I have an unrooted Skyrocket. The backlighting keeps changing levels about every 15-30 seconds, even when the ambient lighting hasn't changed. I have the auto-brightness set, but I have turned off the content-adaptive lighting.
What's strange is that it was working fine at first. I registered the device under one gmail id, then after a couple of days, I decided to register the device under a different one. It wasn't until after I reset the phone to factory settings that the backlight problem started.
Any ideas?

Hey guys
I have this weird problem with the LCD backlight since I upgraded to the new AT&T stock ROM (5.11.502.2 WWE)
Usually the backlight is supposed to dim down after 30sec and then turn off after the specified time set in (start/settings/system/power/advanced). Now suddenly this stopped working correctly. The screen just turns off completely after 30sec, no matter what I change the control panel settings to.
I found the registry key (HKCU/ControlPanel/Power/Display) which is set to 30 seconds so yeah, I can increase that to make the screen turn off later, but I want the dimming back!
Where is it defined *WHAT* is supposed to happen after these 30 seconds?
No one?
Am I the only one here with a stock rom? LOL
My Fuze light sensor doesn't seem to be working correctly either. It's not the same problem, though. And I'm not really sure if mine stopped working right after the new ROM or after I installed Diamond Tweak and Advanced Config.
There used to be a noticeable change in the backlighting when moving between different ambient lighting conditions but now I don't notice anything. If I cup my hand over the light sensor, the backlight stays the same whereas before it would dim a little and then brighten up again after removing my hand.
Can anyone tell me what the default registry settings for it are so I can see if either DT or AC did something?
Thanks.
I have the screen set to always on (no time out) when I have it in the car, it stays on fine while listening to music or if it just sitting there doing nothing, but no matter if I get a call or I make a call -- the screen will always turn off after a couple seconds even though the screen is set to always stay on, also as soon as the call ends -- the phone automatically locks and I have to log in / unlock it every time. I know on the old Froyo ROMs it would stay on if I had it set to always on -- didn't matter a call or not, it stayed on like it is supposed to do and it did not automatically lock either. I am on the Weapon 3.0ROM and I am using the same widgetsoid app as the the switching mechanism for the "always on" screen setting in a widget on one of the home screens. I have checked the widgetsoid settings and there is no definition between call settings and normal data for the screen time out. Under settings in the main menu, there is no toggle to enable/disable the proximity sensor either, but since the phone face has nothing close to it when it is mounted in the car (like it would be if you had it up to your ear), I don't think that this is the proper setting to manipulate. I really believe that this is a timing setting, and I am wondering if it is separate setting that can be changed or linked to the normal screen time out settings.
Is there a way to stop the screen from timing out on the Weapon3.0 Rom during phone calls and then automatically locking the phone when the call ends? its getting a bit annoying and any help would be appreciated.
Am I really the only one experienceing this?
I have tried fully wiping the G2x and started from scratch reloading the ROM, apps, settings, etc. and with the Weapon 3.0ROM when the phone is plugged in charging it still automatically shuts the screen off a few seconds into a call, and then locks the phone even though I have the LCD screen setting set to always be on.
For the most part I really like the Weapon ROM, but this auto screen off and locking when I have the G2x plugged in, in the car is annoying as ****, any help to remedy this problem would be appreciated.

I think that is an unwanted "feature" of the 2.3.3 Gingerbread rom. I am not sure of anyway around it without changing to a rom that is not 2.3.3 based.
About a week ago my phone started randomly changing brightness (auto on or off), haptic feedvack, WiFi, data, and screen timeout. I have no idea what is causing this. it happens multiple times a day and normally all happens at once. I have deleted all recent apps but that didn't work. Please help!!
For some reason my Gear S2 has the brightness locked at the lowest setting, I have tried powering down and even resetting the device. I can move the brightness slider however there is no change to the brightness of the screen. The only time my brightness changes is due to the outdoor mode in direct sunlight. Please help me this problem has not gone away since a few days after getting the device (Christmas), and it's really starting to bug me.
Never heard of this problem. Exchange it.
Did you try to hard reset of your device?
Does anyone else have issue with the continuously flashing green light at the back of the watch? It even happens when I'm not wearing my watch. My "stress" measuring is set to "manual only" and my HR measuring is set to either "Manual only" or "every 10 minutes while still". I've tried both settings and experience the same issue. The only way to make it stop is reboot the watch but then a couple of hours afterwards it starts again. When I reboot the watch I do notice the green light being on sometime when I take the watch off but as soon as I set it upside down the light goes off. It also activates again when I pick it up. It feels more like it's trying to figure out whether I'm wearing the watch or not. This green light is still, doesn't blink. That's not what I'm complaining about. The issue I'm having is a constantly flashing green light. It doesn't seem like it should be doing that and the fact that it's not doing it for a while after I reboot the watch seems to support that thought.
I have the latest software updates and tried resetting the watch also with no luck.
I just took a manual HR reading and that stopped the blinking, for now. As a test, I went into the HR settings and set it to measure contiously and noticed that the light would blink continuously however when I set the watch face down on the table the blinking would stop and only continue when the watch was back on my arm. So even with the setting set on continuous it's technically not supposed to be blinking when you're not wearing the watch. Regardless, my setting was always either "measure every 10min when still" or "manual only". It's interesting that taking the manual reading for now has made it stop blinking.
I've noticed that same behavior, so I keep it set to manual for now...
Mine does it even when it's on manual. It seemed to be working fine earlier but then I set it down to charge and when I picked it up later it was flashing like crazy again. I have all the sensors set to manual and I also don't have a watch face that displays any of the sensor information. I'm actually returning it today because it just does not seem like normal behavior. But like I said, when it appeared to be working fine again I did a little test and set it to measure HR continuously at which point the light was flashing like crazy while the watch was on my wrist however as soon as I took it off and set it face down on the table it would stop flashing. And I would assume that's the way it's supposed to be working as opposed to flashing non-stop even when you're not wearing it.
Wow, that sounds like a buggy sensor! Agree it should not be flashing nonstop when not wearing it....
I've had the replacement for 2 days now and don't notice the issue with this new watch. Same settings as before.
