Here is how it is disabled on Tegra 3 devices. I'm sure there is just an easy of a way for qualcomms chip... we just have to find it after we get rooted
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:

btw, there was a secret menu for the att version where you could turn off the dimming when the phone got hot. if we could get that menu maybe we could turn that

I'm not sure if it's the same thing as dynamic contrast, but it also sounds similar to some content-aware brightness settings included in some ROMs.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Does auto brightness even work on this phone? I will pull down the notification shade, uncheck auto brightness, put the brightness all the way down, check the auto brightness box and it does absolutely nothing. Anyone else notice this?

Upon further review, if I go to settings and display settings and check the box from there, it seems to work. Maybe it's just broken in the pulldown notification shade?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahendra1020:

Same issue here. Here's my post on android central:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg...-changes-when-scrolling-through-web-page.html

It happens anywhere there's a white background and is especially noticeable on low brightness levels...also, autobrightness is broke. Shame because I really like the phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hardcore73:
The auto brightness does some sort of baseline brightness instead of the usual auto brightness we think of.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canecbr600:
Dial 3845#*800# I think, that will get u in the services menu. There are 2 items about thermal throttling to enable. I'm rooted, and made the change just fine, there was another guy on here that made the change, and said he was stuck n bootloop when he rebooted. Not sure if he was rooted or not, or if that even matters.... That is for the at&t version, Verizon version should be able to replace 800, with there model number in the dial string ..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
yeah verizon version doesn't work for that menu. we can't get into it that way.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff5093:
Yup, mine does the exact same thing. I tried setting brightness to 0%, 60%, 100%, and more, then toggle automatic brightness but it never gets brighter or dimmer on it's own. Seems like auto brightness is broken...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryancnap:
well I doubt the sensor would be broken.. maybe a huge software flaw they failed to notice? is everyone on the same update? as far as the flickering brightness hope we get that disabled, sounds like a huge pita
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxrax:
It sounds to me like sort of dynamic contrast "feature". Normally there's an option to disable it under display. Apparently LG didn't think we needed the option to disable it I guess
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jodiuh:
My only problem with this being related to dynamic anything is that it happens on long web pages with nothing but black text. It happens on forum pages that look the same when scrolling down.

It also happens on my replacement G2 and the display. Hopefully we'll get a fix soon.

The new phone is much cooler than the old one tho, so if your G2 is getting "hot" its worth returning.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
ahh, ok glad you found this thread haha. anyway, yeah I'm glad mine is cool to the touch all the time, especially when using the camera. coming from the s4 where a minute if camera use would bump the cpu temp up o like 65 degrees c and the phone would be super hot, this is very much welcomed. so glad I returned my first one when seeing those dust specks under the screen and got this one, which is just perfect.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryancnap:
so seeing as theres different models that apparently get hotter/stay cooler..on the lgog we found out that we had four differently binned CPUs. slow, fast, faster, fastest I think. the faster and fastest didn't have much overheating and supported bigger undervolts as well. I attached the thread, I'm not sure if/how we would figure this out on the g2 but it'd be nice to know within a few mins of buying the device if you were going to have heat issues or not. hopefully someone more knowledgeable then me can look into this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2052496&goto=newpost
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
nice, but this doesn't seem to be a heat issue at all. my GS4 would dim the display under high heat, andy ou could see it when you wentt o brightness bc it would say "screen brightness reduced due to heat" or something.

that gs4 always hit around 36-40 degrees C...the G2 never breaks 31 here. so it's def not a heat issue.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryancnap:
my bad, I wasn't talking about the brightness being an issue. was talking about Jodiuh's post ^
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jodiuh:
I lied. New one gets uncomfortably warm too. :(

Cool to the touch...all the time? On top when going back and forth through forum replies and browsing the web? Not even warm? What about running Quadrant a couple times? Games?

How do you like Tapatalk 4 vs 2?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
nah, i was running it with the screen on for like 45 min straight the other night, and i was only at like 31 degrees C. it was barely warm up top. my GS4 used to get SCORCHING hot up top by the ear piece just from like 5 minutes of usage..but this one is much cooler.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jodiuh:
If I'm just reading an article online, its not bad. Its when I start zipping around from app to app, scrolling & loading like a madman that I notice it getting uncomfortably warm.

Still...its fast as balls and doesn't cause me pain like the Note 2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryancnap:
could someone with the device run the grep command and check output of there is any? I would but can't get mine til Monday. idk if the command will work or not bit its worth it to try.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jodiuh:
I'd love to help, but you're going to have to go into more detail than that. :confused:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryancnap:
I posted a link a couple posts back, to the lgog forums, its a thread on CPU binning. something like grep|PVS check the thread for the exact command and just enter it in a terminal emulator on a rooted device. post back anything it returns..if we could get a few people to try this we could confirm that lg is using different binned CPUs again. that may be why some units seems to be getting very hot very quick and others are staying cool.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam2c:
I hate how cellphone companies force feed us these annoying features. Htc, Samsung LG...they all have these dynamic contrast features. The bad thing about the the G2 is that it has a zero lag period in doing these content aware brightness adjustments so it makes it look like a flicker as you scroll or watch movies. I mean, it should atleast wait a couple of seconds and then smoothly adjust the brightness, rather than doing it instantly and abruptly ...chances are, the screen contents will change within a couple of seconds anyway. I understand that LG is banking on its GRAM and their theory that cellphone users stare at static screens most if the times, but they really need to fine tune their brighness schema for the cases where that theory doesnt hold true
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
i'm really hoping there's something we can do once more devs start coming.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam2c:
For those of yoy fed up with LGs autobrightness, install LUX from the playstore. Worth every penny, free edition also available. By defualt, it adjusts the the brightness when the device wakes up, which is perfect for most users. It also lets you do it dynamically while the device is on. The app seems to be battery friendly as well.

