[8800Pro] How to disable button lights while in FBReader? - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

So the problem is obvious, the option to disable the lights of hardware buttons no longer works after updating to (stock) Gingerbread. It worked well while I was on Froyo btw.
Any suggestions? It really drives me nuts, I love to read at night and button lights really distract me every time I go to the next page.

+1,good Question

If you're up for a ROM change, genokolar's CM7 works fine with the disabling lights feature of FBReader.

New ROM sounds good, but I also would like know the reason behing this weird behaviour. CM and Gingerbread must be very similar just because CM7 is based on GB, and I believe if CM lets FBReader to control button lights, stock GB too can be tweaked to do the same.
I summon a developer in this thread!

Clickling trackball doesn't do anything

Hello All,
I had stock 32A ROM and trackball worked (mainly I used it in camera and camcorder).
I have updated to cursor sense UI ROM and suddenly I saw that clicking on the trackball doesn't do anything, the zoom is working, but no picture is taken.
I got back to stock ROM and then I saw that trackball click still doesn't work.
E.G you can use trackball on recovery screen to move up and down, but select doesn't work if you click on the trackball.
The phone didn't fall or something...
Any idea how to get back the select upon trackball click?
Thanks,
that's strange... I cannot really help but the only thing I can tell you for sure is that the trackball click doesn't work with the hero recovery, you have to use the green call key to click. It should work fine in Android and with the camera though... and what's very surprizing is that is still doesn't work after reverting to the stock ROM.
I had a similar problem, but couldn't click anything to GET cursor installed using the hero recovery.
No trackball, and the call-answer button didn't work to click either.
It works great once I do the downgrade back to the 1.5.2 ra-sapphire though.
So I seem to be able to give up and get my phone working again when I give up on the install at night but I'd love to get my phone up on data again.
I'll eventually have to cave and get the Rogers rom going if I can't figure this out.

Official Vibrant Bugs Thread

I don't know if this exists, but I thought it would be a good idea to place all the bugs that people find in one place, in hopes of them getting fixed either by Samsung or by a custom rom. If this is a bad thread idea, or has already been done, mods please feel free to do with this what you will.
Just off the bat, I've noticed only a couple of bugs.
1) After using Google Navigation, my system volume resets to the highest level. I usually have it completely turned off, because the sounds on every click are quite annoying. I just noticed that I always have to turn it back down after using Navigation.
2) I had the timer set, then the alarm went off, but I accidentally hit the home button or the back button before I could stop the timer. The alarm continued going off, no matter how many times I would set and stop a new timer. Could not figure out how to turn the alarm off, and eventually had to reboot to kill it.
That's all I really have for now, but if you have noticed anything else please feel free to add it to this thread.
edit: this is for bugs in the stock rom, obviously modifying your phone opens up a whole 'nother can of worms
People using different ROM will have different bugs. Unless you talk about stock ROM bugs.
Taking a picture in portrait mode and then sharing it (Facebook, messaging, etc) results in a landscape photo orientation that is 90° incorrectly rotated.
My haptic feedback vibration is just gone after flashing JI5 . Wont vibrate with the soft bottons or using key pad. I really dont like not having any vibration.

[Q] Best way to use HD2 without buttons? (hard buttons no longer work on my phone.)

So i've been dealing with this for the last week or so and I finally decided to stop searching and scouring the internet and ask for some help from my XDA brethren.
I don't exactly know how or why, but all the hard buttons on my HD2 do not work anymore. Volume up and down, pick up, home, menu, back, and hang up buttons... all not working. They all stopped working at the same time.
I don't really care except for the fact that I cannot wake my phone up after it locks/sleeps. I tried an app called Shake and Wake with no luck. Any sugguestions? or should I just look for a new phone? I really don't want to give up on my HD2... we've been through a lot! Thanks a ton you guys, I really appreciate it.
If I were you I would head on over to the nexus one threads and ask the question.
That phone only has one button, and some folk have had that not work, so they are used to the problem, and I'm sure they will have a solution for you. Worth a try anyway........
Button Savior - free from Market
Jadrobe, I really like button saviour but that still doesn't solve my problem, how do I wake the phone up without any buttons?!!
do your volume buttons work? if so, you could use ButtonRemapper (paid app) to remap one of your volume buttons to work as your power button and do the rest with button savior.
Nope, none of the buttons work!! I'm screwed!
Then yes, you are indeed screwed. Sorry for your misfortune.

