Screen brightness increases when batt gets low - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

When my gets to about 5% battery the sceen brightness goes all the way up and the option to adjust it becomes unusable. When i try to adjust it in power saving mode it has no effect. Anyone else having this issue? Im running jugs 5.0

Bump

Happens to me on Darkside, figured it is a samsung bug...
Solution is to not let it drain that low. It's bad for the battery anyways.

Yeah I thought it was just me, but this has happened on two different phones and a few different roms, including stock.

Things i hate about the recent ics update

Los problems i never had before
Bad battery life
No mass storage usb mode
The worst is... It makes sound when you power it off now. Who was the genius that thought that one up? Like on the middle of a movie theater or in a meeting.
This is driving me to root my phone. Gj Samsung.

1. Let the kernel sit sometimes it takes a while to set in. If not try a factory reset. Resets are usually needed after an Android update to function properly. My batt did drop a lil than on GB but not too bad.
2. I believe sfhub has a tweak to enable USB storage back if you need it that bad.
3. When in the movie theater or a meeting a phone should be on vibrate from the start. All it takes is a drop down of the notification bar and voila vibrate or silent without powering down. But if you chose to power off the sound it makes would be silenced.
None of your issues sound as bad as what many others are experiencing..

My wife's phone now takes 3+ seconds to wake from sleep and she constantly complains about the big ugly notification icons.
Still can't convince her to root though... oh well.

We need more details than "its freezing"
what are you doing when its freezing? How many apps do you have open, what kind of apps? what sorts of switches do you have on ?(wifi, gps, bluetooth,...), etc etc etc
more details
and also your definition of freezing.
If the phone is brand new, and is "freezing" and you have to pull the battery out to fix it and all during non intensive and few things, exchange it - its faulty
Just doing random things, I'm anal about to much background stuff so it's always clean. And I have my brightness close to 100, when I put it lto sleep and wake it up its so dim and I need to tap the brightness seek bar to get it back up

Sounds like an app you downloaded may be messing with your brightness settings.
Also, have you updated to the latest over the air update from rogers?

Ya, running 4.0.4. I did a battery pull and let it die. I've been good so far. The brightness deal is pissing me off. Maybe light flow?

I would go one but one with apps you think are suspect. Uninstall one by one until you find the culprit.
I dont have the same issue as you, although I usually keep my phone at 0 brightness

From what I've read and heard there are some bugs with the SIII and light flow. I'd recommend uninstalling it, rebooting and seeing if that fixes your problem. I along with other SIII owners had issues with it when I had it so I uninstalled it until the issues are fixed.

go to s voice and turn off wake up command, and someone here on xda found a bug that kept it awake and he has the fix for it i applied it to my phone but i wont be able to test it until tomorrow morning
I use all options that drain battery:
Svoice unlock
Motions
Face screen on
Hights screen quality, ect
I use 1.8ghz overclock
My battery last all day
Wanna know how
Cpu controle
Its easy, auto loads all your settings, just use the profiles
Set screen off and in call to a much lower cpu clock speed. Like 900mhz

Cm9 car mode Phantom

I'm having trouble with car mode coming on whenever it wants to im running cm9 any ideas?

Likewise
As of last night I started to have this issue as well. It is eating my battery life as it turns on my screen at random intervals. The clock app seems to be affected as well, as it will switch to it if I am using my phone. I am debating whether I should just remove cm9, and suffer through touchwiz. My phone is bordering on being unusable. Please help.
That usually means that there's a pin bent, or damaged in your usb slot.

Huge battery drain from low-brightness screen?

Hey guys, I'm struggling with a battery drain problem, and it appears to be all coming from the screen. I attached some screenshots. Any ideas?
My brightness is literally almost as low as it can go, so no, I will not turn my brightness down. I do not have automatic brightness.

You might want to try resetting your battery stats to recalibrate your battery, be a good place to start.
That's fairly normal... Screen should usually be about 70% or more of your battery life if everything is normal. 9 hours isn't that bad of battery life, but if you don't feel it's up to par, try one of these-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51743975
Screen using that much battery is a good sign... Everything is relative. The fact that your screen is using more % is a sure sign that all your apps are using very little of the battery, which is *GOOD*!
It's all a way of thinking.
Hope this helps,
