[Q] Auto brightness setting disappeared??

Always have had auto brightness on, it works for me.
But, after adding the 'power' widget to the homescreen (which can control brightness settings) and fooling with the brightness a few times, i decided i wanted it set back to auto.
Went into the menus, and there is no tick box for auto anymore, in the brightness setting. Just the slider.
Took the widget off the homescreen, no change. Rebooted, still no change.
What gives?? Anyone else have this happen?

EDIT: Solved problem. Was the LCD density, i guess it squashed the box and hid the setting.

the widgets on screens, usually cycles through the different modes
just keep cycling until you get it back
or simply go into Settings > Display > Brightness (make sure check mark is green)

That's the thing though - there is no check box anymore!!
Very curious as to how a system setting could just disappear like that.

Settings - display - brightness and there it is just above the slider on the lrft ?
Is here for me and I also have the brightness widget.

i think it might be JM5 firmware you are using
i'm using the official JH2

I can't help with the problem, but I can say that I'm running JM5 and have the "Automatic brightness adjustment" checkbox in the "Sound and display" settings.

wow, that makes it even more weird and intriguing....
how did the [OP] managed to lose that check box?

Wish i knew. And i want it back! Pretty sure all i did was add the 'power' widget, play with it for a bit, and it was gone.
I am quite certain it was working right after the JM5 flash, although to be completely honest i did not actually check. If it wasn't working i think i would have noticed rather quickly, its pretty obvious when its doing its job.
Added screenshots for the skeptics.

i'm not skeptic, i just can't figure out how can it has dissapeared on its own, yet i can't figure out which software could do something like that.
seems like worse case scenario is to reflash the ROM again to get it back

Was it there after you changed your font? Try the stock one.

Alright, i figured it out. Might add this over in the pertinent thread, too.
It was the LCD density setting. I guess it squashed the box down so much that the check box was entirely hidden! Man, what an odd problem.
Thanks for the help!

Wow, thanks for sharing
this is something worth being Noted on the Wiki
anyone got time to make an entry?

No problem, i'd add it myself if i knew where to put it...?

Thanks for posting the solution! I ran into the same problem and i was perplexed as to what happened.

[Q] Auto-Orientation Check

Is there any way to check which applications are causing the orientation on my Tab 7" to lock?
When my tab boots up, during scanning of the media files, the screen can rotate automatically when i change the orientation of the tab.
After scanning and a while, the screen will be locked, as it will not rotate anymore when I turn it around. (discovered this while playing burn the rope. Keep failling 1st stage).
I have browsed through the Application settings but I dun see any mention of them having access to lock the orientation.
I have also upgraded to the 2.3.3 firmware recently. The applications I reinstalled in my Tab did not cause this issue to happen before the upgrade.
And before somebody points me out the obvious, yes I checked the Auto-Orientation Lock in the pulldown menu. Whether it is on or off it doesn't matter. Same issue. Locked.

May be another obvious thing that you've just not mentioned, but have you checked settings -> display -> auto-rotate? It can cause a stupid conflict with the "lock orientation" toggle.

I did not mention it because under display, there is no auto-rotate option.

Guess we're on different firmware then. Worth checking anyway

I dun remember seeing it there on 2.2, now that i'm on 2.3.3, it's also not there. so i dunno where to check.

[Q] Possible to change Ambient Display Duration?

I would like the Ambient Display to stay on Longer then it currently does. Does anyone know if this is possible via some mod or app?
EDIT: Oops...wrong forum. Would on OP please move to Q&A... thanks.

Hey @djmend
I was wondering the same and found that Lightflow seems to do it, it detects ambient display as a LED so you can control how long the notifications keeps blinking, however it causes a weird behavior with mine, even when there are not notifications in the notification drawer if you turn off the display by pressing the power button ambien display turns it on again to show the clock for a couple of times. I contacted the developer and said that it should not happen, give it a try it may work for you.
I hope it helps

No haptic feedback on Zuk Z2

Hi,
I installed 2.0.111 ST and updated to 2.0.133 ST(Official Indian ROM). There is still not haptic feedback while typing. I have Google Keyboard installed. Anyone else facing the same issue and found a solution? Thank you.

Just enable the default phone vibration from quick switch panel. The haptic feedback will work. ?

It is enabled in "Settings". Is there a hidden menu when you refer to the quick switch panel?

Setting > Sounds & Vibrate > Enable Vibrate.
ReCheck vibrate on keypress option in " Keyboard settings " also.
This solved my similar issue with keypress vibration.
Check if this helps you or not ?

Have You tried other keyboard's too ??
Like i am using Google Indic Keyboard but my vibration is working in both.
Have You done a factory reset after the upgrade from 2.0.111st to 2.0.133st ??
Can u try factory reset after backing up all the data and then check for the issue ??

I tried all the keyboards I have installed and none of them seem to work. I have not tried to do a Factory Reset yet. I have all my emails setup, so will have to set them again.

If the vibration is working in call and other notifications like messages and alarms, then you better try factory resetting the device. It can help.
Don't forget to take a backup before.

If vibration is totally not working anywhere, then it can either be a hardware problem or major firmware issue.
The only posible way to distinguish between two , is to re-flash the firmware or do a Factory Reset.
It it didn't resolve the issue, then its a hardware problem.

Same problem on my phone too! Vibration works in Alarm and while using on screen navigation buttons. But it doesn't work on the keyboard for some reason. It does not seem to be a hardware issue if all but the keyboard is working!

Yeah , its not a hardware problem.
So you tried other keyboard too !! And the problem still persist ?
I was also worried first , when mine keypad feedback was not working , but for me it was just a Setting issue. It was Disabled in Keyboard settings and so was the default phone vibration.
Enabling both together made my day .?

Same here. All vibrations in the system are working, but not in the keyboard.

Hi,
for me the Setting was in "Settings" - "Sounds & Vibrate" - "Other Sounds" "Vibrate On Touch" - I dont know why it was disabled after a reboot of the device.

side light..

Have you tried this feature. Lights up the screen when you receive any notification.. You can set it to other colors..
#prettycool

I've been playing around with this myself, doesn't appear like there is any customization to this which I wish there was to extend the time it stays on screen. Also it doesn't seem to work if you use custom texting apps for example.

Yeah it would have been nice to customize the colors, duration (time and repeat), and which notifications. Really like it though. I've missed a flashing status light to get my attention.

He was able to change it to whatever color? Or it was just showing the different factory set colors?

There's a few of those apps, and this one worked best for me! I stopped using it (uninstalled) though, too much battery drain!

Go to notification settings on the custom texting app, importance, urgent. That should activate the blue frame. Worked for me on the Signal text app.

useless in the dark?
It almost makes up for the lack of Notification LED.
My only issue with this feature is that it only works when the AOD is on... so it is useless at night or in the dark.
I haven't figured out how to keep the AOD on while in the dark, I feel the phone vibrate but you have to press the power button a couple of times to wake up the V40. Anyone else having a similar issue? is there a setting?

Come to find out my issue is with the screen protector. It doesn't have a notch at the top, just holes for the cameras and speaker, and a clear spot for the sensor between the cameras... but that's not enough. So when there is not enough light, the sensor thinks it's in the pocket and the screen goes dark... and no knock to un-lock.

Yes, KnockON is enabled under "Extensions". I've found that knock or fingerprint don't work if the sensor in the front is covered. Only the power button.

Hey guys give this a try, I hate AOD and I'm disappointed this phone has no LED. But I traded this phone for my Mate 10 Pro so it's alright.
