Hi guys so the screen suddenly went dim and brightness wont work, opened up the back and used some pressure on the digitizer flex connector as you can see in the video here.

Now i'm wondering who's fault is and don't know if replacing the display will solve the issue.
What do you guys think?
I know when I have adaptive brightness on, my screen will do something similar to this where it won't go any brighter
Maybe try disabling Adaptive brightness?

hi guys. i recently replaced my cracked screen and after that i noticed that the auto rotate function isn't working properly. some times it's ok but sometimes like when i go to camera, and when I come back to menu, the screen is Locked on landscape mode and the only think I can do is to lock the device and unlock it to make the screen portrait.and after that i cant change the screen orientation att all unless i restart the phone.
Mostly the screen has a light that only noticeable in the quite dark place when the auto screen light is on after turning off the screen.
i had some problems with ambient light sensor and proximity sensor as well.
i once wiped the data i was thinking maybe it's a software problem but nothing changed
is it really a hardware problem? is the board or any parts damaged during the replacement?!
Same problem Here
I have the same problem, but it is with ambient light sensor and the proximity switch, when i go to the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) the proximity switch does not show up, when i press ambient light sensor it says ¨This device does not support this function¨.
This phone i just bought it a few this ago, i tried reseting customization, wiping data, flash another rom, Root... everything and no answer.
If u wipe and flash and still have the problem it is possible you have a hardware problem. Check all of ur water damage indicators to see if they are red. Also you could tell us your model.
When I put my nexus to charge, screen flickers like it needs more power. But when I increase the brightness it goes away or I can't see it. Tried a different power outlet as well. And I'm using the turbo charger.
Anyone experiencing this?
I just received my Nexus 6 and I notice a lot of screen flickering if I have the brightness set to low or up to 25% ...I see more flickering when I have the ambient lighting option enabled in settings. If I put the brightness to 50% or more it kind of eliminated the flickering...I am worried because I'm starting to question if this might be considered a defective display. Thanks
Yep, I got mine on launch day with T-Mobile. The screen flickers at lower brightness levels, at first I thought it was my eyes or I was just going crazy.
But it definitely is flickering, kinda similar to filming a fat old CRT TV with your video camera for your Halo 2 Super Bounce Montages (too a much lesser extent).
I'm a bit worried that it might burn out one day...
Also, my display is uneven.
I haven't looked into it yet, but maybe someone here could tell me -- should I contact Motorola or T-Mobile for a replacement? I have a feeling T-Mobile will charge me for it.
I get this too. Is it something we just have to live with?
Hello!
I wonder if anyone had this issue. Yesterday suddenly the backlight of my XT894 started to act weirdly. When i pressed the unlock button, the screen would go very bright and then shut off after 2-3 seconds, but I still could swype the unlock screen and hear the unlock click, even with the dark screen. With a little bit of external light I could see the image was there, but the backlight of the screen was not on. I went on to the power shortcuts and disabled the Automatic brightness control, and as soon as I did that the display turned on, very dimly but it turned on. When I set the brightness control to maximum, it still is very low. If i set the brightness to minimum, its almost impossible to see anything. In display settings, the automatic brightness is unchecked and the brightness fader is set to maximum.
I started suspecting the light sensor, so I went ahead and downlaoded a sensor tester app, and the light sensor appeared to be reporting the light levels correctly - low readings in the dark, and much higher readings in direct light.
Is my phone backlight dying? Any idea if this might be due to defective mainboard, or the display itself?
I already did some repairing on the phone myself, so I am comfortable dissassembling it and changing parts. Few months ago I changed the main board because my old one had a broken usb connector, and it worked fine until now.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Konstantin
If I remember right, by default, the maximum auto-brightness is still lower than actual maximum, so if the screen can barely be seen at manual max, it makes sense that the screen is pretty much unviewable with auto on.
Idea:
If you have it installed, boot into Safestrap and see if your brightness is normal.
If not, pull up the diagnostic menu (hold Vol - while powering on iirc, might be Vol - and +).
If your brightness is normal in those, it's probably something gone wonky in Android. If not, your screen backlight might be going and needs replaced. I don't think there's anything on the mainboard that would cause it, aside from the circuitry actually supplying power to the backlight...
Screen replacement actually isn't terrible for the D4, if it comes to that, since it's not fused to the glass (like certain single-piece phones for example...*sideways glance at the S3*).
Hello!
Thank you for your reply!
Effectively something is very wrong with the device. Today I woke up to find it completely unresponsive, had to turn it off by holding the power button for a while. When it turned on again, the whole screen was white with glitchy color lines since the very reboot, and nothing else happens, couldnt even turn it off without unscrewing the battery.
I will put the old main board to see if the other one died.
Thank you again!
Best regards,
Konstantin
Hi, got an HTC one recently but i'm having problems with autobrightness seems like the low brightness setting for for phone turns screen completely off. I went to brightness setting manually and drag the slider to the lowest point but the screen will completely turn off just before it reaches the last point so i downloaded lux from the store and checked it the screen while turn off below 15 lux. So my question is, is this a hardware defect or can i install firmware or anyother software to calibrate the light sensor? thanks guys.
Hi. Me and my friend have same model and when we try to unlock our phone in clear sunlight or bright light area I hear unlock click but screen stays black like its not recovering from deep sleep or something. My friend and I tried to removed back cover and its working fine which is a weird thing here, don't know its related or not but its working. Is anyone having this same issue? Screenshot of my brightness settings is attached
Sunlight mode will work only if auto brightness is off.
