[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarol:
I noticed after playing a bit with my TF that the auto-brightness is a bit too dim than what I'd like. Definitely not nearly as bright as my EVO, iPad, or Nook Color. I ended up setting it fixed at half brightness. Anyone else agree/disagree?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albaholic:
I agree, it's a bit on the dark side but its not too bad.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilangoadigal:
Autobrightness is calibrated poorly on pretty much every device unfortunately, I'd guess the Transformer isn't all that different.

http://www.displaymate.com/AutoBrightness_Controls_2.htm
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] songmeesay:
I think the TF's screen is just dimmer as a whole (this is compared to my iPad 2). I don't mind it when doing things like surfing and email, etc. It only bothers me when I'm watching a movie because I have it set to about 90% brightness, which is pretty much even with my iPad 2 set at 60%, and the light bleeding is more apparent on the TF when set to that (this also makes the little home task bar buttons on the stock movie player more apparent as well. Why can't there be a movie player that just shows the movie and nothing else?)

I guess it makes sense though since the TF screen is bigger than the iPad 2's. Like in TV's; the smaller the screen, the brighter and better contrast they'll be.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kilmar:
I saw this also. I have auto brightness turned off and have it 1 click before max brightness.

I wonder if it could be dirt or grime covering the sensor next to the camera?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxp3:
I agree. I don't know why they don't let user pick the initial brigtness and based on that, adjust the lighting. It seems like an easy thing to do.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
I thought it never went below the value you set it at just prior to turning on AUTO.

IE- If you have it set at 50% and turning on auto it'll never go below the 50% mark.

I haven't messed about with auto since my first firmware so maybe they changed this in later ones.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] songmeesay:
I'm pretty sure it's reverse, as in you set the bar to the highest setting you want and it adjusts to the room settings without exceeding the highest point you set. That's how it works in my iPad 2 at least.

Edit: This is, indeed, how it works on the TF
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmeehl:
Not true. I just set mine to the lowest setting, then turned on the auto. It still brightens when there is light present.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brachiopod:
If you start testing with auto brightness, one thing that you need to be aware of that makes it hard to test is that the TF checks to see if it should increase brightness frequently, but it only checks to reduces brightness after the screen goes to sleep or a power off. So once it is bright it seems to stay that way.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] songmeesay:
I stand corrected. Looks like Auto, truly is, auto no matter where you set your point in the bar. I just set it on the highest and then hit auto and went into a darker part of the room and it did dim the screen down, and I did the reverse like you did and it adjusted brighter in a higher lit part of the room.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxp3:
I don't know if that is true, because if that was the case, it should be brighter most times. and less likely to dim, but I'm having the opposite effect.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarol:
So what's the final verdict. Will AB limit itself to whatever manual brightness you had set as the max or min?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] songmeesay:
From the testing I did, AB bypasses any setting you put on the bar and just adjusts to room light conditions.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
I just bought a B60 serial TF and it has the dim auto brightness issue too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoang51:
I have also experienced this dimmer than what I want the brightness to be when I set to auto issue. So I revert back to the default brightness setting that came with Android 3.1. Much better on my eyes.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knapz:
What are some roms with this setting? I liked CM7 and RG but they dont have this setting. Im on 200 mb plan and I meed this toggle to be able to MMS while mobile data network is off. Thx
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnote74:
If your on T-Mobile mms messaging doesn't go against your data limit, its included in your messaging plan.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knapz:
What I need is a toggle that allows me to MMS while having mobile data off. Maybe its a Sense only feature?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
sms/mms is not DATA...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJBunch1228:
Are you sure of this? If my wifi is on and I try to send/recv mms, the 3G lights up. It might not count count toward your data limit, but I think it does utilize your mobile data connection to send/recv mms. I believe the OPs concern is that they want mobile data off, but to be available on demand for sending/receiving mms. Correct me if I'm wrong...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
think about what you said for a minute. it is using your CELL, and not the wifi. if it was data it would just go over the wifi.

i can assure you that DATA and SMS/MMS are different. you can have SMS/MMS without having a data plan. dont forget there were cell phones before smart phones came around. ;)

dont believe me? just try it out for yourself. shut off all data and send/receive sms/mms. it works. i have many users with captivates that accidentally turn off their data but texting still works....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJBunch1228:
Your confident answer gave me a scare for a sec, because I thought you might be right. Unfortunately you are confused, and consequently wrong as a result.

