Hello,
Has anyone noticed an issued with Go Launcher EX and how it changes the brightness every time you lock your phone. For example at night I will change it to lowest brightness, and if the screen times out or if I lock the phone; when and I unlock it, it automatically goes bright.
Does anybody knows how to fix this bug or is having the sames issue.
I believe it has a night mode somewhere. Might want to look for that. I know go SMS does, if you are using that you may want to check that also.

I actually notice the difference the other day, I thought there was something wrong with my screen, so I factory reset my phone and WOW its bright again. Really Weird, could not find a setting for it anywhere.

I asked it in the Themes Forum and did not get an answer that fixed the problem. The brightness is way too high using go Launcher EX.
So I figured I would ask in the Question Forum, where I should have asked in the first place. Can you please move this thread to the Question Forums. Thank you.

Is the screen brightness supposed to drastically change when auto brightness is enable. I've been playing around with it and noticed that when auto brightness is enable the screen will drastically change in different lighting conditions (with a couple second delay) For example, ill walk into a darker room the screen will get a lot dimmer after a couple of seconds and v-versu. The reason I asked is that my eco 4g would gradually adjust to point t where I didn't even notice.

I've noticed it rapidly changing like it can't decide a few times, and overall it's a bit too dim outdoors. Coming from an Evo as well and I never noticed it changing either.
Just going to keep an eye on it, not a huge issue for me. Might see if there's any way to override and manually specify the auto brightness thresholds.
There's a second setting called "Auto adjust screen power" further down on the display page - it could be that. It's some sort of thing that analyzes what's actually on the screen and tries to adjust for it.
I think it may just be a samsung thing. I have a Galaxy Tab 7" and I noticed that it was doing this as well, and it drove me crazy. I just went into settings>display>brightness and turned it down manually to just under halfway indoors and if I know Im going outside, i turn it all the way up.
Ive also noticed thst it was auto adjusting even when i had it disabled which was probablt the "power adjustment" thing... But once i caught it turning the brightness down to "prevent overheating"!?

Really?! Thats bizarre. I wonder if it will constantly have the screen down while wireless tether is running.

Thanks. I also have auto adjust disabled. Since others are seeing it then I assume its a Samsung thing. Ill wait to see if others confirm. BTW this may just be me being a geek. I notice every little thing. The other is that the buttons at the bottom of the phone aren't as sensitive as the eco.

A tip I read somewhere but haven't tried yet is to turn auto brightness off and when you do, hold down on the notification bar (don't pull it down, just hold a finger on it) and slide left or right to adjust brightness on the go. Not for sure if it works but give it a try (I'm chargin my phone while it's off now so I can't yet).

It works. I just tried it. That is pretty cool!
Worked for me too. That's great. Thanks. Where did you read that? Are there other tips?

This was a feature in the original epic as well. It is pretty cool. I just use this to change brightness . The only time i change is when i go out in the sun.

Can't remember anymore besides the screen shot one which has been mentioned. Tap home and the power button simultaneously. Also can't remember where I read it.

I would honestly say its a combination of things BC I have used roms where its totally obvious (on froyo) where on others its completely impossible to notice the change.

They kept the good features from the Epic. I like the feature in "Contacts" where you can swipe right on a contact to call them and left to send a message as well

I've had the brightness at the max, and turned off the Auto Adjust Screen Power option. Just while browsing XDA the screen dimmed, and when looking at the brightness setting it states "To avoid overheating, maximum brightness has been reduced.". This has happened at least three different times.
I'm hoping this isn't a serious issue. Have you had it do that multiple times for you as well?
Anyone having screen flicker while phone is in use? Split second screen flickers?

Turn off auto-brightness, and power saving.
whats weird
thanks for the advice... i tryed but its not it.. i know what u mean were it can go from light to dark.. but this is a very quick flicker of the screen.
could this be kernel related or even hard ware... im gonna try stock kernel.. im using faux 009.. this didnt happen on the 003 kernel...
faux says not all chips are created equal...just a guess... id hate to return for a refurb phone.. when this is my only problem...
time will tell... i was just wondering if anyone gets this very quick flicker.. not a shift in brightness......

