Issues with CM9 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I just got my S II a few days ago and I flashed CM9. I've noticed the soft key back light is messed up and won't turn on after I get a notification, I read a post where someone suggested an app but that didn't work for me. Does anyone else have a suggestion? Is there a similar problem with other AOSP roms? Thanks

I am running Cm9 stable and I haven't had any issues, make sure its enabled in settings/display and play around a bit with the settings. Otherwise I would recommend a reflash. That is all I can really think of.

Its actually pretty much a common issue. With both CM10 and CM9, i had only heard of it being perfect on AOKP ICS. I too had this, i ended up disabling BLN due to a wake lock drastically draining the battery. I miss the old static BLN cause that didnt use a wake lock. It just woke it once to allow them to come on then went back to deep sleep.

Well I installed AOKP ICS, and it works like a charm with the exception that it still doesn't really work with BLN but I didn't realty care much for that.

[Q] No haptic feedback ("vibrate on touch") in Galaxy Nexus

Hi everyone,
I've looked for a solution all over the net, but seems like no one had this problem before (guess i'm a special girl...):
The vibrate feedback when touching the screen just stopped working, in spite of the settings under "settings -> sounds -> vibrate on touch".
It started after an update to AOKP rom - milestone 5 (based on ICS 4.0.4) + Franco kernel nightly r151, but effects all the other roms. Maybe one untouched system file damaged.
I've tried everything: restore from previous nandroid backup, another rom (CM9), another kernel, another launcher, I even wiped everything and flashed new and clean rom-stock from google developers' page. And yet - no vibrate feedback.
The wired thing is that the haptic feedback is working in few specific applications, like the build-in ICS keyboard and the dialer Dialer-One, so it probably not some hardware failure.
All this time there are five softkeys that still have haptic feedback: the buttons of the nav-bar, the button that opens the applications drawer and the google-search widget.
I've tried using "KickBack" instead, but it's too aggressive and very uncomfortable.
PLEASE, PLEASE - Help me!
Same thing happened to me. I had the exact same setup and the haptic feedback went away after I flashed the kernel. Since I've had lots of issues when trying custom kernels, I just restored a nandroid and went back to the kernel included with aokp.

Restore fixed my issue, so I'm not sure exactly what to tell you.

I've seen some ppl's msgs that even simple reboot fixed their vibrate problem.
Didn't work for me, unfortunately
Some kernels have haptic adjustment, see pic for kernel does.
I'm running Franco 152 and mines fine.
I know trinity kernels lower it

I'm also using Franco kernel, but I don't think this is the problem because i've tried some other kernels and none of them fixed my haptic.
Hi TaliKa
I've just had this problem myself but it happens long after I flashed aokp m5 + franco r152 (too) so I'm not exactly sure what caused it. However after I went to clear my cache and dalvik cache, everything seems fine again.

Thanks guys, but as I wrote in the first msg, those actions didn't help.
Is there any pro here who can offer a profound solution that I didn't tried before?
Which system file responsible for the haptic feedback?
Guess I'll have to stuck without haptic feedback...

just wanted to say...exactly the same thing happened to me (started with aokp milestone 5 and vibration gone afterwards...)
im trying several things to get it back...i use it alot (at work and most of the time..its on vibrate)
hopefully we'll find a solution
Yeah this just happened to me too. It was working fine for awhile on AOKP and then all of a sudden it stopped. No idea what happened exactly. I tried whiping everything and restoring CM9 but that didn't work either. I thought maybe hardware but the phone vibrated on boot so it isn't that. Hopefully we find a fix...

im starting to believe its a hardware issue (well at least for me) i mean i dont even get a vibration upon booting or turning off the phone...and i even went back to full stock...same thing
maybe it might have been some software issue that led to the overburning of the motor(doubt that though)
what is weird though is that the same scenario happened to us so im lost...
maybe i should start talking to samsung for my replacement
meanwhile...im very open to suggestions that might help my case
hope we find something soon...u guys, does it vibrate at all?when u turn on ur phone?turn off? unlock ?

Yes, it vibrates at boot and also when using application with it's own vibrate settings, like "dialer one" for example.
Did you try using KickBack just to check the hardware?
if it's some hardware issue, maybe you can apply to your warranty supplier about that, just flash stock rom and relock your device before.

Good to know. I went ahead and flashed the base image and it restored vibration, then I rooted and flashed AOKP again. It worked for about that day and then this morning when I woke up the vibration is gone again. I'm almost positive it's AOKP's software. I'll test another ROM (Android Revolution) for a day and see if it happens again.

