[Q] How to dim hardware button lights when screen locked - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

I've been using the Yuki Back to the Future 2.1 rom now for a couple of days, and I am really impressed! The only thing that still annoys me, how can the lights of the hardware buttons be dimmed when the screen is turned off? I have updated to the latest WM7 and applied the SP1 service pack. It isn't much of a problem, but I can imagine it takes some energy, especially at night.
I tried to search as best as I could but I couldn't find an answer, I hope you guys can help me. Thanks in advance!

HTC Home Screen after WakeUp

Heys guys,
have a question.
I hope someone of you have a hint for me.
When i power on / wake up (from standby) my HD it switches directly to the HTC Home Screen. I prefer wake up to last screen i was before.
Is that possible?
Thank you for all your hints.

me 2
I have the same issue, any ideas?
Which rom? How long is it in standby?
BLAC|6.5|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM HD (21812) ★ || Build date 2009/6/20
anything between 1 and 15 min - it doesn't look like it makes a difference.
think its the ROM? hope not - digging it
Hi guys,
thanks for responding.
I'm running the Dutty Extreme Rom at the moment.
And there is no time delay... when i switch the HD into Standby and next second i wake it up .... Home Screen...
I am using Black Perl v3 and none of this happens. The device wakes up on the screen it went to sleep. Maybe you should try and ask the people with the same ROM as yours (the specific ROM thread is my best bet) and see if it is ROM related and if it is not... i don't know... maybe it is the screen locking application (if you use any - I am with LockMeLite 1.3 and it doesn't cause this) or some tweaks you made... If it is not a problem for someone with this strange issue to make a hard reset and install all applications he has installed now and see which one causes it.
I'm using the EnergyROM and it doesn't happen? Strange I admit I only tried after a few minutes but If I have something open like explorer its still there when I turn it back on.
good morning....
thank you all for your response.
So, i think it is my ROM i use.
I will try anotherone.
Thank you all !!!!
hello,
yesterday i switched from DuttyExtreme to EnergyRom.
Works fine. WakeUp to my last used screen.
So it must be the settings from ExtremeRom.
Once again, thank you all.
Well that is strange as I have had only had NRGRom.
Any idea if there is a reg setting for this? Actually, @tkolev - I will try a hard reset, was hoping to avoid.
Are you using an auto lock or locking it each time before this wakeup? If you are then that is the source of your problem
My device locks itselfs after 30 mins.
It 's an exchange server setting of our company.
But EnergyRom works also after device locked.
Dutty Extreme not.

Random Black Screens on TMO US HD2

This is regarding the TMO HD2... i am hoping this is just an issue I am having because of loaded apps on the phone including IM, games, and tweaks galore (already lol)....
but does anybody's TMO USA HD2 randomly get a black screen of death until you pull the batter than its okay??... the bottom keys light on, but the screen stays off...
Like i said i hope im the only one for the sake of us XDA'ers lol but thought I would ask
hold the end call key its been known to help
Standby Of Death
Hi,
I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 - running the lastest ROM.
I updated to the latest ROM after lots of 'standby of death' problems with the previous ROM but am not seeing the same on this latest ROM.
I am unclear if this is hardware of software fault.
It seems to freeze only when running the HTC Sense as reverting the WM6.5 default 'today' soves the problem.
So, I am in same boat
Any Ideas welcome?
Cheers,
T
I'm mostly stock from yesterday and no black screen yet. Except when I was in ereader and didn't realize the first page was blank and black.. lol!

