camera sometimes breaks auto brightness

Good morning everyone :)

So I've noticed this since I was flashing nightlies, and I know it has been brought up at least one other time here - though I didn't see much discussion. Furthermore, I just noticed it last night on RC2.

So, the problem seems to be that occasionally, the camera app breaks auto brightness after closing the camera app. Of course the camera brings the screen to full brightness when launched for pretty obvious reasons, and when you close it, your brightness settings are supposed to be restored, but sometimes, and I'm not sure why it's only sometimes, but sometimes auto brightness is turned off and the screen stays at full brightness. You must then go back into settings and re-check the auto brightness checkbox. Thankfully with the new pulldown menu, this is a lot easier than it used to be, but still, it's a flaw.

Has anyone else noticed this? I created a bug report for this a while back, so please feel free to add comments there as well so all the devs can see it if this has affected you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
and it was even a good answer ! ;)

can you view netflix in landscape with all yer themes, mods, tweaks, etc. installed ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Sorry, I won't be able to tell you. I cancelled my Netflix account after they raise, excused me, hiked the price plans.

I think I'm going to remove the app, it's just taking up space at this point.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lrod0175:
Yes it was a good answer my friend, and not, U r not a chopped liver, lol, sorry I've had to say that.. You always being a helpful guy and in my view a great dude! he probably did not read before bumping the question.

Lrod's evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Yeah I am thinking about dropping also. But I won't til September when they raise it for existing members.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rlh82:
Personally, I don't pay for cable, so a lot of what I watch comes from Netflix. Even with a rate hike, I'm still paying a lot less than I would otherwise. Netflix, Hulu free, and OTA hd, all piped through my HTPC - cheap and reliable :P

Also there's always torrents if I miss something ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] treedog5:
netflix

i was under the impression that the netflix would be free if it was built into the rom. is that not the case?? i thought that because i kept seeing ppl posting roms that said with working netflix. i have a subscription right now so mine always worked, just thought those roms were for ppl who wanted to get it free.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
I thought they already did because my plan used to be $11.99 or something like that. However, when I looked at the section that showed me my current plan it said was now $15.99. :eek:

It also wasn't worth keeping because I don't watch movies at home that much anymore. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lrod0175:
I'm dropping the dvd service, but I will keep the streaming.

Lrod's evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] rlh82:
Nope. Those ROMs were just advertising that they had fixed the problem where the initial Gingerbread update killed netflix. Now they work together just fine, so really, those devs should take "Working Netflix!" out of their titles.

If you want to use the service, you have to log in and have a paid account.
[EVO 4G Android Development] treedog5:

ok thanks for clearing that up for me. guess i better keep my streaming feature, but got to drop the DVD part. these new price increases are a joke.:eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Netflix isn't free unless they're offering a "Trial Plan".

+1...What some of these services like Netflix don't realize is that their services are nonessential. So when cash is tight, these services are some of the first things people drop. Huge price hikes makes the decision much easier.

Thanks guys for helping me get a2sd working, its really nice. I love synergy but its very heavy on memory for the initial install. I have 1 more question about a2sd and then ill shut up about it :)

now that i have a2sd, if i do a factory wipe to install the newer beta, will i have to reinstall all my apps or will the rom just pick them up naturally?

almost 800 posts and still learning something new

thanks again
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Interesting fact: This seems to be a Sense 2.1 and above issue. It's even happening on the Evo3D (running stock until rooted).

If you're doing a full wipe you'll need to wipe sd:ext as well. That will nuke your apps and you'll need to reinstall.

If you have checked 'backup my apps' when you initially ran the HTC Setup they should reinstall themselves, but you'll have to reinstall the app data.

You COULD do a factory reset and leave sd-ext alone...I've seen that work. But I don't recommend it due to interesting bugs that seem to pop up when in that scenario.

Remember too that a FULL wipe is:

Factory reset

Dalvik

Cache

sd:ext

.android_secure

If using Amon-Ra a factory reset should format system and data, but to be sure you can just wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu but SDCARD and you'll be fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rlh82:
Aha! That makes sense (har-har) then why this hasn't been talked about more. I'll leave the devs to more worthy opponents, then, like the new "god mode" feature Myn suggested may be in our future.
[EVO 4G Android Development] marvinlh:
I just started a free trial yesterday, I like it so far
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
It's a nice service but the prices have raised a lot and I need to cut costs wherever I can.

