Hard buttons backlight not turning off !! - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

hey guys ...
I GUESS NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN HELPING ME OUT ,
I ASKED THIS BEFORE,MANY TIMES,MANY THREADS, BUT NO RESPONSE SO FAR....
THE ISSUE IS ----------->>>
i am really stuck wid this problem , i am using the BOYPPC-GINGERBREAD-GOEX-V2 version currently
and i cant turn off the hardware button backlight completely off , neither by cyanogen mod settings nor by using any app .
earlier i used to use this app called ( ** adjbrightness**) to turn off the button backlight but it is not working in this rom.
IS THERE ANY SOLUTION OR ANY OTHER TWEAK /TRICK TO COMPLETELY TURN OF THE BUTTON BACKLIGHT IN THIS BUILD ???
GUYS PLEEEEEEEZ HELP ME WITH THIS.....I REALLY WANNA TURN THEM OFF !!!

why don't you post in that build's thread. I'm sure users who had that problem would tell you how they solved it. and if it can't be solved, the Dev might fix it in the next release

Can't find that Rom?

Hi, just go to Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Display > Automatic backlight and check Use Custom. Then go to Edit other levels and add 0 to Buttons.

thanks but even this did nt help ....
i have the exact same cyanogen mod settings but even after putting the values '0' '0' '0' '0' and then saving nd applying it,
the button backlight did nt turn off.
any other method ???
or any clue what could be the problem ??

Why is it so important for you to turn them off?
Please keep in mind, that our beloved hd2 originally doesn't run android and so the hardware also doesn't play nice with all software.
I think the button backlight is controlled by the liblights.so. As far as I know there are three different versions of them, one with working notifications and limited auto backlight, one with fully working auto backlight and NOT working notifications and one with working auto backlight and limited working notifications.
...already used them all, but can't remember, that controlling the button backlight was working in one version.
So guess it's a kernel related issue.
So you could try builds with different kernels: tytungs kernel is the most spreaded one, and I mean here it's not working, so try gpcs, rafingas, mdjs, bauner(?)...maybe youve got luck.
Maybe you can also contact tytung and ask if its a kernel issue.

REQUEST: Power off backlight to 0% on WM6.x?

Hi!
If someone could deal with this:
I am looking for tweak or application which turns off backlight - not just dim the display to lower level after some time.
I want to completely turn off backlight to 0% and when the screen is tapped the backlight is on again.
Any solution for this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
please ask questions in the Questions & Answers section of the forum.
thanks

Yup, this problem annoys me aswell.
This is a major design-improvement mistake in wm6, and all wm6 devices suffer from it. The OLD wm5 backlight behaviour was way better.
This new behaviour actualy make the native windows Device lock function unusable. Also, wm is much more stable if you never suspend it, and battery performance is almost the same.
I even searched for a wm5 downgrade rom for my eten m800 (wm5 does not have the dimming "feature"), but without success.
I still hope someone will manage to get a fix for this to function like in the wm5 days (my mio a701 was able to do it easely).
I would very much love something like this too. That the power button would just switch off the backlight instead of powering off the device. I've tried to search but all I've found is something that would turn the screen off but you'll still need to press the power button to turn it back on and not tapping on the screen.

Your question should be posted at Q&A ,try this application http://www.flytrap.it/default.asp?p=blackme#eng

Try ScreenOff
http:
//www.appliedpda.com/downloads/list/for_free
I use that to turn the screen off without turning off the connection when listening to music. I just tap the power button to make it come back on.
They also have ScreenOn to make the screen come on. But why not just use the power button?

Thank you for your sugestions of posting to Q&A forum, but this is not a question, this is a developement request. It is not posible actualy to do this with available apps, we tried them all.
WildSioux:
thnx, i know screen off, but we want to get rid of using power button.
Al we need is some patch that disable wm6.x backlight dimming instead of turning off.
thnx,
and if you still consider that this topic is in the wrong section we will start a new one in Q&A, or maybe some moderator will move it if it is posible.

Did you see the "ScreenOn" program they have? I haven't tried it. But perhaps the screen could be turned off via ScreenOff. The turned on with ScreenOn by mapping it to tapping on the screen (ftouchsl...)

SOLVED: Compass and G sense no longer work - help please ?

Hi,
I've had my Hero on Orange UK now for about 1 month.. I have been using various compass apps and even the spirit level apps.
All was fine until last week when I tried to use the compass and it failed to work/move..
I tried the spirit level apps and they have stopped working...
Is there a way to test the compass and G sensor to make sure what is happening ?
I did wonder if the driver may have been corrupted while I was trying the various apps. I have a lot of apps now on the phone, including paid for sat nav etc. It's my work phone and don't really want to send it back to Orange (or HTC) unless it is the last resort as it is needed daily..
Is there a soft reset that will reload the drivers ?
Any help would be appreciated
Have you tried resetting your gsensor calibration in Settings --> Sound and Display?
I didn't know we had a compass?... where?

