Motorola Xoom :: Screen Just Dims When Tapping On Different Things?
Aug 16, 2011
its not always the same, sometimes when i tap on notifications, apps, something in brwser, my screen just dims instead of doing the function im tapping on. is this a 3.2 issue? i think it started after 3.2. off track will google buying motorola be good for xoom users?
Since the 3.2 update my screen dims and hangs in many programs such as choosing a picture to upload to facebook. Screen just dims and doesn't do anything. Not happy with this update.
I found that after my phone has been on for a period of time (hours or a day maybe) my screen will dim but not go completely dark. That is, normally it dims after about 20 seconds, then goes off a few seconds after that - like it seems it should. But after some hours of use it will dim after a prescribed time period but never go dark unless I tap the power button. If I shut down the phone and start it up it seems to work properly again for a period of time before it starts exhibiting the same behavior.
My 9300 stops recording when the screen timeout is reached. this is not by accident this is occurring because software was installed to prevent me from recording.
Is it just me or there's something wrong the G4's auto brightness logic.
On my way home the train passes by some tunnels which is totally dark.
What I noticed is when it detects light, screen brightness increases and when light is absent screen dims. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?
I have my newly purchased yesterday Galaxy S6 Edge for Verizon and auto-brightness is turned off. However, when I go into a dark environment my phone screen dims itself even though the auto feature is turned off.
When in a dark environment I can can hit the phones camera sensor with a flashlight and the screen returns to full brightness. When the screen is then locked and unlocked again it will return to the dim setting.
Extremely frustrating considering how beautiful the S6 Edges screen is. Wondering if there is a fix I can do now, waiting for an OTA update, or just return the phone and get something else.
my sensation xe always dims the screen when i turn it portrait to view video when in Internet or streaming from internet. i can't find a setting in any of the phones own settings or in Internet or internet settings to correct this.
I defected from Apple, and traded for a used LG G3 with lollipoo... Below is a list of my problems. Does this sound like lollipop bugs, or did i get a lemon?Bluetooth constantly disconnects/reconnects..Google play and native music app stop playing when screen dims (no problems with spotify or poweramp)Front facing camera crashes with headphones, songs randomly skipping... Or plays for awhile before skipping Gets hot Factory reset did nothing
I am facing this problem with my Nokia N81 just starting from today. Whenever, I slide it to access the keypad, it's screen turns corrupted with funky lines and random things on the screen. What could be the problem? Could it be the hardware or software?
Sometimes when I am using the calculator or Draw Something the screen enlarges, by repeatedly tapping the screen sometimes it reverts to normal or I have to completely come out of the app then return.
is there any way to turn off the tapping feature of the touchpad? I see that I can turn off the touchpad entirely, but I'd like to turn off only the tapping feature as it's waaaay too sensitive.Second, it would be great if future designs allowed the dock screen to be opened further even another 10 or 15 degrees would be awesome.Currently, even opened all the way, it's all but impossible to see the screen clearly when you're using it on your lap ( e.g., sitting in a car ).
Well I didn't bring this up online until now, but It didn't get resolved inspite of sending the phone to the service center,I'm running the Defy on the Official 2.2 update.When I use the phone to input text in landscape mode I face the following issues -
1. Can't select words by double tapping, implies I'm unable to correct typos which is especially irritating when I'm using skype.
2. When i try to select all the text in the field with the 'long press' the text becomes white but the foreground also remains white (its supposed to turn orange) and i can't see what I've selected.
Texting works perfectly fine in portrait mode.This issue occurs with swype, multitouch and moto-input methods.When I called customer care and said the problem wasn't resolved, I was told that there was no way to correct it. (So have i paid Rs 17,000 for some buggy phone?) Sorely disappointed with Moto's service.
I have a daughther that is 16 months old and sometimes while traveling we will start a movie on the Xoom for her to watch. But being that she is young, she loves to touch the screen which usually causes the movie to stop.
