Not that it helps you much but I've ways had issues with auto brightness on my phone, regardless of rom. Fastboot flashes don't fix it either.

And now that I think about it I don't think mine dims either.
[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
Well, that's what I was thinking, too. The last time I really know that auto dimming worked was on my Milestone 2. I did as doogald sugessted but it doesn't work.

I have put so much time and effort into modding my 5.7.894 that I won't upgrade to anything, except of ICS if it's ever becoming stable.

But I appreciate any hint or information sharing. :)

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] cstn:
notice the scratch-retardant screen cover that you affixed. the transmittance of some screen covers are low. so, i digged a pore on the screen cover above the light sensor
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
cstn makes a good point. Some GNex users have reported issues with proxy sensors detecting the screen protector and never waking the phone, so the same may be happening with your light sensor in some form. If there is a screen protector covering it, I would trim that area away and test.

Same problem with rooted stock Bell XT860

I have been having the same problems with auto-brightness getting brighter, but never dimming. I am currently running what appears to be a stock Bell 5.2.476 (2.3.6) which was rooted before I bought the phone. I installed a third party application to do the brightness control as a workaround, but so far it is a bit annoying about changing the brightness levels excessively. I suspect that some fine tuning will fix that.

Sensor works but won't dim

I have the eclipse rom and it won't dim either. It's supposedly .906 and I even tried adjusting the levels too. My car app will auto dim when it's running.

[Motorola Droid 3] acwest:
Does anybody know what code is responsible for auto-dimming? Is there a System app that does it? My phone is rooted, so it would be nice if I could find a way to replace whatever is doing the auto-dimming with something that works. I have an app that does it, but it takes over the brightness completely, so there doesn't appear to be an easy way to manually set the brightness temporarily while it is running
[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
I always wonder how open an operating system is when such settings are NOWHERE to find, wheather it's the speaker volume, or brightness settings, or lockscreen or anything. It's almost like Symbian.

Well, hate mode off :D

I'd also LOVE to know where these settings are stored.
[Motorola Droid 3] UltraMagnus0001:
My Car Dock Home app will auto dim when it's running and only when docked, so maybe it will help someone that knows a lot on how these apps work. My wife's droid 3(same as mine) does not auto dim either and she's is running official .906 rooted and I tried several roms (Eclipse 2.2.2, Eclipse 3.0, Liberty 2.0) and no luck.
[Motorola Droid 3] acwest:
The OS is quite open in most cases, given sufficient time I could find it in the source code. The biggest openness-deficiency is in the area of device drivers. Generally the source code for drivers for things like cameras is not available, which is why it is quite common to see new ROMs with broken camera support
[Motorola Droid 3] UltraMagnus0001:
Since I can't post on a developers thread I figure I would post it here. This is my setting for the droid 3, I modified the Lux (config_autoBrightnessLevels) values for the first few to allow the phone to dim completely in the dark. A lux value of 2 is when you completely cover the light sensor, so I set it to 3. Lux of 10 was with my small lamp on, 20 was with my ceiling light and outdoor but not in the sun is about 4000. I still can't figure out what setting causes the dimming, but I don't think it's in the framework-res.apk

[General Questions and Answers] vega1979:
Hi All,

I have installed the slim bean 2.0.1 on my Samsung I9000 and I realized the wifi hot spot functionality is not working for me. I read everything I could find on the forum before to write this post. Obviously I loaded the netfilter module for the semaphore kernel by using the semaphore manager app. More precisely, I am able to connect to the hot spot as I receive an ip from the dhcpc server on the phone, and I can even ping the phone (from the computer), however there must be something wrong with the nat as I cannot ping any ip outside the local net or web address (always from the computer). Reading through the posts it seems the wifi hotspot functionality works flawlessly and I don't understand why it does not work for me. I installed the slim bean from the ICS 4.2 through the wipe data and format system steps, I didn't add any extra package just I9000.zip, Common_2_x.zip and Clock_Ass_Fix.zip.

Is anybody else experiencing a similar problem or perhaps has a solution to it?

Thanks,
[General Questions and Answers] rafael.augusto:
I had similar problem, but try to flash radio to your device. might work... :cool:
[General Questions and Answers] vega1979:
Let's try

Ok I can try it although honestly I don't understand the link between the two things...why would change the radio fix the tethering issue? :)
[General Questions and Answers] vega1979:
Nope...

I have tried to flash differently radios but the result is always the same... the wifi hotspot is not working...the ip is assigned to the computer but ping does not work and pages are not loaded....

Anybody else has any clue about this situation????
[General Questions and Answers] iKoolkid:
Ask in the slimbean thread, or your device q and a. Honestly I ran this ROM earlier on my phone and its completely fine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dajola2007:
Hi, can someone help. I have the S3, rooted, and tried yesterday to go into settings, more settings, nearby devices, file sharing. However all of the options including the `radio' button is greyed out?

