[Q] Dialier lighting up when on speaker

So guys, ive noticed my dialer lights up at random when I'm on speakerphone even when I have the screen turned off.

would be strange though since I have it set to only notify once.

Brightness sensor on auto = pitch black screen in the cold

Hello,
I'm having an annoying problem whenever I'm talking on my S3 outside, on a cold day like today. The screen turns pitch black and only the bottom menu and back touches are lit. It's not the first time. When I enter inside, the screen brightness slowly returns normal but even so, if i turn off the auto sensor, the screen brightness is ok, even outside. Somebody else having this problem ? Thanks.

[Q] G Watch - "always on" screen flicker in the dark?

I just got my LG G Watch yesterday, and I noticed last night when you leave it with the "always on" option where it dims the screen way down, that in the dark I can see the screen flickering. I tried all the different brightness levels in Settings to see if that would change it, but does not. Can anyone else confirm this? You'll have to get in pitch black environment to see this.
Also, is there a way to turn off the "shake n wake", where it turns the screen on from motion? I tend to sleep with a watch on, and noticed this watch is very sensitive to (or that I flop around like a fish when I sleep.. that's possible too) motion, and I'd rather be able to set it in "touch to wake" mode.

I haven't noticed any flickering on mine, but I may just not be as sensitive to it. You can disable the 'wake by motion' function by muting the watch. (Pull down from the top of the screen)

Thanks for the tip on muting to stop the motion sensor from activating the watch. I find it very sensitive and just sitting at my desk working tends to make it constantly wake up. Muting also turns off vibration so I miss when a notification comes to the watch. Maybe in an OS update or possibly a Developer will enhance the settings so you can still get vibration alerts, but turn off motion wake.

Wileyfox Swift 2X - back/home/show all screens - buttons lights

Hi there,
Does anybody know of a way to lower or illuminate the light of the static - back/home/show all screens - buttons? When reading my phone in a dark room, the lights are quite heavy on the eyes.
Kind regards,
Martin
Mine seem to change with the screen brightness. Do you have your ambient display turned on.

Thnx for the reply! It does indeed change simultaneously with the screen brightness, but it will always stay on. I was wondering if maybe the button lights could be turned off completely and only appear when the screen is touched for example. But I'm guessing it's not possible.

Red light near earpiece (probably Proximity Switch ON)

Hello from Indonesia. I'm user of Xperia X single SIM which use the newest version of Poison ROM based Nougat 7.1.1. I have a little problem like this thread https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...sor-when-3g-4g-data-transmission/td-p/1146470 but the difference is the red light in my phone always ON both when data transmission/WiFI ON and OFF. The red light OFF when I locked this phone, and when I unlock this phone using fingerprint or press power button, suddenly the red light ON. I have the adaptive brightness screen turned off before. Anyone can fix this problem? Thank you so much for your help. Sorry for my bad English.
Turn off the auto brightness option
Turning off adaptive brightness is not working and it looks more like a feature than bug. (Proximity sensor gets active on lock screen or after data/wifi use to detect if flip cover is covering the screen or not?)