I rarely get them. Once in a while if I am switching from an apps to home screen via home button . I see the main apps on the home screen flicker very quickly once.
I think it started happening when I installed the wicked rom red. Before I was full stock . Matter of fact while typing this message I seen it flicker twice.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
If you are in your 14 day period, I would exchange the phone.
This seems like a hardware issue, not a software one.
If the flicker continues then it will only get worse.
Before the screen shuts off on it's set timeout it dims. No idea why this is necessary since the screen will shortly time out anyway. Is there a way to remove the screen dimming before the screen shuts down or change the length of time before it dims ?
"SmartStay" (AKA NeverWorkedForMeStay) doesn't work at all for me. Maybe it's my glasses or maybe my ugly face scares it into shutting down but the point is how can I stop it from dimming before the screen shuts off? It just seems like such a useless and annoying "feature."

Obviously I don't want to "save the screen from turning off", I want it to stay on or I wouldn't have posted the question. :laugh:
That is not what your original question asked. You asked if you can get the screen to go off without dimming first. Now you are asking how to go into settings and adjust the display settings.

Obviously you didn't read beyond the first 20 or so words because beginning with "Is there a way ........." it actually asked the question I was interested in getting answered which no one has. The beginning was primarily a rant or more of a rhetorical question. :laugh: If the system allows I will edit it for clarity.

I suggest using and app called keepscreen (search on XDA as the Google version is seriously outdated and I updated it) and with it you can set certain apps to keep the screen on indefinitely or until you turn it off. I love it.

Everytime I unlock my note 2 the location icon comes up literatly every time, If I lock the device and then unlock it 10 seconds later its there, I can understand doing it if it was 15 mins or so.
Would this be an app doing this or is it just a samsung thing? Is there a way to tell or does everyones phone do this?

check if you have some weather app which refresh itself everytime you unlock the screen.
this is not samsung thing, I faced the same thing with some weather apps
I only have two weather apps, BBC and notification weather bother are set as 2 and 4 hours refresh time. Any other clues or apps I can find out using this?

Most likely an app and unless I do a lot of digging (I can't remember the apps name) I would shut off GPS unless needed... Essentials there is an app that can observe your wake lock behaviors and determine what the culprit is (I.e. which app is causing the GPS to trigger).. No one can really help you figure out a solution without knowing this info either... Do some research and see if you can't figure it out as I will in spare time try my best to point you in a better direction

Thank you for the honesty I have had a look at some apps and most weather have hour refresh rates. I thoght automate it could of been it but force closed it and it isn't that app either. Dont know why so many apps are allowed access to this stuff when they don't need it.

i was going to ask if you are using tasker- automate is a lot like it.....but it seems you have eliminated that possibiltiy

I do read them but unless you want the app what can you do? Heck if I read them I would only proberbly have one or two apps installed as all apps ask for loads of permissions they don't need at all that's what I meant.
Anyway found the app, sense v2 flip clock thought it looked the best out of all the look alikes. Gone back to beautiful widgets now and ain't had the location thing back yet. Strange because there is an option to update upon unlocking and I had unticked that so I guess it ignores your preferences.

I was hoping to find the ask any question without folks laughing but here goes.
I am wondering if there is a tap screen to wake setting, or kernel that will make this possible on the sgh-i747. My reason for asking is that I remember there being a box for tap to wake back when I had my nexus 7. It was running a clean rom and the elemental X kernel. So, I figure this is probably a kernel setting. Now if I let TWPR sit idle for a bit and the screen goes black, it does wake after tapping so I know the S3 is capable of this.
point me in the right direction if you can please.
this is for 4.4 that I am wondering.
thank you
I haven't messed with it much but Tap Tap App does basically this but with the proximity sensor instead of the screen

ill give it a shot once I set up quantum v3.21
and I am honored to issue you your first thanks!!
I only looked at ROMs for the longest time on here and never ventured much into the question threads until now. I have a lot of free time at work and enjoy a good search when I have the chance so I hope to become a lot more involved now to help out when I can.
Tap to wake isn't something I had thought about until I saw this and its a very interesting idea so i just did a quick search. I'll probably end up looking around tomorrow for more options if I get bored at work.
