I run mine all night charging as my main alarm.
If your rooted then check out a dimmer app for root you can turn them off completely with root dimmer.

Try “dock clock". Put it on my wife's rezound for her to use as clock/alarm. Soft keys are off while in use. You can set it to activate automatically when plugged in after a specific time (I set for 8:00pm). That way the app automatically opens when you plug it in at night but NOT during the day. Works excellent with or without dock.

nice app, thanks
The app 'screen filter' can turn off the keyboard backlight with the caveat that you need to turn the screen off then back on after starting it.
I am going to try out dock clock. I like gentle alarm as my alarm, but no reason it needs to also be the foreground clock.

My screen stays on when plugged to a charger or the computer, is anyone else having this problem? It seems like it just started happening all of a sudden

Go under app settings, development, and make sure the keep screen on option is off.

Do you have the option ticked not to turn off screen when charging? If the phone is in debug mode and you flick open the notification menu, you can change some debug settings. One of them being screen sleep while charging.
Sorry to hijack the post, but I love my screen being on while plugged-in but is there a way to prevent it from dimming. I want it to stay at max without dimming, and it drives me crazy.
thanks

Mine is on but screen still dims and I want it at full brightness at all time when plugged, any other settings i am missing?
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.
So just wondering if anyones came across a flashable zip to turn out screens off when getting a text..ive looked and cant find anything. The help would be greatly appreciated!

Turn off notifications and use an app like light flow.
Use a different MMS app.

This.
I use Handcent and there is an option in settings to set the "Do Not Wake Screen" setting.
You need to go into your stock SMS app settings and uncheck notification options though.
As suggested by another user, turn off notifications in the sms app. Download an app called sms popup in the play store. Go into that app. Disable the popup notification. Set the rest of the settings such as the notification icon, notification sound, etc. With all that done, you essentially have the stock app behaving the way you want. I've been rocking this solution along with light manager for a few weeks and it's flawless.

Is there an app/widget (for root or stock) that can activate the profiles created in samsung tectile app? I don't want to have to have another tectile just to return to a normal profile, would be fine doing it from a widget. Currently I go through the app to return to a normal, kind of a pita...

I don't know about an app to trigger a tectile, but you could use Tasker to change what you want.
Steep learning curve, but incredibly powerful.

I don't know why but I read the title as "testicle." What the hell is tectile? I've never heard of it.
Edit: Ah, nvm. I did a quick google. Believe it or not I've had 3 different devices with NFC and have never even used it once.
I'll give Tasker a try. I am alright with learning curves. It looks like I can create a "normal" profile and just activate that through a widget. Thanks for the response.

NFC task launcher can set the NFC tags to have 2 tasks, I. El. One to mute sound, then tap again to turn sound back on.

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.
