[Q] Touch Buttons lightening

Hey all,
hope this is the right Thread for my post.
I've found out that the touch buttons of my device(Galaxy i9000) are lightening as long as the display is on.
On the device of my girlfriend the buttons are lightening only for 3 seconds then they turn off again even the display is still on.
We both have Froyo 2.2.1 XXJQ3 flashed over Odin. Nothing else is modded.
No rooting, no lagfix.
I know thats it's normal that the buttons are only lightening for 3 seconds, but my girlfriend wants me to set her mobile so it's like mine.
And I have the question why my buttons are lightening as long as the display's on and other phones of the users here not?
Hope u pros can help me again.
Greetz and thx

That's really strange...mine only go in in some apps, when I click them, our when I an typing but generally they are off...will look into it. Are you sure you both running exactly the same firmware?

I'm on the same firmware flached wit Kies (official) and mine is fine. If keep touching the screen, the buttons keep lightening but if after two seconds they are off.
flash the official version it's in kies

Hey guys,
Yeah I'm sure that we both have the same firmware, because I flashed them together. First mine then her's.
Today I flashed both to 2.3.3 and again my buttons stay on and her's not.
In my opinion it looks much better when they stay on as long as the display is on especially when it's dark, but im still curious whats the reason for this.
Still hope u can help me.
Thx and greetz

keep the lights on
Hi there,
I had exactly the same problem with my phone - especially annoying if you are
using phone in darkness.. App "keep the lights on" is a smooth solution..
Give it a try, step out of the dark
cheers

saving battry

I know that it saves battery but why the heck it doesn't do that on my phone?
Never changed something and I have to say that I really like that they stay on, but is there a chance that we can set up if lights stay on or not?

For me on XXJPK, while the app works, after I lock and unlock the buttons light up again so you would have to double tap the widget to turn the lights off every time... :-(

@markdj57
On JP3 and JPO works just fine - after turning the widget (and lights) on, I simply
throw the widget in trash and the buttons and display become one

XXJVK known issue/feature: Button lights are always on when screen is on.
However, this phenomenon should not occur on older firmwares.

Is there a simple fix yet?

Look at this post, worked for me and others.

I found that the app "screen filter" makes the soft key lights turn off after a couple of seconds when it's running, other than that I've never experienced it :/

before, i just have "startup manager", no other task manager
but, after re-strock (default, no additional apps) -> problem still exist.
is it hardware issue/problem ?
i'm re-strocking to new Asian firmware (JPE), problem still exist.
now, tryng BOCA (2.3.4).
any idea ?
Thanks

Did you install any 3rd party app recently? What app?
How about your battery temperature? Is it hot each time after its turn off? If yes, there is probabily your facing some hardware problem (main motherboard).

BOCA rom not help also.
now, tryng to downgrade to froyo.
i'm tryng to look also @ logcat, but i dont had enough knowledge on that one.
thanks anyway

after tryng several rom and check symptom collection, i had pre-analysis that maybe this is related to battery problem (or another chipset related).
dead gtab after going to sleep mode is always appear if battery < 50%.
if i try to power on again, gtab still ok and can operate until it's going to "sleep" again.
i'm going to service centre then.

Weird sound

Haven't anyone experience weird like me?
My phone suddenly make a sound like a door is opening in horror movie. Then, a laughing sound.
After I heard that sound, my screen was just black and I cant access my homescreen even home or power button were pressed ; it stayed like that till I have to long press power button to hard shutdown it.
What was that?
That time, I was on deodexed ramad jvr with standar black theme from pele with speedmod t10 kernel.
Anyone have this happen too?
My assumption was a virus/trojan was in my phone.

OMG...wtf was that?
Never heard anything like this ,looks like your phone got a ghost in it!
i would go and check it out for trojan immediately and reflash it make sure you had a backup already , if the phone's having more weird problems then try to get a more stable and good ROM+Kernel package!

There is no such app that will do joke like that right?
Already reflash my phone,
But really, I want to know what was that.
Maybe, cracked app, right?
Last thing I remember before it started to make sound like that is
1. 1st weird thing, my phone/dialer/contact/messaging icon were dissappeared from my drawer & dock. I cant receive & make call & sms ; the call & sms can come in, but nothing appear on my screen. So, temporary solution , I installed godialier/gocontact & gosms.
2. Then , I try to replace phone.apk and mms.apk manually using root explorer, but didnt help.
3. Try to restore from titanium backup also didnt do anything.
4. Because at that time l was in the office, so i just leave it like that with battery around 7%.
5. All of sudden, my phone which was in my pocket, give sound like that.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Sounds like a cracked/malicious/virus app.
I recommand flashing a complete new ROM to make sure you got rid of it.

