Hi, I just noticed that my back button doesnt light up anymore.
Im using SOTMAX ROM and Red Pill Kernel.
Any suggestions how to check if they're disabled by software? or its a hardware issue?

Back button not lighting isn't a bad thing, it actually saves battery.
Anyway, check the settings on display or try flashing a different ROM, the problem might be from the ROM.

By software you mean an app? If yes, I can't help from here. You can check the reviews of the apps you installed. Click all reviews then option, then tick the "reviews from this device only" if it is a bug caused by an app, I'm sure someone reported it through a review.

Is there a way to turn off back light and LED notification lights? I've tried an app called Led Flow -LED Control but it didn't work on the One V. Is there any way to turn off the back light buttons as well as the top LED light? To save battery? thanks!
You can use my file keyoff.zip to turn off the backlight completely. The LED notification, no mod as there is no request from my ROM user; not sure it can be done or not.

Opps...sorry... didn't realize that.
It won't work for a CM based ROM I guess and I can't help with that as I work with Sense files only.

Oh okay. thank you for your help though
I'm going to send you a PM.
I hope someone can help me out with this (I guess most of my posts arent worth bothering with as they usually go untouched by anyone). I'm trying to figure out a way to disable the touch button backlight on a Google Edition ROM. I have been searching for an answer since the Google Edition hit. All I can ever find is how to disable on GSIII ROMs (non ge). If anyone can please help me out I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

Screen Filter is an app that can disable the backlight of the softkeys. Set it to auto-start at boot and you should be good. I know its not a direct fix but its a low impact app that shouldnt effect battery life or operation.

Seems to work for me. Did it dim the screen at all (thats its main function)? Did you see the check box "enable softkey back light" (uncheck it) at the bottom of the app ui?

Yes, it did dim the screen, but if i uncheck the enable softkey back light, anytime I touch the screen the backlights still come on. Are you on a G.E. rom? I am currently on Infamouse G.E.

No im not. I am on AOSP (Slim Bean) though.
There are options to do this in AOKP and CM roms. Anybody know how those builds pull it off?
Give me a minute to shower and I'll write you an app. All you have to do is install my app, reboot, grant it root access, and profit.

Okay i am having troubles setting it to off on boot. But here is a "toggle" version of it where you can toggle them on or off. Will try and fix the boot issue tomorrow.
SWEEET!!! Works like a charm thanks dude! Like I said, I've been searching for this forever! I know that many others have been searching for this, perhaps you should make a thread in the mods section.

Hi there,
is there a way to use the Menu and Back button on the bottom of the phone as a notification LED? Just let it blink if there is a notification in the system?
Greetings
Christian
I have tried several apps (BBS Notifications, ButtonLED) to accomplish this, unfortunately without any success.
The BBS Notification was able to control the button lights, however when the screen is off the lights do not work. Some phones do not allow the lights to go on, when the screen is off and as it seems S4 Mini is one of them. I also hope someone will find a solution for this, preferably one that will not cause too much battery drain.
Another option might be BLN mod. However, I read that the BLN modification in kernel might cause battery drain exactly because of the necessary changes in power management in order to allow the button light to work when the screen is off (the BLN mod for Mini does not exist yet as far as I know).

hello
I think the BLN kernel solution is better than any noLED app or other.
So I am very interested in a BLN supporting kernel.
Were can a user as me ask for this or can see the progress in building such a BLN-supporting kernel?
Thanks
Tom
You can try noled it uses your screen led for notification but drains battery
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
As I wrote I this the BLN is much more better.
If you look at night on your superAMOLED screen while a noLED sign is there, the whole screen is lighter.
As far as I see this app (noLED) is not able to let our wonderful AMOLED screen totaly black but gives a little light on the whole screen.
So: were can a "new" user as me, with 2 years CM experiance at his Galasy S I can ask developers to create a BLN supportet kernel?
I dont want to post it in the wrong place here in XDAdev.
thanks !
Tom

I remembered to see the backlight somewhere on a todo list, but now can't find it. Is this now available in the stable release?
no it isn't. Still on the list.
Anything new yet? My girlfriend uses se S4 mini and is annoyed of the missing LED. NoLED drains too much battery...

So what do these links tell me. After reading them I am not sure what to do with it? Can I just add that to my Cyanogen or is it different?
What happens with Cyanogen Updates then?
This is my first post, please tell me if there is anything wrong with the structure.
I have tried everything, installed every single rom on xda, but i can't make the rotation and motion sensors to work. They used to work, until i flashed the leaked 4.3 stock from samsung... after about a week they stopped working. Out of the blue really, the phone has no dents or bumps.. any solution?

Get GPS STATUS app from play store, open it up and hit the menu button, then click on TOOLS, this will let you calibrate the sensors.
Hope this will solve it, please let me know :victory:

Well you can't go on landscape mode.. calibration does nothing. Can't use apps that depend on gyroscope.
The motion features won't work at all, non of them. Quick glance etc.
Hy with 4.3 I had problems in the keyboard area, I installed cm11 and no problems, back to 4.3 with toolkit and no problem.
What can be appened!??
The keyboard area sensitive was very bad as when it's on charge.
Opinions and tips to avoid the problem in the future?

if stock keyboard, just try disable this gesture typing.
- if all setting properly checked but still got issues try reset keyboard by clear data & cache from setting> apps> keyboard.
- if still the same, re-root, install back any good ROM or custom kernel.
thats why we here, bcoz we dont want to use something c**** from stock!!
problem solved???

Yeah i did a factory reset and after that i also disabled gesture typing now i am using it for few days just to check it but today gesture typing got enabled by it self so i will test it for few days and then i will post the result but i think that it might have solved the problem.....

OK let me know
Do you have Google keyboard v3?
Install swype.
Profit.
I WAS also having issues with lag on swype, but after disabling all the settings I don't use(like next word prediction, the aosp spell checker) and double space period, and then disabled auto spacing but then enable auto spacing again(for some reason my lag did not go away until I toggled this off/on again) things are running smooth.
You can try same with Google keyboard settings, and if you don't need aggressive spell check then disable that as well.
If it mainly lags while you are on the charger, it could also be due to the device getting warm and CPU hitting the thermal throttle temperature causing max freq of 700mhz to be used until CPU temp drops again.
The problem is like this and is not solved

I will tell you my exact problem...
It happens mostly when i am typing on xda website.. When typing everything is perfect but when i press backspace it deletes the letters of the first line even though i press only backspace it changes its position (reason unknown) and also when i am scrolling throughout the page sometimea it throws me to the top.. It also happens in messages and about that prs i also tested it and most of the time it is above 40 but it is not constantly over 40 so that maybe the reason....

Switched the rom to cm11 because it was not being solved so now it is ok
It was annoying and typing was very difficult with it
It is still present but I am ok with it since cm rom is the most bug free rom (atleast for me)
