No backlight on home button - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

Just got my phone yesterday, and I have yet to see the home button light up. Is there a setting I need to change, or does it only do it during certain times or functions?

it doesn't light up; if you look at it closely it's 100% solid opaque plastic.

Oh, ok. I guess in all the fuss about it being purple or not I assumed it was referring to the backlight of the button. Thanks for the info.

can't see mine right now
I'll try later with sun light and correct angle

How do I turn off the sidebar?

Hey folks:
I have been looking for days to turn off the little sidebar app with all the shortcuts. I can't find the app to disable or the setting to turn off!
Any one know how?
Thanks,

Try long pressing the back button
It took me a while to figure out as well. If you want it back long press it again (multi window must be enabled)

I've seen so many how do I or what is this threads it's crazy. Have we got so lazy where we don't read manuals? You tube Google. Come on folks let's try just a little bit.

Or you can use the Multi window button in notification panel.

[Q] Question: Can you force the home/back keys to stay on screen at all times?

Question: Can you force the home/back keys to stay on screen at all times? Like say if you go into the camera the buttons disappear. Is there a way to force them to be on all the time?
Yeah mine are on all the time.

They don't disappear on mine. However on mine the icons turn into dots sometimes, like in the camera. Not sure why.

Buttons stay or go away based upon the app you are using. Camera...they stay on. Netflix or any other video, they go bye bye. Varies by app I believe

Can we dim the menu and back keys?

Hey guys I recently bought the Lux Auto Brightness app which dims your display according to your environment. I would like to dim my hardware keys because when I'm in a pitch black room the keys are still bright......Any ideas would be awesome. Thanks

Up to my knowledge you can only shorten the duration of the back lit keys or turn them off completely. Settings>Display>Touch key light duration. I have my keys to not lit up at all and i like it.
i dont see that option in display

[Q] Notification led behind?

Hi
I have a LG g2 d802. I wonder if it have led on the power button behind?
The one in front lights up..

Yes it has. It is particularly visible when you turn on the phone using knock on. I haven't found a way to manage it though. Lightflow can't control it.
