Hi guys
Had my galaxy s 2 through T-Mobile for a few days now. Beats HD2 running TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 hands down.
I've debranded the phone, running KE7 XEU and rooted via chainfire's insecure kernel.
However I've noticed this morning that the capacitive buttons are no longer lit up. The power is very low and needs charging, so I was wondering is this normal? A sort of built in power saving thing perhaps?
I'm not actually running power save mode, but suddenly the buttons aren't lit, however they still work?
Any ideas.
Thanks
Yes, that's normal. Search the settings, you can customize the behaviour.

Thanks for the swift reply.
That's a relief!
I've just put on the Case Mate Tough case and suddenly the buttons didn't light up - thought maybe I'd somehow broken it!
I can see power save settings and an option under display to specify the touch key light duration, but not nothing specifically regarding turning off touch key light power saving mode when battery low. Am I missing something?
Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do. When the power is low the buttons won't light up. For me it's not the end of the world as I know where they are.

Hi guys,
I am having this weird issue with my i9100, sometimes i can't wake my phone up! Only way is to remove the battery and put it back in
I have a feeling this may be a common issue, but I just didn't know what key words i had to use to search for this specific issue. I hope it is software, and not hardware.
I currently have the old lite'ning rom installed.
this person described my situation perfectly:
"Twice I have left my phone and then when i press the power button in the side to wake the screen in it wont turn on. I first thought it had ran out of power as no matter how many times i press the power button nothing happened. But if you press the volume button you can hear the phone beep as it gets louder so it is one. The only way i can get the screen to work is to take the battery out and put it back in again?"
helpp ( when the phone goes on sleep, it ignores everything even calls
Heya, seems like a ROM/kernel issue to me (perhaps even undervolting one). Try installing the newest version od your ROM, or Kernel and make sure you have no undervolting active. Hope it helped ya.

Last night my phone was working fine. This morning I awoke late for my day because my alarm clock didn't go off, looked at my phone to figure out why and all I saw was a blank screen. Playing with the power button I am able to get it to a mode where the orange charging light turns on and the softkeys seem to respond (they provide haptic feedback at least). The backlight stays off, but I can tilt the phone around and see a cyan line stretching the width of the screen and I can manuever it up and and down using the volume keys. There are 10 items in this menu it seems since on the 11th click of the volume button the line jumps to the top of the page.
Can anyone help me? I've tried taking out the battery for 10+sec, I've tried removing supplemental hardware (sd/sim cards), I've tried on and off charger.
EDIT: It would seem the key is to loose all hope of it working, but continue to press the power button in desperation and after about 40+ attempts at power at this point it might turn on. I'm officially terrified I am going to wake up without my phone at any given day now =[
Rooted? Stock? Recovery? Rom?
Hello everyone, I just got done rooting my HTC one and I love the haptic feedback when I hit a button. After rooting it though, the haptic feedback doesn't seem to work. Also the capacitive buttons don't seem to light up anymore. Any ideas on what the problem is? I already tried restarting the phone and unchecking and checking the vibrate to touch button. Thanks
Check power saver for vibration and cover two sensors on top grill for capacitive buttons

Hey all,
So I just flashed MIUI 2.4 to my Galaxy Vibrant and all went well but, when I press the power button or when the screen times out on its own, the bottom bar (the one with the Home, back and options button) light comes on and doesn't turn off. This is causing some serious battery drain and I'm not sure why it's happening... Any thoughts?
Cheers!

there is a feature that uses the button lights as notification lights.
you might try clearing the notifications and turning the screen off to see if its still doing it.
if the lights go out then that's it.
if you want to disable it, I believe the option is in settings (I'm not currently on that rom or I'd check)
How to shut off capacitive buttons from lighting up? Did Samsung remove this feature to shut off and change duration?
Yep,,,sadly they seem to have removed this option. Annoying.
Looks like we weren't the only ones to notice

Thanks. At least it is something to use at night.
Hi, I have the S6 Edge. The touch key lights are not working at all. In Settings I have the Touch Key Light duration set to "Always On". Power Saving Mode is off, but they still won't come on. The keys do blink briefly during startup, so I do know they physically work. Any ideas? Thanks
