Hi guys, i have an issue to fix..i leave the autobrightness on but often i get the display underbrightened, especially in the daylight..i don't know if is ok to disable the autobtightness because now the battery lasts for over 3 days!

thank you and sorry for my english :)
[Galaxy S II General] kryptoner:
Autobrightness, when enabled, will take 2-4 seconds to adjust the brightness... so you feel its underbrightened...you can disable it and keep brightness maximum, then it will surely decrease the battery life
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
OP - also make sure you are not holding the phone by the ambient light sensor when the auto brightness is not bright enough for you.
[Galaxy S II General] LightspeedGalaxy:
As far as I know "Auto adjust screen power" will limit the maximum available brightness, so you might try to turn it off.
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
Do you know if the option to save energy for the screen actually saves energy?
[Galaxy S II General] dreamon85:
where is it exactly?
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
One of the sensors to the left from the ear piece. If you grab the phone with your fingers on top and bottom, like in landscape mode, you can easily cover the sensor. Also some thick cases can cast shadow in the area of the sensor and throw off the autobrightness.

But yes, also make sure you have power saving mode off.
[Galaxy S II General] dreamon85:
ok thanks to you all, i'll try turning down power saving..i'll let you know!
[Galaxy S II General] sunseaker:
I'm glad I came across this tread as I noticed this too on my phone and started thinking it was a bug. I definitely am not covering the sensor and even placed the phone in direct sun light. I'll try turning the power saving off and see how it affects battery life and the brightness.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Power Saving Mode has nothing to do with brightness unless someone manually modify it.

Guys I hagve been reading this site for 2 days and am still very very confused as to actually move forward.

Been following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=945427

Step by step even though there is no explaination as to why I do things And everytime I am thinking "do they mean i do this now???"

I mean a tutuorial for noobs should tell me this stuff????

So I got to here:

From the guide

5. install maglard 1.13 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893618

Run romupdateutility.exe as an admin and install

Now my phone not getting past HTC splash screen.

No numbers showing radio version or anything.

PLEASE - I am willing to take this step by step.., what is the next step I should take to get my phone working with a Android rom?

I thanks you in advance for any assitance. I am probably too frustrated to help myslef at this point. I have loaded custom firmwares on my iphones but this HTC process is doing my head in and the guides and youtube vids are not helping.

THE ONLY reason I am trying a new rom is I have a Telstra HD2 and not a Telstra sim. It seemed to want to use Telstra for data, and I was advised the easiest (ha!0 way to do this is get a cooked rom and load it.

Thanks for your help.

I would recommend getting the hd2 tool kit of my signature and download your winmo version of htc site, run task 29 on the tool kit then flash win mo, then start again, SORRY if i have answered to you incorrect kind of in rush so i quick read :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cheech1976:
If the last step you took was to install magldr, of course your phone won´t boot, since you didn´t flash any build the phone could run on?

Or have i missed something?

Normaly, if you are setting things up to install some android build you have to run a file called daf.exe (only as an example, i´ve been flashing just one particular build with magldr), that daf.exe will partition the nand according to the needs of the build, that particular daf.exe was delivered with.

Now you have to enter "ad recovery" from the magldr menu (power on and keep power button pushed) and from there you would have to install from zip.

Have you been that far taking all the necessary steps? Leaving out the nand partitioning with the daf.exe is a common mistake i have read often about.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HTC_Pain:
Thanks so much for those posts.

I think I have damaged the phone now trying things ..!

OK it has been 3 days and nights of trying stuff, let me try and summarise where I am at.

I managed to get magldr working, and used the menus to browse to a ZIP rom on the SD card and flashed it.

It was stuck in a continuous boot loop - see Andriod splash for about 10 secs, then reboot, repeats...

The best way forward from what I could read in threads was to just re install a stock ROM and start again, and try another cooked ROM. It was during this process that it failed, it now seems to have NO firmware on it, as I do not get any radio version numbers or anything.

NOW when I boot the phone - I cannot get magldr. It just goes to the white HTC splash screen and hangs forever.

Everything I try to flash now is stuck at 0% and never completed.

THE ONLY thing I seem to be able to install / get to talk to the HD2 is HSPL4, which when completed gives me the "WE HACKED IT" message. Apart from that I cannot install radios, roms or MAGLDR.

However the MAGLDR flash process DOES show 100% completion, I just cant get it to load by holding power button. As I mentioned above, I DID have MAGLDR working previously but wont play ball now.

Thanks for any tips, I think I need to not look at it for a while.

UPDATE = for some reason, it is now accepting the stock Telstra ROM flash process...?

STILL NO MAGICLDR so I cant load my cooked ROMS.. any suggestions are hugely appreciated.

Hi,

I would suggest KEVIN134's TOOLKIT (Don't forget to thank him)

Read the thread carefully and follow his step by step guide for beginners.

Try to install one of his suggested ROMS.You can always change it at a later date.

At least you will have something.

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HTC_Pain:
OK thanks. I have now gotten original Telstra ROM back. I hope to start fresh in the morning and follow your link to the letter. I hope it is a good guide for beginners, as so many other seem to claim that and have no plain english steps or screenshots. I truly appreciate your post, cheers.

Tried that app, it cannot find any of the apps it tries to install/use? Maybe I need sleep.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cheech1976:
You are talking about HSPL4, i would suggest you use HSPL3 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6894936&postcount=2).

