I have smart stay and auto brightness turned off, yet my screen still seems to dim and brighten on its own sometimes.
Also, when the lights on the two soft/touch keys goes out, shoulsnt pushing the middle button make them light back up? Cause I was pretty sure it did at one point but it doesnt do it anymore, but I could just be tripping and remembering it wrong so I wanted to check

And as of today, the softkeys started not lighting back up when dimmed, after I press one or touch the screen. I have to turn my screen off and back on to get them to light back up. Doesnt do it all the time but its annoying. I just got this phone exactly a week ago and so I wanna figure this out so I can exchange it for a new one if I need to, before the 14day return policy is up

Sounds like the proximity sensor is acting up. If you are within the 14 day period you can exchange for a brand new phone.
My phone also has some weird dimming issues. The most prominent issue I've seen concerns the stock Gallery app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2421173), but I do see strange dimming occuring at random.
My phone does some other wierd **** too so im just gonna exchange it for a new one today. Its only a week old so it shouldnt be having problems already. I paid a decent price for this phone, so I dont wanna get stuck with a faulty one

I think I figured out the screen dimming issue. I didnt know there was am auto control for the display tone. I turned that off and so far the screen hasnt dimmed at all

Oh and turn off Auto Adapt mode in the display>screen mode, options.

does this happen to you?
i was playing on my tablet then the screen turn soooo dark
like as if the bright setting is turn all the way down.
i can hardly see to operate, i press the power button then again to login.
but when i check the setting it appear untouch
even after turning off auto brightness.
Mine kinda does this... mine just goes super dark, but i usually just touch the screen or the power button and it brightens back up, just like a laptop getting ready to go into sleep or hibernate mode.
It happens again after I set timeout tok 30 m3inutes
It could be bad lcd, I could not see a thing.
That would suck if it is a bad LCD, but at least it would be under warranty!
This happened to me, I think it is because I had brightness at maximum... I turned the brightness slightly down and it has happened again. But maybe that's just me?

It has a light sensor and auto-adjust capability. I've notice as I move around with mine or change how room light hits it will darken or brighten. Doesn't bother me enough to go looking for some settings to disable it, but there should be some there.
I have the same problem too... everytime I turn off the screen using the power button then turn on again the screen turn very dark when the setting is set to auto brightness... it is very annoying while doing something on the S and went away from a while then come back to use it the brightness is totally so dim...
I'm sorry to say but you guys have a defective unit. Just switch it in right away.
turn off auto brightness.
I contact newegg yesterday but no reply yet.
edit: i call them via phone got my shipping label.
Turning off auto brightness doesnt help, but tuning down the brightness from max down slightly I havent had the issue.
If it happens again ill have to send this back, I feel bad loosing the official siony screen cover.
Byt loosing $30 is better than five ninty-nine us dollars.

The issue describedhappened to my first one which is why I know it. Just re turn it. Its not normal behavior.
It is the Android problem, not Sony. Unless you change OS....

my xperia x10 2.3.3 fw and before that doesn't bug me this much.
if all 3.2 fw tablet does it then i would blames on 3x
go ahead turn on your auto brightness and browse the net in a well lid room.
I have one that is doing the same thing. Also every now and then the screen shuts off and I cant get it to come back on for awhile unless I hold power for like 30 sec. Is this a defective tablet or honeycomb 3.2? Thanks!
I'm telling you guys, I sell the things andI KNOW the issue they are taking about. We played with the settings all day and it kept happening but the issue NEVER happened to any of the other units. It's most likely a defective unit because as I said, it only happened to the one unit.

i think they are not available in Europe yet - so you should be able to sell the cover easily if you ship internationally

