[Q] soft buttons lights day-night timer!! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. Is there any app or can someone make it for soft buttons light to have a timer?
For example buttons to light up from 22:00 till 08:00 and the other hours to be swithed off.
Sorry if this exists but could not find it from phone.

Damn. Is this so hard to be done? I think it would be very useful.

I'd like this, too. It'd remind me a lot of m old GS II, but I think they removed it, because barely anybody used it.
Better would be if someone could at least make a mod, which would allow the touch-buttons to be on, if it is dark, and off if it's dark, like on the GS II..

its possibe to dim or make them brighter if thats any help,im trying to find away to change the colour of them

There are already off and on when is dark, normally are off, all you have to do is touch them and will be on. ***trolling mode activated***

[Q] Issue: light seeping through touch button

Hi guys
On my SGS2 when the touch buttons are lite part of the light seeps through the gap of the hard button. Does anyone else have this?
I can only see it when it's pretty dark but its very annoying.
I don't have this :s

Yeah, I have it too, but it's not too bad and only visible from certain angles and in a dark room.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yeah I sometimes have itbut almost rarely, and like the other guy said only from certain angles when I'm looking for it. I put pressure on the button in that direction and it disappears usually

Ive got this very slightly on the right hand side. I also notice when im reading a web page with a black background the very bottom left has a white spot/pixel, it goes away when you start scrolling. Anyone else got the same problem?

Glad im not the only one who has this. Worth returning over?

Personally It doesn't bother me, its hard to notice and even when I can see it, its really tiny. So to me not a problem

Im guessing you have Optus stock as well?
When you look at the touch button straight on can you see the light?
Mine has the same issue but i dont care.
I can only see it when I'm using the phone when it's completely dark
My wife has a mole but shes still beautiful, can we not get a little obsessed with perfection with our phones? It is after all the slimmest, lightest, dual core power house smart phone out there....forgive its quirks?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
My phone did this at first but it went away after a couple weeks as the home button got better seated through use. Definitely not worth returning over.
same here, right hand side!
this was the reason for me to switch off the button lights in settings. looks better anyway
It has to be pretty dark...
didnt realise you could turn the light off
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
send it back, complain to samsung, demand they redesign the handset!
erm...
This will make it heavier and bulkier!!!
Happens to mine and there is NO PROBLEM with it. Be happy!

And more expensive. All these perfectly good handsets getting returned for new ones have to be paid for somehow.
I switched mine off looks so much better, per sonly I wish it was all black like the nexus s, i think that looks so sexy
Have it too, but dont matter !! I am a perfectionist too ( 620 euros it is for a phone !! ) but i think... i mean ... returning it for this????
If it is same as anyone elses in here its BARELY visible and you should try to find it again.. enjoy your phone. ( there are great chances of getting a same unit back, cause its a design thing i think )
Hey,
have it as well. But I don't really mind.

Can anyone please port the TORCH application that is in the market (also comes with CM roms), and make it fully functional?
I have downloaded it from the market (Nexus Torch), and it seems fine, but on "High Brightness" it flickers on and off way too much.
This is one of my fav apps.
Please and thanks

supposedly this is bad for your LEDs whenever you turn it up on the highest for a long period of time or make it flicker like a strobe light. people have reported after keeping the app on for around a minute the LED burned out lol. Forgot which phone it was but it shouldn't matter, also if you notice your phone gets pretty hot when it's on, I only use the flashlight app for emergency and I'm sure that's what its intended for.

The warning info that say that if you leave it too long is for noobs who think they can leave it for a whole day on with nothing happening to the phone.
Its an awesome app, I hope someone can port it.

haha I did the same as you and had the same problem, I would like a torch app as well, that would be great. The regular settings for a flashlight is just not good enough sometimes!!!
Just use flashlight.... What, are we twelve? I've fixed cars in the dead of night with it. It is plenty bright.

Just to be clear, my n1 has it, and it is not superior to our flashlight app.