Need help with official 2.2 problems

I just picked up the Streak today from Best Buy. Once I saw the $50.00 price and realized I could update to 2.2 right away, it was a no brainer, so I thought....
I am actually digging the Streak, if I can get a few things worked out. I am coming from the Captivate which I just recently upgraded to Froyo. I actually love the Captivate now that it has 2.2. I just love the screen size of the Streak more!
FWIW, it looks like the Froyo that I installed is not the AT&T version. I dont see any of their bloatware. Is this good or bad?
The problems I am encountering with the Streak are, backlit buttons do not light up when touching the screen. They only light up when I touch them, which defeats the purpose of backlighting. I also dont see any provisions for mobile AP or tethering. I thought that, even though they may be locked, that they are part of Froyo and should be there? Same with "power widget"??? that is normally above the pull down notification window? You know, where you turn on/off GPS, WIFI, bluetooth? I don't have it. The other thing that came with Froyo on the Captivate but not on the Streak was the Task Manager. Should that be there?
After updating and setting up most everything, it started getting a little buggy. Screen orientation was doing weird things and locking up. Wifi seemed real slow, after being super quick. I went ahead and did a factory reset and I am still having the same issues. I have not noticed any orientation issues YET. BTW I have never rooted a device. I am not against doing it if it fixes things but I prefer to stay stock. Any help is greatly appreciated.
It probably is stock 340 if you did the ota update which is at&t version of froyo for the streak. If you want to tether try barnacle always worked for me. You will have to sideload it because at&t blocks some apps in the market. When i had my captivate i learned a nifty lil trick you can put your phone in airplane mode then turn on wifi go search the market for the at&t blocked app and it would show up worth a try. The power widget on the phone long hold the screen and check widgets.recalibrate your screen that will help don't realy know how to post links so (search, search, search) everything you need to know can be found here on xda its the best site ever hope that helps you some. Remember search i cant stress enough how important it is. Alot of smart people on here i learn something new on xda everyday.
I came from a captivate....
the buttons in the drop down are part of samsung touchwiz and not android itself.
you can get the same desired effect with more buttons using Power Control Plus.
Thanks guys for your help. How about the backlit buttons that don't light up when touching the screen? Is that normal? Also, can the haptc feedback be lowered?
I just turn the feedback off i havent really paid any attention to the lights but i will now. if u root just use superoneclick v1.7 works great just get the right dell drivers.
There is only 3 buttons, so it isn't difficult to memorize where they are after 2 days of use.. I personally like the buttons off...
Dell's version of froyo does not have alot of the features that the Samsung roms have. There is no vibrate intensity setting, no font changing setting (use font changer from market).
I just got 2.2.2 loaded and that has the option to make a sound when you unlock the streak.
You sacrifice a few options with the streak, but it is rock solid stable and doesn't need any tweaks besides spare parts windows and transition options set to fast. so it is lightening fast.
I think I have found the problem. It looks like the light sensor is bad or a software issue that is causing the sensor not to work. On auto brightness it does nothing. I called Dell and they confirmed that the buttons should light up when the screen is touched. and that it is likely a defective sensor. I am going to return it for a new one. On a positive note, the screen had been running at only 1/4 brightness. Display looks MUCH better now that I have turned up the brightness a bit.

