Light & Buttons - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Now i have two defys (a normal and a plus) upgraded to JB CM10.1, and noticed:
1. Defy+: Keys HOME and SEARCH are a bit dark, RETURN is off. maybe damaged?
2. Defy: same issue
At reboot, all keys are flashing normal, no difference, strong light.
So it has something to do with CM 10.1
Does someone have more information, same experience, more ideas?
Thanks

Have you made a factory reset before flashing?
You could also try to manually adjust the hardware button lights to maximum. Go to Settings -> Advanced -> Button-Brightness

sure

Problem with baclight going off...

Hi.
Got my TouchHD had it for awhile now, however i have recently noticed...
I have the setting Ticked for;
Turn off backlight if device is not used for - 30seconds.
Turn off device if not used for - 2minutes.
So, after waiting 30seconds the backlight will go out, should i touch the screen, remove the stylus.... the screen will stay dim unless 1 of 2 things are done:
Turn device off then back on OR;
Goto Settings > Power > Backlight > Then make a adjustment to the slider.
This is rather annoying now.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Yeah, it's either designed this way or its a bug.
I got very used to tapping the power button with this device. Its now a habit to control the back light. I hate iPhone comparisons, but I did this on the iPhone as a habit to save battery. Definitely, not the same issue on the HD with its amazing battery life.

Automatic key lock

Hello, everybody
When I press and hold down the "hang up" key, my phone goes in lock mode. That's great. But is there someway to get the phone to do this automaticly? For example after 30 sec or so. I've not found any solutions here in this forum.
I know there is some 3rd part program that can fix this, but I have read that there is some issues with these programs, so I really hope that I can manage to do this without any 3rd part programs.
I will be very happy if someone could help me with this issue
(I'm terribly sorry for my bad english)
Go to Start > Settings > tab Advanced.
There, just set the options you want. Basicly, when it turns off the display at the times you set, the phone also locks.
(actually, it only locks when the 2nd option is activated, which is something like "Turn off device when not used for...". It's not really turned Off, the Display just goes off, and the phone gets locked).

Thanks for quick answer.
Actually there is no tab Advanced when I go to Settings. I have three tabs in Settings, it's in norwegian, but I can try to transelate it to english: Personal - System - Connections. I can't find any of the options you mentioned in your post.
I also like to be more precise with my problem: My display turnes of after some sec, but that not the same as the key lock-function I want. When I press and hold my "hang up"- key I have to press "Unlock" in the down right corner and then I have to confirm it in the middle of the screen afterwards to unlock it. I want my phone to automatically lock after some time not only turn of the screen.
When I have my phone in the pocket I often accidentaly turn on the screen with the power button and the phone starts to call someone. That won't happen with the key lock activated.
Hmm, well, for me, when the Screen turns Off, it Auto-locks the phone. So what you want. This is with the Default HTC Rom.
I wrote the location wrong, it is:
Start > Settings > tab System > Energy > tab Advanced.
Edit 2: Ok, now I realised why this is working for me. I used HD Tweak to change something.
With what I did, I have *exactly* what you want: Device goes off after x seconds, and then locks.
1) I used HD Tweak (from this forum)
2) There go to: 4) Lock > 4.1 AutoLock
3) Turn that on.
4) Go back to this: Start > Settings > tab System > Energy > tab Advanced.
5) There turn OFF the 1st Option (which dims it to half screen brightness, but it's buggy with the option I mentioned at 2), HD Tweak Warns for it. So by turning off this option, you work around that bug)
6) Turn on the 2nd Option (Turn off Device after X time) (which actually means turn off Screen...)
Now, what this does in my case is:
1) After 1 Minute my Screen goess Off because of the setting under Start > Settings > tab System > Energy > tab Advanced.
2) Because of the HD Tweak, it locks the keypad.
So thats what you want.
Thank you very much, Seven_PRX! Your instructions worked perfectly, and just the way I wanted

With this solution, I had problem when the screen dims : the screen locks itself too. So, I needed to unlock it, but the screen doesn't light up no more. I had to switch my phone ON then OFF to have the full brightness back. But maybe it was a bug with my install...
But now, I use VJDeviceLock with its "VJDeviceLockInstall" that lock the phone when I switch it ON. If you have the problem I had, it might be the solution

That's why I don't have this problem you mentioned
Yep, I saw that just after posting my comment
But I like to have the light to dim to warn me that the screen is going off... So I thought I could give you another way to have an "autolock" function
Btw, a quick way to unlock your phone & turn the screen on is simply by taking out your stylus (this unlocks the phone & turns the display on). It's quicker than pressing the On button and then Pressing "unlock" twice.

Backlight Issue

I have recently had to hard reset my phone and for some reason the backlight only stays on for a matter of seconds. Can someone point me in the right direction of increasing this please. I do have Xperia Tweak installed and can't see the setting on that either.
Cheers
Try settings, system, power, advanced and then change the time out for backlight there...
remove HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\ACTimeout & BatteryTimeout
Soft Reset

I have tried this, but there is no save or apply button so when I check back it has returned to 10 seconds...

What does this do make the backlight never turn off?

No This remove your 10secs problem... After restart enter in your backlight settings & set correct values.

hmm thats odd as when I change the setting and then tap ok in the top right corner it saves it for me and retains the setting no problem...
I think it has managed to save the settings now... Cheers

[Q] CM7 Nightly #71 - Input buttons not glowing

I have flashed CM7 Nightly #71. Post flash the Input buttons on the phone stopped glowing. Reboot does not help. Even boot time the input buttons are not initialised.
Any solution ?
Edit : Well played with Display setting -- With Screen brightness set to auto mode, input buttons behave normally, but take a while to glow once you unlock the screen. Well I am using brighness widget button in the power widget to change the brightness.
Edit : Well after playing multiple time now it behave normally across all brightness settings in the widget. I shall trying reboot and check if it initialises during boot time and post reboot behavior.
Edit : Input button don't initialise during boot. 25-30% brightness setting when changed to Auto brightness, Input buttons started glowing normally.
Is this a bug or input button are supposed to behave in this fashion ?
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,5239
That commit messed it all up.
It remains lit for me all the time - but, your comment on the commit explains it all.
I am on #83 with new kernal flashed. Input button issue still remains. It does not come on for some settings while toggling battery settings in power widget notification.
I have installed miui camera from kevin2516. Sometimes camera sound goes after clicking few times. Along with camera sound, all sounds of the phone go off even calls. Only reboot resolves this?
Any solutions please?
The Sound Off issue is a known bug. It was *probably* solved in CM7 Stable versions, not sure though.
Move from #71 to #83 feel voice clarity during the call is reduced inspite of 4 bar full signal indication.
Feedback ---- #83 with new kernel, miui camera error with complete sound off couple if times

[Q] [p700] Paranoid buttons always on

Hello
since yesterday front buttons of my p700 with Paranoid 4.44 are always on. I updated to Paranoid 4.45, but still light on.
Please help.
Hi !
If what you mean by front button is softkey (the back and menu button), you can disable or decrease the light time in Settings > Buttons (I forgot if PA have this or not).
Yes, I mean softkeys. PA has this setting, but doesn't work any more

Try disabling the light first, then enable it again.
Tried. Nothing changed.
