I have an SD note 4 and I have never noticed the back lights working on bottom buttons. Do these actually have lights on them? I see option in settings to turn em on and off and they are turned on but they don't work on mine. I am on stock miui 9 global rom.

Of course they work but not all the time, after you press them, they are lit for a few seconds

Could be a faulty device. Go to test mode, tap on kernel version several times and you have a lot of stuff to test and test everything, backlights especially

Yes deffo faulty. Tried the test and they do not come on.
Never mind as I have managed with it last 2 months without noticing it ha ha. Not worth the cost of returning to China from UK either.

Like I say I never noticed lol. Had the phone 2 months now so due a new one anyhow lol
Hey guys,
I have the opposite problem: they never turn off. They dim ever so slightly, but even with the device powered down they are still lit up (I have a second device to compare it to and in a pitch black room they are clearly lit up). Currently on global stable 9.0.5.0, will see if the problem persists once the 72 hour binding time is over and I can unlock bootloader. Unless someone has a suggestion for a fix?

does this happen to you?
i was playing on my tablet then the screen turn soooo dark
like as if the bright setting is turn all the way down.
i can hardly see to operate, i press the power button then again to login.
but when i check the setting it appear untouch
even after turning off auto brightness.
Mine kinda does this... mine just goes super dark, but i usually just touch the screen or the power button and it brightens back up, just like a laptop getting ready to go into sleep or hibernate mode.
It happens again after I set timeout tok 30 m3inutes
It could be bad lcd, I could not see a thing.
That would suck if it is a bad LCD, but at least it would be under warranty!
This happened to me, I think it is because I had brightness at maximum... I turned the brightness slightly down and it has happened again. But maybe that's just me?

It has a light sensor and auto-adjust capability. I've notice as I move around with mine or change how room light hits it will darken or brighten. Doesn't bother me enough to go looking for some settings to disable it, but there should be some there.
I have the same problem too... everytime I turn off the screen using the power button then turn on again the screen turn very dark when the setting is set to auto brightness... it is very annoying while doing something on the S and went away from a while then come back to use it the brightness is totally so dim...
I'm sorry to say but you guys have a defective unit. Just switch it in right away.
turn off auto brightness.
I contact newegg yesterday but no reply yet.
edit: i call them via phone got my shipping label.
Turning off auto brightness doesnt help, but tuning down the brightness from max down slightly I havent had the issue.
If it happens again ill have to send this back, I feel bad loosing the official siony screen cover.
Byt loosing $30 is better than five ninty-nine us dollars.

The issue describedhappened to my first one which is why I know it. Just re turn it. Its not normal behavior.
It is the Android problem, not Sony. Unless you change OS....

my xperia x10 2.3.3 fw and before that doesn't bug me this much.
if all 3.2 fw tablet does it then i would blames on 3x
go ahead turn on your auto brightness and browse the net in a well lid room.
I have one that is doing the same thing. Also every now and then the screen shuts off and I cant get it to come back on for awhile unless I hold power for like 30 sec. Is this a defective tablet or honeycomb 3.2? Thanks!
I'm telling you guys, I sell the things andI KNOW the issue they are taking about. We played with the settings all day and it kept happening but the issue NEVER happened to any of the other units. It's most likely a defective unit because as I said, it only happened to the one unit.

i think they are not available in Europe yet - so you should be able to sell the cover easily if you ship internationally

I have had my Verizon Note 2 for about a month now, and about 2 days ago i read that the processor has Vulnerabilities and mailware problems samusing is trying to fix but about a week ago i went to use my quick glance and my direct call and it wasnt working and when someone calls me i put it up to my ear the screen goes black as it should but then its stuck at the black screen i hit all the buttons cant get to the phone call if i wanted to put it on speaker or even just check a txt message i cant do anything until that person hangs up. The only way i am able to check my txt messages and stuff while on the phone is if i dont put it up to my ear.. so i restarted phone as we all would assume this would fix it well it didnt, so then i did a Factory reset thinking that would just put it back to complete stock and fix it well turns out that didnt work. My phone has never been rooted or anything and never will be. Im running Android 4.1.1 If anyone has any idea how i can fix this it would be gladly appreciated i love the motion features. Also i did the Gyroscope calibration and it didn't make any difference, my proximity sensor is on and glowing red just doesnt work like i said.
Thanks, Stephen

