While the Desire's screen isn't great in daylight, it's never been so bad that I've been unable to type, make calls etc.

Watching a film or playing a game in broad daylight wouldn't be much fun, but as far as normal usage goes on sunny days, I've had no real problems.

The auto brightness feature isn't completely reliable in my experience. You could always use a brightness widget to set 100% brightness for outdoor use.

Maybe my eyesight is really bad... how do you turn on Auto brightness?

I have to agree with the OP - the screen is useless in bright daylight. It's my number one annoyance at the moment...
[Desire General] Necroman_AI:
Maybe you don't have auto-brightness enabled or have a very low brightness - and yes, with little brightness you can't see a thing.

But i live in a very very sunny country, and with auto-brightness i don't have any problem with the Desire screen.

I've found an anti-glare screen protector helps outdoors. I'm still not sure I like how it makes the screen look though.

Are there different screens out there : ???: I purposely used this phone in direct very hot sunlight and I could clearly see all that I needed to see... perhaps you have dodgy sunlight up your way?

I think the users complaining mean this problem: http://images.anandtech.com/doci/3764/3430-9329.jpg (lower left screen)

And if you're in that situation with very strong, direct sunlight then your screen brightness is still below 25%.

[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
I use the stock "power control" widget which is consisting of 5 different switchers including brightness to maximize brightness level when under daylight. However, when you use this, auto-brightness will no longer be in use (to enable it back you have to go to the settings manually). Alternatively, i use a 3rd party app called "brightness profiles" that is available in the market. With this app, I can use auto function whenever i want thanks to its shortcut (a nice widget) on my home screen, as well as various pre-determined brightness levels; low-normal-high-max, etc. You can add more profiles to existing three as default and customize them as per your desire i.e. adjust level and rename profiles. However, the main disadvantage of this nice prog is; when you use it in the lowest level profile, then switched from it to "auto", then -after a while- when you need to use it in max just because of you are under the sunlight, as soon as you unmark "auto" checkbox in the app window it will go to the lowest level since you have used it most recently. in this case, you just need to set to normal before activating "auto" via this app, at least until its dev solve this issue. Anyways, it is worth to give a try.

Newbie: Powerstrip from screenshot thread? Opera Like homescreen w/ pics & Pinch/Zoom

Two quick questions form the title. Where can I find that longer Powerstrip from the Screenshots thread with multiple options? saw one that has 7 or 8 options?

Secondly: I like opera's homescreen, but it has no Pinch and Zoom. Sky and Dolphin have it, but the homescreens don't match. (Sky has the pics, but they aren't changeable, right?)

Finally, is there a live-chat room I could bug people on in the future?

Anyone know if anything like this is available for android?

Fairy simple sequencer but, fun and addictive. I think something along these lines was available for winmo but ran very slowly. There are a couple of flash pages with this type of thing, but an actual app should run very nicely on the desire.

Haven't seen one, though it may be worth seeing if progs such as ToneSynthDS are opensource, then you may be able to port them.

Hey my brother jus gave me his touch pro 2 and I was wonderin if I needed the sim unlocked and if I do how do I unlock it. Thx in advance to anyone that can help
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] undefined:
I am not sure that the CDMA versions of the TP2 have a SIM card slot, ill look around to verify this, but other wise you are stuck using it on Sprint's network by way of an ESN swap.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] puff601:
sprint tp2 is cdma and gsm so yea it has a sim slot. sprint locks the sim so that it only works with International sim cards. in order for it to be used on US gsm networks, you have to use the SIM unlocker.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lamama:
Hello,

I got a HTC Diamond few days ago from friend. The GPS was working fine until recently but it stops working. When connecting the phone to External GPS antenna via BT, I get Sat fixes.

I'm using Waze and IGO. Both are not working. Both can connect to the GPS antenna but I get no fixes on Sat's. Same with the HTC GPS TOOL. No Sat's fixes!

I tried COM4 with all baud rates: 4800, 9600, 19200, 57200, and more. In all bauds I can connect to the antenna but no Sat's fixes.

I installed the GPS Hotfix from HTC website,

I updated the Radio,

I updated the ROM,

I put aluminum foil between the battery and the phone,

I installed advance configuration tool and saw that the AGPS was Disabled. I enabled it but no help from their also.

