Hardware lights for soft buttons on/off - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I find the white lights on the soft buttons way to bright and quite annoying when sitting in the dark on my phone. Is there any sw out there that can tweak this? I am rooted.
Thanks in advance.

You can turn the lights off. Just in to Settings / Display / Touch light key duration and you can choose OFF.

I don't have those options for some reason. Running a stock Google rom.
Thanks though

[TIP] [ICS] Disable touch key lights

If your running the ICS leak you can go into settings and completely turn off the back lighting on the touch keys on the bottom of the phone. I know where the buttons are. I don't need them to be glowing. This helps me especially at night when it would kill my eyes having those LEDs on.
Settings > Display > Touch key light duration > Always off

thanks! This was in GB too. Strange the "only in the dark" option was in GB but not ICS. I liked that one.

Flashlight turn on sometimes while on lock screen

On my stock,rooted galaxy s3 sometimes when I press power button to unlock my screen. Camera's flash turns on and is kept on until I unlock my phone... Also there is a sun icon on to top bar...
Is this any kind of virus or bug... Or this feature is activated with some sort of voice/motion?

Black screen

HELLO Q&A people, I get black screen sometimes for nothing, like when I turn on my phone from sleep to lockscreen it gets black and just light between buttons turn on and that's it. What is it? I'm using CM7 now, but I get that and on others ROMS.

Banding above capacitive buttons

Anyone have a slight shadow or banding above the navigation buttons ? Especially on white backgrounds like the Google homepage?

I'm not sure if it's banding or light leakage but I have it. I noticed it last night after the store closed and I'm debating on exchanging it.

If what im seeing is what you are seeing then I cant really say that its noticeable at all for me (trust me im super super keen on these kinds of things) I dont see any light leakage which is good
I can definitely confirm now that when the menu bar is present with my capacitive buttons on, there's definitely light leaking over and I can see 3 areas where the light is overpowering the black.

They light up when the ambient light sensors detects it's dark.
