[HTC Inspire 4G] astate85:
Okay I searched and couldn't find what I need.

With that said, I replaced the LCD/Digitizer and the screen was very dim. Called the company I ordered from and they send me a new one which was also very dim. I didn't even think of doing this before I called, but I remembered I had an old Inspire that is not worth fixing but still works for the most part. Anyway, I plugged BOTH replacements into that phone and they both work perfect. So what I am trying to figure out is what part of the phone, not the screen, controls the brightness? Is it the flex cable? If not, does anybody know what does? I want to fix this quick so I need to know what part to replace to fix the brightness. Thanks in advance!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kahbrohn:
Hi.

I am totally new to the Android phone tweaking phenomenon. Been reading and testing many of the tips, tricks and such on the forum here. I must say, I was about to ditch the trusty Atrix 4g when I came upon this forum. I can't thank XDA enough for being the informative and authoritative website that it is.

On another forum I saw someone ask if they should upgrade to a SG3 or unlock/root their Atrix 4g. I though about it a bit. My "answer" was simple: I am a cheapskate. Forking out $200 for a new SG3 (my phone of choice right now to be honest) is a bit rough on my pocket. Unlocking/rooting is for free. Try unlocking/rooting "responsibly" first. If it doesn't work out to my satisfaction, then upgrade the phone. At least you make sure you are squeezing the max out of your Atrix 4G, right?

I unlocked... rooted... and I could not be happier. Only problem now is that I want more! I OC PC's for a hobby so squeezing more is second nature to me right now. Cell phones are way different to PC's though. Quickly saw you can't water cool then effectively and retain its mobile nature. Now my phone has a new life in it that I think could be improved even more. Therefore, I pose two simple questions here now:

1) Extended battery... worth the investment or not? I rooted to MROM and find I have excellent battery life in comparison to before but I wouldn't mind extra life via the battery itself. Investment would be around $20 tops for a 2800 mAh battery. That's about 33% more mAh if that's the correct way of looking at this...

2) If I were to get the extended battery, I was thinking of upgrading my kernel to the Faux123 1.3 ghz version. Would I "really" notice the difference in terms of performance? (am presently running the MROM ver. 43 SV kernel which is 1.0 ghz - "sv" means software voltage "tweaked" for better battery life if I am not mistaken)

Thoughts?

Signed,

Uncle Kah
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] littleemp:
1.) If you really want the extended battery it is only worth it if you can handle the extra bulk. Buy only what feels comfortable to you. (And that's the only thing that you should be considering on this subject)

2.) Depends a lot on what you're doing. The things that are already running fairly fast and feel snappy probably won't feel much different, but you will see an improvement on things that are/feel a little sluggish at times.

Right now we're on a turning point as far as development goes, since the new leak has been released there will be a slew of new builds coming our way very soon (I am hoping within the next few days), so sit tight and watch (maybe help test too?) closely, because even the current incomplete ICS/JB builds are, in my opinion, superior to any other Gingerbread build.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kahbrohn:
I agree on the battery thing being more a matter of bulk. That's why I was looking at the 2800 mAh battery instead of the 3500+ mAh. I believe the bulk should be less. I have big hands anyways so it shouldn't be much of an issue BUT, if I need to put the phone on a pocket fort example, that might be an issue.

I see your point on the sluggishness of apps and such. I really can't complain that much of anything being slow or stuttery. Netflix works just fine. I don;'t game on my phone. I mainly surf, email and chat. Those functions are doing just fine. In essence, it's much like a computer. You can reach 4.5 ghz overclock and taking it up to lets say 4.7 may not be noticeable in any way other than bench marking and such and we are not doing that continuously as it is.

Interesting point on the leak and the possibility of new ROM's hitting the threads soon. Not used to how those innovations work in the cell phone world. If that's the case, then I feel that I should wait a bit and then play around with the new ROM's that are soon to be born.

Thanks for the insight...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] littleemp:
I actually think the overall feel of GB to be slow and the browser in particular sluggish at times when compared to other devices (not necessarily with better hardware, just with newer software). I guess it comes with territory after tinkering with fully working JB builds on other devices. To be fair, I didn't see it as much until I tried it out... It's kinda like giving a blind man a brand new pair of eyes. :)

On the overclock thing, 4.5 to even 5 Ghz the difference is very negligible as you say, but a 1Ghz to 1.3 or 1.5 GHz jump is very noticeable. Remember we're talking an extra 30-50% in CPU cycles.

I've seen some apps around (namely Boot Manager) that boast the ability to let you have multiple ROMs flashed to your SD card and let's you choose which one to boot into when your phone starts up. I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with this and would like to fill me in with some further details?

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Harpratap:
Nope! Our device doesn't meet the hardware requirements to have multiple roms at once.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] MercuryStar:
I wish the "auto-brightness" on all devices worked like it does on the Note 10.1!