Anything else I miss?

Thanks in advance,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] laser21:
That is not easy...

1. disable A-gps in advanced config!!

2. flash a radio from internal storage - reboot device with the diamimg.nbh radio-file in root and push volume down and D-pad

3. when done, connect to wifi, download fresh gps data with Quick GPS

4. start a nav software, enter a destination, and let it navigate. It will automatically start, when it gets a fix.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] TabascoTX:
Can Cliq questions,themes & Dev stuff be posted in this area too? That would be awesome. Thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Barkleyfan:
Don't know anything about the Cliq or Backflip, or Motoroi. But maybe we can get this section expanded to multiple Moto devices eventually. I asked for this board because there is alot of Moto Droid info available, but little is available on XDA. I found I wasn't the only one asking. I'd like to see all decent handsets get full lifecycle from cross-platform cooperation.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] TabascoTX:
That would be awesome,i hope more dev stuff happens for the Cliq,its a good phone,but it seems like the bastard step child of moto. My thought is,the rooting and dev stuff started here at XDA,if we can get some devs working on at least maybe a couple of ports from the G1 that would be more than where we are now.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HazzBazz:
Obviously a radio difference, but what else prevents roms being easily ported to Milestone from Droid? Im not sure on the internals differences, but could we start porting.

NB do we even have root !?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] iamdata:
we have root on both devices i think the exploit may be the same? forgive me if i am wrong.

(root guide for 2.1) the latest update at time of this post.

http://android.modaco.com/content/m...m/308422/milestone-2-1-update-and-root-guide/

the problem on the milestone as anyone will tell you, the LOCKED BOOT LOADER this isnt a problem for the Droid users, they got this for free. Hopefully with the power of the XDA super Dev team, we will have a solution for this, and start pumping out custom roms!

all of the accessories fit for each other, which maes it handy if you want some cheap bits from china, there isnt any carrier in the uk that has the milestone, what i am saying... carrier.. i mean mobile phone network!

i got my milestone from here. buymobilephones.net on a contract, but you can also get them from expansys, as far as i have researched, they are all unlocked. So you shouldnt even need to post about unlocking the sim.

there is another differnce i remember, if you are loading busybox on your device, this will not load if you use droid root helper from the market, you will need to manually do this via ADB and the loaction on the partition is different.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sam1501:
carphone warehouse sell the milestone on t-mobile and you can install busybox with droid root helper.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ireas:
The kexec modules are nearly working. So there will be a 2nd bootloader in near future.

http://and-developers.com/motorola_milestone
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] iamdata:
I messed my first one up when I used droid root helper, but I have recently download titaium backup and that says it has installed busy box for me over the net. But terminal tells me no busy box found, the only way I have had it working was via the manual install.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cmstlist:
Titanium installs busybox in its own data directory so that only it can access it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] iamdata:
Cool that answers that. I want to put busybox back on to use cachemate again. But can't find any instructions. So haven't yet
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DAGr8:
Main difference is the locked bootloader , there is a signature verification at boot time that prevents us from running custom Kernel .

Its unlikely that the bootloader signature will ever be cracked , other workaround like Kexec will most likely help achieve further mods to our device eventho it seem to be right around the corner there is still much work to be done
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] geekygrl:
Download Busybox and use this to install it:

ADB push busybox /sdcard/busybox
ADB shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
# cat /sdcard/busybox > /system/bin/busybox && chmod 700 /system/bin/busybox
# sync
# mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ireas:
Its better to push it to xbin and not to bin, as the most apps search there for the busybox
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cmstlist:
After Titanium had installed busybox, I opened Root Explorer and moved it from Titanium's data folder to /system/xbin (had to temporarily mount R/W to do so, using the button up top). Titanium is still happy as it still finds busybox. Do I need to do anything else for other programs that require it?

