[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] somebully:
As long as you have a working WinMo it should be possible to edit the values of brightness, but I have no idea where this information is stored.

Deleting Android folder and unzipping again is esentially restoring to factory settings.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] molesaied88:
yea this happens to me all the time, its a *****. it cuts off at exactly 12% for me. what i do is have aldiko(a book reader) on the home screen. if i click on it and open a book i can just swipe on the left side of the screen to adjust brightness. since i know that its on the home screeen on the right side middle, i can usually find my way back to it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aznsHD2:
which means that i'll lose everything such as data correct? new contacts etc. msgs...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aznsHD2:
any thing on this... isnt their a file in the android folder that i could maybe replace to restore to factory settings.

and could someone post a screen shot of their phone so i know where the numbers for the pin code lockscreen. tryin to get past that, then i can adjust my brightness
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] massage000:
LOL I experienced it one time. And I must delete data.img to restore the phone. After this, I don't use any brightness tools (except ones already in the Android build).

If anyone have solution, please point us :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aznsHD2:
Well i was able to get my screen back to normal. lol.

I didnt delete the data.img, i simply copied it and then removed it, started a fresh install, and then just marked on my screen where the numbers were, turned it off, put the old data.img back. Followed my marks, and was able to unlock it and then found the power control widget. And bam! screen back to bright...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Justblair:
This might work for you!

Erm... In similar circumstances I found this worked...

I was trying out different Android builds and I found a screen brightness widget. It had various available levels of brightness, one being 0%. As soon as I selected it I felt pretty stupid as true to it's word it gave me 0% brightness placing me in a similar position to the OP.

My Solution. I used my (very bright) led torch to light the screen. By playing around with the angle and beam width I found I could just make out the on screen graphics enough to re-adjust the brightness level.

Simples!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Just as " Justblair " said .. you can place your device under a very bright light thus you'll be able to see the screen and what it's showing .. idk what build you guys are using but in cyanogen you can adjust the lowest dim level so that any app or widget tries to set the brightness to 0% it's automatically set to your preset, 15% for instance.

I've only faced this problem once ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
Is it absolutely necessary to flood the main thread with all these useless noob posts?

It really has nothing to do with Android development on HD2 and should be posted in the General section IMO.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ugumba:
Cyanogen allows you a max dim level of 26 - which is too little on the HD2.

In Tasker, 30 is the lowest setting that still provides light. Maybe Cyanogen can be patched for the HD2 in coming builds?

Thanks for the tip on shining a bright light on the screen.

Another tip is to use Droid Explorer's "Screencast" feature, to view and control your Android's screen on your PC desktop. Of course, the brightness setting has no effect here. :-)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ugumba:
I don't think the general section existed when I made the OP...? (Or I wasn't aware of it.)

Mods, feel free to move this thread.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Wildcopper:
Yep, that's how I fixed mine when I had the problem, works perfectly, and is very simple :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BLAST3RR:
Isn't this setting stored in the build config? That file you also have to edit for the DPI setting? Would make sense..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ohhyeahh:
I had this same issue guys. If you install the android SDK you can raise the brightness via adb.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ugumba:
No, it is not. build.prop is a kernel boot-time configuration file. Screen brightness is a very dynamic setting - God alone knows where it is stored.

Yeah, and shortkud above, and a few others... :-)

[Streak 5 Android Development] punkrckriot:
First off id like to say thanks in advance to any replies and also apologize if this has been posted previously (i searched and could not find anything that was helpful) I lurked around these forums when i had my x1 and im hoping you guys can be as helpful for me as you are for everyone else. anyway onto the issue

I used the superboot method to root my ATT US Streak. My intentions were to update to 2.1 following the steps in the "eclair working on my u.s. unlocked streak!" thread (wont let me put a link since its my first post)

after using fastboot to root the phone will boot up and function fine but recovery and fastboot no longer work. i tried flashing Koush's custom recovery and other things that require fastboot and the terminal just says "sending..." nothing happens no errors or anything, the cmd prompt just sits there and i need to remove the battery to reboot the device.

i then downloaded the Rom Manager apk from the market and flashed the clockwork recovery from there (it said i did anyway). when i load the recovery from boot (volume keys + power and its the stock recovery) and chose option 2 to flash modaco custom rom or even the stock dell rom it just goes to a black screen and i once again need to remove the battery to reboot.

the phone itself is still functioning fine when it boots up and everything works the way it should other than the home, menu, and back button lights flash in random orders, thats just annoying though. again any help is appreciated

so what should i try next?

