I tried searching if this happens to anybody else, but couldn't find it. Since I updated to lollipop (I put original polish rom first via odin) whenever my auto brightness is turned on, when I wake the phone using home key or power button, my screen turns on with full brightness for a half second or something like that, and than goes back to normal.... I thought it was a bug on polish ROM, so I flashed austrian rom, but no improvement. Now I have custom TW rom, and it is still the same. When I turn auto brightness off, it doesn't happen. So I suspect it to be that screen turns before the light sensor on unlock, and it is set to full brightness always. is there some file I can edit, so screen starts at lowest brightness or delay screen start for half a second so the sensor can start first.
It is killing me when I get a message while sleeping in a dark room, and I want to check it, it blinds me so I wake up, and can't go back to sleep later!!!
LOL I have the same problem, which is extremely irritating to say the least, but I had no idea that it had to do with auto brightness! I am on latest AryaMod, which is stock TW based ROM, so I guess its a problem of all the TW releases?
Don't know! I will ask this in AryaMod topic and see whether dev will be more than kind to provide us a solution. Thanks for creating the topic, I had thought about it a lot of times, but was never intrigued enough.

I tried flashing 5.0.1, but it didn't fix it, I also have a problem with screen not turning off during calls now, which rom are you using?

Well, my streak on 2.1 was doing this for a while but not anymore after a reboot: When the screen time out kicked in, the screen would not turn off, instead it would dim the screen but I could still see the Beautiful Home Clock. You still need to hit the power button to unlock the phone. Anyone know how I can enable this feature again?

I have the exact issue. I am running 2.1 on att dell streak.
At first I thought i fixed it, i turned the style lock feature off. it started to turn dark for a couple hours then reverted back to doing the dim on lock.
i sometimes have issues d/c calls because its dim and un-responsive.
I have dont alot of searching on this matter and dont know what to think.
I also have this problem... reading over at modaco, there's a bunch of other people with the same problem. They're saying if you turn off wifi before locking the phone, it doesn't occur. Mine only seems to have the problem every once in awhile though, so I haven't been able to test it myself yet. You might want to try it and see what happens.
Ah ok, i went back and searched and found the post you were talking about.
i would post the link but new users cant link, its under 2.1 bugs in modaco streak forums.
Too bad that turning wifi off for me isnt really an option because usually it wont let me turn it back on
I'm having issues where after going to sleep, it wakes up with the lcd very dark. It doesn't matter which level of brightness I put it on, the lcd is still hard to see. Rebooting solve the problem. Just wondering if anyone experienced this too. I hope it isn't my lcd dying...
This happen on both froyostone and bangster. I'm on the latest radio using tmousa.
I had this on bangsters 1.2, but haven't seen it on 1.3b, but only been running that build for a few days.

i had this a few times before on a shubi build. I came to the conslusion that it is the screen not fully coming out of sleep. Seeing as it only happened when I put the phone to sleep and then tried to wake it immeadiately or got frustrated and impatient with it and tried tapping buttons repeatedly until the screen came on.

I had this same experience. Patience is a virtue with these phones. As long as I wait if its taking a bit to come out of sleep, I get zero problems.

thanks for the advice. I hope its just a software glitch. I will just have to be more patient when coming out of sleep.
My solution

Here is my solution, i posted it in a similar thread, I think the key element here is the bsb tweaks part, hope it helps, thanks:
I solved this problem in my phone.
even turn on/off/on/off/on/off etc the screen, the devices wakes up correctly every time.
I don't really what exactly fixed but.
i installed Miris romm 20.0, then i turned off the auto screen off *start/system/power, so the screen nevers dims or turn off. I turned off the charge the device when it is connected to the computer, turned off quiet pickup, turned off 3g.
and now i think this is the key, installed bsb tweaks and turned off everything(even power savings), disable data connections and screen rotation, I only left use high glymp cache. reboot and run android, in winmo i dont have anything installed besides bsb1.6
in android i have the task killer on and set cpu at 768mhz ondemand. no profiles. battery last well over 24 hrs moderate use. by the way im using shubcraft, and the gsensor disabled kernel. thanks,
edit: also my auto sync is off in android and my wifi is always on.
I dealt with the problem by putting a widget to control screen brightness on my home page, if it goes dim I can find it ' blind'
Sent from my HD2 on mattc froyo sense.
Yeah it does happen to me if I'm being impatient and banging on the screen before it fully wakes up. Haven't found a real solution yet, but so far I would just try my luck by turning on/off/on/off several times, hoping that it get stucks momentarily again to let if "fully" wake up. Worst case scenario, reboot.
SOD and random screen freezes has been bothering me almost always. I was reading all over the xda, different complains and strange solutions for them. I almost tried all of them and NONE is REALLY working (at least for me).
Recently I notice that when I wake up my phone (with yes button) after turning on, LCD immediately turns off. I mean after waking up the lcd, even if it is awake and responses to screen touch (even I can unlock it) but the LCD is off!!!! in this situation if I continue touching the screen it comes to life after couple of seconds and if not it goes back to sleep mode.
I wanted to see if anybody else has experienced same thing and If there is any solutions for it or not.
my android is HyperDroid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769026
and my kernel is hastarin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787588
I assume you are using the auto backlight...
If so search the problem is discussed in the hyperdroid thread.
Hold up to a bright light when that happens.
hold up to a lightbulb and then turn of autobrightness.