I did have difficulty finding the calibration setting, seems a strange place to put it !
Anyway, I've now run the cal for the G sensor and it goes through the motions etc and says calibrated.
I guess if it physically didn't work it would throw up a failed to calibrate type error messge.
I just down loaded a simple spirit level prog (after taking all my similar progs off incase one of those was causing problem).
If I use the calibration setting on that it doesn't even move, that is what is making me feel more inclined (Could be a joke there !) to think that it is the drivers that are faulty and HTC's G sensor cal works at a lower level....
ddotpatel: The compass facility is (was !) very good. Some of the apps are better than others and are faster to respond. Just type in compass in market place, loads of free ones to try..
I really could do with finding a full original driver pack to re install. That may cure my problem...
Failing that, is there a proper SOFT RESET for the Hero, not just power off or take battery out. Something that forces it to reload drivers etc...
Thanks again for taking the time out to reply..
Phil-w
Ok,.... Next thing to do is to uninstall all compas applications,... Then reboot,... then calibrate gsensor again,... then reboot,... install compas app, try again.
If that still fails,... I'd run an RUU to restore back to factory set.
RUUs can be found in the sticky at the top of the development section,...
[ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links
Well that did the trick,
4 re cals and re boots then downloaded new compass app, works a treat now.
I will have to keep checking if all is well. Try the same trick again if not....
Thanks
Phil
p.s it did come up this time with aborted calibration a couple of times but now seems stable.
Glad it helped pal.
Do us a favour, edit the title in your 1st post and put [SOLVED] at the start or end of it.
Peace.

[Q] Galaxy S4 standby doesnt work

So i've had the S4 since it got released and i like it,
but for some reason the standby doesnt work at all.. i have it set to turn off the screen after 30 secs of idle and it does not work.
anyone else having this issue?
mine works fine. see what apps have been installed. maybe some app requires not to go in standby and prevents the screen to go off

Have similar problem - screen do not off completely. Does not mateer what time I chose, does not matter if smart stay is on or off. I do not have it's icon visible in the status bar whet it is off. Anyway screen is always on. Any help?
Same problem here. The phone just dims its screen but it never shuts it off.
This is quite annoying when the phone lights up to show the low batt warning and just drains all its remaining energy. Perfect.

Try disabling all smart stay options (smart pause could still be on).

Seems that I found the reason. But still do not have permanent solution. After restart screen went off without problem. After running some application it became constantly on again. When I closed some applications (long press home button and swipe open applications) screen also turned off normally. So probably some application makes such a problem. Have to check which one.

[Q] How can I get rid of the "wlan_ctrl_wake wakelock"?

Hey guys,
I have a serious problem with my Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005.
Since last month my battery drains like hell and at the same time, my wifi works not properly. It is on but only wenn I get into the Wifi-Settings it scans the location for signals. So it doesn't get into a wifi-router itself, I have to scan the area on my own and only after that it logs into the saved routers.
I used "Wake Lock Detector" to see which application doesnt let my processor sleep and I found that 90% of the time the "wlan_ctrl_wake" lets my phone awake. What can I do? I did nothing (I think) it would make it this way! Is my Wifi damaged? Or is it only a software problem? When I go by train it is the same problem. I don't think the problem is my router or something else but my phone. It is a problem of my phone.
When I turn Wi-Fi off, it works very well.
Sincerly,
Jan
@poanda in wifi settings press menu and advance there uncheck always allow scanning snd see if this works.
Also select never in keep wifi on during sleep.

So you're saying practically I shouldn't use Wi-Fi anymore? Because I know both are checked and they were never a problem. I don't think that's the solution (but I will test your first idea).
I think it is a deeper problem. I had never such an high wake up time and I use it since April'14.
And I forgot to tell that I updatet the ROM to KOT49H.N9500XXUGNI4 (Buildnumber) two weeks before the problem.

I'm not sure what could be the reason in your case. But you can try this:
Enter the code *#0011#, then press Menu button > WiFi, and make sure WIFI Power Save Mode is ON?
It was checked all the time
Does this screenshot help?
Ok it's already ON.

What do u mean they don't work? Try to reboot your phone and give it another go, worst comes to worst go to recovery and do a factory reset and try again. If not I'd think about returning it as faulty.
