Gee! This so-called adaptive brightness is quite a euphemism that annoys me always when I least expect it:
In bed! I like to read some wiki before dozing off or a story from the Gutenberg collection. However, pretty much every night this little piece of garbage code suddenly decides to turn on the headlights and to honk at me optically.

Very, very, very annoying! Worst of it all, it does not matter which phone, and I see that behavior even on Samsung with stock ROM, therefor I must concluded it is broken by design. Or is it just my halo triggering the sensors?
I vaguely remember that it wasn't like this, many years ago:
Why that simple table sensor X brightness was given up, I don't know. Alas, this "new" approach just does not work (at least not in my vicinity)...
Help! Can you suggest any workaround or alternative?

So here's the deal.
One day, I dropped my defy "accidentally" inside a water closet. I put it up high in the shelves and suddenly it drops down to the closet.
now the left part of the screen is unable to be touched anymore. as could be seen in the screenshot below. the green areas are the ones that are broken

as this is a surely hardware problem, are there any other solutions than:
a. buy a new LCD screen (hard to find)
b. buy a new phone
thanks for the help guys
bump..........
Sorry
Since it is a hardware problem, I can't think of any other solution besides purchasing another LCD/phone. I'm sorry.
That said, I have put my defy underwater many times. The touch screen stop working when wet, but I had no issues with it once it dried. Maybe the problem was from the impact?

So here is a screen shot of an nfc chip implementation used in my car.
After tagging, besides the usual wifi off, rotation on, etc i used tasker to create this scene which allows me to launch just about everything i do in my cars.
Besides the obvious, the 1 touch brightness buttons are there for night vs day driving, bluetooth off because one of our cars has no BT, etc...
I really hope this nfc stuff takes off as it has been extremely helpful and is an amazing time saver.
Your device upgraded? Which version?
Samsung i747, CM10
Nice usage and integration w/ tasker. The only issue is I wish the average consumer wasnt intimidated by tasker. There are some very productive, efficient uses with NFC. The feature I saw on cnn with the reporte using tasker and locale gives me hope.

Hello guys. Here I will post a semi-blurry picture of my HOX, (the black), and my girlfriends HOX, (the white).
As you maybe can see, my led light is very heavily decreased, and I don't know why.
PS: Mine is rooted, my gf's is not.
And it's not because of one single rom, because of all that I've tried, (plenty), none of them have increased my led light.
It might not be important, but it really bugs me that I can't see when I get a new text message, etc.

Same problem for me after updating to JB
Are you sure it didn't get dirty in your pocket around the same time you updated? Just in case get a can of air-duster and give the front grill a good clean, it may save you the trouble of flashing roms and fiddling around. Mine gets dusty and dim all the time.
I have seen the Samsung CES show on youtube and was just woundering if

any of you developers can come up with a LOCK SCREEN NOTIFICATION DISPLAY. Where it shows text, missed calls and notifications moving on a strip peace when the screen is off. Just the strip shows with the notification. Like this one.
Just wanted to put this idea out there and maybe see if anyone can make this happen.

Mind posting the video?
I really dont think this will be possible, it would almost be like having an overlay or a floating text box set to the edge of the screen when the device is turned off. to activate the feature. maybe you can, but that sounds like a lot of work for a Dev to do.
sounds cool though.
It was just a thought. Im sure someone might be enticed to try. Never say never.

Hey folks,
I bet that many of you could remember my name, i was author of many nightlies for our beloved Note2.
My note2 pass away a few weeks ago, there was no accident or drop. Just dead in my hands while was browsing...
I could save my info, disconecting display so the phone boot up and allows me under adb save pics, etc.
As you could see under this pictures, when the phone boots, just a low darkgreen light shows up.. Did anywone have the same trouble? This device comes with me since the beginning in September 2012 with the launch time.. yep nearly 4 years. I would like to save it (i have a new motoG 2015 2gbram) but changing display its more than 120€... its insane.
To sum up i´ll say, when the phone boots up appears this low green in display and in a while the phone reboot itself without no lights, when the display its disconnected the phone complete boot and works obvious without display/imge.
Just asking if someone found this problem and what have you ...
