Temporarily Disable Capacitive Button Backlight - Samsung Infuse 4G

How does one disable the button backlights? Screen filter isn't doing the job and ur can be annoying for night viewing.
Sent from my Infuse

what is a gas light?
also some of us have short attention spans (ADD) and cant remember the name of the link we just clicked on or why we clicked on it. it may seem odd but you should ask a direct question in the op just to make sure people dont get lost. (seriously, i see this alot on another forum and i have even done it myself finding myself confused when a thread only contains a sig or a smiley as i have already forgotten the title)
ahh i guess you are haveing auto correct issues and using a forum app. now my post sounds silly.
i dont know of any way to accomplish this without messing with the kernel, maybe could be done in the framework. this needs a dev im sure. but i never found the backlights very bright to cause a visability problem. the vibrant has way brighter backlights.

I at least attempted to edit the op. I meant backlight and yes it was auto correct

Keep the Lights On should be able to do this.

[Q] Disable SMS wakeup / notification pop-up on WP7

Hi Everyone,
I have searched Google and must say I can't find any solution for changing SMS WakeUp / Notification pop-up.
It is so annoying when the screen lights up.
I would also like to be able to disable that it shows the message in the top statusbar.
I have unlocked my phone by finding the "ChevronWP7" unlocker tool and send (by e-mail) the "ChevronCert" to my WP7 HTC Trophy and installed the certificate. Downloaded "Tom XAP Installer v1.2.zip" and installed "RegistryEditor 1.1.0.0.xap" where I have tried several registry fixes found on different websites: "modify-sms-notifications-in-windows-phone-7" but nothing worked also found a solution here and the same again nothing i working:
[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:1
Could someone help out I would really appreciate....
Thanks.
Bump please
Bump...Lookin for the same thing
Sorry guys, but why would you want this? I hate it on my Android. I have to push the power button every single time, which in turn, kills my hardware buttons.
At least you guys go to your lockscreen with a notification at the top, I had to download an app to wake the screen and it bypasses the lockscreen and I text/call people every single day lol. I wish it would just GO TO THE LOCKSCREEN!!!
Privacy, of course!
Bump.
@Dj21o: With respoect, I can think of at least one good reason why this setting should be "settable" and that is privacy. I may be in an environment where I don't want just anyone to be able to see an SMS as it arrives just by looking at my screen.
The fact that you would prefer it this way is, of course, good, too, but I think ther choice should be in the hands of the user.
Don't youy agree?

Yeah, it should be available for those that want it, and for those who don't... It is a simple setting that make it a big deal for users, and I can totally see where you are coming from. Sometimes my phone unlocks, and that is swiping left to right. I imagine it happens much more swiping up lol.
There is a site where you can put down ideas for developers to look at, and people vote for them. I can post the link of the site if you want.
Here is the site, you can post your ideas accordingly to what type of idea it is.

I just want to know exactly why you want this? Yes it can be abit bright at the first glimpse but isn't there a bigger risk for falling asleep if you just press a button, instead of actually opening your eyes?
Nothing against what you like/dislike, I'm just asking, why.

I want it too because I have Whatsapp group where people keep messaging all the time. And the screen remains on all the time. which simple means that my battery drain faster because screen is always on.

I have the same problem
Any news about this???
So, disable Toast notifications in WhatsApp? That's a (required) per-app setting, no need to request an OS feature for it!
Why you don't flip you phone down? If proximity sensor detect something close to phone display it will don't turn display on when toast notification pop-up.

[Q]Screen does not work unless I use auto-brightness

All of a sudden today, my screen turned off after like 4 seconds. I pressed power and it just flashed momentarily and turned off immediately. Every time I pressed power, it did the same thing.
I rebooted. The ASUS startup screen showed fine. Then as soon as it booted in, same thing.
I tried wiping all data, and then rebooted. Same problem.
Since it only does this when booted in, I'm thinking it's a software issue. But how the hell do I fix it if I can't get the screen to do anything more than flash on for less than 1 second?
When I'm plugged in, the screen works fine. I'm so confused...
UPDATE: For some reason, when I turn on automatic brightness, the problem goes away. But the second I turn off auto brightness, the screen immediately shuts off and the problem repeats. And auto brightness keeps the screen on a really low setting.
Urrghhh

This is a well known and well documented issue that could have been easily found by searching. Your thread adds to the 3 or 4 that already exist regarding this issue.

