Shift screen brightness 'Auto' setting - yours work?

As per the title, does the screen brightness 'Auto' setting and the light sensor actually do anything? Seems to make no difference on mine....

Hi,
yes it did, but I switched it off, cause it was too nervous. Brightness changed all the time when lonely clouds were passing, or the the cloudy thumb cast a shadow.

Yes it works!:
Use Shagctrl to lower brightness and then switch it on. The brightness level you chose will be the minimum level.
If you cover the sensor in the top right-hand corner, the screen will dimm. When you aim you flashlight on it, it will brighten.
(at least... mine does...)
However, I don't use it, because my hand will frequently get in the way when I use the touchscreen and then my screen brightens suddenly... Verry anoying.

Hi,
this is a different question, but I didn't want to open another thread.
Who can confirm this?
Vista is running in the "background". Your are in WM, but have shut-down WM. So dark screen. But then exactly when Vista goes into standby (green light starts to blink) the WM screen comes to live.
Is that strange? Or just always the case?
Thanks!
S.

Hi Pantaloonie,
this looks like capital punishment for me, so sorry! Next question from several feet under.
Let me explain:
I am rather a newbie using forums like this, means the does and do nots are not always clear. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
My thoughts were 1. the point was answered and 2. there are so many items on the site that it is not necessary to always start a new thread for every minor problem.
Wrong thinking?
Please, I really do not know, can you clarify? Do you really start a new thread for everything?
Thanks!
S.

Heh, I was just having a bit of fun, you did nothing wrong. Some forums can be very strict about keeping threads on topic, but we are pretty relaxed here.
The advantage of starting a new thread is that more people will see it, you're more likely to get an answer.

Auto unlock on receiving call using BT headset

Gents,
Here is a little thing bothering me.
I use a BT headset most of the time, keeping the phone in a pocket/backpack while playing music.
The thing is that when receiving a call and answering it using the BT Headset buttons, the phone still wakes up and unlocks itself. Meaning that the device is now accessible by the touch panel but in my pocket/backpack thus messing with it.
Is there way to prevent that ?
So when answering to a call from a BT headset the device remains locked.
Thanks for any help on that.
David.

Anybody with that same problem ?
David on HD2

Hi there David,
I have had the same issue with my HTC HD2 for the past 6 months since I bought the phone and have not seen anyone come up with a resolution for this!
Even the Iphone handles this simple problem better.
I cannot understand how they can release a fantastic phone like the HTC HD2 that can just about replace a computer but can not do the simple job of not unlocking the handset when controlled with a bluetooth device.
I can only hope that there is a programmer out there that could tweek the registry to solve out problem.
Thanks Ace

Exactly. I feel the same way too. But just have to live with it I guess, just leave it and wait for the auto lock to kick in again

So I guess it is a wellknow problem with no solution or work around... at least we know.
Not pleasant to live with... having to stop on the side of the road because a call kick in while riding in the hot tropical summer.
David BT HD2 ironhorsing in Taiwan.

there is a solution, it's called s2u2. It has settings to set it to lock on call when using BT.

you want the wvga version.

Finaly hope arise... I am trying it right away.
Thank you very much for that.

Confirmed! It works!
Thank you very much nrfitchett4 .
And it gives some more life to the standby/locked screen.
Although one might want to change the default wallpapers...
The only little inconvenience of this app is that you have to re-start it after a soft reset. But it is worth it.

what do you mean?
You shouldn't have to restart it after reset, just lock your phone. You can set it to lock on screen off, or screen on, or manually.

nrfitchett4 you are right... my bad... Sorry for the misunderstanding.
The app is still working after a reset.

very good. Seems to be the only lockscreen that doesn't cause occ. lockups on energy roms.

Cant confirm that.
I use the original ROM from HTC that came with the device.

No "Never" Option?

After stupidly posting a question in the Win7 forum about disabiling the screen lock while the phone is plugged in and playing music, I was directed to an option under the 5 minutes that says "Never". However, this option does not show up on my phone...any idea why?

I think it got removed with Nodo. Becos prior to Nodo my DVP had it and after nodo,its gone.

I see, is there a workaround? As you may know, we cant edit the registry on the DVP.

I am guessing that it has to do with AMOLED screen and its issue with screen burn-in.
All of HTC's and LG's (all of which uses LCD) have the "never" option, but none of Samsung's (which has AMOLED) have that option.

Odd. The "never" option is still there for me.

Apparently yours is either different or pre-nodo which is highly doubtful because everybody has nodo.

Are you talking about the Screen time-out setting? I still have the Never option and I have NoDo w/ firmware 105.

Yep, I'm all NoDo'd up plus the security update.
And, we all are talking about screen time out settings, yeah?

yes we are talking about screen time out settings. Here is a pic to help clear things up:

}
Little blurry but the meaning is there.

