capacitive buttons - HTC One S

Hi. Are the buttons supposed to light up? Mine don't. Is this normal?

They light up on mine.
It does look like it is controlled by the light sensor.

More specifically only in certain light conditions. The buttons rely on the light sensor to tell them when to light up.

They do light up in low light conditions. Atleast they do on my HOS.

Any way of stopping them lighting at night? Reason I ask is I use Gentle Alarm and when 'Night Display' is enabled they will remain on even when in Night Display mode I press the power button off then on and they still come on? Not had the problem on other phones.

There should be an app in the market or online called led hack to disable them

Don't think it's on the market these days? I have found a copy but need to be rooted - but thanks for suggestion. I'll root at some point but my One S may need to be returned as currently in discussions with HTC over mobile network reception.

It puts the device to sleep after the case has been closed, similar to the iPad 2's magic case, but this app uses the light sensor to detect the amount of light after you close the case.

So if you suddenly turn off the light in the room, it will shut off the screen?

Not necessarily. You can configure the light sensitivity in the full version, and you can also use other sensors (such as proximity and accelerometer) to activate sleep

Somewhat. The light sensor is weak so I have to turn on accelerometer sensing and shake the crap out of it to get into lockscreen. But I am unrooted and it says it needs root to work perfectly, so I'm going to root and try again

LED flash notifications

Hello All,
Looking to use the phone's LED flash, as a notification... text messages for example.
any suggestions?
Not to sound like a super **** but: have you tried Google Play? I think there's apps that do that

why? that would kill battery like crazy, not to mention it would heat up the led bulb to the touch.
Try light flow on the market. They have a lite version but you may have to be rooted. I don't have time to try it right now but should work. As for heating the led that's not even a concern.
Sent from my one x
Lightflow does allow for led use. Ive used in the past with the hox.

if i wanna use my phones LED to cook meth, who cares... while i can see the LED using a lot power -im only looking for a couple fast blinks when a text is delivered, thought this was a native function within CM9/10, but thats not the case.
Oh what I'd do for a multi-color LED like the original nexus
+1 for light flow. Go sms also lets you set the notification light. The HOX displays green orange and red.
LEDs don't produce heat

Large ones most certainly do. Like the ceiling light ones all have heatsinks.

[Q] Screen not turning on during calls!

Hello everyone,
So i bought a one X a couple months ago and it already came with a custom rom, i removed that and installed the Team Viper rom and currently have the latest version installed (April 10). The phone screen will not turn on during a call if you move the phone away from your ear like it should, the only way to get it to turn on is by pressing the power button and even then it only stays on for a few seconds and then turns right back off. Im not sure if this worked before i installed Viper. Any suggestions guys?

Do you have a case? Try placing a call and use your finger to left of the AT&T logo. I don't know much about viper but could be a setting (usually accessibility) that does that.

You can also try calibrating g sensor.

also is there a screen timeout? and im sure android has a feature where you can hang up using power button...again i am not sure about viper, but if you go to settings > accessbility > and make sure certain things are not checked, that can help...if that doest work, then your proximity sensor could not be working...does your auto brightness adjust accordingly?

There is no security lock for the homescreen, the auto brightness also works perfectly. I cant find anything in accessibility the only thing checked off is auto rotate screen. I think it may be the proximity sensor then because the digitizer on the phone looks like it was replaced.
The only other thing that I can think of is a screen protector that is blocking it or it has smudges that need to be cleaned. They have apps that calibrate proximity sensors but I have never used them.

I seen those up here. Search the forums or play store. Is the auto brightness using the same sensor or is it two? Tried looking, but can't tell.
Sent from my Carbon-ize Evita using xda-developers app
I believe it is two. If both auto brightness and proximity were running off the same sensor, they would both act up. I think. Just a theory. But if it is one sensor then the calibration app should work.

It would make sense to be two. But who knows?

Apparently there's an LED that only lights when the battery is too low to power up. I've never seen it.

if you have to have it (I like the active notifications better), you can use the xposed module Gravity Box to cause the buttons to flash with notifications. I'm sure there's other options that do the same though, but you run the risk of losing battery a lot faster (hence the purpose of active notifications)

Hidden LED

So, just like all the previous Moto phones, this one has a hidden LED too!
Using root and any kernel tweaker with an option to adjust leds, you can switch it on. It seems to be only white as far as I could tell but it's there! (In the middle of the speaker grill on top)

Usually to indicate the phone is charging when it gets plugged in from a completely dead state, before it even powers on the screen

I found the setting in trickster mod, but it only turns it on when charging. Will we be able to use it for notifications?
Assume that LiteFlow would work (paid version) as it does with Nexus 6. Give that a try.

Hopefully LightFlow would work, I have enjoyed that app for years on my OG Droid.

It has for other Moto devices so I assume so. I'm not personally interested enough to pay for the app to find out though, sorry.

I guess one could buy it, try it real quick, and if it does not work, get a refund within the allotted time Google Play gives you.
How bright is the LED? It might not be useful because of the front flash unless it's a dim light. From the picture it seems bright though.

The Flash is just an LED anyway, so there would just be a second LED on the front.
