[Q] Screen rotation for lefties?

I got my ET4G a couple weeks ago and I've noticed that when the screen is rotated horizontally (for games), my left hand covers the light sensor and causes the screen to get darker. I could disable the auto-brightness, but I kinda like that for battery life.
So, is there a way I could get the screen to rotate in the opposite direction so my left hand isn't blocking the light sensor?
I'm running the stock rom right now, and I know I could do it on my old phone which was running CM7, but I'm reluctant to root/flash my brand new phone just yet.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Any reason you couldn't just turn it the other direction?

I realized that the screen rotation is app-dependent. Some apps, like games, only rotate one way. Oh well. It's not a huge deal.

[Q] screen flickering

Hi guys,
anyone had an issue where the screen flickers really badly? Mine has been working great then today it did a weird glitch where the button bar at the bottom went halfway up the screen, and the screen flickered really bad, like a tube light starting up. Ive reset it and now its flickering like a fluorescent tube light. everything still works, but im on the phone to three now organising to get it returned.
cheers
Ray

ok, so an update to this. after leaving the phone on all day the flickering screen stopped flickering, however now i have an issue where plugging my ear pollution headphones causes the phone to now show as a headset with microphone, and the voice assistant to appear. It is also now getting really hot on charging where it didnt before, so my returns envelope arrived today, and its off back to LG for a repair. Seems very strange how its happened after a month of relatively light use, where my 2 htc phones were working great after 2 years of use?
anyway, lets see what rubbish comes back from LG

[Q] Sometimes several lines appear in the bottom of screen

I have problem with my beloved phone. Sometimes there are several horizontal lines appear in the bottom of screen and disappear after being locked - unlocked. Is that a bug of firmware/ROM? I used Revo 5 and now using Carbon 4.4.4 n the anoyying line still appeare sometimes. Maybe the problem is recovery or anything like that..
Anyone knows how to solve it??

Defective LCD
Try to replace a brand new LCD buddy, the lines that appear is a sign that your LCD is not in good condition, however you can still use your phone for several period of time.

Quick screen 'taps' register as 'drags' after screen replacement

Hi everyone.
I have recently had my screen replaced. After playing around, i quickly noticed that my keyboard screws up when i start typing.
The faster i type, the worse the problem is.
I checked touch response times and achieves normal times of about 60ms, however, i turned on touch overlay in developer settings and noticed that if i touch opposite sides of the screen quickly (to simulate typing), it would draw lines between the touches as if i was dragging between the two points.
This is what causes my keyboard to do funky stuff and heavily lag when typing fast.
Please note that this never happened before the screen replacement, and a hard reset didnt fix the problem.
Is there any software fix for this, or do i need another screen?
thanks.

I mainly work on iPhones, but it sounds like your digitizer is out of calibration. Don't know if there's a software fix for it, but hopefully this will point you in the right direction. Also I'd take it back to the place you had it repaired and see if they can fix if it's still warrantied.

Screen too dim, backlight(Maybe) not working.

Hi all. I have a rather weird issue. After droping(oops) my phone, I ordered a new lcd. I shelved the phone as it was unusable until the screen arrived. When the screen arrived, I saw that the battery was dead. I charged it and changed the lcd. That's for the backstory. Fast forward to now. When I open the phone, the screen lights up at full brightness as one would expect at the android one logo. It stays there at full brightness for about 8secs But as soon as it starts loading android the screen dims to absolute dark. In the beginning I thought the phone was closing, you can't see anything... Unless you close the lights.
But even in absolutely dark room, the screen is still very dim, barely discernible. The phone works absolutely fine otherwise, touch camera sound etc. I backtracked the process and put it's original screen on, but it does the same.
I tried disabling auto brightness it does nothing. In fact, changing brightness from the slider does absolutely nothing whatsoever.
Tried calibrating the sensors from the engineering menu(not sure it was called that, the one you enter when you put numbers on the call menu) they seem to be working, but the brightness doesn't change.
Tried removing the battery for a prolonged amount of time (around 6 hours iirc). Still same.
At this point i'm thinking:
1)Software problem. I will really need to hard reset the whole thing, which i'd rather not, and hope for the best.
2)Bad screen, which doesn't explain why the previous one has the same problem, or why the screen works during the logo.
I hope I was able to give enough info. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I'm having almost the same issue (display very dim, but for me it is always very dim) and this manifested not after any dropping or screen replacement, I guess I just wrongly inputed a button sequence that configured the mobile in this weird status. It is really annoying as it is almost impossible to unlock sims, basically the phone is unusable, very frustrating....

Hey there, did anyone found a solution for this issue?

Has anyone solved this problem?

Have you found what was causing this?
I’ve the same issue, replaced the lcd on a xiaomi mi a1 and the backlight is present at the logo startup but completely black after that.[br]
On a dark room I can barely see the screen and all it’s working, but adaptive light button is missing, seems like the bootloader is able to use the backlight but not android itself

I have the exact same problem, i really hope someone knows a solution to this. I tried pretty much anything within my capabilities
