[Q] CM7: Wireless off on boot - how to fix?

I searched and found nothing like this.
When I boot my Nook Color, running Cyanogenmod 7, any recent nightly, wireless is off, even though it was on before booting.
I open Notifications, tap the wireless, it turns on and works fine. I've checked, airplane mode is not on.
Updating to newer nightlies doesn't work. I'm pretty sure this used to work. My glacier doesn't have this behavior.
Any thoughts on how to fix this so the wireless state is retained over boots?

I have the same thing but I actually prefer it this way since I use it so much for reading.

I think those lately night builds have screwed up a few things such wireless OFF on boot. Another itchy part (for me) is the Terminal Emulator somehow got blue background and when "exit" command, it doesn't exit but I must force it off under Managing Applications.

Ah, thanks. I suppose I can't file a bug since it is a nightly, I'll mention it on the appropriate thread and hope.

Press the menu key, then "Reset term".

Yeap, that's another less painful way to close T.E.

Try downloading android assistant from the market and checking to see if you have airplane mode on through the app.

I had it, and got rid of it because it wasn't doing anything for me. I'm pretty sure I had checked this before *and* I have flashed several times, but I just got it and...the airplane is blue. I've got a thread on a dev thread, I'll ask about it getting fixed, clearly shouldn't be happening.

It should not be blue. Tap on it and it should turn gray. Problem solved.

Is there an actual answer for this issuer? Is this designed by the CM7 team?

It's an Android problem. Something to do with missing radios. Happens on the touchpad too.

If this post helped you don't forget to say thanks!

Definitely not a nightly problem, it's that way in the official release too.

Some smart CyanogenMod users fixed this problem. Perhaps their methods would work for you as well as they worked for me.
I guess we just have to avoid accidentally enabling airplane mode.

I actually prefer wifi off on boot as I don't need it most of the time and it just drains the battery.

[App] Power Switch - screen off by closing your case

Guys, im the developer of Power Switch, an app that switches off your tablet's screen when you shut the case.
The main thread can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277712
Ive had reports of problems with the tab's light sensor, so would appreciate some debugging feedback.
You can use the lite version to test, it has all the features, but just wont save as much juice.
Thanks in advance. Feel free to reply here or in the main thread, i read both regularly!

Do you guys not have a light sensor or something?

Yes we do. Maybe if there was some incentive to be your testers, like a free full edition, you might get some to actually be your "guinea pigs"

It works, but it will be much better if we can have a locking sound...

Oh wow, thats a great idea, never thought of it... i will definitely add this in the next release.

Almost done!

Updated, added screen locking sound

I just ordered a case, so I will gladly test this out once I receive it.

Just to let you know, I did try the full version of your app, but ultimately refunded it. It's a great concept, but just didn't work well on my A500. I don't know if our light sensor sucks or what, but the app wasn't detecting the cover being closed.

Anyone else having problems? Problems not related to not reading the instructions?

I'll try again with the Lite version, and see if I can configure it better. I did read the instructions, maybe I was just too quick to dismiss it.

I tried this on my Acer and the Acer cover, but didnt seem to work. Also tried the lite version. I did play around with the settings abit but still nothing. Sorry

Hey I have a suggestion. I apologize if this is already a feature as I did not see it in the other thread. But if you're able to trigger screen locks and sounds and such, why not also add the ability to have it turn off/on wifi and/or 3g?

Interesting... i will look into it, thanks!

Notification light

Hi Nexus 10 owners,
Love my Nexus 10 but I have an issue with the notification light under the screen.
It was working fine when I first got it on Friday, with it dimming on and off when an email is received.
But since yesterday, it hasn't light up at all, for any notifications, and I do have the "Pulse Notification Light" checked in setting.
So I was wondering if anyone else have any problems with the notification light? Could it be a bug, or perhaps my light broke after the first day?
Thanks in advance for any response.

I might suggest trying https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coolbeans.ledtester&hl=en to see if your light still works

Thanks for the suggestion.
Just tried the app and there's no light.
However, could it be that this app doesn't work on the Nexus 10 yet?

Yea it might be possible that app doesn't work; may want to see what an actual N10 owner has to report though

Works fine on my N10, only flashes white though, regardless what colour I pick.

No problem, try reflash with stock images and you might get lucky. My Nexus 10 is buggy as sh** and I put it down to 4.2. It'll all get sorted out soon enough, hopefully yours is just a bug too. Hope you solve it.

UPDATE
Just reset my N10 and now the notification light works again.:victory:
Guess it must have been one of the app interfering with the light.
BTW, when I tested it with a LED tester app, it can actually show green, red, blue and purple lights.:good:

If I understand right, he just flashed a factory 4.2 image from Google, without any OTA updates.

You can get the factory software from the Google developer site and you can download it to your nexus device in case anything gets messed up.
By "put it down to", I mean I blame 4.2 (Android version on the Nexus 10) for all the bugs I'm having. It's a new OS, and this multiuser stuff amongst others means some pretty major changes so I expect it to be a little unstable for a while. Still a better state than honeycomb was when I bought my XOOM on launch day, boy was that a mess.
You're right about the lights, I just got it to work with all the different colours, cyan and then purple look nice

UPDATE #2
The notification light is not working again
Reset my N10 again, then performed a LED light test each time I install a new app.
Until the last app installed, the notification light was working, then after a few minutes it stops working again.
So I guess it's not really caused by 3rd party apps.
So I ask again, has anyone had problem with their N10's notification light?
Still hoping that it's a bug instead of just me having a defective unit.
Thanks again!

