[Sony Tablet S] D00QLE:
does this happen to you?

i was playing on my tablet then the screen turn soooo dark

like as if the bright setting is turn all the way down.

i can hardly see to operate, i press the power button then again to login.

but when i check the setting it appear untouch

even after turning off auto brightness.
[Sony Tablet S] Tergazzi:
Mine kinda does this... mine just goes super dark, but i usually just touch the screen or the power button and it brightens back up, just like a laptop getting ready to go into sleep or hibernate mode.
[Sony Tablet S] D00QLE:
It happens again after I set timeout tok 30 m3inutes

It could be bad lcd, I could not see a thing.
[Sony Tablet S] Tergazzi:
That would suck if it is a bad LCD, but at least it would be under warranty!
[Sony Tablet S] a_ballads:
This happened to me, I think it is because I had brightness at maximum... I turned the brightness slightly down and it has happened again. But maybe that's just me?
[Sony Tablet S] 4dthinker:
It has a light sensor and auto-adjust capability. I've notice as I move around with mine or change how room light hits it will darken or brighten. Doesn't bother me enough to go looking for some settings to disable it, but there should be some there.
[Sony Tablet S] 3vilhomer:
I have the same problem too... everytime I turn off the screen using the power button then turn on again the screen turn very dark when the setting is set to auto brightness... it is very annoying while doing something on the S and went away from a while then come back to use it the brightness is totally so dim...
[Sony Tablet S] officeman:
I'm sorry to say but you guys have a defective unit. Just switch it in right away.
[Sony Tablet S] alphaola:
turn off auto brightness.
[Sony Tablet S] D00QLE:
I contact newegg yesterday but no reply yet.

edit: i call them via phone got my shipping label.

Turning off auto brightness doesnt help, but tuning down the brightness from max down slightly I havent had the issue.

If it happens again ill have to send this back, I feel bad loosing the official siony screen cover.

Byt loosing $30 is better than five ninty-nine us dollars.
[Sony Tablet S] officeman:
The issue describedhappened to my first one which is why I know it. Just re turn it. Its not normal behavior.
[Sony Tablet S] sixthday:
It is the Android problem, not Sony. Unless you change OS....
[Sony Tablet S] D00QLE:
my xperia x10 2.3.3 fw and before that doesn't bug me this much.

if all 3.2 fw tablet does it then i would blames on 3x

go ahead turn on your auto brightness and browse the net in a well lid room.
[Sony Tablet S] brison1208:
I have one that is doing the same thing. Also every now and then the screen shuts off and I cant get it to come back on for awhile unless I hold power for like 30 sec. Is this a defective tablet or honeycomb 3.2? Thanks!
[Sony Tablet S] officeman:
I'm telling you guys, I sell the things andI KNOW the issue they are taking about. We played with the settings all day and it kept happening but the issue NEVER happened to any of the other units. It's most likely a defective unit because as I said, it only happened to the one unit.
[Sony Tablet S] brison1208:
I agree, im exchanging mine today. Last night I charged it and it kept restart looping untill I turned it off then hooked up the power supply. Ill let ya guys know how the next one acts!
[Sony Tablet S] ps3taker:
Is official sony screen cover out yet? And in which country please - i would like to get one as soon as possible. Thank you.
[Sony Tablet S] ps3taker:
i think they are not available in Europe yet - so you should be able to sell the cover easily if you ship internationally

Try your local Sony Centre, High Wycombe have them in stock. £24.99 i think
[GT540 Optimus General] Sadronis:
Hi, I want to unlock my device with search button so i edited the /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl

its like that;

key 217 POWER WAKE_DROPPED

key 127 HOME WAKE_DROPPED

It is perfectly locks the screen but it doesnt unlock. I tried lots of settings but i couldnt done. What should i do? What should i change?
[GT540 Optimus General] 123fokus:
I'm not much into this stuff, but shouldn't the key code be the same in both lines ?
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
I've removed the dropped from both of the lines and now I can unlock the device. But I can't lock the device :(

There could be a code on Spare Parts that changes the function of the detach button or something related to CM settings.
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
Can anybody try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=850464
[GT540 Optimus General] Sadronis:
One is for not sleeping mod and the other one is for sleeping mod i think. Both of them was the search button in default so i did it that way.