I do recall reading similar reports earlier, but from my memory, there seemed to be some differences. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry for inconveniencing you for a whole 5 seconds
Side question: have you ever tried to get decent search results? It's extraordinarily difficult given that terms are used for multiple purposes, and not all the language is universal.
After going back, and reading a ton of threads through manual forum-browsing, it seems that I was correct about most other problems being distinction from this. Only really found one other mention of this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078331). So perhaps YOU should search before telling people they should search.
Anyone have thoughts?

I do search and I am subscribed to other threads that I check daily regarding your same issue. Ill come back to this thread and post the links to those other forums so as to keep the TF general thread from being overpopulated. And even if your problem IS unique its still very closely related to others in the forum link you posted and would still be more appropriate to post there rather than creating another thread.
I have the same exact problem as you and I want it solved just as much as you but I would I also like the ability to easily navigate this forum and that's only possible by keeping related threads from happening.

For now the only solution seems to be to keep hard resetting your device (hold power for 10+ seconds) several times and keeping a manual brightness. I had to hard reset my device 8 tines before the screwn would stay on. The reason that your backlight is shutting off when you turn AB off is because of where your manual brightness is set and chances are it's set too high which seems to be the common cause. Keep hard resetting your device until manual brightness is allowed then set MB to a lower level. This issue happens on AB as well when in a bright area and it sets the brightness to high on its own.

I wonder if it can be fixed if you use the dock's brightness adjustment keys?

Hate to jump in you but do you see the inherent contradiction in that statement? If the search tools are adequate then the number of similar threads should not matter as they can sorted by relevance. If they are not, as your desire for single threads suggest, then asking a new person to use them to find an answer is not appropriate as it isn't going to be successful. I've found that the bulk of the posts aren't technical so a search for the appropriate terms is pointless and a simple question is more likely to get results. For example, when calling on webcore, lcd brightness is being set to 0. This is in the logcat I took when testing and I get nothing when searching for it. If I search for 'black screen', I get something.
Let's remember we're here to help each other. Being inclusive and welcoming to newcomers is a much more positive way for us to find results.
Cheers,
Todd.

I have this problem and the dock is the only way I can get the screen back on. I have to press the auto brightness button then press the power button to get the screen on.
If I manually increase the brightness from 0 in steps I can get to half way but then the screen goes off. Similarly I can reproduce this by using the slider to increase the brightness. I am trying other ROMs to see if I can get rid of this issue but so far it happens on Stock & Paul O'Brian's with full resets on both. sigh.
After endless reviews of the logcat files, resets and roms, seems I can't find a solution. Going to rma it unfortunately!

So RMA is the answer?
Yes I rmaed mine to Asus. Only took them a a few days to fix and ship it back to me.
Thanks. I better unroot mine and get it sent.
Having this problem.

led notification

im late returnig text sometimes because it only blinks three times per min. Anyway to make it blink longer?
Only way I know to do it is to use Handcent SMS. They're the only ones who seem to have figured out the Sidekick's LEDs.
I'm in the same boat. I know that Handcent can manipulate the LEDs, but damn, for some reason I love the look of the stock messaging app.
it would be nice to be able to chance the led colors and req of its blink. i miss it from the old ones, and cant stand the new ones led blink feq. argg. handcent though like he said.
Man, I use gosms pro. I hope they can maipulate leds also. I don't like using handcent.
Yea huh
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA Premium App
I would like to have more specific control of the LEDs also. I use Gmail's app for all my email functions and ignore the built-in app. However it will not control the LED lights for incoming messages at all! Also I would love to see more frequent messages (or make it selectable).
So many things on the phone, including LEDs, are forced settings without much user control at all (unlike the Danger OS Sidekicks). I hope Rooting (which I hope to do in the next few weeks) will take care of some of these issues.
Things are being worked on, but the developer base is unfortunately small. We started out with the big issues, like the power menu and lockscreens, and are currently working on people's requests, an OC kernel and vibrate &silent in vol rocker. It's on the list of things to do, as it bothers most everyone, just isn't as big an issue, so it's slightly lower on the list.

