Welcome to Windows Phone Stack Exchange

Windows Phone is a question and answer site for enthusiasts and power users of Windows Phone OS. It's built and run by you as part of the Stack Exchange network of Q&A sites. With your help, we're working together to build a library of detailed answers to every question about Windows Phone.

We're a little bit different from other sites. Here's how:


Ask questions, get answers, no distractions

This site is all about getting answers. It's not a discussion forum. There's no chit-chat.

Just questions...

...and answers.

up vote

Good answers are voted up and rise to the top.

The best answers show up first so that they are always easy to find.

accept

The person who asked can mark one answer as "accepted".

Accepting doesn't mean it's the best answer, it just means that it worked for the person who asked.

up vote 14 down vote favorite

When i watch movies on my phone in the dark, the three buttons light up and are disturbing my view. Is there any way to turn them off? or an app that do this for me?

I have read that if you lock the screen and unlock it again, they should turn off. But that dosent work.

If you go to Settings -> Battery Saver -> and turn Battery Saver on the buttons will turn off.

We need to be sure you are in the conserve mode by going to "advanced" and select "always (not recommended)".

The problem is that you phone will not automatically sync with this option in place (you can see a litle heart in the battery icon). But you can sync manually.

I don't believe it is possible to turn them off, because there is a feature suggestion for exactly this at the Windows Phone forum - which really should have been sent to Nokia feedback.


Tags make it easy to find interesting questions

All questions are tagged with their subject areas. Each can have up to 5 tags, since a question might be related to several subjects.

Click any tag to see a list of questions with that tag, or go to the tag list to browse for topics that interest you.

Get answers to practical, detailed questions

Focus on questions about an actual problem you have faced. Include details about what you have tried and exactly what you are trying to do.

Ask about...

  • Using your Windows Phone device
  • Using a particular app on your device
  • Trying to solve an error or other issue in using your device

Not all questions work well in our format. Avoid questions that are primarily opinion-based, or that are likely to generate discussion rather than answers.

Questions that need improvement may be closed until someone fixes them.

Don't ask about...

  • Developing/programming for Windows Phone
  • Marketing your app or doing market research
  • Recommendations, like "Which phone is better?" or "Can you suggest an app that does X?"
  • Legal questions, such as "Will X void my warranty?"
  • Xbox Live, Windows Live services, or Zune

Improve posts by editing or commenting

Our goal is to have the best answers to every question, so if you see questions or answers that can be improved, you can edit them.

Use edits to fix mistakes, improve formatting, or clarify the meaning of a post.

Use comments to ask for more information or clarify a question or answer.

You can always comment on your own questions and answers. Once you earn 50 reputation, you can comment on anybody's post.

Remember: we're all here to learn, so be friendly and helpful!

Great answer, I have used Battery Saver quite a bit and have never noticed that happening! - Speedy2171 May 16 at 15:08
