Hey guys, 2 issues.
On Malaysk's ROM, when the screensaver with the clock and speedo show up, it interrupts any video I am watching...ie YouTube. I does not mess with non-video apps like Pandora and Spotify.
Also, I never went back to fix this, but my button LEDs dont show. Only at Boot, everything lights up, but then they go off and never come back on. So no dimmer control either.
HELP...lol

I've had this issue with five different ROMs including the stock HTC ROM. It doesn't do it when the ROM is flashed freshly but starts within an hour or so, regardless of whether I load any other software on.
Here's exactly what happens. It doesn't matter if the unit is in standby or if the proximity sensor is activated. (On a phone call with phone by head - backlight is disabled.)
When the backlight is off and is activated by either pressing the power button or moving the phone away from the head, the backlight comes on dim, then goes off, then turns back on at regular brightness. The delay between activating the backlight and reaching regular brightness is around one second.
What is going on? This is really annoying. If I'm on a call and want to mute the mic, I take the phone away and "flash, flash, mute". Then I want to unmute and the same thing.
I don't have any software on the phone right now that most of the rest of you don't have. I've got:
AT&T keyboard fix
Dusk lockscreen
PHM Regedit
Safe Inbox Extender
Clock flip disable
1% battery driver
Theme pack for 1% battery icons
I've reflashed and installed none of this software and the issue doesn't occur. Without installing any software, the issue recurs within a day. (Usually within an hour)
Any help or insight would be appreciated.
So I can't seem to figure out why the Soft Touch Button are on, or mostly not on on the One X.
In a dark room they are not usually on, run some app or open something on the phone and they seem to activate.
Anyone else getting this??
They should activate/deactivate depending on the amount of surrounding light.
Tested it myself, with a flashlight on the phone the lights went of. When I removed the flashlight and back in the dark, the lights turned on.
Yes, I got the same result as Foggy79. I just want to know if I can turn if off manually?
Probably not (maybe with a custom ROM, but I doubt that)
I wanna know how to turn them off. When watching a video in the dark.... they stay on, when they should turn off when video is being played full screen.

Use this Rom :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625816
With PKMN Tweaks integrated in this rom, you can control soft key led back light :
* Always on
* Always off
* Turn on when the dim light, turn off when strong light

would rather not go flashing roms to get this.
And how would the tweak help? either it's always on, always off or the last option which would keep the lights on under dim conditions.
What they need to do is add a timeout. like on the Galaxy series phones. 2 seconds or 7 seconds. then it shuts off, when you touch the screen it turns on again.
It's just bad designing and/or programming.

That'sa great idea, which I can't believe I didn't think of. I have been having the opposite problem: the soft key lights always stay on. However, when I held up the phone to a bright light, they turned off. So, they are working.
Still, it takes a really bright light to achieve this; I wish I could fine tune the behavior. I tried an app that stated it would control the keys but it did not work (and my phone is not rooted).
I also see in ancola66's post that the custom ROM allows automatic dimming only in "strong light," so apparently the behavior I am seeing is normal. I wish it would take less strong light to activate dimming/off as my lights never seem to go off, as I stated.
Thanks for these informative posts.
Reading in bed with Aldiko
It mostly annoys me when I'm reading in bed with Aldiko. Aldiko is a great reading app that lets you adjust the lights the phone emits to the lowest possible, so I can read in the dark without disturbing my wife.
However, on this phone I have the keys glaring in my eyes, way brighter than the letters of my book.
I wish I could switch them off somehow.
I thought the soft lights will only turn on when phone is in dark place? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Exactly.. That sucks when lying in bed reading next to your beloved.. It should only light when touching the screen like the s3..I don't need those lights when I sit and read a book or something