Yes, I also thought like that. Already on new rom and scanned with 2,3 antivirus already.
Anyway, thanks everyone.
Just to inform, and beware of what you are installing.
But I'm still wondering which app did that. So careless of me.

I did a OTA up software update, and now, even though ive put it to keep keys lit at all time, it still goes off after a few seconds?any one else had this problem?

Got my phone today with 10d on it. Almost immediately got an update to 10f and exactly the same - the front key lights always turn off after what I believe to be 1.5 seconds, no matter how I set it

Hm...same here. Lights turn off after 2-3 sec.

Not exactly, no. That setting gives you the option of '1.5 seconds' or 'Always off' and only applies to how the lights work during Power-Save mode, not normally.
Nice try to make us look stupid though :banghead:

I'm not sure if you are intentionally trolling or just stupid.
It is quite clearly stated that setting to 'Always On' makes no difference at all.
Do you have v10f on your phone? Do you even have this type of phone?

Calling all owners. Is there anyone out there?
OK, so I have raised this with LG Tech Support and they are telling me that it is an "Isolated Issue". Here is the copy of my emails with them;-
ME: I purchased this phone yesterday in the UK. I immediately got an OTA update to v10f. With this version there appears to be a bug. The "Front key light" setting doesn't change anything. I want to set it to "Always On" so that the lights are on whenever the screen is, but the button lights still go out after about 2 seconds.
This appears to be a software problem as other people on the forums have reported the same issue.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
THEM: Based on the information you have provided me with, and after reading through your query, I would recommend that this is a standard setting on the handset unfortunatly unless in use the LED lights will power down, if you touch the LED lights they should illuminate again but unfortunatly there isnt a setting that you can change. Unfortunatly we are unable to do anything here at LG currently but we will raise this as a issue and you will have to wait for another update or bug fix if this is a software issue.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ME: This is definitely NOT a standard setting. Under software v10d this worked perfectly - as long as the screen was on, the buttons were lit up. The setting has the option of "Always On" and the fact that it doesn't work means that something is broken in the code. I have looked on XDA-Developers.com and found that I am far from the only person with this problem. There is also a partial solution which may point to the problem;-
"EDIT: OMG, changing the content of this file to 1 did fix it instantly! I'm not sure, if this app caused this behavior to happen but if anyone has the same issue, the exact location of the file is:
/sys/devices/platform/button-backlight/leds/button-backlight/br_maintain_on
EDIT 2: the file will be set to Ɔ' on each reboot, even with read-only permissions and when this app is not installed. It looks like this could be a firmware bug?
Maybe this will help - but at the moment I am seriously considering returning my phone and getting something by a different manufacturer as this is more than just annoying. Having those buttons flick off so quickly is a real nightmare when you are actually using the phone.

THEM: Based on the information you have provided me with, and after reading through your query, I would recommend that this appears to be a islolated issue, as said before i will raise a Voice Of Customer which means that i will be raising this issue to head office and they will read this and look into the case. Unfortunalty i must inform you that your handset is covered by LG for 12 months under warrenty but you will fully void this by changing the codeing or altering the data inside the handset in anyway, this will also mean that the LG engineers will not repair this as it will be deemed as rooted.
Click to expand...

Can anyone out there confirm that they are running v10f and that the screen buttons work correctly for them. It would be interesting to tie this down and see if it is a problem with all v10f versions, if it is location specific, or if it maybe only effects certain batches of the phones.
---------- EDIT -----------
Thanks to this post by k1337Ultra, it appears that this can be fixed by disabling and then re-enabling the Automatic Brightness. Hope this helps others - very annoying though to find the solution buried in a totally irrelevant thread
---------- EDIT 2 -----------
And it works after a reboot as well. Yippee!!!!!

Good news for that you have fixed your problem .. Don't blame me with that because I am using V10C firmware and it is superb with no problem on LED buttons

Thanks - it would also have been helpful if you had either;-
1) mentioned that you were using an old version of software
2) actually read the OP and my post, realised that we were talking about a problem only in the latest version, and realised that posting would be fairly pointless.

its nice to see im not the only one that has the issue!! similar to you, if I enable the auto brightness the buttons stay lit fine, soon as I put it back, it goes back to going off after a few seconds!very annoying given they are not real buttons so can be a pain to find, grrrrr!

I don't have your problem but I did have times yesterday where it would flash me black screens for no reason, for example when trying to close open apps, it would just flicker black for a bit. Haven't had that problem today though. I do however have broken Wifi at the moment, I can no longer connect to any network or access the settings without the settings freezing.

camera lag
I have the camera lag. when I open the camera app it takes complete a second or two to open. and if you open it from lock screen it takes for ever. well at least from the lock screen it was laggy on .569 too. other than that the UI is slightly slower and laggy than .569.
