Yesterday after installing a zip from UOTKitchen i noticed that my softkey lights would not turn off! Normally they dim after about 15 seconds but they would not turn off at all. Not only am i concerned about the battery life but it is also quite annoying. One more thing is that now the keyboard lights will not turn on! Any help appreciated!
What is uotkitchen?

This happened to me as well. I'd be very interested in a solution.
So far I've tried restoring old backups w/ data wipe, reinstalling CM from scratch w/ data wipe, and formatting the system folder from clockwork.
I've also tried changing the CM backlight display options as well as the automatic brightness and none of it is working =/
I tried changing ROMs completely (Pure Stock, GingerSense, etc) and it fixed the problem. But when I switch back to a CM ROM - regardless of which version - the problem returns. I can't explain why this is happening now since it worked before and why other ROMs fix the problem.
I've tried switching ROMs around noticed that the other ROMs are also exhibiting backlight issues although not as blatant as CM.
The sensor appears to work properly since the backlight is fine as long as the LCD display is on. So since this now appears to an issue with my /SYS files, is there a way for me to get a new version of them or something?
Any help would be great.

Checked out the files via ADB. When the LCD display is on, I can adjust the button backlights easily.
Once the screen goes off, I am no longer able to adjust the lights. The 'brightness' file is set to 0 (as it should be) but the light is very clearly on. Editing it to other values does not change the intensity of the light.
Since this seems to disprove that there is something wrong with the /sys files, I can only assume this is some weird hardware issue now. I guess it's back to T-Mo...
I've been using Light Flow for the last couple of days, but as of today my phone will no longer vibrate for notifications. The vibrator itself is perfectly fine - haptic feedback will still work and such and it vibrates on boot.
So, I figured the last Light Flow update that pushed out broke something. I backed up my settings, uninstalled it, rebooted, and expected my notification vibrations to continue working...
They didn't. I have it set to always vibrate both in sound settings and in all of my apps, but nothing seems to be working. I'm at a loss for ideas right now other then a factory reset. I am not rooted or unlocked yet, so I suppose it'd be a good chance to do it, but...
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Aha! I found the fix - for some reason, notification vibrations were disabled SEPARATELY from every other vibration. Like, not even in the apps. The application "Sound Manager" in the market was able to fix this.

Looks like you just beat me to suggesting using the app "sound manager". I refer people to this app after somebody managed to figure that out in the past.
Note lightflow itself only sends notifications to android to vibrate, there's nothing fancy going on regarding switching off vibrations in the app.
Yeah, I figured lightflow probably wasn't directly to blame since uninstalling it didn't fix the problem. I was just really worried about having to deal with a factory reset tonight, but I'm happy now!
Thank You

Thank you for posting this issue and your fix! I was having the exact same issue as you and could not figure out what the culprit was. Downloaded Sound Manager and found out vibration were set to off
Have any of you had problems waking your GN after installing LightFlow? I installed it after seeing this thread, and I can't wake my phone and have to pull the battery.

I just had this problem for the first time... I have lightflow installed.
Just tried Sound Manager V2, and set vibration to "vibrate whenever possible". Now all is well! Disappointing that this setting does not work in Android settings though.
I've only noticed this since running the August security updated and its happened across three ROMs so far (Screwed, Pure Nexus, LOS (No gapps)). Sometimes the screen takes for ever to power up. Once it is up the lock screens responsiveness varies greatly. Not always in the same instance as the screen issue but when unlocking the device it will momentarily freeze. Sometimes locking itself again..
Curious if anyone has seen anything similar.
How are you restoring your apps when you flash a ROM? If you restore them from a Google cloud backup you could be restoring corrupted data that is causing the problem. I had that happen when a utility app completely screwed up the scrolling on my phone. I did a factory reset but restored my phone from a cloud backup and the problem came back exactly the same. The next day I did another factory reset but set up the phone as new and manually downloaded my apps from the Play Store. This time the problem was gone.

I'm not sure if that could cause the same problem but presumably you are restoring app data along with the apps so it might be possible. Have you tried using the phone in safe mode to see if the problem still persists? It seems unlikely that what you are experiencing is a known issue with the August security update since we are more than halfway through the month without anyone else reporting a similar issue.

Yeah that would make sense if you are seeing the same thing. I may jump back to a known good build and see what happens
I had a very similar issue with tremendous lag in screen on and unlocking.
It turned out to be Kernel related, I was using Kirisakura Harmony Kernel, while it was happening to me, I flashed Franco R8 kernel and all is well.

So I was experiencing REALLLY SLOW screen turn ons. Like it could take 30+ seconds. But the phone was awake as my LED was on, and fingerprint haptic feedback.
When looking for solutions, I found this post. I use Auto Hide Soft Keys, to hide my status bar and nav bar when I dont need them. When disabling (and even after re-enabling), the problem was fixed (for now anyways)
Can you elaborate on this post? Do you have some experience with nav bar hiding causing slow screen turn ons?

