Galaxy Button Lights

Galaxy Button Lights is designed to offer you control over the illumination duration of the capacitive buttons on certain Samsung Galaxy devices. This straightforward app allows you to set the buttons, such as the recent apps and back arrow, to remain lit for a specified duration, stay on continuously while the screen is active, be completely off, or revert to the device’s default settings. Its primary function enhances your device usage by customizing button light settings according to your preference.

Device Compatibility and Usage

While Galaxy Button Lights has been successfully tested on Verizon models of the S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, S7, and S7 Edge, users of other carrier models or devices like the Galaxy Tab S2 have also reported successful usage. Be aware that it does not work on the Tab A line due to the absence of button backlights in those models. It potentially supports other Samsung devices, including the Galaxy Note 5, though it has yet to be tested on devices outside the specified models. Importantly, this app does not require root access, but it does need permission to write system settings to save adjustments.

Optimal Performance Tips

To ensure optimal performance of Galaxy Button Lights, verify that your device’s power-saving mode is disabled, as the app is unable to override this function. In cases where the buttons fail to light, toggling the power-saving mode off and then on might resolve any residual settings left by power-saving mode. Enjoy the convenience of customizing your device without compromising energy efficiency.
