Soft button always on, also when the phone is off

[sanga92]

Hi guys... i have a serious problem. Soft touch button is always on, although the phone is off. I supposed that was a problem of cm9 kernel. But now I have flashed cm7.2 with cm7 kernel but the problem persists ... the level of the button light was very low... but they are on...

I need some help

Give a try to CM7.1 that is stable... if it doesn't have this bug you may be certain that is a rom related problem... in last case this can be edited in build.props... i believe that you could disable from there, besides i don't think that is a good solution...

I have this problem with some build/nightly someday, but could not remember what one... changing rom solved...

Thank you so much. But the strange thing us that now I have flashed the froyo Nordic sbf. And the problem persist. The problem is that I have to pull out the battery everytime I shut down the phone. However I will try cm 7.1.... thanks

hum... them it was two diferent problems.... i believe that flashing nordic that is a stock sbf should solve both problems... but if they persist then this are beyond my simple knowledges...
good luck indeed!

Always on means always responds to presses or just the light is always on?

 

[sanga92]

On... minimum level but on.....

Its really weird try flashing some other sbf for your phone and see else it might be a hardware issue.

I have exactly the same problem for months. I can't remember what caused it but it has remained so even after flashing back to official rom.
I consulted a local customer service center and they said this was a hardware issue. The motherboard has to be replaced to solve it.

If you are lucky you might get your bootloader unlocked.

Just wanted to say that I got the same problem on Defy+ since rooting
(DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed) and installing Epsis CM9.

Don´t see why this should be hardware-related.

Update: fixed after different cm9 flash and cache clean

I though it was hardware related as even if I turn it off, remove the battery, when I just put it in the soft buttons glow but as I didn't notice how it was before the first flash I can't tell for sure but after reading this I still have a hope.

I am having this problem with my Defy. Currently I have CyanogenMod v9-20121116-Nightly-jordan and I am still suffering the problem although I have tried several flashs. Could you please explain how did you solve it?

Thank you very much!!

I will reply to myself a year and a half later. After bricking my defy I followed this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956 and... booom! Apparently with that SBF the problem with the soft keys is gone!

Although it is a bit late, just in case someone is still using this wondeful phone this will help to safe some battery!
