I was running MIUI for a couple of weeks with no problem, a couple of days ago the lights on the keyboard and the circular buttons on the phone quit working. I didn't really think much about it, just figured it was a theme I applied just didn't agree with my phone. I tried restoring a nand of MIUI and still no lights. So yesterday I flashed mikshift ROM and still no dice. I'm now running the leak from yesterday and still none of my lights are working. I really don't want to run the ruu and go to sprint unless I absolutely have to.. any ides?

Excuse my ignorance but how would I remove the hboot and recovery without unzipping the file?
Edit: Never mind.. dumb question. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a shot when I have a little free time today.
I have had the same problem using several roms. One fix that worked for me was to disable auto-brightness, reboot, enable auto-bright, reboot again with my finger covering the sensor & both keyboard+onscreen lights work again. Try it if you haven't already.

Hey it's not my fault this app adds in a stupid signature ;-)
I can manually remove it but then I have to push more buttons.
CM nightly builds have a lot of issues but Sense roms are a big no-no for privacy reasons. Look at the logs and see for yourself what the damn OS is doing in the background. Sprint & Google don't need to broadcast audio from my phone everytime I take a crap and the cops already get informed when you go over 65mph on the freeway anyways. Have you seen the secret Sprint web app that law enforcement uses on people? I have.

Well it looks like I'm not going to be able to do this until later tonight or tomorrow. Just a question, why is the file size in your link so much smaller than the one in the original thread??
It should be the same file since I've used it before. I will do an MD5 check and reupload if it's a mismatch. Does anyone have the MD5 sum of the original? If so pls post it. Thanks
EDIT:
Here is the updated link: http://web2.google-it.info/PG06IMG-backup.zip

Again someone please confirm the checksum. Sorry about the broken link.
Well ran the one "zip" back to stock and still no lights.. Not real sure what the issue is. I have noticed over the past 24 hours that the lights on the keyboard will randomly work but it's not consistent. Guess I'll be heading to Sprint at some point.
How i fix the keyboard lights
This is how i fix the lights on my keyboard, the home and and menu buttons those still dont know how. First you go to settings>display>check automatic brightness>go to system update>update profile> turn off screen (on/off button), this is the important part! unlock your cell phone using the keyboard. Dont press on/off button then slide the keyboard for some random reason that doesnt work, just slide the keyboard on landscape mode then the light of the keyboard should work i think. Hope this work for someone else too.

So... I'm really confused now.
Multiple searches, and reading tons of this forum on a daily basis for several months now had led me to the conclusion that the i727 and i727R are identical hardware... how is it possible that this isn't working on Rogers? Could it be something as silly as an environment variable set differently somewhere?
Looking forward to seeing a post that somebody cracks this puzzler soon. As far as I can tell all of the ATT and Rogers ROMS up to now were interchangable...
Have I misunderstood, or are these phones not physically (chipset, hardware...) identical?

They are as identical as two phone with different branding can be. The software is different and that leak is very AT&T specific. So there's something in there that screws up the R. If you take it south and run an AT&T SIM I'll bet it works just fine. The good news is that it is software so someone will find it and make a more generic version. Besides, I'm here to *not* run a stock ROM so I'm staying far away until it settles down and the devs have dived in.

Alright, beautiful. this works on my Rogers i727R. Just I have the home button issue. I'll look over the phone to see what else is working and not working over the next few hours while I'm in class.
Thanks!
Edit:
1) Receiving errors when trying to download apps on the market.
2) Trying to fix the home button. It works on start up on the homescreen, but once an app opens it stops working.
both known issues with fixes. (the main at&t threads talk about his)
Factory reset until home issue goes away
clear data/force stop to download apps.
joshuaauger said:
Here's how I fixed that. I ran dark side super wipe before install then install, run wipe data factory/ reset, wipe dalvik, fix permissions. (Overkill but hey just in case). After, when first boot comes up and the AT&T setup shows, click cancel then next. RIGHT when that's done pull the battery, before any apps install. Start back up and was fine, no home button issue but still no working reboot menu.
Anyways might work for others.

