Leds hack does not work on the nexus s, is there any alternative?
i would like this too. I put my phone in clock mode most nights and leave it on my night stand. The screen dims very nicely and looks great except for the 4 buttons on the bottom stay bright white!
This would be a nice thing to have. i need to look in the services.jar to see if anything can be edited to accomplish this task.
With my rom and kernel combo the backlights don't come on until pressed when turning the screen on.

Is there an easy way we can implement this mod? I think it would look better having the lights off - giving it more of a complete black slate look.

I've seen people trying to disable the bottom button backlight, but nothing about enabling it. I just got my Charge today in the mail. Powered up, no button backlight. Connected USB, no button backlight. Under what conditions are those buttons supposed to light up?
Try putting your finger over the proximity sensor. My light only turns on when it's dark.

Good call. That's certainly annoying - I turned off the auto brightness and it still does that. No me likey.

hey all I just picked up the sensation and got a dock for it. The issue I am having is at night I use the dock mode dim the screen but the backlights for the 4 captive buttons do not turn off and it is way to bright when sleeping. Does anyone know of a way to turn off the backlight or a program that can disable it. Seems kinda dumb of htc to include a dock mode for night time and neglect to turn the bright backlight off.
I use screen filter to shut off the capacitive button's lights while I read

Do you have the auto brightness turned on? that could be the problem.

Hey guys I just got a nexus S and there is no charging indicator light? In addition I'm using the 3.16 speedy any kernel with stock rom which is compatible with voodoo. I go into NStools, I enable touch wake -- I'm assuming its like trackball wake on the Nexus one but when my phone is sleeping I've touched the soft keys but it won't wake up. I'm doing all this so as not to wear out my power button.

The Nexus S has no LED light like lots of other phones.

Touchwake is not quite the same as trackball wake with the Nexus One. Touchwake is only active when the screen turns itself off automatically (i.e. when you DON'T press the power button yourself). Also, after the screen turns itself off, touchwake is only active for a small time frame. I believe the default is 45 seconds (this can be changed). After this time period you will have to use the power button to wake.
Also, touchwake applies for the entire screen as well, not just the soft keys at the bottom.

So I am studying and taking notes on papyrus when all of a sudden screen goes black.
And it's not like it went to sleep mode because if I hit the power button it makes a sound but does not turn the screen back on.
When I click the second time it turns the screen on, as if I turned the screen off and on while it was black screen.
Has anyone experienced this?
So far I have had this only happen while taking notes on Papyrus, I have 30min set to turn of screen and this happens during my note taking...
Also I am using GMOD SPen, to turns of capacitive sensor. -Maybe it could be the problem?
The only input I can provide is that under the same circumstances as you, ( GMD to turn off capacitive touch) and using papyrus, I had no such issues.
Something I feel I should share though, is that the spen latency is greatly decreased in papyrus on a custom ROM such as baked#8 but you lose the Samsung features.
Just my 0.02

What about Android Revolution HD 5.1?
I was having serious latency problems earlier but that was due to 2d gpu acceleration.
Once I disabled that I still see some lag, but it's much more tolerable.
Should I try the rom you mentioned, is the latency really that good?
So far, the least latency I've seen was with software called "write" although it has a lot of useful features Papyrus is still my favorite.

Well, if you are comfortable with taking a cwm/twrp backup the you can try it for yourself
I noticed a great deal of difference personally.

I've actually had the exact same issue, although I use LectureNotes: I can be taking notes from anywhere between 2 minutes and 30 when the screen suddenly goes dark (but not off). Pressing the power button turns the screen off and another power button press brings you back to you note-taking app.
I thought this was an issue with LectureNotes' auto-saving feature, but after seeing this thread, I'm thinking it's system-related (software or hardware).
Anyone have any insights into why the screen randomly goes dark while using the S-pen?

I have had the same thing happen to me while using " Note Anytime ".
I'm using the app and the screen goes completely black, wait 3 seconds or so and the screen comes back on.
I'm using the new B3 stock ROM.

I noticed that I am getting this while using the s-pen.
This does not apply to just papyrus, it just randomly happens.
Please let me know if I should return this to Samsung as I only have 90 day warranty on this refurbished note 10.1
Do you have auto brightness selected? I never have this problem when I use manual brightness but notice it when I use auto brightness.
I just open a topic about this before I notice this one.
I get this problem also, I had this with a few different apps.
And i use auto brightness.
I will try contacting samsung to here what there have to say

I've the same problem.. no rooted, original 4.1.2 galaxy note 10.1.
somebody said that would contact Samsung: have you any additional information?

I do have the same problem (with LectureNotes, but this is the only pen-focused app I use). Independently of auto-brightness, this should not happen. Any news from Samsung?
