter' that can turn them on and off, if one want to keep that app running just for that. its annoying there isnt any proper settings and adjustment of these buttons..

Hello,
Does anyone know whether the setting for the backlight is hardware or software. I really would like to conserve power by setting the backlight to a lower level and off is not an option.
Currently there are only two settings as you know and the ipaq has many settings.
Anyone know?
Anyone.. Anyone...Anyone
Tap SETTING/SYSTEM/BACKLIGHT the select On/Off menu.
thats not what he meant Chasl.
Bedammit, its hardware. I tried changing the value in a registry key, and it only accepts a value of 0 (off) or 255 (on). I wanted to reduce the brightness as well, but its not possible. you may think abt tinting the screen though!
hmm
Thanks...
I was hoping to save power.
Ho hum
I hope the XDA II has it...
Then again..
I may not get an XDA II
Is there any way to turn it off?
MIUI don't have this option like CM7 or Samsung based.
Thanks
I also use Miui & the softkey leds being constantly on was also driving me mad. The workaround I found goes like this:-
Go into settings/display & make sure auto brightness is checked. Then go into advanced mode/edit other levels. Underneath the first two settings for "buttons" you'll have the values 255. Change these both to 0, then hit save settings at the top of that screen.
Once you've done that, if you're someone who uses auto brightness this should kill the soft leds for good. If you're like me & have your brightness on the lowest possible setting most of the time to save battery, you need to uncheck auto brightness. Then reboot your phone.
Once you reboot, the softkey leds should be gone, and will only return if you turn auto brightness on. If you do that & they reappear, go thru the steps again to get rid of them.
Let me know if this works for you.

Hi guys, I got my sgs3 within the first 1/2 hour of its official launch and I had been playing around with for the past few hours.
Does anyone notice that the screen automatically dim when watching a video on the stock player? I have already eat the brightness setting to max under manual in the display settings. The stock player has no options or settings to disable auto brightness. Is there any way to work around this?

yes where the screen brightness setting is in settings theres another setting below which says auto adjust backlight power or something untick that

Same problem here. Tried that same setting too doesnt help..
The video player has a separate setting for brightness. Go to setting from within the video player to change it.
I did something silly on my SSGII - the controls for brightness in the settings menu were extremely sluggish, so I managed to disable auto-brightness and set it to 0 - this somehow now also disables all input buttons, so as soon as playback starts, the display goes black.
I can only get control back by pushing the powerbutton twice (to 'turn off display' and 'turn on display' again), slide the lockscreen out of the way and as quickly as possible push the back-button before the display goes black again..
This thread is the closest I've been able to locate with respect to the stock player in the stock ROM on a Samsung.
Would anyone know if there's a settings-file somewhere I can edit or delete to get my player back?
Samsung Galaxy SII - ICS 4.0.3 kernel 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913
Cheers!
i am on omega 6. (i am asking in this forum cos i don't know its its omega 6 ROM related)
the buttons are working fine just not lit up.
the only time they are lit up it's when rebooting.
so i think its software issue.
did it happened to anyone else?
anyone can have a direction to how to solve it?
Thank you.
Have a look in Settings > Display > Touch key light duration. What's it set to? If it's set to "Always Off", there's your problem.

Tnx alot . that solved it.
hey guys,
i have this sorta weird issue where my phones light bar is not working properly. i looked all over the thread but couldnt find anyone with this same issue.
i flashed a AOKP custom rom recently, im loving the speed, everythings awesome, but the led bars dont work. the normal theme colour thingie is off, which is understandable, but the illumination bar notification app also doesnt work, and the light bars dont work when i use the walkman that i installed later. but weirdly, u-disco can control the lights, and they also light up along with the notification led for phone notifications like low battery, or battery charging.
i was wondering if anycould suggest a way to get at least some of the functionality back.?
im sure that 3rd party apps can control the light bar cuz u disco pulled it off.
any help would be greatly appreciated

What's your phone? If your phone is Xperia U, search for Xperia U illumination files and download and get ADB server because the RunMe.bat should only be work with ADB and place all files in ADB folder. Then run the RunMe.bat twice in order to be sure. If it's done, now you can get illumination with illumination bar notification app.
That's all? No! You would like to set theme in illumination bar notification but it always turning off.
Now you change your display settings. Follow this fix which is not mine.

- settings --> display --> automatic backlight --> light levels --> edit other levels
- set every "screen" and "button" cells to "255" value
- click "save & apply"
- settings --> display --> automatic backlight --> light levels
