Backlight Settings Not Being Saved on Tilt 2 Phone

Is anyone else having problems with the backlight settings not being saved on the Tilt 2? I set my phone to have the backlight remain on for 1 minute, not 10 seconds as is the default setting. Every time that I soft reset the phone, however, it reverts back to the 10-second setting. How come my settings are not staying saved?

Try making the changes, and then shutting the phone down by holding the power button, and then restart the phone, and see if that works for you.

Thanks for the reply. Shutting down the phone is what is causing the backlight setting not to be saved and to revert back to the 10-second setting. I did try it again, though, as you suggested; but I got the same problem... It's a minor issue, but it's still frustrating. Thanks again for your response, though.

I have the same problem and i dont know what's causing it.

If you have added programs to your phone, that possibly could be the cause of the problem. I experienced it after adding a program.
You will have to remove your added programs, one by one, to see which one is the offender.

Thanks for the reply. I've just gotten the phone, so I haven't really installed any programs yet. The only one that I've installed is the "Marketplace" program that comes with the phone. I doubt that this is what's causing the problem. Thanks, though. Do you have any other thoughts? I've jus rebooted the phone again, and once more the backlight setting has reverted back to the 10-seconds setting. It's annoying! AT&T suggests that I hard-reset the phone to fix any potential bugs in the software. I'm not keen on doing this, however...

i had this problem with the new windows mobile 6.5 lockscreen and an older windows mobile 6.5 rom.
upgrading to a newer rom fixed this for me.
alternative: don't use the new lock screen.

Backlight Dimming Issue on Tilt 2
I just came across a fix (called TiltBacklightFix - see the link below to that page) for the Tilt (1) phone - I guess the same issue was found in those phones. I downloaded the cab to my phone, hoping that it might work on the Tilt 2 also.
Here are the results: After powering down and back on again, the diplay indicates that the backlight setting has reverted back to the 10-second setting - at least that's what the phone shows when going into the power settings. In actuality, though, control over the backlight appears to be disabled altogether. The backlight doesn't dim at all - the phone simply shuts off (power-saving mode) after however long that setting is set for.
You could, however, then go into the settings and change the backlight time to what you want. It saves it - until, of course, the phone is powered down and back up again. So I guess what I'm saying is that I'm back at square one.
Anyone have any other thoughts? Has anyone heard of a TiltBacklightFix cab created for Tilt 2 devices?

I recognize that this is an old thread, but I recently acquired a Tilt 2, and have this exact issue. I couldn't find a solution until a kind soul mentioned to me that some older devices (such as the Tilt) had the same problem. Then, I found this this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1736898&postcount=5
After applying the fix there, my backlight issue *seems* to be solved! Hopefully it stays that way . . .

Accelerometer- Possible Hardware fault?

I've not had this issue up until yesterday, the phone would joy auto rotate, and games such as temple run weren't playable due to the accelerometer not registering anything at all, I reset the phone and it worked fine.
now, the issue has come back, but Won't go, I've reset the phone, Booted in safe mode, performed a factory reset, everything. (the only difference factory reset made was that when I try to calibrate the G sensor it says 'calibration complete' instead of calibration aborted.)
However, still the bubbles do not move.
I've looked on the sensor debug app, it shows no data.
Now, what's strange is on the camera I have taken two identically pictures.
One I took in portrait, the other I took in landscape.
I went to gallery and the picture I took in portrait appears as a landscape picture, and the one I took in landscape appears as a portrait picture :s
Well, that shows the accelerometer is working right? (Even though it's backwards)
I'm really confused, I don't want to have to return my phone but if it's a hardware fault I have no choice.
By the way, I'm completely stock.

-bump-
When I calibrate the phone while moving it around, the calibration aborts.
But when I calibrate it as you should. on a flat surface it says calibration completed.
so therefore, the Accelerometer must be working in there.
Which makes me wonder if it's a hardware fault or an issue with the kernel or Rom? (Stock)

...

Mine had a similar problem in that it stopped auto rotating in anything, turned out to be a hardware fault as like you I tried every software test. Your best bit would to either do a factory resit on the phone (unless already done so) and it that does not fix it have you tired the htc function tester?
If yes to both it may be the case that you have to send it for repair.
My auto rotate was a hardware fault and they had to replace the main board and a lot of other silly components I have to clue as to what they are.
I hope this helps.

Same problem here. This issue actually concerns a lot of people.
No fix for the moment, check this thread for more info:

Screen Rotation problem.

