Hi, does anybody have issues with light sensor/auto brightness on Nexus 4?
Sometimes mine stops working and brightness does not change with light variations.
Rebooting solves the problem.
I am running PA 4.5 beta 2 with stock kernel, but it happened sometimes also on stock rom.
Thanks!

Shouldn't be a problem with PA, I'm running it with no problems.
Maybe you have dirt over your sensor or maybe a thick screen guard over it?

Thank you, but I have no screen film and no dirt on the sensor.
It works again restarting the phone, it seems to stop working after an undefined period of time.

Try searching google for the lux auto brightness apk. Install this and let it take control of your auto brightness. See how it is. Make sure you download the full version.

Read the forums read the verry first post to find out any problem you find.
And turn on auto brightness
Sent from my HTC Vision
I'm also running Andromadus v13 but the light works as it should.
Did you already try to flash it again?
Check your auto screen brightness

You need to turn on auto screen brightness, setting the value (ie turning it off) causes the keyboard light not to come on.

Thanks very much. That was it.
This is NOT solved.
This is not solved. When you turn off auto brightness, it works until you open or close the keyboard and then it stops working again. Can someone post a fix?
I have something weird happening ,when auto-brightness is enabled or the phone screen is dimming down right before it goes to sleep a grey transparent looking screen flickers and sometimes sticks until i touch the screen to wake the phone back up and bring it back to whatever brightness setting i had it on . Im probably gonna do a warranty exchange when i get home i just wonder if this has happened to anyone else

I think I know what you are talking about. It's got to do with "Auto adjust screen tone" in Setting -> Display. For whatever the reason, transition between high brightness level and auto adjust screen tone isn't quite smooth. This happens all 3 of my Note 2 and S3. It's annoying as hell...
Let me know if that fix the flickering issue.
I have the same problem and every so often when useing the s pen the hole phone goes nuts, screen flipping by at a fast rate of speed and it is go from dim to bright to dim really fast too.
I have restart the phone and works for a few days and it comes right back.
Mike was it exposed to moisture? How long did you have the brighter note apk on there also?

No moisture exposure and its definitely a hardware issue im sure of ,don't think the app has anything to do with it

probably not
I had the same issue. Its not a hardware issue or app or anything . You have to odin back stock . I won't go into detail but there is something stuck on your partition from a kernel it sounds to me that can only be removed by going back stock . That's a know issue with the note 2 with kernels. If you flashed a kernel that's why .
Maybe it is just me and my device, but since the MM update (the real one, not the beta) my notification LED doesn't work. I have tested it with text messages, emails, missed calls, charger plugged into my computer, charging plugged into a standard charger, and charging plugged into the fast charger... nada on any of them.
Anyone having this issue? If so how have you rectified it? It has been a minute since I first got this thing (got it at launch) and the MM update reset all my settings so maybe there is a setting to turn it back on I am missing?
Help out a brother if you can. Thanks.
OK, so does anyone have any suggestions for an app that might help by letting me manually setup the notification LED?

Thanks for the reply. It is not in DND as far as I can tell (not on).
If you haven't already, try a factory reset first

Actually yes. After I wiped my phone for my wife the notification now works.
Another issue that I recently found the solution to... if your ZF2's proximity sensor has gotten crazy sensitive since the update try cleaning it. Seriously. Especially if you have a tempered glass screen protector. I thought the piece of advice was bogus but I cracked out my lens cleaning spray and cloth and BOOM, the proximity sensor works correctly again.

Thanks! Got the led working again after a factory reset.
By the proximity sensor do you mean the little one next to the selfie camera or the GPS?
After a lot of fixed I've got the ZF2 working fine, except for the "smartlock - safe places" that thing can never work right.

Sorry, I just realized that you had replied.
Yes, the one beside the camera. Many have had an issue where the screen goes black after you start or answer a call, especially after the update. It seems the update made the proximity sensor much more sensitive. Since all decent screen protectors have a small cutout for the proximity sensor it will tend to accumulate dirt and oil from your skin. Wiping it down doesn't seem to get it clean enough for the sensor so you have to get a little more aggressive to clear the problem up. I went months enduring the problem and even set my phone so I could disconnect from calls using the power button and then ended up stumbling over the solution when setting up the phone for my wife when I upgraded to my Axon 7.
No led indicator
Hi i've been experiencing the same issue. After I update my zenfone 2 ZE551ML 4gb/64gb version, I have noticed that the led incator is not working and it is not found in the settings. Also, another issue I have encountered is that quick charging feature is not working sometimes but sometimes it works. I don't know how to fix. I'd be glad if someone could help with a step by step process. Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone, I got LeEco Le Pro 3 two weeks ago. For the past two weeks of testing, I notice that the screen quickly turns red when pressing the power button to turn the screen off. Is any of you facing this problem? It happens randomly, not every time. I have attached the video in slow motion capture in the 7z zip file. So you can see, what I am talking about. Let me know if any of you see it.
In mine sometimes it blink red. Power sleeping your phone rapidly. May red screen is reaction for force kill app?

