I have been running jellybeans rom since build 8 and haven't had a problem yet. Although now after going to build 16, I can't seem to figure out how to ditch the eye icon in the notification bar. It covers my clock and is a nuisance. I believe this is associated with smart screen timeout, but maybe I'm wrong and is never supposed to go away.
Any thoughts?
Turn off smart stay and smart rotation. That permanent eye is a "feature" of 4.1.2

Thanks for that, I realized that even though smart stay was unchecked, smart rotation was selected and grayed out. I turned auto screen orientation on and then off and then it allowed me to turn off smart rotation.
Thanks again.

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.

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

Anyone else seeing the eye icon popping up. Its only for a second and not long enough to get a screen shot of it. But Ive never seen it on any of my other phones.

It's smart stay......
It's one of the features implemented in the note 2...
I can turn it off by going into settings –> display....
Press thanks if I helped you

This is one of the things that I really don't like about iOS - the fact that the screen turns on and displays the message whenever it's received. No other Android phone I've used does this.
Is there any way to turn this off? I don't think it's in the settings; I've looked everywhere. Maybe a mod?
In the messaging app
Settings>notification settings>uncheck "screen on"

Thats really weird. I am on a custom rom though so maybe it was an edited sms app. what you could do is completely turn off notifications, download sms popup from the play store, and set sms popup to handle notifications. this has the added benefit of giving you a popup similar to cyanogenmod's messaging app. you would have to turn off screen on from notification in sms popups settings to get it working how you want.
Nice! That works perfect. Thanks

No Problem, glad I could help
The "screen on" option is only available from a custom ROM. I've since set up my whole device and I'm on the Hyper ROM which has the setting. I'm not sure why this isn't an option on plain stock, but at least I have it now.

I was looking at ways to disable this feature as I would love to read stuff on the bed using my phone horizontally. Can someone point me to the right direction?

Maybe let me rephrase. How to just disable the 360 rotation. I want to keep the other 270 but not rotating when the phone is upside down.
