Is there anyway to have it so the button back light times out if the Burton's aren't pressed or something like That? It is very distracting while watching Netflix or reading an ebook.

An app called Screen Filter from the Market allows you to turn off the buttons. I run this app right before I launch the Kindle app.

I'm still for a widget to turn the screen off once the icon is tapped. this is handy as i do not have to move my hand all the way up to the power button. I'm thinking to develop my own app on this if the API has this option.

Does anyone know if there is something that can be edited in the build.prop that will enable the home keys to stay illuminated when the screen is on in dark settings? the keys go off so day and then you can't see them

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
no i dont think samsung puts that setting in there. hoowever you might be able to use an app called "keep the lights on" which will bind the backlights to screen on. that way they dont timeout at all
Yeah I was just wondering if there was a line that could be edited in the build.prop that you could change a standard value, like so many milliseconds to more milliseconds for the home keys alone. I wouldn't smythe entire display not timing out

Hi guys does anybody know how to check if light sensor works properly?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Dial *#0*# (no need to press the Send button).
A grid will show that allows you to test various aspects of the phone.
Press the "Sensor" button right in the middle.
You will now see the real-time data reported by the sensors.
If you cover the light sensor, the phone should vibrate and the screen should go green.
I have tried that and seems ok. So i guess that means that is alright

I mean the function when you press and hold and it cuts a portion of the screen. I can't find a way to turn it off, it's really annoying when using other apps.

This really sucks in apps like Papyrus because you can't have the eraser tool on the button.
My end goal is to have the phone return to the home screen after waking it up. This question has been asked for many years but there isn't a simple apk to add this feature.
Digging around it seems like we are able to change for sure, but I'm guessing also to add functionality to hardware buttons, power in this case,. While it is not fool proof, adding a step wen "clicking" the power button to put the phone to sleep to return to home screen before the screen goes off seems like the easiest way.
From the other "how to's" on how to re-map buttons brings me to the Generic.kl file from /system/usr/keylayout. There are 5 or so references to the "power".
Can someone point to which key number I want?
How would I add the return to home and still have the screen go off.
Thanks for the help...
Am I the only one that would like to always open their phone to the home screen?

If I am understanding your post correctly,
You can use automate or tasker to set a rule :
If screen off then return to home screen.
Hope that helps.
