has any one else had problems with screen brightness? I mean some times I slide it to max and the brightness just seems to stay as half or a 60%
usually it gets to 100% but while using it, (mostly happens when gaming) i do notice the brightness is way to low to be max. so i check the slider its set on max, i try to lower it to and higher it but after 60% it doesnt seem to get any brighter...
also volume issues, doesnt matter on what ringer level I am I always seem to notice my phone by it self some times just resets it self to level 1 of volume (first step)
some times I make it silent and sleep, next thing you know its waking me up from messages as it turned it self to step 1 of volume by it self...
even if it was on any other volume step it seems to get back to 1 step after random amount of time each time...
im on .119 oreo, what can I do? is there any one facing this issue?

The sleep option in the power menu, is it any different than taping the power button to to turn of the screen? (or letting the screen time out)
Sleep mode on a computer is a true low power state, does Android support this? I know that when the screen is off on my N1 that the OS is still running, because it has to for proper function as a phone. Now the Gtab does not need to keep running when you shut off the screen, so a true sleep mode would be great.
I have selected the sleep mode before, and to me it did not seem to take any long to "wake up" when I tapped the power button.
I think that if it is a true sleep mode, then it would be nice if we had options like a standard computer. Set the screen time out and then a separate time to enter sleep mode automatically when there is no user activity. Have it function like that when you tap the power button as well, auto sleep mode after 5 minutes or so.
It's the same as tapping the power button. Try to charge the battery full, and put it to sleep mode overnight. Do the same thing for tapping the power button. I've done this and next morning the battery is still at 100 percent full.
The battery indicator is slow to refresh upon waking back up I noticed, I guess experimenting could show if there is any real difference. Still , I would like to know from a deeper perspective, If the source is ever released someone with more knowledge than me could examine the code.
I too was wondering about the affect of sleep vs auto timeout on battery life, so I put my TnT Lite 2.0.0 to test:
(1) with sleep: after 12 hours the battery meter drops by 17% (I actually did this twice and got basically the same result)
(2) with auto-time out: after 8 hours the battery meter drops by 12%
So it seems that sleep and auto-timeout have the same affect on battery.
I am surprised to hear in post #2 that there was no change in battery life; after all, the CPU still runs, albeit at a lower clock. I do notice that when the unit comes back on -- from sleep or auto-timeout -- it takes a few seconds before the battery meter updates itself. Maybe that's the reason why in post #2 it looks as if there's not change at all?
In any case, I can live with dropping 17% over 12 hours, esp since wifi reconnects within seconds. The more I use the g-tab the more I'm amazed how well-built it is as a piece of hardware, and how much it was weight down by the stock TnT... Thanks to roebeet/rothnic/bekriebel et al for making this useable (and fun!).
I do not think the CPU runs on a lower clock when the screen is off, that is why SetCPU has the option have a profile to lower the clock with the screen off.
If we can get SetCPU to work correctly, this thing would hardly use any battery if set to minimum clock speeds.
So it seems that my phone backlight stays on at random times after pressing the power button to turn screen off. I don't notice it in the day because the background is black, but i've noticed while using my phone at night that the back light stays on. I can't recreate the issue, it just happens at random times. Doesn't matter what ROM i use, it still did it with all roms. Does anyone else get this problem? The reason i say problem is because it drains the battery quickly when the backlight is on. It can go from 60% to Dead in less than an hour.
Currently running stock rooted 2.3.6
Screen is at lowest brightness
I Always press the power button to turn off screen when i'm done using it
I have screen timeout set to the lowest (15 seconds)
Any ideas?
I had this happen once when testing out chainfire3d. Restored a cwm backup and haven't seen it since.
got same problem once
When i had this prob, i was running RootDim @ background, so make sure u are not running any LCD brightness modifiers at the moment.
Noticed 2x today I walked away for an hour and came back to a bright screen. Both times I had just plugged it in and left it on the desk. I turned the sleep timer down to 15s and experimented a bit but couldn't replicate it...
I also noticed when it auto sleeps, there is no screen lock sound. Though I do hear it when I click the power button. The option is turned on in settings, and I remember my 300's all made the lock sound 5 seconds after the screen turned off. Maybe the 700s don't do it? Or maybe there's a problem with the hardware or not really sleeping?
Does yours make the lock sound when it locks after an automatic sleep?
Please can someone just turn up their volume and let their tf700 stock ROM go to sleep with the lock sound enabled? Tell me if you hear the lock sound when it AUTOMATICALLY goes to sleep? (Without clicking the power button)
I only have a couple days to exchange and need to know if this is normal for the 700
Again, the lock sound only plays when I click the power button, Not when it auto sleeps and locks. The tf300 always played the audio.
I noticed that if i leave the screen on (with gravitybox) for a mid-long period, e.g. 30/60 min, the display will start flickering (or jumping) and the oscillation will increase with time. The only solution is to turn off the phone and let it rest for some time then power it on. Do you know why?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am not sure if mine is related, but today my Nexus 5's screen flickered then went black. I can feel the phone vibrate when holding the power button down. But still nothing, tried plugging into computer and after unplugging I hear the low power chime. So I know that it is working aside from the screen staying black.
The phone is running 4.4.3 stock that I flashed via twrp, with faux123 18u kernel, exposed installer, gravity box. This could all be coincidence, and I could just have a bad screen. But does anyone have any suggestions?
Can some one help?
Some times if my phone on silent, i sleep like that ,then wake up and its on the first step of volume
Sometimes even when its on full volume i set it down and take it again to see it got back to the first step
Some times even while im using it on silent i suddenly start hearing touch sounds cuz phone resets to the first step again..
Im on .119 stock no root
