 Capacitive Button Backlighting

Samsung Galaxy S7 and the S7 Edge have been launched with a bang. Everyone is talking about the new devices and how extremely well they perform. This isn’t it; the consumer reports have even concluded the Galaxy S7 Edge as the best flagship of 2016. Even, many flagships haven’t been launched yet. But still all the tech giants are afraid of their decreasing sales due to the handset.

However, with the launch of new device a new trimmed version of TouchWiz has also been introduced. The trimmed version has made it incapable to configure the backlighting behavior of the capacitive keys. Before the new interface, users were able to completely disable capacitive button backlighting behavior. Apart from disabling it, users were also capable of managing how long backlighting will stay or were able to leave it always on.

The newly added feature has some value, no doubt. This way or that we have to accept the new change, even if we don’t want to. However, if you are not the one to compromise then we might have something for you.
