I've been looking for an app that is supposed to keep the screen brightness at a certain level no matter what app is running that could change the brightness. I have googled and googled and all I can find are auto brightness apps. The app I am thinking that I say my have been a script that runs in the background. My wifes eris keeps shooting the brightness to max all the time. Thanks!
You do know that the brightness slider can be set to a certain llevel.

Umm yes I do. My wife has an Eris rooted running exactly the same rom as mine and no matter what you set the brightness slider to, 5 minutes later, wake the phone up and poof brightness is at max. So my question again is that if anyone knows the app or script in question, your help would be greatly appreciated.
I second this, my phone does the same thing

Have you tried a different ROM? I had two Eris before my D2 and never had that issue.

Not so sure about that. Mine did it once or twice when still running the OTA 2.1... made me change the screen brightness from Auto to about 30~40%. Since running xtrSENSE 4.6.5 I haven't seen any problems with the screen brightness resetting to max. There are times when the auto brightness seems befuddled and selects a strangely dark setting, but it quickly settles down and works fine.
My money is on an ill-behaved app. What diff apps do you and your wife run?

The apps that she has that I don't are:
Bubbles
Connect4
eBay
FxCamera
Shazam
Sketcher
Maybe the camera app? I'll uninstall it and see.
I'm thinking the camera app. In the xtrSENSE thread, somebody mentioned a problem with a camera, so it's the likely culprit. Good luck.

Once again did you flash a new rom. I ran nonsensikal and kaosfroyo for over a year and a half. Not once did they act up. So either reflash your xtrasense or something else. So either you have a bug in one of your apps as others have stated or something is wrong with the ROM.
What I did was used an app called abrightness and went into settings and unchecked automatic adjust for brightness.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
The culprit ended up being the FxCamera app. Uninstalled it and no brightness issues. Oh, and "whining" and asking a valid question in the QUESTIONS forum are two completely different things. Thanks to anyone who actually offered constructive comments.

So, first, i know the vibrant doesn't have a compass, it has some other **** that emulates it.... but that's not the issue here. the issue is, that it's not even functional anymore. It USED to work, but ever since last week, it just stopped. My phone doesn't rotate landscape in any apps, it doesn't rotate in the browser, or anything. Yes, the "auto-rotate" is ENABLED in settings.
I even tried to download a "compass" app to see what phone was reading, and it WASN'T reading.... i downloaded the "bubble" app to see what angle it was stuck at, and "bubble" said it was at +1 degress x +1 degrees. So i hit "calibrate" and now it's the same, but stuck at 0,0 instead now.
So how can i get this working again without wiping my phone? I know for the G1, there was this compass "file" or something we could delete, and it would reset the compass settings, and that worked for me, but what about the vibrant?
Miss read problem
I disagree. My compass mostly worked on the stock rom and a bubble app would work. This is sounding like more than the stock firmware issues.
Yea you're right I missed read his post that it stopped working completely.

If you are using the voodoo lagfix, try flashing a non voodoo kernel and see if the problem improves. A number of us have been having problems recently with the sensors stopping working completely and the common thread seems to be the voodoo kernels. Make sure you disable the lagfix first.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
not using voodoo,
using regular original lagfix on a rooted STOCK rom.
i think you are talking about the accelerometers, not the compass.
Mine too.
I also noticed that my Baseband version is T959UVJI5 and the build number now says Eclair where it was "none" (or something like that) before.
Was there an OTA.
I also noticed that the GPS is much, much better.
you're right, its the accelerometer, the vibrant doesn't have a compass. can someone think of a solution?

Yep, I've tried turning it on and restarting the phone. Then turning it back off and restarting. Also did those steps and pulled the battery. Got frustrated and just reset the phone and still no change. It's weird too because if I simply flick to unlock the screen it doesn't play the sound as often. If I take my time and slide the unlock screen and slowly release the touch then it almost always makes the sound.
Guess I can just live with it till I can through another ROM on it. Probably just an isolated issue within my Sense.

