Brightness loss on AMOLED

I have found reduced brightness on my desire after trying to run the battery flat by setting the screen to fully white display, and at full brightness. It ran for hours before it went flat.

I have two friends with Desires, and when comparing my phone with theirs at full brightness, the lesser light emitted by mine is noticeable. All three phones were set to manual and full brightness for comparison.

Organic material degradation is one downside to OLED screens, but i always thought it took around >50,000 hours to reach half brightness.

Maybe the 'hours on'/'brightness loss' curve is not linear.....?
[Desire General] Bouncer5:
I was told that the reason the HTC Sense UI is black is to avoid such a problem :confused:
[Desire General] BlackDragonBE:
Use a black theme, it consumes less power and you won't get the burn-in effect.
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
I too hv noticed that. But they disappear in short, so i see no matter to complain.
[Desire General] atomfix:
Yup. I just thought I'd bring it up, I didn't know I was the only one with this problem lol
[Desire General] Balos:
this is sick. Now one say if this is really such an advantage. Bull****. I would much rather have the Iphone 4 then this crap from HTC!!!
[Desire General] DaddyCee:
so its not really Burn-In then more IR (Image Rentention), which disappears after the handset is switched off?

Not noticed anything so far on mine.
[Desire General] atomfix:
Yep. I only notice this when the device is rebooted, that's the only ever time I see the burn-in effect.
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
I am experiencing some burn in on my desire (amoled) most on white,blue background I see shadows of clock and signal status, is there some tool or something to repair that?
[Desire General] AliMente:
I didn't notice anything like that.
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
EDIT:

Well I did, and I found a solution, program name is jscreenfix for andorid I run it like a half an hour, and he fix it all, no shadows now everything is perfect.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neilc28:
Hey all,

I've recently debranded my HTC Desire (Orange) with the generic HTC Rom, everything was working perfectly but then an OTA update arrived and was consequently installed, since then, the phone boots but says "Network Locked". From what I've read this is due to the 4.06 Radio update and the 2 solutions seem to be either downgrade the radio or request the unlock code.

Phone has Goldcard and has been rooted.

Radio Downgrade

Well I attempted this by downloading the generic radio 4.05, copying to MicroSD and renaming to update.zip and selecting the "Apply sdcard:update.zip" option on boot. This was tried MANY times and always stated the following

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

--Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Reload Generic ROM

Have tried this, but get a "Bootloader Version Error" when installation is in progress.

BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.80.0000

MICROP-031d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-4.06.00.02_2

I have requested an unlock code, but the 2 companies I have tried are having trouble getting a code based on my IMEI. I've verified the IMEI from the sticker under the battery as cannot get past the network locked message to enter *#06#.

Any ideas?

Desperately needing help here guys, need my expensive paperweight working as a phone again. :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
if you are rooted, just copy the radio to your sd card and flash it in your chosen recovery. There is no need to rename it.

A radio flash will reboot your phone twice and takes a few minutes. Do not interrupt it or pull the battery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulW21781:
+1 previous post...

Simple terms...

Copy the file from this thread:

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...unching-recovery-on-your-device-without-a-pc/

Onto your SDCard, rename it to update.zip.

Also, copy the RadioUpdate.zip to SDCard (do not rename this to update.zip)

Now, boot into recovery (as you were) and select Apply update.zip as you were...

You will now be greeted with another menu.

Choose "Select File from SDCard to Flash" (or similar, I can't 100% remember and my Desire is currently in bits), and then choose RadioUpdate.zip

Reboot the phone

It should work :)

Hi

Sorry don't mean to hijack the tread but wonder if any body can help, I purchased a sim free desire from O2 UK before my contract expired, to use with my new 3UK contract.

I have routed and phone and updated the radio from stock to the following 32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2.

Now phone displays

Network locked

. I have tried downgrading to the following radios without success :

32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2

32.34.00.28U_4.05.00.30_2

32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11

32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2

if i am trying the wong radios, please can some one refer me to the correct radio?

can you not install the stock 3UK rom again with its radio?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazynut:
tried to install the stock O2 RUU Rom but get error 140?

all networks were open before rooting.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neilc28:
It's Working!!!

Well, I put my sim into another phone as nobody could txt or call me, then booted Desire again out of curiousity, now it fully boots and although it complained that there was no sim inserted, it did allow me access to the menu's etc....

Whilst it was in this state, I tried to flash the Generic ROM again, and to my amazement, it worked! Radio and ROM are now back to how there this morning! Re-inserted sim, job done! Very weird how it worked in this mode, but nothing else.

I have also disabled the OTA updates until I can get the phone unlocked.

Finally, I did try to flash the radio back via the update.zip + recovery method, but this just resulted in the same problem.

Thank you all for your feedback on this, think I'm gonna leave it as is for the moment :cool:

Neil
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruzay:
The radio is already in a zip format so just rename it to update and not update.zip n flash it.

It's not even necessary to rename it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neilc28:
it was actually called update<version number>.zip , so all i did was remove the version number. I didn't call it update.zip.zip due to hiddent extensions lol ;)

I did also try giving it no extension at all, but that didn't help either.

In any case, it's working now :D

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neilc28:
If you flash your Desire with the Official HTC 2.2 update, then it will no longer be locked-out in any case due to the new radio not being locked by Orange. This is now an easy fix, unlike before :)

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkopalek:
Just wait.

Froyo 2.2 has JITs enabled by default, and the Nexus One is getting it.