I did not power sleep my phone rapidly. The red screen still persist. I don't know if force kill app cause it. I submit the feedback through the leeco experience center about this issue. This is what I got from them:
"Le Engineer
Hello,
I just get some information for this issue, in low battery level the red screen issue will happen sometimes. We also find the same thing on other brand device.
However R&D team are working on it. Hope it will be fixed in next generation product.
Sorry for inconvenience. Thank you for choosing the LeEco."
So I don't know if my phone is defective or not. It's hard to tell. Base on this message, look like there is no fix for this.
I saw this movie. My phone behave as same as your <sometimes>. May it's EUI problem? Somebody on other ROM like MIUI or CM13 can say something?

Mine occur sometime, too. Here is what I analyze:
1. On the home screen; when pressing power button to turn off, red screen occur sometime.
2. Any app that has white background like the waze app I use in the video, red screen occur every time I turn off the screen while leaving the app running. That goes for other app like chrome, whatsapp, google map, gmail, etc. Same result.
3. On the back button, when I press hold, the screen turns off. No red issue. This was on the home screen and this rarely happen. But for apps that is open, same issue.
That is what I like to know if it is hardware defect or software EUI problem. It looks like software issues. It would be great if someone would test it with different roms such as CM13 or MIUI.

It could be a software issue since I don't have that on CM.

I never seen with MIUI 8, can anyone give me a sequence to try ?
Tried some times, shut down it's too rapid to see with MIUI.

If you have another phone with slow motion support just like I did, you can try that.
Other thing I want to mention, I would like to know that if the red screen does not happen to people who have CM or MIUI on lepro 3, can any of you go back to EUI and try to do the same steps? If you can. This would more confirm that the software is the issue and not the hardware defect.
Any update?
Hi folks! I've been searching for this rare issue since I got my LM2 last week. I have the very same issue and I notice the same @crazy1990 mentioned here. Besides, I notice this red light is more noticeable when the brightness is higher.
IMO, I don't feel it's a matter of bad hardware (I hope so), as there are no clues of any other issues at all. I'm also using stock (23s) and I suspect it's some poorly designed fade for the ROM.
Any updates from anyone?
Yes. Red screen blink is noticeable when the brightness is high. As of June, I still have this issue since November on this stock rom 21s. So far, there was no screen degradation or any kind of lcd problem. Lcd works perfect since day one. A while back, I installed lineageOS and I still experience red screen when the rom froze and reboot. At this point, I still don't know if it is the software or hardware. I hope someone can help us out.

No, but I already tried omnirom and purity rom. No red screen issue. I also tried tars 21s and turbo base rom, the issue is there.

Great to know it doesn't happen on Omni/Purity. My biggest concern was an increasing degradation and/or flickering issues arising when changing to a stock ROM.
Thanks for your information.

Mine is exactly the same.
Please explain your issue further. I am on global stable 11.0.6.0 and experiencing no issues with the auto brightness.
Yeah please tell us more because me neither I don't have any issue and it works like it should, adjusting brightness of the screen automatically on global eu 11.0.2.0.
I even have set some scripts with MacroDroid to turn it off on low light environments like home to save battery and eye strain and an other script to turn Auto brightness on when ambient light is above 75 lux. Works like a charm.
Regards.

Okay... Well you can be in the exact same lighting and the brightness will lower if you move or cover the sensor in any way. E.g. phone is facing away from the light then brightness will lower as it detects "less" light.
same here -
auto brightness is just fixed brightness
Same here... Autobrightness sucks in this device... I use manual brightness
I test light sensor in the hidden menu and it always show 0 lux.
My light sensor works fine as i have said in the other thread, The light sensor test is working and adjusts as i cover the sensor.

doesn't work for me too, since the last two updates (android 10) 11.0.4 and 11.0.5 (QGGMIXM) when I go to test menu the DAC is always 0.000000 luxes and sometimes it changes but slowly
I confirm my sensor on EEA Global phone using stock Rom V11.0.2.0.(A9).PGGEUXM is working perfectly fine as it should.
Are all the people having issues on one of the A10 Rom or maybe some special phone regional flavor? In that case could be a driver issue for sensor on A10.
Hope this helps.
Somebody should make a poll so we can see how widespread this problem is.
Light sensor Doesnt work any more for me too.
Dac : 0 lux
Must restart device to work again.
Miui 11.0.3.0 global
Android 10
Edit : works again with last Xiaomi updates screen recorder or cleaner.
Same problem here , works fine for some days and then DAC shows 0 lux with the brightness dropped low. It can be fixed only with a reboot.
Hello
Yes, the sensor goes to zero even after updating to mi12.
I feel like it does after adjusting the brightness manually.
can you confirm ?
Same here. Is there a way to fix light sensor permanently? DAC value shows 0. Can be fixed temporarily after a reboot but then fails again.
light sensor sometimes gets stuck, restart phone to get it working gain.
TOTALY disable sunlight mode. this fixed mine problem. If u cantt disable sunlight mode, disable autobrightnes first, disable sunlight mode and reenable autobrightnes. Finaly works for me!!!