I have searched the Google Play for an app that would allow the screen and buttons to lock for a toddler and still show what is on the screen, but I have not found one yet. The screen could still be unlocked, but it would be like the lid to a medicine bottle, only a grown-up could unlock it.
I know we are at the point that some of us are giving our reviews of ICS while the rest are waiting for their update to happen at all... but here are a few things missing that i have noticed..first, Task Manager. is it not needed at this point or did the assume we would just download one? i used mine instead of using a task killer ( i know i know that debate is an old one) but i miss having it on there.omeone else mentioned the "in pocket detection" was also gone. I used mine with and without it and never really saw it a difference. mine is in the otterbox holder most of the time, and in my pocket only off work. but its still gone.
the other is the3g only, which has already been discussed and told how to change it anyway. I downloaded the app which is an HTC thunderbolt app that was recomended on the droid news n guide app, but i cant tell you if it works lol.. im hardly ever in a 4g area.while there are a lot of good things in ICS and the fact that it looks so different does give you the "new phone feeling" i wonder why these were taken off.
I just replaced a glass screen on my father's Motorola Xoom with the 4G LTE upgrade. Total cost was $101 and about two hours of time. The Xoom was dropped on a tile floor and had multiple cracks in the glass, but was still functional. Just want all you fellow Xoom owners to know it can be done yourself if you have at least a bit of skills (and a hair dryer).
My Xoom WiFi is encrypted. When I turn on the tablet I get a password screen with the Android logo and a clock that never seems to display the correct time. Is it a glitch?
with all of the complaints about the Xoom being a Fingerprint magnet I thought I would share this info.
The cloth from the Monster Ultimate Performance TV Cleaning Kit works like a charm. I use the cloth dry and it removes all the fingerprints from my Xoom screen.
My biggest complaint about the Xoom is the fact I am not able to take screen shotsinstalled ICS tell me if the new OS has that functionality built into it?
I have a 3G Verizon Xoom on 3.1. I've noticed an issue since I got the tablet a few months ago; every once in a while, when opening a URL from outside the browser, the screen will flicker, like the connection to the LCD has gone bad. It is corrected by tilting the tablet to change the orientation from landscape to portrait, and then everything is fine. The issue only happens when opening the browser from inside another app - by clicking on a link in the gmail app, for instance.
On occasion, when I hold my Xoom so that it is tilted backwards (i.e. I'm lying down and the Xoom is held in front of me slightly tiled back) the screen becomes totally unresponsive to taps. If I tilt the screen forward and retap it seems to work fine or if I press the standby/power button on and off it seems to reset and work fine. This happens about 25% of the time and once it starts it continues until I reboot.
My Xoom screen observed "Dotted Line"eed to send my Xoom to hospital again I had replace the LCD on 8 Oct 11 due to "Oil SLick/Newton Rings"Now LCD issue aga
So to make long story short woke up this morning after update yesterday and for my luck i find out that my screen dont turn on. Already called moto and they told me to send it in.
I'm running Android 4.1.1 on my Xoom.I'm trying to consolidate my game shortcuts to a single panel, but the customize icon, '+' does not appear on the upper righthand corner of the home screen.What happened to it and how do I get it back?
Why I cannot add widgets like accuWeather??I drag and drop them but there is no result. E.g., when I add accuweather and choose my city there is no widget in the screen.
Is there a way to take a shot of my Xoom screen without rooting my device or paying for an app? The only one I've found for sale for non-rooted devices is the best part of $10, which I will pay if I have to but it seems weird that the device doesn't do this anyway.
i've been noticing that while I'm on apps such as Facebook or Instagram that my phone will start clicking on people's profiles, liking posts, or clicking links unprovoked. I thought maybe it was a problem with the apps, but I started noticing it happening whike sending a text the phone will click on suggested words by itself, and even if I'm just on the home screen apps will open on their own.
With honeycomb, when you removed the tablet from the dock (and it was in standby) the screen turned on, but now with ICS I only get to hear the 'sound' but the screen doesn't turn on, I have to use the on button to turn the screen on..