Pretty much. If you have one working button then you could use an app called "button remapper"
Have you flashed back to stock/something different yet? Seems a touch coincidental that they all go at once. The bottom 5, or the two volume yea, cos they're on two separate input busses, but for both to fail together... not saying it couldn't happen, just saying it could be something else.
If there not working how do you turn on your phone?
When I slide the battery into the phone it automatically boots up as if I pushed in the power button.. it never used to do that before.
And also right after it powers up it sends me straight to slide to shut down which kind of makes me believe I may have the power button stuck on or something? I'm going to try to flash the stock rom and see what happens. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks!
Dude!! Proximity Screen Off (look in Abdroid Themes and Apps sub-forum) could fix you up in combination with button savior !
It has an option to use the prox sensor to put your phone to sleep and to wake it. The downside is it will drain your battery faster than normal because the prox sensor is in use when the screen's off. But it could keep your phone useable til you can get your buttons fixed (probly just your power button is malfunctioning it sounds like to me)

Thanks a ton Huggs. I'll definitely look into it, as the main reason I love this phone is for Android roms!
So far i've had good luck with this Winmo 6.5 app. I had to revert to the base/stock Tmo rom and it works okay.

[RANT]The worst thing about the Atrix

I cannot stand the fingerprint sensor/power/lock button. Just because, it's ridiculously placed. If it were on either side - fine, that's good, I don't have to hold my phone like a tennis ball.
The placement isn't the main reason I hate the thing, though.. I have two more reasons - reasons which may be resolvable (input appreciated in that department )
1. When you try to unlock the phone, the backlight comes on, but no display.. Have to lock and unlock again. Also happens when ending calls sometimes. - multiple ROMs.
2. ABSOLUTE WORST THING IN THE WORLD - makes me want to inject battery acid in to my eyeballs - fingerprint sensor navigation (as seen in cm7/cm9) - WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY DOES THIS EXIST? Not only will it be randomly navigating the screen whenever a finger goes near it, but every time you want to lock the screen - you first have to see an ugly yellow selection indicator fly across the screen.
The good thing about fingerprint sensor navigation is that you can disable it. The bad thing about fingerprint sensor navigation is that its settings in jokersax11's CM9 are seemingly unavailable.
"com.authentec.Truesuitemobile has stopped working."
I guess this is just me ranting. It is rather annoying, because the CM9 mod in question is rather cool, and I'd love to use it, but I can't ignore that annoying fingerprint sensor navigation.

I think there are mods around that can make you use the volume button as unlock button, also you can try other lockscreen app that can simulate this also.
1. I have no issue with this. Have tried many ROMs.
2. I think disabling the navigation should not make any problem, somethings must be wrong with your setup. But I have only used CM7, haven't try CM9 yet so not sure if CM9 behave differently with this disabling fingerprint navigation.

The problem with using the volume keys to unlock is that I use my phone as an mp3 player, and actually use the volume controls while the phone is locked in my pocket - though I have tried it, and I don't have the issue with the screen not waking properly when I do. ;x
Here's a thought
If u don't like it that much get an Atrix 2. Not trying to be a **** but it's a thought.
The rest of the phone is great, though.
& the Atrix 4G seems to outperform the Atrix 2, so I don't think that'd be the phone I'd consider, if I were to make a change. ;o
I have no problem with the placement of the fingerprintreader/unlockbutton and i have absolutly normal hands.
But the problem with the fingerprintnavigation can be solved easily.
Just go to setting-device settings- fingerprint sensor navigation and change "NAV Enable" to disable.
And after a restart your problem is solved.
But in the moment this is only possible with CM 7 , in CM 9 you can't disable it in the moment.
I'm pretty sure you can set the volume buttons to adjust the volume and have it as the "wake" key. What would happen is you would have to press the volume button once and then you can adjust the volume while it's still on the "lockscreen". Then after you get to the volume you want the lockscreen will shut off after about 3 seconds. You would still have to "slide to unlock" to completely "wake" the phone up.

