[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kzoak82:
Is the screen brightness supposed to drastically change when auto brightness is enable. I've been playing around with it and noticed that when auto brightness is enable the screen will drastically change in different lighting conditions (with a couple second delay) For example, ill walk into a darker room the screen will get a lot dimmer after a couple of seconds and v-versu. The reason I asked is that my eco 4g would gradually adjust to point t where I didn't even notice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] conscio:
I've noticed it rapidly changing like it can't decide a few times, and overall it's a bit too dim outdoors. Coming from an Evo as well and I never noticed it changing either.

Just going to keep an eye on it, not a huge issue for me. Might see if there's any way to override and manually specify the auto brightness thresholds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TabsAZ:
There's a second setting called "Auto adjust screen power" further down on the display page - it could be that. It's some sort of thing that analyzes what's actually on the screen and tries to adjust for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hicdub:
I think it may just be a samsung thing. I have a Galaxy Tab 7" and I noticed that it was doing this as well, and it drove me crazy. I just went into settings>display>brightness and turned it down manually to just under halfway indoors and if I know Im going outside, i turn it all the way up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Ive also noticed thst it was auto adjusting even when i had it disabled which was probablt the "power adjustment" thing... But once i caught it turning the brightness down to "prevent overheating"!?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hicdub:
Really?! Thats bizarre. I wonder if it will constantly have the screen down while wireless tether is running.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kzoak82:
Thanks. I also have auto adjust disabled. Since others are seeing it then I assume its a Samsung thing. Ill wait to see if others confirm. BTW this may just be me being a geek. I notice every little thing. The other is that the buttons at the bottom of the phone aren't as sensitive as the eco.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
A tip I read somewhere but haven't tried yet is to turn auto brightness off and when you do, hold down on the notification bar (don't pull it down, just hold a finger on it) and slide left or right to adjust brightness on the go. Not for sure if it works but give it a try (I'm chargin my phone while it's off now so I can't yet).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joshpdavis80:
It works. I just tried it. That is pretty cool!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kzoak82:
Worked for me too. That's great. Thanks. Where did you read that? Are there other tips?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
This was a feature in the original epic as well. It is pretty cool. I just use this to change brightness . The only time i change is when i go out in the sun.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Can't remember anymore besides the screen shot one which has been mentioned. Tap home and the power button simultaneously. Also can't remember where I read it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sweet21:
I would honestly say its a combination of things BC I have used roms where its totally obvious (on froyo) where on others its completely impossible to notice the change.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
They kept the good features from the Epic. I like the feature in "Contacts" where you can swipe right on a contact to call them and left to send a message as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] a63548:
I've had the brightness at the max, and turned off the Auto Adjust Screen Power option. Just while browsing XDA the screen dimmed, and when looking at the brightness setting it states "To avoid overheating, maximum brightness has been reduced.". This has happened at least three different times.

I'm hoping this isn't a serious issue. Have you had it do that multiple times for you as well?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Please don't take this the wrong way but the dev community is actively trying to get all manufacturers to allow for unlocked bootloaders and one of the main things most of us are willing to forfeit is our warranties so when someone decides to voluntarily do something that is known to void the warranty and then try to trick the manufacturer into fixing their phone under said warranty it hurts our argument. We all made the choice when we unlocked our phones so it is only fair that we take responsibility for our decisions.

Hopefully, in the future we can come to an agreement with manufacturers that there is an "opt-in" option for unlocking our phones and as long as we stay within the confines of the agreement then we can still have the option to have the phone serviced for physical defects.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SErooted:
I'm going to have to second this. as much as i dislike the "unlocked" at the top of my screen i made this choice. little did i know that it would actually say this when done:-( however rooting, rom, bootloader unlock, other mods done by us, unfortunately void our warranty.

however.... if you wanted a device that you could unlock bootloader or what not. you should have went with an inspire as you can turn s-on after being s-off and flash back to stock firmware. therefore in essence. not be hurting the valiant efforts of our communtiy to get the manufacturers to allow us more exploration.

