[Q] Softkeys backlight - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently switched to CM11 and now my softkeys lits 5 seconds whenever screen is tapped. I can switch this LEDs on or off, I can even change timeout but I can't make softkeys lit only when they are pressed (instead of screen).
I checked all settings in "Display & lights" and "Buttons" section but can't find anything useful for my situation.
I'm using CM11-installer with default CM11 kernel and latest TWRP recovery.

** Solved with AGN! PureCM kernel

[Q] Wifi toggle button greyed out

Hello,
There is a problem with enabling wifi on my Galaxy S3: How can this be reproduced on my device?
For saving battery I switch wifi on and off regulary. But after a few times this toggle button, which is available when swiping your finger from top to bottom of the screen (which is normally light green or dark grey) turns into dark green. When going to wifi settings there is a message "shutting down". So you can not choose "scan" nor "wifi direct" nor enable wifi,...
The only way to work around this, is rebooting the device.
Any suggestion to solve this in depth?
ps: I have tried with power save off (*#0011# methode) but each time after rebooting this setting is back on and wifi works (few times).
Thanks for your advice!
Regards,
Hans
It happens to me
It recently started happening to me too. I think I will blame it on the siyah kernel... what kernel are you on?
I have this problem too, running stock JB ROM rooted.

[Q] Jb/ics Miui question!

just a quick question, with both builds of Miui (ics/jb) i notice that the capacitive keys seem to vibrate on touch even when the screen is off. is there a fix within the rom to turn them off?
You capacitive buttons shouldn't be responding when screen is off unless you have sweep2wake.
Check whether you have sweep2wake in your kernel. If you do, turn it off. Use an app like kernel tuner to do that.

[Q] S2 screen won't wake it just flickers and goes black

My S2 boots up fine (screen very bright and animation color not natural) after finishing boot the soft keys lights up but the screen goes black. When i press the home button the screen just flickers, shows the screen for a split second then goes black.Sometimes after many attempts pressing the power button it wakes but screen at full brightness and color is not natural. When i try to press the screen brightness to adjust it goes black immediately.
What i have tried so far, bought a new LCD screen and replace but problem persists. So its not a LCD problem. It was running stock ICS so i flash stock JB after wiping, no help. Root with Philz kernel but when i go to recovery screen goes black so i try Speedmod kernel with CWM recovery and the screen shows the Recovery menu I try to flash a custom rom (can't remember which one) but it won't boot up stuck at splash screen.I even flash GB and ICS stock still no luck.
The phone works fine calls can still get through, download mode screen and recovery screen ok. I actually have not use this phone for a year but the last time i use use it was working fine.
Google all the different Samsung device if anyone has this problem but no one seem to have the problem that i have so maybe if anyone knows or suggest anything else which i haven't tried.
Thanks for viewing
I have found the root of my problem, the damn brightness control in settings is not working. Brightness is at full, unable to set to auto or manually dim the screen.
Screen will only wake with black background. Have to tear apart the phone and figure whats wrong

Lockscreen, screen timeout modes CM 10.2.1

My lockscreen is no longer working and I have no idea why. I have a 2 min. screen timeout but when I wake up the Nook with the "N" button the screen is already unlocked (I do not have the selection checked that uses this button to unlock). It used to work fine but then more or less stopped. I've tried all kinds of combinations of settings. Sometimes it will work once after changes, but then it stops again.
I've just discovered I can manually lock the screen with a quick press of the power button. That works every time but is sort of beside the point. It should (used to) lock automatically when the screen goes off after 2 min.
And...what exactly are the "screen timeout modes"? Each of the two consists of 3 time intervals but there is no explanation or description of what they are/do. Originally they were unselected and I just had the 2 min timeout. So are these deepening levels of power saving (dim, off, sleep)?
I wish there were some kind of reference for the CM settings. It would really help a noob like me

Expanded screen mode (autohide top status bar and lower nav bar) locks up tablet

I have been running my Tablet Z (pollux_windy) on the latest Oreo release (15.1) . Have installed a few nightly updates - but the problem below keeps occurring.
It generally runs really well - but I have discovered something that seems to be causing issues for me and wondered if anyone else has the same issue.
I like to use the full real estate of the screen, so found the Settings/Display/Expanded desktop setting that lets you hide the top status bar and the lower navigation keys go into autohide mode (you swipe up from the bottom of the screen to see them).
First time I enabled them all seemed great - Then I left the tab and the screen timed out.
I tried to wake it up (using the power button or double tap on the screen) - Nothing.
Tried this quite a few times over a few minutes.
Did a Hard power off.
Restarted eventually. Seemed ok until the screen blanked out - then the same as above.
I did eventually get the screen to wake back up without a reboot by trying the double tap and quick press of the power key. But it took quite a few attempts.
Finally I turned the full screen mode off (ie brings back the status bar and nav controls) and everything was back to normal behaviour - ie always wakes back up when required.
I have tried changing the expanded desktop mode several times and it always locks things up after the screen times out so have now given up on it.
Anyone else finding that setting this mode causes lockups?

Hello!
Please write your problem to an official bugreport https://wiki.lineageos.org/bugreport-howto.html to let the LOS developers team about the encountered issue.
Thanks. Signed up to add the fault and found someone witha different device reporting the same bug around a week ago.
Added my confirmation of the problem with different hardware.
Fingers crossed someone may have a look at it when time allows.
