reboot should fix it. If you cannot turn it off with the power button you can download Quickboot from the market or if need be do a battery pull
I rebooted and even pull battery the same I download a launcher I will uninstall maybe works

Was having same problem along with a few others, such as led blinking on restart, and docks not always working correctly. Just exchanged for new bionic and everything seems better with this one. It even had a different wallpaper installed on it right out of box. I thought that was interesting.

I found the solution.....the problem is when you use the hdmi cable :-( if somebody in the same problem I can post the link for the solution thanks all anyway
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
Im currently having this problem now too. I could see it being related to the hdmi cable because I do use that frequently.
Can you please share the fix if you found one.
Thanks!

Is your phone on the charger when this is happening? There a setting under Setup>Applications>Development that keeps your screen on all the time when the phone is on the charger.

I know it's technically solved, and unrelated, but I wanted to let you in on a related note.
If I manually shut my screen off on the charger, but then move a mouse connected to it, the screen will turn on.
Hey I have a nexus one that I'm trying to let my friend use until she gets a new phone but my problem is the digitizer doesn't work. So I was wondering if anyone knew of or could put together a rom that could make the phone somewhat useable with just the trackball
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
You could get by using cm7 ROM and tb.
Make sure to activate tb wake and tb unlock
TB?

Yea CM7 has pointer support
Ya that would probably work. Any ideas for a workaround for the four buttons at the bottom?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Download an app from the market called Button Savior
edit: that is so not going to work if the digitizer is busted,sorry
IIs there a way to lock the keyboard backlights on when the screen is on? Or permanently if there's no screen on option? Build.prop editing?
Thanks

Name calling might not be the best method for getting a helpful response. Just out of curiosity, why are you attempting to keep the keyboard backlit? Does your light sensor not work?

I believe by saying 'this' he was implying he'd like to find a way to do this as well.

I believe he's trying to say that he doesn't want the light sensor to control the keypad backlight. He wants screen on = lights on and vise versa.

I figured as much, I'm curious why you would want the keyboard backlight always on draining power, unless it was dark enough out that you are having trouble seeing the keyboard (light sensor).

Exactly. I've run into too many situations where the keyboard needs to be backlit to be seen, but the sensor either flickers the backlights on or does not turn them on at all and I can't see the keys. If I could get a screen on, keys on, mod for this, I'd be delighted.
There is an app called "Keyboard Backlight Controller" that accomplishes what you are looking for. If you don't want another app, it might be worth decompiling and using its code to mod your phone to accomplish the same goal.

I've tried this and it doesn't always work. Although it did manage to lock the soft key backlights on.
Yeah I just tried that app too, doesn't seem to work right. I did a quick search and found this:
A: The keyboard backlight can be controlled via /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness It appears that it's a simple on-off control (echoing '0' turns it off, echoing '1' or higher turns it on). For some reason, the default system backlight control stuff seems to set this to "83", but I don't know why. I can't seem to see any difference between 83 and any other number. The file is readable by anyone, but only writable by root, so you'll need root access to the phone to manipulate it this way.
Maybe this will be of some use to you.

Going along those lines, the D3 has 7 files in there, all of which as 0 bytes and contain nothing when opened through the Root Explorer text editor. The 7 are alt-key-light, blue, button-backlight, green, kpd_backlight_en, red, and shift-key-light.
So I'm assuming shift and alt are the keyboard indicators, red green and blue are the flashing indicators, button is the softkeys, and kpd is the keyboard.
Now I'm stuck.
I got the text above from wiki. After looking a little closer it doesn't seem to be relavent to what you are trying to do. After looking around a little more I think the problem your looking at is that the physical keyboard backlights are controlled by the light sensor. I don't think you can control the keyboard independently of the screen.

CM7 has this built in along with turning on/off the softkeys
Hey yall. After trying many methods of enable the soft keys which i really like my self, i finaly found out whats messing it up.
in /system in build.prop there is a bit of code which looks like that in the screenshot. my problem was i kept adding code when i simply needed to change the existing code to 0 instead of 1. as shown in the screenshot
also as you can see they work in the xda app. but the buttons dont work in any other app.
anyone know why? i tried changing resolution in build prop and nothing. so i need some help.
So again. My problem is that i cant get the nav bar to work all the time.
Okay um. Attempted to change DPI in build prop. It did work and change DPI but softkeys still only work on the xda app.
I'm thinking maybe disabling hw capatative buttons will fix the problem.