I've had my s8+ from Verizon for a while and when ever I turn on screen rotation to auto, it doesn't rotate the screen or if it does it takes a long time to do so then it gets stuck in the orientation. I've tried doing a factory reset and I left auto rotation on and it worked a little bit better but over time it just got worse and went back to how it was before, is there a fix for this? Also when ever I use cardboard apps it tends to drift as if it's trying to center it's self even though it's already centered.

just noticed this today too, figure anything out yet?

It seems to work perfectly sometimes then others it's just terrible I'm not sure why.. I also noticed that in some positions it works better, it's odd though.

Strange edge lighting behaviour

So I have a really strange thing going on with edge lighting which is driving me crazy.
Whenever I play Elder Scrolls Blades the edge lighting appears but only in the bottom of the screen. As far as I been able to tell this only happens in this app though I can't be 100% sure.
Now what is strange other than it happens only in the bottom of the screen is that it keeps happening every few seconds, there is no notifications received and it happens, if I disable edge lighting it still happens, no matter to what effect I set the lighting it always happens in stock blue.
I can't possibly figure out what is this and I tried everything, any ideas would be appreciated.

Same thing here, in at least 2 games...
Thought it was related to spen, but it seems not...
Tried to disable Game Launcher but still got these random bottom screen notification pulse... And stock blue aswell. Got no clue atm

Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one experiencing this. I tried literally everything and nothing seems to fix it. What's also weird is that the lighting comes in irregular intervals, sometimes just going crazy and sometimes appearing much less.

I have just discovered this issue appears in all games so it's a bigger problem then I originally thought. If disabling the game launcher does nothing then it makes it even more strange and annoying.

Yeah, same here, happens on basically all the games.
Maybe related to game booster?
Let's try to compare our setup : are you using any notification enhancement app? (like aodNotify)
Are you using your spen while playing?
But yeah, this random glow line **** is driving me crazy too!

Currently I am using aodNotify though I tried uninstalling it and the problem persists, I also have goodlock installed and the edgeslighting+, same thing with and without it. I am not using the spen, but I have tried just taking it out while the game is running and leaving it out for 5 mins, no change. I have disabled and enabled the stock edge lighting as well and the problem is still there. Nothing seems to effect it. Its ridiculous

i tried on mobile legend adventure, no problem on it, perhaps a scaling issue?

Will try to tweak full screen mode.
Increasing dpi doesn't change the weird thing, neither switching from Samsung stock launcher to Nova...
Also I'm using gestures based navbar, but I also tried with or without tips display, standard navbar... Still occurring.
Did you go from a scratch Note 10+ or used SideSync to switch? (I was coming from a Note 8)

I don't think it has anything to do with scaling, I tried setting the game on full screen and automatic, both giving the same results.
I used Smartswitch from Note 9.
Later today the camera effect from aodnotify started appearing in the game aswell (landscape mode), along with the edge lighting.?
I uninstalled aodnotify afterwards, found out there is a aodnotify Manager plugin which stays after uninstalling the main app.
Uninstalled the plugin aswell, opened edgescreen from the system app and cleared cache.
It was showing the app was using RAM with high frequency.
I don't have the time to check now does this fix the problem but will let you know once I do.
The only other thing left to do if this doesn't work is to clear edge screen data.

Will try this aswell, and restore all the notifications and edge lightning settings...

What I wrote above didn't work so I disabled the option for edge screen to show on top of other apps, so far this seems to fix the problem.

Unfortunately I was wrong and nothing above fixes the problem. I also wiped the entire edge screen memory, no effect. This is the weirdest thing I ever encountered in my years of Samsung phones and it's extremely annoying that there is no fix.

Strange, I don't have any issue.
Did you try with and without locking the screen orientation to see if edge lightning follows settings as it should?
I personally only use auto orientation.

I also use auto rotation and it happens the same way in landscape and portrait, the most annoying thing is that it happens really much, like 2-3 times in 10 seconds, or sometimes doesn't happen for few minutes then starts going like crazy, and as I said before there is no notifications or anything.

Same here, auto rotate on, only occurring during games.
I don't even know if I can debug which process is running these random edge notifications, without dig into tons of log files...
And if not, I guess I'll try to factory reset and re-sync again..

Its incredible that a factory reset seems like only possible solution left but I hope maybe some future update will fix it since I hate doing factory reset. Please keep me posted if you discover anything new.

Hating doing it aswell but this is too damn annoying..
If no clue, I'll go for a restore without restoring system settings... Maybe some notifications behaviors have been messed up
I'll keep you in touch for sure

Tried to wipe cache partition, still no clues...
Did this also got triggered in portrait mode game?
So confusing...

