Hey guys. I have a little problem. I recently updated my galaxy s2 skyrocket to Beanstalk Kitkat. This rom is top notch and I am loving everything. However i have noticed one problem. My button lights are not turning on, neither on notifications and neither when I am using my phone. They go off for a while. They just wont turn on. And then come back on after a while. So what is the problem?

Have you tried going into Settings/Buttons and messing with the backlights settings or go to Settings/Advanced and got to the sensors tab and enable or disable the settings under touch keys
Yes that worked. Thanks a lot buddy!

One more issue. Im using beanstalk kitkat. Everything about this rom is perfect. But my battery drains like hell! Its like i have to charge my phone 2 to 3 times if i use it for games and wifi. It gives me good time when my phone is idle. But when i am using it, the battery drains so fast! Any solution?
Related
Hashcode and twa_priv both have great ROM's out now, that work wonders with the battery drain in standby. One of my kids gets -15 or less drain when in deep sleep now. Amazing.
But my other daughter, hers keeps spiking up over -120 and higher while using the same rom. I saw that the screen brightness cant be set to 100 or the screen doesn't fully shut off, and that is exactly what is happening. I can still see a dim backlight sometimes when turned off.
I keep changing it to a lower setting, and then she gets great battery life for a while, then something is changing the screen brightness back to 100. She isnt doing it, because I grounded her from it for a couple days, and it still did it when she wasn't even playing. So I wiped everything, clean installed the 01/08 rom fresh today, and it still does it.
Is there an app that will lock the brightness for me? I cant seem to find one.
Thanks!
I had that same issue on my KF repeatedly and found that it was from build.prop changes. Switched to Paranoid Android and the in notification brightness slider has been perfect and the screen off/on issue never came back.

Cool, thanks for the tip!
Once I studied this Kindle closer, you could see the screen backlight come on for a few seconds, then back to sleep, then back on, and back to sleep. A clean install of the latest rom from twa_priv seems to have fixed the problem, he reverted some kernal changes that were causing problems for some users.
Funny that you are in Eustis, I live there and in Mt. Dora for a while, back around 1988 to maybe 1993. I am in Ocala now.
So I was surfing some forums earlier this morning when my, 3 day old, Galaxy Note 10.1 screen went dark. Not a full black like when the screen is off, though I thought it was at first. But it wasn't completely off which I found out when I hit the power button to turn the screen back on. It turned it off. Anyways, when I turned it back on I was notified that the Wifi also went out. Maybe it had something to do with that?
I took it as a sign to go to sleep since I was staying up way too late playing with my new tablet. So I haven't messed with it since. I'll come back to post more in this thread if it happens again - especially if no one else seems to know what the problem is.
Anyone have any thoughts?
My screens does that too.. No big deal to me as long as its working..

And it's not like a screen dimming when the backlight turns off, seconds before the screen actually does turn off. Same experience for you?

Only happens in the stock browser for me. Maybe once a day.

Any one find a fix for this? It happens a few times a day for me. Hitting the power button twice gets me back but usually happens in the middle of taking notes in class so is annoying to take an extra few seconds to get it back up. Maybe a kernel thing?? I've tried resetting a few times with no luck
It's the sleep-of-death, which happens most often after an Android update. I had issues with it occurring regularly after updating to JB. I traced my problem down to an app that worked well under ICS but caused JB to crash. Once I removed the app, I stopped having issues (I'm on stock 4.1.2). If you're on a custom rom, check the forums to see if others are having the issue on that rom. Also, do Internet searches on the apps that you use most frequently to see if there are reports of any of them causing JB to crash. Good luck, it just takes detective work on your part so be patient.
random screen blank
I have had my Galaxy Note 10.1 since xmas. Lately it randomly goes blank. It happens during an application or game. I can click the on/off button to put it to sleep then wake it the regular way...
I have noticed it with games mostly, 250+Solitaire and Sudoku Premium. The screen goes blank, the backlight stays on and have to put to sleep to get screen back...
Mine does the same thing except I usually can't wake it back up. The screen stays black and I have to hold the power button down until it restarts.It's happened with the stock browser and Google play store while I was browsing.
It happens to me too (ics and jb) sometimes, does't matter what app is runing, but only if I'm using stylus. I don't mind it, just have to double press power button.
Sent from my GT-N8010
I still have it happen sometimes too. Never found a solution and I'm quite certain it even started happening before I had any extra apps installed.

I feel like you might be on to something with the stylus being out because I'm quite certain it only happens to me when I have mine out too. Something to keep an eye on.
My GS2 had a charging port problem so I pulled a spare Nexus S 4G out of my desk, flashed a CM10.1 nightly and have been happy ever since.
I have one thing I would like to change.
I understand that I can't modify the brightness of the hardware key backlight. Can I change them so that they stay on the whole time the screen is on? Once they turn off, I can't see the buttons at all, even indoors.

Yes, disable BLD in Settings > Advanced settings.

