Hi Guys!
I got a Galaxy S I9000B to replace my Galaxy Ace. As soon as I got it I flashed it with the latest CM7 nightly. I know there is CM9 and 10 for this phone but I had CM7 also on my ACE and I definitely love this rom and GB.
So far everything is great, this an old but really good piece of phone.
Anyways, I noticed something that on my ACE with CM7 didn't happen.
Everytime I have my phone locked (not using it) and receive a SMS text, besides notificating me with the ringtone and vibrate, the softkeys turns on and keep that way until I press the home button. I didn't wait much than 4 or 5 minutes, it might be some kind of notification that this CM7 has for the I9000B, and it might turn off if I wait more but I didn't try that yet. Also it might be a bug, I don't know.
The question is, do you guys know if this is normal ? It it does, do you know if there is an option to turn this option off or at least configure the time the softkeys are turned on ?
Thanks!
It is perfectly normal for your phone to do this:
The Galaxy S lacks a notification LED so the softkey LEDs are used to show unread messages or other notification.
Since I've never used CM7 I can't tell you if there is any option to change the duration, maybe someone else knows more about that.

Thanks dude! I was hoping to be normal since I didn't want bugs hehe.
I was kind of surprising since I have never experienced this behavior with my previous Galaxy ACE (which don't have any notification led either).
If anyone owns CM7 with this phone I would really appreciate if I can get some advise on this. Is there anyway to configure the time out for it or to disable it ? I have just received a text message and let the phone alone without touching the home button for 17 minutes and the lights were still there
Thanks!

Hi folks,
i cant really explain it better in the title, sorry for that.
Sometimes my phone acts pretty weird.
If it's in standby-mode and i press the Power-OFF/ON button to awake it, it takes like an eternity for the phone to actually wake up.
Same goes for the Home-Button at the center.
When there is an incoming call and i anwer it, i cant "close" the call by myself, because i simply cannot access the menu once the phone is in standby-mode when talking longer than 20 secs.
The strangest thing happens when I call somebody else: i cannot close that call e.g. when nobody answers, i have to push home-Button or On/Off-Button a thousand times in order to get a short response from my phone where i see the dialer menu for like 2 seconds...
Somebody got an idea?
P.S.: Is it normal that LauncherPro-Background is bugged in Gingerbread-ROMs? It sometimes shows a black background while only the dock shows the part of the background i actually set.
Regards.
Aww i really want to get these problems solved :/
I'd realy like a solution on that aswell, it's very anoying
Well the launcherpro bug is because ram memory is full and launcherpro needs to reload himself. I don't have the first problem on cm7, which rom do you use?
I was on Darkys 9.5 extreme edition when this problem occured. In addition to that problem also occured when i was on a doc rom - irealy have no clue why.
I am currently on Darkys 10.1 but couldnt test if the bug ia still there when calling or answering a call.

Hi all,
Basically on my P1000, the screen gets woken up whenever it receives a notification. I personally receive a lot of notifications from eBay night and day, so it gets pretty annoying very quickly.
What I would like to know, is that is there a way to prevent screen wake when reviving notifications?
I don't think it has ever done that on my HTC devices, so it must be something to with how Samsung implements it I guess.
I am on Overcome 2.0.0 RC1.
You help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
EDIT -
Or better yet, is there any app that would allow me to change the screen wake, sound, vibration, etc of each notification in the system? I googled and also had a look in the market, but couldn't find anything obvious...
I've the same room, and my tablet remains screen off when I receive something... mail, twitter, gtalk, whatsup...
Only the screens goes on when receiving calls... And this is normal

This happens to me aswell, but i dont mind so much, as i have my phone on silent most the time.
but you could possibly try and do somthing with tasker, but it would probably be uber hard
sorry to dredge up an old post, but was a solution for this ever found?
Running MIUI 1.10.7
The Capacitive buttons stay lit constantly, even when the phone is locked and the screen is off the buttons remain lit.
Might it have something to do with the bootloader I'm running? I had tried to load the i897 GB bootloader per the suggestion of someone else for another problem I was having. Anyway I can check which bootloader I'm running? And which bootloader is suggested? Links appreciated.
I should add, this was a new install. Because of other issues I was having, I flashed back to stock, flashed bootloader, then flashed MIUI. The button lights not shutting off has been apparent ever since first boot.
Thanks
I've never used MIUI so I can't say for sure, but this sounds like Backlight Notification (BLN). BLN uses the capacitive buttons like a notification LED since the Captivate doesn't have one.
If you clear all of your notifications and the lights go out when the screen turns off, that's what is going on. They'll come back on when you have a notification waiting.
hmmm... I think your right. They are off now and I don't have any notifications. Maybe it was recently implemented for the captivate, I don't recall seeing this the last few months. Thanks for the reply.

It was put in the new version of the platypus kernel.

That is a great feature, but how on earth do I turn it off?! The BLN app doesn't not do it (it gives me something like "BLN mod not installed")... nothing seems to work.
Good day,
after hours at searching for a solution i decided to post here, hoping someone can help me: basically the led notification of my i9000 doesn't work properly with Go SMS Pro; it starts just after the "reminder" option (so at least after 1min, vibrating).
I'd like to know a solution to this, if possible.. with handcent, right after the screen goes off, LED starts blinking (without vibrating): the same with gosmspro would be great. Tried to mess some options but didn't solve anything
Thanks
edit: don't bother, solved

Perhaps you could share the solution to help the next guy? That being me at the moment.
Hey all,
I'm running LPT since it's release, and it's been working great. However one thing I noticed since changing from GB is that GTalk notifications don't always work. Most of the time they do, but sometimes they just don't happen.
I have it set to vibrate and status notify, and when this happens, I'll either get a status icon only, or no notification at all. This gets annoying, especially when the phone is in my pocket, as I have to keep taking it out to check if I have messages.
Never saw this issue on GB... Anyone else seen this or have any ideas?
Thanks!