Awesome man, thank you. I like the tablet view but would MUCH prefer Ubuntu
Yeah, this is the new "webtop" its 3.0. Droid razr users have the same thing, I doNT have a lap dock to test this, but I've been super curious as to if there would be any webtop without the actual dock connectors. Thank you for confirming this though!

I would like the choice to do both. It would seem to me that if they are just doing tablet view, then the old webtop partition would be unused. I would like the choice to do tablet view or "old" webtop.

Now that the thread is resurrected, ill say this, the only huge advancement for the new webtop is that all multilang key assignments there are on android, work for the lapdocks hw layout, where as for ubuntu, there were only a couple of choices.

Total noob here with a good sense of adventure :cyclops: I have the lapdock (modified so i can dock my A2) and been using it for the pass three days running ICS! Comparing it to the old webtop this one is much easier to use and faster, youtube and netflix run smoothly,everything worsk well while on wifi and using my bluetooth headset also the tether works as well after i did the mod :good:
I want to thank jimbridgman and everyone else who i cant think of right now that has made this possible.
Some launchers can not display correctly in the new webtop 3.0.0.
And HDMI mirror mode can not be used in portrait.

I have compared two of them side by side. There is no true netbook/desktop experience in webtop 3. there is no firefox. Even if you view desktop sites on ICS chrome, they look crappy, the resolution is suboptimal. Webtop 2 had google docs and citrix support (that was awesome, I could do my office work and make presentations), Webtop 3 doesnt. I have lapdock 500 and ICS on 14 inch screen doesnt look pretty. It looks overstretched. It cant utilize the full resolution of lapdock 500s screen.

this is true, its much better to use stock ics launcher in SCV7 too. you can find it in the leaks .zip along with the configurator apk
HOW on earth is anyone managing to get Webtop mode to even engage on the Atrix 2 running ICS?? I plug mine into the Lapdock 500 and it just automatically goes straight into landscape mirror mode, every single time, NEVER Webtop/tablet mode ever!! It gives me no choice at all ever, it just mirros the phone's landscape display with the notification bar still at the top, not at the bottom as it should be in tablet mode. I am running the first/original ICS leak pure, but have also tried custom ROMs such as ScV7. Same result every time.
What am I doing wrong??

I have gotten it to work now as well after disabling the "Entitlement Check" nonsense that was preventing webtop from activating correctly. Now I have another problem though, in that the mouse pointer/cursor is a gigantic white arrow that takes up a lot of space on screen.. Under the original pure ICS leak it was a regular small/normal pointer, but under the latest ScV7 ROM it's enormous. I'm wondering whether any of the wizards here know how to replace this with a more usable pointer arrow..?

you have probably firuged that out by the time i write this, but when your phone is booted up while connected to the dock, the mouse will be a big android icon... just unconnect and connect the phone, it will be fine.

Actually, under the ScV7 ROM I was finding that every other time I'd connect the phone to the lapdock, even already fully on and booted, I'd get the gigantic white mouse pointer. It would alternate between that and the proper smaller black one, each time I disconnected and reconnected. Perhaps I did something wrong during flashing/setup and it isn't the fault of the ROM. However on stock original first leak it always works correctly, and on the near-stock second leak ROM it also seems to be okay.

The long awaited upgrade is here but with it come some bugs. I didn't try out the SOAK as it was too much hassle for me, but some reported bugs there already...and since Motorola didn't really care about these minor bugs, we have to live with them now in the final release.
Here is my idea: let's collect the bugs we experience and let's find solutions for it.
The most annoying thing I encouter is the always shown 3G symbol, even when I have no or jost slow network. Does someone know how to fix this?

I'm not sure that I've seen 1x yet, but otherwise my 3G indicator seems to work fine. It switches to 4G when applicable, and goes away entirely if I have no signal or enter a voice-only roaming area. Signal strength bars work properly too.
EDIT: I started with a clean install of the most recent 4.0.4 release and immediately upgraded to the JB soak with the OTA that was posted here. Maybe you've got something from a previous install that's borked the network indicator.

