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.

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.
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...
My S2 boots up fine (screen very bright and animation color not natural) after finishing boot the soft keys lights up but the screen goes black. When i press the home button the screen just flickers, shows the screen for a split second then goes black.Sometimes after many attempts pressing the power button it wakes but screen at full brightness and color is not natural. When i try to press the screen brightness to adjust it goes black immediately.
What i have tried so far, bought a new LCD screen and replace but problem persists. So its not a LCD problem. It was running stock ICS so i flash stock JB after wiping, no help. Root with Philz kernel but when i go to recovery screen goes black so i try Speedmod kernel with CWM recovery and the screen shows the Recovery menu I try to flash a custom rom (can't remember which one) but it won't boot up stuck at splash screen.I even flash GB and ICS stock still no luck.
The phone works fine calls can still get through, download mode screen and recovery screen ok. I actually have not use this phone for a year but the last time i use use it was working fine.
Google all the different Samsung device if anyone has this problem but no one seem to have the problem that i have so maybe if anyone knows or suggest anything else which i haven't tried.
Thanks for viewing
I have found the root of my problem, the damn brightness control in settings is not working. Brightness is at full, unable to set to auto or manually dim the screen.
Screen will only wake with black background. Have to tear apart the phone and figure whats wrong
Hello, I have an i605 and have been using CM12 since it has been released and really like it as a daily driver. I have tried many different ROM's all using CM12 as a base and all, without question have had this same issue.
At least once a day (time of day varies) I will pick up my phone and turn on the screen (which button I use makes no difference) and it will be black, I see that the backlight is on but the screen is black. The home button does nothing, swiping left or right does nothing, the status bar shows up just fine, I can swipe down and see notifications and access the quick launch but if I try to access anything, it just returns me to a black screen. The only way I can get out of it is to reboot.
I am currently running the June 16 nightly with the kernel that is bundled with it. I did try a difference kernel before (I cannot think of the name right now) but the problem remained.
I have tried googling this issue to no avail and I haven't seen anything here on the forums.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Can you access to the recovery mod ?
