Onyx Front Light Trick (Nova Pro/Note Pro)

Robert Bitzer · 03-30-2019, 08:56 PM

I was watching a review of the Nova Pro and the reviewer said if you long-press the "back" button at the bottom of the device, it would cycle the front light on and off...I tried it on my Note Pro and sure enough, it works!

Anyway, it even works within a running app, like Kindle...since we don't have a manual/user guide for the Note Pro available yet, I thought I'd post this tip here.

FYI, I'm running v2.1 on the Note Pro..not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Nice trick, thanks for sharing it.
It also works on 2.0 firmware.

You might also want to look into using the floating navigation ball which is an app that comes with the new 2.1 firmware. It is a translucent ball which appears on your screen which has five buttons which you can select to perform a variety of functions such as taking a screenshot, jumping back to the homepage, optimizing and app, controlling the light etc... Love it.