Weird problem, had my Evo for a couple of days now and everything seemed fine for the first day but now when I run certain apps like google maps for pandora my Evo will reboot. This doesn't happen all the time but will eventually happen after an hour or two of usage. I did buy a case for my phone, maybe it's a heat issue?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chippillie:
I've had this happen on my hero. It is just clearing memory are you using autokiller ? It started on my hero when using autokiller. It's not a heat issue the led will flash red and green when the phone is hot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taziz23:
I'm using advanced task killer but I don't think it's set to autokill apps. A hard reset has seemed to fix this issue for now, how do I ensure it doesn't happen again in the future?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chippillie:
It might help to check your preset in autokiller and set to moderate or optimum but some apps use more memory than others so you might see it from time to time. I still use autokiller set on extreme and would only see that once every week or two on the hero. So it's not that big of a deal. You could just uninstall it if it bugs you or to see if it stops. I have not seen it on my evo yet but I am just rooted no custom ROM yet (Waiting for fresh ROM with espresso theme). That might help contribute to it as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathpod:
taziz23, I don't mean to hi-jack your thread but I've been chasing down the cause of random reboots also. I've been searching around for someone with a similar issue and all I've been finding are people talking about the reboot loop caused by an exchange account. I'm not using exchange at the moment so I know that's not what's affecting me.

It sounds similar to what you're talking about. About 30 minutes to an hour apart regardless of whether I'm using the phone or not. It just did it while sitting on the desk next to me with the screen off for at least 15 minutes.

I've hard reset a few times to see if it was related to the OTA, and turns out it happens to both .1 and .6

I've found out that if I don't associate my google account during the initial setup (or any other accounts like facebook, twitter, etc.) it doesn't seem to reboot anymore. Once I do setup an account and set it to auto sync, I start seeing the reboots happening. So I've been playing with different combinations of disabling calendar sync, contacts sync, etc. to narrow it down but so far, I've come up with nothing.

I've even exported my contacts to a .cvs file using my desktop browser and cleaning out any of the <HTCDATA> stuff that links facebook and twitter to make sure nothing is corrupt and reimported them, but as the reboots are still happening, it looks like that might rule out contact corruption.

I had made it through most of Friday before the reboots started. I recall installing the update to Facebook and TasKiller just before it started happening, but have hard reset since then and have not installed either of these again.

Has anyone else seen anything like this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakejohnson86:
Two words: Kernel Panic.

Actually, that's just a guess. I'd imagine anything else would cause some kind of error message to show up like a force close for example.

It has happened with my Evo a few times so far. It also happened with my Hero when I use to use that.

It's probably just a module misbehaving which confuses the OS and causes the kernel panic, so I imagine it's nothing more than a software bug.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathpod:
Yea... I was thinking some KP's might be happening, but if the release build is dated in April, I must have some fluky hardware right?

Maybe I'll run an `adb logcat` and just wait.

I remember the hard crashes on some of the early donut and eclair builds for the Vogue (CDMA Touch) and these are pretty much the same deal. Just drops out and goes straight to the bootsplash. :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakejohnson86:
Regardless of the phone or OS, I've seen this happen on all the phones I've owned. Android is at least open to allow normal people to debug and fix these problems though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krissywolle:
Me too!

I had a seemingly random reboot happen today on my EVO as well... then it happened again.

Both times, I had Waze and Pandora running and was about 30 seconds into a phone call.

Advanced Task Killer is installed, and is set to kill "when screen off".

I'm pretty new to Android based phones, so I'm not even sure where to start with troubleshooting... but found this thread, and thought this info may help.

(P.S. I love this phone so much, right now - I don't even care that it has rebooted on me twice in the middle of a phone call... but eventually the honeymoon will be over, and I'll want this figured out. LOL)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taziz23:
After my hard reset a couple of days ago I haven't had any reboots. I do think it was related to the task killer I think it might have caused some data corruption possibly when killing an application. I set the auto killer to safe in the meantime. If it stats happening again I'll try uninstalling the task killer before I hard reset.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffrimerman:

My Evo rebooted most days 4 or 5 times, day or night, in use or not. The store where I purchased it refused to replace it since I couldn't duplicate the problem to the local technical store. They acted like I needed someone to talk to and not like I had a problem needing resolution. After about 20 calls to customer support they told me to return it where I purchased it and they're sending me out a new one. Apparently no one at Sprint has ever heard that there's this issue.
