Is there any app/hack/widget to keep the backlights on the bottom buttons on just as long as the screen is backlit? So annoying how quickly they go off. Equally as annoying is how quickly the screen goes to sleep after you get a text. It literally stays on for 2 seconds, so I have to press the power button then slide/unlock to get to my text. Needs to be an option to keep it on for longer (10 seconds).

My soft keys at the bottom randomly go crazy, either the home key or back key will start flashing and vibrating and and exit whatever im in the middle of doing then it will stop, it does it randomly, but its really annoying, I wonder if I just got a defective unit?
View 13 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone else get annoyed by the bottom button backlights going out too quickly? Is there anyway to lengthen the time on that? It really is annoying to be surfing in the dark and not being able to see the menu button. Wish it was on the same timing as the main screen.

View 6 Replies View RelatedFirst off, I love the Captivate. I just recently swapped it out with the HTC Aria, and haven't looked back since. However, I do miss certain aspects of HTC's Sense UI...
Anyways, my main concern with this phone is the 4 Soft Keys below the Samsung logo. I will address my issues/concerns/questions in the following list:
--How bright are your soft keys when backlit? (In comparison to other Captivates or other Android devices)
--Mine seem to have a slight yellow/brownish tint to them. Anybody have pure white, or anything different?
--The Home button: is your roof slightly different sizes when comparing the left to right. (Yes, I am aware this is nit-picky. not worried or bothered, just curious)
--Finally, my responsiveness on any of the 4 buttons is spotty at times. Especially once pressed when they are no longer lit. Have many others experienced this, and if so, which button(s) in particular give you trouble?
I've searched for an answer to this but so far nada so I'm asking. Is there a way to manage or keep the home keys lit while the screen is on? On my new captivate the turn off very quickly. They do light up after I've pressed one but I'd like to be able to hit the key first off.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI hate soft keys. They're hard to see. It's hard to know whether I pressed them. I often press them accidentally. They add absolutely nothing to the phone. In short, soft keys suck.
View 18 Replies View RelatedJust brought a Droid Eris. Love the phone. There is one thing that is really getting on my nerves. Is there a way to disable the bottom keys (Menu, Home, Back, Search, etc etc) from vibrating when touch? Even when I dial a number the keys are vibrating (haptic feedback) I've read the manual. Just havent found a way to stop it

View 23 Replies View RelatedI just got a Samsung Captivate and I love it. But there are four applications at the bottom of the screen that includes, Phone, Email, Browser, and Applications. They came there with the phone. I was wondering if you can remove/edit these 4 applications so you can put others there. Because I would like to replace the samsung email app with the google email app.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am facing difficulty in placing the soft keys at the bottom of the screen. I have two EditTexts in my layout and then i want the space to be empty and then place the soft keys "Save" and "Clear" at the bottom of the layout. But not able to do. Tried using layouts and Gravity.

I don't know how or even why a live wallpaper would turn off backlight settings for the keys but its becoming a major inconvenience. I checked the settings but couldn't find where to tweak backlight settings. I also rebooted the phone and did a soft reset but that didn't work. Can anyone out there help a brother out?

First post here. First Android phone as well. Picked up the X yesterday and am enjoying it. One quick question though, can I not turn the phone to the right (bottom keys to the left) to change the orientation? Things only turn when I turn the phone left or straight up, not right or upside down.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have looked everywhere in the forums and although I know it is in here I can't seem to find the answer to this question. How do I change the home buttons at the bottom of the main screen? I have switched to k9 mail and would like to replace the stock email icon there.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI know this is possible as the built in clock app and other apps are able to do it. How do you turn off the button backlights from code? These would be those like the softkeys on the bottom of the Nexus One screen.
Update: Found this, but it only works on Froyo: WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = getWindow().getAttributes();
lp.buttonBrightness = 0;
I have an old website i need to access , and it uses function keys to scroll through pages...I haven't been able to find a way to use the function keys, I ve tried swype, htc, and androids keyboard to no avail. Anyone know of a keyboard that has these keys mapped?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThey function key has a few weird stains on it that look like dirt or coffee stains. Those were there when I first got the phone. Is there any method to clean it without messing up the phone? If it involves buying some sort of cleaning solution, please suggest something I will use for other purposes other than this one issue.

View 4 Replies View RelatedNot crazy about the placement of the power button. Is there a way to remap the volume or camera buttons to wake the phone? And yes, I've seen the "No lock" thread, but I still want the phone to be somewhat difficult to accidentally unlock. What would be perfect would be a double click of one of the other buttons to waken and unlock the phone. Is this possible? Maybe it's a root thing?