after doing some research, all i figured out was that i would have to decompile and modify the framework-res.apk...
even though i have experience with making apps, i get so lost in google's apps since they arent compiled with classes, its all pure xml and all of it doesnt make sense, so if anyone could, please, figure out what to do in the framework res, to make the nav bar work better, id be very grateful
you can find it at /system/framework
thanks
Well nice find so far! I really like the idea of on screen soft keys but what other use would it have that we can't get from the 3 hardware one's we've got? Does the screen feel crowded, because I imagine that with the thickness of them it'd be pretty cramped

Well you could give it a go and see what its like when running the xda app. Unless it works normal.
Um..screen isn't really crowded. Its about two status bars thick. Uses? Um...I know it has a recent app button. And if you're using a keyboard it will give you the option to minimize it. Other than that its just a nexus feel. And once you enable it you can use apps or xposed installer to have them minimized and you can toggle them like a status bar when ever you need it.

I never learned the difference but I guess. I never flashed any other ROM. I'm still on the one the phone shipped with.

Well an odexed ROM basically prevents any modifications to the firmware or any major graphic ui change but in turn opens apps faster so I'm guessing that's the problem
That could be the problem.
Stock ROM works really well on my device so I'm not changing it till we get cm.
But I'm just wondering why it won't let the nav bar be persistent, even though I addad a persist command to it. And only works on the xda app
Sent from my HTC first using xda app-developers app
I think I figured out the problem. The framework-res.apk manages the overall layout of android, I just need to figure out which if the 600 xml files does that and give the nav bar a bottom margin.

Major find or not I've found out that the app also works with wordrefernce.com it's an old app. I found out today in French class lol but for some reason the on screen soft keys don't work with the premium xda app. Also I should say that there seems to be a 1 second lag when pressing the on screen keys. Unlike the hardware ones that are instant. I've also got lag everywhere else in the phone.. Don't know if this is a side effect

I've managed to freeze my phone many times just going through the app drawer so...its not a side effect.
I actually get around 700ms worth of lag using hard keys so I don't feel a difference. But yeah for some reason the only work on some apps...
Personal opinion. If you want a nexus feel then you would use it. But its gonna tale a while till I figure out what's wrong. I'm still working with framework-res.apk at the moment

see, i sold my broke first and when i was doing a factory reset and testing to make sure none of my info was present, the nav keys became persistent
So to make the be active 24/7 you MUST DO a factory reset....or maybe just a dalvik wipe, but i did a full reset and they worked fine.
you need to write script (i don't the commands) to enable it after qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Auto Hide Soft Keys 's Spoof Soft Keys option can enable it via hack, so there is a way to activate it on boot when it doesn't show
so, my front soft keys somehow disappeared, and I cant get them back; in the settings menu, there is no longer an option for them, and I have no clue how they went away...
any suggestions?
I uninstalled xposed framework, and gravity box, in case that was the issue,and have rebooted many times, but still not there..
thanks!
Not sure if you can or if it would help but did you try another launcher? Maybe a reset but not sure if that would even work.

Is your expanded desktop on from xposed?
Try factory reset as your last resort. Did you mess around turning them off with xposed?

-tried a different launcher, and it didnt work
-re-installed xposed, and gravity box, and made sure expanded desktop was OFF, and it didnt work
-rooting had nothing to do with it, as I rooted a week ago, and everything was fine until last night
thanks so much!
This is one of the reasons I've been leaving my Flex stock til we get a recovery. I know with the G2, zips were made to shrink the keys. Not sure if you could even get them back if you had a zip like that. Maybe you can search G2 threads and find a way. Sorry I can't help ya.
yeah, I even did a factory reset just now, and they are still not there; even in the settings menu, the "front screen buttons" entry is gone..
I guess I'll take it back to T-mobile today and tell them I want it replaced..its only 11 days since I got it, so it shouldnt matter..
I cant imagine rooting had anything to do with it, since I rooted a week ago, and its worked perfectly until it just went out last night

Before you do that you should try restoring with wolfgart's thread downloads. If you're going to be changing stuff, its good to know how to fix a brick.

i thought about doing that, actually, but it was alot easier to just return it and get a new one today.
If it happens again, which it better not, I will try that.
I think Gravity Box was the culprit, after reading through the 500+ pages of that thread; it seems to play havoc at times with soft keys, so users beware..
That was one of the reasons why i was debating on getting this phone. Nothing beats a physical button.(that works...)