EDIT: woke up this morning and now the device will not turn on. i tried starting to fastboot and recovery but still nothing. plug it into my pc and i get the "found new hardware wizard" for a Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM.

first real brick? ha that would be my luck

EDIT 2: a kid just ran through my work, grabbed my phone and threw it on the ground. it screwed up the 30 pin connector on the phone and the charger. im going to hurt somebody. phone is booting again though... put sd card back in and still boots fine

SOLVED: Dont know the technical reasons behind it but i had to reinstall the drivers and switch usb ports for every fastboot and recovery procedure
[Streak 5 Android Development] punkrckriot:
removed SD card and its booting up normally. any thoughts?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiroprotagonist:
I got a UK G1 that i wanted to root, unfortunately its running RC9 and i need to downgrade. When i get it into bootloader it asks me to press the power button to flashDREAIMG.nbh but when i do, no dice. Action button doesn't quit. I am forced to do a battery pull to get out of bootloader. Is this a hardware issue? Plus i have a relatively unresponsive strip of screen real estate.... Very shady behaviour. Any suggestions?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kavsternator:
Hello people,

I'm not new to the HD2 as I have had it for 10 months now, however I am new to customizing the bad boy. I love the look of android and want it installing but it always seems harder for me to put it on then any of you whizzes out there.

I followed what I though to be the correct method (i.e put on chuckyROM and used HPSL3 to do something (think the word RADIO rings a bell 2.08 or something ??). Anyway, I put on a few different version of the android build and it booted linux but the on the left hand side of the screen there where a number of vertical white lines on the black background, and there they stayed. This happened for every version of android I found.

I then fully formated the SD card (8Gig class 4) which took a good hour and placed FroyoStone on the card. Put in and booted for it to only get to the down a few lines when booting and stopped on something about opening kernal??

Can anyone give me some tips on how I can sort the issue. I have spent a fair few hours searching through the forums but there is just an information overload sometimes.

Noob out :):confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] foxcheng:
I guess you should modify startup.txt?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thesweeney:
Do you mean the horixontal lines of white text? If so.... are you waiting long enough for it to finish loading??? FIRST BOOT WILL TAKE APPROX 5 MINS OR MAYBE LONGER ON SOME BUILDS.

And if by 'opening kernel' you mean "Jumping to kernel".. then the guy above is probably right, you will more than likely have to edit startup.txt or delete the empty android folder, or put the install into the android folder instead of root.

Search for "jumping to kernel" WITH Quote marks.... there are LOTS of posts on the subject... good luck
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] homer285:
Information overload, what after a few hours? Why not post in the thread of who's release you're using, or keep reading and trying different methods? A few hours IMO is no way near enough for a noob with one post to start a new topic in main thread!

This is the kind of thing that really puts ppl off and really annoys more experienced users. I bet you would ask and demand this and that and when all said and done you never once donated or said thankyou!

I aint no dev or ROM cook but I sure feel put off by the lack of initiative and makes me feel less like donating to this site or devs.

Ignorance aint bliss!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sibeer:
Don't think there is any need in such strong reactions, the OP has just posted in the wrong area when first using the forum.

If you want to get anywhere with android (and to an extent this community and hobby) when starting off choose a popular ROM and stick with it till you know roughly what you are doing. It is then easy to see how others have got theirs set up and what problems people are having. Try to emulate someone else's working setup from their signature, particularly if a few people seem to be using the same combo. As you hit problems raise them in the thread relevant to the area that is causing you issue.

