Would anyone know how to disable the light of the capacitive buttons as well as disable the buttons all together?
Sent from my unknown using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I know you can disable the lights in Xposed Gravitybox. Not sure you can totally disable them.
For those wondering how to disable Tue capacitive buttons I have attached a photo to the directory and the file you want to edit is shown at the bottom. To disable them you must insert a # before the number for each key.
Now if I can find the directory to dim the lights...

I found the directory for the lighting but it keeps reverting back to its typical level after a few seconds. Would anyone know why this is? Also, I cannot backup the file either..kind of odd too!

I use an app capacitive buttons. But it seems the only way to get them back on is a reboot.

I have used the application before but I was looking for a more definitive way. On the ROM I was running the brightness of the capacitive buttons mirrored the brightness of the LCD brightness; however, on the stock ROM this is not the case. Why the difference? I don't know all.
Regardless, I caved and installed Gravity Box to handle the issue.

Is it possible to disable the backlight for the soft keys?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I'm pretty sure there isn't a way but don't quote me on that. My logic is because it seems the backlit keys use the screen light to actually become backlit they aren't like a separate area really.
I think they are on a separate sensor. In CM7 they would be off a lot of the time.

Yes they can be disabled.

You can try the LEDS hack (root) from the market.. I know it works on the inc, haven't tried it on the thunderbolt though I know it's not listed as "supported".. worth a shot
Could you point me in the direction I need to go?

Leds hack is a no go. Thanks though.

There are two LEDs at the bottom of the phone that light the keys. I accidentally covered them up when replacing my LCD so I have no backlight for the keys now and...I kinda like it! They aren't bleeding into the screen now too.

They can be disabled in the kernel.
You can disable them.by editing the framework also =)
App called "screen filter" has the option for it. Only lasts as long as its open though(runs in background, open in notifications). But it does work.

Does anyone know how to permanently disable the softkey backlighting? Is it somewhere in the build.prop?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
You can use the screen filter app.. it can disable softkeys on the TB and if you don't want to reduce brightness just set it to 100 and to disable softkeys.

I've tried screen filter. It doesn't work for me. There has to be another way

I found an app to do exactly that...
Keyboard backlight controller. Free in Market, requires root.
I would like mine to go off after a few seconds while the screen stays on.

WOOOOOOOOOOW it really works!!!!!
Whenever I'm watching a video the home buttons tend to annoy me. Does it bother others? Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

Anyone have any input on disabling hardware keys? My power button decided to go wonky tonight. Took my phone apart and even removed the button...But the problem persists. As of right now, I'm using Button Savior and it's decent. Wondering if anyone else has run into this exact problem. Seems this power button issue is fairly common.

I use an app called Xposed Additions to remap hardware keys. I made Home a power button, and use lmt for everything else

I'm noticing that when the screen is off and I tap toward the top of the screen the phone screen turns on. I just noticed it today but it happens every time I tap the top of the screen. Also when the screen is on and I hover my finger toward the top part it selects buttons on the screen as if the sensitivity is high up there. Thinking of returning the phone for a new one but wanted to know if others had this problem.

It could be a problem with your sensors I'd call Samsung or take it back to sprint

I would boot in safe mode and confirm it's not a third party app before taking it back. Also poke through all the settings to be sure motion and accessibility features are off. Safe mode instructions for the s3 or s4 worked for me. I forget how to do it but Google is how I found it

Thanks for the help, I figured out it was an app causing it after all
