Softbutton brightness between variants?

[brandonb81]

I have a Captivate, and my friend here just picked up the t-mobile version, the Vibrant. I was checking out his phone and I noticed the soft buttons on his phone were insanely bright compared to mine. I am attaching a picture I took with my other friends Evo.

Shouldn't these phones be entirely identical except for the case design? You think there's something wrong with my Captivate? I have to double check my brothers. It I wouldn't mind the soft buttons being a little dimmer, but now that I've seen the Vibrant, I'm a little jealous! What do you guys think?

And this... is my friend who just got the Vibrant, who's phone I took a picture of. Your phone may have brighter softlights, but my phone's got nicer styling! So there!

Anyway, anyone else notice a big difference in the brightness? I know we've been unsuccessful in changing the length of time the soft lights stay lit, but how about changing the brightness?

Interesting to see if this is an issue with the Samsung Captivate or if the Vibrant just has a brighter soft key lighting

Its not an issue. I read both reviews on android central about the Vibrant and Captivate and that is just how the devices are. It is normal and I actually prefer them being softer.

I'd actually prefer a middle ground, I occasionally would like our lights to be a little brighter, but not too bright like the vibrant

And better styling ftw

I think the lightts are better on the captivate. The only thing that needs to be bright it's the screen, also the dim soft light conserve battery.

I went to the at&t store today to play with the captivate and thought it was broken it was so dim. Looking at your picture it was the same thing. My vibrant is x100 brighter.

see i don't think the dimness is the capti's problem. I personally think it's not a big deal and it's fine.. the problem is the responsiveness of those buttons.. they're pretty bad. I've heard good things about the lag fix helping those buttons out, though I don't think it will maximum that kink out so much ..
