[Q] Backlight Notifactions dont turn off - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have this weird and interesting bug - the Backlights work properly for instance when using the menus and so on. But when it is supposed to blink (display turned off) it glows permanently. I have tried most settings available to me, ending up disabling the backlights to not drain more battery.
I have flashed various Roms (GIngerbread, MacKay 4.2, CM10.1, AOKP 4.1.2) and no matter how much I flashed and resetted the device, the problem stayed. I tried different kernel (up to Semaphore 2.6.6) as well.

What you could try is to download and install nstools from the market and there inside activate bln on the last site....or with bln pro, which is not free, it should be working too.

Thanks for the response. I tried NSTools with MacKay - no difference.
Buying BLN Pro and Semaphore solved the problem for me. Everything else did not work.

maybe they wontet it so you had to buy it

Which Mackay Kernel do you use? Because in stockkernel which is included in the rom, there is no support of BLN. Mackay has for JB separate Kernels, also for BLN:

and here is the kernelthread from Mackkay:

Edit: with semaphore it sould go....but to administate Sema, its better to use semaphore app (from the market) and not using NStools.

Overclocking kernel for CM 5.0.7/8?

Hello,
I´ve searched for a overclocking kernel for the latest CyanogenMod to increase cpu clock up to 652Mhz (or at least: to try it). I have found the "UNIVERSAL OVERCLOCK for ANY ROM-- Wifi Fixed Version 2.0.1".
It works, but wifi won´t start anymore. Are there other kernels to try?
The only one I've seen and tried is on droidbasement site, I think.

Same thing happened to me with that kernel... thatnks to a Nandroid backup I was able to go back to normal. Still looking for a god multitasking kernel.
I'm not sure why you're having a WIFI issue.
I am using a 5.0.8 ROM with the 2.0.1 OC Kernal on my MyTouch3G and it is working perfectly.
I also tried it with multiple Donut ROMS and it works perfectly. Maybe try a full wipe a reflash? Or maybe try a CyanogenMod Rom to test.

[Q] Darky's 9.3 ROM - BLN not working

After I've upgraded to Darky's 9.3 from 9.1 BLN notifications doesn't work any more.
If I use the test section of the app the LEDs light up with the screen off, but when I've got a missed call the LEDs stay off.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I have the same problem
using DarkyRom 9.5 and BLN stopped working after a few days.
I tried everything,flashed another kernel ,restored a backup (with full wipe before),but with no success
The LED test within BLN app pro works,but it wont work with sms/missed call afterwards...
Seems this problem goes beyond the two of us,as I found quite a few others with the same problem
but noone found a solution yet

Has it got anything to do with the app itself. Ask the author.

I dont have any SOD on my 2X with...

I am having difficulties finding ROM twhich is not SODing every 2-3 hours. I have tried:
[CM7][KANG][FEB25] temasek's KANG BUILD P204-69 - FINAL RELEASE
[ROM][MOD] WIUI 2.2.24 Stable (GB) v4 (ICS) b0 - MULTiLanguage
update-cm-7-20120226-NIGHTLY-p990-signed
w/ and w/o Etanas kernels.
With those ROMs I have:
after-call SOD
charging SOD
also there is "SD card not found" bug with CM7 roms/kangs.
Modaco's GR6 looks more stable. SODs are rare but with Spica's kernels it starts to behave similar to CM7.
So if you have stable 2X with no or very rare (rare = max 1 in week) SODs - please tell me - which ROM with which kernel (if any) are you using? Any other mods/settings/apps?
Thank you!

Every phone is different... but if your phone is like mine... you can install any GINGER rom based on STOCK rom. Not Cyanogen.
For example, v20q (the last version available).
You must change the baseband too. For example the 725 from v20q.
If you want to change the kernel, the R11-R from spica is great, after that, all versions have problems in some phones.
Regards!
Have you checked that is not related to one of the programs you have installed? I used to have SODs until I removed a battery saver I had installed, that is half a year ago and I haven't had any since then.
Just to be sure in the safe side you might try to use your phone for a whole week w/o any apps and see if that is the case.
BTW, currently I am using CM7 nightly build 204.
Cheers.
I'm on Temasek's kangs with various Vadonka's kernels - for quite a long time. No problms found. I cannot recall problems on other roms either (I used mainly MoDaCo ones).
How about doing the clean install, i.e. do a full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe, then install e.g. Temasek Kang #69. Just that - bare system. Then check if your phone is still unstable.
EDITED: the only app that you should install is GetRIL - to get your BB and RIL in sync. BTW, which BB are you on?
Some phones can't handle low frequecies (216MHz), you may change the lowest freq. with setCPU or an other tool like this. Maybe it helps.

