[q][i9020] Screen Brightness not high enough - anymore.

Good Morning.
I happened to notice that my display suddenly lost some brightness while reading an ebook yesterday. On max values it isnt bright enough to be readable outdoors anymore (Auto brightness off)
I tried a complete wipe and 3 different roms, but it stays the same. Does anyone of you fine folks got some advice on how to lock down the problem and solve it?
Thanks in advance

have you tried removing the battery?? because i had that issue when i upgraded the first time to 4.0.4 from 4.0.3 and i downgraded to gingerbread but that didn't resolve the problem til i remove the battery. and magically the problem disappeared.. now i am on stock 4.0.4 via OTA and my phone is perfect..
hope that you'll fix it

oh i haven't seen that.. u r right but i think that we didn't have to change the rom.. we have just to pull out the battery.. that was a real waste of time especially when we have to backup and restore data

Brick after reboot ?

hello there,
yesterday i've flashed an JB rom, it works very well, i install all my stuff and sygic from the play store .
when i try to download additional data for sygic, the image on the screen doubled, like a screenshot on the active screen with 2 or 3 pixels on the right .
so i pull out battery and pull it in and try to reboot, but nothing, not even a light on screen or on softkeys.
and i noticed if i leave the battery in it, the phone become warm in 5 minutes, like it was running .
does anyone have a clue to save this one ?
sorry for my english, i'm french

Damn... this is like 5 bricks within a week that I know of. Nexus S are dropping like flies.

Try some of the following:
-Leave the battery out for a few hours, press the power button a few times before putting the battery back in and then try to boot
-Adam's Unbrickable (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397393)

first, thanks for your reply guys,
so, does you mean battery is dead or something ?
and i try unbrickable software, but device is not detected, so i ask its developers to have information about the hardware mod, still no answer .
or maybe i do something bad trying to use this tool ?

This sounds a lot like what happened to my NS earlier this week. Here's a link to my post about what happened: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844034
I originally thought it was a battery problem, but my wife and I both have a NS so I tried her battery in mine and it still didn't work. Also, my battery worked fine in hers.

yeah, i've seen your post early today while searching solutions.
does anyone know how to use the unbrickable tool ? in his post, the dev says something and in the software says something else !?!

i finally apply the hardware mod on my own, use the unbrickable tool , but now, i have search and home key lighted so what to do next on linux ?

[Q] Help! Crashes and all apk stop working

Hello devs...
Month ago i decided to root my Sensation and installed Elegancia ROM with Sebastian Kernel..
Before that i had Battery issues..that made the phone go out of power for like 2 hours in screen mode..
1. Now.. when i start using the phone.. at home there is no problem.. but when i go outside... whenever i start using the phone after a minute.. when the battery level shows like 57% the phone crashes and when i turn it on again it shows 2% battery and shuts down again.. little later when i try to turn on again.. it shows like 12-15-20%.. (Today it fell down from 90% to 2 then after restart it went to 50)...
Does any1 have any idea how am i supposed to fix those crashes.. or what's the reason to have them.. because i can't rely on my phone when i go outside.. 1 minute of brousing causes crash and battery lvl down with more than 50%..
And the most curious thing is that when i come back at home and connect the Phone to the charger and turn it on.. it shows 50% battery
2. And the second issue is that with Faux Kernel and Pacha after the phone crash and i arrive home.. when i turn it on every single application says "Unfortunately XXXXX has stopped working".. And i'm forced to reinstall the ROM because deleting all the data and reinstalling the applications is not working.
I will be really grateful if someone can be that good to help me.. PLEASE :crying:

Have you tired a new battery? Seems like your having issues with your battery ? Also after putting in a new battery if your still having issues you might consider another rom? I'd do some experiment and see if a new rom helps. Also I'd try a new battery. Best wishes

hi,
1)if you tried different kernels and you had the same issues
then maybe your battery is dying or it is not housing properly
check it.you can also try a different rom
2)try to do wipe dalvik + cache from recovery or
do a full wipe and reflash the rom
best wishes

Thank you for the advice.. i already ordered Anker.. but still wondering how to fix the problem with the stopping of all applications.. they just don't work.. and i have to reflash the rom to fix it..
The problem with those crashes is with all 3 Kernels i've tried.. Sebastian, Faux and Pacha.. now trying Bricked.. But.. only Sebastian doesnt give me the error with the applications.

HELP! Battery indicator automatically increasing without charging..

My lil' bro's GT2-P3110's battery indicator/notification became weird, it was started last night. The battery indicator/notification was increasing automatically without charging it. I've tried rebooting the device but it keeps on increasing. After rebooting, the battery indicator was 40% but after a few seconds it will increase until it reached 100%. It was frustrating because it didn't know what is the real battery status of the device. =(
I hope anyone can I help me out. Thanks in advance!

Are you on a stock rom ?

Thank you for your suggestion..I've already done factory-reset for the tab, but the problem is still there. Battery indicator still keeps on increasing. =(

standard thing to try whenever battery does weird stuff is use it till it shuts off, then WHILE TURNED OFF recharge completely and leave there for like 30 minutes after fully charging to make sure its "topped off" then see if the problem persists.

try hard reset or anther rom

Is this a rooted device? If not, have you contacted Samsung for support?

Being unrooted has that one major advantage. Calling for support could lead to a manufacturer warranty replacement if they can't figure it out. Whatever you do/figure out, plz report back. Good luck!

My friend is having the same issue with his tab 2. He gave it to the service station. They simply flash the latest firmware and gave it back. The problem still remains the same. Even doing a factory hard reset hasn't solve the issue.

I've had the same issue in the past. I cant remember how I fixed it but I think you should get rid of the issue by deledit the battery atats from recovery, whiping dalvik and fixing permission. This of course would require a rooted tab. If you are not rooted the contact samsung.

This was happened to my phone too.
You're USB Port is damaged. You need the replace it.

same Issue occured today
i also faced the same issue today... tried to analyze it... here are my observations
1) the battery was fine cuz i played dead trigger,wild blood and dead space for 1 hr and then played 1080 p videos for 45 min to see if battery has given up..
that wasnt the case
2) Factory reset/ data in stock unrooted rom dosent help...
3)After the battery reaches 100% and if u restart the tab. it will start from 3 or 4 % and increase again... basically i think battery level goes above 100% ( yeah i know it sounds weird) and on restarting it will see 104% as 4%...
4) usb OTG was working fine so i can't find the fault the usb.. and the tab was registering charging ( the green line in battery stats) on plugging in the charger....
So i concluded that maybe there is something wrong with software rom/kernel in the system...
Anyhow I gave it to the service center... hope this gets solved soon :fingers-crossed:
Update : The motherboard had to be replaced... Seems the charging port damage cause fits in... So anyone facing this problem has high chances the charging port is damaged even if it might work fine

You need to start with removing the new SystemUI. This is a buggy application and this is perhaps a cause of your scree issue.. And because of some FC i would recommend a factory reset.

thanks, i did a factory reset, so lets hope it dont happen again. has to be the firmware/software, i called samsung and they did test's and all the hardware is ok.
