When I make a phone call the backlight stays on and is nice and bright like i want it. But as soon as I press the end button, the backlight turns off and my screeen is REALLY dark. Pushing any button doesn't make the backlight come back on. I have to manually go into the backlight settings and toggle it to get it to turn back on. Any suggestions?
use kaisertweak/advanced config
disable fast sleep during call, and sleep during call

The screen keeps blinking back to full brightness, every 30 seconds or so, when it is left alone and the screen dims normally. It is as if something is pressing a button or touching the screen.
When I press the power button and send it to suspend mode, the backlight goes off, and the tilt no longer responds to touch or button pressing. For some reason it pops itself out of suspend and turns back on every couple minutes. My battery life is going down extremely fast. 100% to 40% in three hours.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched the forum but never found a specific topic for this issue.

I have the same problem w
th the backlight comming on by itself & battery life depletes extremely fast. I am using HD 15 Nov with 3.29.
In addition to backlight issue my hardware keys are no longer working.
Please has anyone got any advice
i have the same problem. the only thing that seems to work is doing the keypad lock and putting it to sleep. it will occasionally blink like its trying to come back on but doesnt. another thing i did is put my phone in flight mode, locking the keypad and putting it to sleep. when i do that it doesnt blink or anything. sadly i wont receive phone calls or emails and texts. i think the blinking has something to do with phone signal and accessing the networks.
hth
also i noticed that it wakes from sleep when the keypad "unlock" screen pops up.
i think i found a fix
Ok I hope this helps for you because it seems to work for me. I first went to start/settings/sounds & notifications. Then I clicked on the notification tab and unchecked everything leaving only the ringer on for when calls come in. when I did that, for about 5 minutes (longest I tested it at) the phone did not turn on and the backlight didn’t do that weird grayish flash thing. Afterwords I at first was going to go down the list of all notifications and turn things on/off to see what wakes up my phone but i got too lazy and only checked one setting. One thing I noticed is that when I have the beam: autorecieved notification turned on for display a message on the screen I get that weird backlight flickering thing. So for now I just have sound alerts on when I receive any type of messages and a sound alert for reminders. So far so good, my phone hasn’t woken from sleep in 20 minutes.
Hi, please forgive me for asking such a dumb question. I imagine my problem is not that uncommon. By default, the phone turns off back light if I don't touch any key for 30 seconds (feels like shorter than that). Anyway, I dial in to check my voicemail. Due to the length of the message, the back light turns off. It looks like there is no key other than the power button can bring the screen back. Sometimes, I have to press the power button a couple of times before the screen comes back, then when I try to delete the message (by pressing 7) sometimes I don't even see the keypad any more. It's just a bit of hassle. Can you tell me how you would do it?
thanks very much!
I'm not sure if there's an option for the phone not to switch the backlight off and/or go to sleep while in a phone call.
If you want to control the duration before the phone switches off the backlight or goes to sleep, you will have to change the backlight or power settings ujnder Settings -> System.
didn't know when and how it was set at 10 sec backlight

Thanks! I went into Settings -> System -> backlight and realized that it was set to was set at 10 sec on battery. I don't know when it got changed. Reset it back to 30 sec. should be better now. Changed the power to turn off after 3 min, too.
How do you trun on screen during a call? Once it times out and display shuts off. I needed to turn display on to turn on speaker phone or mute. When I hit end (pwr) button, the call hangs up.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

easy way is to just hit menu and you'll see the screen again
Mine usually comes back on when on a call if I lay the phone horizontal face-up. if that doesn't do it you can press the back key, menu key or tracball.
None of those work for mine. I am running Nightly #99 with stock kernel.
Try going into settings / call settings then scroll down to keep screen awake longer and check that I think that might help hope it does good luck

Press Menu.
The 6 hard buttons (menu, home, search, back, cal end, call answer) on the front of the device LED's will not turn off. They are always on when the phone is active and in sleep mode. How do I turn them off?
Ouch. That's a great question. Try Adjbrightness on the market. See if that helps.

If you're on a cm rom you can turn them off in settings. Settings/cm/display/auto light/click use custom/edit other levels/buttons set all to 0, save changes.
sent from my hero, which no longer sucks ass.
Battery went dead. Now vibration feedback setting for the capacitive buttons is greyed out and won't turn back on. Power saving is off.
Also, capacitive lights don't work anymore and keyboard vibration is greyed out. Wtf?
Any solution?
Update [fix].. I fixed all this nonsense by enabling power saving mode to immediate. Then turning off again. Everything is back to normal. It appears that power saving mode was stuck on when the battery went dead.
Happened to me once before also, I had to enable Ultra Power Saving & then turn it back off
