Home/menu/back/search buttons rarely backlit - Thunderbolt General

My buttons are rarely backlit...any ideas? Anyone else have this? Its been that way on stock and cyanogen pre-releases.

Its been an issue for me with the CM7 pre-releases. You sure they're acting funky with the stock rom?

They seem to work at times then don't work for awhile, regardless of rom. Right now they are working, earlier not so much.

Mine are working fine on virusrom .. not at all on CM7 pre release though

it works, it just has to be very dark.. this is done to save battery, but try covering the proximity sensor... i thought mine broke too

Yeah I am noticing that it has to basically have no light, needs adjusted a little or needs manual adjustment method

i don't seem to have any issues with the backlights on those buttons with ThunderKANGs CM7...

Even when I cover them in the CM7 re-alpha, they still don;t light up. Doesn't matter to me, just confirming it.

Nexus S 4G: Button Backlight Control

Im wondering if anyone had found a way to disable the capacitive button backlighting similar to the way ledhacks works on the evo.
When I am in low light conditions, the buttons actually end up being brighter than my settings in aldiko.
I have tried a few apps off the market, but nothing seems to be working.

How to turn off the button lights?

Does anyone know of an app or a setting to control the touch button lights at the bottom of the screen?
i tried searching for a solution but found none.
I like reading off of the kindle app at night and with 22% brightness and white text on a black background, the result is a perfect experience -- except for the four blinding leds every time I turn the page...
This might also be helpful for those with issues during streaming video (i.e. Netflix).
I apologize in advance if this has been dealt with/is in the wrong place.

That is a very good question and I have the same problem while reading on my phone. I'm going to try and do some research to see if I can come up with a solution.
Try this. I don't know if it works or not yet

Install BLN control and check Activate Notifications. The lights will only stay on for a few seconds after you touch the screen/buttons.
Thanks for trying guys. I want to completely disable those bad boys. I know where they are. Don't need a searchlight!

Well you can't disable them. Not even the stock roms let you do that, the best bet is for them to only blink, which is they turn on when you're using them.
Some black tape works lol

Would the touchscreen still work with black/electrical tape? That makes me wonder, but I am lazy and have none on hand to test out.

Keyboards on cyanogen

I'm loving CM7 so far and the only thing I've noticed is that the the touchscreen is a little off. I have tried 3 keyboards and my accuracy is way off compared to a froyo rom. Buttons on the bottom like space sometimes don't register in portrait orientation. Anyone else notice this?

Same happens to me. I noticed it because it makes me so mad. Sometimes I miss the key. I don't remember the stock keyboard but I feel like the one on cm7 doesn't reach all the way down to the bottom

Why does the G2x show the previous screen before the lock screen?

no, i am not new here, just had to change username.
yes, i have check EVERYWHERE for a solution to this problem.
Basically my g2x will show the previous screen i was o before it will show the lock patter screen. Say im on the facebook, and i lock my device, if i come back to it and unlock the device, for like 2 seconds it will show what ever page i was on last on facebook THEN go to the lock pattern screen.
is there anyway to fix this?
My Device:
G2x
gingerbread 2.3
not rooted (4 days old)
Came stocked with gingerbread 2.3
has being doing this since unboxed
Haven't had this issue since moving over to CM7...
Known issue no fix, other than trying a different rom. What really sux if you tap before the lockscreen comes up you fan bypass the lockscreen. Doesn't always work.I'm still on froyo, gb ....not impressed.
meh...
Haven't had this problem on weapon g2x. I have with stock though.
Happens to me too.
Stock Gingerbread Rom.

What version of Weapon are you running?
Happens to me all the time
I've been wondering the same thing

Its because the lockscreen is an app and sometimes it lags to start up when you unlock your phone.
I thought it was part of the phones software.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I think it is because the GPU is turned off to save battery and the graphics ram is not being updated. The lag is the GPU starting back up. That screen is like a ghost image. I don't believe anyone who says they can click on an icon before the lockscreen comes up and bypass it. I would have to see a video to believe that.
Happens to me too. EB 1.07. Also, sometimes when I press the power button the lockscreen is bypassed. This happens once in a while.

Weapon 2.7 seems to have fixed the issue. It drove me crazy on stock and EB.
Any newer rom from development I don't experience this problem

[Q] Touch Screen Response Issue

Im running Glorious Overdose V2 but I had this issue with other roms as well for some reason my touchscreen sometimes doesnt respond. In order for it to start working again I have to lock and unlock my phone sometimes it happens frequently and other times it doesnt. Any tips on how to fix this issue?
Sorry no tips on how to fix, but I'm running stock and it happens to me too. I though it might have to do with my crappy screen protector or me somehow messing with the optical trackball, but it seems not since you're experiencing the same issue.

I have this issue, too...
...can confirm it happens on stock and custom roms.

Nope
I tried the app and it didn't help at all and sometimes my phone also starts randomly selecting as if I touched it.
Its a hardware problem. Samsung claims its a software problem but I doubt it. It happens to me all the time and I've posted threads about it as well.
What I have found is that any sweat or liquid on your fingers that gets left behind on the screen causes it to act sporadically. All you can do is constantly clean your screen when the phone is locked.

i have this problem, but i have noticed its only after iv gotten my hands wet. i kinda figured it was 1$ screen protector.
My screen would do the same thing until i bought one of the sk screen protectors. Haven't had that problem since.
