Did you try holding the power and volume down button? My keys wouldn't light and after the 3rd time I did that they started working.
I have the same issue.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.

Whenever I watch netflix on my note the menu soft key lights never turn off. Does this happen with any body else and is there a way to turn them off?

Only way to turn them off is going to phone settings and display and then touch lights and click never.

You could use screen filter from the market and leave the filter super high and check the soft key back light toggle
The theater leaves them on so you can get to the restroom safely.
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.

Is there a proximity sensor on this device?
I thought I'd download smart screen on (an app) to lock and unlock the screen when I close the cover, but nothing happens.
