Upon unlocking my device my soft keys do not light up. The only way the buttons light up is if I toggle the brightness widget. I've tried making a tasker profile to change the brightness when the device gets unlocked but that doesn't seem to work... any suggestions?

Auto brightness seems to behave very unpredictably--when I wake my phone and unlock/use it, it will remain at dimmest setting (too dim), and will seemingly randomly move to a more appropriate brightness (not with intense activity, it's really random), and will again randomly revert to dim setting (not with stoppage of activity).
Is auto brightness messed up with android or the note, and how can I fix it? Just set a manual brightness level?
Running cassie x lite rom and latest franco kernel btw.
No advice about this anyone?
Automatic brightness issue
Hello Friends, I have a similar problem as the OP, octavian90.
For my Galaxy Note, following the sequence below,
Applications > Settings > Display > Brightness
By default the slider for Automatic brightness is towards the middle/centre.
I have unchecked Automatic brightness and calibrated the slider to the extreme left.
I have come across the following strange observations -
1] When I unplug my device after charging, the slider resets to the default level.
2] After I recalibrate it to the extreme left once again and make a phone (voice) call, the slider resets to the default level over again.
Is this normal behaviour or does my device actually have a problem? I am very confused and worried. The device is not even a month old.
Eagerly awaiting your expertise. Thank you octavian90 for initiating this topic.
Friends, awaiting your much needed replies to my queries above.
Have you disabled the screen saver or what its called that adjust the brightness automaticly.? Works like a auto brightness but it can adjust some things brighter and some dimmer eaven on same light....
I just checked my settings and the have the slider all the way to the right because last time I manually adjusted brightness for reading in full daylight. It is currently on automatic brightness (I prefer that setting and don't find it changes too often or too laggy)
I just then manually adjusted slider to about 20% from left while on USB charge then turned automatic back on again. I then removed charger and it still shows automatic and slider about 20% from left.
Could be a ROM/Kernel issue? I am using Rocket ROM with Franco Kernel.
I don't think the position of the slider matters when backlight is set to auto. Or does it?

No it doesn't matter when on autobrightness. But it should remember the last manual setting chosen so not sure what is causing that glitch.
Hm never really paid attention to the behaviour of the slider. I will take a look and report back how mine works.

What I found out: On my device the position of the slider before activating auto mode is completely irrelevant because as soon as I activate the auto mode the slider is reset to its middle position.

Interesting - just turned autobrightness of and you are right - slider went to the middle. Must be by design then. Problem solved

Sorry SoonHD2, I did not understand what you meant. I am confused with the screensaver part you stated.
A humble request for an explanation, if required. Thank you.

This happens with my Galaxy Note as well. Thus, it seems like it is meant to be this way.
I will keep an eye on this and report if and when the Auto brightness slider acts differently.
I just notice when I turn off automatic lighting and turn my light off, my key lights don't turn on or off automatically. And there's no way to turn them on automatically.
The problem is if I want to just keep my brightness all the way up all the time, in the dark or low light conditions the bottom keys don't turn on. So I can't see them. Is there a way to fix this. I'm on full unrooted stock ICS.

Can you suggest me a good LED control app?
I was trying the full LightFlow App but it doesn't run really well. For example i set up it for Whatsapp but it blinks at the rate that i choosed only for the first 5 seconds, then it turns back to the whatsapp's default rate!
Thanks
Simple.. turn led control off in whatsapp then it won't over rule lightflow

nope, it doesn't work. The same with calendar: the LightFlow's notification works till the screen is on (i set screen to turn on 5 secs), when the screen shuts down the led turns white and "default" blink rate. And i set off the control of the LED by the calendar...
If then i press the power button and turn the screen on, the lightflow's notification works again till the screen shuts down again
P.s. lightflow is enabled in stamina mode
EDIT: it works if i turn off Stamina Mode... strange! there is a conflict

Try to white-list that app in the stamina mode.
As i said Lightflow is enabled (or whitelisted) in Stamina mode!
there is a conflict with Stamina Mode and lightflow or lightflow is working on your device???
So i'm searching another app
Does anyone else have the problem where the screen dims after inactivity (doesn't turn off) and when you start using it, it doesn't turn to normal brightness no matter what? Only way to get back to normal brightness is to turn on and off screen.
Just saw it in action and it might have to do with the greenify auto hibernation feature (non rooted). Does anyone use this?
