First I noticed that my Haptic keys no longer light on. The phone is not rooted.But I have a feeling its my proximity sensor.
I was using tab tab app to unlock the screen.
Tried it again and its not working.
Any ideas.

The first proximity sensor next to the front speaker has like a red infra red light..
Anyone else notice this?

Mine does the same thing. It's for the direct call feature for texting. If you turn direct call off in your motion settings you won't see it anymore.
It's the proximity sensor.
It is OK to light up and it will do that with any application that uses it.
It's much more noticeable in the dark.

yup its the proximity sensor.
its the sensor that turns off the screen when you place the phone near the ear, so that you don't activate touch functionality of the screen by mistake.
The infrared is for Smart Alert that turns on after the predetermined time you have your screen to turn off. It will turn red for like 2 seconds to see if youre still facing the phone. If it doesnt detect your face the screen will dim as usual.
The smart stay feature uses the front facing camera not the proximity sensor. The proximity sensor is the sensor closest to the speaker grill.

I don't know if that exactly accurate as I have seen the eye icon show up for about a second while my phone was not in front of me and the proximity sensor turns red. After this my screen dims. Its possible they work in conjunction.

Odd I don't get a red dot.. but my put to ear thing works.
It's really dim. I only saw it at night in the dark.

Any ideas how to turn them off forever. By turning off I mean not disabling them, but turning their light off ( like it automatically does on the sun, or the bright light )
I hope I've chosen the right place for a topic. Thx for further help.

I could disable them with Superdim app.

My phone's softkeys have started to fail and as such, I've started using an on screen replacement. What I'd like to do now is make it so the backlight for the soft keys stays off, or even better, if I can somehow completely disable them from responding to touch as well... Maybe a build.prop edit or something? They work just sporadically enough to be annoying at this point...
I use root dim from the market. Sometimes you have to set it again, but works pretty well

Kernel Tuner allows you to adjust the brightness as well.
Cool thanks guys.
What app are you using to replace the soft keys, because I have the same problem.

So my evo display has stopped, soft keys light up and phone boots. Can actually control the touch screen but the display does not show anything, anyone have a suggestion?