I do feel your pain, yet like stated in every thread for rooting and romming and bootloader..... YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOID!!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sass86:
It actual says may void warranty. I think until there is some agreement made, we don't have any rules regarding this. I mean unlocking the bootloader doesn't make some of the defects happen. As an American with consumer rights, I will hold them responsible, but only if not directly from my mingling. Also I have read that moto has fixed phones with unlocked bootloaders.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magecca:
+1

"May" is not synonymous with "will." People continue to misinterpret those terms.

If unlocking the BL absolutely voided your warranty, they would have indicated as such with a term that meant "will."
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SErooted:
I stand corrected. The point is valid.... "may" and "will" are different words and meanings.

However most times when the statement made by a corporation that includes "may" or "might" means you are out of luck.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Not to argue, because I do agree with you but in legal terms the word "may" does not mean the same thing as the normal definition.

may v. a choice to act or not, or a promise of a possibility, as distinguished from "shall" which makes it imperative. 2)

in statutes, and sometimes in contracts, the word "may" must be read in context to determine if it means an act is optional or mandatory, for it may be an imperative.

The same careful analysis must be made of the word "shall." Non-lawyers tend to see the word "may" and think they have a choice or are excused from complying with some statutory provision or regulation.

The underlined part highlights how they would see it as it implies you are making the choice to void your warranty.

Now, this is how I see it because I tend to think most definitions regarding legal terms is in place to protect companies and not consumers so if someone could elaborate and prove me wrong, I invite it with open mind. :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Lol, you read all my other posts about this in the past 30 minute and still dont understand you voided your warrenty DA!? I dont care if you do or dont get service for your voided phone, and Im not gonna argue about the word may. I dont care. What i do care about is checking XDA without seeing the same GD threads over and Fing over again because DAs like you refuse to use the Fing search button. SMC.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malickie:
lol funny arguments gotta love em. For one hiding the Unlock really doesn't matter considering I have returned one Atrix to where I bought it and they didn't care. Secondly Motorola has the "Choice" to deny you warranty repairs but they MAY accept the warranty repair and third they could always, if the phone was returned, reflash the bootloader to Lock it again. Plan and simple easy answer is it is ultimately up to Motorola if they want to repair it or not once it is unlocked.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
I'm not talking about personal experience, it's about assuming responsibility for your actions. My whole point is accountability, there are people all the time trying to take advantage of the system and end up ruining it for everyone else. Society is fostering an entire generation of vain and spoiled derelicts.

You are right though, it could all come down to who you run into while trying to have your phone repaired.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malickie:
True more or less. Society is propagating the problem but it really starts with the way the government is running things as a whole. Not saying it's right but until something changes in society and the government it's just all down hill. Also if you look deeper banks have a Major role as well. Anyway enough on off topic issue's there yea I do believe it is ultimately up to Motorola whether they will repair the device or not. I would assume they would probably deny the repair if it had something to do with the actual Software of the phone considering you messed with it, hardware probably different considering software usually doesn't blow up hardware.

some name calling, discussion about morality, the meaning of the word "may", society, laws, government, companies
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baddiejang:
to TS,

try 'accidentally' sinking your Atrix in the ocean for a minute, and then claim your warranty?

or try 2 cover it with your thumb while booting?

to others,

help TS, (like me?), don't condemn everything about what he had done in the past.

maybe, he's your friend next door, a helping hand's neighbor?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Please show me where it states all these things, (rooting, ROMs', bootloader unlock, and 'other' mods), void our warranties.

Also, for the bootloader, as was already stated, it does say MAY void your warranty. The reason it says 'may' is in all probability because if your phone doesn't work/stops working for some reason they legally cannot refuse to warranty it unless they can attribute the problem to the act of unlocking the bootloader. Someone else stated in another thread that it really is not in Motorolas' best interest to start messing with people for unlocking bootloaders when they send in phones for repair. I would tend to agree with this. After reading all the threads I have seen over the last few months, I can't remember reading about anyone who has been declined warranty or been made to pay for repairs because they unlocked their bootloader. To the contrary there are many stories of people getting their phones back fully repaired and still unlocked with no issues.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
I would love to see an agreement put in place that allows us to have "hardware" still under warranty regardless of "software".

