I've upgraded my HD to 4.1.2 recently and have noticed the last couple of days (at least once a day) that the phone is having a dim screen from waking from sleeping. :crying:
Can anyone confirm this is hardware related or is it a bug? I have disabled smart actions, and not using auto brightness setting.
I have found that if I go into the auto brightness setting and hit the check box, then uncheck the screen comes back to the correct brightness level I had it on.
I just hope its not the phone. It took me 2 phones to get one that had a perfectly aligned chassis.
Seems a cache wipe and reset using the stock recovery has fixed the issue. Not sure why it was doing it?
Nope, it's not your phone. My HD is doing the same thing. I wake up in the morning and my phone is at its lowest brightness setting. I'll see if anything works for me.
Haha it took me two HDs as well to get the perfect one. The first one I got was a lemon.

Interesting. Mine has not done it since the wipe and reset.
I thought another issue might have been the light sensor and it being sensitive to dirt and smudges so I always keep the sensor glass clean. When it happened last time (has only done it twice) the sensor glass was very dirty.
I'll try the wipe and see how that goes... Thanks for the help. :thumbup:

Install 'lux auto brightness' if you need a fix

A simple yes or no doesn't hurt anyone :-/

so after a week of wondering why my phone was off when i took it out pocket, i figured it out. for some reason if i push on the middle of the lcd and the middle of the back, the phone turns off! with little to moderate force. tried it on my friends inspire and it did the same thing. now i know not every inspire has this problem but test yours to find out.
no problem here
How hard are you pushing on it? I'm too afraid to apply force to it but I've never had any issues with mine turning off.

with very little to average force. its only in the center on mine... just wanted to let you guys know.
I just tried it pushing kind of hard. No problem here and it was right dead in the center although I did just get a new inspire through warrenty yesterday. So maybe its just the first couple of them
I would guess that it's a loose battery connection. Pushing it as you do is likely flexing it enough to break contact. Mine doesn't do this.
No problem here either.
It might be loosing battery connection just like Gene said.
Mine doesn't do this. Did u check how secure the battery cover was?

Well I haven't had my phone for more that 30 days so I'm going to take it into at&t and have them replace it.

Also I don't even think the phone turns off! When I push it the screen goes off but I cant turn it back on via the power button. I have to take out the battery and put it back in. Also when it turns off, I tried connecting my charger. The orange light came on but the screen never does.

has anyone noticed the little dots on the screen (under the glass) in the sun? I came from the galaxy S and i know it's AMOLED so i'm just wondering if that is normal on LCD?
It has to be out in the sunlight with the screen off to see them..

My HOX got wet in rain and I have dried it in a rice bag for couple days. Everything working again and the only issue is the Back Softkey LED Light. It won't turn on at all. The other two softkey buttons are working fine. Any Ideas? I'm thinking of turning all three off if there is a script or something which sets it permanently.
Please through some ideas or fixes.
Thanks
There are three separate light emitting diodes under those buttons. I'm sure one of them went caput. As long as your digitizer still works you should he fine.

There's a dimmin app here in the apps forum.
I use it myself, can dim or turn off lights, I use the dimming feature for late reading.
About the light, does sound pooched sorry to say, who knows may start up again after killing power to it a while.

My recent button's light went out less than a month after getting it (day it was released). Have no idea what caused it but it looks weird with only two of three buttons lighting up. Up until recently, it would occasionally start working but that hasn't happened for awhile now. I could've sent it in under the 30 day warranty but I had already spent so much effort rooting / etc that it wasn't that big a deal to me. I've recently started using the onscreen nav buttons instead. Didn't like them at first but after using them a while and turning the others off, I just don't understand why htc decided to have them. Wish I could completely hide them (not just turn them off).

I will try to find something which will turn off all three button lights. I hope the broken one comes back sometime once the phone is completely dry.
Here's that app I mentioned.

Awesome!! I tried and this app is working great!! They claim that the setting works with reboots but it didn't in my case.
Yeah, I only really reboot to flash to my alternate daily driver ROM.
I have seen where you need to re-enable it, but no biggie really.

So every once in awhile my phone will start scrolling in-app. At first I thought maybe it was just oils on the skin, like some hp laptop touchpads, but after a while I disproved this. Now the real weird thing is that if I shut the screen off the come back to the app it stops. I'm thinking maybe something to do with sudden changes in ambient temps. Any thoughts?

I have the same issue, was really bad this weekend when it was near 0 and I was outside. same thing where I shut screen off and back on and then it seems OK.

Same here has done it since day one not very often but out of the blue screen acts up. I have watched it move icons on homescreens around before. But turning screen off then on stops it

Sometimes happens on mine, but only when using a high amperage charger or there are water drops on the screen (from rain).

Add me to the list. Mine has done it a handfull of times but turning the screen off then right back on has always corrected it.
Very odd.

Happens to me a lot when it's freezing outside. On/Off cycle fixes it
So my question now being, if we can assume its temp related, could this be solved by a patch to adjust based on ambient temps, or is that in the proprietary driver for the touch panel?

I notice it happens to me if I get the screen wet at all.
As stated, turning the screen off/on fixes it.
Hi,
My Motorola droid 2 global is black screen on my droid. I can receive calls, I get email as I hear the notifications, the screen reacts to touch as it vibrated when I drag across the area where the unlock slider is.
When i was playing with it, I noticed that under very bright light I can see the screen. I managed to take few screenshot, which automatically loaded to my picasa, and when when I opened them,. the screen, with all the icons was visible.
Has my LCD display gone bad? But, i was buy lcd to replace them,
I've tried to solve the issue with a battery pull, reser, restart etc but nothing seems to work. I also played with the brightness setting under a very bright light and nothing happened.
Please help
Seems like a hard ware issue. Did you rsd to complete stock? I would try that as the last thing if not already done and if it's still black it's hardware related.

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