Yeah, that's what's bothering me, haha.
CM9 is looking fantastic, had a play around with it last night, but that fingerprint sensor nav is an absolute deal breaker.
Have you never attempted to look at your phone whilst laying down, gone to unlock it, and have it drop on your face? I really find the button placement awkward. Maybe that's just me. Haha.

Ah, I also forgot to mention that I use the volume keys for track skipping (hold) - I thought I read somewhere that enabling volume key unlock would disable the track skipping function.
I just noticed you mention using CM9 so my experience is off of CM7 but I think the "volume unlock" and "track skipping" can be enabled at the same time, which is why it requires a "hold". But, again, it could be a different story on CM9 (as of now anyways, while it's in alpha).

I like the finger-print sensor and placement of the button....
What do you like about the fingerprint sensor?
I see it as being a little bit pointless on a *TOUCHSCREEN* phone..
Obviously, these are just my opinions, and everybody has their own.

I always looked at it as a thing to show your friends. But then the excitement goes away pretty fast after that. Sorta a dumb bell/whistle

Just want to clarify - I'm not talking about the fingerprint unlock function - that's pretty cool.
Regardless, the sensor nav. should definitely be an optional extra (flashable .zip).
Whoever decided it needed to be included in every single CM release needs to go back in time and decide differently, lol.

Oh I agree. The way I hold my phone causes alot of accidental navigation.

Not currently possible in CM9.
Also, it shouldn't be something you have to turn off. As I said before, I think it makes much more sense for it to be a flashable extra.
Weird. I disabled that navigation in CM9. Try entering the menu in landscape. If it force closes, keep trying!

What CM9 release are you running? I've tried the latest from jokersax & turl, and I can't get it off in either lol
I am still on cm7 but on cm9 does the fingerprint sensor not work?

Strange Volume Bar behaviour since Android 6.0 Update

Like you see in my screenshots attached, the volume bar will not dissapear after I changed the volume, I need to tap somewhere on the screen and just after this the bar dissapears.
If I watch a YT Video and just want to change the volume I need to tap on the screen afterwards. It is just in my case or a Moto X Style (Pure) problem?
I asked some guys who run stock 6.0 on a Nexus device and they so not see this behaviour, thier volume bar dissapears on its own after the change is made.
It works fine for me, slider disappears really quick.
Upgraded to 6.0 yesterday.

I did a factory reset some time ago, had other issues, bud it didn't go away.
I should say I'm runnign TruPure 2.2 with xposed+ gravitybox and some other modules.
Are you guys running stock MM?

TruPureX 2.2 with Xposed , GravityBox and some more
Mine goes away but it takes forever, like 30 seconds. Figured it was a feature too since previous versions it was actually too quick.
Tried disabling xposed modules?
Sent from my Moto XPE
So I disabled gravitybox, restarted the phone and the volume bar was still there for over 10 sec.
So it's not GB that causing the issue.
Just checked,
It does disappear after 20 seconds

Sometimes it doesn't disappear itself. It disappears touching somewhere on the screen. I am okay to live with it. However it is not happening very often. It doesn't stay on the screen persistently.
I did a factory reset now, and it is stil the same way, I have a stock MXS.
I do not think it is a feature because on Nexus Phones it just works fine, and who the hell needs this bar longer then 2-3 sec, or is somebody changing volume this way?
€: since when do a wipe data delete the internal storage? -.-

IF YOU TOUCH THE SCREEN yes, so otherwise it is there for a way to long time.
This seems to be a bug because I have never seen any other phone behave like this and even on stock Marshmallow it doesn't work this way.

You are right!
But what does it do? I deactivated it and I'm still able to use my wake up phrase and do all the stuff
Alright,
For the people who use the gravitybox.
Go to accessibility, disable moto voice.
Go to gravitybox, media tweaks, volume panel timeout and set your time.
It works for me, I hope it works for you guys as well.