You're right about Motorola should not reject people for warranty repairs, they still have a lot of work to do in rebuilding customer relations and their public image.

I would not care at all about people using their warranties if they just did it but I don't like all the threads discussing how to "dupe" Motorola because they made a conscious decision to unlock their bootloader knowing it "may" void their warranty. And don't get me wrong, I'm not siding with Motorola on the issue, I just believe people should fully understand the implications of their choices and until there is a set agreement on the issue then people should just accept the outcomes.

Also, people should continue to actively pursue getting these policies overturned by companies like Motorola and AT&T. The community has made great strides over the past year and we need to keep pushing. :)

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phalanx7621:
If you're on Gingerbread, or have atleast updated to it, you can flash the stock gingerbread .sbf and it won't brick your phone. Just don't flash any other kind of .sbf , you can't go back to any other version. When you flash that with RSDlite, it'll take you back to stock and wipe the "unlocked" logo off your screen. It will still BE unlocked, it just won't say it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SErooted:
Ok let me rephrase,

I have noticed people in the Atrix community, are not as well versed in being civil with each other, as members in my other device forums are. Point is. everywhere you read, when it comes to rooting, unlocking, there is a "chance" of the statement "may" void warranty. (don't act like you are dislexic or in a special ed class and cant read or never learned how to) Maybe go read again where these statements are at when you read the thread.

Also to install a rom, you need to be rooted, and in some cases like this device, you need to have unlocked bootloader and cwm or a recovery installed to flash the rom to your device.

Which yet again brings up the point you have to go to a forum, locate a thread, read the info, and most of them always say, there is a chance at "may void warranty" and not responsible if you brick your device, kick your cat, crash your car,pull your hair, beat the sh** out of your wife, murder your neighbor, or somehow end up having to dive to the bottom of the ocean to retrieve your dog.

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Maigel:
Deodexing actually makes the ROM a bit slower (at least on the first boot). The main advantage is that it makes customization (themes, icons etc.) easier.

The phone is connected to PC in mass storage mode? You should see (at least in Windows) internal SD mounted as normal removable disk and then you can just copy & paste those folders from your PC.

If you're satisfied with UOT Kitchen possibilities and have no plans for other customization then you don't gain much by deodexing.

I flashed my Atrix with CWM from RomManager. Everything worked fine. I loaded CM7 on no problem. I had some issues with it (Pre beta 4) so i recovered back to stock backup i had made. Recently the CM7 beta came out so i wanted to try that. I tried restarting and holding the volume down key and got the normal menu. I went to Android Recovery, but it didn't appear to be CWM anymore. It was a little android guy with a yellow exclamation point? I was able to figure out that if you click both volume up and down together you can get to a wipe/load/ or reboot menu. However this was a bit strange. I went ahead and did a wipe from that menu (I pry shouldn't have - oh well). Anyway. I can't seem to get back into CwM. Does anyone know what could be going on. Do i have to re-root the phone and download rom manager again? It doesn't seem like that should be neccassary. Any help you guys can give would be great. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

I made a back up when i got into cwm the first time i was loading cm7 prebeta 4. I just went under backup/restore section of CWM and made a back up. So what i have done since is redid root. Then i downloaded Titatnium and got back to stock with my apps. Then i opened rom manager, (i flashed cwm again - even though it said i was on latest recovery). I restarted and tried to manual go into "Android Recovery" same thing (little android dude with yellow exclamation point). Then i rebooted normally and from rom manger i clicked "Reboot with Recovery" (thought since maybe it was a command from Rom manager it might work). My phone rebooted into that stupid little android guy again. It seems like i can't get into CWM? Any ideas guys?