I'm having the same issues. Sometimes the LED seems to be working, others it's not. I installed LED tester and again, sometimes it works fine and others not at all. I have tried to spot a pattern to see what causes it to stop and start and have drawn a blank - no idea. I have since installed light flow but this has not helped. Seems to me that there is either a software bug and we haven't yet figured what the trigger is, or there is a dodgy hardware batch (I hope it's the former!)

I think I've found the trigger. If I turn the device completely off, and turn it back on with the charger plugged in, notifications work. If I turn it back on with the charger unplugged, notifications do not work.
Other things I have tried which made no difference included factory reset and factory reflash.
Can some other folks see if their behavior matches mine? I have a replacement device being shipped to me, but if this is a software problem I'd rather not swap hardware. I'm very curious to hear if there are any devices that have a working LED under both boot up scenarios.

I think you are right. LED notifications were working ok when I had a freeze in google now. I restarted (on battery) and tested the notifications - no LED. I plugged in the charger, restarted the system and retested - LED working again. Looks like we have a workaround and a confirmed software bug rather than a hardware fault.

I'll test when I get home, but, I've only ever noticed the light when my tablet is plugged in, so it could be the same for me too. Shouldn't be a major problem, will get fixed in the next update as long as Google are aware.

I'm not entirely sure, there are people who are claiming that their LED works 100%.

Just tried this but still nothing.
Called Google today and they are sending me a replacement.

Ok, this is ridiculous.
Just unplugged my N10 and now the notification light is working.
So apparently it's working randomly.
Hopefully my replacement device works 100% of the time.
BTW, are replacement devices new, or refurbished?

OK Google while AOD (Screen off)

Hi there,
Is there a workaround or a root function to enable Always On listening for 'OK Google' while the screen is off/AOD?
It is really bugging me but I cannot see a workaround already posted.
Thanks!

I have that setting enabled. It works on the lock screen where you can swipe to unlock, but not on the darker lock screen, where it shows the time and the outline of your notifications.

I have enabled them options. It works on the light lockscreen, where you can scroll your notifications and have the 2 icons in the bottom corners.
It does not work on the darker lock screen, or the Always On Display screen, where it only shows the time and the outline of notifications you have.

Works here as it should. With AOD and without. Are you rooted? If you are try other ROM. If you are not, try reflashing stock firmware with Odin or with Side Sync or whatever Samsung kies is now called.

Same for me Dan, works after you swipe but not from AOD, every tutorial I have seen says the same, has to be "open" before it will work.
Bixby will unlock from the AOD screen if you set that up, hope that helps

It works for you because you are using a Note 8 ported ROM. Because Samsung enabled this feature on the Note 8. It will not currently work on the stock S8 ROM. Some people seem to be in a server side test to enable this feature though.

Okay, I see.
Does charging not stop at 80% for you because you are rooted?

It was working for me on Bat Stock ROM and it is S8 ROM. I never used stock ROM so I can't say anything about that, I rooted my device and flashed custom ROM before even setting it up after unboxing.

Same here works after you swipe but not from AOD, every time tutorial I have seen says the same has to be "open" before it will work.

It's best to think of the always-on display as "Screen Off", which is why OK Google doesn't work on stock ROM. That's standard Android procedure to avoid draining the battery by always listening for voice commands.
At one point, Google Assistant was able to listen when the screen was off, so long as the phone was being charged. Unfortunately, that feature disappeared at some point in the past half year or so (which caused me some confusion when it stopped working and I could no longer find the toggle).

That's not true. It still works on a Google Pixel running stock Android with the screen off and not charging. You never had to have it plugged in or charging for that to work. Samsung is the ONLY Android phone I know of that OK Google doesn't work with the screen off.

Disable Charging LED, Possible?

Things ive tried:
1.Ive tried Xposed Modules for disabling it on other Huawei phones it did not work.
2. In root directory went to sys/devices/gpio leds /red & green or something like that. I changed the values to 0 for both and it disables it temporarily until unplugged & back in. (Its a pain to do this everytime,)
3. Light manager & light flow. Neither work.
Madvane anybody help plz. I use my device in the dark often.

Also the Red charging LED is considerably more bright thsn the green LED. Making it a real pain using when charging. Its brighter than the screen.

Have you tried Xposed GravityBox module?
It can disable charge LED on my Huawei Ascend Mate 2 which is running LineageOS/Nougat, so maybe worth a try to see if it works on the XT .

Just tried Gravity box. None of its features work AFAIK. I tried different features no avail. im stock B180 from madvane then i flashed magisk myself. Oh well.

This issue has come up before, but never resolved for XT as far as I can recall.

Pigs might fly before you see a custom ROM for the XT since Huawei won't release source code for the phone other than the bare minimum requirement by Google for Huaweis usage of Android.
Maybe cover the LED with black tape or don't use it at night when charging the phone .

No i know another way of disabling it temporarily. Until i unplug and plug back in. So i use that way.

If a config file edit works, just spitballing here... perhaps using tasker, automagic (my personal fav), macrodroid, or another similar app to edit the file upon being plugged in would work. There's several file manipulation plugins for tasker (which also work on automagic, macrodroid, locale, and others), and if all else fails you can use command line.
It's a little more involved, but I can't imagine any reason it wouldn't work. .