*bump
Sorry to bump this up but it's seriously annoying and I'd rather not take the phone in for exchange.
Has anyone else had this issue or anything even remotely like it? Any other suggestions, etc? I appreciate any help offerings in advance.
The only help I can offer is disabling the Lockscreen all together. At least until we get full root and you can just flash a ROM or figure out what the problem is. Screen Mode Widget (free in the market) will do that
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Has anyone figured this out? It's extremely annoying. It happens every time I unlock the phone.
The lock screen sound setting someone else mentioned in this thread is an additional little beep that gets added on if you have the sound option checked. This noise is completely different and plays regardless of whether or not you have the option checked, or whether or not you have a lockscreen pattern.

over six months since your OP and you still haven't fixed this?
have you rooted? tried different ROMs? If your going to bump this topic at least update everyone on what you've tried.
Have you tried to delete the lock sound sound from system/media?
Does anyone know if there are any apps that will let you fully customize the AutoBrightness?
By which I mean, setting up varying sets of:
Light detected between (min, max), Brightness set to ###
I think I saw somewhere that CM7 works this way, but is there any app that will do this for the stock build (rooted and unlocked)?
Its not an autobrightness app but I have seen substancial improvements to my battery life using the SuperDim app, it does have save slots but you have to switch between them manually its not auto. Hope thats somewhat helpful.

Thanks, I have something for manual swapping, but it's... inconvenient.
I was really looking for an app that does custom autobright settings. I can't believe no one has coded one somewhere...

Those were the first things I tried. I didn't find anything, which is why I posted here.
Noticed today that Dolphin Browser, which used to rotate when I rotated my phone, no longer does this. Running ADW LauncherEx and normally have that option turned off for the home screen. But to try it out, I turned the "Home Orientation" option to "Auto/sensor". It will not rotate either.
Not sure what to check or try out, so if anyone has any tips/advice, I'd be greatly appreciative.
Rooted 2.3.4 (from the SBF released recently).

Did u check ur phones display setting? There is one for auto rotate
Also do u have pulldown notification toggles? There is a toggle for screen rotation on that also. Make sure it is lit up.
Did u check through dolphins setting also?
U running a rom? If yes which one?
*smack forehead*
Yes, there is a setting for "Auto-rotate screen". And yes, it was not selected. Strange, don't recall setting that to off though..
But, thanks, it works now.

Hi everyone,
I've had an issue for a while now that i just realized was a problem. After seeing my girlfriends phone getting instant notifications for snapchat, Facebook, foursquare, and others, while i have to go into those apps to see if anything new has happened, i realize my phone is not working correctly.
I have the elegancia rom, on att, and as far as i can tell every setting in my phone is set to allow them.
Does anyone know why this would be happening? Or suggestions on how to fix or troubleshoot it?
This is very frustrating.

It is because your phone is in deep sleep to save battery when your screen is off. There is an app called "Push Notification Fixer" that solves the problem. I have used it for months, and it's great, it doesn't seem to affect battery life significantly
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5hbmRxbGltYXgucHVzaGZpeGVyIl0.
Would it be in deep sleep even if I'm using the phone? I mean, let's say I'm actively using my phone for an hour. And my friend snapchats me or posts on facebook during that time. i still won't get it unless i open the app.
I tried using push notification fixer for like a day and didn't notice a difference. Does it take time to take effect?
Would juice defender cause any issues with this? I use it daily on the lowest setting.
Also, does auto sync need to be enabled?

Alright, as of now, i have auto sync on. I disabled Juice Derfender, i checked and made sure background data is enabled on apps, checked to make sure notifications are enabled on apps, and also made sure restrict mobile data was unchecked. And i have Push Notifications Fixer installed and running.
Still no luck.

On the elegancia rom there is no privacy menu option in the settings. Maybe this is why?

I also have this problem with facebook, no notifications at all Tried several methods, also from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174391
Currently i have Paranoid Rom on my S3
Edit: Okay, now they are working...
What I have observed is that juice defender / dx battery booster etc do not disable all the settings properly when disabled. So it might be (a possibility) - that it has screwed up your settings.
I am also on Elegancia ROM. ofcourse I have autosync on as well as PNF installed. For me it takes hardly a gap of 2 seconds when I get a notification on my mobile & desktop....
May be you can try to uninstall juicedefender (Check if there is any setting to reset the changes or not before uninstalling).
And one advise - I am not sure about you, but I found all these battery saving apps useless
Hmmmm. Ok. Well, i just switched to the Venom rom and i am experiencing the same issue. I went ahead and uninstalled juice defender completely.
Is there a by lasting settings that could be messed up from it even after uninstalling it?
I'm really on my last nerve. My phone feels crippled and u can't figure out why...

I fixed it! I still don't know exactly what the culprit was but i know it was some system setting that had gotten messed up. It kept following me from rom to rom because i used titanium backup to backup and restore system settings.
I ended up doing a fresh install of viper and installed snapchat first thing. I instantly got a push notification. I proceeded to install all the backups of my other apps and manually at all my phone settings again.
Thanks for all the help everyone!