I will however concede a point - TEXTING works without a data connection. That was never in question. Re-read my post and you'll see I only mention MMS. To send or receive MMS you MUST have a MOBILE data connection. The only possible caveat to this is that this may be T-Mobile only??? I do not have any other carriers to test it on, so you may be right if you have AT$T.

Either way - ATLEAST for T-mo - mobile data must be active to send or receive MMS. If you are on WiFi, and try to send or receive MMS, it will enable mobile data to make that transaction happen. You do not have to have a data plan in order to use MMS, but mobile data must be enabled on the phone. I tested this personally as well as googled the subject to corroborate and compare my results. To quote someone's reasoned response that I found on the interwebz:

"Just to confirm, MMS can not be sent over Wi-Fi. The phone must have access to a carrier's network (its own or roaming) to send. The MMSC has a list of acceptable IP ranges to accept from and well when using Wi-Fi, it is not on that list . Plus if it did send over Wi-fi, the MMSC would not be able to identify correctly where the message is coming from and will not know whether it is a true message or spam."

You are right though, your Captivate using buds are able to send texts while mobile data is off, due to the obvious fact that texting doesn't use mobile data.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knapz:
This is correct and what I'm experiencing. I'm on T-Mobile, have 200 MB data plan, using CM7 and RG, I want to be able to turn data off but have it come on automatically for mms (not SMS). I know mms does not count towards data usage but I still would want to be able to control it. I've tried apndroid and data toggle widget to no success.

Fyi if I go into CM7 network settings and uncheck data the mms will not send and will stay in "sending" mode

If I go into miui or evil 4g HD mobile settings I can unchecked data and CHECK enable alwayson data and my mms will work and my browser wont since data is off
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
you are both right. i apologize. i tested this out on my captivate to my desire z. texting works fine, but as you said, MMS doesnt work.

what you want to do sounds like something that can easily be done with tasker. you could have a shortcut on your homescreen that launched a task (enabling data long enough for your MMS). there are probably other variables that could be used in this as well...tasker is extensive.

I updated to Flash 10.3 and everything worked fine. Then Android 3.1 for my Verizon 3G Xoom. Now my stock browser closes out by itself, as does Dolphin, AND Firefox. The stock browser doesn't give a 'Submit Report' window but the other two do. I have cleared cache, history, etc on all 3.

It try going to the same page after crash and sometimes it will work for 10 seconds or so then crash/close out. Can someone please help, I use it for web more than anything. Greatly appreciated.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popug:
No one has any ideas? I even just rooted and tried to fix it by putting different kernel, still nothing. Clean 3.1 even w/o flash installed still closes the stock browser w/o a crash screen report. Any help appreciated
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el-zilcho:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popug:
I did that a couple times, also re-flashed stock image and then upgraded to 3.1. The video is so much smoother which is why I'd like to keep 3.1 and not revert to 3.0.1.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treyatl2006:
you sure it isn't a bad app you installed. Ive gotten maybe 1 crash since the 3.1 update. Way more stable than 3.0.1 it could also be a bad widget.

