Hi Annoying problem with my galaxy s 2, the brightness randomly lowers by itself. Say one time ill lock the screen with the lock button, unlock it 10 minutes later and the brightness has dropped and I'll have to put it back up again manually.
I've tried resets and firmware upgrades but that doesn't work.
I DO NOT HAVE automatic brightness on.
Any ideas?
you might accidentally use statusbar to lower brightness, I did that when i was using stock roms. keep you hand away from holding the statusbar
Oooo that might be it, I'll try avoid now I know it can happen and see if it happens again now.
Cheers
I have found a tricky bug and I can't find any solution for it. I have installed the last version of UltraToxic ROM 8.0 XWKK5 and now sometimes my phone doesn't turn on screen after automatic screen turn off. The phone is continuing to work, for example it accept incoming calls, but it doesn't react on any try to activate the screen - no reactions on "power button" and any taps on the screen or others hardware buttons. The screen will turn on only after reboot by long press on power button.
Before phone was just "rooted".
Do you have set cpu installed with a very low figure for your screen off power? I had this problem in an old rom I was running

No, I have not setCPU installed. But I just installed CPU tuner and adjust the "screen off power" to min 500MHz, max 800MHz.
I hope this will solve my problem.
Thank you.
Hello, does any one else experience this when in the app and click Home button it freezes for 5-10 seconds, black screen, and then it shows home screen but widgets always restarts. I'm running Omega 9.1, Kernel Stock, Modem LF3. Same thing happening with Omega 9, WanamLite 1.8. I had Nexus S never had this problem, so don't want to think that it's ram problem.
Did you by chance change how many background processes are allowed to run? This is done within the XE eloperz settings

I installed the 12/10 SGT7+CM10+Cherry Picks ROM, and am having issues with the home button, either the soft button or the n button, taking me to screen 1, instead of the default screen 3. Very rarely it will totally surprise me and go to screen 3 for no apparent reason, but usually I hit home, and then have to swipe over two screens to get to my icons and widgets. It's more of a minor annoyance than a serious problem, but if anyone has any idea how to fix it I would appreciate it. It's a totally clean install, I wiped everything before installing the new ROM, and I have attempted changing the default screen setting to 2 or 4 with no results.
Two ways to solve this.

I'm not trying trying be a smart arse but this is what I did even thought I'm running GO Launcher EX HD and not Tribucket
1st solution move everything that you would like as the default screen to screen three.
2nd solution delete all other screens beside your default then re-add your screen.

Oh, I understand that this is a solution assuming there's no way to make it behave correctly, but as I said it's a minor annoyance at best. Just thought it was worth a post to see if anyone knew what was causing it before I implemented any duct tape repairs.
Cool

Duct tape is the best.

I've seen the same thing on my NT with the 8/10 ROM. Usually, it's just a longer-than-expected pause between the launcher opening and it scrolling to the default screen -- maybe a second or so. If I'm impatient and swipe as soon as the launcher comes up, I end up overshooting the default start screen, but if I wait, the launcher opens the first (left-most) screen, then swipes over to the default. I work around this by changing the default screen to #1, and swapping my center and left-most screens.

Or you can try to set the default screen in launcher setting to your 3rd one.
It is set to screen 3, that's the whole point. It tends to go to screen 1 no matter what the default screen is set to.
I have the same problem. I actually like Trebuchet, so I'd prefer it over a 3rd party's. I didn't have this problem with Chris's 0.6.
Is there a way to install an unmodified version of Trebuchet over SGT7? Because I like the fixes that SGT7 makes.

I recently updated my i9300 to paranoid android to 3.97 and I'm having two issues... First one is that apps that have border ads down the bottom.. Facebook.. Cheeseburger.. Astromanager etc if you take your finger Off the screen the screen turns black with only the ad showing..... The other issue is that the screen brightness can't decide if it's full of low. You press the power button the lock screen comes on Instantly dims.. Doesn't matter if light Meter is covered or light shining on it.. Disabled all power options.. Auto brightness is off... Tried lux app set all to 100% still dims.. When you run it after the screen dims it shows still being 100% touch the maximum and it comes back again.... Anyone have ideas. Googled ads but came up with nothing for black screen issue... Tried other solutions for the brightness issue still no luck.

Go to PA Q&A thread next time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887819
Due to lack of graphic driver on 4.3, the black screen thing could appear. There are two+ solutions:
1. follow this step by dontwannabehere

The fix is the following:
On your build prop file
There should be a line that says something like this " hwui.render dirty regions = false "
Just add the word debug at the beginning of the line "debug.hwui. render..... "

for your first problem: the glitches should have been solved with newest cm sources. But look in your build.prop if you have the entry "hwui.render_dirty_regions=false" if yes then change it to "debug.hwui.render_dirty_regions=false" without the " " )
for the second problem I cannot help you, as I am not using paranoid. Look if there is an update or ask in the paranoid Q&A thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887819 (you could also have asked there your questions )
EDIT: sorry. I am ALWAYS to slow in writing aaargh
Appreciate the quick response... I tried the build.prop editing and this is where it got interesting... I cant edit it ... I've tweaked in the past with ES file explorer or root explorer but on this occasion the apps wont allow it ...does not allow the changes to be saved.... checked the root and thats fine, busybox is installed and working fine... my workaround was to tweak build.prop of the 3.97 rom of PA and apply it it from recovery.... this seems to have fixed the black screen in apps... so thanks for that.
I also just grabbed the 3.99 nightly of PA and build.prop already has the change applied, applying now.... result seems the brightness quirk is still there ... I tried the android sensor app and the lux settings seem to be correct so the light sensor is performing as expected the brightness is just not doing what its told... even if I set it to automatice brightness change the sensitivity and apply 100% to all different lux settings it just ignores it and dims the screen regardless... !!
