Cannot adjust brightness, or screen timeout settings.. can you?

[xguntherc]

On my new G2x I cannot adjust the screen brightness, the option is greyed out and does not work in settings. I've tried rebooting twice. The only way I was able to lower the brightness was to use the widget and select the different levels (or auto, and auto didn't seem to work)

also screen timeout delay, is a setting I wish to have to choice to choose, it is also greyed out on my stock G2x. I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this or if they are able to adjust theirs?

Thanks

Apparently if you skip thee setup this happens. Or so I read in another thread.

Yes I can on mine. You probably have a defective device. I would take it back.

So from what I've found from this and other reports on this forum is that LG REALLY didn't want you to skip the initial setup. I assume these are glitches, but man, that's a pretty big oversight.

Try changing it through the T-Mobile My Device app under "Quick Tools."

Same issue here, device wipe and full setup did not help.

They really need to get a firmware update out for this and the Cell/Wifi drain issues.

I can do it on mine.

I just had to disable auto brightness.

I just fixed this problem. Just follow the initial steps when you boot up from fresh. The most important step is to insert a sim card and that will enable the brightness and screen timeout option.

follow the initial steps when you boot up from fresh

Like from when the phone is factory reset?

I have an LG 2X (basically a G2X) and skipped the start up part because I didn't have my sim activated (thus no internet or anything on it). My plan was, root the phone - which I've done, unlock it - waiting on the code, and then activate the sim and go back and do the set up stuff once my phone was at set up.

However now I see the brightness is having the problem described in the first post so I'm wondering if I should: factory reset (can I do this after it's rooted? should I unroot first?), should I unlock the phone or will the factory reset lose the fact that it's been unlocked? If I unlock should I factory reset after or can I just install a rom, will a rom fix this issue?

solved

you should insert your simcard, I had that problem before and after I insert simcard, it fixed
let's try
