Kickstand mode seems to be gone ever since i rooted it used to give me options in the status bar right?> but now all it does is switch orientations automatically. What happened to it?
I had the same issue. I disabled kickstand mode then re-enabled it and I got normal operation back. Hope this helps.

Hi everyone.
I have a problem with my Galaxy S2,it doesn't sense when I turn it on it's side, like when I view a picture and turn it from a vertical to horizontal position the picture doesn't rotate to fit the whole screen.The same happens with the camera,it is stuck in a horizontal position .It hasn't suffered any physical damage, and I just bought it about a week ago.I entered the LCD test menu (*#0*#) and checked the sensors,there was nothing wrong,it received data from all of them so I am guessing it has nothing to do with the hardware.With the other functions like panning,tillting,etc. I have no problem only with this one.Will doing a factory reset fix this problem?What about installing a different ROM?
Did you enabled auto rotation?

Do you mean settings>motion>motion activation?
If so then yes, it is activtated.
Silly me,I just realised what you meant by auto-rotation.I must have accidentaly clicked it.To anyone interested, there is an option for auto-rotation in the status bar next to the sound option.Thanks for the quick reply, mods please close this thread.
Fellow Rezounders;
I am rooted, and running Stock GB.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious (or did something stupid). I've installed a few of the 'Flashlight' or 'Torch' application onto my Rezound (Nexus Torch, TeslaLED, etc). I do like using my phone as a flashlight in many situations.
However I've noticed that when the screen itself turns off (either by timing out, or manually), the flashlight turns off too. This is very bothersome as I then need to keep turning it back on and/or I accidentally keep hitting icons on my home page(s).
Now with my old D1 this didn't happen. I don't know if maybe I've installed something, or changed a setting that's causing this to happen, or if its a Rezound issue or not.
I could have sworn this didn't happen when I first got my phone (about two months ago), but since then I've wiped it twice (I had that silly reboot loop/4G issue until I learned to remove the back or change the connect to 4G on boot setting).
I would appreciate your thoughts/suggestions
Thanks in Advance;
A (in the dark) Bug
tiny flashlight +LED
by Nikolay Ananiev works great for me
I use the stock flashlight app on Nils' Business ICS and it doesn't do that to me. Just tested Tesla and that works fine too.
Maybe you should try a wipe/reflash.

[APP] Stock HTC Flashlight App - fixed
I use that, but it behaves the same.

When I got my Rezound, the HTC Flashlight didn't exist for it.... so I looked and ended up using
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devuni.flashlight
When used as a widget, I use the round icon and if I click it the light goes on and I can turn the screen off and it will stay on.
I use it a lot, especially at night. Putting the phone into the dock at night can be hard in the dark, so it turn the light on, turn off the screen so I can hold it by the screen as I put it in the dock. turn the screen back on, and turn the light off. Note that i am using the widget, not the app itself which is a squarish looking icon with a round icon on it. if you use the app, it will turn off when you turn off the screen
It has other modes, but I don't use them. I kind of like it better than the HTC flashlight now as it is just on and off without it pulling the app up.
I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock to turn the screen off when I set the phone down. 1) to conserve power and 2) prevents me activating something as I pickup and set down the phone.
I am GB stock rooted S-Off, so I would think it would work for you.
This maybe what your looking for. It the HTC flashlight that works on the rezound.

I figured it Out (Kinda)
Thanks everyone for their help and advice on this minor (yet annoying) issue.
I'm not sure how exactly I fixed it but I did. I think I may have had a 'battery saving' program installed that was inhibiting the flashlight function when the screen was off.
I removed a few programs and checked my settings in the the one(s) I had left. I also tried tiny flashlight +LED (per RoryHe suggestion), and found it works perfectly.
I did find like most of you mentioned that it does turn off for a second when you turn the screen off, but then comes back on (much better than before). I can live with this, and I love the 'shake to turn on in Lock mode' that tiny flashlight has. . . except when I'm playing with my 2 1/2 yearold twin boys and the light randomly turns on. But it doesn't happen often.
Anyway, I'm all good, and thanks again for helping me resolve this issue.
What would I do with out my Rezouding Friends.
A (lit) Bug
I stupidly allowed the update while rooted causing some interesting damage. It seems the device works properly except that the screen blacks out instantly. I can access power up/down and recovery screen with no issue, but the home screen will not stay active. Any suggestions? I tried T Mobile and Alcatel but only gained a headache.
I had the same thing happen even though I first unrooted my phone. Not sure what the exact cause is and even a factory reset did not solve the issue. What I have is a workaround (probably not very efficient)-
1. Despite the screen being black, it is still responsive. Use the power button to get your bearings on the screen and work in the dark to get to the Setting page.
2. Since you are rooted already, you should have access to the developer options. Go to Developer Options.
- if not, click on Build Number in About Phone 7 times and then retun to settings and you will see Developer options
3. Check off Disable HW overlays
- As per my reading, this causes the phone to lag more, but you get your screen back
- I also activated Show touches (which I found first) that allows you to temporarily see the screen as the touch appears (which made it so I can continue trying different options without using the power button to get my bearings)
If anybody can explain to me why this works and if there is a better way to fix the problem, I would greatly appreciate it. I tried also cleaning the proximity sensor and using apps that force the screen to stay on, but neither of these options worked.
hang in there
my guess is the only fix left is a custom rom the only issue is there are none for this phone if anybody knows of any custom roms for the alcatel onetouch fierce it would be greatly appreciated!
Secure settings app and E-robot app. Just set it to turn off overlays when the device is shaken.. Need to be rooted for it to work.. "Tasker" app works too I think .
Sent from my ALCATEL ONE TOUCH Fierce using xda app-developers app
Ive had a rooted Alcatel One Touch Fierce for about a month. Just recently a Tmobile update downloaded and i installed it. My phone rebooted and ever since then my screen turns off or goes black everytime i turn the screen on. For example when i press the lock button to wake my phone it will display for at least a second then go black but the touch is still functional so id have to navigate by guessing where everything is then pop the screen on for a second to see where i am. The only exception is when i bring up my keyboard or edit settings like when a slider pops up for brightness. I can see the android startup screen until its fully rebooted and i can see the recovery mode. Ive reformatted my data and cache. It is also not the timeout setting. I cant find anything about this issue anywhere. Pretty soon i will be taking it to walmart to replace it but until then i want to try and fix it. Anyone know whats wrong?
Go to developers option and disable hw overlays

I have the same issue and disabled HW overlays but my screen keeps turning off.

Hi All
I am running CyanogenMod version - 12.1-20160529-NIGHTLY-klimwifi
Kernel version 3.4.105g766de8b
I have as you can tell by my heading an issue, my tablet after using the plex app decided to power off and would not restart until I tried turning it on in recovery mode. When it did turn on the lock screen did not display the usual text (swipe to unlock) and the notification drawer would not display or pull down.
I tried cycling it on and off a few times and alternating between turning it on in recovery or download mode but no response, eventually allowed me to access the notification drawer and by creating a new profile I could access everything again. I deleted this profile just to make sure and tried it again and discovered the if I hit the volume buttons a few times everything works fine the tablet though has become slower in its response.
Has anyone else come across this issue.