Like most other Android devices, the Note 10.1 has an "Auto Brightness" option. However, unlike most other Android devices (in my experience so-far), you can further tweak the brightness even when "Auto Brightness" is enabled, effectively adjusting the sensitivity of the auto-brightness mechanism.

Try it in a very dark room. With "Auto brightness" ticked in the pop-up notification panel, the screen should be relatively dark. Move the slider all the way to the right, and it will add a little bit of extra brightness, but still be quite dark. Move it all the way to the left, and it will subtract a bit of brightness, making it even more dark - even though Auto Brightness is still selected and operational.

Some have said suggested before that doing this adjusts a "maximum brightness". This is not the case (as illustrated by what happened in a darkened room). Instead, this adds a little or subtracts a little from the brightness that would be determined by the auto brightness setting.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] defia:
i have a note10.1 and galaxy s3, auto brightness both work as you say with the newest firmware.

though the s3 was like other android devices, in recent jb stock roms it changed.

so i guess all samsung devices will have such autobrightness,if a new stock rom comes.actually it just works as what ios autobrightness do.

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] oohyeah:
yep, I love the "Manual Auto-Brightness" feature!! ALL ROMS should have this!!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] smrsxn:
When i move the brightness slider, auto brightness gets unchecked!

How are u guys doing it?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] AndroidAble:
Smrsxn - I get the same as you. As soon as I touch ut, auto is unchecked. ???
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] planetf1:
It's a superb feature (I have it on my note 10.1). Looking forward to getting it on my s3 too
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] meanvulcan:
Well, my experience is the same as others -- it's either auto or manual. I don't know how the "auto-manual" can be enabled. I am assuming they are describing something similar to iOS where you adjust the brightness slider, and the auto-adjustment is relative to that. I find the auto-brightness a bit too dark for my taste, but don't want to keep it at top brightness non-stop. So I use Lux Auto Brightness (I opted for the free app) and have been happy with the results.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] oohyeah:
Hmm.... I'm on the leaked JB rom (Dr. Akrim version). I never spent time with stock ICS so not sure if this is the difference.

On this ROM, the Auto check box stays on as you move the slider.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] blud7:
This probably works only on JB.

It does not work on stock ICS for me

And ditto about auto brightness being too dark.

I usually have to turn it off.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sysl0rd:
Hey I am on ics, on the very first build, didn't do any updates. For me the brightness thing works like a charm. Maybe check your settings or something ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] AndroHero:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
I have auto -manual mode but I'am on an old firmware from july even before the tab is released
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hamma:
I can adjust the slider while auto is on, but there is no difference when i slide it.

I´m on ICS, and Samsung had better named it: Auto Darkness

The way it is, it is completely useless.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
Try it i a dark room and you will notice it,
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] needachange:
Very true. It is undoubtedly the best implementation of auto brightness. I'm loving it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sysl0rd:
I think I might now know what issue you might have.

Maybe you covered the the top bezel, the one opposite of the samsung logo. If you do this then the light sensor thinks you're in a dark room and reduces the brightness to almost the lowest level.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] se1988:
i think the auto brightness is ALWAYS just a teeny bit too dark, even if its slided all the way to the right. I would love it if i could "slide it a little more to the right", that the slider was a little more sensitive, allowing more tweaking on the auto levels.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hamma:
I haven´t covered the sensor.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] blud7:
Auto is ALWAYS too dark for me.

When I drag slider, auto gets turned off
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hamma:
I found out why it was always too dark. I had energy mode switched on.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Haldi4803:
Yeah. Kinda cool in dark rooms.

But unDer direct sunlight its to dark.

And I often hold it in Portrait mode and block the light sensor. ~.~

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Booomber:
Is there a way to disable the automatic brightness when it hit low battery? I find it anoying that it goes so dark when i still got 10%
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Tirozz:
This feature worked on my ICS-rom, but I just flashed the MA8 German ROM on my Dutch tablet through Odin and it seems like something has changed...

On ICS I could adjust the brightness while it was set to 'Auto' with the slider, thus I could change the minimum-brightness that the device would use. Now with Jelly Bean I can still adjust the slider while 'Auto' is ticked, but no changes to brightness unfortunately... Has this been removed in all Jelly Bean ROM's? Because I think it's a great feature actually!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Gray44:
In my opninion the feature works great, but even on highest brightness it`s to dark.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] klau1:
my auto-manual setting is definitely malfunctioning, even when l slide it in a dark room, no changes are apparent.

I recall that it Used to work on ICS

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jonesieboy:
Re: I wish the "auto-brightness" on all devices worked like it does on the Note 10.1!

Ridiculously dark!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] whee90:
I have to agree.

This brilliant feature is gone on stock JB 4.1.2.

One can easily check this with having auto-brightness checked and the sliding will not make any brightness difference (pre change u can instantly see the brightness difference).

If u go to settings-> display -> brightness then the slider is disabled with auto-brightness :/

Seems like a bad feature, maybe patents related ?:x
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] zardoz99:
Re: I wish the "auto-brightness" on all devices worked like it does on the Note 10.1!