I can unlock it but while in 2-3 sec. after locking.

Its the same thing that i do manuel. But im gonna try it :)

Sorry for weak English.
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
I've changed 'key 217' from SEARCH to POWER but it doesn't really behave as a POWER button after locking the screen.
[GT540 Optimus General] Sadronis:
I think there is a problem with search button function after locking the screen. I found that when im listening music then i lock the screen with search button and wait for 5-10 secs. then press the search button and the phone wakes up. So search button doesn't work properly when the phone is locked. So what we should do now?
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
Is there any other configuration available?
[GT540 Optimus General] Sadronis:
I dont know :( I use this way now i lock with search button and wake up with home button this is better than the normal :)
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
That method should fix the problem. :)

Still not sure I it doesn't wake up D:
[GT540 Optimus General] Sadronis:
It solves the problem for a while but we need a permenant solution :)
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
Then what does the power button do???
[GT540 Optimus General] Sadronis:
Im using it for just turning on my phone :) this way is better than normal i like this very much :)
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
The power button enables the device to sleep and to access the power menu (like reboot, power off, etc.). The method that is showed here of modifying other buttons to a power button only applies within the Android system.
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
Does anyone know how to lock the screen using the search button????
[GT540 Optimus General] saber_tooth:
Hopefully a soultion for full loc/unlock will emerge soon ;)
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
Yes I hope too

From Me
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
Currently we are capable of locking the device but the unlocking has a significant glitch or error.
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
I just want to know how to lock it!

[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
MANUALLY:

On a root exploring app, go to '/system/usr/keylayout/'. Then find the file 'qwerty.kl' and then open it with a text editor. You'll see there are lots of information on it. Find the line that contains:

key 217 SEARCH

Change the SEARCH to POWER and then save the file.

Restart your phone and then done!

AUTOMATIC:

Install 'http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=467998&d=1292740886 (Credits to appelflap)

OR copy the 'qwerty.kl' file inside this to '/system/keylayout/usr'.
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
Do u know how I could change my long press call button to open another app???

it opens Bluetooth voice dailer!!

do u know how to change that???

Sent from my GT540
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
I don't know the structure of the function of the long-press of button unfortunately. But you could make the call button a SEARCH button and then change the settings for long-press search. But I think changing the long-press function for search is only available for CyanogenMod. Do you have it?

EDIT: Install this

Credits to the person who made this. (Found on this thread)

It appears to be a modded version of Quick Settings.
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
Yes i will try it out!! ;)

And i am cyan 7!! ;);)

Edit: i didn't really get what they

Were talking about!!!! ;););)
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
Ok I tried making the call button into a menu but no success!!!!

anyone help???

Sent from my GT540
[GT540 Optimus General] Sadronis:
There are two call trigger in qwerty.kl

"key 61 CALL WAKE_DROPPED

key 231 CALL WAKE_DROPPED"

Which one did you change? One is for sleep mode. But i dont know which.
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
It is the 231!!!

How do u change to sleep mode???

Sent from my GT540
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
Would you like to keep the function of the call button? You could change key number 231 to POWER or something that can wake the device.

Though it's rather glitchy, cut off the 'DROPPED' from WAKE_DROPPED. It sometimes does wake up the device. So now the configuration for the call button will be:

key 231 CALL WAKE

key 61 has no function, it will do no harm if you delete the line.
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
I want to make the call button a search button !!!
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
Foe some reason after I flashed a cyan rom I can't make the search button lock!!!

I changed search to power !!!

Ans restarted but t doesn't work !!
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
Can you pull the 'qwerty.kl' file and upload it here? Flashing a new ROM overwrites the previous files there as it flashes the system partition (which is where the 'qwerty.kl' is).
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
Maybe tomorrow!!!

i don't have time right now!! XD
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xda_apprentice:
Hi, does any one know what I missed out when I flashed?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
1- Download HD2 toolkit from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090783

2- Connect your device and boot into MAGLDR and choose option 5. USB Flasher.

3- On the toolkit, from top choose "MAGLDR Repartition" then from the left panel choose the rom system size you want and write in the cache size then click on "Repartition" from the down panel.

