At least by now, majority of android users have now upgraded to the Lollipop 5.0(1) version(OS). If you are still on KitKat, you are on a looong thing, pls try to upgrade as this is a new year, so you get your own stick of Lollipop

Lollipops can be sweet, but it gets bitter when u chew a bitter cola and lick it lol

In essence, what am trying to say is that, while you enjoy your lollipop phone, there's always a no go area for the good of the user, except you know what you are doing

There was a thread I saw some one post about his experience with the same Lollipop on Accessibility features... And he cunningly adviced Nairalanders to try it and have a taste if his hard time....

So I will share the experience I had with my Infinix Hot 2 - Lollipop 5.1.1


[size=14pt]My Bad Experience[/size]

I call it bad because, i almost returned the phone the next day.
I just bought this phone and out of curiosity and eagerness to set up everything and explore the phone to the fullest that day.

I saw this (Screen shot) and I was like wow... I never see this one before o, make I try am and I interpreted thus "maybe its an automatic adjustment of screen brightness"
I turned it on and continued browsing through my new device.. Everything was normal all that afternoon, then I plugged in the phone to charge.

I closed late from work that day, so i quickly packed everything into my bag and flee home, everywhere was dark... while I was inside a keke, a notification came up and i brought out my phone, the notification light was only blinking red. I pressed the power button, but the screen did not respond..
I removed my battery and inserted it back, it came on loading... INFINIX . . . .
Then the screen light disappeared again, I did this a number of times and struggled with the phone, still nothing.

When I got home, no light for house, no light for my screen...
Then I remembered all the bad things said about this phone by some Nairalanders, and I concluded with them...
I tried to do a volume key reset, but i was afraid to lose all my customizations.

I almost returned the phone the next day but it was rooted... Yawa!

So early the next morning I bring torch shine the phone screen, the screen light returned like magic. I turned off the torch, it turned off too, so I remembered what could cause it.

Adaptive brightness settings

I casted back the light on the sensor itself this time and navigated to Adaptive Brightness under Display settings and turned it off again and again...

And my phone was back to normal, I learnt from this experience and I hope u learn from it too.

MY ADVICE: To the new android users, (not only Lollipop) don't just turn on/off anything you don't know about on your phone.. It might give a hell of tough time to fix.. Especially the "Developer options" tools - you don't wanna mess up with those...

Thanks for reading!!!

Buahahahahahaha kekekekekekeke, my broda... E didn't easy... I'm using adaptive brightness on my phone.. Gionee M3mini though and never encountered such problem. Adaptive brightness is to make the screen bright when you are under heavy light condition. It will maximise the backlight so you can see well. But when you are under a low light condition, it will minimise the backlight to the bearest minimum..

I wonder why it's like that on your hot 2.

You have mind O. You newly buy phone chap chap u Don root am?

So adaptive brightness is a big deal??
Nawa oh. Anyway you get what you pay for

OP u have a faulty phone.. probably ur ur ambient sensors are damaged. It might be an infinix thing that can be fixed by an update or a factory defect or the sensor just went bad. What is certain is that the phone was not designed to work like that. It is not a lollipop thing. I have adaptive brightness on my phones, though i hardly use it when I'm indoors but I turn it on when outdoors. It works flawlessly in controlling the brightness depending on the condition of the environment.

Next time before posting this kind of thing, u should make a little research and find out if it is peculiar to all android or infinix phones or just a factory defect. You should do a little research to find out how adaptive brightness works.

OK sir..

But I was just sharing my experience (I was sure of it)
Meanwhile, am an android user - MTK phones.

I know u may have those features on your other high devices, I didn't say adaptive brightness was for Lollipops, it was just a topic mistake.

Thanks for tip tho.

No problem, these kinds of things happen. I once had a phone that had its camera focus stopped working for no reason. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't focus on a image and it was a supposedly high end phone. I knew it was a fault on my device and not how the device was made.

Lol.. OK.
So did u finally fix it?

An using infinix hot2 and since I but the phone have switched on the adaptive thingy and have had no problem so far maybe ur phone is fake lol

IamKollinx:


Lol.. OK.

Never got it fixed. Sometimes the autofocus will work, most of the times it won't.. giving me blurred photos on a 13mp camera. I later sold the phone.

Sorry, which phone was that?

I also experienced same on my new umi Rome 2days ago, took me a little while to figure it out after much scare. Had to turn off the adaptive brightness. Now I have to manually adjust my screen brightness to fit each environment I find myself

IamKollinx:

Sony xperia z

Sony xperia z

Oh.. That beast of a phone

Welcome to my bro, u have no choice...

Since this one isn't automatic brightness adjustment...

Hmm, it seems everyone has finally gotten a smartphone

That's what you get when you buy a chinko phone. I bet Samsung or Nokia will never do this

Don't bet on it bro.

After just 2 weeks of using my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7, the tab suddenly embarked on an endless reboot. Kept rebooting itself over and over and over again.

I have no option than to return it to Samsung. They had to replace it for me. Sadly, they didn't give me my preferred colour (White).

My point is, ANY product can malfunction ANYTIME. It's not a chinko thing.

Very true. Some products have factory defect, it doesn't mean it is chinko. Even Ferrari had to stop the sale of the 2016 model 488 GTB due to fire risk which is a factory problem.

ur ambient light sensor is either bad or ur ROM is faulty. It should lower the screen light in dark areas and not of screen light.

though am not an android fan anymore but I have used enough to know that the most likely cause is that the OP did not remove the 1st layer of screen protector that is use to cover the screen during sales or d main screen guard is blocking the ambient light sensor from sensing the real light conditions, but pointing the touch directly forces more light through the screen guard.
its that or the is has a sensor bug...

#solomonsojay, habah... am not a novice to that level of leaving leather guard on the phone, when i bought the phone, i bought with the glass screen guard.

Hello house! I use an LG G Pro 2 and will like to update it to the latest OS. How can I go about this, please?

Personally my brother, i don't advice you updating your device yourself as you might get it bricked.

[size=14pt]SAFE: You try OTA update from your LG server...[/size]
All you have to do is to ensure that a WiFi connection is being enabled.

Take your phone and tap on menu and then hit settings.
Go to About Phone and choose Software update.
Check for update and if an OTA is being available just download the same.
Wait while the firmware is being updated on your LG G Pro 2.
In the end, your smartphone will reboot into Android OS.

Or you try downloading and installing Stock/Custom rom at your own convenient and risk if you have a PC.
The below links should put you through on that...

Last word: Don't try any update on a rooted phone.

Thanks, brother. Perhaps the phone knew the plans I had for it. The screen broke this evening Any idea how much it costs to fix it?

That is true, but you cant still compare them. one malfunctions better than another.