Just checking. Seemed to be some slight confusion brewing. But, yes... the "never" option is still available for me. I also have one of the DVPs which is experiencing fewer issues than many have reported.
Related? Ask Mr. Owl.

The Never option is only available when you have the password turned off. When you turn the password feature on, the Never option disappears and you are reset to the default 5 minutes.

well this is extremely confusing. I went to settings to check out the theory to see if its true and my phone locked up - first time ever. I havent done anything with it all day, no calls or texts have come in...
I will further investigate this.

restarting the device solved the problems.
I still see no never option, even when the password is turned off.

[Observations/Results] XXLSJ Lockscreen/Device Wakeup Freeze

I'm sure almost everyone has now experienced the freeze that happens sometimes when the device comes out of deep sleep, usually for a couple seconds.
I (personally) think its the only thing from making this ROM pretty near perfect. I have been trying to get to the bottom of this freezing issue for a few days and I'm sure a lot of other people have been trying too!
I have disable a whole bunch of things, and since it seems it could be related to WiFi (as many are reporting) I started disabling and uninstalling apps in different stages. Iv ended up with the following (see screenshots) disabled/uninstalled and have been repeatedly locking and unlocking the device (letting it enter deep sleep first of course) and have yet to experience the bug again.
Maybe it doesn't work for you, but perhaps someone can pick up from here and we can all get to the bottom of the problem! It might be impossible at this stage and may simply require a newer leak/release of JB for the i9100.

Hopefully this helps, if not I apologize, but think the problem needs any insight available

I have not freezed, deleted all the extra functionalities and stuff, but the problem is still there, even worst on wifi. I gave u a thank for make a step up to try to solve the problem

I have removed almost every single samsung app from syatem. Using apex instead of TW. Always have wifi turned off. Because i use my data plan. As its unlimited. I have this problem all the time. Is there anything i can do to help? Logcat or anything.

I think its a touch panel driver problem but better to do a logcat if you have time for this. I also have experienced the problem when trying to end a call.

Yes, last night I was using logcat and when the screen came on and froze the logcat contained data such as waiting for input, loading mali driver for touch recognition. I laso thought it could be related to motion control, as if its waiting for acceleration from it so as to use the camera motion shortcut etc but alas disabling motion didnt help either
Will upload a logcat or two later after college today!

It also happened to me too when trying to end a call after the screen came back on after taking the phone away from my eat. Ive also noticed that when the screen comes on and touch is unresponsive. The menu and back keys at the bottom are not lit. And after 4/5 seconds they light up and then it is working. Will post a logcat when i next experience it.

Tried many lock screen apps including the stock one, random freezing with all of them with wifi on. Have been using Holo Locker for a couple of days, seems to fix the problem.

I get around it like another user suggested,
I have a tasker that turns my wifi off when the screen goes off.
I also have phenomenal battery life this way. It is definitely a wifi issue.

my screen turns "on" itself to standby mode

Hello, when it happens something that I do not understand with my N4.
Whenever I lock my N4 pressing the button the screen turns off after a few seconds but then (this is random) it turns back on itself, arises on the lockscreen (my home is a diagram) and shuts itself anew after 2 minutes (because it's my time to sleep after non-use).
It breaks my head.
Have you any idea?.

Any special app ?

I do not know, this is not for a particular app.
When I use my phone normally and I put it to sleep, it locks, but the screen turns off after a few seconds the screen turns on for no reason.
And this happens several times per hour alone.
Sorry for my bad english, i am french.

I have the exact same thing! It's annoying! I presume it's a program I installed, but I don't know which. And I'm too lazy to uninstall them one by one... Any program I can use to see what's waking the screen? I'm not rooted btw...

Yes I think that is the cause of a program but I do not know which.
Is there an application to list the process?

Have you installed 'flipturn' or whatever it's called app ?

I don't have an app called flipturn. I don't have any app that starts with the word flip...

Me too i dont have an app called flipturn..

If you don't have any "special" app, I would do a factory reset

It's not bothering me so much that I want to lose all my save data by doing a factory reset....

I had this issue and figured out how to fix it. Problem is, I don't remember how I fixed it. I think it was due to an app waking my phone. Check your apps to see if any of them have the permission to wake your device.

So I made ​​the restoration, i havent had the problem for more than 24 hours (I know because I watched all the time to see if it was ok or not after each lock, I watched as the one for minute)
But since today is the problem recurred.
So what I'll do, I'll redo a restore with the factory image but not new to reinstall my applications because it has to be somewhat of a blind application of the play.
Because I do not think the problem is hardware or it will be declared soon after the restoration, or it is returned after a ten hour (just after installing all my applications because I do not make on).

Its an apk, I had that problem with this apk..

It collects data on and off screen.

I wish I had that app so I could just remove it. Unfortunately I've never installed that app so must be another app.
