[Q] Exchange brightness on official 4.1.1 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys, I dont normally post unless i need to, but I noticed that since updating to 4.1.1 over keis to the official JB from samsung, the brightness automatically goes really dark when i go into the exchange email app. I use it for work and its starting to bug me now.
question is, how do i stop this? I remember previously there was a setting, but dont seem to be able to find this now.
The only way i seem to be able to get round this is to switch off 'auto' the main brightness setting
Help!!!1
Also, I used to like the CM version of Exchange because i liked the white look, does anyone know a way to get this running on official sammy rom?
I could do this on my gs2! but dont seem to have found anything for gs3!
hope you can help me......
regards.
Paul.

yeah im having same problem havent sorted but trying too. . .ill keep you updated

Same problem here. I have email app brightness issue in wanamlite and omega roms. I have searched answer in forums and not found solution yet.

same issue here.
I used to have my brightness always at minimum (auto off) in 4.0.1. Now with 4.1 i have to keep brightness at 50% in order to read (still with difficulty) text in exchange email. Really frustrating... no options to tweak that? Any way to resolve than without rooting.

I searched all foorum to find solution for that issue and no luck. To get rid that issue is only solution find another email client?!

I uninstalled launcher pro for a moded launcher pro plus. I unistalled it using Titanium.. now I can't replace it for some reason. I actually notice I was dealing with system files and its a bit different. Any ideas how to force to install it manually?
I read some where that winamp app causes auto mount.

Yeah it's definitely winamp. I had it installed and had the same issue. Instantly disappeared as soon as I uninstalled it.
It is a feature of Winamp. The automount may be toggled on/off from inside Winamp's settings.

Check in your About Phone and make sure you did get the JI6 update. That was supposed to fix the "known Issue" when i was talking with the tech support at TMO. Of course, i was running a third party rom and couldn't get the update so i flashed Bionix 1.9.1 which had the update built in and have been good since. If that doesn't work or if you DO have the update and still having the issue have them send a replacement as it is a defect and they will send a new one.
I had to exchange my phone, tmobile explained to me that its an issue with some phones and cannot be fixed so they sent me a replacement phone. I would one click unroot and exchange your phone. That is what I had to do.
Hi.. Thank you all for your response.. Is it possible to fix it if I flash it with a new ROM? Or is it becuse of hardware issue? I am waiting for a Froyo ROM to flash it. Would it fix the problem?
Thanks

Wow I wish my battery was that good...
Try repartitioning with stock ROM in ODIN. It seems to solve a lot of issues, but it will wipe your internal SD.
I have this same problem and I have had no luck fixing it with ANYTHING! I tried ODIN so many times and its always the same issue...
Moved to Q&A.
any body have fix usb connected ?
i've done all which is writes around the internernet after reading 400+ web site threads/posts still not able to solve, Please if anybody have done please share with us
thanks

[Q] (Q) SMS Limit (3) and Downloading from the browser

Hi Guys
Need some advice if that is okay, is anybody else experiencing an SMS Limit? I can write up to three sms then it converts it to MMS which is very annoying because before (desire), i could write 7 or more.
I did search and know there is mod but is there another way, as in, an option?
Im on orange and am using lite'ning rom 1.5
My second question is that any time i try to download anything within the browser (file, apk, video, etc) it always fails. No matter what.
I'm really confused and have looked in the settings but its puzzling me.
If anybody could shed some light, that would be great
Thanks guys
Ash
Can't help with the sms question, sorry. As for the rest, the stock downloader only allows certain types of files to be downloaded, go find the "download all files" app on the market and that will solve that issue
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Thanks mate, i tried the app but still can't download some stuff. But its definitely a lot better than before.
Is it just me who is encountering this problem? Thought this may be a standard thing on the SGS2?
yeah!! the sms limit is definately a problem.. Any Kind souls can guide us how to reslove this sms limit??