That exploit that you are referring to has nothing to do with your issue... And the proximity sensor does not light up as that is the LED notification light. I have this issue from time to time too and it's just that the sensor is not doing it's job properly but if you just simply hit the home button or power button real quick the screen will turn on. Other than that you may want to check some of your settings... Turn off your "motion" settings and see if that takes care of your issue then find out which one is causing the problem...
The quick glance used to work without any problems at all and i liked that, then all of a sudden one day it just decides not to work and it hasn't worked in a week now, i turned my motion off and when im in a phone call it still locked up at the phone screen i cant do anything until they hang up ive gone through the settings multiple times and nothing, i think imma go to verizon today and ***** about it

actually the proximity sensor DOES light up, it's a very faint red light and it's the left one of the two little holes to the _right_ of the phone speaker, the notification LED is on the left of the phone speaker. This light turns on when in a phone call to indicate that the sensor has been activated.
I was woken last night by a flashing light in my room, the screen on my N10 was cycling between white, black, and backlight off.
The power button would not wake the device, the only thing I could do is hold the power button down until it turned off.
On powering back up, everything was fine and it didn't do it again.
I don't have any apps installed that would cause this, no screen flash notifiers or anything like that, what the hell happened?
I had that happen once, about three weeks ago. Also don't know why, but it hasn't happened again since.

Maybe OP has an Ouija Board app installed on his N10!?!?
Happened to me too
The screen was flashing a monochrome pattern that looked like a TV test pattern. I had to reboot by holding down the power button. It hasn't happened yet. It also went completely black another time and wouldn't respond, I had to reset it that time as well. I was afraid that it was because I bought a reburbished Nexus 10. I'll repost if it happens again.

You bought a refurbished N10? Interesting. I'm curious - how well does it perform? Any issues, other than the aforementioned? I can only afford a refurbished model at the moment, I'm looking at the one currently on eBay buy-it-now 32GB for $430; are the speakers okay? How is the battery life? Solid?
Sorry for derailing the topic, you're just one of the first that I've seen who have bought a refurbished model.
That's probably the memory leak in the graphics driver that some people mentioned (and the crash resulting from it). I had this happening 2 or 3 times on my N10, but only after long uptimes (2-3 weeks). Until it gets hopefully fixed .. reboot more often.
It works well. The speakers sound great, the battery life is pretty good (I use it a lot). It does charge a bit slow, but I may buy the pogo charger.

Hey, my battery life on a newly flashed CM10 is about 3-4 hours on low brighteness and disabled wifi, gps, and bluetooth. I also calibrated battery using the root toolbox app on google play (cant use the BSR for stock ROM). Another thing is that when i select anything but auto brightness the hard key lights stay on no matter what the sensor detects until the next reboot and then they stay off regardless of the sensor. When I use my phone in absolute darkness and the hard key lights are on, i can see a sliver of light bleeding through the borders of my phone and it getts really hot.

You battery life seems similar to what I am experiencing. I have to charge my phone twice daily with Cm10 vs every other day on the stock ROM. However, I do not have any issues with the hard key lights being stuck on all the time on the light bleeding.
My phone does get hotter than it did on the stock ROM, but that may be caused be some other factor.

well all i can say is if your phone runs fine on stock its the rom. if it has all around problems (stock or not) i would sbf dont root and try to get another phone out of the company.
Hey,
i am having some trouble with my Le Max 2. My screen does not wake up anymore, but the phone is still active. This especially takes place, when the screen is off for more than 5 minutes or so. Then i only get a black screen and hear the unlocking noise, but i cannot see the content any more. Backlight is working, but only a black screen. Whatsapp Web, etc. still works when the screen wont turn on. The only thing i can do then is to press the power for 10s to force a restart. Then everything works like a charm until the screen is of for a specific time.
I already flashed new ROMs (RR Nougat, MIUI Marshmallow) both dirty and clean. Also did multiple full wipes. problem is still there. Anybody of you already had something similar?
Do you think its HW or SW related?
Thank you so much

I tried going back to stock. But i am pretty sure now its some HW issue. The screen just wont turn on when the phone itself is cold. When i pull it out of my pocket and its kinda warm, it works like a charm.
But if it is sitting on the table / i have it in my hands outside - the screen wont turn on anymore. If its too cold it wont even reboot...
Stange problem - could there be any loose solderings or something?