4- After it finishes, reboot your phone and choose option AD Recovery and it will work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xda_apprentice:
Thanks for your reply. I have been having problems with my SD. Do you think there's something wrong with my SD 1GB card? I partitioned it early and then it said I have only 468 mb so, I formatted it (using Panasonic SD Formatter) and now it sometimes reads and sometimes doesn't? It was working perfectly before the Partition.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Maybe, I don't know. you can remove both partitions and try it again (use EASEUS PARTITION MANAGER) . After you remove them, create an ext3 partition with a size of your choice (preferably 512 MB) using the same program and try again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xda_apprentice:
What you said worked perfectly, thank you (I would use the thank button but I am limited to 5 a day)

Do you recommend any roms? I use wifi, data, music and something that looks good and for a novice like me, easy to install.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
It depends on what system/cache size you picked when you used "MAGLDR Repartition" ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xda_apprentice:
I am using this rom:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1141448

150MB partition layout with 45MB Cache. But this can be changed I think.

I also have a 1GB SD Card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Yes do what I said earlier with "150mb system" and "45 mb" cache.

After that put the_rom.zip on your sdcard and install it from recovery.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xda_apprentice:
Yea that has been done from when you suggested about AD.

What roms do you recommend?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
I recommend the following roms:

-HyperDroid 3

-NDT MIUI Development

Both require 150mb system and both are non-sense.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
For Roms it depends on what you prefer.

For Sense 3.0 Roms I am personally using EnergyRom here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=733649

For Regular Sense Coredroid is the best in my opinion: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=926507

For Regular AOSP stock Android Typhoon is an awesome choice here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=933951

Thanks. I will see what looks good and has good stability.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xda_apprentice:
chrisrj28 - you have given me the best of the roms available, thank you. I look for style and something which is good to look at.

I choose the Core Droid HD2 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=926507

Before I do anything, can I ask when I use DAF.exe it says -

1) "An error has occurred

Read below for more information

Error Description: USB init failed

Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (736)

Error Description: EnterBootloader missing

Info: .\RSPL\BootLoader.cpp (176) "

2) And in the instructions I downloaded it says " 15.	Select minimum (512m) maximum (1024m). Your choice which one to use. Recommended is the 1024m, then press call button (left)."

Doe it matter what Size SD card I have?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
Yes Coredroid is an awesome build and I would have stuck with it but I prefer Sense 3.0. Now as for your questions, the error with running the Daf.exe for your recovery sounds like it may not be connecting to your USB. In MAGLDR you selected the USB Flasher option right? Then when you connect to your computer it should have installed the drivers to recognize your phone.

And as for your sdcard, it does not really matter what size it is as long as you have room for whatever size Ext partition you choose. It also depends on what you plan on putting in the FAT32 option.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xda_apprentice:
Why do you prefer Sense 3.0 as opposed to Coredroid? I am just curious and would help me to choose best suited to me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
Well Sense 3.0 is more appealing visually as it adds some nice 3D effects and such to Sense. But it is still not fully stable as it's Gingerbread based and there are some driver issues, but I like to have the newest on my phone, even if it's not the most Stable.

EnergyRom is good for me as I have been using EnergyRoms since my TP2 with WinMo. There are very few bugs and the ones that are there I don't really care about.

As for Coredroid, it's Froyo based and has Sense 2.1 which is fully stable, everything works like ti should but once again it's Froyo :rolleyes:

That's just my personal preference, prior to Sense 3.0 Coredroid was my daily driver
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xda_apprentice:
I have decided to use EnergyRom. Thank you :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xda_apprentice:

As you can see I am no pro. I am using this Video as a Tutorial :

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
Ok describe what you did step by step
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Just a quick tip, I recommend using cLK bootloader. it is a less of a hassle :D especially if you do everything using the toolkit.

(Hopefully) Chris will help you with that (you will, right? :D)

And if he didn't, I'll post a tut for you tomorrow isa

now back to bed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
CLK is beyond me friend, have not tried it yet. MAGLDR does what I need it to do :cool:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Ahhaa .. Okay.

Here is what cLK has over MAGLDR:

1- Android Native functions (fastboot, adb, reboot into .... )

2- No "GO GO GO" screen, from your splash1 directly to android's splash2 (makes it look more official :D)

But MAGLDR has the following (not all features, only that would be useful to you):

1- Can boot Windows Phone7.

