[Q] Capacitive Buttons Light Randomly - HTC First

Running the 1.08 DeOdexed ROM (rooted & s-off) with Facebook & AT&T "stuff" removed.
When using the Amazon Kindle app I've noticed that the three capacitive buttons will light periodically for a few seconds (causing a slight screen dimming) and then go out. Then repeat some seconds later. I haven't noticed any particular pattern or that this happens in any other app.
Any ideas?
Thanks, -- Larry

Thank you. Interestingly, the app works great, but the /sys/class .... hack did not stick.

N1 wifi in europe

Currently staying in europe for a month and having some problems with my n1 on wifi. It finds a connection and connects to it but it will not open up any sites or update any apps. My ipod touch works fine but the n1 will not. It is rooted and it does work 100% fine in the US any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Anyone any suggestions?
Soft reset. When you power your phone on, press the trackball before you see any animation or images. That will take you to a white screen with a few options in small text, use the volume rocker to select the one that says reset (I am pretty sure that is washtub it says, but I'll check.) and use the power button to confirm your selection.

I assume you are wanting to disable the capacitative buttons all together, to which you just got to settings-> advanced-> disable capacitative buttons. Hope that helps.

But, if you are trying to only turn off the lights and still using the capacitive buttons, hold the "menu"button for 3 seconds,
The lights go off and still work.

That's a neat trick. My G-Tab's captivity buttons has randomly light-up in the middle of the night since I installed the CM9 (and AOKP) ICS.

In settings > display > notification lights = left disable.
It's a setting to blink capacitive when you have email, SMS, or missed calls, or other notifications.
I don't like, so i left my disabled.

The correct way to turn the lights off for the capacitive buttons is this:
Settings -> Advanced (under device) -> Screen tab -> Backlight (under touchkeys) turn it off.
Note that here you can also change the timeout if you wish to keep them on but for a shorter period of time

Overheating: Unresponsive Touchscreen Glitch

I've noticed that whenever my One overheats or gets too warm, the screen will start to tweak and register hundreds of "ghost touches", if I could call them this.
For instance, the home/back, power, volume, and screen will register as being activated, which in turn causes the phone to (a) take a screenshot, (b) switch between desktop and recent apps, launch GoogleNow, etc. These actions happen fast and don't stop. The phone registering even results in the vibration feedback tweaking, so the phone is vibrating, switching screens/activities, screenshotting, and just generally tweaking all at once.
The only way to stop it is to turn off the phone using the soft reset method, hitting the volume down button on reboot to get into quick menu, shutting it down, letting it cool off, then rebooting.
Anyone else having these issues?
Firmware is the latest update, but I've been having this problem since the last build. Hoped update would fix it. OR stay in A/C rooms haha.
TL;DR: When One begins to overheat, the capacitive home/back buttons, side buttons, touchscreen itself become completely unresponsive and registers hundreds of "ghost" touches.
I have the same problem!

Maybe it's the new firmware... When I flashed the firmware, my ROM wouldn't respond on the touchscreen at all but TWRP did so I flashed ARHD and it's fine now.

When it's happened (2-3 times) I was using ElementalX 2.4 as kernel, now with the stock one everything seems ok

Sounds more like the touchscreen driver changes

[Q] (Q) HELP, HTC one, black screen, both buttons flashing

Hi I really need help with my HTC one,
I came back to it while it was charging, and the screen was on displaying dialog box saying that the phone will restart in one second. I barely had time to read the text but the phone went to a full black screen with both the back button and the home button flashing. Now these two buttons are constantly flashing even though I'm not holding any of the volume or power buttons down.
So both buttons have been flashing for over an hour now and they keep going. I've tried holding down the power button nothing happens. I tried holding down the volume keys nothing happens. Power and volume down...nothing.
I need some help thanks

Sounds maybe like a hardware problem? Try holding down power button while holding the phone directly under a bright light for around 30secs. If that doesn't work try power and volume down together, again under a bright light until your bootloader screen appears.

Bright light helped,
Power button managed to get the HTC quietly brilliant screen, but then goes to black screen and back to that htc screen again and again...
Power and volume down gets me to bootloader screen but within a few seconds I get back to the same looping htc screen...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Wait a minute...
Got passed that screen, saw my wallpaper, then it booted again...and again, and again...
Would it be because I was too anxious and went to the bootloader screen too many times?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Every time I go to the bootloader screen, I barely have time to do anything before I get back to the looping htc screen.
Now, for some reason, I got a screen with an exclamation mark in a triangle over a phone, stayed on for about two minutes, then back into the looping htc quietly brilliant screen...

Are you running everything stock? Recovery, unrooted, etc?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Stock, not rooted,
How would I know if I'm in recovery...? So most likely I would guess that I wasn't, unless I am now since fiddling around the bootloader screen (like I said, on that screen I have about two seconds where I can move up or down but then I don't have time to select an option and the phone goes to the HTC screen...)

You probably weren't in recovery. Did you get the phone new or used? If your bootloader screen says **LOCKED** at the top of the screen and you got it new, if it were me I'd take it back to where I got it.
Sorry I can't help more, maybe someone else can help if they've seen this before..
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Got it new, says locked on top of the bootloader screen.
Factory reset at that point?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Don't ask me how but now I'm passed the booting screen and can use the phone.
BUT, both buttons are flashing...
Also, can't restart...holding the power button down won't do anything
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Like I said, if it were me I'd take it back for repair/replacement. That's not normal - especially for a device that's completely stock.

i'd try a factory reset if you can boot it.. if this does not help send it in for warranty.
How did you end up getting this fixed. I'm just getting this same problem and I have no clue how to fix it.

[Q] Lock Phone - Can't Use Buttons & Wake It Up Again

So for some reason, randomly, I will lock my phone and not be able to unlock it or get the screen to come back on.
So I will lock my phone - come back - screen will be off - can't press any keys (home, power, volume) and get a response. Notifications and stuff still happens. I have to hold the power button in which the screen flashes (a line shoots across the screen, disappears and then Galaxy Note 3 shows up).
any recomendations?
That's not even close to right. I would be taking it back to where I bought it.

This must be a software issue. I've had this happen to me as well. Only once in the last two weeks. Seemed to happen when locking and unlocking repetitively.

Yeah, sometimes it wont happen for a long time. Sometimes it will happen repeatedly.
I dont know if related, by Knox keeps saying something about software trying to access information every time I reboot. I have no idea WHAT app its talking about because it doesnt freakin tell me.
Happened once and can assure you its a software issue. If it continues to be a problem I would recommend a factory reset.