Try your local Sony Centre, High Wycombe have them in stock. £24.99 i think
Greetings XDA'ers, i have a Galaxy S II (international) and it's running stock ICS (XXWLPG) and the "problem" is that right before the lock screen comes up there is some screen flickering, black and white lines flickers vertically across the screen in about half a second before the lockscreen comes up. Its very hard to see this. But its easy to see it in dark rooms, like cinemas and such.
I have already returned the phone to where i bought it, the first time they changed the front LCD panel. and 2. time they didn't fix anything. And here in Norway the third time can get my money back for the phone if the same problem exists for 3 times. And if i do that then i can get the money back. And buy a S III ))
But anyway is this normal, they said they discovered the problem when i send it in the first time. and its still happening. so is this happening to you guys??
-Thanks for your helpfulness
Anyone???
I've not seen it, and you may need to wait longer than 2 hours to get a response from someone who has. This is a forum, not your personal instant messaging support client.
no it's not normal, pretty obvious
I have had my Verizon Note 2 for about a month now, and about 2 days ago i read that the processor has Vulnerabilities and mailware problems samusing is trying to fix but about a week ago i went to use my quick glance and my direct call and it wasnt working and when someone calls me i put it up to my ear the screen goes black as it should but then its stuck at the black screen i hit all the buttons cant get to the phone call if i wanted to put it on speaker or even just check a txt message i cant do anything until that person hangs up. The only way i am able to check my txt messages and stuff while on the phone is if i dont put it up to my ear.. so i restarted phone as we all would assume this would fix it well it didnt, so then i did a Factory reset thinking that would just put it back to complete stock and fix it well turns out that didnt work. My phone has never been rooted or anything and never will be. Im running Android 4.1.1 If anyone has any idea how i can fix this it would be gladly appreciated i love the motion features. Also i did the Gyroscope calibration and it didn't make any difference, my proximity sensor is on and glowing red just doesnt work like i said.
Thanks, Stephen

That exploit that you are referring to has nothing to do with your issue... And the proximity sensor does not light up as that is the LED notification light. I have this issue from time to time too and it's just that the sensor is not doing it's job properly but if you just simply hit the home button or power button real quick the screen will turn on. Other than that you may want to check some of your settings... Turn off your "motion" settings and see if that takes care of your issue then find out which one is causing the problem...
The quick glance used to work without any problems at all and i liked that, then all of a sudden one day it just decides not to work and it hasn't worked in a week now, i turned my motion off and when im in a phone call it still locked up at the phone screen i cant do anything until they hang up ive gone through the settings multiple times and nothing, i think imma go to verizon today and ***** about it

Ya something does not sound right... Do you have a screen protector on your Note 2 that is covering the sensors?

actually the proximity sensor DOES light up, it's a very faint red light and it's the left one of the two little holes to the _right_ of the phone speaker, the notification LED is on the left of the phone speaker. This light turns on when in a phone call to indicate that the sensor has been activated.
Has anyone else had issues with their back light faulting? I've searched and have seen that other sprint evo lte users have had issues with screen flickering, but my problem seems to be more serious that that. when i wake up in the morning the screen is blank. thank god i have a custrom rom installed and can manually mess with the status bar slider to get the backlight to turn back on. It just needs to be tweaked here and there. the backlight seems to only like to work on full brightness, if not, it will flicker like crazy. if i press with more pressure on certain parts of the screen the backlight turns off completely until i remove my finger. I dont think its a proximity issue since it'll just flicker sitting on a desk. Do I need to replace the screen? is this worth it? i havent dropped to phone or anything for this to default. I can upload a video later. gonna use my OG evo for that which is still kicken by the way
I realize this thread is incredibly old, but did you ever find a solution to the flickering problem? I just started seeing the exact same behavior, including the screen going dark when putting pressure on certain areas of the screen.
Thanks!
I have a PJ75100 doing this, but the screen does not function at all. I get the orange/green light while charging, and if I power it on it acts as if it's doing it's regular startup, but nothing shows on screen.
I did update the stock firmware with the latest release ruu, but still no screen.
I'd really like to get this one going as it's not the normal Jewel, it's the white and silver one, and my girlfriend wants it to replace her iPhone 5c.

Hello everyone, this happened just today. I was using my galaxy alpha AT&T and all of a sudden the screen starting glitching and jumping. I was quite shocked because I bought this phone a few days ago. Although the phone is not brand new but the vendor told me that it's completely fine. Anyhow, I pressed the power button and waited for a few seconds then turned the screen back on. This time the screen was fine but after a few seconds of usage the problem started again. Now i read on the internet that this is not a screen issue but rather its associated with phone's charging port but I'm not sure. And another interesting thing is that the screen shots are completely fine and there are no signs of glitching or flickering. Secondly also note that I was experiencing the famous "cannot charge because battery is too cold!" message and I believe that this problem is also associated with the charging port. So please if anyone is familiar with this problem then guide me. Here a video link that shows what's happening to my screen

If you have the screen on the lowest bright setting the flickering will continue. Once I put it back on auto or at a slightly higher level the flickering went away. That's at least what fixed mine.

I've never had encounter this kind of problem. Your problem is too severe. I think it is related to the hardware.