At the moment you don't seem to know what radio you have installed which could be causing issues. I would suggest going back to the start and ensuring you take your time following everything, it gets easier as you go.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] wardh:
Do you have another SD card you could try with? 1 hour format sounds a bit long for 8gb. Also, you should try changing to a newer radio like 2.12.50.02. You can download it from here:

http://www.vbnfiles.com/HD2 Common/Radios/

Make sure you put the Android folder at the root of you sdcard (d:\Android)

Good luck and be careful with your HD2.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ganklah:
Hi,

I have a Hero (A6262) bought in australia (from australian retailer) and have successfully rooted/ran custom Roms previously.

I currently have Arman's bootloader installed and can easily switch between custom roms.

however, I simply want to revert back to the shipped rom (for warranty purposes) but every single original HTC RUU I have tried errors with "invalid custom ID". I've tried every single WWE stock RUU from the "[ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links" list... but to no avail...

Could anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong, or to point me to the correct RUU please?

thanks for your time

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pupadi:
I'm looking for an android phone for my wife (she's been using a SE earlier) shortlisted these two phones to have the required features. Now I'm in a dilemma to choose which one to go for. I'm looking for following features -

* Good Camera (at least it should be good for photos)

* Music and FM (mostly MP3s)

* Usability (UI, speed, hangs, any other short comings)

* Application availability and usability ('m ready to root it though)

* GPS and Wifi (for maps and app download, rarely used for browsing)

* Bluetooth (file transfer)

* Standard Ports (3.5MM for Audio and USB for Charging and Data)

* Android Support (Current version and future releases)

all your inputs are highly appreciated..

(Also, 'm wondering should I wait till Xperia X8 released, arrrghhh.. :confused:)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] K.D.M.:
I have a x10 mini pro and im amazed by it.. it works perfecty and fast. nice qwery keyboard.. superd...

the only downside is that the screen is smaller then i thought... i would have thrown a regular mini away. the pro has the keyboard that makes ik better.

i would go for a legend.. if i could return mine and get a legend i would..

but eventho the mini is still great... dont know the wildfire.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Contrarian:
I'm bias toward the x10 but you'd probably be happier with the wildfire. From what I've seen you can even install a custom 2.2 ROM provided the phone is rooted.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Weencent:
X10 mini won the award for this years best phone, and id you do a little research you will find out that the wildrfire is extremely slow device. Ut got 2/6 ing my country x10 got 6/6
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Clivectmob:
I would say that sense ui is very pretty and does give a wow factor, but as is always the case this wears thin after a bit when you realise some of it doesn't work well half the time. After having a desire dr some time I rooted it an tried various vanilla android rom's and prefer it now to any overlay. It can be made as pretty if you so desire but at least generally speaking most of the app's from the market work properly and so make the phone far more functional. The mini is far quicker than the wildfire and is much smaller to boot. The only thing I will say is that using a qwerty keyboard on the mini is not good as the screen is just a bit too small for it despite the resolution being the same.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
You can compare the specs:

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_x10_mini-3125.php

vs

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_wildfire-3337.php

Main differences:

* Wildfire is bigger (which makes the screen a little easier to use) and heavier

* X10mini has a faster CPU

* Wildfire comes with 2.1 (With a 2.2 upgrade expected) - X10mini comes with 1.6 (with a 2.1 upgrade soon, maybe 2.2 eventually)

* Wildfire has ~40% bigger battery

* Wildfire uses HTC Sense, X10mini uses SE's own frontends (which some people here seem to really dislike, but I personally don't mind!)

i do dislike it but ADW with fancy widgets or beautifull widgets and lock pro make it perfect. delete the original homescreen and voila

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tscalzott:
Similar here on various devices, after a couple of days or a couple of months. Removing the account and adding back fixes.

More interesting, perhaps, is that if bring up the mail app and change to a different folder such as "Sent Items" or "Deleted Items", you will see it successfully sync that folder. It's only the inbox.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tscalzott:
This defect seems to be centered around resolution of sync conflicts.

A better workaround than removing the account on the device and adding it back is to use the Exchange Mobile Device Admin, search for the user's partnership, and delete the active partnership. The next sync will work.