Yes it happens in all games no matter of the screen orientation. I really have no more ideas aswell

Got some news, another post is talking about this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/help/strange-blue-bar-games-t3963939
Seems related to the new game booster feature "temp and cpu monitoring"
Will try to disable this for a specific game and see...

3 screen off issues

Hi everyone.
I have a note 10 + 256 go exynos from france.
SInce about last update one ui2.5, I have seen 3 issues which I think are related.
- AOD tap to show not working
- Double tap to wake not working
- When I remove the phone from the ear during a call the screen does not light up anymore whereas before yes.
I almost returned the phone in warranty a short time ago because my screen only registered two fingers,a few days later I received an update that fixed this problem.
For these 3 problems I tried 3 things :
- Update touch screen firmware via *#2663#
- Factory reset
- Reflash the stock firmware with odin and frija
I also have another problem a few times a day the screen freezes, I have to lock unlock the screen and it works again..
Do you think it's a software problem or a hardware problem (damaged screen, damaged sensor or other)?
Please help me thanks.

Lol, firmware and/or software; maybe a settings or permissions issue as there are many. Hardware rarely fails unless it receives severe abuse. You can perform some of the builtin hardware tests just to be sure.
Try using the factory load if the apk in question has been updated or wait for an update that fixes it. Be sure to check the Gallaxy Store for updates.
I'm still running on Pie because it's fast, stable and functional. No scope storage that I don't want or need.
Once you get an OS optimized and running well there's little advantage to upgrading many times unless the new OS is really worth it.
Many times it's not... I'm still running W7 too.
You invariably end up with new issues, hunting down all new glitches and worse, since it's new there not many online solutions.

Thank you for your help.
I mentioned the 3 main methods of fix but of course before that I had already tried the basic things like clearing the system cache, checking the permissions of the AOD application as well as deleting this data.
I also checked the sensors with * # 0 * # but I did not find anything problematic
I even tried to flash the november update with odin and frija and I got a soft brick, so I don't even dare to try a downgrade firmware, I don't have the knowledge, I read that I had to keep the same bootloader and I get lost in the different firmwares

Those are all system apks that run in the background.
Is Android System configured correctly?
Try clearing it's data and of course the system cache.
A hard reboot as well.
It's interesting you lost the proximity sensor.

Thanks.
Yes I have cleared the system cache several times, android system too. I even did a hard reset. I think more and more of a hardware problem, because all these functions are linked to the fact that the screen does not wake up by touch when it is turned off.
the proximity sensor still works at least partially because it flashes well during a call and turns off the screen when I put the phone to my ear, but no wake up when I take it off my ear.

If it happened after the firmware update... it's in the firmware or software.
Bad firmware can sometimes blowout a cpu but doubt it damaged the hardware controlling just that one feature of the touchscreen.
If that was the case the touchscreen wouldn't work at all.
Maybe the firmware is ok but got corrupted during the download or flash.
A defective memory module could corrupt the load but again that rarely happens.
So back to the firmware/software/settings...
Maybe someone here has seen this before or has a better idea to sort it out.

Honestly I'm not sure it's exactly after an update.
It's just that it's not functions that I use very often. I don't call a lot of people and most of the time I use very little Aod and double tap2wake.
Usually when I grab my phone to use it I unlock it directly with the fingerprint.
when i mentioned the problem where my screen only recognized two fingers at this time , aod and dt2w were already weird as it only worked on the top half of the screen not on the bottom half ..the update solved the problem for the 2 fingers but not for the fact that aod and dt2w only works on the upper half.
Now for some time aod and dt2w no longer work at all no matter where I touch the screen.
I want to clarify that I use a screen protector with loca glue but that it is from the beginning and that it has never been a problem before.
I know this is a weird problem thanks for your patience

I never use a lock screen or the fingerprint sensor.
There may be a conflict because that... disable and see if that helps.
The screen could goof up the proximity sensor. Probably not but next time it's off, check it out.
No worries; these devices fascinate me.
Hope you sort it out; eventually one usually does

2x post

when i did the factory reset it was the first thing i tried before even resetting a password but it didn't work anyway.
For the screen protector I use the same brand from the beginning and it has never caused me a problem of this kind, but maybe this one is defective ..
I would have to remove it to try but I have lazy to change it again because I had to change it twice in a little while.
Hoping that by dint of applying the loca glue I haven't damaged anything.
Thanks

Nah the glue didn't hurt anything; it's well sealed.
The tap on AOD I never use but I double tap to turn the screen on/off. If I lost that I be witch hunting.
Try increasing the touch sensitivity if you haven't already... and make sure no other apps have accessibility permissions that could conflict. Same for device administrator permissions.
Try it in safe mode as well.
