Sorry if I have missed the obvious, but is there any way to change the settings of the backlighting for the nav keys? I am having trouble hitting the keys, and would like them always dimly lit if possible. Lighting them up briefly after you have pressed them seems rather meaningless.

With Xposed and gravity box, there is a setting for this behaviour...
Don't know if there is a single Modul only for this (gravity box fires many many other things also)...

Shame there isn't a way to do it natively, but I have taken your advice and installed xposed and gravitybox. It's nice not having to guess where the buttons are. Maybe I will turn the light off once my muscle memory of their location has formed, but for now I am happy to have them always lit
I installed Xposed and gravity box and enabled the navigation let's while screen is on. Anyway to dim the navigation keys?
You can do this via settings, accessibility, navigation buttons, always on.

No, you can't. At least not on the stock ROM, there's no such a setting.
Hello Guys,
I reactivate this thread because I have a similar problem on my x820 : It's impossible for me to get Nav key backlight turned on.
I've it working, but till a few days impossible...
I've tried to to flash different ROMs (Stock CN 23s and original 19s Indian, lineageOS, Cuoco and more) with no root root, Xposed + gravity box, from playstore : Keyboard backlight controller and Capcitive buttons.
Nothing change : impossible see my buttons.
Hardware failure or what else ?
If someone could light me ...thanks.
If you cannot get them back on with the official unmodified ROM after completely wiping your phone, that means they're most likely physically dead.

Yes that's what I think, I'll try another full wipe with 5.9.023s (5.8.019s Indian doesn't have this option).

"Settings", "Accessibility", "Navigation Button" section and there's only one item named: "Backlight duration", there's three options to choose, "Light up on touch"(Default setting), "Light up when screen is on"(the one that you need) and the last one "Never light up".
I hope it could help

I just got the US version and I have 16s also. This lack of backlight control is very annoying as I love the phone otherwise. Is there any chance of an upgrade to a newer version in the future or am I stuck with this problem.

No, you can't on stock Rom.

No, they're not dead. No such setting nonstick rom. I have 2 of them, one with stock, the other with Google pixel Rom. The setting is there on the pixel Rom, but not the stock.

Anyone know how to disable the hardware lights for the front buttons? I see two different areas of potential:
1. Modify the following config files located here: /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/ and set the permissions to read only. Issue: will not keep after a reboot.
2. Remove following lib: lights.msm8960.bak. Issue: Kills notification LED as well. Anyone know if this lib is proprietary or open source? Anyone to modify it to only turn off the button backlights?
Thanks in advance.

The front capacitive key lights can be turned off (on stock-based ROMs) in settings > display > Front key light.

Make an init.d script with the code you provided, it'll "fix" the problem of not sticking after a reboot.
I assume that you have a rooted phone. If your kernel doesn't support init.d, you can use any of plenty different solutions to enable it.

It is open source. It should be trivial to modify to disable button backlight, or put a toggle in place. Not saying that I know how. Also, it should be noted that that also controls the lcd backlight, and it will cause it to not be able to be adjusted if deleted / renamed.
EDIT:
Actually, I took a look at it, and you can try replacing the lights.msm8960.so with this file. I am not sure if it will work on any kernel other than the one I compiled it with, but it is worth a shot.

I've tried several and none of them actually utilise the flash - only the screen lights up brighter but I want the power of the LED

I'm guessing there is something within the software of the camera which can't be overwritten by the apps currently available??

Bump this old thread. Looking for a working apps. Have tried 20+ of all the LED/torch in PlayStore with no luck.
Last hope (that will be unlikely) is to hope Samsung update the firmware to Lollipop, since it will have dedicated Torch button in quick settings.

Another huge fail for Samsung. No wonder this phone is so cheap on eBay. If they arn't careful, they'll go the way of HTC.
a xenon flash isn't a led. turn it on for more than a minute and it'll burn your battery!
it isn't a standar light, that's why it doesn't work as such for flashlight apps

First of all, thanks to @xtermmin for pointing me in the right direction for this.
Steps to increase touch sensitivity and get DTTW functioning better:
Download Shortcut Master Lite
Hit the ellipsis at the top right and click App Explorer (Yes to the error)
Tap anywhere to get the loading circle to go away and find something called Force Touch
In the Force Touch menu, select ZteLCDPressureSettings and hit Launch
Here you will find some options.
Tap Pressure Sensitivity and move the red dot slider all the way to the left where the green "Light" is.
Back out of the menu and you are done.
There are some other things under features that may be of interest as well to some people.
Additionally, there are a couple other items in the Force Touch menu that could play a role in ROMs down the line. The "Press Image" option has a toggle within that item but it does not stick upon backing out and reentering the menu.
If you find anything else of interest, please let everyone know so we can make this the best phone we've ever owned.
Thanks!
Awesome, T2W works better now.... Thanks