Ok, so I am looking for something temporary that makes it easy to take the tablet out and use and i think i prefer not having a zipper because i just dont think metal needs to be anywhere near the tablet when it comes to a case. So I am thinking about one of the 3 cases and they are all under $10. Free 2 day shipping with amazon prime as well. My biggest concerns with them though is that they might be to big. I dont want the tablet sliding around in it. Here are the options i have found so far:

http://www.amazon.com/Envelop-Neopr...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1305695940&sr=1-39

http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-K6...2-Inch/dp/B002NU5R3A/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

http://www.amazon.com/Asus-T101MT-E...TF8&coliid=I3ULO79FFYTHW8&colid=3V2S2G7N6FICX

I am kind of leaning towards the Asus one above, but the envelope style one might be nice. I didnt find any in the compatible thread that fit my needs. I will probably be getting a dock (whenever best buy has them available as i have a $100 BB gift card to burn there), nothing is in stone yet. I really wanted a case with a stand, but the asus transformer one seems like crap and the price is to high and doesnt work with the dock.

Help me make a decision as i have been shopping to long. =) I could just buy 2 of the 3, but i dont want to waste money either and Im not one to return a $10 item. I am open to other ideas as well. Thanks!

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] sackofnoise:
Just ordered one from ebay for 10" netbook, should only have 2cm more than the transformer on the width... should fit great with the keyboard dock and only 3.28$

Here is the link for anyone interested, (also, does anyone actually tried those sleeve and how did it fit, i am waiting for my dock to come in but the dimensions should fit or be really close...)

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250759188954#ht_4779wt_1035

as for the messenger bag, i would have definately got one from amazon but i am in canada and the shipping is monstruous and the ones from amazon.CA are 3-4 times the price :( so i am looking on ebay...

If you are Sam's Club member

I found a sleeve at Sam's Club for 7.88 by Case Logic. Zips shut and has a small pocket on the front the cord and power supply (I keep an micro fiber cloth for cleaning the display also). Works great with the tablet and keyboard.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] MACscr:
I ended up getting the Asus one as it was only about $12 after overnight shipping. Will update you guys on how it fits.
[Vibrant General] tKoHaXoR:
I miss the Super amoled screen :(

Pros:

FFC

HSPA+

LED FLASH

FM RADIO

Physical Buttons + Dedicated Camera Button

Great build quality

Cons:

No Super Amoled Screen

No 16GB Internal Memory

No more Bionix :/

I don't regret it as much but going from a Super Amoled screen to a standard screen really made me realize how great my Sammy Vibe really was! I took it for granted!! You will be missed! (EXCEPT THE GPS ISSUE)

Well i jumped ship.. can't wait for the SGS2 though! Hope to catch up with some of you guys later in the SGS2/HTC SENSATION threads!

Goodbye!

Especially you s15274n. You have been really helpful! Without you knowing. lol

The bionix team and whitehawkxx wish you guys the best.

heading over the the MT4G/Glacier forum now. Peace!
[Vibrant General] krazie1:
Yeah i feel you man. My wife got a Mytouch 4G and its really nice, i mean really nice, but the Samsung Vibrant has the better screen with the Internal Storage that came way in handy for me. I rooted her mytouch 4g up already and put on some Gingerbread which i love with everything working, and the Vibrant still dont have everything working on Gingerbread. Well i guess ill be seeing you over there. I go from the Vibrant forums to the Mytouch 4g forums, switching out like crazy. =D
[Vibrant General] Longcat14:
Well except for the GPS (which sucks on the Vibrant anyways haha), our CM7 is basically complete.

I'll probably stay with this phone and wait for the Samsung Hercules to come out. ^^
[Vibrant General] krazie1:
Yeah true its just GPS not working. But also the Battery drain on the phone is terrible, which is really irritating. But once battery drain is fixed then i'll probably be back on CM7 or MIUI. :)
[Vibrant General] Longcat14:
Battery drain is a problem?

Wait, I have an extended battery, so I completely forgot. *facepalm*

Sucks, but if I didn't have this battery, I always have a place to charge the phone. And I heard the drain isn't as bad as it used to be.
[Vibrant General] TheSneakerWhore:
It is still pretty bad...All CM7 running devices have pretty crappy battery-life (I have 3: N1, Vibrant, MT4g.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
people you are too impatient. Just when they get the software for the Vibrant Humming you all jump ship.......... Hercules and the S2 will be out in the next 30 days and then, we will have something really to go too.........