Not only hold it up to a bright light, but once the screen comes back on go insto display settings and turn off the auto brightness. If our using hyperdroid you should try phiremod CM6
I had this problem. I also search xda to find solutions. The only thing that worked for me was to update to the latest radio. 2.15.50 if you havent tried that already
good luck

My Radio is 2.15 already.
I will try the bright bulb and turning off the auto balcklight to see wat happens. I hope it fix the problem. I will report back with the result.
Thank you everybody for the replies. I really appreciate it.
For EVO kernels, screen backlight turns off when brightness value is set lower than 30. Meanwhile the default lowest autobacklight level is 20. If you use a Cyanogenmod build, the levels can be adjusted, but the "screen dim level" cannot be set to values greater than 26.
The best solution would be lowering turn-off threshold in backlight driver to 20 or less.

Thank you.
I used the trick and when I turned the auto balcklight off, it seems that my problems are gone.

About PhireMod, I switched to it and till now LATE WAKE UP time is gone. It is waking up very fast and normal. Of course it had the same auto backlight problem which got fixed by disabling it.
Also for me HyperDroid was not giving me bluetooth and it was causing the phone process to FC. But PhireMod successfully passed the bluetooth test and I am using it now.
Thank you again for hints and suggesting the PhireMod.
Bug fix ??
When updated to 4.4 on verizon I noticed that the screen doesnt lock or go back to the slide setting I set it to after a missed call. This is a headache because screen stays on, it makes me accidentally open apps and make calls, and runs battery fast because screen stays on. For those who have updated already does 4.4.2 fix this? Also is the lowest brightness still super high? Or did it get fixed back to how it was on 4.2.2? Thanks in advance.
...
You post your question, and then minutes later post ..... as if we don't care about you. Pipe-down, please.
To answer your question, I haven't had the issue you're saying. The screen locks back automatically on mine, and furthermore, the Active Notifications shows I've missed a call. Check your dialer settings, reboot your phone, and worst case scenario, FR the phone.

Hi guys,
I have upgraded my n9005 to KK for a while now. And it seems that with KK 4.4.2 randomly break my auto brightness from time to time. This issue occurs the same time when an incall screenoff stop working.
To begin with, after a while of usage the auto brightness feature breaks where it did not adjust automatically. I got a very dim brightness level eventhough it's a night time. Also the auto brightness level doesn't work as well. But when I turned this feature off the brightness slider works again. Now while this is happening and I'm on the call my screen won't turn off automatically during the call or when I have finished my call the screen wont turn on. So for both issues I have to manually activate the screen via Home/power button. Moreover, I have notcied that while this is happening when I entered Camera app, the screen will be fixed on the landscape mode only and there is no way I can make portrait back again.
To be even more surprise, these issues will be gone and come back from time to time without restarting. However, upon restarting everything works fine for a while.
What I have tried to solve this issue:
- Reflash stock firmware (official version of my country)
- Clear dalvik
- Flash stock firmware (latest version from DBT)
Still I'm unable to solve these issues. I'm wondering that have any of you guys are facing these issues as well? I have searched and it seems that I'm only one having these problems. I just want to know whether this is only software or hardware related
Thanks

Kinda noticed this while I was briefly on kk. If you're on AT&T keep in mind that it was not the official release, and bugs are present.

Thanks for letting me know that this is common for KK on N9005. LOL I thought it was HW related issue though
