[Nexus One General] UmbraeSoulsbane:
I do not see a purple hue; however, I have noticed that different apps can have wierd display problems. I thought for sure something was wrong with the corners of my screen since text would get cut off or have lines through them.

However, it was only in certain applications. Try having your friend get the same apps as you then make sure all your brightness and screen setting match. Then look at the same app side by side. If it is that different then I would call HTC and see what they say.

I have 2 N1s. One is definitely brighter than the other. It has whiter whites...
[Nexus One General] djmofunk:
Yep, tried the same apps on his phone, they look normal on his but have purple hue on mine. The boot screen, settings, and some others look normal.

Right now I am running a rooted but stock ROM, but the colour problem was there since I got the phone.

The blacks look black in the bootloader and the recovery but once the desktop loads it adds the weird hue to the blacks.

It is especially noticeable in pictures with a lot of dark colours.
[Nexus One General] GlenH:
I've not noticed any issue like you describe with mine (stock and various other ROMs).

If it's different from your friend's nexus, then I guess you must have a hardware issue (although it may not be unique - I've heard other reports of the same thing).

I'd suggest sending it back to HTC to have them repair it.
[Nexus One General] djmofunk:
If you turn the brightness all the way down do the blacks glow purple? ---> :(
[Nexus One General] ryanrhod:
I have a similar situation. I had no problem with the display on my nexus one, UNTIL my girlfriend got one too a week later. When I compare them side by side, the whites on her phone (like the background of Android Market) look much whiter than on mine, which have a yellowish-cast. This is with same brightness settings of course (full-brightness). The colors on her phone just "look" better, compared to mine.

Not really related, but she seems to get MUCH better battery life on her phone too. I'm probably going to try to get a warranty replacement from HTC at some point, but I am glad to hear that I am not the only one experiencing these variations in the AMOLED displays on this phone.

I will add, that I have not noticed a purpleish cast to black areas on the screen on my phone, so maybe there are multiple problems possible with the color casting on these phones.
[Nexus One General] djmofunk:
Actually I think mine has better whites and is a bit brighter than my friends and I always thought his had a bit of yellow tinge.... does hers get a washed out black when the brightness is turned all the way down?
[Nexus One General] dills84:
When your brightness is down you WILL get a strong purple or reddish cast in blacks. This is normal for OLED displays. If you dont like it, shut off the automatic brightness and keep it at around 25-30%. The screen looks amazing at normal brightness. But ALL OLED displays have this side effect when brightness is low.
[Nexus One General] ryanrhod:
Just compared both of ours side by side with brightness down all the way. I would not say that the blacks on her phone have any more of a purpleish tint than mine, they look acceptably dark to me. Hmmm that is definitely interesting that yours is brighter and your friend's is more yellow.
[Nexus One General] djmofunk:
Thanks, and I would have agreed with you until I saw another Nexus next to mine and dropped both to the lowest setting, my turned purple, his stayed nice and black with proper contrast.

I wanted to see if it was unique, universal, or mixed as to how many people have this issue.

I would start a poll if i knew how. Maybe someone can help me out with that ?
[Nexus One General] eug89:
mine behaves the same way as yours, I always thought that this was typical of oled displays but after reading this thread I'm not sure anymore...:( Ialso noticed this thing http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...ports/1199-amoled-display-issue.html#post9371 could you please tell me if you notice it as well??
[Nexus One General] djmofunk:
Yep, that is exactly how mine looks on low brightness. Notice the purple hue?

And the contacts are a good example... mine look light grey/purple my friends nexus looks just grey, no purple tinge at all.
[Nexus One General] eug89:
Strange....:confused: are you going to ask for a replacement? I would but... I'm from italy so it wouldn't be so easy... could you please keep us updated about this thing:)?
[Nexus One General] bluehaze:
Mine looks nothing like that, with the brightness down all the way everything is still the proper color and black is black. I would return the phone if mine looked like that, it surely seems defective to me.
[Nexus One General] djmofunk:
I think I agree, just didn't want to start the battle if it was 'normal'.

