After getting the DaBomb ICS Themed ROM installed everything was going great, it's smooth and fast. But when the screen times-out, when it goes a little dark but everything is still viewable, I touch the screen to bring the brightness back up so it doesn't time out fully. When this happens, the screen becomes black and the buttons on the bottom are lit like the screen is on. When I touch the screen nothing happens but I can feel the haptic feedback as if the screen is still active. Only way for the screen to come back on is to hit the power button and then again to bring up the lock screen display. Anyone else experience this?
You should post this in the dev section of the ROM.. trich would be able to help you out more there.

I'd like to but I don't have enough posts to post it there. I'll DM him to let him know though.

My touch keys (soft keys) never turn off. Even when the phone is off. When the screen is on they work as they should, meaning that they do turn off completely after not touching the screen for a while, but as soon as the screen turns off, the buttons turn on, and not full brightness but dim. This happened when i started deleting bloatware, but i have already installed different roms and same problem happens. What can i do? Are there any drivers that i should check for the backlight of these buttons?? PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Do you have a text message everytime you see em light up? You might have BLN on... What kernel u running?

Sorry about that. I already did, but since the developers are always hanging around here i thought i would get luckier.

Check your display settings. There are options for the soft button lights including "always on."
Even when i put the setting for always off, they would stay off when im working on the phone, but i soon as i turn of the screen the touch keys come on and stay on in a very low dim.
is there any piece of code i can flash to force the touch keys to turn off?
This is for development only.not Q&A or any general.mod please move

Has anyone figured this out? Same thing is happening to me and it's annoying.
It's probably your imagination. The brightness from the screen cancels out light (the light that actually is reflecting off the buttons, not coming from the buttons) coming from the buttons when they are "off" as you use the screen and instantly or slowly come into vision as you turn the screen off. When you turn the screen off, there is no light to cancel out the light (sun's rays) coming from the buttons and you can see them. To test, go into a room with no light at all and turn the phone off. If the dim light from buttons are no longer visible, then it was just your imagination.
You dug this out the grave
Me? I just tought I'd put my thoughts and observations out there and help the guy. I didn't dig up any thread if you are talking to me.

Thats how i knew the lights were staying on, cus when i went to sleep i noticed the lights were still on. This is not visible if there's other light sources around you because the buttons light up very dim. You only notice in a completely dark room.
Did you change your settings? If that didnt work, try taking it to a tmo store.

This is the second time on 2 different roms that somehow my phone has been stuck with a black screen and when unlocked the screen stays off. Its a bit hard to explain but pressing power lets the screen to come on for just a second but then it goes off...yet on the black screen you can slide it unlocked (screen stays off) A reboot goes back to the same issue. after many button combos the screen will finally stay lit. The only way I have found to cure it is to uninstall lightflow. (Im really not sure thats what is causing it) If you dont change anything when you lock it your right back into the black screen thing..... Anyone seen this using lightflow or not??
I've had this problem to. I had it when I was using the phone on stock without lightflow, as well as using it with HD revolution and light flow. I have no idea why its doing this though?
I had this problem when I used the app "Wave Launcher". I found the most effective way to keep the screen on is to call the phone, stay in the call, and uninstall the app..

Are you running the 350 mhz idle mod or UVing? Seems like your phone isn't getting enough juice.
I emailed the dev's a few days ago. They came back with the response to uncheck "s6e8aa0 control", which I believe is disabling access to the main screen. I haven't seen the sleep of death since. He also said to look for a future update which removes this option.
Hope that this was a helpful first post!

I have the same problem today! When light flow is active the screen goes on for a second and then stays black.
Sadly I can't find "s6e8aa0 control" in the newest version. Can anyone help?
Got it working. I should use the correct settings^^
But the program is not working how I would like it :/
When you push the power button and see that your screen is inverted, then.... with the screen still on, hold your phone tight and give it a hard flick of the wrist. This has worked twice for me.
Running Calkulin's 2.6, Overstew's ICS AIO, Launcher Pro
Is this working for anyone running different setups?
can anyone verify that I wasn't drunk when I wrote this? The wife says I didn' t do anything today but get ripped. I told her I helped a lot people...just not her.
I have had the screen invert once... I just rebooted...
I have also had my entire screen go magenta for some strange reason...
The screen "appears" to be inverted... but it isnt... at least not to the phone. unlock the screen with the same manner you always would even though the visual cues are wrong. What ever lockscreen you are on, just do the same motion again. then once in the normal home screen, rotate it around a few times and it corrects itself.
I know exactly what you are saying about being inverted but still fully functional....giving a shake a shake with the snap of the wrist solved the issue without playing games.
Download Spare Parts from the market and set "Window Animations" to "Fast." Haven't had the screen inversion problem since.
i had it one time and and using adw pro all i need to do is rotate my screen and it resets the orientation
Hi,
I don't know what's going on with the screen of my one-v...
well I press lock button, so screen goes dark, but after a while it lights up for few seconds showing me lock screen... then it goes dark, and after few second it does it again.
after 2 times it stops, but it is annoying when you put phone on the desk, that it glows so you start to think about coming call or text.
what's going on?
lolsss..
haunted maybe

haha well hopefully not
I thought at beginning that it could be caused because of apz running in background but I have double checked - there are not any

have you tried factory resetting?
Are you using an app like Keep Screen?
My friend had a similar problem when she used the Keep Screen app.
Have you received an update?
Try using another locker like GO Locker or Magic Locker. Inform if it happens again.
strange thing, but it magically stopped happening
That may due to your brightness settings which is set to "Automatic" by default.
well it was too early for me to say that problem is gone... it happens again today ;/
I have fixed level of brightness, no apps except battery life working in background... all newest updates installed.
any ideas?
Is anyone having dimming problems with there screen? For instance, when I'm on the browser, and want to swipe the screen upward with my finger the screen dims out right when I slide my finger without even messing with the brightness slider. It happens even on FB. The only way to bring up the brightness back is to turn off screen with the power button and back up or move the slider on drop down.
Anyone having this similar problem? Thanks.

I have issues where the screen doesn't adjust based on ambient light.
I am assuming you dont have auto-brightness turned on, do you have the same issue when it is on?
I haven't tried that. Bit its the screen that dims down by itself when I touch the screen. I did a factory reset when I was NF4 and update to NF9 and the problem is still there.

I don't know if this is the same as yours, but few times, when screen is close to it's time out, it dims to tell me so, now if I want to keep screen on I would swipe or touch it, most of the time it will go back to normal, but in very few cases, count down timer will reset, so the screen stays on, but the brightness doesn't come back, screen will stay at low power and I need to double click power button, to turn the screen off and on to get back proper brightness. It's very rare, haven't seen it since my update to NF9 week ago, but I've seen it. No big deal since it's rare and easily fixed with double click. If your problem is not time out related, then I have not seen it. Either way I would speculate it is software related, somehow screen brightness register is improperly or not updated at all. It doesn't bother me at all, but if it was I would probably try factory reset after full backup.
