Hang on a second...I don't see what you trying to achieve out by this? :confused:

Apart from in direct sunlight the screen is easily bright enough. We spend most of the time trying to minimize the screen brightness in an attempt to minimize the biggest battery consumer - which is the screen. I've read several posts complaining that the Auto-Brightness setting is in fact too bright and several people have hacked the code so that it displays dimmer settings by default.

So why would you want a brighter screen? do you live a desert? :rolleyes:

I'm not intending to have a pop, just trying to understand, if it's simply because our device scores less than the others....Who cares! :)

ps

Whats a nit? I thought that was something children get in their hair?
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
It was partly curiosity (as I was under the impression that the SLCDs should similar, if not the same, brightness levels) and partly because I find myself in sunny situations where I can't see the screen quite often.

And a nit is basically 1 candela per square meter, a measure of screen brightness.
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
Well, I have it set to auto brightness, but even when on full, it doesn't take much sun - take today, overcast bright - to render the screen all but unreadable.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I'm not going to disagree with you on that :), as I myself also find the device pretty un-usable outdoors....even in the UK weather. Although it is possible when at full brightness.

In fact I'm pretty sure that I've simply trained myself not to use the phone outdoors just for that reason.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
So back to my original query

Does anyone know any type of hack that allows pushing the brightness beyond 100%?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hn0n1:
I bought an Asus Transformer here in the UK about a week or so ago, only to get it home and try all the Rooting / Downgrading methods (Aaarghhh, Damn B70 version), pity I didn't know sooner.

Anyway I've decided to buy another one from Staples and give this one to my brother, I got the guy instore to check the serial number for me and he's put a B60 one away for me to pick up tomorrow, but before I buy it, I'd just like to check, are all the B60's Rootable and Downgradable. I'd hate to waste another £350.

I have looked for info on this but can't seem to find the info I need. Also the power drain issue on the B60's, is this something that still exists after installing a new ROM, or is there another way around it...

Thanks ...John...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruuuno:
I have a B60 rooted..but I don't know if every B60 could be rooted..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
All B6O's can. The key change happened during the B7O run.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steini81:
No Problem, all B6O are rootable. The locked SBK starts with the latest B7O models the first B7O's are rootable too.

I have a B5O tab and a B6O dock and there is no powerdrain problem.

You can buy a B6O without having any problems with rooting and flashing rom's.

Have fun with your new rooted Transformer and sorry for my bad english :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hn0n1:
For some reason I've already posted this and it didn't work, but...

Thanks for the info, at least I can go and buy my new one without that annoying niggle in the back of my mind.

I was just wondering, though. Apart from the secure boot key, are the B60 & B70 tablets the same, and if not, what are the difference between the two. I,ve heard some stories of creaky cases and speaker imbalance problems..

Thanks ...John...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steini81:
The problem with the cases and speakers can happen with all TF tabs (incl. B7O). For the speaker problem the Update 3.2 should help. If not the custom Rom will solve the problem.

I'm happy with mine it's 100% o.k. No creaky case, no lightbleed, no batterydrain and no speaker problem.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hn0n1:
Just a quick update, I bought the new transformer, and I've successfully managed to root it and also installed CWM.

I'm still running the stock ROM at the moment, time to go to bed I think, got work in the morning. :-( I'll try the Revolver ROM tomorrow when I get home.

Thanks for all the info, up to now everything seems OK with it, none of the previously mentioned problems.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davy49:
Hello All,

So far..my biggest concern with the android operating system is the lack of support for being able to print. I don't know if I'm posting this in the correct forum or not, but if I'm not..I'm sure the moderators will move it to the proper one. I have a android tablet, that I surely wish I could utilize the usb 2.0 port for my printing needs. At the present time..the only way that I can print is by using a program called PrinterShare, it utilizes available printers on my network. I hope SOMEDAY...this might be corrected.

Thanks,

David :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teract:
market[dot]android [dot] com/details?id=epson.print&feature=search_result

Right now it's more about what printer you buy. Epson has fairly good support for Android devices with their new app. Mixing printers and mobile devices is still in it's fledgling stages, I expect that next year we'll start seeing "android" compatible as a common marketing term for most printers.

Unfortunately most printer manufacturers would rather make consumers buy a new printer rather than create compatible drivers for legacy devices.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davy49:
Hi your reply really makes sense ....I guess for now I'll just have to be patient .

Hello, i want to report kernel bug but first i should do a log. How can i do it?
[General Questions and Answers] wikaman:
ok i have seen the noob video and i honestly feel i have exhausted every option both here and on the web by just searching google with the errors i have seen. so i think this permits me to start a thread to get help for my specific problem.

was tryna update to gingerbread and it crashed.

1. tried going back to froyo, sw upgrade gave me a binary error. then i tried to flash the tar from the sw upgrade folder with odin and it fails everytime apparently when it tries to flash a recovery file.

2. tried flashing a rooted gingerbread and it passed but screen goes blank after first screen on startup

3. tried something from samfirmware and it failed and made the screen blank so i cudnt see anything.

4. came back here with help of someone. found gingerbread with signed bootloaders and it fixed the blank screen thing. but when i try to flash the tar with or without bootloaders. it fails at hidden.rfs.

5. tried takin the hidden file out. and it passed and i flashed dbdata but recovery mode gives me a tonne of red lines about errors in wiping factory data and tha cache. so still no boot. im out of option.

sorry for the long post but thought id list out what i did so far. need your helps guys. please.

Samsung Galaxy S II on AT&T: 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen, available September 18th

You can forget the rumored “Attain” branding, because AT&T is taking the same tack as T-Mobile on this one and leaving the name of its own Samsung Galaxy S II untouched. As with its counterparts on T-Mobile and Sprint, AT&T’s version of the S II features an 8-megapixel autofocus rear camera with flash and 1080p video capture, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, and the latest generation of TouchWiz atop Android 2.3. What’s different here, though, is that AT&T opted for a 4.3-inch version of the lauded Super AMOLED Plus display — the same as Samsung’s European S II variants — whereas Sprint and T-Mobile are both using a 4.5-inch component. Interestingly, AT&T’s is also the thinnest, so they claim: 8.89mm, versus Sprint’s 0.38 inches (9.65mm). T-Mobile hasn’t specified their dimensions just yet.

As for the processor, Samsung’s proud of this one: they’re using a homegrown Exynos dual-core model clocked at 1.2GHz. Some other versions of the S II have used a Tegra 2 — and granted, the Tegra 2 is no slouch in its own right, but we’re told to expect some truly magnificent performance on this model. Look for it to land on September 18th with pricing to be announced later.

Guys, yours best bet is Amazon Wireless. They will have it on the release date probably for $100, 1 week after for $50, 2-3 weeks after for free! (actually for $0. 01). Same happened last year. Btw you can try to price match it in the store.

Add a new line. It cost $10 per month which is $240 for 2 years. This way you can get a S2 for $100 with current promotion from At&t. Off course, as soon you get the phone cancel $15 data plan on the new line.
