Brighter Video Playback

The "Filter Your Screen - Free" app has dramatically improved video playback using the LG Video viewer, BS Player, and MX Player. The settings that work for me are: Alpha 30; Red 200; Green 200 and Blue 220. I also set the Display Brightness in "Settings" to 85% or higher.

After viewing a video, I set the Brightness back to around 50% and turn the Screen Filter off and it seems to save the battery. I can only get about 5 hours of battery life with the brightness set high and the Screen Filter on.

Hope this helps.

Install the screen adjuster app and turn the contrast up.I have mine set at -50 and makes a big difference.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MRCANNADY:
Thank you for the tip on this app. I will try it and update my thread to also recommend the app. I'm going to use it for a few days and see if it affects my battery life negatively. With the screen adjuster app running, I can easily go a day or two before having to charge my tablet.

Thanks

I have found Lux auto brightness FREE in

makes dark scenes in movies much much better. No noticeable difference in battery consumption either.

i'll try this today. I like this tablet but the brightness sometimes gets me upset. lol :p
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] general_z:
This made it so that movies seemed to drop frames and causing the playback to be a tad jittery. Also the whole UI became slower and the level of microlag increased.

Isn't there a flashable fix for this instead of applying stuff that renders a "fix" in real time and thus causing misc gpu rendering problems?

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevin_405:
I have rooted KF HD 8.9 with the default amazon rom am trying to update the rom to the CM11

I am trying to follow the tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128175]

I can connect using adb devices and see my device but the following command "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" or "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot" does not work. The only thing i get is "< waiting for device >" message.

The device is rooted and i can get it to show the fastboot prompt on the KF by using adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader" commands. I have attached the device manager status when the KF gets into fastboot stage

Can anyone suggest how do i get past this.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Update the drivers for the device with the triangle to the ones in my signature. So download drivers from my signature, extract them somewhere, right click that device, hit update drivers, and point it to where you extracted mine.

Personally I would use this tutorial for what you are trying to achieve, but the downside is if you somehow don't see the check box above the red warning text and check it off then you will have a nice red screen on reboot and if you think its hard to get fastboot working right now well wait until you have to update that driver in a 3 second time frame. Then again Linux makes it way easier because of how it loads up drivers, so that's an easy way to get into fastboot.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevin_405:
Tried the driver in your link before posting this thread and it did not seem to work for me.

I am going to try the linux option.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Its also possible you have a composite device that need to be removed first, only way to know is to look at each composite USB device's vid number and see if it is 1949, if that's not the case then maybe you have a vid and pid I haven't added to my drivers. But yea go for and Ubuntu 13.10 live CD/USB, makes things really simple, you just boot it up, install fastboot from the Repo's, and run the command with device off and then plug it in.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevin_405:
I tried it with Ubuntu and it did not see to work.

adb devices was returning my device

fastboot devices was not returning anything.

Is there a specific way to install the driver on linux. I just downloaded the android sdk and unzipped it and the adb command was returning my device right off the bat.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Interesting, well Linux has the driver built in, so there's not need to install anything, did you say you had adb access in fastboot mode???
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevin_405:
In Linux adb does not work if i put the device in fastboot mode using adb sudo command.

Does it have anything to do with device itself. I know it is unlocked , because i managed to get play store on it, but is there a chance it is not fully unlocked
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Let's use the term rooted, unlocked has a different meaning that will never apply to the kfhd... Anyways um so your saying if you "adb reboot bootloader" and it goes into fastboot it doesn't get recognized by Ubuntu when running the command "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product"? By the way there's a much easier way to install the adb and fastboot command by running this in a terminal, though if your are on a live CD you might wanna run "sudo apt-get update" first before running this. In a terminal you can just run "sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot", way smaller and you don't have to add anything to the system paths for anywhere usage.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevin_405:
Yes your statement is accurate. Any suggestions on what i can try?

I have a full install not a live boot version, so i will try your suggestion of apt get so that it gets installed in the path.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
When it goes into fastboot unplug it and plug it back in, then post back the last few relevant line of your dmesg along with the results of running lsusb.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Well that is interesting, it seems Ubuntu saw it in fastboot mode, not sure what was with the descriptor errors, those are usually bad because it can't retrieve the vendor is and such but it seems to have done that, lab126 is the kindle BTW so it showed up in lsusb as well. Its late and I don't wanna get on my laptop to check something so I'll just ask, are you plugged into a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port? Just wanna mention USB 3.0 and fastboot don't mix well.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevin_405:
It was connected to USB 2.0. BTW once in fastboot mode , adb devices also does not work.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Adb isn't supposed to work with fastboot. I don't see why fastboot isn't picking it up, as long as any fastboot command has the "-i 0x1949" parameter it should run the fastboot commands, I mean Linux is picking it up in fastboot so this is odd.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevin_405:
Found this info in another thread would this mean that i have a version of kindle on which fastboot has been disabled.

Would it make sense to try the commands to load the TWRP?

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot stock-boot.img

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery stock-recovery.img

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system stock-system.img

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1850038

*The stock bootloader has been updated by Amazon to not display anything with "fastboot devices" and you can only enter one fastboot command at a time before you have to shut it down and start it up again. I have come up with a dirty workaround to deal with it so if you have a stock bootloader and get "Device Offline", just try to select one of the options anyway. The script will hopefully get you through it.

*32bit libraries are necessary for this to work. The script will detect whether you are running 32 or 64 bit and download the 32bit libs if necessary. The problem with this is Ubuntu is no longer supporting ia32-libs and they may or may not download when needed. It's best to use a 32bit system or create a 32bit LiveUSB to avoid any problems, although I've never personally had any problems downloading them.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
That article is about kf1's, you have an HD 8.9, and they never had fastboot disabled in them, only the hdx's did and it wasn't to the point where you couldn't get into it. I wouldn't mind trying to fix this remotely with something like team viewer, but even a ssh might work.

Thought I'd mention I would a posted this sooner but my kindle went nuts and i couldn't access xda for some reason.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevin_405:
Do you have suggestions on what you want me to try. I am quite well versed in software development, but this is too specific to be in my area of expertise. So if u give me some hints i might be able to figure it out
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
At this point I am getting low on advice. Its being seen in fastboot but yet not working with the fastboot command, I'm either going for user error or bootloader malfunction at this point but I could be wrong. If indeed thenbootloader is malfunctioning, you could reflash the bootloader from adb if you can still get adb access, it would just be a simple matter of pushing it to the sdcard, md5sum-ing it to verify integrity, then dd-ing it to the right partition, probably with bs=1 option, as I have noticed people with hard bricks that used the soldering method had to pass bs=1 or it wouldn't work. If you can still get adb access and want to attempt doing it I will post the actual commands you will want to run.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevin_405:
I finally figured got flashboot to work and managed to get CM11 on it.
