Hello all,
I have recently loaded a new rom to my SGH-T889 (Team UB 5.0.2 Lollipop), coming from Liquidsmooth 3.2 4.4.4 Kitkat. The previous rom I've used has the option to disable the backlight of the capacitive buttons (not sure if that's what it is called, but it's the buttons next to the home button). In the new rom, there is no option to disable the capacitive buttons' backlight, so I am trying to see what app, if there are any, compatible with my phone, that allows me to disable the backlight of the capacitive buttons.
By the way, I have two other small problems I would like to know the solutions to:
- Camera always displays a "cannot connect to camera" message. It happens once in a while (randomly) if I access it by pressing the camera icon, but if I try to use the camera shortcut on the lockscreen (it is always guaranteed to not work). These scenarios occur on all roms except the stock rom and a restart fixes the problem.
- One more annoying thing is that GPS seems to never find any satellites on any rom except the stock rom. I've tried so many apps in the Play Store and tried the Kat App, but they don't work.
I've searched all around XDA for solutions, but the solutions either are not compatible with my phone or they don't work at all. Any tips and guides are welcome.
Thank you.

Hi,
I've had my M9 for a couple of weeks now, and slowly getting it to work how I want it to. One thing nagging me is this weird issue I have with waking the device from sleep.
I have tried to disable all the gesture/smart wake features (double tap the screen, etc). The issue I'm having seems to relate to the light and/or proximity sensor. It seems (and I haven't been able to find any info on this, online or on the phone) that there is a feature which will enable the device to wake up when being picked up or taken out of my pocket. This doesn't always work, but sometimes it does. When I pull my phone from my pocket, it will sometimes wake up. When I glide my finger over the front camera & light sensor, it will sometimes wake up. This is a minor annoyance, as I would like to only be able to wake my device by hitting the power button.
It gets really annoying when these 'gesture' wakes start to interfere with the power button wake. For example (and this is happening more often than not), when I pull my phone out of my pocket, the phone is off, then I hit the power button once, and the phone still doesn't wake. Hitting the power button a second time will wake the device. It seems to me that the smart waking is some how interfering with the manual waking.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
Any suggestions for a solution?
Thanks a lot for any help.
This is really odd considering the M9 doesn't support air gestures. Sorry, I have no solution, but is it possible you may have installed an app that may be causing this?
I would think two button push would be the normal, otherwise you could accidentally hit it once and turn the screen on. Do you have Ambient display and pocket detection all turned off ?
Gravity Screen in the play store gives you total control of all that stuff
That for the replies guys.
Clsa, there is no way to disable ambient display & pocket detect because those features do not exist on the M9 (at least... Not that I have found). That's what is bugging me.
I don't think the 2 button press is normal. I've never had to do it on previous phones.
Fernand - not sure if it is another app causing it. I think I have no extra apps installed compared to my last phone.
I just tried Gravity Screen, and it seems to just give me the ability to enable all the features I want to disable.
Any other suggestions?

Settings / Display & Gestures / Ambient display (Wake screen when device is picked up or notifications arrive)
Pocket Detection is part of some Rom Tweaks (insertcoin & viperOne if i remember right)
Hi again, that option is not available on my phone. Do you see it on your M9?
I don't have a custom ROM. Not rooted either.

Yes I have it, but I'm on LeeDroid right now. He adds so much stuff i forget whats "custom" and whats stock
Got the same issue
The power button will ignore the first push while standing by for a long time. Thought it might be caused by apps like greentify?
Hi Ducati, is that a fact or is that just how you understand it? Seems strange that that would be intentional. But it definitely seems to be the case.
I do not have greenify installed either.
Do you get similar behaviour on your One?
After a bit more testing. I can confirm that there are some sort of air gestures on this device. I can wave my finger in front of the front light sensor/camera, and the device will wake.
This doesn't happen all the time, I am not always able to reproduce this. But right now, it is happening. Can anyone else reproduce this?

