It is different displays out there my lg3 is much brighter then one local shop display . Settings is the same. That's why some people like the display and others not
[G3 General] Dubhar:
I've had no problems with the brightness so far. Compared to my Nexus 5, the screen is brighter at 100% as far as i can tell.
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
Well firmware improved brightness im sure of it, but the reason it was 570 for one and 332 for the other is because GSMarena measured the brightness with a white background and im sure erica didnt and just gave an average output.
[G3 General] Billy Madison:
Help me find. There were two photos of G3 screen under sunlight with 100% and 50% brightness levels. But I can't find the thread, help me find those photos

I´m living in the Canary Island with a lot of sunlight but even with 50% brightness (Auto) I don´t have any problems with the display
[G3 General] l5s5d6:
Hey, correct me if I'm wrong. But i can see a lot of people writing "i have 50 % auto" "i have 65% auto" etc. But i think that there is just no difference. If you are on auto the screen will act the same ( adjust to the light conditions you are in) if you choose 10, 50 or even 100 %. Auto is auto.

Or is there a difference?

[G3 General] Osseon:
You can adjust the Brightness % to the desired result, from my personal use of the Auto feature, it adjusts the Brightness % up or down 10-20% from your selection depending on the ambient lighting.

In other words 50% with auto could be like 40% or 60% depending on the room's lighting?

Someone could correct me if I'm wrong.
[G3 General] Steph09:
I don't know exactly how it handles the percentage you choose but the higher the percentage you set on auto, the brigter the display will adjust itself depending on the light around you.
[G3 General] veddandekar:
Exactly. It's called adaptive brightness. All new phones are using it....
[HTC Sensation] dedo.93:
Hi guys,

I got my old HTC Sensation (the normal one) and after a year or so that I'm not using It i wanted to fix it.

Basically i got the digitizer not responding. It works just if i press under the bottom part of the screen, under the action keys.

So i think i need to replace it. Can i use one from Sensation XE? (so i got that red colors that i like so much...) Or i MUST use the one from classic sensation?

Thanks guys :D
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] nprez:
Hello everyone, I'm kinda stuck in a bind. I got a warranty replacement phone from HTC that turned up not to be goot (screen is yellow). They sent me a different one but it took a while. In the mean time I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device and now I'm trying to return it to stock and get rid of the "relocked" and "tampered" flags but I'm having trouble doing so. I was able to do this with my original phone before I sent it by following these instructions http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/return-stock-guide/, but for some reason I'm no longer able to do that. I basically used revone to reset the flags, and flashed the latest RUU available and boom, I was back to stock. The only thing I can think of that's different with this device is that it's running hboot 1.56, and my old one wasn't.

I can't even flash an RUU right now, I keep getting "too many links" or "unable to read android_info" errors.

I'm currently htcdev unlocked, rooted, but have been unable to obtain S-OFF, I've tried rumrunner and firewater but neither will work. Rumrunner runs 8 times, and it fails, and firewater does nothing after following the directions, I get no disclaimers or anything. I know if I get S-OFF this might be easier, but I've just been unable to do so. Please help.

Please let me know what more info you need and I'll post it. Thanks in advance.

SOLVED: Never mind everyone, I solved it. I was able to get S-OFF using firewater by using ./firewater, instead of /data/local/tmp/firewater to run the script in the last step of their instructions. Thanks anyways.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nishanchi:
Hi,

I have just bricked my phone and need some help in getting my device back up and running. Would really appreciate any help possible. I have a Motorola Droid Razr XT912.

Here is what i have done till now:

I was trying to get CWM recovery installed on my phone.

1) I Installed CWM Touch 5.8.4.5] The Black Edition build 0.0.4 as i was following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1751826

2) After installing the app, i installed the recovery and rebooted into recovery.

3) None of the options were working over here and i was not even able to reboot my phone using the options present here. So, i hard re-booted my phone using Vol+ Vol- and power key.