That did the trick. Thanks.
It was about the only thing I didn't try was moving that slider. I thought it would just decrease the time the backlight stayed on.

I purchased my NVIDIA tablet yesterday but having problems with the responsiveness coming from sleep. About 1/5 of the time, my tablet will not respond to my finger/stylus. I always have to press the power button a few times to get it to work.
I have all the updates, including the recent update from yesterday. Is this defective?
Thanks in advance

I've never experienced any issues like this. Contact Nvidia Customer care.
This screen is very responsive!! Make sure you are all up to date with your ota and make sure you have a look in a settings / SHIELD POWER CONTROL/ OPTIMIZED

I've had that many times during one single day. Had to literally reboot the thing 5 or 6 times that day. COMPLETELY NO RESPONSE FROM THE SCREEN, ONLY BUTTONS. Still have to clue what the deal was. Hasn't done it since, but the issue DOES exist. And yes, I bought from the very first batch, straight from Nvidia.
I've had this problem since day one. Also the tab crashes at random times and it getting ****ing annoying. Thinking of returning the thing. It's worse than useless. Turn the screen off and you can bet that i'll have to reboot to get the touchscreen working again.
Idk why this helped but it did. I switched from using philz touch recovery to cwm recovery...now screen works less than half the time I turn it back on. That's still better than never.

I've never experienced this on Stock, Only on Pac-Man ROM and CM11. Either way it is very annoying.
This is a reaaallllllyy ghetto work around until the issue is solved, but the way I worked around it on CM11 is to have Tasker and Secure settings wake the device for a few seconds every 45 mins - 1 hour. Ever since I've had Tasker performing that task I've had no issues with the screen being unresponsive.
I have figured out how to fix the touchscreen issues. All you have to do is go under Settings>Apps>All Apps and find anything that ranges from Google Taiwanese or any Google foreign language app and disable it. There should be two of them. I haven't had any problems since I disabled them. :good:
I found something that has worked so far. I always use Nova launcher since it's my fav. I didn't think much of leaving the launcher that came with the rom. I went to titanium backup and froze the other launcher and it solved the touchscreen issue. This also fixed the app crashing problems most of the time. Still if I run more than two applications at the same time everything on the tab starts crashing. Seems to be a ram problem. I checked max backround processes and it's at "normal" which usually is fine. If anyone has a solution to the crash problem please let me know. Meanwhile i'll keep trying stuff.

Same problem here... Funnily enough I just wanted to try a custom rom to see whether this issue will be fixed and a new official upgrade to 7.0 came up - https://shield.nvidia.com/support/shield-tablet-k1/release-notes/1
Will see whether ithe problem is gone.
There was a time when my screen became a bit unresponsive. Very random. Calibrating the touch sensor fixed it up. Its a bit hidden but you'll find it by going into Settings>About Tablet (device)>Click on Model Number 3 times>The calibrating settings will pop up hit Touch then hit Start. It'll do it's thing and reboot. Hopefully it helps.

I had a similar issue with touchpoints not working near the corners, calibration fixed things for me also. It's pretty quick and easy to do so I urge you to try that before doing a factory reset.
So far so good... Android N seems to fix the problem

As the title states, my screen won't time out. It started happening a few hours ago. I'll leave my phone down, it'll dim the screen, but it won't shut the screen off. I have the timeout setting set for 30 seconds. Ironically enough, this happened to my first note 5 and I thought it was a manufacture defect so I exchanged it for a brand new Note 5 and now the issue came back. Any one know what I can do to alleviate this problem? Is an app causing the screen to stay on? I'm not sure what to do at this point. Any advice would be great.

I seemed to have the same problem and then noticed my pen was ever so slightly out. I had already tried restarting, and that didn't help, but then put the pen back in and it's been fine since.

I seem to be having the same problem. I only notice it when it's charging. I hit the lock button and screen goes off, but it goes back on again if I get a notification. I get up in the middle of the night and the screen is on, very dim but on nonetheless. My spen is not out, I checked that also.

Hey guys, thanks for your responses. It seems as though it was an app that was causing this timeout issue. I just manually uninstalled some apps that I never use/came with the phone and all is back to normal. Thanks for your replies!

May I ask what apps you Uninstalled that nay have caused this, because m8nrme is still doing it. It only does it when it is charging and I get an email or message notification. Could that be the problem? I would hate to turn off messaging notifications.
Sent from my Galaxy Note 5 on Verizon Wireless USA
If anyone is interested. I think I figured out the problem. I went into developer options and unchecked screen awake while charging. Stupid mistake, I have no idea why that would be turned on by default.

Hey man sorry for the delayed response. I actually didn't have screen awake on in developer mode. As for the app culprit, I'm not sure which app was keeping my screen on but I suggest disbaling/uninstalling every app that you don't use/need. It worked for me and hasn't been giving me a problem since then.

It could be if you had your carrier transfer stuff for you. We use developer options to turn USB debugging on. Also states to use the stay awake while charging option. Doesn't require it but lets us transfer without interruption. Just make sure its switched off under developer options.
