Root Screen Turns on by touching it? Even if the screen is turned off?

[Leelouster]

I JUST finished rooting my Precedent by using the "One Click Root" with the one that says, "Deleting all yo shit", and I noticed that when I turn off my screen, the bottom 4 buttons still stays on? (The Menu Button, Home Button, Back Button, and Search Button)

Every time I touch the phone's screen while it's off, the bottom 4 buttons light up, then turn off. I have a feeling I'm going to be wasting a lot of battery this way...I usually have it in my pocket all day in school.

Is there ANY way I can fix it?

Please don't tell me I have to do a factory reset... The last thing I want to do is reset all my contacts and apps, and have to enter my contacts one by one, and re download all my apps...

- By the way, I'm still rooted. I have the Super User app

Can't check the settings on my phone as it's running Cyanogen Mod so my settings options are different, but I'd look there first.

Regarding your contacts though, have you set them to sync with Google? That will allow you to just download them again every time you have to reset your phone. It takes a lot of pressure off playing with your phone.

As for apps, you could back up with Titanium Backup. You'll still have to restore from backup though so it's not much fun.

Well I restarted my phone and it went back to normal...but NOW....my phone battery is dying like crazy?? Within TWO hours it went from 100 to 40 percent. And I wasn't even using it! I had to turn it off. I'm using PowerMax (been using it for like two months now) and it's help saved my battery. But now that I rooted it, the battery is dying on me twice as fast. I had to turn off the wi-fi and auto-sync so it wouldn't drain THAT fast...:/ Any suggestions?

And Yeah, I'm synced with Google though, I'm not sure if my contacts are being backed up.

You can check if your contacts are being backed up through Google Dashboard:

In fact you can find everything Google has about you there. It can be a little eye opening.

As for the phone dying, I think it's one of two things. I seems like there's a process running that's churning through the battery.

Try something like Advanced Task Manager to see what running on the phone and kill some apps to see if that clears it up.

The second option would be a hardware issue with the battery, but that seems unlikely if the phone was working fine before you rommed it.