Has anyone else come across this?

I thought it may have been kernel specific, I was using Franko's R14, so I re-flashed the standard build I9300XXBLG8 with the root maintained but still no joy?

Can anyone help?

Screen shot attached!

Thanks

Dave
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coopson:
You might have already tried this but just keep taping on the file sharing switch, my phone was doing the same thing with all the buttons grayed out but i just taped that switch like 10 times and it ungreyed and started to let me turn it on and off.

Sorry if you have tried this already.

That worked for me, thanks!

Hi, thanks for the info. Have just tried that 20+ times and no response. If anyone else can help please let me know.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dajola2007:
Thanks for the help, just found the answer in another thread, I had to goto settings/application manager/click the ALL tab, scrolled down to the `Nearby devices APP' and clicked Cleared Data, went back to settings/more settings/nearby devices and it worked. Thanks to whoever posted that!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SytRep:
Worked for me

I had the same problems, eventually fixed it by removing the micro sd card, clearing nearby devices data and restarting the phone. Once I confirmed everything was working, I reinserted the micro sd card and now everything works as it should. I hope this helps someone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foo:
Didn't work for me. Only for the first time after deleting the data it worked, the on/off switch was enabled immediately. When I went to the menu for a second time, I had to wait for about 15 seconds, before the switch became enabled again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morg01:
Mines still borked too!

I've read that even doing a factory reset still doesn't sort it, maybe its an issue with firmware? I'll try deleting cache and dalvik cache in cwm to see if that helps.

. . to confirm clearing nearby devices works but only temporarily

edit / update:

well it seems clearing the cache and dalvik cache doesn't seem to do any good either, but I had some success.

Firstly I cleared nearby devices cache / data again (whilst I was in the vicinity of my wifi network with wifi turned on on the phone at the time, don't know whether this is important but it seemed to kick things into working for me at least)

The dnla settings became live again, but I noticed my wifi icon was gone even though wifi was turned on on the phone, so I toggled the wifi button and heypresto things started to happen! and was able to see my phone on the PS3 and share files etc.

After I switched off the phone and rebooted (with dnla left in the on position) the dnla app was greyed out again, however a quick trip to wifi settings to toggle on and off again (and also remove some 'remembered' wifi connections that I no longer use) meant the dnla share started working again no problem (and without clearing any near by devices data again).

Hope my experience gives some pointers to others out there to get theirs working!.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morg01:
Edit 2:

Still getting a grey DNLA inactive screen, but by turning your wifi off and on, on your phone a few times (in range of your wifi network) it seems to jump DNLA into life . . . hope it helps
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morg01:
Edit 3:

Seems that going into advanced settings in wifi (go into wifi settings not just turning it on) and altering the wifi sleep policy seems to correct the issue, I toggled from 'never turn off' to 'turn off', then back on again, and DNLA app seems to work fine now . . ...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FC360:
I've been having this issue since day 1 of getting the phone, took it to store and they couldn't figure it out and said as it's not a fault they couldn't exchange it. For me it was a fault as the main reason I got the phone is to stream media to my TV and the blu ray in living room. Thanks to this thread I am now able to do this, tapped on some of the options several times until a pop up appeared and got it working.

Seem's like a odd bug which I hope Samsung update with the JB update.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspec1:
Connect to your wireless router with your wifi

then toggle your wifi direct on

go in near by devices and wait until screen come to life (not geyed out)

don't touch the screen while waiting it doesn't help.

it can take a second or two or even a minute or so (keep the screen on by looking at it)

when it light up it's up and running.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceC00l:
DLNA greyed out

FYI:

I found the problem to be related to the number of files (multimedia in general so mp3, jpgs, mp4 etc) on your external SD card: if you have several thousands of pictures and mp3 files like I do on a 32GB or 64GB SD card, it is near impossible for this service to enumerate them without lagging(!). You can see for yourself by simply unmounting the external SD card (settings -> memory -> unmount SD card) and then entering the DLNA sharing: you will see the option turns white after a mere second and you can enable or disable the service rather quickly without problems. Even if you untick the sharing of Video, Images and Music, after mounting the SD card and re-enabling the DLNA sharing service, you will still see the option greyed out. It is trying to enumerate in any case all the MM files on your SD card but takes a hell of a long time before it finishes, becoming white again. Why it is so slow is up to the developers to find out as it shouldn't. I suspect there is a scanning bug somewhere in the enumeration process.

You can enable a debug option which will popup a window if an app is taking a long time to respond or is hanging so you can see what app is causing the problem. You'll see that even after you go back to the main screen once you have selected the DLNA sharing menu (which is greyed out), the phone is sluggish as it is scanning the SD card and after a couple of minutes the warning will popup allowing you to terminate the service or wait until it is finished. You can enable this option in the developer options page, last setting "show all ANR" (or NRA as mine is not in English). I suggest you all to keep this option always enabled as it will give you more insight on what apps are causing your phone to lag and are problematic.

