Samsung Galaxy Note 4 UGH! Capacitive Buttons and Gray Stripes!

[Ms. Treo]

I know this issue is mostly isolated to the Black Note 4's, but I absolutely hate the gray striations over the buttons!

I think maybe each Note 4 is different in stripe positioning, but one of the stripes directly overlays on top of the bottom line of the left button (dual box). It makes it look like the box isn't fully lit up. Does anyone else notice have that issue?

I know I am being a stickler, but its so annoying.

Mine has the stripes. But it doesn't bother me in the slightest. Not judging you though. Different strokes and whatnot.

I think the buttons look pretty naff with or without lines. Mine don't light up at all (settings / device / display and wallpaper / touch key duration / always off).

I didn't really like the look of this either. But oh well. I think that Samsung should go to onscreen buttons like everyone else.

I like the stripes. I do wish they would dim at night though. They are super bright in the dark.

You're not alone. They dont block the soft keys but Im not a fan of them at all.

Hey at my age I am happy I can see anything! The stripes are good indication that i am not completely blind......yet. Sorry just some humor but I definitely get that it would bother some....probably people with way better vision than me.

I actually love the fact that they do not have on screen buttons like everyone else. It allows us to use the full screen size where as everyone else has an inch of the screen taken up by the black button strip.

I would say then make the entire screen bigger. But it would help not to have the capacitive buttons.

Not that it would've bothered me but I always have it off. Just don't see the point of it.

I love a physical home button. Because if my screen freezes then what? And I would always accidentally press home when typing on the M8. Love the home button. I'm not a fan of the stripes but I deal with it.

Those lines are one of the reasons that i went with the white version.. It doesnt effect the lights in the same way...

I think the buttons look pretty naff with or without lines. Mine don't light up at all (settings / device / display and wallpaper / touch key duration / always off).

I also found the backlight for those buttons too bright and turned them off. It actually looks better with them off.. Although with the white version when the lights are off the buttons or symbols completely disappear.. I really like it that way.

I'll take capacitive and home buttons ANY day over dumb a$$ soft buttons taking up display space. Word.

Why do people wish Samsung did on screen buttons? When there's so many options out there, why do you wish all phones were the exact same?

I actually dislike the home button. I try not to press it whenever I can. I don't want anything to malfunction with it, and I don't want dust getting in there.

I like the Galaxy Nexus set-up - all of the buttons were capacitive.

Why have that huge button there when the technology exists to remove it?

You are probably going to hate me but I just noticed that the LED also has the stripes....

Never had an issue with the physical button. Used it all the time on my Note II, don't see the problem on the Note 4. I guess they could have built the fingerprint scanner right into the phone over a capacitive button, but even Apple doesn't do that.

I turned my touch key lights off. Takes away from a clean look and also uses power.

Nice. Where's that setting?

Settings, display and click touch key light duration.
