Jog wheel broken?

Hi folks!
Has anyone here by chance had an issue with their Hermes Jogwheel? My phone's carefully looked-after and has only ever been dropped twice but for some reason my jogwheel has stopped working.
I tried a hard reset to make sure it wasn't a software thing but no luck with it working again

I have only seen one previous report of a hardware issue with the jog wheel. Not likely a repairable component, but might just need re-seating.
NB also has flashlight on the reverse (does that work??)

Yeah it's strange... The light is fine (tested with the camera flash function)
Just weird that it stopped all of a sudden and can't see as it's a software problem because of the hard reset etc.
I may have a look for a "how to disassemble" guide and see if it's been unseated as you suggested, cheers!
EDIT: For others who may see this and have a similar prob, the guide is here:-

The ROM change would have reset any software issue and you have checked the connections, so I''m afraid it does sound like a hardware fault. I presume the backlight never comes on and you see ?? nothing on screen?
Perhap there are others who have experienced this?
Mike

yea the backlight never comes on but i dont see my today screen and stuff i can still use it but its preeetty hard using it without the backlight haha. hopefully someone has the same problem and fixed it. i hope its not the hardware.... thanx for the reply thought i was going to be left alone hahah

can anyone help me??? or has a solution to this problem??

i just put in a order for another screen hopefully its the screen that is defective....

The main backlight is generated in a pcb of the Flash unit(camera flash). It´s located inside of the rear case, and have a small screw that the subject one to the internal antenna. This pcb have a connector in the under side. If this connector (or the complete pcb) is disconnected, removed, liquid damage or broken, the main backlight don´t works.

Aokp users led notification light

Found a trick to the led notification inside the ROM control area. If you would like to change the color of your LED notification do not use custom colors to the left only use the slider to the right and then set them.
The slider to right is the colorful one

What's the difference between Set and !!!? So all you do to change the color of yours is use the slider on the right... do you need to then touch the right-hand color swatch, the Set button or !!! so it takes effect?

I can't seem to figure out how to get mine to show anything other than a yellowish color. I'm using the slider on the right and hitting set, but to no avail. Just attempting to get back the stock blue, much less abrasive.
EDIT: Unsurprisingly it turns out that I'm just dumb and was overlooking LED settings within other apps...Oops! OP recommendation works just fine. Thanks!

No problem and don't use the !!! Just click the new color and done like I said it's close to the color that you pick but not perfect. Some notifications automatically come out red on their own for example Facebook notifications etc. but system apps seems to be the color that you pick

After installing this on my phone the LED won't do anything when charging, fully charged. Any reason why? I tried light flow but its bugged for the S3 right now.

because aosp does not offer those options only Samsung software

White LED?

Anyone else notice the white led that lights up while charging?
I wonder if this could be RGB as well and light up with other colors?
Perhaps someone can bring a tweak or mod that can activate the LED for notification purposes?
Just wanted to get this thread started for anyone also interested in this happening. I hope a Dev can come forth and make it a reality!

This has been mentioned. I am not rooted yet but I wonder if anyone has tried the Light Flow app from the play store to see if it works.

I am rooted, and have tried lightflow. Unfortunately it reports that the LED is white only. :crying:

So it doesn't work for notifications at all through the app?

No, I could not get it to have any control over the LED. I tried the legacy version as well, and direct mode and also granting su (all suggestions from the author of the app). Nothing worked.

But can it be used for notifications, even if it is just white?

I don't think so. It's pretty much the same led that was on the 3rd gen Moto and it's not much use for anything actually useful.
