ive noticed on most of the roms that when the brightness is set to half or below half the screen starts to flicker any way to fix this
Never had a problem like that in all roms I've used, in what kernel are you, or maybe try full wiping and reflashing...

Hi guys, I have a very strange problem that has been occurring over 3 different firmwares on 2 different S2's. If i swipe my finger over the top right hand corner of the screen (like where the time, battery %, etc. is) the brightness of the screen automatically increases to either half the brightness bar or 3/4ths, or sometimes 90% of the bar.
I have tested this on 2 phones in several different apps, home screen, etc, and even in landscape mode (landscape mode shifts it to the top left of the screen which would be the top right of the UI) which leads me to believe it is a firmware problem and not a hardware problem. However considering it was an issue on my brother's phone running stock KG6, my phone running Sicopats rom based on KH3, and his phone after flashing stock KH3 then on cognition 1.5.1, i am confused as to how all of these rom's could have this issue.
Is it because the issue hasn't been addressed? am i doing something wrong? please help me out guys i know this seems like a small issue but now that i've noticed it it's bothering me quite a bit
It's a Samsung feature. Sliding your finger on the status bar while in manual brightness mode adjusts the brightness of your screen.
I thought so too at first but its so unpredictable that I dismissed that as a possibility. do you know if there are any mods which disable this?
Hey guys, I have a weird problem with my SGS2. A few days after I flashed Lite'ning Rom v6.1, my phone's display went haywire. I cannot switch the display on, but the phone is working i.e. backlight notification works, vibration works.
I can boot the phone and hear the bootup sounds and everything, just that the screen is off.
In the rare event that it manages to switch on, the display's off color (colors not as rich, black is slightly off etc)
I've tried reflashing the rom, as well as flashing the stock sgs2 rom/kernel and Sensation Rom, but I still get the same problem.
Can anyone help me out here?
Your screen is probably bust, go exchange it if you have warranty.
Hi Everyone,
So I noticed not to long back that my phone has been changing brightness without the brightness bar moving. For instance I unlocked my phone moments ago and my screen was very bright. I went into my brightness settings and looked at the bar was set at 60%. As soon as I touch the brightness bar the screen dims back down to where it's supposed to be.
Now I am thinking this is purely a software issue but I am still a little worried. I have a Galaxy S3 Optus AU. It is running the LF2 firmware and is not rooted or modified. I have turned off auto brightness and power saving for the screen and this problem still persists.
Has anyone else suffered any such issues with there device?

sry my fault...read to quick
hmm the only thinng i can imagine on the go is...has been your battery been on a very low amount of percentage
because i think the power saving mode is changing the brightnes on its own
No the battery was at 90% when it happened last. I have factory reset the device to see if it fixes the issue.
OK the issue is still happening. Altho I have now noticed that it happens when unlocking the phone. If I re lock the phone and then unlock it. It's back to normal.
Well...even stock firmware is not protected to crash or do sth it shouldnt do by the way
so think about a clean install of the rom or a software update this might fix your problem
Hello,
I know this has been discussed often but I searched for hours and didn't find a final solution for my problem.
First of all, I'm on a custom rom (Phoenix Ultimate V2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/rom-jb-4-1-2phoenix-rise-ashes-t2842899) with a custom kernel (Nemesis 6.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...nel-nemesis-kernel-v6-3-revised-21-2-t2214141) but my problem does occur in every JellyBean rom and custom kernel, even in stock rom/kernel combination)
Is there any way to increase (yes, I want them brighter!) the brightness of the leds in the transparent bar at the bottom of the phone?
Changing values in sys/class/leds/.. to 255 does only help for a few seconds because they just get overwritten by the autobrightness or if the screen gets turned off.
The main reason is that my leds are very dim, almost not visible at night. A friend of mine got the same phone, same rom and kernel combination but he does not have the low brightness problem (I guess there are different hardware versions, I have a red one and he's got the black one)
The leds are bright when the kernel is booting and in recovery mode, but they get dimmed when the system booted up and IlluminationFix.apk (in custom roms) starts.
Any suggestions?
It really annoys me that I can't fix that.
Sometimes when turning on my Display it looks green and with horizontal lines all over it. Screenshot doesn't capture it. It has been like that for a while but just got way more frequent. A reboot fixed it and i noticed now sometimes also just trying again to turn on the display sometimes fixes it as well as charging it while doing so.
Since it got more frequent theres also this high pitch sound when i turn on the display and the green distortion happens. I have no energy saving mode enabled. Anything i can do or do i need a new phone/ display if it stays like this?
It's a known issue I guess try to keep the brightness high, it happened to me some months ago but for some reason it's gone now. If you need to lower your brightness (ex at night) use some sort of app (like twilight) which actually puts a layer on the display (the screenshots are darker)
