CM9 & touchkey/softkey backlight

Alright, hopefully I'm just being a 'tard and not looking in the right place. I took my phone from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 last night, and I have allllllmost everything set up the way that I want it. The only thing that's missing it the backlight for the four softkeys (menu/home/back/search). I want them to stay lit whenever I have the screen on. I've searched, but all the threads that I turned up were people that couldn't get them to turn off!
Can anyone point me in the right direction, or is it something I just need to get used to?
Thanks,
n1n00b

Its a bug, sometimes they turn on sometimes they don't. I hardly pay attention to them anymore as I've gotten used to it

happens to me off and on. Pretty common actually, not a big issue to me since at this point we should have the layout memorized

This is a known issue. They won't work when the screen comes on initially.
If you leave the screen untouched for about 5 seconds, they will come on when you touch the screen. You can also get them to come on by adjusting brightness. They will work until the screen turns off.

Not quite what I meant... I'm referring to the fact that, once they /are/ lit, if you don't touch the screen for a few seconds, they turn off. I want them to be on as long as the screen is on. You can set this to happen in the OEM TouchWiz OS, but not with CM9.

Bloody hell, that's what I was afraid of. Thanks.

Go to System > Advanced > Sensors, then check the box beside Enable Keys Backlight

Not a fix lol easier to just adjust brightness from status bar to get them on...
same thing with the screen brightness... it's not as bright as it is with stock rom when you dont have power saver enabled..

I think I misunderstood. I thought you wanted them to stay on when the screen is on. The directions I gave you do that on mine. What was it you want the keylights to do exactly?
Personally I think the screen brightness is actually too bright except in when out in bright daylight.

Is this how the LED notification works when charging?

Just got my i747m s3 and I was wondering if the LED notification is working properly when charging.
LED notification when charging:
flashes red intermittently when charging
flashes green intermittently when fully charged
Is this normal?
I thought it would be solid colours during charging/charged, instead of flashing intermittently.
- stock rooted telus rom

I'm pretty sure it is not supposed to flash

Take it back to the store. For what you paid you deserve a device properly working lol!

He doesn't need to do that, his SIII works fine. Light Flow is an app that allows you to control the LED light. Even when disabled it sometimes does stuff in the background.
I disabled the charging LED in the options, myself. In my dark room it was enough light to keep me awake, so it had to go.

Never had this issue with my stock s3. Using an app to solve this can be okay but, usually, when I pay good money for a device, I want it top notch!

The phone works fine. Its the 3rd party app that's not working properly.

Basically the same form me

[Q] LED light not working

Having some serious problem here. My led isn't lighting up while charging etc. Although LED test shows that the LED are working fine.
What should i check or do?

Settings- Display- LED indicator.

Try that. That should work. Else re-flash or if you're not confident of that, go to cc

Led indicator is on, that's for sure. I didn't touch it.
Only shut down has light, the rest charging etc has no light.
Tried reflash also.

U can use light manager instead.

Sorry to revive a long-forgotten thread, but I received my n7105 from UM yesterday and the phone works perfectly apart from the LED indicator not lighting up.
Just curious if you found a way to fix this issue or was there some hidden setting which was hindering the LED light working correctly?
I also installed light manager but unfortunately it doesn't seem to help the situation.
I'm guessing maybe the LED light is a dud but hoping there's some way to rectify this without having to return it.
Thanks mate.

[Q] question about CM 10.2 LED intensity

Is there a way to turn down how bright the LED's are for notifications? I just updated from stock to CM 10.2 and the LED notification lights are a lot brighter, and a different color. It's so bright that when I'm charging my phone at night the light really bugs me. I liked the old blue light from teh stock set up much better.
I looked around and also searched but didn't see anything on this.
Thanks,
CF

What about using the Quiet Hours setting to disable the LED altogether during certain hours?

I have it set to turn off the ringer. If it does the LED's too I totally missed it. Will check that out.

"Disable Notification Light" is the bottom option.

[Q] Notification light

So I could have sworn I saw it somewhere where someone was talking about the brightness of the notification light but I don't remember. I'm running hawk's ecliptic and love it, but I swear my notification light is dimmer than when I was running stock.
Did I see correctly or am I just losing it?

You're seeing it correctly. It's not as bright on custom ROMs.
