Is there any way to dim the touch keys? On my white s3 they are the brightest in low light conditions. I know I can shut them down in the system menu without a hack, and but I like to see them in daylight.

Would be great to have an option to dim them....

I don't think there is a way to dim them.
I just turned mine off, they were way way too bright.
I know where they are anyway...
Yeah. Good point. I know where which key is too, but my wife doesn't, and on her HTC her keys are switched in function.

On my og evo they would go off in bright lights. These stay on when screen on? Mine do. Normal?

Yes, this is rather annoying. I have seen people on here mention that theirs shut off of they hold a flashlight to the.light sensor, lol. Hopefully it cam be corrected with a software update, to adjust the sensitivity of.the light sensor.

Ya they stay on all the time unless It's super bright. Just tested a flashlight and it shut them off. I'm sure a future software update can fix it.
One thing I really like about Samsung phones is that the soft key lights auto dim after not being used for a certain period of time. Is it possible to implement this onto the attic?

Most roms like cm7 already have it included like in auto brightness.

Darskide 4.5 has it dimmed from what I recall.

What I'm referring to is when the screen is touched or soft keys are pressed, they light up to full brightness. After 2 or 3 seconds of not touching anything, they turn off, rendering black. I find this to be very useful while watching YouTube videos in a darker environment, as the soft keys will be completely black.

How do I get them to light up? I can't find anything in the settings
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
They should automatically light up.

If you're in a bright room or outside and it's sunny they won't light up. If you're in a dark room or outside and it's dark they should light up. If they are not then I recommend you reset your phone, if it's not ok after reset then you should return the phone and try another one.
Ok I'll keep an eye on it thank you for the help

Cover your light sensor in the top left to test if the lights are working

HTC is notorious for having poor performance of those lights on their phones. The Thunderbolt did the same thing, but since the sensor was on top of a black background, a good trick was to cover the sensor with electrical tape so the lights would stay on all the time.
They never seem to come on when they should and they always seem to be on when it's not needed. :silly:
I was comparing this phone to my galaxy s3. The s3 is so much brighter. I know there are many threads about different screen issues but none that talked about the brightness. Do I possibly have a defective one? Is there a tweak for this? Has anyone else experience this and was able to fix it by installing a custom Rom?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
They both have different types of screens. The GS3 has an amoled display. The HTC one has an SLCD3 display. Different properties of displaying color and brightness. BTW when it is dim, do you have it set at auto brightness or none at all?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
It's not on auto. Power save is off along with everything else. So it's on maximum brightness. So basically amoled is the way to go.

You came to the wrong conclusion
All the reviews with benchmarks on screen brightness all show the One to be much much brighter than the S3 and S4. My guess us your One is defective, A quick trip to an ATT or T-Mobile store will confirm that.

Hello I just was wondering I just switched from the noteb2 to the s4 and for some reason it seems the note 2 screen was brighter than the a4 and easier to see in sunny conditions. Is it true? If so can I fix it somehow? I would of thought the newer phone to be brighter.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
The s4 is a lot

I thought the disply was the same not counting the size difference. Did youvtry adjusting the brightness in settings?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The s4 is a lot brighter to me what are your display settings? I did the same switch.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Auto adjust screen tone is checked and auto brightness. But even at 50% brightness it seems darker than note 2. Noteb2 I left on auto and in sunny spots could see fine. Hmm
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Also all power saving enabled
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
To me the S4's screen gets much brighter than what the Note 2 could do... but more importantly it's a lot CLEARER which counts a lot more for my eyes. If your concern was brightness than you should have bought an HTC One or G2 honestly (anything with an LCD Display).
What are your settings? Do u have power saving mode enabled? Does kernel or ROM make a difference? I just like to use auto

Not sure if rom makes a difference, I've only been on Stock rooted ME7 so far. I use auto with adjust screen on and no power savings. If you want it to seem brighter you should turn off power savings and adjust screen tone... I actually like the warmer tones it adjusts whites to but I can see how some people would not. You shouldn't really need power saving because the battery on this thing is pretty good, but if you want to save battery the right way just root and use Greenify and you'll be set. I can go a day and a half easy with Greenify. I've also heard that the app Lux is really good for saving power, it basically replaces the auto brightness and gives you tons of more options, but I haven't tried it myself.
