Wow,
Do samsung have a QC dept at all?

yes replace if will be possible.

What causes that white spot? I have one but its extremely tiny. I have heard about the yellow tint.

Isn't that a smudge on the screen?

I have that as well! Only notice a part of the screen looks grey when on black background. Will Sammy still replace it even though I've rooted it before? I'll obviously flash it back to stock.

Solution... Maybe
k i have had this scenario before and it was mainly because of me flashing things that were not for my firmware version like flashing boot animation that was for 2.3.5 when my firmware is 2.3.6 and what i did was to reflash the custom rom i had like crisleko. The whole screen became white after that. Hope this helps!

I ended up backing up my apps with Titanium Backup and just restored the phone. So far it has been working! (with vibrate as well) Thanks for the tip though!

Is anyone else still having this issue. I'm having it as well. I'm running stock\rooted which i have debloated myself. Is there an app i removed that could cause it or and app I added that's causing the problem..What would cause your notification sound to stop playing in the middle. I wonder if deleting the stock music app would cause the issue...

Mine does this as well sometimes it just started happening randomly. Sometimes it works correctly, sometimes it doesn't.

Mine started doing this last night and has continued most of the time today as well. Haven't done anything yet other than change the tone to a different one and back to the other without any luck.

Mine does this too.

Brightness Slider Gone

I'm rooted running stock with no mods flashed and I'm not sure why but sometime over the past few days my brightness adjuster has disappeared from my notifications. I enjoyed having it there and if it's just a setting I've hit that's be awesome. Otherwise I might just flash a rom to fix it.

You can see if it is turned on.
Click on settings
My Device
Display
Notification Panel
Then click Brightness Adjustment
If it unchecked that is why you don't see it. Unfortunately I have no clue why it turns off if you are not doing it.

Thanks lol. I looked for a setting but evidently I didn't try hard enough.

No problem, Samsung had to move all the settings around in 4.2, making it harder for everyone

It disapears when your battery hits 5%
Comes back when you are at 6% or higher

please help *my brightness adjuster has disappeared,
I have it enabled in the settings

Yeah mine has disappeared too, this is the second time I reset my phone once and it came back now it has happened again. No one seems to know why...

Night Mode
If you have the app Night Mode. Turn it on (start) then turn it off (stop). The slider should appear again, as long as you have it checked in the settings.

Then what I'd do is:
1. Factory reset
2. Reflash ROM
3. Exchange phone

Ya i guess will do that, but a little later. Phone works fine otherwise and honestly i don't even think i will use any of this features, maybe wait for a few months and then get a new one in exchange

It won't work in dark environment, you need to be in good light.

[Q]Brightness issues AOSP 4.4.2 ROMs

Ha all!
I have issues with brightness on all AOSP 4.4. ROMs - screen is veeeeeryyy dim after call or after unlocking device from lockscreen.
Is anybody have solution for it??
Can our developers @dhacker29 , @arrrghhh , @timpohladthomas , @Somber73 or anybody else fix it?
I can't believe that those problems annoys only me! ))

Maybe it has something to do with automatic brightness being on? Not exactly sure

I was going to ask a similar question.
Keep in mind, I do not actually own a xt907. I do not seem to have any sort of brightness issues on my xt897...

I was think about automatic brightness... But I have thee same issues without it...
I have this problems with brightness only on KK ROMs.. And all my friends, who use KK on XT907 have the same issues... :crying:

I also have this issue on KitKat ROMs. It not an auto brightness issue because it does it at all brightness settings even max.
Screen will light up dim at first and about 10-15 seconds after it will finally adjust to the level it's set it.

That's very odd. I hope they fix that.

When I first used gravity box on 412 it had same bug. But now the updated gb no longer does it. Try installing gb? Then enable the brightness slider.
