light sensor calibration

Hello,

I recently flashed pacman ROM rc1, and my light sensor seems very bad at detecting lower light. Basically in a room with light from outside, it says 0 lux. So the screen goes too dark. If I set it higher brightness at 0 lux then is to bright at night.

I remember having this problem on an aosp rom in the past. I can't remember how/if I fixed it.

Is there a way to calibrate that sensor?

Thank you.

Okie dokie, I've had enough now. When I'm using the stock camera, why does the last photo I've taken persist in a small preview square at the bottom-left of the screen while I'm trying to line up the next shot? I've cleared all the data from Camera, using Settings->App. manager, and it's still there. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this annoying little blight on the camera screen, or would a better idea be install a third-party camera app.?

The dreaded system systemui stopped

I have an i9500 S4 using the Omega V24 rom. Everything works fine EXCEPT when the phone need to be re-booted. Search has many fixes but none works for me. How can I fix this? :crying:

I have used the factory reset a number of times. I have used CWM, Philz Touch and the Team Win recovery systems. In desperation, I used my computer to delete everything on the phone except the Android file that is apparently protected. I really don't know what to try next. It seems strange that the phone works fine except when it re-boots.

This systemui stopped is making me crazier than I already am.

Unable to post question in other threads

Hi XDA !!

I was wanting to know as to why i'm not able to post any questions in other threads. I had a question i wanted to ask in the Ozcan Rom thread. I wanted to know what are the basic upgrades in updating from Ozcan Rom 4.2 to version 5. Then i also wanted to know if i can just wipe dalvik cache and flash the version 5 on the existing 4.2 version. And would Comadose 3.5 work on the Ozcan 5.0 ?

So could you please let me know how(or why) i'm not able to post queries on those threads right now. And how can i get an answer to my query. And i'm a noob so please go easy on me ! :D

Thanks !!

Hi,

In which case:

Odin troubleshooting:

If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:

- Repeat procedure.

- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.

- Change usb port.

- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).

- Try another Odin version.

- Uninstall and re-install driver.

- Try another computer.​

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

In that case I believe you won't be able to use the CM10.2, unless you risk yourself with some nightlies, which can not be that bad ;). After all stable versions came after the nightlies. So, I recommend getting a highly downloaded nightly which people already commented or reported it is working.

Also, I'm not sure if CM10.2 had it on your device, but there's also the Snapshot builds, which are stable as well. You might want to try it. But, why not using CM11 M9? It's quite stable, at least for the i9505.

And one more thing, please don't quote the entire OP. It only clutters the screen, please edit your post.

Hi,

You mean you can't flash the file? If that's it, then you have a locked bootloader. If it is indeed very close to the i9505, then you can try Towelroot, but keep in mind the problems reported already.

If that's not the case, can you explain better? Maybe it can be Knox... In that case you will have to root and delete/freeze Knox apps.

Hi,

How did you solve the problem on 3.4? Another thing is to check if your ROM is on latest version because it can be a bug of the release. Checking the ROM thread for any answer related to your issue may be a good idea as well.

Hi,

Can you connect to internet at all? Is your sound working? It can be a Modem incompatibility. If not, then I will recommend reflashing the ROM.

Hi,

I'm not sure. Better look at your device's forum: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att

If you can flash a custom recovery and the ROM is available then I think it's possible, and you'll be able to find the 2nd question answer there as well. For the third, if you don't have the Knox bootloader you can downgrade firmware easily with Odin.

Hi,

I believe it's 70 degrees Celsius, 70 degrees Fahrenheit is quite low (~21ºC), so it wouldn't be a problem ;).

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

Hi,

Yes, you'll lose Root and you'll lose your custom Recovery, as the stock ROM will reflash your system and recovery partition, but they are quite easy to reflash later, so that's not a big issue.

I have this as well, my cellphone is working without any problems, so I never got worried about it. I believe it's there to show that your device was modified, therefore you lose your warranty. Nothing more than that.
