I have the i717 from rogers and currently running the cm9 official rom but it doesnt seem to matter what rom im on I see this werid fluttering brightness thing occurring on any rom. Try my best to describe it, it is like its almost fluttering up or down in brightness levels when about to dim or undim I am wondering if this is maybe a hardware issue with my device that I should get serviced or if it is normal?

I was going to ask what rom .but then had a thought regarding the light sensor on the device .
And I remember reading about sensor calibration and possible causes of fluctuations .
I suppose a search would find that for you ...but check this also ...
Display settings in cm allow light to decrease ...it's a hysterisis setting ...(I butchered that word )
And the settings control flicker in the display . You might try turning those off .
Next is the power saver settings which allow a light decrease also ..after a few seconds of no screen touch ,the light level drops too save power .
And third ...turn off your automatic light level setting in display settings .
I'm thinking three items are conflicting a bit and some mild tuning will fix it ...g

Hello,, how can i fix my htc with a dark screen?? i have tried too flash it. but that dosent work! what can help mee??
It works but it is almost impossible to see the screen??
If u flashed a new rom and the problem persists, it's probably some hardware issue and it needs repair, but, if u haven't done yet, try going to power management and set the backlight brightness adjustment to a fixed value instead of auto.

i hav e tried too flash it and set the baklights brightness adjusments on manual but it stil dont works : o do u have any other tips??
Even I am facing the same issue. Did anybody get a fix to this solution.
After hard resetting the device, the screen has gone dark. I can see the phone working and also the menus, but since there is no backlight, its barely visible even inside the house. tried setting the backlight from Power adjustment menu, still no use.
Any help on this would be great.
Thanks
I had the same problem.I was taking a great care of my rose,I was overprotected with it,it was in perfect condition untill one day I wanted to sell it here and the next days the screen became dark for no reason.It really dissapointed me.I tried many things but nothing helped...it was 99% a hardware problem..I don't know what is wrong with these phones...anyway in the end I sold it on eBay..my suggestion is to try and replace the screen or just sell it...
can someone please tell me how to disable auto brightness on
x10i eternity rom build 003
i tried using every brightness app/widget possible to turn it off but as soon as i turn it off and put the phone under different light setting i can see that the auto brightness is still on
i tried using adjbrightness but it keeps telling me that my phone isnt rooted; anyone get this app to work on x10??
please help n sorry if this questions been asked and answered before. this forum is getting too big and broad sometimes to find anything
thx in advance
Have you tried Sparepart? (That's the name)
Strange, i can't seem to turn on my autobrightness. It used to work perfectly in android 1.6. And i haven't noticed it untill recently. When auto brightness is checked, it just stays the same, even when i hold it directly under a lamp. Maby there is a bug in the software that prevents switching it on or off?
I'd also like an answer to this problem, because with auto brightness on the telephone is a battery eater.. you have to keep it to the minimum level to disable it, but when you are under a strong light, like outdoor with a sunny weather, it's difficult to see your screen's details. as you select a brightness level different from zero, the autobrightness turns on and eats the battery.
I hope I'm missing the solution to this, and somebody will help, because all the applications i've tried (spareparts included) didn't worked.
I'm quite confuse now.....
What actually do we need......
Turn it on...
or
Turn it off...
LOL
heh, so some people want a way to turn it off and others, like me, want to find a way to turn it on?
what a crazy phone..
I'm sure there used to be a tick box in the display settings to turn on/off the auto brightness. Anyway, i've tried various applications myself to get it on but nothing does it. I think the best solution is for us all to swap phones .
Spare Parts doesn't work for me, i tried enabling it, restarting the phone and jumping under my duvet.. but it didn't change
Did you update to 2.1? It was disabled in 2.1 as far as I know.
So the easiest solution, upgrade to 2.1! Else, I don't remember the menu but it's somewhere in the settings under 1.6.
I think we've all updated to 2.1 here =)
and yes, in 1.6 there was a box to tick to unable/disable autobrightness.
But, in 2.1, this feature has disappeared, leaving a seekbar and a damned widget which doesn't allow you to set or no autobrightness.
Hi,
The autobrightness is still there. It can be turned on/of from a stock SE connection widget. The different state for brightness is "minimum" -> "auto" -> "maximum"

Thats pretty much, exactly, what dpk0875 said, if i'm not mistaken.

I can get, either 0%, or 100% brightness, with the ambient sensor disabled. Anything in-between, fades constantly.
No fix for this, i presume?
Reading websites while the screen fades in/out every couple of seconds drives me mad.
Ive never had any problem with it as long as you dont lean in front of it all the time lol.

