wtf?!? That's some freaky stuff! xD

Lol I know I won't be drilling a hole in my phone but the software one

FOR Notification:
Go for Nessy's any ROM there is a Blink option

LOL. Pretty happy with NoLED. Different icons are more indicative than a blinking LED.

The software way may work. I'll try it,one day.

Try a factory reset and see how it goes. If you still have problems you should exchange it.
Yes I believe there is an amber color

should i return it? :O i really cant stop but to notice those 3 dots.
but if everybody has them, then its fine
I looked at my HTC Amaze and I don't see the same 3 dots that are in your picture. Maybe my tint is darker to hide them but my guess is that they still exist.

I don't have them either, i tried all different kinds of light,
to be honest, they look kinda good on the phone. lol
or is it just me?
im not even gonna bother returning it.
I bought this phone since very first day it came out. I have them lol and I actually like them cuz look cool I wouldnt call it design flaw
Inspecting the phone even more I found two dead pixels and the phone doesn't vibrate at all. It's faulty, I even downloaded the vibrator app on the market. Lol.

If it's not affecting anything and not intrusive I would leave it, who know, if you return it next time you might get 5 dots...and the trend continues!!!!

is there a way to leave the Red Capacitive Buttons on?

I know they turn on in low light but is there a way to keep them from turning off while in bright light??
many times I have wished they were lit so I can see them
I have been looking for the same thing!

Put a small, removable sticker over the light sensor on the top of your Rezound?
You can always get them to our come on, on demand, by placing your thumb or finger over the light sensor.

The ineffibilis gingerbread rom has the option to keep the lights on. ICS roms have them on all the time I think.
There's an app called keyboard backlight. It lets you keep them off or on all the time

well I'm not rooted so the only fix I see above is the "tape" fix or the "cover censor if you need to see them" fix.

Thanks for posting that, that app works perfectly.
I was using the mik tweaks in the inneffabilis ROM for this, but you have to reselect it every time you restart.

Blocking the sensor works, but...
I just tried putting a small piece of tape over the sensor and found that it works. The red buttons always stay on regardless of the ambient light conditions, however, during a call the screen will no longer go dark so that your ear, cheek, etc are no longer prevented from inadvertently clicking on anything. Obviously the sensor has a double duty.

Why would you want to do this though? I'm not trying to bash but that's gotta be a battery killer.

Sounds like a great app but just an FYI for the masses in case they missed it... it requires root. May be obvious but I thought I'd mention it. I'm not rooted so... :-(

Disable charging led

Hey.
I'm so annoyed by the charging LED. Both the orange while charging and the green when fully charged! It's charging at my nightstand and can't sleep because of that light
Any app or hack I can apply to disable the charging indicator?
Try lightflow from market.

TI Have Tried Lightflow But It Did Not Work. Is There Any other Way To Disable Charging Light?
You can try putting a stub lights.semc to kill all LEDs.
The problem is I would still like to use the LED for notifications. I only want to disable it during night or/and while charching, Lightflow gives options for both, but is not able to control the LED on this phone.

Why dont you just use the leather cover that was given along with the phone. That should help.
I have the same problem, I wan't to disable the led during charging.
When I bought my phone, no leather cover were given with it. And I can't turn it around because at night it's charging on a dock...

Why is it that people love to give retarded suggestions on this site? Is it to increase the post count of some sort? The guy asks for a way to disable the led, NOT how to turn around the phone. It's NOT what he asked for so why would you pester his thread with stupid replies? It's so annoying thinking that you've found a thread where the 'issue' you are looking to solve, are being discussed, but then it's just a bunch of people with mockingly stupid answers.
It's either that or "why would you wanna do that?" replies, on this damn website. If you can't help addressing the issue, why make the OP think that someone gave him a useful reply in his thread?
/rant
In an attempt to help anyone else who might stumble upon this thread: If LightFlow works on your phone you should just set the flashrate on the "charging" part to have a humongous "off" time. You can't disable the LED completely but I've found that you can make it flash extremely slow for like 10 ms every 1 hour or something. It helps.

Effect of illuminated capacitive buttons on battery?

Like the title says,
does anyone know what the effect would be on the battery if you were to keep the capacitive buttons on all the time? (like in %)
Thank you so much in advance.
(If no-one knows, I'd certainly be willing to try it out and let you know )

Haha!
I'd just like to keep it on all the time, because I think it looks good, but hate the fact that it only illuminates *after* touching the button, although I understand that Samsung can't know when you'd like to push those buttons.
And since I hate that the buttons are so inconsistent, I just keep them off all the time, because that looks cool too, but then again when I hand someone my phone, he/she doesn't get that there are buttons present there, which means they always press them, which then again leaves me to explain that this is not an iPhone and that there are cooler devices out there who work differently.

Exactly. I am afraid it wouldn't do any good, but I was just wondering: how much faster would the battery level drain (in comparison with the default settings).
R: Effect of illuminated capacitive buttons on battery?
You can activate the always on mode in the screen settings....but u do know nobody here will actually test battery drainage times with and without the buttons always on just to make a percentage for you man?
Srsly, try it for a couple of days and ull see....but i dont see them as such a neat feature, i like much more the colored notification led which can be changed with the lightflow app

I know. I just wondered *if* someone tried it already. And if so, if he/she would be so kind to share his/her results.
I am not expecting other people to do what I just asked. What the point for that?
Then, I'd better do it myself and not bother anyone.
R: Effect of illuminated capacitive buttons on battery?
Yeah....though i think youre getting a bit...."fixated" (forgive me if the term id too strong but since im not native english speaking i cant think of anything else right noe, just take the general meaning of the word) about these buttons.
Really battery is a big problem for smartphones and the buttons arent that cool, even if they were you still press on the so u cant see them....plus its useless cause nobody cares about your buttons as long as you have that cool 4,8" (at least if i remember well) screen...

They are just two little led's, they should really harm the battery life by anything really..