This should be reported to the developers at Samsung or Google/Android as I'm certain it is not a major problem to be fixed.

My S3 has currently build BLH3.

As a side note, unfortunately my popcorn A-110 which has DLNA support, is no longer working with the S3 built in "share" button that pops up in the player (top left): it sees my popcorn but when I try to "export" the song clicking on the button, it just fails to playback. Similarly, when I enable the DLNA sharing, my A-110 sees my S3 but only see the images but it fails to show them. It doesn't even list the songs. This is a fimrware big in the A-110 though (it seems it only lists jpgs and avi files and not mp3 files). My LG P990 does however work with my A-110 correctly playing back songs (though the scanning function is not working) and images. I guess it's time I got a more recent popcorn though it'sa pity as mine work so well for over 3 years.

Anyhow, I hope this shed some light on the matter:)

Edit: sorry guys, I just read the post by foo - so this one's kind of a double :/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspec1:
Hi

Yes I think this is main part of the problem.

However I think this part of the problem is caused by a combination of the type of SD card and the mounting of the card.

I was using all the tricks mentioned above then I discovered what you did.

What seems to be causing the SD card problem is the mounting of the card it don’t seem to mount properly (even though the rest of the phone seems to operate fine). I simply unmounted removed card remounted repeated a few time. That seemed the get a more stable mount…..

On some phones I’ve found it necessary to remove SD card contents to a laptop and reformate the SD card in the phone. Again I reformatted the card 2 or 3 time for luck (not in laptop but in the phone). Put contents back on and the phones can now access the SD card without problem…

.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceC00l:
Yes, I had formatted this SD card on my prior phone (LG P990) though I did not reformat it on this phone. I have had the problem you mention before on other flash devices and it appears the mere disposition of the files in the sdcard/ssd influences access times for certain files depending on where they are (all controllers now write files in random blocks to avoid cell deterioration). This all leads back to the diatribe about defragging or not flash / SSD devices. This really depends on the controller inside the flash device basically. In any case, simply defragging the SD card DOES help, and resolves the laggy access problems most of the time. I will do this on my Sandisk 32GB SD card (again) and see if access times improve and this lag problem improves.On a side note, writing the whole card with a certain hex pattern also helps the access times. I do this regularly on my SSD device on my laptop after I delete/defrag many files. If I don't, it starts lagging like hell after some time.

Cheers;)

or should i just downgrade to the verizon samsung galaxy nexus?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trafalger888:
In my opinion since there is ways to load a custom kernel there is no reason to trade...there are lots of people working on unlocking the boot loader and I would like to see it unlocked. But, for now the ways that we are working around this issue are around and a good solution for now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
Same thing happened to me when I got it. Was really disappointed. But their is no phone out comparable to it. Anything else whatsoever is a downgrade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
It depends on your definition of downgrade because honestly I'm trying to figure out what makes this phone so popular?

It can't be the design because this is not at all a nice looking phone.. It can't be the ui cause touch wiz looks like a ten year old designed it

The galaxy nexus with jelly bean I heard is very smooth
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekhna:
There are fully functional jelly bean builds. It's popular because it's a beast, and development is excellent despite the roadblock (which no longer matters).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
This is the first time that I own a galaxy s phone and I bought it because of all the hype it gets.. There are like a thousand commercials about this phone

I truly want to know what it is that makes it a beast.. I'm not trying to be a troll or whatever I'm just curious?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekhna:
...are you serious? It's by far the fastest phone on the market. Development is excellent, the community is great. The Nexus is a great phone, go get it if you want it, but it's already seriously dated and the camera blows.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] asmallchild:
If you already know it's a downgrade, why would you do it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
I'm asking myself the same question :)

I guess my main disappointment is the bootloader

But I understand that it's a newer device so it will take some time..

I guess what I will have to do in the mean time is use widget locker for that horrible lock screen and find a good launcher

Any recommendations
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Take a look at Nova Launcher.

Now to wait for an easier way to install custom recovery and roms

Tapping that from another galaxy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechBSwift:
It's super easy to install roms. Go to the market and download ez recovery, go into easy recovery and install cwm 6.0.1.0. That's it's now go find a tin you like boot into recovery and flash the rom. Of course make a backup first and stay away from asop roms imho. To many people had issues. Flash synergy, beans or cleanrom. Those are all safe roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JBO1018:
Installing custom recovery and ROMs doesn't get any easier than it is now. EZ recovery app, as said above, for custom recovery and clockwork recovery for ROMs mods etc.. If you screw up there is always ODIN. As long as you don't brick the bootloader (just don't flash bootloaders) ODIN should fix near anything I believe.