CyanogenMod 9.1.0 Hercules Backlight issue

hello i recently flashed this version of cyanogen-mod on my Samsung s2 and am having an issue. First of all, i used a non-touch CWM but it was confirmed to work as long as you use super swipe, so i did that and it worked no problem. However the back-lighting on my buttons will not come on. It is not broken because it sometimes works but mostly does not. i am wondering if there is a fix or a setting i need to use to get it to work.
Thank you

have you tried "settings > advanced > sensors" and checking the backlight and notification settings?
yes I have tried it, it fixes the issue but once I lock the phone and then unlock it it does not work anymore.

i think ill just re-flash to dark-side evolution. can you please explain to me what the MD5 keys mean since there are like a few download mirrors and i an not sure which one to get.
i am having this problem on every version or CM9 past RC2 and CM10 i really would like a fix
i looked into this a little and it seems that it's a problem from the moment you turn off the screen until the first hard light timeout afte the screen is turned back on
Apparently the bug is also in Miui and AOKP

[Q]A bug in eugene373's PLANE JANE ICS ROM?

NOOB HERE
Hi, I am using eugene373's newest PLANE JANE ICS ROM, the whole system seems to me is perfect, except the one issue about the touch keys backlight. Sometimes those four keys do not light up even I already unlock the screen, may have to wait for 15-30 seconds, then the backlight comes up. But sometime it works good. So I am just wondering is there any other this ROM users have same problem about this?
Its a little bug, everyone's got it. It'll probably be fixed soon.

Thanks for telling me that. I already had flashed the rom more than five times!! I thought that only because I installed something affect the lights.

Installed Rom.Everything seemed to work fine.But i could not get Talkatone working that what i use mostly.
Anyone else having this issue?

Tired phone wont wake!

Ok so I've been using a few different versions of the CM10 ROM and I've noticed a new problem. On occasion, when I go to wake the device, it will not wake. The keys light up, but thats it, the screen doesn't come on. The only way to get it working again is to hold down the power button and wait till it restarts. It's happened twice so far, not too frequently but annoying none-the-less.
Is there something I can do to fix this?

Nah, I'm mostly just giving you a hard time The CM10 nightly thread has gotten to be a beast to look through; seriously though... that problem is pretty old, and like you said; the only way to get around it is to hold power or do a battery pull. Just wait until you have an alarm go off in the morning and you can't turn it off!
Try the 2013 nightly, it does not appear to have this issue

Maybe not, but it probably has other issues instead!
I can confirm that these issues still exist in the NIGHTLY (1/20) version. Just had it happen. Doesn't appear to be quite as frequent, but definitely still happening. I think it MAY have something to do with notifications, not sure though. Seems to often happen when I get a notification, I'll go turn it on and it wont wake from sleep.

4.2.2: Bluetooth won't turn on

OK, I have Odin'ed twice, and wiped the poor little phone so many times I'm gonna need to use Desitin. It does not matter, I have pretty much tried every 4.2.2 ROM out there, and although I have had one or two that I could initially get bluetooth to turn on, even those would fail to do so after a few hours. I've tried rebooting with it on, rebooting with it off, does not matter. The last few AOKP and CM nightlies as well as Jedi, it will not even turn on. I have seen a few folks state somewhat similar issues, but I am getting that it is not pervasive for the community. Does anybody have any ideas as to a fix, or, even any ideas as to what causes it, so maybe I can play around with whatever and try myself? Or, best case-scenario, did anybody have the issue on ROM ABC and discover that by switching to ROM XYZ it was fixed? I'm not updating my sig because it changes multiple times a day anyway, but I am back to CWM 6.0.2.7 from TWRP if that variable matters at all. Same situation whether on stock, Cerux or ASD kernel.TIA...

I works on the 2/26/13 Nightly of CM10.1. You wanna try and clean flash it? If it doesn't work then it's just a problem with your phone hardware instead of the software. Might be a buddy bluetooth adapter or such.

Fingers crossed, so far so good. I reinstalled Rootbox which is awesome. I changed from CWM back to TWRP and also installed Cerux 1.42 which in the thread made mention of the bluetooth issue being fixed, and being kernel, not ROM related. I am using crossbreeder which makes things crazy fast. I saw the "nos script" in some thread but couldn't find it with a Google search. Do you have a link for it and what exactly does it do?
Edit: Crap. it went away. Oh well, back to 4.1. Hellybean it is. I just don't get it. BT works fine on any 4.1 or ICS ROM. Only thing with 4.1 is music skips in my music player but I can live with that, I can't live with no BT. Thanks for your help. Maybe when source drops it will be all good.
Does ithe bt button turn on then instantly off when you press it? This happened to me and i went into recovery and wipe dalv n cache.. Worked perfectly after
Or i saw this post. Not sure if itll help

Well, what seems to happen is it is fine for 15-30 minutes after I've freshly installed the ROM, then it just turns off. When I then try to turn it back on it hangs at "turning on" and then goes back to off. At that point when I click "turn on", it doesn't even move. I'm a gonna try the fix, nothing to lose at this point...
Nuts. It fast moves to on and immediately goes back to off. White flag, thanks to all.
Apply the fix and delete all you devices then try turning it on and off with nothing on it...if it works then add devices one by one...if you have devices married to it the patch might not work also I think my computer dongle was the culprit

I found one thing that at least gets it working again without rebooting is to activate airplane mode. Its faster than rebooting. Wish I had a better answer...