Thanks all for your input, I will update when/if I attempt to get it replaced.

Maybe someone will figure out a proper relock first just to make thing easier :rolleyes:

Greetings,

I have a web page with a link to a video. The video streams via MMS on a windows media server. When I click the link the video opens in windows media player and streams nicely. The videos are approximately 20-25 minutes in length. When the video completes it seems as though IE timed out and closed on it's own. Is there a registry hack or something to prevent this from happening?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] huggs:
Does the ATT Tilt allow music to be played thru bluetooth headsets, and if so, do I need to change the profile under bluetooth settings or something? I am using a blueparrot b250-xt headset, I'm not even sure the headset supports it as its more designed to be for super noise cancellation because it's made for truckers. Not that it's a necessity, just would be cool to be able to play music thru it when I'm not talkin thru it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
The question has been answered a millenia ago (about 2 and half years).

It supports (natively) BT headsets with a left and right speaker. I forget what thats called, AD2bt or something

You need a nice little addon for the one eared setup.

search for it. It's out there.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Ceger:
Can I modify an existing one by simply dropping in updated bootscreen files, rosie.apk, etc.. and signing the existing rom zip?

Any good guides on how to do one if not, and/or how to use Flipz kitchen tool to create a rom?

Ceger
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
I am pretty sure if you sign the file and you modify it after that you will have to resign it. At least thats how it goes for other things that are similar that I deal with.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Ceger:
I understand that, just wondering if I can add new files and they will move or does some master script need to be updated to know to move the files. In other words, is it done by directory or by file?

For example, if I add some apps to /data/app in the zip will they be there on the phone when I install the ROM zip, etc.. More specifically, I have added an alternate boot sequence. The rom does not have a boot1.gif. If I add the new sequence with XML, will the boot1.gif be installed as well or do I need to update something that directs the install of the ROM to move that file or is it automatic as the folder is moved over?

Ceger
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wtphoto:
I have found that the easiest thing to do is just put the files that you want to use to replace the old ones into a signed zip and then flash just those files I have tried altering a rom file with no success
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Ceger:
Oh well, was trying to have a one step zip. I guess I can make at least have a 2 step process which is better than 4-5.

Thanks,

Ceger
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] zippy-man:
Yes you can modify just about anything in the rom and flash your zip as long as it is signed and the update script is correct. I always make all my changes to a rom before flashing it so i do not have to flash several different things etc.

The update script is located in RomName\META-INF\com\google\android\

Lets look at a very simple update script to show you what i mean.

In this update script it is to write something to /system

example:

show_progress 0.1 0

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

show_progress 0.1 10

We see here that whatever is in the system folder within the signed zip will be written to the phone

in this case i am writing /system/app/mobiledefense.apk

That will be the only file written to the phone and will be written to /system/app

The update script is not specific to every file so you can have 1 thing in the system folder or 100 and it will write everything in there.

One thing that many people mess up on is not using a update-script file when they sign a .zip file. The recovery has to know what to flash or it will not flash anything.

So the answer is yes you can change many things and then flash the signed update.zip file.

Not everything can be done this way but most things will work.

But for example changing the boot sceen can be done even if the file names are different as long as the folder structure stays the same and the .XML file is the correct one for the boot screen. I opened the .zip of a rom deleted everything out of the boot screen folder and dropped in all the files from the nexus one hero hybrid boot screen re signed the zip and everything flashed perfect. I changed many other things as well in the .zip like rosie.apk, sound files, lockscreen files, busybox files, added apps to /system/app and just resigned the zip and everything flashed the way i wanted it to and works perfect.

The way to correctly zip a file is to extract the zip modify what you want then select everything inside the zip right after you open the folder and the highlight everything select add to archive and then zip it up now sign that .zip

so say you extract the ROM and it is named Rom123 now you will have a folder named Rom123 open that folder and select everything file or folder in there and then hit add to archive that will make another zip right there called Rom123.zip pull that zip out to the desktop and sign that zip file and thats it.