Ah, so its being paid attention too. i've really got to learn to dev so i can start tackling these things myself.
If nothing else, it's on my list.

Good to see more people trying to jump in! That's the best way to do it, that's how I did it, just poke around at things, you can always just odin back to stock.
If you have any questions, I'll do my best to help, I should be around, PM me if you need anything.

do you know what permissions or something that controls the LED'S becaude obviously they have the power to flash more than 3 times! samsung has just decided to screw with us. in other words what does cyangoen mod and handcent change that allows the LED to blink more
basically what you need to do is edit the settings to have a menu that allows for different timing for the LED's, and then point the LEDs to that menu when they want to flash.

alright thanks ill try a few more things!
I hear handcent got the leds working for our sidekicks. Maybe there's a way to look into that for some code or something.
The problem isn't getting it working, it's getting the notification to send the correct setting. the LEDs already work just fine.
I suppose that you could edit mms.apk instead of settings, and you could add the setting in there.
thanks for the lead ill check that out now and i already looked in handcent im still looking!
I'll try decompiling the mms.apk and see if maybe I can find it easily.

[Q] (SOLVED, PLEASE CLOSE) How to fix search feature missing/disabled?

Ok so I understand that this is probably a setting that i must of overlooked but i've been trying to find information about it for the past few days now. A few days back i changed the option to XDA classic but decided i didn't like it so i changed it back. This is around the time i noticed the search button missing and ontop of that its overlaying on the screen messed up. It didn't do this before and i'm not sure what i did or if maybe XDA is just improving their search button and thats why i'm having problems but its starting to bother me big time. I really did search for the answers as best i could without having use of the search button but i came up empty handed. Also if i got to my name it normally brought me right to the statistics where i could find my posts and so forth but now it brings me to About Me. No big deal though since all i need to do its select statistics which is right next to it but when i go to find posts i was in or threads i started i get "vBulletin Message, Searching has been disabled". Who disabled it and if it was me how can i enable it again? I would be very greatful if someone could shed some light on this and tell me what i'm doing wrong. UHGG!! I feel so stupid because i know its probably something small i'm doing wrong.
It's problem w/ board and admins are working to fix it.
Patience.
Huge thanks.
As i said i wasn't sure if it was something i was doing but i noticed it right when i was changing the style around. Thats a huge releif knowing it wasn't from something I did. I have no problem waiting patiently.

[Q] RG2X MIUI; Any way to adjust or disable LED notification?

Latest distro of RG2X MIUI installed... I can't seem to find any way to adjust or disable the LED notification when an Email/SMS/Call is received/missed. Anyone have any insight?
I like the LED notification, however it seems to destroy my battery life if I don't clear the notification in a reasonable amount of time. I wouldn't think it to be the problem, however if I go without getting notifications, my battery life is great.
TIA
searched the thread came up with this, courtesy of psychoace
Go to the home screen
Hit the search button
Hit menu
Go to search settings
Turn on settings search
Back out
Hit search again and type either trackball or led
You now have control of your capacitive button lights
and maybe next time search the thread or ask in there before making a whole new thread when you don't have to... that is an old solution and MIUI has been updated since so I don't know if it'll work or not... post your results if it worked.

While I should have mentioned in my original post that I DID SEARCH for a solution, I don't see the necessity for the contempt.
I did try the method mentioned, PRIOR to posting this thread. Neither LED or Trackball shows up in the search after enabling the settings search.
In summary, the proposed solution does not work for RG2X MIUI 2.3.24
hmmm I didn't think it would, I don't know what to tell you hopefully someone can help out.
Ok, an update for anyone who may have a similar problem.
I could not get the above mentioned solution to work, at first. After getting a bit frustrated with the matter, I performed a completely clean flash of the ROM again, re downloaded, etc... and now the above solution does work.
Another inexplicable and random quark I suppose.
Thanks for the help, mt3g.
Interesting but glad it worked out
