Home button and power button problem on XXLP2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So since I flashed XXLP2 on my I9100 the home button doesnt work and I cant bring up task manager.
Also when I hold down the power button I dont get the meny showing 3G and silent mode etc. Instead it just turns off.
Anyway I can fix this?

same issue here too. And even the lockscreens won't work.
i did not find any solution so far.

I find it really weird because I've seen videos/reviews of XXLP2 and they have no problem with it what so ever.
It makes me think that I flashed it wrong even though I followed the instructions closely.

I have flashed Lotta roms.so that's not an issue.but in this case I tried 2 roms and the result is the same. I guess this rom is just another buggy test release.

Issue fixed.
The home button not working and missing lockscreen bugs are fixed by adding a file named 'keystr' under efs/imei folder.
refer this thread for more information.

Buttons Not Working

Hey guys, I've come across an annoying problem with my X10. While using the phone, the 3 main buttons and camera button (all of the buttons sharing the ribbon along the bottom of the LCD) will stop responding. At first I thought I had broken the connector or something, but after a restart the buttons respond again. This is happening more frequently and is pretty annoying, any ideas for a fix?

Maybe app related on that 1.7 ROM. Try stock ROM to see what happens.

I'd suggest the same thing.
But also clear your (Dalvik-) Cache, Data and everything.
Also, maybe it's kernel-related. What kernel+baseband are you using?
Think it might just be a dodgy connection, seems to be ok atm
Baseband is Trip's 67, kernel 2.6.29
Did you tried pressing the buttons??
they are not capacitive like HTC and LG...!!

An app or mod to remove key light

Greeting everyone.
I recently got an Android and I also recently decided to root and stick a custom ROM on it. Everything went fine and dandy with that and I'm currently on Cryanogen 9 Alpha ROM (it's spectacular to say the least).
On the default ROM you could choose to turn off the key lights (I'm talking about the touch keys on both sides of "the master button"). However, neither does Cryanogen 7 or 9 offer me this option and because I'm so used to it, lights seem weird and unnecessary.
So, after searching the interwebz for a while, I couldn't find anything useful and hence my post.
Thanks in advance for any help given.
Furthermore, fantastic video!
Bump! (Too few characters apparently).
tried this?

This requires .bln (BackLightNotifiation) mod which isn't featured in my current ROM (Cyanogen 9).
Thanks for the input anyhow.
I would like to know this too. The keys are allways on in CM9 unfortunately

It turns out that you can turn them off in CM7 but unfortunately I'm yet to find a fix for CM9.
you can try to modify the following script in the middle of this post to make it work in cm9

Thanks a bunch for the link.
I'll definitely give it a try when I have a bit of spare time.
EDIT: This script also requires BLN (which I talked about above) and after searching long and hard, I have found out that there is no ICS kernel with BLN support (while some others knew this, I certainly didn't).
After looking around further it seems that I/we won't get the feature for a while since BLN seems to be the only way apart from integration within the ROM (like it is within TouchWiz or CM7) that you can turn off your soft keys.
Latest build of CM9 has removed backlight!
'Tis a glorious day.

Wow, I've been looking for a way to disable the keys and while the script won't work for me messing with the settings did the job, that was my only issue so far. Cheers for the share. I'm using MIUI with siyah if anyone cares in order to make it work.
PS: games and movies look much better with no white lights :O
EDIT: Well, guess I was beat by the software had a notification during the night, and now the lights only stay off until the first time the screen gets turned off, after that they go back to their normal behaviour unless I reboot :|. On the look again for another way.
EDIT 2: Ok, I'm not giving up, for now I found yet another way for anyone interested (you need a BLN kernel however).
I installed BLN Control Pro, disabled everything and put BLN blinking: On and Led OFF time 3 minutes.
Now what I do is enter Test mode, turn the screen off and on, and now, the lights will be off for as long as I keep the program running. The only problem with this, is that BLN stops the phone from going into Deep Sleep, so I just need to remember to turn the test mode off and to disable BLN whenever I don't need the buttons off.
It's not a pretty solution but for now it's the best I could come up.
no setting for that

Means you are probably missing your keystr file. The fix has been discussed dozens of times already. Please search for this. FYI, you will need root to implement the fix.

You didn't search the right thing. I said your keystr file is missing. You didn't mention a keystr file anywhere there.
Google this: "site:forum.xda-developers.com i9100 ics keystr"

Strange bug : impossible to wake the phone when it's locked

Hi!
I'm using a recent CM9 nightly with default kernel.
I would like to have your opinion : about 3/4 a week my SGS3 is "stuck" when it's locked : impossible to wake up using home or power button, the screen stays black.
The weird thing is that when it happens, the phone is not frozen : I can still hear music on the headphones and control volume using Up/Down buttons.
Sometimes I let it stuck and receive a notification some minutes later and the phone magically can be unlocked again, screen wakes when I push Home button.
Very weird and annoying when that happens.
My question is : what do you think it could be? An app? How can I debug this and know what prevents the screen to wake up when that happens?
Thanks.
Wipe and reflash the rom

Thanks, but is that the kind of easy answer you all tell when you don't know the exact answer?
When I installed CM9 a week ago, I did do a full wipe...
I think that next time it happens, I will try to connect my SGS3 on USB and do a adb logcat, maybe I'll find useful information.
Have you tinkered with any of the could settings or voltage settings?

Having a similar problem to yourself. Installed CM9 rom had a play and then went back to omegaV9 performing a full wipe using the instructions on this site before reflashing.
Since then when my phone is locked screen off then i unlock either via swipe or using security code (digits ) it looks like the phone unlocks but sort of does a warm boot with black screen for a few seconds with the two buttons down the bottom light up.
When it starts it looks like all the apps have stopped and are restarting again.
I re flashed again omega 9 thought i had it sorted but it started playing up again this evening.
If anyone has any ideas please post..
Hi, I'm a newbie here. I also exprience this problem with my samsung GT-i9300. I hoping to see a fix with this problem.
This forum has been so helpful to new android users. Thank you guys.

rr 3.09 has anyone experienced this

when you select an email in the email app, it highlights it but overlapps the top part, as in the screenshot? it happens in the gallery app too when selecting a picture.
Confirmed to be in 2.7 too. But I'm not sure if it's just a feature/theme-thing or not.

yeah wasnt sure if it was a design feature or not but it looks untidy
Just to add that Ive played about with dpi. default is 240. ive tried going higher and lower than that. still the same result.
Lockscreen issue
Whenever I unlock my phone, I press the power button and the screen will flash for a second as if it was unlocked, then it will go to the lockscreen. I don't know if it makes a difference, but the same happens when I press the home button to unlock the phone.
Has anyone experienced that and / or would know how to fix it?

I see this on my phone too when I had RR 3.0.9. Quite possibly a bug?