I'm running stock JB 4.1.2 and it's working as described. So, the feature is present in the uk version.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] klau1:
It MUST be patent related then.

WTF, why does what the corrupt & stupid U.S. does with their patent laws have to affect Canada too? :mad:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Tirozz:
Well it's not only US and Canada, on my German (DBT) ROM it is also not working. I just read somewhere else that on the UK ROM you can add the lockscreen icons as well, and as described here the auto-brightness also seems to be working.

So can we say that...:

Differences between UK (MA5) and Germany (MA8) (not 100% verified)

- Autobrightness slider works in UK-Rom when brightness is on 'Auto', not on Germany Rom

- Lockscreen icons can be added on UK-Rom, not on Germany Rom

?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] whee90:
I can confirm the DBT part.. :/
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Tirozz:
Forget the brightness point, just received a comment from somebody with the UK release and also auto-brightness not working :P crap! Not going to change ROM's just for the icons
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] se1988:
Well, I find the access to brightness control to be quick and easy, don't need auto... Altough it works on Nordic version :good::p
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] zyclone:
Hi @ all,

maybe we can edit some values in build.prob,

or other brightness related files,

so the minimum of auto brightness are adjust.

Sorry for my bad English.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] CentaXx:
I really liked the manual-autobrightness option, but it's totally useless for me. My RAZR i has a really high autobrightness setting (which i reduced A LOT). The Note 10.1 is always so dark i can barely see anything on the display. I also think that the battery capacity is big enough for a higher autobrightness. At the moment i switched to manual setting, but will try LUX dash again (does a great job on the moto!)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] se1988:
Please post the results here! :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] klau1:
Just got the Note 3, and the auto brightness slider works as it's supposed to like Note 10.1 before it was broken.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dry.doc:
Hey guys, I've been searching all over for an answer to my problem, so I have looked...

Anyways...I was messing around with my phone (Verizon Galaxy Nexus) and decided to give MIUI a go, so I downloaded, backed up my current ROM and factory/cache/dalvik cache wiped my phone prior to install.

When It booted up, it stayed on the Google screen for a WHILE, so I just left it there thinking it would take a while as these things usually do.

Well, it won't, it sat on the google screen for over a half an hour. At this point I pulled the battery and tried to get into Recovery for a restore/sbf (Powere+Volume Down) and it won't let me navigate anywhere in the menu.

I'm stuck at Start with a notification that says "Downloading...Do not turn of target !!" The only thing I can do is press the power button which of course sends me back to the google logo and I'm at square one.

I've tried the toolkit on my desktop, but that does not work either (I've already set it up, as I used it to root in first place.) Does anyone have any ideas?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can normally figure these things out, but im really stuck here. Sorry if this shouldn't be here, Q/A just seemed like the right place

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
To get into recovery, you need to hold volume down AND volume up and press power. (This will take to you to the bootloader, and then select recovery.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xfanatic:
Edit- What they said. ^^^ :)

Have you tried booting it up after pulling the battery? It may boot fine for you now. If not you want to hold volume up + volume down + power that is how you access recovery.

Volume down + power took you to Odin mode.

Allons-y
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dry.doc:
Thanks man, I really appreciate it!

Its usually always something small...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dry.doc:
Oh...thats what that was. What exactly is odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Odin is a Samsung-specific interface that allows you to flash partitions to your device. For the most part, it is not needed on a GNex, given that we have unlockable bootloaders and can use fastboot. However, it is sometimes needed when your bootloader gets corrupt, and you can't use fastboot.

As many have noticed Asus left the mount for a rear facing camera inside the nexus 7 even though they later took the camera out. My question is, what would it take to install a camera into that mount and get it to run? My guess is all it would take is the right camera and a connector that could be installed into the board beside the camera mount where the old connector was. Of course a hole would need to be cut into the back cover which may interfere with the nfc antenna. Or would it? Would the firmware of the device need to be messed with, or would the camera work with any camera app like normal? If you have any ideas on how this could be done please reply. I would like to try this but it may be more difficult than I'm thinking.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
I haven't taken much time to look at the inside but I plan to put some LEDs between the speakers so it will glow. So I'll look tomorrow but I don't think there is a place to connect the camera.

As far as the antenna, if your careful enough you could lift it up and move it. And just solder a wire on it to run to the connectors

But this is if you could find a camera and get it to work
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markd15dx2:
I believe there is a spot on the right side of the mount where a connector was supposed to be soldered in but was left out. I wonder if Google or Asus would tell us where to get the connector they originally planned to put in that spot. I doubt it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
Yea, it's not really worth it. He parts would be expensive

Hense why they left it out, to make it cheaper
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markd15dx2:
Replacement camera modules are surprisingly cheap. From $10- $40ish. You would just need to find one with the same connector and many seem to have one or an other connector. So if you could find the connector and attach it to the board finding a camera to connect to it may not be too difficult.
