After no reply, I'm editing the title and the rest.
System:
Phone: LG SU640
OS: Android 4.1.2 V30C V3 ROM by team TNT(SU640_TNT_V3_OK.zip)
Problem/s:
A)
1. After rebooting the phone, brightness reverts back to 100% and Auto Brightness is deselected automatically.
2. Screen timeout reverts back to 2 Minutes, no matter what I do.
Steps I've taken:
1. Flashed back to V10i_00.kdz, tried upgrading to V30C, then flashing the custom ROM by team TNT, this was done many times.
2. Tried apps to control brightness but even if something works a bit, it almost kills the games' like subway surfer or Air Attack HD's performance.
B)
I can't even run any custom rom since they lag like hell and are almost unusable.
I've run out of options. Will some experienced person please take some of his/her precious time and give some advice regarding these problems.? I'm stuck here an almost unusable phone. I'll be happy with anything that works properly.
I'll really appreciate it.
SOLUTION:
Get the ROM and Instructions link from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2373902
Follow exact instructions for flashing it and let the ROM settle for some hours, it may get stabilized after a few Reboots.
Avatar ROM isn't behaving well, neither is AOKP. Heard good feedback about CM on this model.
Edit: Brightness problem isn't just on this model, I've been told that LG LU6200 has the same bug so it is software related.
When you select 100% Brightness, and then you check auto brightness, nothing happens. It works only when you lower the brightness slider, yes, you can still adjust brightness slider when it should be disabled. LG should fix this.
Anyone with any suggestion at all?
I've done everything I could, please help me so I can use my phone again.
Does auto brightness work with any roms, stock or custom?

First of all, thank you for replying.
Yes, auto brightness works in Avatar Rom without any problems but the ROM itself lags like hell for some reason. I've tried MIUI unofficial too but the same lag.
It worked in stock GB too but then I flashed it and it stopped working. When I flashed it to ICS, Auto brightness settings used to stick at the boot but not anymore.
Auto brightness feature is adjustable through velis auto brightness program but it has a severe negative impact on the performance of any running applications. Experimenting with softwares revealed that the sensor itself isn't faulty.
As a last resort, I tried updating it with official lg online updater and it updated the stock rom to V30D. Now brightness settings reverts back, auto brightness is unselected and screen timeout goes back to 2 Minutes.
Very frustrating.
Edit: I'll be very happy if I can use Avatar ROM on my phone without any lag, then I won't have to rely on stock ROM.
Edit 2: I can't reply to any message via inbox. Whatever the problem is.

I have auto brightness switched off but it sometimes switches itself back on. It always does this when I reboot the phone. I've checked apps that have brightness settings and all of them have auto brightness switched off so I'm confused why it defaults, especially on reboot, to auto.
Is this normal? Any ideas?
I seem to have a lot of questions tonight.
Once you have so 'many' problems with your current rom (auto-reset to auto-brightness, high battery drain by dialer, wrong contacts display), I suggest to wipe everything and flash it again.

Not just this ROM though Matdroid. I had the same auto brightness issue with CM7, RCMix, InsertCoin and my current ROM (Cool Sensation). That's why I'm beginning to think this is normal but I'm guessing you don't have this problem so there must be a setting somewhere that's causing this on my phone.

Except for the autobrightness issue (do not use it), you are right, I do not have these problems. To be very sure it's not the rom, go back to stock. If the problems persist, call htc.
I love the DINC2 so far, but one thing that I wish I could change is the softkey brightness.
Are they supposed to be always on? Even with the clock in night mode?
I tried LED hacks and a few other brightness control apps, but no luck so far.
Does anyone know of an app that can dim/turn off the softkey backlight?

LOL just flash virtuous 2.35 softkeys don't work, but everything else does. No softkeys lighting up is not all that bad.

Well, so much for that!
Thanks for letting me know.
what rom are you running? stock? on cyanogen mod the softkeys go out on night mode in the clock app.
Right now I'm running the debloated stock, but am thinking of skyraider zeus.
Had it on there yesterday, but then lost mobile service after unlocking the SIM, and decided to try the stock rom. Service came back, and now I'm chicken to try flashing again.
Does global mode work with cyanogen? I will use this phone in Europe later this year and want a stable rom with working global.

