all,I am using CM 4.1.11.1 with Community Hero Theme.
I know the reason for draining my battery but I don't know how to solve it, can any one help?
issue:
When you press phone END button to keep th ephone in SLEEP mode,
- Phone goes to SLEEP mode and the Screen light is OFF.
- But, the Light on Physical keyboard is not switched off some times.
To see this, Get into a dark room and press END button to keep the phone in SLEEP mode.
Once the Phone is in SLEEP Mode,Do not Slide your Keyboard, Keep as it is and observe the Light from space between Slider and keyboard.
(I observed while I was sleeping..my phone was off but there was some light coming out)
I think this is not happening all the times but I have seen it many times and it is draining my battery.
To solve this, I use to open the Slider Press END button and make sure the lights or OFF and close the Slider.
Has any one observed this? can any one tell me how to solve this?
Is there a way to disable and enable the back light of Keyboard?

i understand that you are using your phone alot, as most all of us do, but how many times do you open and close your phone that this is a problem?
i usually close the keyboard, press home, press end and all lights shut off. hope this helps.
palosjr, yes I do the same. But as I said it doesn't happen all the time.
Also, it happens only with CM 4.1.11.1. I am not sure what ROM u have.
search market for backlight off. I have a bronze G1 and I prefer the kb backlight never come on at all so I use this.
Thanks man.
Finger....thanks a lot dude.
I was exactly looking for the same....
I really appreciate your info.
Here is the exact app name.... "backlight off"

Here's a silly question,
How do I tell if the N1 is off? Without turning it on?
There have been several times where I've turned it off for the night (force of habit), and later couldn't remember whether or not I had in fact turned it off...
Of course hitting the power button only turns it on if it was in fact off... meaning that I have to wait a whole boot cycle before shutting it down again.
From the thread in the other forum:
Hitting the volume keys doesn't seem to do anything when the phone is sleeping, i.e. it doesn't wake the screen up.
I like the idea of the trackball on wake thing except that it will probably wake the phone up a lot when it's in my back pocket.
any other tips?
v.
Trackballwake is the only way i can think. I used it on Cyanogenmod, and i didnt seem to have a problem constantly waking the phone in my pocket. Give it a shot, if it does cause a nuisance, back to square one.
I've tried both Myn's warm donut and incubus super froyo, both builds give me problems coming out of standby most of the time. My actual power button is messed up tho so i have to use the endcall button for all things power. just wondering if it's just me or is it a build problem?
You can use this
seems to be working XD we'll know by the end of the day, thanks!
alright, unfortunately it didn't work. keys are mapped to perfection but it still won't come out of standby UNLESS its charging. for some reason it works flawlessly while charging and not at all when its running off battery. any1 have any ideas?

The power button and charge switch are the only gpios that can really wake the phone. The cam button will also wake the phone, it just gets ignored. This means if you press cam and then another button quickly it should wake up. Without a working power button you will have trouble using the phone though.
just wana begin by sounding like a HUGE nerd: when i saw you commented on MY thread i got all light headed. thanks lol.
okay, it acts a lot like the power button is stuck. when it's plugged in with winmo the screen will turn off then immediately back on, also when i take the battery out and put it back in it comes on immediately. but i'll try your suggestion. also would it matter that i used the key remapping tool to set it to wake with other keys?
I tried taking it apart to examine the power button but i can't get the case to seperate, I've read there are clips holding it but i can't find them. I've looked at the walkthrough on that russian site but it doesn't show the location of the clips.
Hello everyone, this problem happened randomly yesterday. So the power button doesn't work at all when it worked fine before, and the LED charging light is now always green and always on. Also, when I remove the battery and put it back in, the phone automatically turns on! So, does anyone know what the heck is going on here? I don't think it's a ROM problem since i've been using my current ROM for the longest time (Kang-o-rama with CM6). If anyone has any clue or hints, please share! I'd like my N1 to work again Thanks!
That is definitely your power button that died on you...I've read you can turn the phone on by charging and taking out the battery then putting it back, I guess it works for you.
Maybe you could try another ROM/kernel to see if the battery led issue gets fixed...can you turn the screen off with the power button or what?
Nope, I can't use the power button at all. Can't turn off the screen, haha, so I have to wait until it times out.
Well then, there's your problem
I highly suggest you use a sleep widget for the sake of your battery and you probably are using trackball wake anyways I guess ^^
sigh, all right. so what do you think i can do to at least get rid of the constant green light?
Actually, I can't find that sleep widget you were talking about. Can you show me one on the market or somewhere? Thanks!
I use one called Lockscreenwidget. You can find a version that has simply changed the icon here: Link. I changed the icon to suit my own purposes (You can see in the screen shot thread) but if you'd like one made using your own icon gimme a buzz, it's easy enough to change.
hi, i was wondering if its possible to turn the screen on(after locking, to unlock) by pressing the volume buttons instead of just the power button? Its really annoying having the power button the only means of turning the screen on, my old renoir worked with my volume buttons(and anything else) same as my dads arena .
Also does anyone know how to change the auto backlight settings? The intervals are terrible, it doesnt drop high or low enough to save battery but the steps are so close you notice the backlight drop just by tilting it away from any light source lol (very sensitive and annoying without really helping battery life!).
Tried searching so I apologize if its already been mentioned but i havent found any mention or solution .
i saw an option of setting the volume button to turn/wake the phone up. i believe it's from the CM7 build..
Yep, turning phone on with volume buttons is definately available on CM7. But I don't think there's that option with any of the MRC roms.
I'm sure that tiny power button will wear out sooner rather than later...it would be good to have another way of waking up the screen.
Yes option is available in CM7, but not still got a few bugs
I tried a search for information and only found one mention from back in May, so I'm hoping someone can direct me to a fix..if there is one.
I just loaded CM 7.1 on my color Nook and as far as I know at this point it seems to be working well enough. I've noted that volume seems way down on some movie clips...if that's normal or there's a fix , I'd love the info. Also, is it normal for the 'n' button not to do anything at all. It used to take you to the home screen no matter where you were, but now it doesn't seem to do anything. However..
The thing that does bug me is that it never seems to go to sleep. The screen dims after a short time (I set the sleep time to a short period to check this), but unless I press the power button and force it to sleep, it doesn't appear to ever go off. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
JTT
