Is there any way to disable/alter the settings for the capacitive touch buttons on the S6 Edge? There's no option on the display menu to change this.
No setting but if you go to power saving mode, they will be disabled automatically. By disable, I mean no light.

Touch key lights not working
Hi, I have the S6 Edge. The touch key lights are not working at all. In Settings I have the Touch Key Light duration set to "Always On". Power Saving Mode is off, but they still won't come on. The keys do blink briefly during startup, so I do know they physically work. Any ideas? Thanks

Works for me thx:good:
Also the adb shell works as well so yeah pick one. Thx to the author of the adb shell commands
I need help! I have a T-Mobile S6 and like my touch light on while in power saving mode. Since this setting is somehow turned off on the galaxy s6 how can I turn it on without rooting the device. I tried the galaxy button lights app and once you turn on power saving mode it stops working.

Hi,
I am with this ROM: [ROM] Bluetooth Tether ROM for Omate TrueSmart 1.0.0 and it is very good ROM.
Why when I run the software shake the watch does not wake up on lock screen only when I press the power button I get the lock screen?
Thanks,
Arie.

Use Awesome ON/OFF for screen on
This app works for me. I was able to set it so when I tilt my watch up, I see the watch face. I use Nova Launcher instead of Smart Launcher, just a personal choice both work well.
In shake set action when shaken to simple and select action turn screen on.
I have sensor sensitivity set to 12. Adjust as needed for your circumstances.
Service state is on.
Start at phone startup checked.
Active when screen is off checked.
Unchecked battery savings, vibrate, notify.
In device settings under security set screen lock to none.
This morning I started having an issue with my edge.
Whenever I touch the screen, both capacitive buttons light up. Causing for irregular behaviour when using the phone. Is there a screen calibration mode or should I return it for a new phone.
Mine does the same thing. I'm pretty sure that's standard.
Agreed. Sounds like normal behavior to me.
I fail to see how this is an issue?
It's an issue in the sense that previously on galaxy models they only light up when you press them. It's a bit ridiculous and waste of battery to have them lighting up every time you interact with the phone.
And for reasons unknown, every s6 excluding the att version has had the setting to turn off the lights removed.

That is not true.
The S5 cap lights also light up when you touch the screen. That is how it should work. It would ridiculous for it to NOT light up every time you interact with the phone (assuming you wanted them on at all).
It would be nice to have the option to turn them off. That doesn't make it an issue--more of a feature request.

If you enable power saving mode it turns them off FWIW.

Some times my capacitive buttons stop working altogether. It happened to me twice so far. It lasts about a minute. No response no light, nothing. Anyone else?

Where are you finding the "Touch Key Light" settings? I don't seem to see them.

This is not on the SM-G925W8 version either.
Sometimes these buttons stop working all together and sometimes they both switch to become the task switcher button. The Back Key will no longer function to move you back a page! Very annoying. I am thinking the only fix might be a complete factory reset??
BTW, when this happens, something is loading in the background. Just before my buttons stop working, a get a very small vibration similar to when your device boots up. From that point forward the buttons don't work. It can last 1/2 hour or up to 2-3 hours before it clears itself up??
Update: I did a factory reset and it didn't do any good. There are literally thousands of posts on the web about this issue and no resolution. If you have this issue, I think you need to send your unit back.
I have a SAMSUNG-SM-G925A running stock AT&T Android 5.02
I dunno, received my Edge today and my capacitive buttons only light up when I click them.
I took my phone back today and Rogers very quickly gave me a replacement phone. Capacitive buttons working well on this one!!
Everything was working as expected and the two buttons (Back and running apps) stopped working, i made a factory rest and it did not help, I am suspecting the cover that have magnets in it and I removed it, shut down the phone for few minutes but it did not help, I will try extending the time it is shut down and see the results.
For those with button light issues try this app "Galaxy Button Lights". I'm not allowed to post external links here but you can find it in Google Play.

It could be one of two things imo. Defective unit or display unit.

I think the capacitive touch screen lights are automatically disabled if one of the power saving modes are activated. Check to see if one of them are enabled.
The behavior of the touch light keys is tied to the "power saving mode". By enabling "power saving" mode it seems the touch light keys remain off.
Same thing just happened to my S6 (not the edge model). Battery was getting low, turned on the power saver mode, charged the phone back up 100%, turned power saver mode back off and now my buttons don't light up. I noticed they to will flicker when the phone is restarted.

OK I think I just fixed it. Set your capacitive keys to always on, then go to power saver settings and set it to immediately. Now no matter what percentage your battery is at your phone will go into power saver. Then turn it off right away and your keys should light back up.
Where are you guys finding the setting to adjust the capacitive lights? I've looked everywhere and can't find it. Even googled it. I want mine permanently off and all i found was "use power save mode for that"
Same thing here! I already contacted Samsung and Sprint, they don't know how to fix it! Take it to the store to get a replacement !

Must be carrier specific. I have the tmobile version and that's not an option there. But my other samsungs i had at sprint all had that option right where you said it should be.