It wont fix the content aware dynamic contrast stuff, but it fixes the finicky autobrightness
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billy Madison:
What fix? It is a feature. If don't like it then should swap on another brand phone or wait until stripped AOSP or CM will appear for G2. The G2's screen on AOSP and CM will look dull and pale rest assured

And mind you, all other brand phones including HTC One & SGS4 do have similar "issue" with adaptive dynamic brightness

Even Windows 8 has it embedded http://www.howtogeek.com/107173/disable-windows-8s-adaptive-brightness-to-fix-dark-screen-problems/
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam2c:
Theres a right way to do something and a wrong way. A feature becomes a "bug" when it detracts from the user experience, and im sure you can agree to that. LGs has the worst implementstion of auto brightness and adaptive brightness when compared to the S4 and the One. For example, my autobrightness takes its sweet time to brighten up the display when i pull turn on the display outdoor after having used it in a dark room. But it has no problems making annoying and constant micro adjustments as the angle of the phone's light sensor towards a light source changes ever so slightly while I type, causing flickering. Is that a nicely implementrd feature? it definitely sounds like a bug in the autobrightness to me.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jodiuh:
Well, it was enough for me to return the phone. In addition the crazy heat this phone produced.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rick.brewer:
I started using Lux and it behaves weird as well. I am not sure I like it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alcal60:
I'm creating a new thread as I can't find any with an issue like this .

The problem rised durimg my latest holidays. I believe it was someaway related to exposing my S2 to sun heat (I used it as a GPS nav in the windshield of my car).

One day I found it in a bootloop (Samsung Galaxy Logo). I was not doing anything unusual (like writing a ROM or fiddling with it).

Removing the battery and then putting it back didn't fix the issue.

Luckily, I could enter recovery mode and restore a nandroid backup, after that everything was working fine again.

Unfortunately the next day it happened again. Same synthoms, same solution, fine back again.

In the following days unfortunately the problem continued to happen. It appeared randomly, apparently not related to what I was doing with the phone.

I was attributing the problem to an hw failure, so I was planning to replace the phone (or have it repaired).

To make a long story short, I tracked down the issue to the battery.

When the phone was in the bootloop, one of the things I tried was to replace the battery with a spare one I have, with no results.

But later I found that inserting the spare battery, restoring the nandroid and leaving the spare battery in without replacing it with the original one, stopped the issue to happen. The phone worked okay for a week or so, but when I replaced the spare battery with the original one, immediate bootloop!

So I'm reasonably sure that the problem is due to the buttery, but, honestly I really can't understand why, by simply replacing the battery with the spare one, doesn't fix the problem by itself (without requiring the nandroid restore).

It looks like the bad battery is causing a change in the system that make it unbootable even if you replace the battery with a good one. This doesn't make much sense, to me...

Do anyone have a clue of what is happening here? Enybody with similar issues?

TIA
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GamingDj:
If you have never changed the original battery in 2 years,it is normal that it will fail at a moment. Get a new one from ebay for 5$ ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alcal60:
Sorry if I didn't make my point clear enough. The failure of a battery is nothing to write about.

If you have a bad battery that is causing a bootloop for some reason, you expect that by replacing the bad battery with a good one, you should be able to boot again. This is not the case for me, this is the reason I'm curious about this.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] junkarivu:
First of all I'm here in xda forum for over an year but I never posted or commented before. Because I don't ever have a problem with android development, if I have problem I'd prefer google search but this one doesn't.

So here is my problem I'm using Xperia lww with lupus v8 480p kernel with miui v3.9 Romxdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2219729 and I really liked it. But the problem is unable to use Bluetooth tethering which is my most liable feature on my phone. I don't know why,I googled it but I can't find the solution. Since I am newbie I can't post comments on development section, would someone help me. And one more thing I'm using windows 8.1 to connect Bluetooth tethering with my phone, when I connect, it connects and then disconnects then I use network trouble shooting which shows me an error "the default gateway is not configured properly" and I checked with windows 7 it shows the same error.

Will someone help me.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nowaczq:
Hi there

Firstly i must say that if your xperia p is loud enough, don't read it

I don't take any responsibility if you're gone deaf or damage your hearing

Secondly i've tested it on XNovathor project, so it'll work on every cm or aosp rom (if it'll work on stock based roms please tell me ;) )

Steps:

1. Install this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.alsamixer

2. Run it, grant root permissions, click ok and install required libs

3. Connect your headphones and play music

4. In alsamixer find two options: Headset digital gain i Headset gain and change this options (for me the best experience is headset digital gain on 4 and headset gain on 15)

5. Enjoy louder music

6. It must be repeated when you stop music etc.

This guide is for people who have headphones with impedance above 16ohm 'cause others are lound enough .

If somebody can check this guide for U,sola and go it would be nice ;)

Greetings ;)