This definitely helped! Kinda odd that there is a slight delay from when you double tap and when it actually wakes. I remember the LG G2 responding more quickly with this feature. Also miss the double tap to lock screen too that almost no other phone had (though with nova launcher and an app, you can do this). Regardless, I'm glad the functionality is there.
What's interesting about this little hack is that it clearly is using the force touch settings that will be found in the 6GB RAM model that has a force touch display. Funny how it remains in the ROM anyway, just tucked away since this model doesn't use force touch.
Can I remove the vibration when I use the double tap to wake?
This has made 0 difference for me. I've got a 64gb US variant. I've also noticed double tap to wake stops working when the phone is in Doze. Anyone else have this issue?
Same same with doze, but when my phone isn't deeply asleep this tip indeed increased touch sensitivity.

It's there by default on the US model, at least.
While this definitely improves DT2W functionality, it's still temperamental. I find that now it responds best to very light touches, but harder taps are ignored. If I tweak it to be less sensitive, it does exactly that: it requires a harder touch at all times. Why can't it just respond to a range of touches? My G3 worked just fine in this regard.

Totally agree with this. It's still very inconsistent, but mine does work if I slam it twice as well as tap it lightly twice. It doesnt always work and it's still delayed. This was sort of a bandaid for a bigger problem though. I hope CM, and ....probably nothing else? at this point...can address it further.

Quite honestly, the Axon 7's story is perpetually: "[insert company here] did a better job of implementing [insert feature here]". There is very little (if anything) that the Axon 7 does better than the big manufacturers, IMO. It does a passable (sometimes even decent) job of most things, though - and at an appreciable discount - which is why I still have mine. It's a budget flagship. It's high-trim Toyota versus a Lexus. Add to that the potential for improvements via software (which is the source of many of my complaints, really), and I think it's a solid buy with quirks I'm willing to live with for a little while as ZTE steps up and makes improvements.
Yep exactly from hardware point is very very capable device but from software although it's pretty good level but there's still staff for many improvements.
Axon 7 is my first Chinese smartphone from Chinese company until now and I'm quite pleased with the all package offering having it 5-6 days,but I would like to see from ZTE much more effort and listening the user base and bring as much improvement and tweaks to the software.

Why does Samsung feel is necessary to warn me that my headphones are getting louder and could possibly damage my hearing?
Now even the brightness level has to warn me that I am making the screen bright
I am a grown Azz man with two children a mortgage and a job. I'm pretty sure I can handle the responsibility of not blowing my eardrums out, or burning my retina with my Note 8.
What's even worse is now the threshold warning is even lower for the headphone volume. It used to be about 80% now its about 60%.
The one thing I miss it out custom roms is that we used to be able to disable that. Is there any mods available to stop those warnings? Probably the most frustrating thing about modern Samsung devices in my opinion

You'll see that won't stop the notification message after reboot. That's a parental control to lock it to a set max where children cannot go past without a PIN code.
There is another way using tasker and autotools.
True. Hopefully Samsung fixes it in a future update... ? This way works for now though unless I go the tasker route later on. I don't reboot my phone often this soon into the phones life anyway, and it's not a huge pain to go into the settings and change it until my next reboot.

Once you click OK, you'll be fine until next reboot without dealing with that step.

I'm glad you got this to work for you. I've updated the OP to say that you must hit the "play" button to test this before it will work. I tested this by turning it off, rebooting, then allowing the popup to come back. Then I tried simply re-enabling this event and rebooting. The popup came back. It did not start working again until I hit play to test it. Then it survived every reboot again.
To the OP I'd say visit my thread here to get it to turn off forever.

The EU or International version only warns about high headphone volume the once after reboot. This is the case with my N950N. Once you click OK It never comes up again until you reboot. From what I can gather this is what the option in the 3 dots does on the Snapdragon version. Stops it coming up every single time. The International version does not have the 3 dot menu because that option to stop the warning coming up every single time is already enabled by default.
i dont have that option as well
In most case it's not because they care so much about our well being. They place these sort of obstacles there for legal purposes. Pressing "ok" is basically signing a release of liability for any hearing damages caused by our increasing of the volume. I wouldn't bet on them fixing this any time soon.
Go into developer settings and turn off absolute volume?

Hi Guys,
I moved from IOS to Android with the lovely mate 10 recently. The feature I miss most is the raise to wake.
After trying different apps, gravity screen is the one that works the best.
However, after lock screen for more than few minutes, the screen wake up stop working.
When I charge my phone, it works 10/10, so i suppose it is related to battery saving features of the EMUI.
Anyone has any suggestion to fix the problem? I have so far tried "ignore battery optimization", "launch manually".
THe app tells me to use protected apps but I do not see anywhere in EMUI settings.
Have you tried toggles in settings>Battery>Launch>Select gravity app>Run in Background