4) As soon as the phone re-booted i was stuck in Encryption unsuccessful screen and resetting the phone didn't help.

5) I started searching for some solutions and found one at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2192467

6) I tried all the options present with this utility but was not able to get my phone back up.

7) The utility screen showed that everything is done and the phone will be re-booted, but my phone is stuck in AP Fast Boot screen.

8) I have some errors at the bottom of the screen:

Invalid CG OTV (CG:System);Invalid SP Data

Invalid CG Version (CG: System)

Invalid CG OTV (CG:System)

I am stuck right now and really don't know what to do to get out of this problem. Really looking for any help possible. Please.

I also tried flashing stock ROM's available at http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=9 for both the Jelly bean stock ROM's are failing while flashing.

For one i am getting flashcdt.bin 'cdt.bin_signed' > Phone returned Fail and for the other one i am getting Failed flashing process: 6/16 flash motoboot 'motoboot.img'' Phone returned Fail.

Can you please help?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jp7152:
Sorry if this is a silly question, I have been looking through the ROM forums and am a little confused.

Is it possible to use any 4.42 or 4.43 roms with a locked bootloader?

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
As far as I know, it is not possible. This is because it is required to change the Kernel to use these versions of android. You can enjoy many of the locked bootloader ROM's, some of them are pretty good.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jp7152:
Thank you for the reply

So I presume no Kitkat for my phone?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamild_:
Hello!

I'm using MX Player for watching videos from a long time. On my phone there are videos downloaded from YouTube, I converted most of them to 800x480 but there are some recent ones that I haven't converted yet from 720p. All these videos were working perfectly without any lag, H/W mode was working flawlessly. One day, when I tried to watch another video, MX Player told me H/W is not supported and since then I cannot use H/W mode on any of my videos (480p and 720p). It's forcing me to use S/W which causes video lag and slowmo, audio stuttering and graphical artifacts. I tried to install a custom codec from Google Play and manually from XDA-Developers thread but it did nothing. Same with H/W+.

How can I fix that?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ColdFire InOx:
I have the Nexus 5 16GB and recently updated to 4.4.3. Rooted again already, and installed TWRP. Now, I was going to perform a backup and I noticed my storage space is running low. However, I can't identify what is filling up the storage.

Available space - 3,17GB

Apps - 3,80GB

Imgs, videos - 772MB

Audio - 220KB

Downloads- 11,60MB

Cache- 132MB

Others - 116MB

If you add up all of this it will give around 4 maybe 4,2 GB of occupied space. Nonetheless, it shows up as if 9GB are occupied. What's going on?

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] KillaDanny65:
So I jsut did some benchmarking on the tab pro and most of them did good... until I tried out GFXBench... seriously all the benchkmarks were terrible and compared to the ipad air, the air was on a big advantage

The reason why this makes me wonder how is this possible is because the air and tab pro are pretty much alike when playing, I've seen them both in action and they play the same in almost every game so why does the air get much better results in the gfxbench while the tab pro has terrible result?

Hi everyone!

I am using a QTEK 9100, Molski flashed (2.26.10.2 WWE Rom, 2.25.11 Radio) with a Cingular Pick your Plan Line and Unlimited MediaNET (I use it for activesync with mail2web.com).

Now every few minutes I receive an annoying message popup from "phone" telling me about my balance and remaining minutes.

Normally, this should only happen after a call...

My problem: Although all Sounds are off and no sound is even enabled for events or programs this problem is draining my battery (by switching the phone and therefore the screen on) over night.

Anyone experiencing the same?

Thx,

Hk.