Wanting always is better than the having.......... patience
[Vibrant General] tKoHaXoR:
I agree with you, but since i didn't buy a new phone and simply traded i feel that jumping ship wasn't a bad choice. I still plan to upgrade!

Also the MT4G can be resold for a higher price than the Vibrant on craigslist.

BTW... WINNING!
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
To any CM7 users of vibrant and another phone with CM7(nexus one,MT4g,G2 etc.) are there any other difference in speed? I'm using Cm7 on vibrant but i can't compare it cause it's my only phone.
[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
I picked up a g2 for cheap but still have my vibrant. I don't know what all the fuss was about. This doesn't feel any faster than my kb5 vibrant, and the "build quality" just makes it feel heavy and bulky. Its a decent phone overall, but not any better overall than my vibrant.
[Vibrant General] tKoHaXoR:
Traded the Mytouch 4G for a G2.. G2 is a way better phone than the Mytouch 4G. Some people don't miss keyboards.. but you are crazy not to have a keyboard!! Bought the game gripper and wow.. just wow. The G2 is an overall fun phone and great speed/development/great everything!! :) Even the hinges on this unit are amazingly stronger than the other g2's i have used.
[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
I really like my wifes mt4g. I began to dislike my G2 before I sold it. It felt like a phone meant for someone that doesn't know how to dress themself. It's hard to explain.

My Vibrant is starting to get old, but I have a sgs4g on the way that should renew my interest in the galaxy line.
[Vibrant General] lotherius:
Not quite sure what about the SGS 4G would renew your interest in comparison to the Vibrant, unless you are in a 4G area and just really CRAVE the extra bandwidth so much that you won't miss the internal 16GB from the Vibrant (4G only has 1GB internal).. And of course, FFC.... which really AFAIC is a "bell and whistle" that 99% of people use once and never use again.

There is also very very very little development going on with it...

[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Add the bad/good screens, dust under the screen issues, bad eMMC chips that are said to cause bricking, creaky buttons on a few units, and off centered FFCs on a few. I wanted to trade as well, but a look at the forums steered me right away.
[Vibrant General] MailenJokerbell:
Well, the only phone I'm moving to when I get the chance is the SGSII, no matter what.

I love HTC phones but plenty of those are CDMA only and that doesnt work in my country :[
[Vibrant General] mickeysirena:
I bought the mytouch4g back in January and it was so great to have a phone that worked well right out the box and every custom gingerbread rom I've put on it has ran smoothly. However, I find myself constantly going back to my Vibrant. I miss the screen and I feel like the Vibrant has a lot more devs working on roms. I was just about to sell my Vibrant so I could have a few extra bucks when I read about the GPS fix. If I can find the perfect Gingerbread rom I will be keeping my vibrant until Samsung releases a dual-core phone for T-Mobile.

for launcher switching I like to use homesmack ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.homesmack&feature=search_result ). It's free. I should disclaim that it's the only one i've ever used so I dont' know if there may be a better one.. but this one does what it says with a nice UI.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
What do you mean by rear lcd? I know there is BLN, but that requires root I believe. Don't know of any others. Someone suggested making the LED flash into a notification light, but I don't think anyone has made one for the NS.

I would think the LCD is more of a battery waste then the screen running.

BLN is the way to go.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmorisol:
The screen uses the most battery on the phone constantly. There should be plenty of people who do not want to root their phone who would benefit from an app that uses the rear camera lcd as a notification lcd.

OP use BLN it uses the light source from the capacitive keys not the screen and you can customize

also using the camera LED you would have to have your phone face down to see IMO its un natural considering the phone has a curve to it and inconvenience not to mention the risk of scratching if you dont have a case
