Hello all,
I'm a nexus s user for a few days now and this problem is really bugging me.
When I play a video the hard keys lights wont turn off. My last phone (Acer Liquid mt) cut the lights after a minute.
Is there a way to solve this?
You would have to root your device, then use ns tools to change the back light timeout. Because it does not do that stock.

After you root it, you need a kernel that supports bld (back light dimmer) not all kernels support this mod.

I have the device rooted and the kernel support BLD.
I try NS tools and BLD Control and cant get the lights to turn off.
Just use the back light dimmer in ns tools. Then set the time to 0 if you want it off so it won't turn on. But there is no setting to turn the back light off during video though. Hoped this helped.

Im wondering if anyone had found a way to disable the capacitive button backlighting similar to the way ledhacks works on the evo.
When I am in low light conditions, the buttons actually end up being brighter than my settings in aldiko.
I have tried a few apps off the market, but nothing seems to be working.

Im not certain of the customization options, but have u taken a look at the BLN app?

Bln does work if you have a custome kernel. Also.... How the hell r your back lights so bright? I can bearly see mine in dark let alone dusk or day light.

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.
The thouch keys start blinking as soon as screen goes off on the Oxygen ROM. Seems like Menu is diabled too. Anyone know how to turn it off?

use NStools and disable BLN, or just set blink to 0
I was wondering if there was a mod or something that could enable an LED light like such for the Nexus s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyWufbpSLpw
Let me know.

Use a kernel with BLN support. It will use your captivate buttons as a makeshift LED notification.'

Does it work well?
Well, sort of. When I had my Vibrant, I could make the buttons really pop out and see them from across the room. With this, if I can see the buttons, then I have a notification. If I don't see any buttons, then it's because the lights are off. It's not as bright and nice as the Vibrant, but at least I can look and see if I have notifications. If you use CM10, there is an option in settings for it, under Advanced.
You can try this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.led.notify&hl=fr
Works well, no need for specific kernel

Except that it drains the battery more on SLCD screens.

Kernel wake locks. Drains your battery down fast.

BLN doesnt drain your battery if u dont enable blinking
Have a LED anywhere?

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)
There's an led on the back that's used with the camera....

I like this answer, and I appreciate it. I also like the fact that you were not rude even though you were really thinking deep down inside that I was too ****ing stupid to know that there was an LED on the back for the camera. :sly:

Holy crap there IS a led there! Thanks Casen for that tip! I NEVER knew that and I stare at the back of my phone for hours!
