Failure screen brightness at different roms - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I have one year the nexus S, and during that time I spent three or four times the following.
I turn off the phone and when you turn it lose screen brightness by 50%. And I have to leave at 100% brightness and do not know how to recover the brightness.
It has happened in different roms.
How could restore the default value without being forced to change rom every time I pass?

Which ROMs are they? Which kernel?

It has happened with these roms.
FASTEST ICS 4.04 03/03/12 Pixel Rom 1.60
Codename android (varias versiones)
CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ICS v.9 HYBRID+Matr1x 17.5
I have proven different kernels, which come in the roms and Matrix.

what about stock roms ? are you on auto brightness ? auto brightness always behaves strangely ...

I stoped using auto brightnes. Too annoying. . Stock user
Sent from my Nexus S

Once I had to re install the original rom ice cream to see if the brightness again. I got back the shine, but it happens again with other roms. Sometimes installing rom cuaquier recovers brightness.
The funny thing is, sometimes when I install the new rom, the first time does not recover the brightness, and i install the rom and it works.
Brightness What strikes me in both manual and automatic mode.
I try restarting many times to see if I recover the brightness and does not work. Yesterday remove the battery, and recovered the brightness.
It is very rare ...

[Q] Reboot on auto screen off

Hi,
I have an issue that when I set a "Screen timeout" (Settings/Display) to turn off the screen after an idle time, the phone reboots always when this waiting period expires.
I'm using Pyramid3D, tried all versions up to 7.9.0XE, but the issue still exists.
Thanks for your help, and sorry for my bad(?) English
Same Here!!!
After screen idle ime out - reboot every time!!!
If i go manually lock, then wake, after idle time all ok, but if it is unlocked after idle time out reboot.
My device is Sensation
[curent ROM] Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.2 XE
kernel radio and everything from ARHD 3.6.2
Here is history of flashing:
stock device for Indian market
rooted by revolutionary
flashed leaked Indian device ruu with s-off
rooted stock rom
flashed ARHD 3.6.1
flashed crt screen on/off
flashed custom lock ring made by me
////////since here ni problem at all/////
flashed ARHD 3.6.2
flashed custom lock ring made by me
flashed crt screen on/off
flashed custom lock ring made by me
///// problem noticed after using it at this point
I cant determine or say if it where OK after 3.6.2 flashed because after first reboot i flashed CRT screen of/on and custom lock ring.
On other topics, similar problem with different device, possible blamed undervoltage.
I hope some1 can help us.
cheer to all
Same Here!!
I tried Synergy's Rom,Sense-o-Maniac_Sense3.5_Beats_v1.4.1 and Insertcoin 3.3.5 the same thing kept happening but it stop once I switch back to stock. I thought I was the only one.
Same here. But it only happens when the phone is plugged in for charging/disk drive. after the set idle time expired, there comes the reboot thing.....
Running ARHD 3.6.4 on Bricked v1.5 kernel
After using this set up for a few days I think it would be fun flashing the crt screen on/off and camera mod(not sure what this mods for : any idea?)
Then the auto screen off reboot arrives...
So far what I did is wipe cache and davlik cache on CWM reinstall my previous backup(w/out the crt and cam mods) then reflashed the crt screen on/off..
So far so good.. but I didnt reflashed the camera mod since I dont know what it does LOL
Hope this helps
AHA! found the real culprit. Its the crt mod
Charging or not my Sensation reboots on screen off IF my Brightness is on 0% since Im using power control tools(Brightness triple). But any % > than 0 on the brightness level it all good. Kinda weird
This may be correlated to undervolting. Im not sure though, but I notice that everytime your screen will turn off the screen will dim first then there goes the crt animation IMHO
I assume if your brighness level is set to zero and the crt animation will initiate it cannot dim further thus will result to reboot(Its not a complete reboot though more like hotboot which reload the GUI only)
Just restore my previous backup and I didnt flashed the crt mod.. currently looking for newer version or newly developed one for ARHD.
c-pain, that is exactly my problem. I have it at 0% brightness and when the timer is up, it reboots the GUI. I was freaking out thinking my phone was busted. Now I have it at 25% and all is fine. Crossing my fingers that this solves my problem. I have the CRT mod and it didn't matter if I had it turned on or off (I'm using the King Cobra 1.6 ROM). Until I read your post to turn up the brightness nothing I tried worked. Thanks so much.
Very interesting c-pain, but how can i correct it without sstop using CRT animations.
Because i want to use CRT animations and stop to reboot randomly.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In my case I still got the CRT animation flashed/installed. Just avoid setting the brightness to zero, as it will cause the reboot on screen off.
I have my brightness level at 5% or 10% at night, instead of zero percent.
Im still searching if there's an update or something for arhd crt animation though
I will try different ROM, because i have a lot of drain battery problems and i have this problem also.
Perhaps, I will cook my own ROM o have just what I want, and stop to flash fews zip.
hey guys, how are you?
i am looking for the CRT animation settings and cannot find it (CRT was inserted in the ROM i am currently using - Er3bus XL). so i was wondering if there actually is a settings menu for the CRT or not. if not, where do i go to set brightness for when the screen dims? i know its a pretty noobish question, but i checked in the brightness menu in settings and cant find screen dim settings

Auto Brightness issue on Custom Rom

Hi im having an issue with auto brightness. I was on stock ics and recently started getting into roms however im having an issue with the auto brighness that i was not experiencing on stock.
Seems the brightness level keeps changing on its own way to often for no reason. Its really annoying and ive had this issue with both cm9 and apex.
Any fix?
In some Roms you can change the sensability of your lightsensor in the settings. Maybe it s a bit too sensitive

[Q] Remove screen dim just before timeout/lock? (voodoo colour issue)

I've looked at past threads, but found no resolution to this.
I'm running voodoo colour with deep black settings and everything looks great, except right before the screen times out it will dim to its lowest setting and force the amoled panel to turn a sickly yellow/green hue.
I would like to disable the dim aspect and just let the screen time out by shutting off completely. Is there anyway to do this? I'm running the latest version of Pixel Rom with Air Kernel 4.2. I don't have auto-brightness enabled.
i am having the same issu i dont have to yellow tint in low light
but still i whould like to disable the dim it is disturbing my daily use of the device
i too dont see any point for this time out before the screen turns of
and i cant understand why when plying a game i need to touch the screen every 25 sec to get rid of the dim
thanks
I remember seeing something about auto-brightness light sensor tweaking back when I was using NV rom last year but I don't know if that would apply or not.
Does anyone know if the custom apps on the market avoid this?
edit: Tried Tasker for a full screen-off solution, and a bunch of other apps. Wasn't able to get the results I wanted :I
I have a Samsung Captivate and I am running a kernel with voodoo color support with this same issue.
The first post of this thread shows a possible solution - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002090

SuperPAD/Flytouch 2 Brightness Control Problem

I started SuperPAD (deb-2.1v#3245) one day to find a "black" screen. Bricked??
Figured I would re-flash firmware 3245 and then install the Stragulus Android 2.2 update. Didn't take the first time, so I started all over by re-installing Android 2.1-v3245. Install was good, but now (beginning with the initial boot process) my screen flashes on and off continually. Using WindHex and IUW to re-install just about all the various Firmware’s available; nothing would keep the screen from flashing on and off, on and off, etc.
For some reason, I decided to change the "Brightness" level and "eureka"; when the brightness was reduced the flashing screen intervals increased and at a little less than half the brightness range the flashing stopped completely!!
Question is, "software" or "hardware" problem?
Comments towards a fix would be greatly appreciated.