You know how to flash back to stock winmo? Hold the volume down button while turning on the phone to enter the boot loader, connect with USB and wait for confirmation on the screen below (serial changes to usb), and then flash the stock Rom.

I never used the toolkits, never needed them so i would propose the following steps for you, to start from scratch (so we can take it step by step together, i think we need to have the same base to be able to make a statement about your phone).

After flashing WinMo Stock Rom, install HSPL3 (the one in the linke above, HSPL3_PKG.exe).

Then use task29 to flash the 2.15.50.14 radio.

After that install MAGLDR113 and then, if i were you :D, i would install coredroid v1.6. (http://hotfile.com/dl/113345298/fb3f69b/HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.6_Release_Version.rar.html)

To do that, enter the magldr menu by keeping the power button pressed while turning on your phone, enter USB Flasher from the menu and after connection has been established, run the DAF.exe which will partition the NAND for you.

After that reboot into cwm, enter the usb mass storage option, copy the zip file on the sd card and from there install from zip.

This procedure has worked every single time for me, maybe it will for you, too?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HTC_Pain:
Thanks for offering to walk me through this, you have saved my sanity.

OK I am back to stock WinMo Rom.

I have HSPL3 installed (not 4, 3 as you say).

"Then use task29 to flash the 2.15.50.14 radio"

You might have to explain this to my feeble mind. I thought task29 deleted all data? How would it upgrade the radio?

Thanks again

AB
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cheech1976:
Task 29 can be used to flash the radio as well, so these two steps can be taken as one.

All you would have to do is copy the radio in the same directory as the rest (task29) and rename it to RUU_signed.nbh, so this procedure will install the new radio as well.

Take that one from here:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HTC_Pain:
Thanks for that extra step explained...

I have read the thread, and downloaded the ZIP that was linked that has task 29 and the radio together. About to do it now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cheech1976:
Very cool :) Congratulations :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HTC_Pain:
Cheech your help was awesome, it has been your posts that meant I have had a phone for the past week.

Now not wanting to sound ungrateful, but I have to report that ROM you suggested runs really bad on my HD2. Very laggy, even to unlock the screen will hang 2 time out of 3. Oh well, I am starting to learn the same rom on the same hardware can act very differently.. sad face.

If I had to state the function I HAVE to have in my ROM it would be obviously good phone and text ability, music player with resume and bluetooth, a browser, email client, and something to play videos.

Is there a very lightweight ROM that will give me the above functions but maybe run a little better on my HTC HD2 (and are as easy to install as the one I have already tried)? Thanks heaps for any tips.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HTC_Pain:
I jumped in, and using your great direction from before have a new rom on my HD2...

NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.8_NAND_(Android-2.3.4)_update

Wow, so much faster and snappier. Love the way Google resynced my apps and some settings!!

Gonna play with this for another few days.

EDIT: seems there is always something.. this ROM not finding my Wireless network. Finds all the ones around me but just wont find mine - even with apps to manage it. My kingdom for a lean ROM for my HD2!!!

Edit 2: Turns out Android 2.3 sets the WiFi channels to end at 11.

Our wireless was higher than that.

Advanced settings and increasing the WIFI channels to the full 14, saw my network straight away.

Took quite a bit of Googling to figure that one out. :)

I liked this rom. stable and working well.

My ideos has melfas touchscreen and your rom doesn't work the multitouch.

is the driver only for synaptics or i did something wrong?

Thanks for the work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paok96:
Melfas touchscreen

Multitouch is working only with Synaptics yet i've didn't found anythink yet working with melfas touchscreen but i'm searching it!

I will release a new version where everythink would be new!, perhaps not be froyo but gingerbred i don't know yet!

For now the only you can do is to use the rom without multitouch :(

OpenGL ES 2

Hi

Thank you for the last answer.

I searched for some information about OpenGL ES 2 on IDEOS e didn't find anything.

I would like to know if is possible install or "do work" OpenGL ES 2 on my IDEOS.

A lot of apps on Play Google is not compatible with IDEOS because can't find OPENGL ES.

I don't know why you can't install some of the apps from the google play! If you re-install the rom this will be fixed!

And as i'm writing in a previous post new Update coming soon with new features!

for now this rom is in beta mode!:rolleyes:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paok96:
Failed installation

Well, this can be caused by wrong installation i'd rather you to re-install the rom but before you do it from the recovery FORMAT all the partitions except sd card! :P you can do this from the choice "mount and restore" in there you can format each partition alone!

I suggest you to format all of them except sd-card!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
people are viewing it they just havent left comments.

it's not as complicated as it might sound, when i helped people do the odin method on captivates i always got comments like "wow, easiest rom flash ever" especially if it was after restoring from a brick because you didnt have to log into google to install rom manager(not aplicable on the infuse but people on the captivate had a habit of using master clear in odinoneclick which cleared the update.zip and all files on the sdcard) you can make it even easier with a restore from a brick by replacing the zimage in the .tar file in 7zip.

there is nothing hard about the way people are doing this now individually but it seems quicker to me to 1 flash kernel 2 flash rom

than to 1 root 2 install 3e without sig check 3 install rom manager 4 flash cwm recovery 5 flash rom.

[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
What makes you think drivers exist? If there are Linux drivers available, you might be able to port them, but then what? You'll also need an app capable of decoding the data from the device, and tuning in to the needed frequencies. Such a thing doesn't exist on Android at the moment.
