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.

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 noticed when my phone gets to about 20% battery left my hard key backlights turn off and on every 5 to 10 seconds. Is this normal?

They turn on and off according to the same sensor that controls auto brightness, maybe it is the ambient light.

Not really sure how to answer your question, however, I usually turn off my hard button backlights toggling Screen Filter on and off. There is a setting in there to not turn off the backlights if you'd like. Using the widget as well as the shortcut allows me to have different brightness levels, and the ability to choose whether I want to backlights on or off (I prefer off.)
They do seem to turn on after a while somehow.
Hi I have a problem with my Desire S. Recently got update now I when I receive a text or call when it next sleeps it will not wake when I press the power button.
If I pull the battery out it reboots fine and if I plug in the power cable it wakes up but not from the power button and its not exactly easy to just quickly slip the battery out of this thing.
I've done a hard reset (volume power button thing) but the problems still there has anyone any ideas for a fix.
Wondering about how to go back to last version is it possible?
You should be aware that it's extremely risky removing the battery from a running phone, there is a real chance that you'll damage the phone permanently
Sounds like your power button could be damaged, some roms enable the phone to be woodmen up using volume button, the one I'm on, see sig

This problem occurs frequently endymion 3.4 after call or even if the call was not successful. It seems the problem is with proximity sensor. When I swipe my finger over sensor or show light over sensor area it wakes up but not always.I do not face this problem with other aosp ROM.
Left field, do you gave a screen protector? This can effect they proximity sensor

A friend of mine had this problem. Turns out the proximity sensor was broken

Try this to test the proximity sensor? ...

Dear xda community,
Since I received my Nexus 5 more than a week ago I am experiencing something which keeps me thinking.
Sometimes when I want to pick up my phone to check something, the screen will wake up without me touching any buttons. Is this supposed to happen?
What's happening quite often because of that is: I want to pick up my phone -> grabbing it -> screen awakes -> but since I am pushing the power button myself half a second later -> screen turns dark again. This is a little annoying from time to time...
I tried to recreate this incident but it just happens every ~30th time.While doing this I keep attention not to hit a button accidentally.
Any Ideas whats going on? Bug or feature? Are you experiencing something similar?
Thank you and best regards!
Same thing happening with my Nexus 5. Screen opens on picking it up. It happens on randomly.
I cannot see any pattern though.
Could be a faulty power button switch? Making a connection under the movement?

It will wake up if the surface you put it on has a magnet in or near it. It's the hall effect sensor that does this, used for a cases that wake up the device when opened

Are you using a Custom rom?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
There are some custom ROM/Kernel combo's which give the option to wake the phone by double tapping the screen. However this isn't present in stock. As some have already said the phone will wake if placed near a magnet, if I put my N5 on top my iPad it wakes when I pick it up. If none of these apply its probably faulty.
Hi, I have a Samsung Infuse that I have set up with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=name.kunes.android.launcher.activity&hl=en for my elderly Mom who has trouble with overly technical things.
Anyways, I flash CyanogenMOD as the sub ROM.
I'm wondering, have there been any advancements in the capacitive button backlighting lately? Last time I refreshed her phone, it was still only working with the stupidness where the always-on mod worked, but the lights would not turn on until you pressed a button first. Then the light would come on and stay on until the phone was put back to sleep again.
I hate this, she hates this. Has this mod been improved lately?
As far as cyanogemod goes, only cm10.2 has duration control for the backlight on the capacitive buttons. Cm11 will have a button section on the next build whenever that will make it out.

Thanks. But does it work the way I'm asking about? Such as the moment you bring the phone out of sleep, the capacitive buttons light up immediately. Without you needing to touch the buttons first.
And then stay on until phone is turned off again.
Anyone?!