2- Supports RMNET data connection. (Simply, in cLK your data may drop and you need to airplane mode to get it working again, in MAGLDR this won't happen, although I've never faced not even one data drop in the past 6 months)

Anyway .. here are the procedures to install cLK if you wanted to try it out:

1- Make sure you have google drivers installed.

2- Juice up your phone to above 60 percent battery, then connect your phone in bootloader mode. (VOL DOWN + BOOT)

3- Download HD2 NAND Toolkit.

4- Open it & from bottom panel choose "Task29" and go through the process.

5- your phone will reboot, hold volume button to go to bootloader again.

6- now from top panel choose "cLK repartition" and from right panel choose desired system & cache partition then hit "Repartition" from bottom panel.

7- after going through the process, your phone will reboot, don't hold anything, let it boot normally.

8- you'll be welcomed with a little texted screen on your phone, on your toolkit choose from top panel "cLK install Recovery" and then hit install from bottom panel.

9- Now, if you have google drivers the cmd will guide you through the process. IF you dont have google drivers installed, cmd will stick to "<waiting for device>".

10- After the cmd has rebooted your phone, hold the "HOME" button, this will always take you to recovery (when u hold home ;))

11- Now put your ROM and flash from recovery. :D

Tips:

*If you lost data (which I highly doubt, simply activate then deactivate airplane mode, data will work again.

*If you want to install a different ROM, repeat the same tut but with changing the system and cache partitions size in step 6.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xda_apprentice:
I am problems with installing this rom. What I did was (using HD2 Toolkit)

1) task 29

2) flashed Radio

3) flashed mgldr

4)in mgldr repartition I choose 150mb partition size, 5 cache size, clicked repartition

5)mgldr, ad recovery, advanced, partition sd card , 1024, 0

6)ad recovery-mounts and storage-mount usb storage-when pc sees phone, send rom to phone

7)mgldr menu-ad recovery-install zip from sd-choose zip from sd-find your rom and choose with call button-after installation is complete reboot phone

After I done this, I just got a frozen screen.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xda_apprentice:
Thanks for the reply. What's the difference between my procedure and yours?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
You are using MAGLDR, and my steps are for cLK ;).

MAGLDR & cLK are bootloaders for android :).

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

This could be due to many factors:

* Partitioning your sd from CWM makes the partition file system (other), try to partition from PC to file system (EXT3).

* Transferring files with MAGLDR is not stable (AFAIK) and could cause some files to corrupt, try using an sd-card reader.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xda_apprentice:
I given up with installing. I even read the Official roms installation guide and that messed up and got 2 problem messages saying:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
You are using EnergyRom correct? Trying using a 180mb partition, if it doesn not boot chances are your recovery system partition isn't big enough. I read in the Energyrom thread that users were having that problem when using 150mb.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ANichols24:
Hi, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all of this stuff.

I think I may have fooked my phone - I downgraded my SPL from 3.14 to 2.08 and followed the steps of MAGLDR through to CRMod.

Stupidly though I missed the HSPL3 download and also don't have a NAND Android ready - not sure if you need that first or not but it's a bit late for me now!

I got through the ClockWork Mod 150MB and once it was finished, I don't have the option of 8 - AD Recovery so can't go any further.

I was running Android Gingerbread 2.3.1 before off my SD Card and now I can't even get into that so for now, my phone is pretty much a brick :(

Can somebody please help as I have no idea what to do apart from sit in the corner and cry as I really don't want to go back to my old BlackBerry!!

Many thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
in magldr, if there is no option 8 - ad recovery, then you have an old version of magldr.

Get magldr 1.13 and flash it from bootloader (whilst in bootloader, confirm that your spl line says 2.08.hspl NOT 2.08.0000, if it ends 0000 run hspl4 again and choose 2.08.hspl)

then, boot into magldr, usb flasher, flash cwm again

reboot into magldr, 8 - ad recovery --> enters cwm, then flash zip from sd card - choose zip - and select the rom you already copied onto your sd card.

Also, if you dont have one yet, nows the time to create an EXT partition on your sd card. You can do that in cwm in 'advanced - partition sd card' tho it will format the whole card, so back up anyting you wanna save first. (Do teh EXT before you flash teh rom)