I Know that is confusing as it is late as hell and i am tired but wanted to answer this real quick.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Ceger:
Perfect, just what I was looking for.

Hi You all,

Well here is my question to you,

I have an HTC Touch DUAL NIKI100 SPL-1.16.0000

CPLD-4

1.58.16.27

25.61.30.03h

I have bought the cell in France but live in belgium. He was as you know simlocked. Now i try'ed to unlock him with the tutorials given here in this forum

And have to say it is a very poor tutorial. Doens't understand what to do at all?

I have unlocked a lot of cell's .. Most of the time Iphone, I Homebrew and chips a lot of gaming consoles (Wii, PS2, Xbox) so i have to tell i know what i am doing, but this tut made my hair stand up because i really cannot folow during the poor tut.

Now i have payed to unlock my cell and now it works.

But here is my other question... How can i set this phone into the dutch language?

When i do this steps :

and then i am stuck.

Then i try'ed to just skip 4 and 5 an go further .. But then when i am :

8. you can now flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki : tells me to go from 1.58.16.27 to 1.00.00.00 (or something like that)

9. after installing the hardspl you can flash any rom (rom cook project here)

It is very anoying ! Can someone give me a BETER explenation how to resolve my problems ..

Sorry for the bad english, but as you could see i am from belgium

Kind regards and hopefully till i get a good explenation.

[Android Apps and Games] m0bstar:
Is there a way to stop my screen from rotating when opening the keyboard for some apps like market and what not.

I've tried DroidSans Tweak Tools and Lite works but doesnt have that option and Full force closes.

Any other apps or ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] plugged_in_now:
I wish! I don't know of any tools to turn the rotating off for specific apps, but of course there is the main option in Settings-> Sounds and display. I wish that someone would make some kind of setting for this purpose because I know that there are always some apps I want it to rotate, and some that I don't.

Sadly I think it would need to be implemented into each app, such as Handcent, there is an option to turn on and off the auto rotate, so I believe it would need to be app by app rather than something to correct settings in batches.
[Android Apps and Games] gjizaqin:

[HD2 General] Randomly Set:
Hi all,

Just recieved my new HTC HD2 handset. Transferred all/most contacts from my old phone, to the SIM and placed in the new phone. However, the names show as a scramble....

eg.... If I had the name "John Smith" on my old phone, it now shows it as "-Sm;John/1"

Also, if I edit the contact, there's only one name field. However, if I add a new contact, I can add a First Name and a Surname

Just connected it to my laptop, don't have outlook, but do use thunder bird.... Is there a way a syncronising these together?

BTW: my last phone was a Sony Ericsson C902

I also just clashed a new recovery, but I didn't think that would effect anything?

So, looking at switching to AT&T, but may not go for an iPhone. They offer the HTC Pure or HTC Tilt 2, so wonder which one is more feature packed, user friendly, upgradable, etc, for the cost. I can get the Pure for 50, or the Tilt for 150. I know, duh, go for the cheapest. But I believe in the "you get what you pay for" theory.

This forum has been a HUGE help in just dealing with my iPaq (I know, but the programs here work great on it!), so figure you guys are the experts. Any and all opinions are wanted!
[General Questions and Answers] splinter182:
Honestly there is not much difference between the two phones. biggest ones would be the tilt2 has a hardware keyboard and is bigger. and the pure has a 5mp camera they both have same processor memory etc. So really your decision should be based on whether you want a hardware key board or not, personaly, I have to have my HW keyboard :)

both devices are well supported here with many custom ROMs so upgrading will be no problem

Good Luck
[General Questions and Answers] jerrya:
Thanks Splinter. Now regarding ROM upgrading, I tried that with my iPaq (thanks again for trying Spaatie!), and wasn't able to. My concern is that if I go with AT&T, ROM upgrade wouldn't affect the phone portion, correct? And would I be able to get ROM's that simulate UI's like the HD2's, or would I just see if Androkkid would work on the phone instead of risking ROM upgrades?

Keep the opinions coming folks!
