BUTTON BACKLIGHT KEYS NOT WORKING WITH VoidU S v1.1a [Android 2.3.5 :: Sense 3.0]

As the title suggests i have got a problem with the new rom VoidU S v1.1a [Android 2.3.5 :: Sense 3.0]
The backlight for the 4 touch keys will never turn on! not even in a dark room or when i cover the sensor. The main screen backlight responds just fine to dark conditions and covering the sensor.
I only have this problem on this particular rom, as do quite a few other people. But the majority of people running the rom dont seem to have this??
This is becoming increasingly fustrating as no1 seems to know why some have this issue while others don't
If any1 has any fixes or can point me in the direction of a flashable patch to help sort out some problem files maybe?
also.... the backinghts themselves deffinatly work as they come on when the phone is booting up and always work in conjunction with the sensor with every other rom ive tried!
thanks in advance guys!

Same here, if it's pitch black they work fine, but in low light levels (like where you can't see the keys without the backlight), nothing....hopefully there will be a fix soon....

It's the same for me, but as far as I noticed this is supposed to be so with VoidU. I think It's meant to save battery.
Don't you guys know it by heart where the buttons are already?

Yeh I actually noticed that my mates sensation buttons (stock rom) are more sensitive than mine.
His light up in a low level light room, but mine only in a darker room

surely someone can make a patch for adjusting the sensitivity???

I guess they could! Myself, I'm not to bothered about this, as it means that I can save more battery if the backlights stay off!
Because tbh I know where the buttons are , and I can usually make them out in a dark room with little.light
But in a pitch black room it is difficult to see them, but the backlights come on here. So all is well for me!

[Q] Shift charge light issues

I have been searching for a couple days with no luck. My girlfriends shift is rooted and we have tried installing both synergy rls1 and currently mikshifted. The odd thing is that with both roms her charge light will come on solid as if plugged in ans wont turn off until the phone is reset. Once reset she can go about 10 minutes before it comes back on. It wouldnt be so bad if it didnt kill her notification led and more importantly kill her battery life. It dowsnt do the thing with the led on cm7 but she loves sense and doesnt want ro be without it. Any and all help is appreciated.

Not really a solution buy have you tried using supreme sense? It doesn't seem like a rom issue but who knows. If it doesn't work try unrooting and re-rooting.

What your seeing is a kb light bug and it came about when the cyanogen code was injected into Sense, the cool crt screen on and off animation, all you have to do to clear it is after you shut your keyboard just touch the status bar....or Supreme Sense i have the crt removed so no one has that bug, also i have a flashable made and posted on themikmik.com for users of MikShifted-G to remove the crt and kill that bug!

Here the link for No CRT = NO LIGHT BUG .

Thanks all around, we tried out the supreme sense (she didnt like the 3d) but the no crt flash worked perfectly. I love these forums, although i only tend to lurk, there are always people willing to help.

[Q]does skyrocket have led notification?

Does this phone have led notification thinking of buying tomorrow, and notification would be nice.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

Just use NOLED.

I can confirm NoLED works great on the skyrocket.

wow seriously? do ANY phones do RGB led notifications anymore? I was going to return my HTC vivid because of the bootloader bit, and came over here to check out the skyrocket. But LED notification is a must have.

motorola has a broad spectrum of colors on their LED notifications. i loved LightFlow on my atrix/atrix2. every notification had a different color

Yeah it seems Sammy has moved away from this lil feature. Its not there on the SR or the Infuse last I checked.

I actually went away from NO-LED. Works great but I hated having to click the home button and than swiping the screen.
On my original GS I used some custom ROM's and most of them included the ability light up the buttons on the bottom of the phone if there was a notification. I am not interested in using custom ROM's on this phone but I wonder if there is a way to do the same on a stock ROM?

Doubt it, would be nice though. I miss having a notification indicator.

I use blinky for notifications. It's not an LED light but lights up the capacitive buttons when I have something waiting.
I'm on a stock rom, but rooted and run da_G kernel. I don't know if it'd work without the custom kernel.

From what I understand it won't work without a kernel that supports it. So I also rooted and installed da_G's kernel. Than installed BLN from the market. Loving my notifications lights.

Touch Key Lights

Anyone know how to make them brighter?
Does not seem to be automatic??
I tried the market app called LG Optimus 2X Touch Key Lights, it works however it gets dimmer when i shut off the screen and turn it back on?
Anyway to make the touch buttons brighter?

Wrong section. Move to Q&A.

Thread moved to proper forum.