There are ways to disable them. Mostly(maybe a must) if you are ROOTED.
Apps that ppl said that were able to shut them off were screenfilter or how its called. Search through the forums here.
Or you can edit the framework-res file to disable them on sense roms. If Interested I will search it from here somewhere.
Or for CM check my signature (there are 2 lines, not the one about the UV...)
They annoy me too. I recently began watching some videos in bed (streaming from desktop) because I temporarily gave away my laptop. They are very bright in the dark, I wish there was an option to turn them off permanently (yes, I know it's possible with custom ROMs, but I'm still not ready to root yet).
Also, the display is still too bright for my taste - lowest brightness should be lower. Although it's pretty good compared to other screens. In my opinion, the lowest brightness is also very important, just as max. brightness.
Having some music issues since upgrading to 4.2 using Bigxie's stock rom
-When you change the volume, the screen turns on. I have double twist on the lock screen, and swiping it changes the song. I'm constantly changing the song accidentally because the screen keeps coming on. Any way to fix that?
-Sometimes I get a warning about turning the volume being too high (which it isn't, just the song it quiet). Is there a way to disable that warning?
Never had these issues in 4.1
Thanks.
Any Ideas?
Do people on the stock 4.2 experience the screen turning on?
So, we upgraded to 4.2.1 with this rom by manumanfred.
We're still having the volume screen wake problem.
Any suggestions?
ADDITION
I found a post about this, but it didn't work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606580
Apologies if this has been addressed before, but I searched and couldn't find something exactly like this...
Randomly one of 3 screen issues seems to be occuring on a daily basis:
1) Auto-Rotate stops working. Cannot get screen to rotate without reset (Yes, I've made sure auto-rotate is on in settings)
2) Screen will not Auto-Off. Even if I change settings to 15 secs, screen will not turn itself off. I have to manually turn it off. And, if I receive a text or any kind of notification it will light up again and stay on indefinitely.
3) Screen will not turn back on when trying to wake up device. Hitting the home button and power button both have no effect. Although the LED is usually blinking, and it seems the phone is still on.
For all 3 of the above issues, manually pulling out the battery and reseting the phone that way seems to always work. But, this is an annoying process to have to go through on a daily basis.
Also, I've noticed that these 3 symptoms don't occur simultaneously. For example, yesterday it wouldn't auto-off, but rotation would still work.
Not running any custom ROMs either
Has anyone has an issue where the screen won't turn on after using the fingerprint sensor? I can feel it unlock but I sometimes have to hold the power button until the power off/reboot menu comes up which then starts the display up from being all black. Have Magisk beta and Xposed installed so maybe that's the issue?

Is AOD on or off? What happens when it's on?

AOD is on. So what happens is if the phone is on my desk and AOD is showing time, it'll show the notification briefly then just go black(nothing is covering proximity sensor and notification light is blinking). I then usually have to either do the power menu trick I mentioned or just restart the phone. If it's in my pocket on the other hand I'll pull it out and it'll be black with a notification light.
Oddly enough it usually only occurs with Snapchat so I think it may have to do with having snaptools installed?

Quite possibly so. I know nothing about snap face, snap chat, or whatever these social media apps do. Although, you may try clearing the app data and cache on said app to see if it helps. No guarantees though. As is the case with many things android! ??
I've had the same issue ever since I installed, I believe, the nav bar immersive mod. Not sure, around same time. I was able to hurt power button twice for camera and that would pull it up and u could switch back to screen. I don't have xposed or Snapchat, so I don't think either of those are it. It's random when it happens to me.
I've had similar issues. I'm not rooted and have never used Snapchat or AOD. I do use immersive mode for some apps so I've thought that might be causing it. Like stated above, I can get the screen to come on my double tap to open the camera or just holding the phone face down and tap the back a couple times then flip back over and the screen comes on.
I'm also having this issue. Ambient display seems to prevent the issue for me. If I reboot the issue is gone for a period as well. Not rooted but have immersive mode acrive via nav bar hider.

Ok so a little more testing. When Ambient display is set to always on, I have no issue, maybe a slight lag when waking/unlocking. When ambient is set to tap or pick up i get issues, when ambient display is set to off at all times, i have no issue. Plugging the phone in to charge seems to force the issue to happen.
Edit: Seems that even with ambient display off totally the issue pops up. Strange thing is if i unlock the phone and take a screen shot, its totally black.
I to have this happen and like sportytony I use camera to wake device. Sometimes that too takes a bit. Most of the time when it finally does wake there will be a notification that systemui isn't responding. So I wonder if it's related.
Ok, I've been having this issue happen multiple times a day. I use this immersive app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.tsdo.elw
Since I have turned all ambient display options off and made sure that System UI is unchecked in the immersive app i haven't had an issue at all.
Its definitely related to system UI, com.android.systemui to be precise
i used to try to set up Power Nap on this device, but it can't find System UI in app list, make me unable to whitelist it, thus causing same issue like yours,
Screen wont turn on after sleep, since System UI wake up is blocked
I was using hide navbars and had this issue
I uninstalled and never had that problem again

Didn't expect all these replies but I'm going to try to untick system UI and see what happens. Thank you all!