I have the same issue on my M9. Glad I found this thread. Thought my power button was defective.
I can't activate any gestures by waving my hand.
I think it's happening mostly when waking from deep sleep.
I know it's an old thread, but I just installed CyanogenMod 12.1 and I guess my google-fu is rusty. I find that if I hit the power button in quick succession (double click) it turns off the phone. Anyone know how I can stop this?
By quick succession I mean multiple times within 20 seconds
Hi,
The title speaks for itself.
Big issue here, long-press on the screen of my D855 doesn't work anymore.
Touchscreen is fine but long-presses just acts like a normal press.
I can't tell when exactly this bug started but it's really annoying since some actions can't be done without it (can't move icons, play specific games, etc...)
The lower end of the screen works fine tho (navigation buttons and apps dock) but everything above don't.
Some rare times it works with no particular reason.
Can someone help me with this ?
Is it hardware or software related ? (updating firmware to V21a didn't solved my issue).
Bu chance u aint got a glass protector on do you
No glass protector.
Stock Rom.
This is a really weird bug because it works 1 time after a "pinch to zoom" for exemple and then again it stops working
Off top of my head try if ure rooted xposed like g3tweakbox or gravity box one of 2 change long press behavior or or goto acseability and change touch feed back time to short
I have the same problem, whenever I scroll down/up, it goes directly at the bottom/top. Sometimes, it goes back to normal, I don't even know why but frequently it goes back to the problem. I had already gone to Accessibility, ..., set it to slow and it seems not to work. What to do? :/
Hi.
Quick background incase it's relevant...
I was running Malaysk 5.1.1 on my rk3188 800x400 and paired it with my Sony Xperia Z for Bluetooth audio and calls; all worked prefectly.
Then I updated my handset to an Xperia XZ premium and Bluetooth calls stopped working. I tried every fix, msu and rom I could find but nothing ever worked. I left the hu with a stock rom until I could find a solution.
My handset software then updated to 8 and hey presto, calls are working again.
So, I re-installed Malaysk's 5.1.1 rom.....and now the story continues...
I found that in the 'car mod' launcher as well as the xposed installer app that I couldn't press the menu buttons on screen. Everything else worked and those parts of the screen worked when other buttons were under them.
Thinking it was an installation glitch I reinstalled the rom but the problem remained. In short I tried four other roms but found the same problem. Then I tried changing the lcd density to make the gui bigger and found the buttons worked, but only if the screen is ridiculously big! (240 or over). I also found that if I used my thumb (which is large!) to press the menu buttons it works at smaller screen sizes but often presses others screen elements nearby.
So, the touchscreen works, the menu buttons work but only if they're huge or I mash that whole area of the screen!
What the what is going on?!
Thanks.
Still getting used to this phone, and the couple of disappointments that came with it.
Maybe with the right ROM, I can fix this?
I need a ROM that will:
- Allow me to use google camera app
- Allow me to use my google voice assistant wake up phrase to wake up my phone WITHOUT TOUCHING IT.
- Allow me to tell google assistant to "take a picture" and have it take a picture, without me touching the screen
- Allow me to answer phone calls with one touch.
I don't want any new themes or colors or anything. I use Nova Launcher, and have an all-black desktop with all black hidden buttons.
Which ROM is the best one for me?
Thanks!
you should start with lineage i think which is about to become official and you can use google camera on it but i dont think our phone can ever have the ability to wake device etc without touching. Perhaps your coming from a motorola device where you can talk to the phone to carry out actions but that is hardware related which this phone doesnt have like always listening mic.
I agree with @sam00561. But for always listening assistant there's a mod to enable it I think (it'll use more battery but if it's a must for you then would work for you).
Assistant takes selfies if you have google camera installed. And that call thing is configurable.
But really, starting with official los helps a lot.
Hi all
Several times here I had raised a question about not working mode "In pocket", but still no progress.
Just today I made a sprint and flashed several different ROMs (Havoc, crDroid, AEX, AICP, Viper, Colt, RR, and lot of others brands and versions a little bit earlier). Wiped, flashed rom + magisk, booted to new rom, set pocket mode on, rebooted (just for sure) and made a simple test:
locked phone by power button then closed a proximity sensor (left to the speaker on the top), then pressed the power button and always got the same result: regardless that proximity still closed (like in pocket), the lock screen is appearing and I can press playback buttons or unlock the phone. The only Syberia doesn't have this bug (but have some another, preventing me from using it).
Am I "the only one" who want to be sure that your smart will never awake in your pocket (when, for example, some notification will arrive) and start its own life, pressing all that will be available on lockscreen? So, common as a fundamental feature and ... it's not working for a very long time. What's ...? Maybe I missed some well-known trick on how to make it properly work?

I need a very small set of properly working stuff: Magisk with its MagiskHide, LuckyPatcher and its market, Google Pay working with the previous couple, Working Swift Installer and ... pocket mode. that's it
nevertheless, so easy for the testing feature is not working. it looks like QA is living somewhere in 4-th or 5-th dimension
In LOS16 Pocket mode is not working (
I assume, that this is a source for not working PM in all another custom ROM - a lot of them are using LOS16 as a base for their work. sadly...
May I ask moderator(s) move this question back to ROMs thread where I initially place it?
This is the only way (as it seems to me) to attract ROM builders at last fix this really annoying bug!
New ROMs' versions regularly appears, but ... who care? ((
Working "In pocket" mode. For any firmware!
Finally solved the problem forever.
You must use Automagic or any other automation tool that supports the following commands sequence:
- The screen turns on (trigger event)
- Immediately lock the device!
- Check the distance of the proximity sensor:
***- if <5cm - do nothing
***- if> 5cm - turn on the screen (smart not in your pocket)
Immediately locking is required because it takes 1-2 seconds to measure the distance and during this time you may press something on already switched on screen.