Pandora isn't going to cut every Nexus One user out of their ability to use Pandora.

The point:

My prediction - Pandora will update in the near future to allow for the use of JIT's, since now JIT's are coming enabled on phones WITHOUT modding them.

[HD2 General] icemanscion:
Hello all Im a proud new owner of an Hd2 (moved on from a g1) and had a few questions in regards to hacking phones as I have never really done it before.

1) I hack psp's and when hacking a psp the only way to brick one is if you DO NOT do the hacking 100% correctly. Is this the case with hacking phones? Or is there a slight chance of bricking even if instructions are followed to the T.

2) Is there an Unbricker? I ask this because as stated prior when hacking psp's you can unbrick them using a special battery and a few programs (I understand this phone is not a psp just asking plz no OMG WTF DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A PSP TO YOU?).

3) In regards to the actual hacking of the phone once flashed for custom rom / radio, when the great developers who are just f***in amazing port android os to the hd2 will one still be able to switch os's?

Tyvm for reading this and helping a newb out. Happy 4th!
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Really the only way I have seen to successfully "Brick" an HD2 is to Flash the wrong radio to it .... So Far , just about everything else you can recover from, and even that sometimes ....

Once the Android port is done, I don't see why switching ROMs would be any different ....

Just make sure the ROM you choose is TMOUS compatible, and you have a good radio and HSPL(3) ...

Be a good thing to post your Radio Rom and your Main ROM in your Sig and keep that updated, makes offering advice a little easier ...

Number 2: depends how bad you brick it

Number 3: its not gunna be for awhile to have andriod on ur HD2 :(

Congrats on the NEW HD2 and I love PSP hacking :D Greatest thing to hack HAPPY 4th
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
To reiterate what other people have said, I have flashed 6 previous Windows Mobile phones countless times (Excalibur, Touch Pro 1, two TP2s (and flashed one back to stock) a Touch Diamond 2, and HD2) and I've never bricked it by accident. And even if something went wrong and it did brick, it was probably recoverable.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jekader:
Hi everyone! A few days ago I bought a chinese clone of HTC Magic, running Android 1.5 without Google Apps or Market. I decided to add those, got some Hero roms, copied the files from there, but now I'm stuck with SetupWizard.

It asks me to "Slide keyboard open to continue", which the phone obviously doesn't have! I've tried several SetupWizard.apk files, with the same result.

Once somehow I got to the next step, where a software keyboard appeared and I entered the google account details (although it refused to connect to the servers for some reason) - but now I can't even get to the previous step.

Please help. Where does the apk search for the info about the presence of a physical keyboard? Or how do I configure the google account without running SetupWizard?

Thanks in advance

[HTC Aria General] SysAdmNj:
I still cant install blocked sources. I keep getting that message "install blocked", and I changed the install_non_market_apps field as well. I cant install apps from my sd card or from websites still. Is there a custom rom I can flash that would include "unknown resources" so you can select it.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
How did you change the field?

On a properly rooted ROM,

Start android, enable usb debugging. Stay in Android.

adb remount

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db

echo update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3 settings.db

adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

reboot

there will be no toggle, but you will be able to sideload with Astro of another equivelent file manager.
[HTC Aria General] SysAdmNj:
I tried that method you just posted, and just tried again. Waiting for reboot, and you meant adb reboot?

I also used droid explorer and ran sql commands to update the file, it seemed to have taken that way but when I tried to install an app from the sd card using app installer it failed.

Ok I used astro and now it installs. Can I install from a website?

Thanks.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
You can install any way any other Android can now.

note: if you do a wipe, you'll need to do this step again with these AT&T roms.

I followed this guide but when doing step 2.cmd, i did as I should and when I came back there was a picture of a phone with exclamation mark on it.

I thought it was done so I took off the usb and restarted the phone and it redid the whole progress thing, this time with the pic of a phone and an arrow pointing to it.

The phone restarted but now it won't go past the screen where is says "sony ericsson". What do I do now?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] synlar:
What I would do is try restarting the phone; if that doesn't help, or can't restart it, take the battery out, and put the battery in after 5 sec and try starting the phone again. If that doesn't help, or it stays as an exclamation mark, start from step 1 again :(

That's all I ever got from Step 2.

"error: device not found

error: device not found

"select option 6 SDCARD UPDATE"

Press any key to continue . . ."

Thank GOD though, someone had the sense to say "option 6 ON THE PHONE".

I was looking to press it on my PC keyboard for ages. I don't even know if I missed the option appearing on my phone but I don't think so as it always said the above on the PC.

Anyway, I gave up and used SEUS to update. Flashing in step 1 gave me a generic firmware and removed my O2 UK branding. SEUS then updated to the R2BA020 before it was available on O2... battery life vastly improved but I am missing a few market apps.

And now I can't even manage step 1! I am no fool and I am in IT, but I am pretty confused by all this. I only wanted to remove f***ing Moxier apps and improve battery life. Now I've lost access to stuff on the market, I kinda wish I'd waited for O2 to release it officially!

The Java app from pre-step 1 for finding phone ID just displays a blank screen too. I've got 3 different IDs on my PC and none of them work now. I assume as I got the "official" generic FW OTA, perhaps they locked out this method?

Frustrated at losing access to market apps more than anything.

Go to command promt and type javac and hit enter. If it does not display java help options then path is not set correctly.

Try setting up the path with the following command on the command prompt

Make sure you change/put the java bin folder path above.

After that try running the flash again.
