[Q] setcpu causing screen to dim. solutions??

So basically I just rooted my phone and flashed to cyanogen mod 6.1 and I'm loving it. Thanks xda for the rooting and flashing process. I decided to go into overclocking my mytouch slide and everything seems to work perfect except for the fact when I turn off my screen and turn it back on the screen is at the dimmest setting it can get. I reset the brightness back to how I want it and then turn off the screen again and turn it on, and it reverts back to the dimmest setting. I booted up without having setcpu running and the screen settings stay the same after I turn the screen on and off. has anyone found or seen this before?? And if so, is there a solution to this problem??
Thanks

I've never heard of setCPU causing that problem. You may want to trouble shoot a bit more before pinning it on that. We need to knock some things off the list of possible culprits too.
What is the brightness set to, automatic?
Custom oc kernel (dumfuq's) or what's integrated into CM?
What are your clock settings in setCPU?
What governor are you using in setCPU?
Do you have profiles set, if so, what are they?
Have you messed with the light sensor or done any custom brightness tweaks (CM settings)?
You need to answer some of those first so we can narrow it down, you may have something set up wrong. There is also the issue of the phone not coming to full brightness when you try to catch it on the screen time out (screen is off - but not locked). That's fixed by locking it and unlocking.

Wildfire S - blank screen bug?

Is this a known bug?
When I use the power management widget and toggle the screen brightness to the lowest. Then when I go to stand-by (by clicking powerbutton or automaticly) and try to activate the phone again the screen stays black (touch buttons light up but I can't use them).
I have to take out the batterie and reboot to get the screen back...

I'm so happy to see this.
I have exactly the same problem. My Wildfire S arrived this afternoon. I used it without any problems until about 22.30, then all of a sudden it wouldn't get out of standby anymore. The only way to get it working again is indeed by removing the battery for a second.
I did a factory reset (through the general phone menu) and now the problem has disappeared, but it could come back any second.
Other people experiencing the same problem?
This is a phone bought in the Netherlands where I live by the way, the black Wildfire S.

I had the same problem.
I had my wildfire s mount to usb... and using the navigon software while driving... then suddenly went to black screen with the keys activated.
I tried to enable the screen but with no luck.
When I unplugged the usb...I push the power button... and suddenly it came back to normal.
!!
very strange.

well... I found a sort solution for this.
If you do what you said.... the only way to enable it again is to plug a usb...and unplugged it.
!!!!!
The bug starting when we enable the lowest brightness!!!!!!!

I'm having the same problem. If you don't set the brightness to the lowest, it won't happen. So, this will be consideration between stability and use duration

Just the Backlight is turned off.
I have the same problem. Use an external light source and bring light to your wildfire S and you'see it is still alive. If you are able to find your brightness settings using the flashlight, increase it and you will have your old display again... It is definetly a bug.

Hi,
so any news on this bug or whether htc is doing something about it?
Just got my WF S with the most recent software and still has this bug which is very annoying. Would be great to be able to use lower backlight for nights/less battery!!

UPDATE: using continuous lightness, I found that whenever I choose light lower than 12% it stays dark and has the bug, please HTC do something about it!!!

Has this been fixed in a custom rom or does it presist in all roms?

I had it on original and custom (CM7.2) ROMS.
Think this is general bug, too bad. or someone does NOT have this bug??

I have this bug too. But u can Try to Pull the ring in the middel, Then the Screen shoudl appear again.

I do not have this bug.
Stock European ROM 2.3.5, jikantarus OC Kernel, BL unlocked and rooted

That not asolution ilove my gnexus and im not thinking for replace it

Thats your only solution to banding.

Yes there is a solution just rise up the brightness and the vertical bending will dissapear but if you did you cant apply the auto brightness mode and thats the problem

Bigxie's rom let's you set the autobrightness level: it's the only one I've tried so I can't comment on whether there's other roms that do the same thing.

You can use an auto brightness app and set custom brightness levels, like mine.

Ive tried that app, free version on ics 4.0.3 and had several reboots\crashes.
One is when using pattern to unlock:
- Screen is set to turn off after 30 sec, when the screen dims before shutting off and i swipe the pattern it crashes reboots.
Also in normal operation when the screen dims at shutoff point and i do something to wake it it can crash\reboot.
I have had mainly two brightness settings, 40.0 and 130 lux (0.5mA)
40.0 was set at 21% and 130 at 33%.
When commuting on bus\train the light conditions change frequently and also that can cause the reboot\crash.

screen turns off tab 3_8

Hi
Have been using tab 3 for three days now and just today noticed that the screen turns off itself.
When the tablet lays down on the desk just a touch near power / volume buttons turns the display off.
At first thought it was due to overclocking app (ROM toolbox ) but turned off all profiles and again screen turns off when slightly touched on the edge.
Kernel: v13-10-14.3dg541fc6 - [email protected] #9
Has anyone experienced similar issues with tab 3_8 ?

Just a shot in the dark, is your screen display setting set too soon. I think 30sec is default. I set mine to 5min. Otherwise not sure..

Screen timeout inset to 10 mins
This must be something with cpu-overclocking as now without any profiles on screen never goes black again.
Just need time to play with profiles / different apps or maybe some of you can share yours overclocking experience

Good to know!

Go to Settings > Display > Colors & Saturation > and set it to "Standard". It will solve it.
Or if u still want to use "cool" color setting, Go to lock screen settings and turn on "Prevent pocket dials".

I had same issue with MiUi with Xposed installed ! If you RUN both....try uninstalling Xposed