According to post #18 SkyRaider Zeus does work in global mode. I haven't tested it, but I have been running SkyRaider Zeus for about a week now and I love it.
Yep, that's part of the reason I want to use it, but I'd like it even better if it had softkey backlight control, too. I guess I will have to risk flashing and seeing what happens with the softkeys.
When I ran it yesterday, it was bright daylight, and I only noticed how annoying the backlit keys were later that night, when the phone was running debloated stock.
There's no risk flashing most stable roms from the dev section. Make sure you have a working backup of your current rom and you're good to flash new ones. I had an issue trying to mess with global mode on my phone once and it required me to do a restore of a working backup I had then all was fine again.
Also in the cm7 thread this post confirmed working global mode recently. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17245922

Thanks for the info!
When I ran into the no service problem after unlocking the Sim, I restored via cwm, but nothing
worked. Got an endless 'loading, this can take several minutes. Please wait.
This was the backup of the stock ROM, though.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
if you had issues restoring a backup in clockwork then it wouldnt have been because you unlocked the sim card. sounds like you had a corrupt backup or something went wrong with the backup you were trying to restore. but out of curiosity, how long did you let it try to restore before you gave up?
The restore went through successfully, according to CWM, but when the phone restarted, I was stuck with: Loading! It can take several minutes. Please wait.
I waited for an hour, and then flashed the debloated ROM.
What happened after the SIM unlock (I was running Skyraider Zeus at the time), was that I lost my mobile service.
I am sorry to hear you are having problems. I hope you didn't lose any data. I run cm7 nightlies. I have heard that cm7 supports global mode. I also use an app called "Screen Filter". When I was unrooted/stock, the app would not turn off my softkey backlight (there is an option to enable or disable softkey backlight), but on cm7, the feature works. I have two widgets, one set at 46.8% without softkey backlight, and one set at 97.8%, also without softkey backlight. The second one barely dims the screen, and turns the softkey backlight off. And best of all, with cm7 I am able to assign one of them to long press search key, so I can turn off the softkey lights from anywhere. I have not tested it, but there is a chance this could work on a rooted sense rom (the screen filter setting). I know it works on cm7 though.
Also, with cm7 you can control the brightness of the softkeys (if you only want to dim them) if you customize the auto-brightness (the setting is built into the rom), but then you have to use auto-brightness (I do that as well).
Hope that helped!

Thank you!
You don't know how happy it makes me to hear that cm7 does global and screen filter works with the softkey backlight!
I'm a big fan of Screen Filter, anyhow.
Can you tell me where I can find the latest stable version of cm7 to try out? Or do I need to grab a nightly?
Any ideas on battery use, and signal strength with cm7? I have pretty horrible signal strength with the debloated stock rom, though it was no better with the unrooted stock.

There is no stable version yet, but here is the link for the nightlies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156343
I find them stable enough for daily use. I have used WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, 3G, Tethering, SMS and MMS with Handcent, etc. and have never had any problems (other than the compass issue with AOSP, which I really don't mind, as it's fine when I'm moving).
There is also a beta:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153261
if you don't want to deal with nightlies. I haven't used it, but I have heard it's good enough for daily use.
I do have pretty bad signal strength with this rom, however I have always had bad signal strength and have never dropped a call/had to resend a message. At best I can get around -80 dbm, but usually I'm around -90.
My battery use has been okay. Not 72 hours like some people report (I don't see how that's possible with any rom), but with ~2 hours of screen on time, I'm usually just below 50% at the end of the day. So I charge every night, but I never worry about making it through a day. I use the Tiamat kernel because without it the speaker on calls is too low for me, but another benefit is that Tiamat includes the smartass governor, which is supposed to help battery life.
Thanks again!
I'll check out cm7.
Yes! It works!
I have the latest nightly and screen filter controls the backlight!
Thanks a million, and also for mentioning the long press option.
Now I use that for turning off the soft keys when reading. Much nicer than having to go back to the home screen.
I installed cm9 after using cm7 and cant get the four buttons on the phone to light up. They are accessible but not illuminated. has anyone else encountered this problem.
Also I was wondering if the Cm7 uses more battery than cm9
You have to use auto brightness.
cm9 illumination
If you mean display auto brightness ok but when I'm outside I can't see the screen...guess ibhave to toggle back and forth. I had switched back to cm7. In your opinion is 9 worth changing to. It seems like in 7 everything is working pretty well.
Thank you for the reply

Toggling auto brightness on and off solves it. Just tinker with it..

Ive been using the dinc2 since last July and I got used to the buttons to the point that I noticed they didn't light up, but until I saw this post, I never considered it a "problem". Since I knew where they were and didn't need to see them to use them. If they ever do "fix" this issue I hope they allow for a settings option to keep them turned off. I actually enjoy them off, in my mind its just one more security feature. I know when my wife tries to use my phone she needs to see them, and since recently rooting to CM9 I don't want her bricking my phone. Because of the unlit buttons she has stopped using my phone (she uses some cheap AT&T phone, refuses to switch to Verizon). Just throwing my opinion in the mix. Thanks for the post as well I wasn't sure it was intentional or not.