[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwyman:
good question. from what I have gathered the best way to find games on the play store for ouya controller support is to use tegra zone as you can search for games that have controller support. maybe someone will chime in with a list or a better answer but that is what I have found so far.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandogg:
Reicast (Dreamcast emulator) runs amazingly on Ouya with the controller.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0ubl3_d1zzl3:
You might wanna check out this app while it's still in the Play Store: Ouya Downloader

I just tested it this morning and it let me download games from the OUYA store w/o a problem. They installed fine, but didn't really get a chance to fully test them out as I'm running low on disk space (which is something else I'm working on); but judging by the filenames of the APKs, they seem to be the OUYA modified versions that will work with the controller. I'll continue testing tonight, but so far it looks quite promising.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazykrivda:
I've used this for a few games. My favorite, Bombsquad, will not play. The app auto-shuts down because it doesn't recognize the system as ouya anymore. Have you run into this? And any idea what it may be checking (probably in buildprop) to counteract it?
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajb999:
The second post at this link has a list of games/apps that work with the OUYA controller. Any that work with the stock OUYA launcher should work on cm11 as long as you have the OUYA controller kl file in place. Should be able to install the button mappings for controllers zip from the cm11 thread to get it.

[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0ubl3_d1zzl3:
Yeah, doesn't seem like a reliable way of getting games.. I was able to download and install both Shadowgun and RetroArch directly on my Ouya, and RetroArch installed fine and seems to work fine, but Shadowgun installs and loads but stays stuck on the loading screen... I haven't tried installing Shadowgun via the Play Store yet, but seems like installing from that Ouya downloader is hit and miss...

Update: Shadowgun installs and loads fine via the Play Store. It also plays great. Just had to map all the buttons on the OUYA controller before I started to play.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Styrkefuglen:
My phone's battery has been sucked dry way too fast since ~may 25.

I am and have always been on stock rom, and I only rooted the phone this weekend in order to use BetterBatteryStats and Wakelock Detector.

I estimate that during a day of heavy use for me before the end of may, the battery usage cannot have been much above 5%/h

According to BBS the phone used 6.4%/h over 7h30m this morning with less than a minute of screen on-time.

None of these things have helped significantly:

Disabling automatic syncing

Setting location mode to "device only"

Uninstalling EVERY third-party app except these most essential: Authy, Barcode Scanner, BetterBatteryStats, Dropbox, DSB Wildcard, LastPass, Sleep as Android (and addons), SuperSU.

Factory reset

*Upgrading to Android 4.4.3

Disabling WiFi to see if that would make a difference

Disabling mobile network data

Using recovery mode to wipe cache

My conclusions (please correct me if i'm wrong):

The drain is not caused by any third party app that I have removed without seeing an improvement

The drain is not caused by Google's location service or account syncing

The cause is not Android itself. I used 4.4.2 for 6 months without problems, and I only upgraded to 4.4.3 last week

The problem is independent of location (WiFi and cell towers). During the 7h30m when I collected the data below and got the corresponding graph, I was both at home, at work and commuting between the two, and I can't see any difference on the graph.

The problem is not related to the runtime, because i used ART almost since it was released with android 4.4 and after the factory reset I have used Dalvik

My suspects:

The issue started while the new version of Google Play Services was rolling out. Maybe it ****ed something up?

Batteries consist of multiple "cells" right? Maybe one of them (about 50% I think) broke?

I have uploaded a logfile from BetterBatteryStats below. That data was collected with account syncing disabled, location mode set to "device only" and only the third-party apps mentioned above installed.

Please contribute with any relevant insight or idea, and don't hesitate to ask for more info or propose experiments, to narrow down the possibilities.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taodan:
Have you tried wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery? Give them a wipe and let's hope that stop the battery drain.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Styrkefuglen:
Hey taodan, thanks for the suggesion. :good:

I forgot to mention that I have used ART almost since it was released with Android 4.4, but I haven't changed the runtime since i did the factory reset.

So I have had the battery draining issue with both runtimes, which makes me think that the it is not related to the runtime I'm using.

I have tried wiping cache from recovery at least once, but I can't remember if I did that before or after the factory reset.

Do you still think that wiping dalvik cache will help?

I will update the original post with the info I forgot here.
