[Q] On-Screen buttons don't stick after OPO is locked - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I got my OPO on Wednesday morning, did the 38R update, unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp and rooted it right after the update. I went to change my buttons to on-screen, made some adjustments to the layout, did a few other things to the phone to get my apps installing then locked/turned the display off. When I unlocked the phone, the buttons had returned to the original positions instead of my rearranged positions. Anyone else have this issue and have a quick fix?
The capacitive buttons aren't bright enough to see most of the time and I don't mind losing 1/16 of an inch screen real estate.

[INFO] Capacitive Buttons

The bottom row of 4 Capacitive buttons do not light up as bright as The other galaxy S phones. This is Normal, not sure why (maybe battery life). I went to the AT&T Store today thinking that my LEDs for these buttons were doa, however every model phone they had are the same.
Just letting everyone know.
Maybe there is just a Root Setting to Change the brightness of them, but we will have to see as Development Continues.
I'm fine with the brightness, i'd rather have the timeout fixed. Everyone is having this issue. I also would like to have the option to change lock timeout screen.

[Q] Quirky Touch Screen Problem

One of my phones is an HTC Surround that i don't use that often but still want it to work. To the issue though, each time the phone is turned on (not powered on, just woken) the screen refuses to work on the right side. In order to get past the lock screen you have to swipe up on the left side. After that the right screen becomes 'active' only after you swipe the left screen again. The home button and the search button on the phone only work after sliding the left side of the screen down and hitting the back button, once that task is accomplished the entire phone works perfectly and no more issues develop. This has been driving me crazy trying to figure out why its doing this. I reset the phone twice, both through the reset in the settings and doing a hard reset. When neither of those attempts worked i put it in bootloader and flashed this release (http://www.filefactory.com/file/b48...S_1.03.502.07_5.51.09.06_22.30.50_RELEASE.exe) to it and it still continues with this wierd touch screen issue.
I could probably just throw the phone away and not care but i'd prefer to fix it and sell it. Plus its driving me insane trying to figure out the issue.

[Q] screen touches do the opposite

just flashed the stock RUU back on to the phone... had issues going through the initial setup until i noticed what is going on, when i press on the left side of the screen the icon/app on the opposite responds. so for example in my keyboard, pressing q types p, caps does backspace, same goes for icons on the home screen, when i pull down notification screen and want to open settings i have to press on the clock on the opposite side. the 3 bottom buttons do work as expected.
- i restarted the deivce
- i turned it all the way off and back on
- i disabled Sense keyboard (via apps)
issue persists
anyone any ideas? help a dude out please... thanks in advance!
re-flashed stock ROM... issue persists.
nobody has seen this before?

Screen is constantly locking for no reason, is my light sensor busted?

Hi all,
When I'm using my month old Nexus 5 it will just randomly kick me back to the lock screen, sometimes I can just unlock it and keep on trucking but sometimes it will just immediately lock again or it will work for a couple of seconds and then re-lock. Once its in this state even a reboot doesn't always help and about the only thing I can do is get into recovery mode and re-flash it again. I used the Sensor Box app and have noticed that the light sensor is always reading zero, and I'm not sure if this is part of the issue?
This was happening on the PA Alpha, Stock 5.0.1 and since I was still having the issue I flashed back to 4.4.
The weird thing is that my phone had been fine for the 3 weeks or so I had it before hand. I flashed lollipop on it less than an hour after I took it out of the box and it had been running smoothly up until yesterday.
So a few questions:
Is there anything I can try to fix ir?
Can I use debugging to see what is causing the screen to lock?
Is this likely to be a hardware issue?
If it is, is there anything I will need to do to make sure I keep my warranty?
Any help is very much appreciated.
Bump with some other information:
I don't think its the light sensor, I tried using the phone in a pitch black room last night and the same thing was constantly happening, there was something else odd happening though.
From the restore of 4.4 I was on the "Select language" screen, whilst I could swipe and roll the various language options up and down the moment I presses "Next" the phone locked, if I left the phone on this screen eventually the screen would automatically lock and then it would keep locking itself constantly again.
Also, just for total clarification by "lock" I meaning "return to lock screen" not freeze up and become unresponsive.

Capacitive button backlight not working.

Hi guys,
I recently picked up a U11 as a replacement for my old, ailing Galaxy S5. I've noticed that the backlight for the capacitive buttons NEVER comes on. I've OTA updated to Oreo, I've changed the settings for the buttons to "Always On" and I've even gone ahead and did a factory reset on it. It's stock everything (for now!) and no root.
If it comes down to it, I can just do without... but I'd really rather having it working the way it's supposed to...
So... quick update.
Apparently, my notification light wasn't working either. I actually didn't even know if it had one until I looked it up.
That aside, I finally received my screen protector and case. I turned the phone off to apply the glass protector, turned the phone back on... and suddenly have my notification light and the 'Recent' button backlight working. The 'Back' button is still off. So... loose connection? Now I'm wondering if I give the phone another 'massage' (like when I was working with the protector and getting out bubbles) if the back button will come on, or it will just stop working again...