I am facing this only when battery is bellow 15%. If this is the case then just charge it before it goes to 15%.
If that's not the case then you can try installl MAGLDR v1.3
Do you have this issue in Froyo or Gingerbread ROMs? or in both? What version of CWM are you using?
I have the same problem on MIUI since after approximately 1.3.18 (cutover from Froyo to Gingerbread). Also have this problem on CME DHD2 Compact.
It is also an issue if someone tries to call me.
Sometimes, if I try waking the phone from sleep (power button) and it hits the black screen, and I wait long enough, it will wake. But again, the only real fix I know is pulling the battery.
I am running MAGLDR 1.13
Also, another fix that works sometimes is plugging in the phone into a power source e.g. laptop USB port
It's something about light sensor, when you put your screen into a strong light it would be turn "unblack" again. I don't know how to fix it, is this a problem with this hardware because it's broken or my version of LEO doesn't support NAND full functionaly.
Begging for answer!
i know about my poor english
I have this problem too.. running latest Hyperdroid rom by pongster (magdlr version) and it's driving me crazy. Sometimes phone wakes up normally after a call like it shoud, sometimes is stuck with black screen for few minutes, hours even (although i can't wait that long so i pull out battery)..
Back on WinMo everything worked normally, so it's not an hardware issue with proximity/light/whatever sensors
Is there any fix out yet? I googled and searched this forum a lot and haven't found nothing much helpful, ony a couple of threads with bunch of people with same problem like me. An option for disableing those sensors would be just as good, i've tried few apps for keeping the screen awake and none of them actually worked..
Any help is appreciated.. thanks in advance.
Bump!
Anyone? :/
I have the same issue - running Gingerbread, MAGLDR 1.13
Very annoying cause everything else works super.
Temporary solution i use is to use headset / handsfree. Then there is no problem.
So experts on XDA, we are begging for a fix for this!
I have the same issue since first Android roms and never found a real solution for the problem.
Instead i found a bypass that works for me reasonably well (99% of the cases the screen turns on after a call).
I installed the following 2 applications that wakes up my screen after the call (install then enable each one):
1. Screebl - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keyes.screebl.lite
2. Modified version of SpeakerShake - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=449922&d=1290758421
I suspect this issue is somehow related to hardware failure in light sensor. Installing these programs solve this problem for me.
Also take a look on the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835127
I have had the same thing happen to me but only around 2 or 3 times in a about 3 months of usage. Had it on both CM7 and MIUI Gingerbread ROMs regardless of battery percentage.
MAGLDR 1.13
Some users experience this using SetCPU
if you have a profile for screenoff and it's set to the lowest frequency, try to set the frequency to something above 500 MHz.
If you have smartass set as governor, then even setting the frequency to it's highest (without OC) during screenoff wouldn't change anything in battery performance, but the device will wake up faster.
Your setup works for me as well - until we`ll see a fix for it this will do

Incearca Sanity app, cauta pe Market, mie aceste doua nu mo ajutat
with me is so but only if I navigation (Navigon) and to have someone call me and then left the screen black and I can not make
try to change the kernel. that works for me
hey guys! i found the solution goin through the market!
download an app called "Sanity" theres a free version in the regular android market.
go to the settings > general > check "Reverse Proximity" (This will give you some warning about not using it if you DONT have a buggy proximity sensor). Check it anyways. Then go back to preferences then click "Proximity" scroll down and uncheck Turn off screen and leave leave the Turn on screen checked. this will force your phone to stay on during calls so that it never has to go through the proximity phase of calls this no more black screens. Hope this was helpful ^_^
Thanks!
I had this problem aswell. MIUI & Cyanogen mod were the ROMs I was using, and this problem started occuring after a few months use (my screen is also damaged from a fall, so maybe the sensors are a little damaged as well).
When I installed the WinMo 6.5 stock ROM again, everything was normal, except that my screen still turns black during calls BUT I can activate it again by pressing the power button.
Now I installed android again and the Screebl app (enabled it) and I have the same functionality! The only problem that remains is that my screen still turns black during calls, so I have to answer with the phone button and putt down phone with the power button. Still beats having to remove the battery though .
If someone has a fix for the black screen, it would be more than welcome!
But, thanks a million for the Screebl app tip! I can use my phone again .

I also try with WinMobile and the problem was still there ...
I think the sensor is broken ....
I will bring my phone to service ... and when i take it back I will tell you whether it is repaired
Solution
I had the same problem with Android roms on my HD2. I saw in an other thread a member (z-o-r-r-o-, thanks btw) wrote "just clean dust on the screen, where sensor is situated". This looked like a joke to me, but it's not. On a review of the phone I found the place of the proximity sensor. This is on the top of your screen next to the speaker, on the left if you look at the screen. I just took off the protection layer of the screen and cleand the sensor and the problem was solved. So I cut of a bit from the protection layer so that the sensors arn't touched by anything.
I think the problem is that this sensor is much more sensitive with android roms.
Hope this works for you to.