Hi,
Since a couple of days I've noticed that my screen flickers sometimes.
Mostly when I'm moving my hand while holding the phone...
Is it possible that the light sensor auto adjusts my screen brightness ?
If so, how can I turn it off ?
Thanks in advance,
Niels
If you have rooted the phone, you can install Disable Auto Brightness for Xperia phones. or you can disable it manually editing the file /ect/hw_config.sh.
Search the forum for the tutorial
Thanks for your answer !
So unless you start rooting or changing files there's no way to stop the flickering ?
Unfortunately, no. By the way, this problem usually affects st15 models... as far as i know, you've been unlucky
Okay, I'm sure now that it's really because of the lightsensor and not just a problem with my screen.
I was standing near a window and when I put my finger on the lightsensor a few times the brightness was clearly automaticly adjusted...
I'll look for the tutorial, thanks for the info !
Other solutions, if any, are still welcome though

Hey, my ST15i does also automatically adjust the brightness....it's not a problem mate When i am outdoors the screen get brighter but when i am indoors my screen automatically gets darken
Yes I now, but I find it annoying, it gets flickery sometimes..
I want the screen to stay on the brightness I've set.
today I was wondering why this phone doesnt have auto brightness adjustment feature, because I have to manually turn brightness to zero when using phone while on bed at night. I looked into settings and no such feature found, I wonder the light sensor actually works
Yes it does, I've tested it.
Try standing near a window or holding it near a lamp and put your finger on the sensor... (The screenbrightness may not be set to 0 if you try this..)
I too find it strange that there's no possibility to set the auto adjust on/off..
Niels
I don't think there is any auto-brightness option in LWW as I've not found any. if there were any then they would have provided an check box option turn it on/off. but the brightness ups and downs happens to me to specially when i've put the brightneww to lowest level at night. could not explain myself.
yup it works (just checked thru window operation )

The fact that you can't turn it on/off doesn't mean it doesn't work. Actually, the auto-brightness is always on. You can disable it manually editing /etc/hw_config.sh or using the app Disable Auto Brightness Xperia. You need root anyway.
Hey,
Updated from 4.2 to 4.3 hoping it was a glitch with 4.2 but my screen brightness flickers up and down what appears to be about 5 levels consistently (very fast, resembles a flickering) whenever the display is on. The brightness control also doesn't work, it has no effect on the brightness levels, you can slide it from one side to the other with no actual change.
This has an ill affect of draining the battery about 1% a minute when the display is on.
Anyone have a similar problem or know how to fix this?
I have the auto brightness unchecked and when enabled there is no change either.

When you flashed to 4.3 did you do a wipe? Have you tried a reset at any time? If you just updated without wipe it would have retained any previous settings or conflicts that may cause this.

I'll do a quick backup and then try a wipe to see if that clears it up. Thanks for the suggestion.
maybe you has to sent to service central but before just update again ,hope will fine
Did all the wipes and no go, called up Bell and have her going in for a RMA check. Can't wait to see what they say.

Are you sure you flashed the device correctly and followed the procedures in LordManhattan's guide or [NUT]/blueether's posts?
The proximity sensor produces infrared light even when the screen is turned off. I have also tried turning off options like Pocket Mode, Adaptive Brightness and more. Notably, the light is not visible to the naked eyes. You need to use a camera in order to see the light glowing. Also, this is draining my battery quite faster. Please fix the issue ASAP as I am worried right now.
Same issue here
I also tested it using another mobile's camera. I was also able to reproduce the same problem. I think it is also leading to quick battery drain.
On what rom?
Miui stable with custom kernel has that problem. Pixel experience with same custom kernel does not.

How do you know that it is draining your battery?
Did you use BetterBatteryStats or what is the base for comparison?
I have 128Gb version (global) without this issue. Infra is on when display is on and is off when display is off. Bought in Czech Republic.
Correct me if i am wrong, but proximity sensor should be in on state when you are in a call, in order to turn the display off when the phone is close to ear, or when an app is requesting its measurements to proceed to a specified action. Have it in operating state when the screen is off, or when it is not called to do something is bad behaviour and it consumes energy no matter how much it is.
I'm on MIUI Pie Stable 10.1.3.0 with Stock Kernel.
Apart from call purpose, it is used in Pocket mode, Adaptive brightness(for its proper working), etc.
Edit:
I found a solution to this, Go to Settings>Battery>Scenes and turn off Non-interactive mode.
I turned off that option, I will further update if it increases or decreases my SOT.

Still on for me, I'm on latest public beta
Why not to calibrate the poximity sensor by setting, about phone and taping the kernel version, it will turned on engineering mode, choose poximity sensor and test it. Good luck.

Same problem on my poco in latest stable 10.1.3.0. So far I have not found a solution. The suggestions made above don't work.
Lets hope the next build will revert it.
Solved: auto brightness off
Switch off auto brightness and the IR will stop
