Dim Hardware buttons - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

My hardware buttons stay on very dim all the time even when the screen is off and the left phone button flickers when the keys are fully lit. Ok I can send it back but no way will I settle for a refurb. Any suggestions?

Soft keys dont turn off!!!

On my new Galaxy S 2 the soft keys are not turning off completly, they are staying on, even when the phone is sleeping the keys are dim. What can this be?
So apparently no one else has this problem or a solution for it. Am i out of luck?
When you go into the touch key light duration setting in the display settings, what does it say? If it's at like 6 seconds but still stays on forever then something is wrong. Try a factory reset. Failing that, warranty exchange fo sho.
Related side note - when I use Netflix, my soft keys stay lit up the whole time. There is no words that can illustrate the frustration and annoyance at this little "feature". It's bright as **** in a dark room trying to watch a show.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
But what's happening is that when the screen is on the touch keys work as they should, but when the screen turns off the touch keys remain turned on in like a dim state. Very wired!

2 of 4 capacitive buttons have no backlight.

My defy's capacitive buttons works fine. But 2 of them simply doesn't have a backlight.
I tried to change my rom (From MIUI to WakjUI) with no sucess. I guess the lights are somehow broken... But that's "fine", not big deal.
Deal is... They are ugly the way they are ordered. Only the Menu and the search buttons have backlight. The home and back buttons don't. I tried to use RootDim to disable all button's backlight, but whenever I lock the screen, their backlightlight just get back to normal.
Any sugestions? Any alternative would be accepted, and i really like the idea of dimming those backlights.

Note 5 with serious issues: Screen dim (Almost unreadable), battery icon center

I was given a Note 5 to fix. I do not know the history of the device. If a Android update was attempted or why it is needing to be fixed. It presented with a very dim (almost unreadable, except in completely dark room) screen. I have wiped cache and master reset the device. I can see that the powered off battery icon is center screen all the time and it is solid black. I cannot power it off via the normal power button but I can power it on. I can power it off using the power button + volume down. The touchscreen is responsive and not cracked or broken at all. The back, multi and home buttons react normally to touch and light up. When plugged into power or PC, it does charge and will show a red LED when charging and a green LED when battery is full. The sounds are normal as far as I can tell. I cannot get the screen to change when I swipe or press a center button. I was able to get a picture of a begrizzled man peering closely at the phone trying to figure out what the hell the problem is. So, softwarewise, some of it seems to be working. But, I cannot figure out the dim screen. Like I said earlier, there no cracks or even scratches in either glass, front or back. The bottom portion of the stylus is broken, but I was able to use a tiny phillips head to stick up in the open area and it working. I get a sound and vibration when it is removed and inserted.
Any ideas?

For some reason when the phone detects that the battery is under 5%, it will forcibly dim the screen until it is charged above 5% or plugged in. Maybe the phone thinks that the battery is at or below 5%. Have you tried plugging it into a power source to see if the screen lights up?

Update #1 - Somehow, without knowing how, I managed to turn on an Accessibility option for the phone to tell me what buttons or actions I have taken. Unfortunately for it is in Spanish. I guess I should have taken Spanish in high school...

Yes, I have plugged it to the wall, I have plugged it to my PC and I have wireless charged it. It seems to charge to full as the red LED turns green.

Lg g3 screen stays black after reboot, but responds to touch

My wife's phone looked completely dead this morning, so I pulled the battery and then rebooted. The led did its usual start up pulse but the screen remained black.
Double tapping to wake, then tapping the centre of the screen where login field is, then tapping where the keyboard is, results in haptic feedback, but the screen never turns on from black.
Tried holding down + power to boot into recovery, but no idea if it works. No response from the screen.
Anything I can try? :crying:

Its the faulty motherboard chipset issue, same as me.
Take the phone apart and place a piece of plastic or something on top of the display ribbon connector underneath the battery. That solved this problem for me.
Seems to occur because the board in the g3 has too much space to flex etc in general usage.

Weird problem with screen/power button

Background -
I bought this OnePlus 5T with a smashed screen to fix.
Paid 70 bucks for it plus the screen is just shy of 150 in total.
I was able to replace the screen and frame which was a little more complicated than I anticipated, but it ended well and the phone seems fine, although the screen quality isn't as good as stock.
***Problem - it seems that for unknown reasons, after turning off the screen pressing using the power button, screen becomes black and won't turn on, not until i hold the power button for ten seconds and restart the phone the hard way. Then the phone turns on and starts working again, but if I turn the phone off with the power button then it won't turn on again. I can tell the phone is working behind the black screen, vibration working, notification light working. But Everytime I turn the phone off with the power button I have to hard reboot the phone to get it back on again. Once this starts happening I have to factory reset to get the power button functioning normally again. It will work normally for a day or two and then out of no where the issue comes back again after pressing the power button - screen won't turn on.
Could it be software? I know it might be natural to suspect the screen is faulty, but the screen works normally until I use the power button to turn it off, and then works normally again for a couple of days after a factory reset ...
Thoughts ?
