weird screen brightness issue

I am running 5.4.0 for a week now, and everything was running buttery smooth. And i have made no changes or tweaks since i installed it.
Today, about an hour ago, the phone was resting on my desk while i was "working". all of a sudden i saw that the phone is rebooting itself. after it finished booting, the screen brightness was very dim. I checked the brightness setting, increased it to MAX, but to no effect. then i tried to turn on/off auto-brightness, no help. I rebooted the phone, still no improvement in screen brightness. I shutdown the phone, and rebooted after 5 minutes, still no luck.
At last, i pulled out the battery while phone was running, and reinserted it after a brief wait. This time, the brightness was back to normal.
Has any one of you seen this before? is it a known issue?

I also reverted back to 5.1.8 but I don't seem to have that problem...could you explain what exactly you are trying to do so I can copy and let you know if it is working with my installation.

Reverted back from Coindroid, becouse I don't have patience to wait for complete bluetooth functionality (and I missed EQS). Sense 4 is very nice, I miss it already - but you can't have it all with "old" device. I feel pretty much "last year", lol. I think you guys are right about 5.1.8 beeing better than 5.4.0 - but I missed to read last couple of pages for inspiration, so I'm on 5.4.0 for a moment, with latest bricked. Made it as battery-saving as possible, will see how it goes.

I did the upgrade from 5.2.1 to 5.4.0. I noticed there are a lot more options. For the Captive button lighting. I like it a lot. The only problem is that non of the settings work even after a full reboot. Button lights did work in 5.2.1 but it was alway's on or off.

Do more people have this problem?

Please would someone be kind enough to post a link to a Stock Sensation XE Kernel? As I'm having no luck finding one for the current base used in IC 5.4.0.

Trying to find the answer to improving battery life.

Thanks!

Your phone is awake a LOT, no wonder you only get 19 hours. Do you know what you're doing when those massive drops occur?

Well 19 hours without recharging for me is like a dream, I don't know why you guys are complaining. I'm on 5.2.0 latest bricked kernel sensation xe, and I have to recharge every 8 hours or less. I only use it for phone calls and 3g during the day so ???

Because it should be able to last 24 hour with no problem. (light use). I think my GF is close hitting 48 hours. But the battery is verry low after that.

IC 5.4.0 with 1240 MHz clock. Auto low brightness.

    Before you start using this rom here are some things you need to know

    1. Suggestions are always welcomed but I hate requests - you want something so bad do it your self or ask HTC. you paid them not me.

    2. Don't ask for ETA is rude and offensive. When is done is done.

    3. Custom Roms come without warranty. They are tested before release but something always can go bad. So if you broke your phone or you got fired because the alarm didn't rang - IT IS NOT MY PROBLEM!

    4. Support is limited. Sometimes i can answer your questions sometimes i don't have the time, sometimes i don't have an answer so please do no repeat your question or get offended because I haven't answered you

    5. Don't compare roms. Is rude and offensive for chefs. if other rom has what you need, use that rom.

    6. You can use any parts of the ROM as you please. You can even kang the rom and make "your" ROM. I really don't care

    By using the rom you agree with the above terms!

    Why? as I mention earlier, when mummy and daddy fight, is the kids who suffer so i'll do my best not to make the kids suffer.

    Fresh start. Thread rating is gone.. thread views the same

    yes. you are right, finish will be a better word.

    Here is the explanation for my decision

    http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26035425&postcount=1101

    and if makes anyone feel better, same thing happened to one x rom.. reason .. in the link above

    yes i forgot to add "check by default unknown sources" but keep in mind that

    1. i did 4 roms over the weekend when i was visiting my grandparents, probably most of ppl would have thrown the laptop away and open it monday
    2. if im not mistaken IC is the ONLY rom that provides this addon, many things you take for granted in this rom, are made everytime there is a new base. lots of things happening behind the scenes so you can enjoy the final product.

    but more and more people care less about this, i'm not saying all, but everyday new users come to xda, they don't read, they don't search, they only demand ! i'm getting a bit tired of all this.

    When i started to make roms, the only goal was to make a rom the way i like it Period ! over the time i started to oblige users requests, offering mods, later optional in installs, and in the last period interactive install. but heh is never enough.

    I'm starting to loose the passion for this, i know i can't please all, you may not like it, it's fine, it's not my goal to make anyone happy, but if you don't like don't take a dump on my work, don't use it, or make a nice suggestion it ENGLISH not engrish and not with a demanding attitude.

    examples " i will switch rom coz of no auto-restore " lol wtf dude, is not like you flash this rom every hour. is not like you have to wipe on every update, and even so, you can't live without it, switch roms and move on.
