I don't know if this issue is realted to the ARHD Rom i've installed but since a couple of versions (I'd say since 5.2, but im not sure and yes i did a fullwipe and the right radio) Auto Brightness and the backlight for the home, menu, back and search key stopped working.
I did some research and figured out my sensor is working (tried with GPS Status).
I didn't try to go to an older rom yet, because i want to use the up to date one.
Any sugesstions for a fix?
Greetings

Am I the only one experiencing this Problem? No fix?

Hey all,
About a year ago I got a new DHD everything was working fine. I rooted it (using visionary), tried cyanogen mod, went back to the original sense/frayo backup and finally installed a new kernel (Buzz)...
After that my proximity sensor stopped working, I kind of just put up with it because I was busy at uni, I just got used to manually turning my screen off. I thought it was something to do with the kernel and/or backup I was running. Since then I have installed Android Revolution 6.3.1 with new kernel and radio and thought it might just start working again but it hasn't...
My question then is:
Could I have done something to affect it while flashing/rooting e.t.c?
Is there any way I can check?
Is it likely to be a hardware failure? (the phone was less than a month old when it stopped working)
oh and I have tried Proximity Re-calibrator and it dose nothing (Unless it doesn't work with ARHD 6.3.1).
Thank you for your time.
This is a common problem. It's in the faq of the ARHD rom and the answer is:

I have tried and tried Proximity Sensor Recalibrator.... no change.
What did you do in the app? Did you also read some of the posts below the first posts on how to use it? I mean, a lot of people have already posted there that they have all sorts of problems with the sensor. If there is really nothing that helps you I would try flashing at least one more time with wiping everything (btw, did you do a full wipe before coming to arhd?)
Yes used the super wipe as suggested.
I've been holding my finger over the sensor and increasing the thresholds, attempting to get a change, all combinations of the sliders and it just says 'far' continually.
Thanks for replying, sorry if its just that I'm just using the program incorrectly...
Full wipe and re-flash tried everything in Proximity Sensor Recalibrator nothing changes...
Hello,
when I flash a custom ROM GPS doesn't work. I have tried MildWild CM 3.7/3.8 and dGB. There were 2 similar Threads but 1 of them was ROM specific and the other was a hardware problem.
I know my GPS works because it works on stock sense.
Somewhere on the forum I found this:
1) Perform a nandroid backup of your previous rom.
2) Flash a stock rom ( it doesn't matter what one; as long as it is working )
3) Then your going to need to go to Google Maps and activate GPS - let it find you ( wait 15-60 seconds outside ).
4) Once it has a fix on you, restore your previous CM7 ROM using nandroid and GPS should work.
I tried but it doesn't work for me.
I also tried installing latest radio and AGPS fix, none seems to work.
Can anyone explain me in detail how to solve this? I have been trying for over 10 hours Y;Y
How can my GPS work on stock ROM but not on custom?
PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD THE ISSUE SOLVED ITSELF!
I would like to share how I solved this but I really dont know it suddenly just worked!
agps fix
have a look at this, it worked for me on Mildwild 3.5 (oxygen based version):

Hello all,
Since a few months I have the problem that my 2G/3G seems to loose connection every now and again.
I used to use MildWild Oxygen 4.0 which was one of the most stable ROMS I ever tried
After that I tried
- several AOKP 4.0.4 ROMS
- the latest couple of versions of Sandvolk's ICS ROM
On all of these I had several problems with 2g/3g turning off every now and again, recently also the alarm clock stopped (or changing time, which i found very bizarre).
Now I re-flashed my NAND backup of MildWild 4.0, and I have the same problem.
Any idea what that might be?
I am using the latest radio version and the data++ HBoot, if that helps.
Ok - that seem to be 2 different problems.
The problems on Mild Wild and the alarm clock seems to be linked to enabling app2SD without wiping the ext partition up front. wiping and/or disabling app2sd solved the problem.
However, the 2G/3G loss on the ICS ROMS seems to persist.
I installed the latest sandvolks recently from scratch (0.13.1) and I had exactly the same problem.
2G/3G seems functional, but no internet connection possible.
Switching flight mode on/off several times helps every now and again, but also not consistently.
I am on the latest radio version, so I don't think it's that either.
Maybe a known bug to the ROM?
Any sort of help is highly apreciated
Hey guys,
My gps isn't working accurate.
First off it worked pretty good but when I changed to a custom rom (android revolution Hd) it didn't anymore.
When i use google maps, it takes a damn long time to get a fix on my position and when it does it stays accurate for about 5 seconds and then it starts to change to a street next to me then to another side... etc. . Also when i am standing still it jumps for my location to 50meters ahead of me and behind me, changing my speed to 20km/h ... I think you get the problem. Also the same problem on navigon (navigation software) it is constanly rerouting me because of the inaccurate position. So its not an application issue.
I flashed the rom as it should be, with boot.img through fastboot and zip file in cwm. Except for the gps there are no other issues.
Then i flashed the original rom in cwm with boot.img in fastboot, still the same problem.
I then tried CM10 and it became even worse... every 20 seconds it gave me a position update in maps and with navigon there wasn't even a update because it couldn't get a fix.
And i also used fasterfix on every rom except the original one (not rooted) to set my gps to europe.pool.ntp.org or something like that...
Now i am trying to revert to android revolution HD but first my battery has to be charged above 10% and it goes damn slow because of the bricked boot (made a mistake while changing form CM10 to And rev HD) Can't flash the and rev HD yet but does somebody in the meantime know a solution ?
Somebody ??
Could it be a problem with the kernel ? because i didn't flash one separatly
Does somebody has a solution ?
Unfortunately, I also have the same problem with rom coredroid and igo primo aid to some expert please
thanks
I had the same issue when I moved from Stock to the Modaco Ir5 Vanilla ROM, my GPS didn't even go as far as finding my location inaccurately, it didn't work at all. Hence I couldn't use my maps/navigation.
I am now running the Slim Bean ROM and everything is working great. I am no expert, but have you always done the usual 'full wipe data > clear cache partition > clear Dalvik cache' while flashing new ROMs?
For your charging issue, maybe try this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646135
My phone is now allright but you i'll try the rom you are speaking about and see if the gps works better.
and... Also tried another kernel (eternity) but it still didn't work
I had this issue and had it fixed after sending my phone to service 3 times.
The first time they only did a reset, didn't help.
Second time they changed the wifi, GPS module, didn't help.
I sent them a recording of the problem on the third time. This time they changed the motherboard and it finally got fixed.
Remember to tell them that the issue is specially visible when GPS and WiFi are both on.

This may help - GPS Fix.
It worked for me, but not for the faint hearted.
Hi everyone,
since I updated to 2.10 software version, I have a recurring bug...
When I activate power saving mode, every time when I turn screen on the GPS icon appears and seems to be trying to locate the phone, although I have GPS deactivated and location settings set to power saving at all times.
I've tried it with many custom ROMs, stock and elementalx kernel, but it's still there. Is this a bug from HTC ? Haven't found anything regarding this on the forum.
thanks!

I have no problems. You problem seems to be because of some app you have installed. Did you try to check after a full wipe without any apps installed or without restoring any backups?
thanks for your answer. Nope, haven't tested after a factory reset but I will try if I can't find any explaination... TBH, I thought as long as GPS is off (when location settings are set to battery saving) no app was allowed to use it. So if one of them does it anyway, I have to find out which one! Is it more likely to be an app with root access ?
