Are my touch key lights working properly?

[nplateau77]

I have only had my Note 4 for a couple of days now, but I think something peculiar is happening. Whenever I touch the screen on my Note 4, the touch key lights come on. I don't really remember this happening before, rather I recollect that they only came on when I touched the actual touch keys. I have them set to 1.5 seconds, and that's all well and fine, but I don't believe they are supposed to come on when I just touch the screen.

I have watched a few videos to see how the Note 4 of reviewers work, and the touch key lights don't come on when they just touch or swipe the screen. Please help. Your time and responses are very much appreciated.

hmm strange that u have noticed it cuz mine comes on when I touch the screen!

That's very strange. I just watched another video, this one by Marquez Brownlee on youtube (I would post a link but since I don't have enough posts I can't). In the video, whenever he touches the screen or swipes, the touch key lights do not come on at all. The only time they come on, is when the touch keys are actually touched. Is my phone defective?

Your Note works perfectly fine. Not sure why his act like that in the video. Maybe he's running a custom rom that has that option baked in.

The reason they're supposed to light up when the screen is touched is to let the user know where they're at. I keep mine off.

If you go to settings/display/touch key lights you can adjust the setting there. So everything is fine I'm sure you can also set the lights to never come on.

I have mine turned off.

If one has power saving mode enabled, the key lights don't turn on. I just turned power saving mode off (I have it on all the time) and my keys lit up every time I touched the screen. Your phone is fine. If you see videos where they're not coming on, that person most likely has power saving mode enabled.

Well just noticed mine was not lit even though I was touching screen and the buttons. Checked setting and it's suppose to be on Always. I even did a full restart lastnight before I went to bed. Figured out though when I go back to settings and turn it off then go out of settings then go back into settings and turn it to Always On, the buttons lit up. So there is definitely a glitch, at least on my phone. Just got this phone a week ago.

I think it is a software glitch. Happens on my note 4 and tab pro 8.4 occasionally. A restart will fix it for a while

Make sure power saving mode is turned off. If that is turned on the touch keys will not turn on at all

Power saving wasn't on. I never use it. True glitch.

I have power saving mode on (not ultra) and my touch keys light up.

Weird because on my Samsung tab (New touchwiz) they don't anymore. They used to on my s4 and note 3 though

Hmmm. That's strange. And you're running stock? If you only got it a week ago, exchange it for a brand New one. If its defective you shouldn't have to pay restock fee.

It can be turned off as the previous post suggested I wasn't aware of this and just turned mine off to save battery life.

Hey this is isn't a glitch or anything to worry at all, this differs on the model numbers sadly. My friends use n910f and one used n910F which have touch key lights turning on Only when you touch the buttons. Whereas I use an N910A by at&t and touch key lights turn on when the screen is touched as well as the buttons. Hope this clears all doubts.
