For me, it's only occured with the ProBam ROM which turns on your phone by sliding your finger across all icons when the phone is off.

Hmmm I don't have any slide functionality that I know of. I've gone through all the settings and the only way that I can get this to stop vibrating is if I turn off "vibrate on key press" overall. Any other ideas or info?

It can always just be due to not letting the ROM settle after flashing, not letting a ROM settle can cause issues or lagg.

It's been installed and settling for over 2 weeks at this point ... maybe 3...

settling occurs after flashing a ROM and before setup. Try flashing the ROM again and let it settle for 10 minutes before you set it up with the language and stuff.

Thanks for the clarification wolfsbay. I'll try reflashing again. Out of curiosity, are both of you running Dirty Unicorns as well?

Keyboard and onscreen button lights not working

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
MD5 Checksum: b213b282889e173f53b3a871a4941ffd
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.

[Q] Power button working strange.

Hi. I Have no clue why this this started happening but when i press the power button sometimes it doesn't respond, sometimes it is as if it was pressed twice and sometimes it works ok.
What things can I check?

you mean when you wanna wake up the phone/turn it off? do you feel i slight click when you press it?
When I want to wake it up I just need to press hard and it works.
To turn the screen off a lot of the times it turns off and lights up again.
I do feel a slight click when I click it but it seems that I need to press it harder to make it respond.
Sometimes I feel the click and it doesn't seem to receive it.

i fear there's a problem with the button then... if you're under warranty that shouldn't be a big issue...
The problem is that my screen broke a week after this problem started and I'm pretty sure fixing my screen will remove the warranty :-\

power button broken

hi! after a fall my Desire S have some problems with the power button. Now is still working but I have to push harder every day to unlock the phone!
I thought to remove the original ROM and use something like ICE DS to remap the power button to one of the volume keys. New motherboards for this phone are not cheap and I think this is the better solution. Do you have any suggestions? Is this the better way to solve the problem?

S2w is something I used and it is optional on most if not all current dev ROM. U can basically switch the the phone on or off by swiping from the home softkey to the search key. Install it and experience it for yourself.

thank you, S2w could be interesting. Is it too bad for battery life? I tested a week ago a few programs that unlock the phone using the proximity sensor and they didn't work very well.

Alternatively you could try screen off and lock from the playstore

Yesterday I have installed ICE DS 6.5 and it's amazing. This ROM comes with s2w already installed, and you can also unlock your phone using the volume keys!
So my problem is solved and I suggest to all people that have similar troubles to think about this solution!
I thought that S2W is just kernel related and not ROM related? So it would be enough to use the kernel from amidabuddha, right?

[Q] CM10 Nav buttons flashing on and off??

Hi all I have a Galaxy Blaze 4G on the t-mobile network.
I flashed CM 10 cm-10.0.0-t769.zip and the gapps from this thread.
Every thing seems to work very well but when the phone screen times out and goes black or I hit the power button to turn off the screen the hardware buttons ( Menu Home Back Search ) will flash on and off in 2 second intervals.
Any ideas? have I just not found a setting?
Thanks for reading.
Settings / display / notification light. It is probably flashing because of a notification that needs answering.

You need to flash the newest nightly, the stable isn't stable check the date. 3-10-13 is the latest. Plus the stable is missing a few things like the kill all apps button at the top of the recent apps switch.
I'd also really recommend flashing the updated radio located here:

I was having some issues with not being able to answer/make calls but this seems to have fixed it. It's an updated radio from what you probably have.

Hah, now that's funny. Truth is I stopped checking on XDA for a while, and never even saw that radio update. That's because I felt like I didn't really have a reason to, CM10 seems to be everything I wanted.
So, that's a kudos, all around?

[Q] Touch screen stops responding must reboot to fix

Recently two n5 we have in the family started doing the same thing,
touch screen is not responsive (buttons do work) and the device must be
rebooted holding the power button to get it working again.
Quite annoying since it happens couple times every day.
Searched around but didn't find any reports.
Both phones stock, rooted, gravity box and touch control installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I'm going to take a wild guess here, But try uninstalling touch control and see if the problem occurs again. touch control has no issues on my phone btw.

What kernel are you using with touch control (Franco 33)?
It was working perfect for us with Franco till about rev 29, after that we got problems with graphic errors on the display once in the while, relished stock offered from touch control installation, and now this problem for change.

Just had to be send mine back for same problem, only turning it off didn't fix my problem. Not rooted
Hmm...this just started happening to be as week this week. Happened twice today. I'm running the stock ROM & kernel.
I wonder if an update to some app is causing this.

Installed FC 33, the touch screen problem is not there anymore but the graphic distortion is back.
It happens once in the while and looks like poor TV signal for second or two.

Oh OK, if I reboot it's working fine and since 2 devices have the same problem using same set up, it shouldn't be hw problem.
Well mine has gone back.. Sounds like a different problem.