That means you are on CDMA/LTE networks? I performed the SIM Mod, maybe just GSM is messed up...? I read in another thread that someone had the same issue during the SOAK.
I wonder if a hard reset would fix the issue, but I am too lazy to try out...But the symbol is a bit annoying when I _know_ that there is no signal...

Oh yes, I missed that you are on GSM. I am indeed running on CDMA, unfortunately I don't have any experience with the GSM service on this phone.
I don't have any probs like that in CM10.1, using the radio proprietaries / firmware from stock JB. So it's somewhere inside Moto's Android code.
CDMA 1XA was added to the 3G standard awhile back so technically the 3G symbol is correct.

What lapdock functionality do you have in ICS? I thought all it did was HDMI mirroring and USB keyboard? I would think HDMI wouldn't distinguish between a lapdock monitor and a TV, is it just the USB OTG issue causing the keyboard not to work?
This jellybean fix also lowers the ring volume.....and notification volume....does anyone know how to bring back the volume to its normal state...

NO more HDMI mirroring at all. and limited USB functionality.
I used to use it along with the Linux chroot method as a "laptop" while im waiting for a true dual boot to be ported for android so I reverted back to ICS.

Check My previous post in this thread.
But you need to use Skill_Cz's FXZ files along with RSD lite to revert back and make sure to remove the three lines in my post which i cant edit to be more specific if you like
Use the Latest 6.1.5 version of RSD lite to do so
The brightness slider keeps randomly reverting back to the lowest setting in the JB build also.
While I can't say that I make use of the HDMI, that is pretty awful that they straight up removed a feature. Have we not yet reached the point that HDMI support is native to Android?

Also have issues with this. And I am having issues with not being notified at all. On Vibrate, messages don't vibrate. I can select 'Vibrate on notification' and it wil work, but also vibrates when volume is up which I do not want. When the volume is up all the way, notification is barely audible. Voicecall notifications/ringtones work fine.
But it's also weird because sometimes it works fine. Trying to figure it out.
Otherwise I'm ok with JB. It's running decently and Smartactions are actually triggering by location now hehe.

HDMI still works. I have a dock I use to watch movies on my home theater with, and it still works. I believe the poster was reporting that Lapdock doesn't work anymore, not HDMI.
My new problem: app2sd doesn't work, the new version of android doesn't appear to support it manually, and I'm out of space on internal storage. Seriously, do they not have regression tests?

I recently got a new (refurb) GSIII from best buy because my old one turned into a paperweight (randomly from what I told them...I certainly didn't do anything to it! What's a rom? ). Since I got it the vibrate hasn't been working. I don't really care enough about it to swap it for a new one but I recently installed Slim 4.3 b2 on it and noticed that under Advanced options > Device > Haptic the vibration strength is greyed out.
GPS seems to be borked on every rom I try as well...could be something with the PCB or other internals. I may end up swapping it back out.
Does anyone have any experience playing with the vibration unit in these? I'm comfortable cracking it open if it might be something easy but off the top of my head I'm not sure what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Does anyone have any experience playing with the vibration unit in these? I'm comfortable cracking it open if it might be something easy but off the top of my head I'm not sure what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance for any help!

No personal experience but maybe looking at an ifixit teardown will reveal the location of the vibration motor.

I should have clarified, I have tightened all the screws and tried resetting AGPS. I have NOT reset back to TW. That's a derp worthy fail on my part. I'll give that a shot.

Forgot about iFixit. I'll check them out in a bit.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Stock rom worked like a champ and I had been running BMS since I switched to 4.3. Reflashed slim with the stock kernel and the GPS worked like a champ.
Vibrate is still a no go but I'll live with it

Hmm, good stuff! Do you think BMS was the reason your GPS was failing?

That's the best I can think of. I don't know why else it wasn't working and now it is. It would also explain why I had the issue on slim and CM before that. That being said, it may just be the combo of my phone and that kernel because as far as I know GPS isn't borked for everyone using BMS.

Fair enough. I noticed GPS issues as well, actually posted it on BMS thread. Oddly enough, reflashing the gapps resolved my GPS issues which kinda surprised me. Maybe try that if you do decide to run BMS again. All's well that ends well, glad you have almost everything resolved!
