Disable touch key lights? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not just missing it right? On my Verizon Note 5 I am not finding an option to turn off the touch key lights.

not sure if you can without downloading "Galaxy Button Lights" from the play store

Aha! I did not know about this app, thank you much kind sir!

I use that app too. I wish there was a way to just dim them. They are too bright at night and having them come every time you touch the screen is annoying so I just turned them off.

On the AT&T model there is an option, assuming you are referring to the capacitive buttons. Seems like a silly thing to remove from carrier specific models.

I tend to just be in this mode most of the time. and when I'm just listening to music, I'll triple click (setting on) to greyscale for some extra power savings without disabling almost everything that U. Power Saving does.

Carriers and their ignorant choices.... On AT&T "Wallpaper" is its own separate heading under settings, which is honestly just stupid. I can think of no reason they should remove the option to disable the capacitive light timing.

Just turn on power saving mode in the settings under battery

look at my thread, I done a tutorial on how to do it.

There's an app you can called "Galaxy Button Lights", it'll disable them for you. I've been using it since Day 1 of my Note 5 without any issues and I know many others here use it as well.
It's pretty much the only way as mentioned on Page 1,
Hope this helps.

no its not there is more than 1 way, I can count 3

Trying now will report back.

Touch key
It worked for me. Go to touch kry light and turn to always on. Then go to power save mode turn it on and then set to immediately. The lights should pop back know on.

International models are representative of Samsung's software that's clean and bloat free and if the setting to adjust keylight duration is not on those models than no other variant should have it. ATT software is cloneware .

Maybe it's on but it's just having a kernel panic. Try holding the power button for about 20 seconds then try turning it on.

Certainly start by leaving it on the Google charger overnight. May take that long to charge up.
Also, hold the power button in for 30 seconds.
Purchased mail order? In-store exchange is the one advantage to purchasing local.
super strange a really long power button press got it on. i feel dumb now. about the local purchase, its a nexus 7 3g, if you can find one locally you are a lucky man
edit: if someone wants to close this, or tell me how i can marked as "answered" i got what i needed. i suppose some other noob might have the same problem thou

Go to Edit/Delete post, then click on "Go Advanced" in the field above. You should be able to edit the title from there.
PS, where are you and what store did you manage to snag the 3G N7 at?

Shortcut settings for Vibrate mode on lollipop

Ever since lollipop update, holding the power button and setting to vibrate/mute mode was removed. What do you guys do/use to go to vibrate mode now? Is there any faster way other than holding # on the keypad or changing to vibrate mode on notification bar that doesn't require to unlocking the phone.
Press volume down until the phone vibrates.

That's weird. I was rooted prior to the update. I wiped and flashed the stock rom via odin. Nothing else was done.
I don't use the stock lockscreen mainly because playstore lockscreens have more options like more apps besides camera and phone.
Try zuilocker. it includes a control panel with some quick settings like sound mode.
So, bottom line, on stock unrooted, there is no way to add the old sound short cuts on the power menu?

Stop Screen from coming on when fully charged

Does anybody know a way to prevent the screen from coming on (to the lock screen, not the always on screen) when the phone is fully charged? I have my phone on a wireless charger on my desk all day and it keeps topping off the battery but every time it hits 100% the screen comes on. So it's constantly charging up, screen on, discharging a little, charging up, screen on, etc...

I tried so many things with my N7 and nothing worked. not on my N4 either. it'll take something like root or other things to accomplish. I gave up and just deal. N8 due here shortly.

There's an app called SnooZy Charger. It's a Canadian app in the Play Store but not available for us in the United States Play Store for some reason. I have the link to the dev's page though. Download the zip (non flash-able of course) and extract the APK. Save it to your phone, install it and open settings, change "Connection status" to have the screen turn off when you either plug in the phone, unplug the phone or both.
Visit the entire site here.
If you just want to download the zip (the apk link no longer works) click here.
Best I can do with no Xposed or root. Hope it helps.

Thanks for posting this - I downloaded it and it works well. I usually charge in my phone after I am bed - and it annoyed me when the screen would light up.

I fixed it! I'm using AutomateIt Pro and I have a rule for charging/not charging and part of the rule on each is lock screen on/off and screen dim low (still playing with the number) and then screen back to normal when removed. it may not be perfect, but I am so tired of Sprint turning on my screen when it's finished charging or at random times. since I keep it on a wireless charger when not using this handles it for me. hope you all find your particular solutions. best of luck.
This should be a phone setting. Particularly annoying how it will routinely turn the screen on. Why doesn't it do that when connected to a charging cable?

Tasker isn't for everyone. I tried to make it as easy as I could by going step by step.
I got it set up and had it enabled. Something buggy with the app since other things are also not working. I'll play with it later. Meanwhile AutomateIt is giving me what I need until root.

I turned it on and then I tested it multiple times. did a bit of troubleshooting, uninstall, reinstall, add the item back, etc. something is buggy with my app. and it's really different from the first time I tried it years ago. really straightforward now, but won't let me do any kind of customization, etc. and save it. later I'll go clear my cache and see if that does anything. since my needs are handled atm I'll deal another day.

Thank you! This was also driving me nuts! I ended up having to leave it on the Wireless Charger in the kitchen overnight because the spouse is a light sleeper and threatened to shove my phone where the sun doesn't shine if the screen comes on again at night

Biometrics to turn off phone?

One of my favorite features on my S8 was that in order to restart or turn off the phone, biometrics was required (Iris or Fingerprint) in my case. I do not see this feature on the Note 8. I can't find a setting I might be missing, is the feature just not available on this phone? I did a search, but couldn't find anything.
I know what u mean I still own my S8, i use cerberus so it has that feature in it and it also has the feature of blocking the notification drop down while phone is locked. I don't use that feature though.

Thanks, but that requires a pin to power the phone on. My S8 could not be turned off without using Iris or Fingerprint so If I lost it or it was stolen it could not be turned off and I could track it.

the thief can turn off your device through recovery. bixby+power button +volume up. all done: p
My note 8 does that. If I try turning off my device without unlocking it first(i have fingerprint and pin on), it will tell me to enter my figerprint or pin. And this kicks in for me 5 seconds after turning the screen off. If you unlock the phone first, it wont tell you to input figerprint/else

My Note8 requires a PIN or biometric to power off or restart if it's not unlocked when I hold down the power button. Not really sure what this feature is for, but it works as it should.

whats the point of having to unlock your device to be able to turn it off ? if someone steals your phone and doesnt know how to turn it off without password/whatever, he can just wait until battery drains and phone turns off on its own lol

Yeah, but during that time, I would still be able to track its location while its on
This feature has a major flaw.
If you enable secure start-up you can't power-off phone without biometrics or pin, but you can reboot it and all the tracking functions are off. Reboot should be also available if you enter the biometrics or pin.

Question Power button and material you

At least try to look in the Settings guys, and don't just say "not possible" if you don't know it.
It's only two steps deep in the Settings, annoyed me aswell.
Go to SETTINGS --> SYSTEM SETTINGS --> ON-OFF-BUTTON
It was not possible to set power button behavior until recent updates, I think it was added in version A18 from two months ago.