Did you set:
Disable Ambient Display and any battery optimisation for the app.
Give notification access permission.
Guys who can't make it work, try turning on "Wake lock screen for notifications" option in lock screen settings.
After the last update it stopped working again. I've given it every permission, I've disabled ambient display, I've disabled battery optimization, I've locked it in the recent apps, I rebooted several times, nothing helped. I tried turning on and off auto brightness, wake for notifications, dt2w. I saw it working a few hours ago, but now again nothing. This is the last thing left to make this phone a normal phone.
I am now on Havoc ROM but ... on last 9.7.18 was all ok. Fully working.
For me doesn't show notifications for missed phone calls, MiuiEu.
I think Led Blinker is better and I will stay with Missed Notifications Reminder.
He wrote in first post: "Don't enable the LED for the "Phone App" as it will interfere when an incoming call is coming! Will fix this soon".
On Havoc is working fine and I have using too: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dan_ru.ProfReminder it is good combo.

For some reason I've never looked at blinker. Looks interesting and seem to work. Thanks!
Thought on battery life with this app? Works flawlessly however I'm curious on the battery life.

Same here. Not working at all.
Disabled ambient display
Enabled wake for notifications
Disabled battery optimization for the app
Enabled notification access
Chose a color for the apps I want
Nothing.
What rom do you have? On crDroid is all ok ... I am using every day.
Hey guys,
after trying several apps (e.g. NotifyBuddy) and none of them worked as I imagined, I found this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
It brings not only the possibility of an alternative AOD with icons or edge lighting but also a fake notification LED. That is exactly what I wanted. It works for me with fingerprint scanner deactivated but face unlock activated. Did not try with FOD so far. But I have it set to show Lockscreen on new message and afterwards show the fake LED.
I'm quite satisfied. But I have no long time experience. Just a few hours. So I can't tell anything about battery behavior
Xiaomi 9 SE 10.3.3.0 Global Rom
It worked OK after first install. Then I rebooted ...and it does not work at all. I have tried all the settings I used the first time and all the suggestions given in this thread, but I can't make it work again.
Same here. Any solution?
It does work perfectly . I'm using this app more than a month - no issues whatsoever.
Just add this app to exclusions in security panel , cleaner etc.
Check for the newest version which is 1.50 for today.
If you have any issues , just clean and uninstall older version and install fresh, new one.
Finally i have smartphone with "led" notification . No led was the only cons about this phone for me
I hope it will help you guys.
Ps. Red dot on screenshot is during charging , while i took screenshot , only then is possible to do it - in case if someone will ask to show other color
Ps.2. I'm on xiaomi.eu 11 Rom Dev , but this app also works on Masik Rom 8.5 .
Propably it works on any rom , settings is the key to make it work.
So been loving this phone so far, one of the most fastest phones I have ever owned, and great battery life.
So a few quirks.
1 I can't access or mount data while in TWRP, so I am unable to do a backup of my phone, or install images unless I plug in an OTG. I can try and check the data box in mount, but it will not check. I tried this with no security on the phone, and with security decrypted in TWRP.
2 When I installed Magisk I also installed the "ExSDCard Access Enabler" module. When I plug in the OTG to run Titanium Backup, both mobile phones have no service. And what is with the OTG Storage Switch in settings, does that do the same thing as "ExSDCard Access Enabler" module?
3 I am using Nova Launcher, and I am not able to display things like Weatherbug or Weather Underground temperature in the notification bar like I used to with all of my other phones?
Well that is about it for now, if anyone has any thoughts?
Regarding #3, I use Nova Launcher and Weather Underground, and the temperature icon shows in the notification bar. Maybe check the notification settings? Or the power consumption settings for the app in case it's "sleeping"?
Regarding #1, there is no TWRP for this phone. There is something being worked on that boots I think but doesn't actually work. I would go back to the stock recovery unless you are trying to do work on it. The problem, however, isn't with the OnePlus 7T specifically. It's Android 10. Even the Pixel 4 doesn't have TWRP as far as I know.

Is that the persistent notification, or the one in pull down? The pull down works for me.
I turned of battery optimization, closed the app, and cleared the cache, still not working.

You can boot twrp in ram, with "Tool all in one." That is how I installed Magisk. I wanted to make a Data backup of my phone in TWRP.
I guess I never did anything on my Pixel since upgrading to 10, I was not aware. And like you said, can't access Data in TWRP on Pixel either.
#2 works fine without the ExtSD module, I guess I don't need that. But still no mobile service with the OTG plugged in.

I don't have a status bar setting like that in weatherbug?
But I do in WU. The only persistent notifications I get is, Tasker and Google apps.

Here's the status bar notification setting for my Weatherbug Elite, does it look like yours?
I just realized that I'm no longer getting the temperature on my status bar either. Uninstall/reinstall and still nothing on the status bar.
I reinstalled my Weather Underground and the temp is there. Must be something broke with the last WB update. Unfortunately I can't locate Support on their website.

Great! That worked, thank you. :good:
I tried a different OTG adapter, and it did not kill my cell signals. I will find out later when I run Titanium Backup if stays that way.
Anyway to make the vibration more noticeable in this phone? I miss notifications in noisy areas.
Thanks
Seems weak vibrations are a common problem across the entire oneplus line up, lots of complaints in the Oneplus forums.
