[Q]Screen off/lock and auto-brightness - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have some issues on Arc S after upgrading to 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.587) and I did not solve it, yet .. so, is there any chance to avoid using power button as screen off/lock option? .. any widget I use does not shut down screen, in a second it goes back on .. and where is the auto-brightness screen set up, manual slider is the only option?
thanks!

Arc won't work

I was applying a wallpaper to my arc then I hit the home button by accedent. This caused the background of my arc to become black and soon my phone stoped responding. Then it said android system is not responding (or something like that). Then my phone turned off. I had to put my battry back in and hit the power button. Then it boots all the way to the lockscreen but my slider is not there and when i touch my screen it just turns off again and i have to remove the battry to try to start it again. Any solutions?

If you can't get access to the home screen just reflash.
This did happen to me exactly the same as how you described I had to reflash and start again very strange indeed
thanks guys. I tried to reflash but it stoped and told me to turn on usb debug. which I coundent do. So I just went to Rogers and said the update messed it up and they flashed it in like 2 mins. Does anyone know what they use?
Rogers most likely have access to EMMA, it's SE's software update system for engineers.

[Q] HELP! Lock Screen BUGG

HELP PLEASE SOMEONE! :crying::crying:
My ROGERS Samsung Galaxy SIII LTE SGH-i747M running Jelly Bean 4.1.1 has a lock screen bug! I have been googling around the web, but still couldnt find anyone with the bug I am having right now, so i am asking for someone to plz help me out here! The bug just started today, my phone is set to "Swipe" mode on the lock screen, so usually I would just need to swipe my screen to unlock my phone, but today, when i press my power button OR home button, my phone turned on, and showed my lock screen for 1 second, and it unlocked by itself. I didnt have to swipe or anything, all i did was pressed my power button OR home button, and it unlocked by itself. I know this is just a minor problem, but it is so annoying! I am sorry if i dont make any sense, because its hard to explain the situation I am having, but plzzz someone help me out here!
Thanks!!!
Cheers!:fingers-crossed:

Goto settings >security and check what they are set at under lock screen. Less security than swipe is none, which means once it wakes up you are on the home screen.

But the problem i am having is that, mine is set at "Swipe", and before the bug happened, i can swipe my screen and unlock, but now, all i have to do is just turn on the screen with power or home button and my lock screen wall paper will show up and then half a second after, it will unlock to my home screen by itself, and it wont let me swipe.
The above bug happens to me sometimes. I then switched to using a pattern on my lock screen.
If I leave the phone unattended sometimes for a few hours, when I "wake" it, it reverts to a "swipe" to unlock instead of my pattern of password that was set. My phone is stock 4.1.1 and not rooted.

Brightness stopped working and black screen after wake up.

Hello.
Suddenly my phone decided to stop activating the screen after I press the power button to wake it up, but the soft keys light up and screen is working even though I am unable of seeing anything.
Also the brightness function not working as well.
Any idea how to fix it or should I send it back to LG?
PS. My phone is not rooted and running factory 4.1.2

explain !
working screen but you cant see anything
brightness function not working on a dead / black screen?
No.
Let's take things from the start. Assuming that the phone is off when I open it the screen is fully functional. As soon as it goes into standby mode or by pressing the power button or after 30 sec or 1 min according to users settings the screen won't start again when you press the power button to wake it up.
As for the brightness setting is not working at all either I choose automatic mode or manually. I can only access the settings when I power on the phone when it is off.
I hope now it is crystal clear.
Try reformatting with new kdz

should have waited or my reply... we are not in same timezone. anyway its seems bsod a simple wipe or even kdz flash would confirm any hardware issue.
Thanks for the reply I will let you know as soon as I take it back....
Was the issue resolved?
Hi,

I got the same as OP problem on my stock E971.

[Q] Home button will not wake phone.

I recently did a factory reset on a rooted G Pro but now the power button will not wake the phone. Everything else works fine and the home button works when the phone is already awake but will not wake the phone. This is still the stock ROM with nothing but root done to it. I can't anything about this exact problem and the threads I have found that were close to the same problem didn't shed any light on it. Can anyone please help?

Had not intentionally, but it's possible one of the mods installed had. I did a software update and it all started working again. Thanks for trying to help anyway!

P8000 does not response

Hello all,
I am using the original 5.1 ROM.
Now, I can turn on/off the screen by pressing the Power button, but that's it. The screen does not respond anymore to my touch . Then the screen is off automatically after timeout.
Could you give me some hints to fix?
Thanks

in my opinion, the touch screen is broken. try flashing different kernel, and see if u have the same probs.
Hard reset possibility...before concluding it's a touchscreen problem.