ICS 4.0.3 Contacts problem

Hi all
I've encountered a problem on my S2 regarding contacts. When I do a search by entering any letter those persons who have these letter will show on my screen. The functionality in that regard is working fine however it will also show up those persons that I've marked as hidden.
For instance I unmarked for show any contacts from my sim card. However when I do a search it will show any persons with that letter including those from my sim card?
Anyone know this problem and how to fix it?
I believe this either happened when I updated the firmware to the latest. ics 4.0.3 and dunno if its a known problem?
Or it could be related to me rooting my s2.
However I did a stock firmware install but the problem still persists.
I've tried on mine and I get duplicates too. I think the hidden ones only stay hidden in your Contacts menu and not your search function. Either this is a default thing or it can be edited using a script. Either way, I don't have a problem with it, but I can see why it is annoying you. Sorry I can't help much, I'm a bit of a noobie myself.

Thank you for replying because I certainly needed a confirmation that it wasnt me that messed up my phone.
Alternative solution would be to simply delete all contacts in my sim card and it would ease my annoyance but still I would say this is not very optimal.
But you did help me by replrying .. thank you.
EDIT:
A friend of mine who also has a s2 but who is still on gingerbread do not have this problem. So I suspect either my phone to be the culprit which seems not to be the case, it would have to be an issue on ICS in general?

SpeedROM wifi mms problems

I know that you guys are going to tell me to search through the thread. I'm actually not a noob I just lurk a lot.
I flashed SpeedROM 4.0 and now I am unable to send mms messages (redundant) while I'm connected to my WiFi. I searched all over that thread to find a fix and all I came up with was to install Android 4 ICS Messaging SMS over the Play Store. tried it. it came up with an error "Duplicate Provider Authority" Any help?
I also found out that there's no notification of messages on the lock screen nor does it chime/vibrate/notify when you receive a message from an unknown number

It's a general problem with the amaze on ICS, it's widespread, so don't expect a fix anytime soon.
It never happened on the stock ics with sense 3.6. If I knew how to do all of this stuff I would help. My best guess is that the answer is in the stock ics ROM. I have my stock backup if anyone needs it for study

Do a battery pull... That will drop all the power out of the phones radios and force them to reset. Thus fixing mms hopefully

I tried that already. I actually know all of the basic trouble shooting steps. my last two theories are either the coding for the room is just wrong or I need to flash the kernal which I have nO clue how to do

You do realise I'm on stock ICS right? If you read the wifi thread that's in this very sub forum, you'd see it's not just me that has the issue, many members here as well, go over to tmo's forum and check the ICS bug list thread, you'll see a damn long list of others there as well.

my guess is on the kernel needing to be flashed/reflashed for the mms/wifi thing. as to the other issues, no clue. have you tried running stock ics yet?
Yeah I had stock ics for a while before I switched. I don't know how to flash the kernal though. Honestly if I knew how, I'd just put stock ics mms.apk in the.zip but I tried that already and it canceled the install. Don't know how to do that either

Just reflashed the kernel, same problems still exists. I'm confused now as to what to do.

"Duplicate Provider Authority" means that you are trying to install something that the phone already has system flags dedicated for(this explanation could be a little better).. Speedrom already has the MMS app, use a root tool, titanium backup - something to remove mms.apk from the system/app folder, then you will be able to install the one in the market -- not that that is a sure fire fix.. but one thing at a time. Try that, that is the only reason you couldn't install.

I believe that the white screen is a known issue with a number of apps on Lisbon. I myself have experienced the white screen you describe w/ my email and Facebook apps. The developer is aware of the white screen issue but is on holiday for 6 weeks. I believe that he said that he'd look into the white screen issue.
Thank you so much for answer me!
He did a great job with this rom so I'm sure he'll fix it
Meanwhile I can use some substitute app =)

it's acutally a known issue with ICS period.. it happens on my inspire running aosp 4.04 the best thing u can do is go to app info clear data and cache and try again.. usually works and doesn't come back for quite a while

Thanks! I actually was not aware that this was a known issue with ICS as a whole. I've been running CM9 on my Touchpad and have never experienced this issue in the past. Since the Flyer is the second device that I've owned that has run ICS, I just assumed that the white screen was a ROM issue as opposed to an ICS issue. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
