Try looking into Display Settings and check how long it will stay before the screen dim

I set it to 30 seconds always. Does that have anything to do with my problem?

Yes, after 30 secs your screen would go dim and eventually shut off.... Increase it to 1 or 2 mins.....

Problem is, display brightness sets itself sometimes to zero...

Are you using some kinda battery saver....? Also brightness is set to zero when your phone is running less on battery.

I think its some kinda flashing error. Try reflashing firmware meant for your phone model no. but first go to recovery and wipe data and cache. After flashing also wipe data and cache. I guess it would be good. But if that also doesn't help then it would be a bug on the firmware. Try changing the firmware to a latest one...

Black border on the screen

Hi,
Today when i check my phone the display was not filling the entire screen. there seems to be a black border.. .i.e the display is 1 mm shorter than the actual screen size.... i dont think it was there before today... but may be i dint notice...
can u guys confirm if u too have the same kinda display ?
erhm,yes,same here.
So, we cause a triple murder before breakfast, start a race war before dinner - that's uh, that's a pretty good day.
Are you getting this in all the apps and even on the homescreen as well? If your not getting it.. then I would suffice that it is just that app that your running now that might not be optimized completely on the screen grids/borders of your Note.
Now if your getting this as well in all of your apps including the homescreen/lockscreen.. My second question then would be... are you on stock ICS ROM or on a custom one?
Some custom ROMS have some light blue border that is faintly visible when your trying to look at it. Nothing of a big deal though (to me in particular) as I know this is just a ROM (and therefore a software) issue and not on the hardware one (which would give me much more of a headache if that really happens)

i think it's a rom problem,i face it when i'm on that build,but now i change to gueste.. and everything works,try to change kernel.. or rom..
I also had this problem on Parandroid CM10, no sign of life from the phone at all.
However, I reflashed the rom and now it works great.
Ok rom issue then. I will reflash it with a different one and kernel. Any kernel recomendations?

Happened to me on gueste2x v3.8 last night while I was USB tethering...and I was just pushing for a record time running made it to 160 hours and had to pull battery out to get it working again. As mentioned already, it's probably something to do about background data/wifi activity.
Nevertheless, I still recommend gueste2x v3.8 :thumbup: Give it a try

I kept having this issue with stock CM & faux kernel. I resolved it finally by replacing the battery with a new one.

Battery problem

I am running sweet rom v5 and my battery has been draining pretty fast... Like about 20% in one night. I have bbs(better battery service), installed and I checked my kernel wake locks and there seems to be something called "powermanagerservice" that's been on from the time since I unplugged it from the charger.... Any suggestions as to what is the problem? Is it an app or is it the rom. Also when I was on Samsung stock jelly bean from Germany this same thing was waking up my kernel. Here is a screenshot:

Yes.I know mine was directly related to touch sounds screen unlock sound and basically kind of every sound that came out of the device.It shouldn't be a problem unless the audio out_2 minute counter keeps rising for no reason.

(help) Galaxy s diaplay turned pink

My phone's diaplay has turned pink.But when I press the home button to open task manager then the area behind recent apps dialog box becomes as it should be.
So please anyone could tell me if it could be repaired or the screen is to be changed!
Thanks in advance
Hmmm. This is interesting.
Did this just suddenly happen or did something happen to it, eg. Did you flash a rom/kernel or did to get submerged in water etc
If it did get submerged in water, its likely a hardware fault
Try flash in Sempahore GB, that has Voodoo colour, and see if that changes anything - if not, its likely a hardware fault

Follow what @Soryuu said to do. In my opinion, if this is a hardware issue (display to be changed), then you better buy a used phone as it costs equal to the display. Or you may use it as your secondary phone and buy a new quad core phone

That's probably why - when you reassembled the phone you must have also done something to the screen digitiser without realising.

Check that the display flex cable is properly seated. Or see if you can tune it out with colour calibration.

[Q] Navigation buttons on custom ROM - Problem!

On stock v20a, the navigation buttons didn't turn on unless I was using them. Now, after I installed the Slimbean ROM, they turn on everytime I touch the screen. Is there any way to solve this?

nope, unfortunately. you can disable them completely, or turn them on whenever screen is on, but there's no jb mode, i.e. for them to light up only when you touch them.
Ok, thanks. Can you tell me how to disable them completely?