When the prices go down again maybe I'll reconsider. :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] mutant13:

[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:

Thanks, I usually use calkins full wipe zip file. I will keep using titanium then :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mike Fitz:
I had the same issue on a different ROM after upgrading to a 32GB card and copying my card contents over to the new one. A couple of mp3 songs got corrupted during the copy I guess and would just randomly start playing although no music player was active. Pulling the notification bar would shut them off but it was really annoying.

I was able to figure out what songs they were and looking through the albums the songs were not showing up in the tracks. I deleted the albums and reloaded them and it stopped happening.

Also my default ringtone changed to an mp3 as well as a couple other notifications in Handcent. Kinda strange.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zookafg3:
Please help!

I am repeating my question from yesterday on post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15859766&postcount=7623!

Can anyone tell me how to install apps when system says "There is insufficient space on device"? I have DT a2sd and after running an a2sd check, all apps and private apps run from SD card, also cache is at cache partition.

I've been a Mynion for a long time, I know as a fact that this community always has the right attitude and correct answers and I thank you in advance for any heads-up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] treedog5:
quick question for anyone who may know the answer. i have been trying out different skins and 1 thing that i noticed was that even though the overall skin does change, all the icons in the titlebar stay the same. like in the screen shot for the pure black skin, it shows the gingerbread green batt and green signal meter icon. but when i chose that skin all my titlebars icons are still white. i did a reboot and that didnt help, does anyone know why that is??
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dredz:
I think you're confusing skins and themes.

:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lrod0175:
It seems u have over a gig of mem left in your partition, problably the system is not recognizing the free space, try running this command from TE first:

SU

A2sd forcecheck

then go to recovery and mount your sd card and sd ext, reboot. Please report back to us.

Move cache to internal and see if that doesn't fix your problem. As I understand it, dalvik gets larger with use and can fill up the cache partition. Let me know if I'm right. Just learning about it myself.

I've been using this skin if anyone wanted it. The only problem I came across is the fact that I'm unable to change the name of the apk. It'll replace the Warm Skin. @myn, do you think you could take time to change the name so it will not remove the Warm Sense Skin?

One of the most popular mods from my past roms has been the different workspace configurations. I am sure this will be quite popular.

Okay everyone I'm stumped! I'm trying to compile my new theme I finished last night and APK Manager is giving me the following errors:

com.htc.resources.apk\res\values\public.xml:3286: error: Public symbol string/drm_license_str declared here is not defined.

com.htc.resources.apk\res\values\public.xml:3755: error: Public symbol string/drm_normal_type_msg declared here is not defined.

Basically for every line of the public.xml file. I did my research and found out that the error means that apktool.jar v1.3.2 isn't compatible with aapt.exe v0.2. Does anyone have compatible versions of these tools.. or a fix or something?? Please help, my evo is all green and I need it to be red again! I promise I'll share :D

EDIT: Just unzipped a fresh ApkManager download with the same tool versions intact and it actually compiled this time! SUCCESS! So please disregard this post.. But keep an out for the next one ;)...

I read your response as well and thank you for posting an answer. Same goes to jjgrantham. I figured it would work fine but the origional description of netflix on rc2's rom is: "Added New Netflix with 1080p, Auto Rotation and Video Enhancement." ...so it sounds like netflix is an enhanced version that was built in. This is why i was curious as to whether or not i should upgrade it. Thanks again for your earlier reply....: )

So, I themed framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, SystemUI.apk, Rosie.apk, and HTCClockWidget.apk and pushed them all to the phone in recovery. Fixed permissions wiped Dalvik & Cache and rebooted. Now it's boot-looping at the boot animation. I'm about to push the original APKs and push the modded ones one-by-one starting with the ones without XML & smali edits to see which ones are causing the problems. Does anyone have any better suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] trollallot:
Try flashing them. Also I've been stuck on boot animation up to 10 minutes be patient it may come up.

Same Synergy boot animation, and the logo keeps flying up from the bottom every few seconds.. So I'm pretty sure it's boot-looping! lol. I had to do quite a few different XML & Smali edits and really don't know where to start. Unless... I did port the espresso rosie and tommy said to add a line to tell the rosie to center it if it doesn't span the width of the screen in portrait mode. I added the same line in the landscape mode file although I don't know if I was supposed to or not. You think that might be the problem?

I rebooted, but that did not help. In fact, I began receiving multiple FCs for both processes and apps. Also a lot of my apps were missing, including TB.

I restored the nandroid I made just before installing DT, my apps appear to be back, but I still receive "permission denied" when I type SU