Try https://market.android.com/details?...JqZXNzb24ubzJ4dG91Y2hsZWRub3RpZmljYXRpb25zIl0.
That one works great for me.

I'm looking for an app/ setting that keeps the touch keys lit up while the screen is on. Has anyone found one? (I'm running CM7.)

Touch Key Lights version 1.3 works great for me, depending on the rom and kernel. It does not seem to play nice with Miui or Faux kernels. It has worked as intended on every 2.3.3 rom for me.

No idea why, but my light keeps returning to like 10%, 2/20..

If you're using CyanogenMod then the touch brightness will be linked to display brightness I believe.

Softkeys always lit

Hello,
I have had a UK Vodafone Sensation for about a year and decided to get one that had been rooted to play with. I got it off ebay. It was really really good other than battery life ,,,, and then I spotted that the softkeys (the four buttons at the bottom of the phone) are permanently on ... unless I turn the phone right off.
When the phone arrived it had 4EXT with ICE and Sense and it was only come the evening of the second day I spotted why battery life was not good!! I tried various thing - Screen Filter, Juice Defender and other bits and pieces and then saw the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM and decided I'd start from scratch .. well almost. I'd also noticed that it said the phone type was Sensation XE.
I replaced 4EXT with CWM and flashed the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM. All went according to plan considering I'm a 63 year old noobie!! Well OK until I saw the softkeys were still illuminated all the time unless I turned the phone off. I'd got my apps and contacts on the SD card and installed the purchased version of APEX Pro that I'd been using on my non rooted phone. No amount of changes to anything I can thikn of turns them off ... but my phone does now say it's a SENSATION rather than a SENSATION XE.
I've run the battery flat and started afresh with it newly charged which has increased battery life but with these darn softkeys lit up it will never be good..
I have thought of taking it into a shop where they mainly deal with smashed screens all day long and see if it is possible to have the led backlight for the softkeys removed. I've looked at any amount of youtube videos and they all stop short of showing me the bit I want to see!! If the keys don't work afterwards its no drama as I can put 'Navigation' keys at the bottom of the screen from the ROM.
Any ideas anybody?? Your help and advice will be much appreciated.
Phil

look here ..bit difficult ..but it might solve your issue

Hi Ganeshp. I tired to install gscript lite when I was running ICS. I managed it this time by reading what it actually said to do!!! lol.
Unfortunately even though it seemed to install ok and I ran the scripts ok it wouldn't actually get fully running before saying it had stopped. It seems other had had a similar experience. I tried various reboots etc and it still wouldn't run which is a shame as it really looked like it was the answer.
Thanks again but unfortunately I'm still looking for an answser,
Phil

Would it have anything to do with kernel setup? Just a thought. I don't know enough to actually advise you, but your led issue may be linked to the kernel.

some roms have the option built in to disable the capacitive buttons backlight, by using tweaks. ViperS rom has it built in, or you could download LeeDroid/Darkforest tweaks in the dev section. theres an option in the tweaks to disable the backlight. give that a shot before having someone look at it

Hello and thanks for the last two replies, I'll check out LeeDroid Darkforest tweak and it would be good is somebody could describe the Tasker method in this topic, We're off on holiday for 3 weeks tomorrow and will be taking my old faithful Nokia N95 so if this isn't sorted by tmw I'll go back to it when I get back.

I've been trying a couple of things from elsewhere on this site and still no joy. Tried tasker and rootdim but still no joy.
I couldn't see how to download LeeDroid/Darkforest tweaks ... only saw the option to flash a new rom and I don't really want to do that. If I could download just the tweaks I'd be willing to try that but not the full package.
Tks again for your help ... holiday tomorrow and I think I'll have to leave this until after I come back.

LeeDroid tweaks and Darkforest tweaks are both for Sense 3.6 roms. ViperS is Sense 4 so these wouldnt work with that rom, but tweaks are already built in to it
LeeDroid= 3.32 base firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24535142&postcount=5
Darkforest= 3.33 base firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30132538&postcount=5

Can't you just do that by going into android settings and setting the backlight duration to never. OR You can install Total screen control from Android market. Go onto settings> softkeys backlight and click disable backlight. Then you have to select a screen filter value at which to disable softkeys backlight eg. 50% value. Your phone's backlight should turn off when your screen filter value is set to 50%. You have to be rooted for this to work.

Hello and thanks to all who have replied. I'm now back from holiday and have tried all the things mentioned in this thread and they are either not available for my phone or they install ok but don't do what it says on the box. I'm going to try the ViperS ROM now and see if the tweak it seems to have for turning on/off the capacative lights works.
Tks.
Phil
