[Q] [CM11] Reboots with every notification with screen off

[Jucarez]

Hi there, guys.
I did a wide search in Google/XDA/whatever and didn't manage to find anything related to my problem, so I'm posting it here :good:

My S3 Mini (I8190N) runs flawless and quite smooth on NovaFusion/Maclaw 20140524. Using Gravity Box for enabling navbar (since the I8190N loses its capacitive buttons when changes the kernel) did the trick and fully usable...

Except for one little BIG bug: everytime I receive a notification (Whatsapp, Gmail, FB, SMS, calls, doesn't matter which app) while the screen is off, it reboots. Every. Single. Notification. Cause of this, my battery lasts just a couple of hours, since is rebooting non stop, and I lose a lot of important things (calls, alarms, SMS, you name it)

I tried some things:
- Installing today's NovaFusion release (didn't solved);
- Clean installing 20140524 again (nope) and clean installing today's release (nope again);
- Removing Xposed and Gravity Box (I thought it could be some incompatibility, but nope);
- Disabling lockscreen (to test if the problem was with lockscreen itself, but no).

Following the logic, it appears to be something related to notifications waking up the screen (the phone even vibrates a little before restarting again), but I didn't find any configuration related to this.

So please, anyone? Any advices? Any solutions? This issue is getting me heads off

Strange bug indeed and i have no idea why. The vibration on boot is always there to tell that bootloader boots. Its easier to troubleshoot a black phone that way, according to the service manual.

Since there seem to be issues with the capacitive button lights on your device, I would assume that the problem is with BLN (Back light notification) which activate the capacitive button backlights when you receive a notification and the screen is off.

I would suggest that you check to see if BLN is enabled and disable it. There is a BLN Control App in the Play store :good:

This makes a HUGE sense! :victory:
(still weird, tho, that only the I8190N loses its capacitive buttons on new kernel, but not entering this discussion haha)

Will try this, @Meticulus. Thanks in advance

Download Disable_BLN.zip and flash in recovery. See if it works. My backlight are always off with this flashed.

Thank you! Now it works perfectly fine Finally found the solution after few months, thank you!

Hi guys,

I tried it. It's working perfectly. Hallelujah!

Now I'm discovering the Xposed to do a lot of other things (autohide the navbar, disable the "3-dot" button on apps, etc)
Thank you very much!

Unfortunately, the workaround "patch" is not available anymore :crying:

would it be possible to upload it again anywhere, maybe here?

or is there another possibility to fix that problem yet?
