I have noticed an issue with my third Charge. Watching a movie or you tube and the LCD just dims a little. Really annoying. Anyone else?
Settings, display settings, power saving mode. See if that fixes it.

Yep, did that and mix of auto-brightness and manual brightness settings. Nada.
What ROM and video player are you using?
Are you covering the light sensor with your hand or something

The stock video player has its own brightness setting. Perhaps the other apps are linked to that setting?

No this morning opened twitter put phone down. Then the screen starts getting brighter after it has already been on for a while. Right now it dimmer than it should be. I do no think this is the brightness as it appears and I a new owner of this phone that the back light is not working correctly.
The light sensor isn't instant. I've noticed it getting brighter/dimmer at times but I think that's just it trying to adjust. You tried turning auto-brightness off?
I often am outside I am thinking the light sensor maybe the issue. Thanks.

I've seen people trying to disable the bottom button backlight, but nothing about enabling it. I just got my Charge today in the mail. Powered up, no button backlight. Connected USB, no button backlight. Under what conditions are those buttons supposed to light up?
Try putting your finger over the proximity sensor. My light only turns on when it's dark.

Why don't you like about that? it's great for saving battery

The colors on the screen are gorgeous and bright, but black text on a white or gray background is actually pretty dim, much dimmer than even my Inspire. Is this just a limitation of the ameoled screen, or do I have a bad phone? Is there any fix if it's typical? Pretty much a deal breaker for me if I can't fix this... Thanks for any help!
Black text on a white background is as plain as night and day for me. Id say check out the store demo to compare. If the demo is better than yours, swap out.

Good call, I'll do that. Out of curiousity, what was your last phone, and have you compared black on white with it? Thanks!
There is a setting under display that says 'anaylize images and adjust screen brightness' to save battery. This is checked by default and was not on the og s2. This is also separate from the auto adjust brightness to ambient light. I found that when i unclicked this, all my screen concerns went away.

Thanks! That was driving me crazy. It was very prevalent in the stock email app. I can't believe I overlooked that stupid box...lol.
Where is this setting I don't see it in display. The white and black drives me crazy with this phone.

Settings>Display>Auto adjust screen power. Uncheck that box.
It will put a little more drain on your battery, but it's more than worth it, and hardly noticeable to me.
Thanks.. Still seems like the colors are off compared to the Epic.

For those of you who want to fix the colors on the Skyrocket, I posted the solution here:

OK guess in having my first problems? Today my capacitate buttons at the bottom of the phone have just started going out on there own. Literally while I'm typing this they have come on and went out like 5 times now. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this? Weird cause up until now I have had zero problems with my phone. Maybe a sensor having glitches?
Are you typing in landscape mode?
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
No portrait ...right now they won't even come on? Like they all of a sudden have a mind of their own LoL
have you tried covering the light sensor by the speaker grill? The button lights are brightness sensitive, so by covering the sensor, they should turn on. Otherwise, I would guess there might be a problem with your auto brightness or the sensor itself. When I first got this coming from a captivate, I was confused since the captivate turned them on when you touched the screen.

Yep tried the light sensor and a battery pull as well. Now they won't even light up? Not like its a killer dealbreaker for me or nothing. Just weird they all of a sudden went crazy?
Now that you mention it I've been experiencing the same issue with my atrix2. Its like the buttons have a mind if their own.

Yeah, mine come on when they want to. Right now they are off.

All moto phones do this. The software for the light sensor is just REALLY bad, so there is really nothing we can do about it, unless a dev wants to help us out.
Well it really just started doing this today. But after playing aroung with the display settings I'm thinking the light sensor is either going bad or is bad. When I set it to auto brightness it gets dimmer then the lowest manual setting in a completely dark room. Oh well, like I said not a killer deal for me. Just never had one fail quickly like this.
try turning off auto brightness and see if they still do it

I never use auto brightness its always set at about the lowest brightness on manual. I've played with it back and forth and think the light sensor is just acting up.
Wow, I hope that's not a widespread issue.
My A2 doesn't have that problem. It's quite new but I think it's my 4th now (I've lost count of how many times I've seen a dead pixel on that otherwise gorgeous screen) and I do remember the capacitive buttons' backlight doing weird things on my other Atrix(es). I can't remember if that was on my OG Atrix, or if it was on one of my A2s in a car and the lighting kept changing, or if it was an actual problem.
But anyways, the light sensor works pretty well for me on my current A2. I usually have it on auto-brightness.
Mine work perfectly on manual or auto.
Hi guys!
Iam having a problem with notification led diode. It doesnt work. I havent seen the light yet.
I just tried Light Flow app but it also wasnt able to light the led up.
So i assume that my phone is broken in that part and the diode just doesnt work on my Nexus 5.
Does anyone have some the same problem?

I installed Light Flow. Took a few minutes before I got any lights.
There's a test mode in light flow. Might be worth trying that too.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk 4
Test mode in LF didn't work for me. I was going to uninstall but then I noticed the battery charging light came on. Now all of the programmed lights in LF work for me. I have not retried the test light feature.
light flow might have just glitched up the led for a bit. If it stops working again, try clearing app data, or reinstall, or uninstall light flow altogether. It has been known to have some issues.
In light flow you have to turn off the screen after turning on test mode, if you haven't tried that already.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Yes, the screen MUST be off for the notification light to illuminate. In addition, at least for Light Flow, it can take several seconds for the notifications to light up, even when performing a test.
Same problem here and it's going to back for a refund. It was actually a replacement unit for the first one which had speaker issues.
I tried everything and never saw the light come on once while the first unit worked fine with the same settings.
try this
Hey guys I was having this same problem but I downloaded this app called notification light widget by Motorola and added it to my home screen activated it and my notification light has been working since just tuck the widget away on a side screen . its a good fix for now

Phone just arrived!!! woooooooooooooooooooooot
quick question... havent turned it on yet, just have it plugged to the wall and charging. but I noticd the LED light isnt on at all... no colour... im used to all my phones having an LED light on when charging.
when I tap the power button, it shows me that it's charging (a white battery that fills up animation)...
is this normal? dont care much, but would just be good to know for the future...
thanks! tried looking, but dont see an answer

It's normal. Apps such as lightflow can enable a charging light but there is no stock charging notification light.
Why didn't you just turn it on and use it? No need to charge the battery prior to usage.

You should be able to as there is a separate setting for"charged". Just set charging to red and charged to green.

Yes it can. This is exactly what I do with Light Flow on my N5. There are three different settings for "low battery", "charging" and "fully charged". So I have it blink red rapidly when battery hits 15%. Then, I have it solid yellow when charging. Finally, when it hits 100%, it changes from solid yellow to solid green to let me know when it's done charging. It works flawlessly. Obviously, you can set whatever color you want for these different settings.

Lightflow is pretty awesome. You can have different LED colors for different notifications from various apps and control their pulse rate. Paid version lets you customize for 3rd party apps.

So has anyone done any research to figure what the battery drain, if any at all, is caused by the LED. Curiosity got the best of me and i had to ask.
I don't think the LED causes any noticeable battery drain. They use extremely low amounts of electricity.