Thank you for your suggestion, I guess I've been using the music player instead of flashlight all this time, that's why I don't see any light.
Why not downloading it from market and use as you so wished? Is there a non-compatible issue?

I just need the high brightness setting, It would be nice to have it, I voided the warranty lets get the most out of it!!!
It would be nice, family, friends, and strangers are always asking me to look at their teeth (I should stop mentioning to people that I'm a dentist, I'm afraid if I say I'm a janitor they'll ask me to come clean their floors though!!!!!!), of course this really does nothing major (They really need a full exam in a office setting) but gives me a better idea of what can actually be done and a high brightness would be nice...

Display unstuck from body :(

Hey guys,
I dropped my phone the other day from 50cm on wooden floor (i have tpu case on it) and noticed that the screen is now a little bit up from the body right at the bottom right and I have now light leak from the back bitton ((
Screen is sticking out like 0.5mm
nothing major I guess, but was wondering if someone has taken their baby apart and knows if this is easily fixable? I guess it's just the glue, doesnt stick to the screen anymore, but not sure
Any suggestions appreciated, thanks )

there is some bleeding yes but that would have to be modified by whoever will make custom kernels
I notice this too, I think its just because of the similar color of led and face color. I'm sure its not as noticeable on the carbon blue. Slight side effect of such a great color.

Yea, did not have that issue with my blue one. I swapped it out for the white one yesterday.
I was jealous of my girlfriends white Note. Just turned the lights off. Issue fixed for now.

If you think that's bad you should see the white skyrocket. Now that was bright. Gnote is no where near as bright as the skyrocket. I think the skyrocket uses some kind of LED lighting which if you can get pass how bright it is, it looks a lot better.

I actually noticed them in the AT&T store. I figured it was a Samsung issue. I just turned off the lights. Don't really need them anyways.
This is a problem? Really??? Not trying to be an A-hole but I didn't notice it at all. The Beast needs bright lights! lol

LOL.. On some phones it's kinda overkill.. Just a stray bright light in the corner of your eye when you're looking at the screen.

Any complaints about the white S3 ?

ok,so I decided to get an S3 after a long confusion between it and the gnex but I'm still not sure which color should I get.I've seen both colors in reality and surprisingly,they both look much better in real life than in pics.I like both but I want to get the white 1 for a change since I never had a white phone.I'm just wondering if anyone with a white S3 got any problems with it like color fading/scratches on the brushed metal sides/button light or notification-LED bleeding into the screen or any other problems.
IDK about the white since i dont have one, but im sure as heck no one complains about the blue : D
Yeah, it isn't blue....
Seriously though, I own both colours. There is no noticeable difference in how they work, its just the colour... Get your preference...
There are many colours to choose now.

I got the white because I can't wait for anything, wasn't that keen to start with but now I'm really happy with it. I think it looks a quite classy now. I think I even prefer it over the blue... sorry blue fans :laugh:
i'm on white my only complain is the touch keys it leaks speacially at night it's very bright

My first white phone ... love it. It looks good and even the white glow from the capacitive keys I think is a nice touch whether it be on purpose or not. I dig it.

Just to be clear so there is no confusion for the OP. The "bleeding" is not into the screen its self but into where its white around the screen. And like Coreym said, it adds to the phone IMO, makes the whole white bezel glow. Not a problem for me.

OK,it seems that there aren't any problems with it except the button bleed(which doesn't bleed into the screen) but I can just disable the lights,or keep it cuz I might like it Thanks all,can't wait to get my hands on it
I bought the white yesterday. I'm loving it (except for the massive battery drain, it's the same as mi iPhone 3G).
Didn't like the blue colour, so went for the white. It's gorgeous.

No real problems at all with the white, and I think the blue with the curved edges do make it look a little too cheap for my liking, especially on the back cover.

I disabled the lights too, every 3 seconds they went off... very annoying.
I have blue, my partner has white. Personally the white one looks cheaper with the back light of the soft buttons shining outside of the button stencil, but it sure as hell is sexy as fook.
