[Q] omnirom button backlights are always on or off - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

I installed omni rom on my note 8.0 n5110 and everything works perfectly except that the up and back buttons are always on, or always off. By default they are always on (whether being used or not) and to turn them off you need to go to Settings -> Advanced settings -> Screen to turn them off by disabling them (unless, of course, you enable them again, in which case they are always on).
How is it possible to make these button's lights behave as intended; namely they are off unless you touch them, in which case they turn on and when you release them with your finger they turn off?
Thanks!

Same problem here, thanks for the tip how to turn them off permanently.

Any way to disable proximity sensor while on phone

Hi all,
Is there anyway to disable the proximity sensor while on the phone?
When my 4 year old daughter uses the phone, she doesn't always hold it on her ear and the screen will go on and off and her face ends up pressing buttons and hangs up on whomever she's talking to.
I tried pressing the power button to turn the screen off, but once you touch the proximity sensor the screeen comes back on.
I'm using the stock Sprint ROM. Please help this is the most annoying feature of this phone.
Thanks i advance

i saw that option in advanced config tools, if im not wrong
Nope, i just installed it and checked. It's not in there. Thanks for the suggestion though.
any other ideas?
S2U2 can turn off the screen on a call, haven't tried it on the TP2/Tilt 2 yet though as I personally like the proximity sensor, although sometimes I find it doesn't work.
FYI, when I let my 4yo use my Tilt 2 it's in speakerphone..
TouchLockPro
You can try TouchLockPro, it has a built in InCallTweak, using the GSensor.

Ear touches the screen in a call

Hey, everytime I am in a call, my ear taps the taskbar and it opens the notification window which covers my call screen. I have googled and searched this forum with no success.
Apart from TouchLockPro, was just curious as to if there is anything that addresses this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Do you have something (case?) blocking the proximity sensor? The screen should be turning off as soon as you put the phone to your ear.
Yes I do. I've just tested it out, that seems to be the problem. So is there any tweak to prevent this?
i know even with the screen turning off with the proxy censor i will find i am in the screen with the connections and battery info when i am done with a call... its kind of annoying and worrys me a bit i might accadently end the call when the screen is off.... also the flip over to make it a confrence phone is a 50/50 thing... this device is so glitchy
I randomly get this too, I think sometimes the sensor isn't used.. There are times I've noticed I can cover it up completely with my thumb and the screen doesn't go off, but other times it works just fine.

Tweak...some testing to see where the sensor is (somewhere along the top near the HTC logo) and an X-acto knife to the case?
same thing happens to me, most of the time somehow I turn on airplane mode and the call disconnects.. sigh
TouchLockPro has a feature which turns the screen off using the G-sensor, but it's not just for calls, if you have it horizontal it'll be on, and if vertical it suspends/screen turns off; this would be good if it was just for calls, especially for those that use a case.
I'm just starting to use TouchLockPro (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444215) and I have most of the locking features turned off - I just hit the power button if I want to lock it.
It does keep the screen locked during a call so I no longer hit the buttons. Plus - when it unlocks I'm right back, exactly, where I left off.
There's lots of options to tweak, I think there's something for just about everyone.
I LOVE unlocking with the zoom bar - first time I've used that thing on my phone

thanks! works like a charm now, is there any way to lock it if it is idle for like 30 secs or something without havin to hit the power button
There's a number of ways to lock it using the various sensors - you can try one of those and see what fits your habits / style best. You can also click on the BattClock icon to get the menu - the lock icon is right there. That's 2 steps though...

[Q] Capacitive Buttons Will Not Stay on After 4.3 Update

My Note II is completely stock. I like having the capacitive buttons always on when the phone is on. I never had a problem before the 4.3 update, but now they randomly go off even tough I have the "always on" setting checked in system settings>my device>Display>Touch key light duration. They will stay on for a while and then go off. I go back into settings uncheck "always on" then check it again and they do come back on. I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem and if there is a fix for this?

[Q] One-handed Operation - how to keep it active until we turn it off?

Hi, I can't seem to keep the one-handed operation feature active. I typically use it in the car and while it's on, it works great. Everytime I activate it using the appropriate gesture (swipe left from right side of screen, then up diagonally to the right) the feature activates after a try or two or three.
However, anytime I turn the screen off, then turn it back on, one-handed operation is turned off and I have to go through the gestures again. Is there any way to keep this feature permanently active even when the display is turned off? It kinda defeats the purpose of being useful if I have to keep activating it anytime I need to use it.
I'm on Android 4.3, (T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3, SM-N900T).
Hoping someone can help.
Thanks everyone!
Daniel
