Ever since upgrading to CM6 Stable, LEDs Hack has not completely worked for me.
I have it set to disable all lights when plugged in, except the charging LED. It does this fine, however it is failing to intercept notifications (text/email/missed call/variosu app notifications) and just lets the trackball flash away.
This is incredibly annoying and distracting. It usually wakes me up because the trackball is so bright in darkness.
Is there an alternative app that can do a similar job and do it right?
I could always turn my phone face down but I don't want to do that!
In Froyo an app is able to disable LEDs, so being rooted and using LEDs Hack is no longer necessary; perhaps the developer stopped supporting it at that point?
I haven't used LEDs Hack since the developer added the same functionality into Bedside for Froyo, which faithfully disables all lights, LEDs included, on CM6 for me. It's 99 cents, but you get a great side-table clock along with it!
I'll look into Bedside, thanks - I suppose I can always refund it if it still doesn't work for whatever reason!
Hi,there are many gestures with the Note but I heard that you can turn on the flashlight while the phone is locked just by shaking it? Has anybody done this?

I don't think this would be a good option... what if we keep in our pocket and run??? device definitely bounce and flash on !!!!.
I think you are talking about the flashlight application in the market (not the torch widget that comes with recent upgrade - LC1 I think).
The flashlight app has a (configurable) feature whereby you can turn the light on by pressing the power or menu key to get to the unlock screen and THEN shaking the device. I do sometimes use this - as if you are doing something like a DIY task and you need light quickly with your hands busy it's the quickest way - one button push and a shake.
Havng said that I have found several times that when in my pocket, I've accidently pressed the power key and my walking motion has then turned on the light - spotted by a rather strange white dot shining through my jeans!
Hello, I used simple flashlight on ours SGA in CM 7.2 torch app but I notices that when you are taking a photo at night with flashlight, at hat moment when taking picture flashlight goes VERY bright. So is there some apk that allow to use that VERY bright flashlight or we are just doome with very dimm flashlight? ;(
Tick high brightness in flashlight app and youre done.
But Im not sure if it will work as Ive not tried it.
Anyways, there will be damage to the led if you run it in high brightness for a long time!

tried to put max in app but nothing. I know that it can damage to led.
I'm running official CM10.1 20130522 nightly on my 862 and I am not able to adjust volume with volume buttons with the screen turned off.
Works fine if screen is turned on, even at lockscreen.
Now, I am using this with Spirit FM radio app, so perhaps there's a weird conflict. If so, maybe I'm not doing the settings there right, if so, I'll go to the respective thread for that app.
Off topic, I need more 10.1 nightlies since 20130522!! Lol.

Hi,
has someone else problems with the screen rotation?
Actually I like to use macdroid to control when screen rotation is enabled. It will activate based on where I am and what app I use.
So the rotation is usually portrait fixed but when I use youtube ie. the screen will rotate so I can use landscape there too.
The problem is that either by using macdroid or even when I enable/disable rotation too often it won't rotate anymore.
I have to restart the device to have it working again.
Can you confirm this? Or is this just my device?

Nothing wrong here. Turned on the auto rotate, went to youtube, played a video in portrait mode. Then rotated the device and the video went into landscape.

Try turning rotation on and off several times and then see if rotation still works after you turned it on.

Well, this sounds like app specific problem. Don't use macdroid for such tasks and u're ready to go.

As said it even happens when I press the tiles button too often. So its not a problem of the app.
But maybe the device is broken. I'll try to reset it and see if the problem exists if a few more people can confirm its not a problem for them I guess.
No issues whatsoever with screen rotation here. Sorry.

Yes i had the same issue! Each time the problem appear i have to reboot my phone !
I install phone tester on play store, and it seems that accelerometer stop working (it wait for data)
Moreover, i had the problem in Safe Mode (power on Button -> long press on Shut Down -> 'Do you want to restart in Safe mode' -> Yes)
I think if your screen didn't rotate in safe mode, the problem is not a third app.....
For my phone i will bring it to warranty tomorrow

This is another issue which looks to me like a software bug in the system itself.

You can try something else: on google map, is the compass working?
On my previous nokia 7 plus, both compass and screen rotation didn't work properly.
I just change it this morning on the shop i bought it, and the compass is working on the Nokia 7 Plus i had now
Hardly I have to calibrate often. I guess my device is broken so I will return it too.
The new one i obtain this morning already have the last version of android (8.1 instead of 8.0 for the first one), i think the second one was not from the same manufacturing batch.
I hope you will obtain a new phone or a quick reparation!
I got my replacement phone and after some testing I can say that the initial device was faulty. The new one does not show the problems mentioned.