YES!!!! That fixed my issue too. This happened a couple weeks ago. I couldn't figure it out so I did a factory reset (fixed it). Now it cropped up again this past weekend. Glad I'm not the only one. It is an ugly software bug I hope gets fixed.
Definitely a Software Bug !!

I had the same issues you guys had on my international (SM-G925I) model. After factory reset it just works fine. Maybe its a software bug and hope Samsung fixes this with the next update ... :good: :good: :angel:

Thanks! It fixed mine too but I had to do an additional step of turning power saver off, then back on, then changing it to turn on at 15% (from immediately) and turning it back off.
Such a weird bug.
Had the same problem. Did restarts/ full wipe/ called customer service/ went to service carrier store.... Problem ended up being the case I had purchased (phone specific at that). If you have this problem try removing the screen protector and phone case restart the phone and plug into the charger. Keep in mind that I had the exact same case on without removal for a few weeks before it started interfering with the captive keys. My keys have been working 100% since minus the protection.

Hi everyone
I've been having some odd issues start occurring around a month ago on my Galaxy S6 Edge 64GB (G925W8):
1. Auto brightness turned on - Screen flickers between low and high backlight very quickly, mainly when outdoors.
2. Home button stopped working completely for 8 days (fingerprint scanner on the button still worked) but temporarily came back last night but is now again unresponsive to presses.
3. Power button intermittently works, 75% of the time I connect to charger it will start to work again for a short time.
Any ideas why these issues would have started occurring and are there any fixes? The only thing I can think of is that I flashed 6.0.1 (6.0.1 EastLink on to 5.1.1 Rogers) on to the phone but I've re-flashed with no luck.
Cheers
1. its the outdoor mode that makes your screen flicker. turn it on manually and try to change brightness, it will be the same

You're right, when I change the brightness on the slider, the screen doesn't change at all. This is the same even if I'm indoors.
Any ideas how to disable outdoor mode? I cannot find a setting for it anywhere.
Turns out the home button was "worn out" when I took it in for repair for a phone around a year old!
Unfortunately, a broken home button also means the screen and sensors need to be replaced too but luckily I managed to get the repair done for free by Samsung.

Hi everyone ,
I've got the chinese Find X 256Gb (PAHM00) and there are issues with the 'curved panoramic light'.
If somebody is calling me, the screen lights up, showing the number and the 'curved panoramic light' lights up too.
But the main problems are the messages and notifications. If my phone lays down for a while (standby) and i recieve a message, the screen lights up showing the message on a banner and turns off after a few seconds, no 'curved panoramic light'. I tried several different settings/options, but there are always only two results: 1. as mentioned above, 2. the screen stays black and the phone just rings, no 'curved panoramic light'.
One time, the phone was in my pocket and i recieved a message, I immediately pulled it out, the screen was black and the 'curved panoramic light' lit up, but only two times. I can't reproduce this.
What's wrong with my phone? I even did a factory-reset, but without positive results.
Does anybody have the same problems or a solution?
Thanks.

Panoramic ligth does work here, but only 2 times. I believe that's normal. So don't expect it to keep flashing, it's just 2 times and that's it.. (Probably would kill the battery if it kept flashing.
No, Oppo says: 'When someone is calling or there are new notifications that just came in, the curved edges will light up, continuously.' ( I can't put in the Oppo link ) . On the website, they also say, that the curved light doesn't work if 'Turn On Screen Notifications' is enabled and I think that this is my problem, but I don't have this setting in my menu.
Same question i want to ask.
Any idea how to keep the light flashing until i read the message?
hope they fix Light Options...
I’ve only ever seen 2x for notifications and infinite for calls. I think you’re experiencing the feature exactly as designed
Same here. Could you fix it? I mean, if this is how it's supposed to work , it's pointless.

As for now, this feature is ridiculous. I couldn't find a solution. Hopping Oppo will fix it with an update.
By the way: can anyone tell, if it is the same for the 'global' version?
The Edge panoramic light is working like i had hoped it would. I receive the same problem as well. If anyone know which exact method to have the settings too, that would help greatly as I'm about to loose my mind with this phone and its mysterious operational system.

are you saying if you have lock screen magazine on it will work more effectively, please clarify thanks .
Mine works completely fine. Have global version CPH1871EX.
I have the screen clock on standby active and also the lockscreen magazine.
Also please check if the Turn on Screen for Notifications in set to OFF in the Notifications & Status Bar settings. Might be the reason why your display switches on instead of showcasing the panaromic notification light. BTW the notification light comes only twice over the edges and not more.
Here, I got it working after hours of try and error. Actually, it was a theme issue for me. First of all I turned off "Turn on screen for notifications" option in "Notification and statusbar" menu. This is what I did next:
0. Set lockscreen from the default theme
1. Turn on Lockscreen Magazine
2. Click on a like button, read a story
3. Turn off Lockscreen Magazine
4. Open Themes -> me -> my wallpapers
5. Set any wallpaper as lockscreen one
