[Q] Soft key lights stay on permanently

view story
linux-howto

http://forum.xda-developers.com – Hello there, first post on here. Anyone have/had a similar problem to this? The three soft key lights on my Optimus 4X now stay illuminated permanently. Even when the phone is switched off, they remain lit. I went so far as to completely drain the battery (or so I thought) so that there was insufficient power to turn the device on but the lights are still on. Does anyone know of any fix for this? Obviously, having these lights on all the time drains my battery quicker. I've tried the options in settings to switch it off and nothing works. I can only assume that this is a hardware fault.

Hi,

I've recently run into an issue with my SGS2 where it will not reliably turn off. It will start the shutdown sequence, and gets almost all the way off. However, it get's "stuck" in a spot where just the soft key lights are on.

i have a few apps that can disable them but the changes are reset every reboot none of them can make changes stick. i've heard of a few file editing ways to make it stick but most of those say they only work for specific phones and haven't found one for lg nitro yet.

Apparently, even domestic Christmas lights are controlled by computers nowadays, and hopefully, as you all know, that means they're hackable. Andrej Kyselica, a Microsoft employee, took some GE-35 Christmas lights, hooked them into a .NET Micro Framework embedded controller, took another developer's work, developed a driver -- and voila!

Hardware Button Lights 24 weeks 2 days ago

Hi. Is there a way to turn off and on the back lights on the hard keys (home, menu, back, and search)? My phone is not rooted yet. I've tried some of the light control apps in the play store but none of them have worked. Thank you.

Christmas trees and Christmas lights are commonplace in city centres and shopping districts. But handing over control of the lights to visitors is unusual.

Hi there!

Please, could anyone help me?

General Notification lights? 35 weeks 5 days ago

So when I get a new email, text, etc, my phone makes a notification sound, but nothing lights up. I'm wondering if there's any way to have the front key lights, or the screen light up when I get a new email, text, etc.

I have a server running ubuntu server 12.04 and have an application that needs access to some usb lights is there a standard device group i can add the user to, or some other way to give it permissions to all usb hardware? or at least the usb lights?

I have currently got this working by adding the user to the root group which i know is not optimal.

Last night was the grand lighting ceremony for The Bay Lights, the $8.8 million art installation that will turn the historically drab San Francisco Bay Bridge into the world’s largest LED light sculpture every night for the next two years. It’s clearly a work of art first and foremost, but there is a lot of technology at play here too.
