I'm using 4.4.2 leaked de-odexed rom, everything seems fine so far, other than the few minor things,
but I can't help but notice that my auto brightness is not working at all.
it is not adjusting the brightness of the screen, yet when I check the auto off , and move the slides it works as nothing wrong. so, I can clearly say that this isn't the hardware problem.
is this just me?
Mine is a little sketchy, but it works. Mainly when I unlock. It takes a few seconds to adjust. Stock root 442.

Ok, So I've had my Acer A500 for quite some time now. Couple years in fact. Anyway a few months after getting it I noticed that I couldn't change the display brightness whatsoever. Also the autobrightness did nothing even tho I had tested the sensor and it came out fine. Now I don't know if this problem existed before I rooted and installed a custom rom, however no matter the rom the brightness still will not adjust. I have even taken the tablet apart and made sure the cable to the screen was seated well. I'm wondering if anyone might know if this is a hardware issue what may be causing it? or if it may be a driver/software problem.
I've just noticed that the brightness slider moves from end to end with no change in screen brightness.
Anyone got a fix?
Android 5.0.2
Yes, I have the same problem. Mine is weird though. Mine will sometimes get bright and match the setting, but a majority of the time it goes to the most dim level on the screen regardless of where the brightness level is set. I'm hoping that it is something that I can fix, but I don't know if people will say that it's a hardware issue. My Tab is rooted again after I reinstalled the stock firmware again to try and fix the problem. Hopefully someone can offer an insight to this problem. I'm wondering if taking it apart and heating up the processor with a heat gun would cause it to work. That worked as a temporary fix on an Apple computer.
I have the same problem after I rooted the tablet. The only solution I found is install the app Screen Filter.
Are you on a custom ROM?
Can you reproduce the issue with a stock ROM?
If not,its probably the custom ROM have bugs.
Or maybe sth else
Hello everyone, I've noticed recently that whenever my phone is under direct sunlight, the screen doesn't get as bright as before, in fact it's barely visible with auto and maximum brightnes. I also noticed that the "Optimized for outdoors visibility" (sort of) is no longer mentioned under the brightness slider.
I haven't modified my phone nor flashed any custom kernel, it's running the latest officially available XEF firmware.
I've done tests under the *#0*# menu and the sensor seems to be working just fine reacting to changes, also was using Samsung good lock and though it was the culprit so I removed it but the issue remains. So I really have no idea what might be the problem here, any advice guys :/ ? Thanks!!
As the title suggests these functions won't work. Autorotate started working briefly but now it is still not functional. The hardware is fine, since testing the accelerometer with an app showed change in all directions. Suggestions?
at least give more details. what rom are you on? when did they stop working?
I am running marshmalux v2 with squid's kernel and xposed installed. I am not really sure when it started since my default set up is portrait mode. However a month or so ago when I tried to watch a video on yt the screen wouldn't rotate even though I had shifted to auto rotate. What is really puzzling is that camera rotation works fine.
EDIT: Flashed another ROM to check if the issue persists. It didn't help.

So I have an update on my issue. Maybe it can help someone else but I have partially solved it. As I said earlier flashing stock didn't fix it. Even after frashing a complete factory image, the issue persisted. What seemed to remedy the issue was flashing non-stock based roms such as cyanogen. The gestures still don't work, but auto-rotation functions as it should.
I would be grateful if somebody has a suggestion. I really want to try spectrum ROM, which is stock based.

Hi all,
I recently upgraded from 4.4.2 stock rom to 6.0.1 stock rom and everything worked fine except the GPS. I tried a few different fixes like changing the gps.conf, and a few different apps and could see there was some signal but it could never seem to get a lock. Sometimes it seemed to get a lock for a split second then drop it again.
I ended up going back to my 4.4.2 and GPS works fine again. So the simple conclusion is this is firmware based. I'm no expert but would be willing to help if someone wants to investigate this further. There has to be some GPS related files from the KK firmware that can be exported to MM to make it work

GPS has always been kinda weak and slow due to the module itself. Did you experience the auto brightness bug as well?

Auto-brightness was working fine for me. Just the GPS issue noted.