Screen sensitivity & recalibration

I received a Z17 a few days ago and have really struggled with it. The phone feels really good but I am finding operation really difficult - the screen seems excessively sensitive. Most of the time when I touch or sweep the screen it register multiple touches - I hear multiple ticks. More often than not the app just tapped on opens then immediately closes (not force closing just going into background). Operating the phone is near impossible.
Is there a way to re-calibrate the screen sensitivity?
Short video showing the problem - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpP6t2C3xeM

I don't have that issue. My screen issue is that it's too dark. I have to put it over 75% brightness or higher. I have a Bluboo Maya Max that also have an LCD screen from JDI that is pretty bright at 25% level.
Brightness seems OK here - although I might not be the best person as I typically run my screens at minimum/very low brightness unless I am out in the sun.
The sensitivity issue is driving me nuts though.
Bee
Updated to latest software version (2.44) but this has not improved the situation.
I have noticed that this is worst when I pick up and use the phone after it has been sat for a while. Things settle down if I continue to use the screen for an extended period of time - it seems like the screen is hugely sensitive and is picking up static on my hands.
Hopefully there will be a way to recalibrate the screen, maybe once root, unlocked bootloader and custom roms all become possible.
Still surprised no one else has reported this issue. Really hoping to find a way to re-calibrate the screen sensitivity.
Here is a video showing the problem. Basically it is nearly impossible to use the phone when you first pick it up, it does seem to improve after continue use.

If you turn up the volume (and watch the red home indicator) you will hear/see that each touch is being registered multiple times.

i will receive my Z17 on Tuesday... then, for my part, i will answer again.
actually i have an off topic question: u can use google chrome?
if yes, how?
any other google apps?

Yes - chrome works. You will need to get from apkmirror or similar.
Like others I tried installing google framework & play but this didn't work. Google music would run but unless you have local files you can't do anything with it.
I REALLY want to like this phone but so far it just isn't usable as a daily driver.

I have the same problem, exactly as you describe it! It appears that it's the Recent Apps button that has the problem (at least on my phone) as it is the only one that activates on its own. It also seems as if it "accumulates" button presses when left alone, so it has to "release" them during the first couple of minutes that you pick it up again. Then it is more or less ok.

I was hoping the same but this is not the case unfortunately. Problem is still there with the latest Resurrection Remix (5.8.4). It's a shame, it's a great phone otherwise but this bug is driving me mental
Not just me!
Sort of pleased someone else has the same problem! Agree that it isn't fixed in RR. Hopefully there will eventually be a solution.
I tend to deal with it by holding the phone between my two palms (i.e. holding my palm fully across the screen) for a second or so when I pick the phone up after it has been sat for a while. This seems to reduce the sensitivity (or remove static build up?) and things work normally.
Of course this shouldn't be necessary and not something you want to do when trying to answer a call.

Hello Boboskins
Can't access to your video
Sadly still not found a solution. I have tried RR (up until about 10 days ago) and now using Mokee. Appreciate your comments on the recent updates - I will take a look at the log in case the latest RR updates solve anything.
EDIT: Ursus91, just took a look and Photobucket appears to have stopped allowing 3rd party views. I will upload somewhere else and update the link once I am done.
@boboskins : thanks, it should be helpful to understand the problem you encounter. I'm not sure to understand. And I'm still waiting to use the phone every day
I have the same problem
Same problème here ! When i use the phone it seems it close app or back like i hit the button. :/ Really annoying :s
Hello,
I have the same problem too. The sole solution from GeekB is to return the phone for repairing...
I have it sometimes on the left button (in the major cases), the middle button has actually no problems, the right, sometimes.
I use the middle button to come back to "the main view" (icons) and then, the left button seems going alive.
I'm not sure it is a hardware problem
Edge gestures issue
Greetings!
I've just started using Nubia Z17 Lite and found out that the specific edge gesture to control the brightness level doesn't work on my unit. Does anyone know if this is a bug that can be resolved by an update or did anyone have the same issue and has fixed it?
I'm quite sure the problem isn't with the hardware because other edge gestures seem to work fine.
Thanks ?
Nubia Z17 black screen
Good evening. I own a Nubia Z17 8gb ram 128gb rom and today had a problem. His screen is black and the LED on the menu button is on. It obeys no command. He did not fall, everything perfect. Could someone help me with this problem?
