My home, menu, search, etc keys are not lighting up anymore. I tried restarting the phone to see if it would get em lit up agian, but no luck. I can go into Settings > Display > Adjust Brightness, but whenever the phone screen locks they go off again until I do the above again.
They were lit up fine until I tried to enter CWM recovery by holding power and vol down.
Phone is rooted, 2.3.4 update, stock rom.
EDIT: I have no idea what I did to fix it but it's fixed now =/.

its a known bug, usually after charging it will go back to normal. nothing serious.
Hold the phone up to a light while the screen is on. It can be anything from a flashlight to a computer monitor.

Go to Display. take the check-mark out and reboot. Then put the check-mark back in and reboot again. Hope it works. Its a GB thing!

This is the best solution I've found for this problem. Flash a light onto the phone censor. Or just hold your phone up to a bright monitor like he mentioned. Fixes it every time. You'll probably have to do this every time you reboot because that's usually when the problem reoccures.
if you add the brightness widget to one of you screen and then use it to adjust brightness, it will light up the buttons

With both GingerFusion and DreadGinger I seem to have the issue that when I turn my screen off or it shuts off on its own after being idle the lights on the 4 Soft Keys stay on and take an extra few seconds to turn off, which wouldn't be a big deal by if that was all, but once they turn off they keep flicking on and off every few seconds (like every 5 to 10 seconds) which is hella annoying. Anyone else experience this and if so is there a fix. Or does anyone have any ideas on How to fix it. I have tried wiping cache and dalvik cache as well as re-flashing the themes all to no avail. So if someone could help me fix it. I would really appreciate it. I hella dig these themes and would like to use them. But that flickering on and off repeatedly is straight up annoying.

2 ways you can fix it. Either hold your phone up to a light source (computer monitor or other light source).
Or, press and hold the power button, then select "power off" instead of reboot. Power the phone completely off, then restart the phone.
A little tip to avoid that happening again:
After you flash a theme or ROM, instead of selecting "reboot phone now" in the Recovery menu, select "Power Off." Let the phone turn completely off, then turn it back on.

hey i got a question, lol
on a stock zvc rom i used on LG Esteem (similar to revo) i made like 1 or 2 theme tweaks with framework-res.apk, services.jar & LGHome.apk... i seem to have an issue where i hold power for menu, select power off. but phone just reboots to boot animation than powers on rom again..
i only switched out statusbar_background.png in framework, added transparency line to services.jar (which seems to be working) and swapped LGHome.apk with version from zvb(previous fw update prior to zvc) so do you think it could be related to any of that, or is it just an actual problem with the rom..? thank you for any help..
I just attempted to root my Galaxy Note using the instructions found on the development forum and I thought everything went well. Now, however, once the phone starts it wont turn on again - if I press the power button the screen back light comes on but thats it. I have to remove the battery to restart it, but then the same thing happens again. Any idea how to fix this?
Will it go into download mode if so flash a stock rom with odin

Power off your phone - take out your battery if necessary and wait about a minute, then put it back in.
Press volume up + home + power and hold, see if you can get into Recovery.
If you can, wipe cache, dalvik and do a factory reset.
Try to reboot.

I did all that and everything went through, same problem though after reboot - once the screen turns off, hitting the power button only makes the back light go on and the screen itself doesnt seem to turn on. The phone seems to function "as normal" - it even reboots fine - until I have to turn the screen on using the power button after initially booting it up.

If that's still the case, I'd try to boot into download mode and flash a stock rom (as was suggested above).
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note
SW: Factory ROM 4.0.4?
Problem: Unable to 'power up' the screen.
Details:
Was using the phone yesterday. It was working fine. Until at night when I tried to wake the phone. The graphics on the phone began to become pixelated badly, brightened till the whole screen was white. Fearing that it will spoil the screen, I pressed the power button for it to go into sleep mode. When I try to wake the phone, it just remains black. However, when I press the Volume +/- buttons I can hear the phone reacting to it normally. It could even take a 'screen shot' of itself. The Voice Command option is also working. After a long time, (hours involved), I was able to wake up the screen for like 5 secs. Before the pixels and brightening effects comes on.
Request:
1. Is it possible to activate USB Debugging without using the setting menu?
2. If I send the phone back to Samsung for 'servicing', will all my data be lost? (Whatsapp, Skype, conversations)
Regards,

In my country if you bring your device to the samsung service center for repair, they will dlete the user data.

Just started having problems with the display backlight not turning on when I push the power button. The phone is waking up. If there is a very bright light in the room I can see that the screen is working but there is no backlight. Sometimes it works fine. Sometimes it lights up as I push the button then goes black as I let go of the button, then I can hear it relock after a few seconds. I tried taking it apart and cleaning the power button with some compressed air which seemed to help for a few days, but then got worse. :crying:
Update: so after performing the EB40 mod I have not had the problem come back in six days.

Hi,
My note 8's screen got damaged a month ago, but
from past two days the power button seems to be
unresponsive.
I have to press it atleast 10-15 times for my screen
to wake up.
Even if the screen doesnt turn on by a single click,
the usual touchscreen functions still work.
Ex: I can still open the particular app by clicking the screen
on the specific area.
Kindly help.

There's nothing any of us can do to help you when it's a hardware issue like this. You need to open the back of the phone using a heat gun to loosen the glue and then take the power button out and replace it with a new one.. There's nothing else that can be done and I would suggest that you not shut the phone down or let the battery die out because then you may not be able to turn it back on until you get the power button taken care of!

Hi MrMike2182,
Thanks but let me elaborate the issue.
The power button seems to be working fine because it takes approximately 10 to 15 clicks to turn on the screen (sometimes 1 or 2 click)
Let's say that I click the power button and the screen doesn't turn on, the screen functions work fine despite showing black screen.
Ex:
1. If I click on screen location where samsung music is placed and open it, and if I and click on the location of the play button, it plays the music just fine.
2. If I click on the restart button when the screen is black (not turned on), the phone does restart. The Samsung logo lits up just fine. (Mensing to say, the bootup process is not affected)
Also, note that if I successfully manage to turn on the screen after clicking the power button 10-15 times and if I put it to sleep again. I can easily turn on if I click the power button immediately (within the span of 2 seconds).
The problem persists only if the phone is kept I'd for 5 to 10 minutes.

Ok based on what you said now I don't believe there's anything wrong with your power button and when you press it and the screen doesn't turn on, in reality it actually is on and it's possibly damaged which is why you can still use the screen functions with the black screen. Whatever type of damage you say happened to it could be causing the backlight to not work but the screens touch function is fine.. Try rebooting into recovery mode and select to clear the phone's cache only and see if it helped anything.. If it doesn't help anything it's pretty much a screen hardware problem and you'll still have to get into the phone's internals..

Since the factory reset didn't work, then unfortunately it really is a hardware issue.. I think you need a new screen..
I have the official led cover case, just opening the case will turn the screen on... Just a temp fix until you can get it repaired maybe.