I believe in the advanced brightness settings under CMSettings you can do just that. Whenever I run a CM rom, I always go to the brightness settings under edit Other Levels and set all the softkey values on the far right column to 255 so they're always the same brightness and look nice. I like the sheen they have, but I can only see it when they're close to full brightness.
If you did the opposite, set all the values to 0 and then click Save and Apply Values at the top of that screen, they should, theoretically, never turn on.
Thank you ....as I am new to a rooted phone and this forum I didn't know those adjustments were available...learn something new everyday ......
Does cm9 drain the battery alot quicker or is it unnoticeable

Unfortunately, I can't answer that question for you, as my phone doesn't like our ICS builds. Until we get a leaked official kernel and some source, I'm SOL.

Where exactly are these settings? Running CM7 with the same problem as the OP and can't find it anywhere. Edit: found the settings and putting them all at 255 didn't do anything. Any other ideas?
Hi guys
Im very happy so far with the Note2 I think when you get used to the size is the best android phone (not for long I know )
However I can't strees how annoyed I am with the Autorotate BUG
every other day i need to restart the phone because it would not rotate.
does any one know a way to fix , or have a better solution than restart the phone?
Many thanks to all who read this
Um..disable Smart Rotation in Display Settings, and Uncheck and Recheck Auto-rotate Screen, Make sure Auto-rotate is enabled in your Notifications Area. I had this bug in very Galaxy S phone so far, guess its Android's way of saying Root! :laugh:

How does rooting solve this issue?
I have a similar issue but it rotates when I place the phone down to a flat desk or surface.
i'm on Monxdified rom previously & rooted ..
the issue still persists ... so root wont solve the issue
That confirms it is indeed, an Android bug, nothing you can do about it unless you e-mail Samsung and Google.
What bug is this? I haven't had it, or haven't noticed it yet. I use smart stay, but not smart rotation. How can I reproduce this bug?

My GT - N7105 (i like to add the preceding GT thinghy lol)
I don't think is a Android problem of all my different android devices this is the one giving me trouble
is nothing to do with root, my phone is rooted and im using this [GT-N7105]N7105XXDLL4 deodexed Rom V1.1 [4.1.2]
I was not sure if is a problem of the ROM itself or in general that way i put in there.. is anyone having that trouble?
thanks
Hey guys!
I have exactly the same problem with my N7100 running the N7100XXDMC3. The issue came up the day after I bought my phone. I've rooted it, flashed the last firmware and did a format system and wipe cache, data foactory and dalvik cache. The bug still persists.
I've written an email to Samsung they told me to do the update and wipe the datas (What I've already done). They told me if the bug is still present to bring the phone back.
Have you resolved the bug ? Please help me because it's very annoying :/
Mine does the same and I have exhanged one unit because of it and still happens its weird wished samsung would fix it. Only seems to happen when I watch a video for long period of times. Dont have smart rotation enabled either
I've got the solution ! Well it's not the solution but a solution. Download the app rotation lock adaptive. It fixes the bug and even allows to get a total rotation. I bought the app to thank the developer but a free version also exists.
Auto rotation

Reset the phone always works...and so does reboot the phone...the bug returns in a few days. am on the most recent ME1 update for the N7100 but the issue persists...its not an issue with the launcher, root orkernel related...I tried all the combinations ...
I noticed this after updating to 4.1.2.
Looking around the web this update seems to be the culprit. Mine gets stuck in landscape mode every two days or so, however launching the stock dialer fix the issue.

I have had the same problem on my N7105 since the 4.1.2 android update.
I realised that the bug occurs only when brightness is set to manual.
I did the following to fix it:
1. I installed Velis Auto Brightness app
2. I run the app setup wizard with default options
3. I set the note 2 brightness to auto (this has no effect anyway because Velis override it)
4. I restarted the phone
5. I selected my preferred auto brightness profile through Velis
My phone's auto rotate now works perfectly!
I hope this works for you as well!
Hey guys ,
I've noticed that my auto brightness it's not working at all. I need to swipe it to change it.. either I'm in a dark room or outdoors.
Anyone experiencing the same problem ? I triple checked , auto brightness is on but just not working .
Anyone knows any fix for it ?
If it was working in the previous betas, it is probably not a hardware failure (Unless you unleashed havoc on the device during this beta). While it may be that the latest beta has brightness issues, in which case try re-flashing the firmware, Android P has introduced some weird Ai-Controlled Auto-Brightness, which could be the cause. I'm not sure if the new auto-brightness is working yet, so that could also be that cause. Take all of this with a pinch of salt though, I'm new to Pixel, but not new to android development

I just checked with mine and it's working. Try (re)flashing the factory image.
it's also work on my phone without a problem
Having slight issues with mine as well. I noticed it randomly will turn itself off at some point during the day. I seem to always have to re-enable it everyday.