BB is one more unsolved mistery - i cant understand - are all 725 the same or is there diference between them? i also tried that 1120 that was posted here on forums - that BB was buggy as hell for me so i went back to 725.

it might be software, but i am not using any battery saving apps. tho im installing the same software after every clean install - so this might be the case.

ill check it!
Thanks for the tips guys! First ill check Temasek Kang #69 without soft and will see what happens.
I use an older Temasek with IronKernel00. About 2 weeks old install? Never flashed another Baseband, i think i am on the stock(?) 725.
Not a single SOD. But again, never had a SOD on the stock ROM from LG, even in the Froyo times. Well, had a SOC when the phone were OC'ed to 1.55
Been using Temasek's kang for a while and it is quite stable. I'm on stock kernel as well.
Since you also mentioned that your device sometimes fails to detect your SDcard, I believe it could be corrupted. Have you tried formatting it? (make a backup first).
Sent from a galaxy far, far away...
I have been using the ICS Nova HD from the very start it went aviable for download and no SoD yet.
Hi. I had the same problems as you do when I was using Juice Defender with its profiles.
A month ago I deleted it and started using setcpu and I didn't had any SOD anymore.
Using tamasek's kang 69+ Vadonka's kernel
any more lucky cm7 users?
There aren't "lucky" users, sods are caused mainly by:
-radio errors: the phone shuts-off because baseband encounters a critical error, and kernel goes in panic. This is common in cm7 roms, because ril is closed-source (so radio commands are obtained via reverse-engeenering), so we don't know the exact commands and radio management. A normal phone usage should not encounter this kind of SoD. Juicedefender or Toggle2G tweak continuously radio settings (i.e. internet activation or 2G/3G switching), so in cm7 these app are not recommended.
-kernel panic: phone shuts-off because of a generic kernel panic. The main cause of kernel panic is a bad/aggresive-tweaked custom kernel, or UV/OC. An unknown cause of kernel panic happens sometimes during phone charging.
I DON'T RECOMMEND UNDERVOLTING, a lot of phone could not manage that. I had a lot of SoDs because of that.
If I wrote something wrong please correct me.

I haven't had any SOD yet. Use my 2X since last April.
Been on Stock, Modaco Fr19, Gueste v2.2, Gueste v3.1, Gueste v3.2 and am on Temaseks last KANG.
Tried different Kernels as well.
CM7 is highly recommended to be used with BB and RIL 218. Maybe this is the source of your problems.
If your Phone gets this SODs that often, I would revert to stock and return it.
Chances are high, that you will get a newer and bug free specimen.
if you use cm7 kang #69 and with etana kernel, i suggest you change the minimum value to 324 MHZ since it doesn't give me SOD at all. with my pimp my CPU configuration like this:
default: 324-1100MHZ.
idle / screen off: max & min 324 MHZ.
i don't Undervolt since it will give problem with my device. i guess i have the crap one can't undervolt

nah, i use the BB and RIL 0725 SEA
thanks for your advices. will check frequencies at start - then ill will start to mess with BBs and RILs.
I have found that this might be bb related issue soding my phone all the time. With 1120 and 1120 ril my phone is stable. No sods in week. I flashed back to 725 and i had 2 sods in one day. Also i had difficulties to find correct ril as with a lot of 725 rils i did had other problems. For know im using system in my sig and i am quiet happy.

You should consider trying Pengus' CM10 ROM. I don't think you can find more stability in custom ROMs than his
You'll love the ROM, just give it a chance
But remember to do a full wipe (wipe system, data, cache and dalvik) before flashing the ROM.
Edit: You'll also find out bluetooth works perfectly fine on his ROM where the more recent ROMs don't have this fully functional.
So theres no fix type what shoud i do ?
Baseband 1035,21_20121130 . Kernel 2.6.39.4
Strange, BSODs should be a thing of the past. In most cases it was the kernel. Are you sure you flash the latest ROM versions with latest Kowalski kernel? Try to flash KK after ROM. If it doesn't help, phrase describe the problem more thoroughly. When is BSOD happening? During call?

Kowalski Kernel bug - Sound recording not working or WIFI not working.

Hi,
I installed a custom ROM in my P990 and I got a problem which I'm pretty sure that's related to the kernel.
I'm using the new bootloader layout, CWM recovery 6.x.x and the problem is the same with any rom using the Kowalski kernels.
BTW: I am using Kowalski kernel from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097788
With the version M1, the sound recording crashes with any app that uses the sound recording modules (like the google NOW app or the sound recorder included in the ROMs). And with the Apha version the WIFI doesn't turn on at all (i've tried all releases including the last version kk-exp-127-alpha_31-newbl but without success).
I don't have other option but to go back to stock kernel. Anyone has the same problem?
For information: The roms I've tested were:
The ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2420304
Avatar Rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167192
Both have the same problem. Anyone?
Thank you in advance.
I think, you're using wrong Kernel. Download from Kowelski 3.1 kernel. Try with 32mb ram hack. I really don't think that 2.6 kernel works on these roms. Good luck
