[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] schiphol:
I'm so happy to read this threat. I had posted questions about display and auto brightness a couple of months ago in the questions section but never received any credible responses.

My problem is that when I turn auto brightness on, not only does my display get exceptionally dark, but it becomes very noticeable that e.g. grey turns more brownish. Comparing my display to yet another Galaxy S confirmed my suspicions that this is not they way the display is supposed operate, i.e. compared to mine the other Galaxy stayed a lot brighter in equal lighting conditions and the grey remained grey (instead of brownish-grey like mine). I compared the grey tones of the numeric buttons in the stock Dialer APP to conclude this.

I suspectED the light sensor might be defective, but I have run the test menu on a couple of Galaxies (*#0589#) and the units always display the same values when put next to mine.

You might see why this is bugging me so much, it seems my galaxy's display is not using less battery even though I get less brightness than the others on auto brightness. Unless I manually bump up the brightness to full the colors on my screen look dull (grey turns Brownish, and over all it looks not as alive) as compared to other units. Simply bumping the brightness up is of course not an option, this drain the battery like crazy.

EDIT: I too have tried the various Kernels, hardcore warm and cold, voodoo w/ color fix sadly all to no avail

EDIT2: @embrion The above all doesn't explain why our phones have this problem, but the far majority of Galaxy S phones doesn't. Of course I cannot statistically back this up, but I have not physically seen any other device that gets brown on autobrightness like ours. Any Ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] embrion:
Do you say your friend's Galaxy S doesn't turn brownish or it does but gives higher brightness than your device in same lighting conditions?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] schiphol:
It does not turn brown and appears much brighter in equal lighting w/ auto brightness ON. I edited my post above, please read again if it was unclear before. Thank you!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] embrion:
You should check it at manual brightness at level set few steps higher than min. I'd like to separate brownish display problem at one brightness level from inproper light sensor measure
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] schiphol:
Like I said, the light sensor does not give an improper measure, the readings in *#0589# menu are equal across the devices (including mine). The brownish color tones do, to some degree, disappear if the brightness bar is set two ticks to the right of minimum.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xos84292:
(Auto)brightness corrections

Original Auto Brightness level is too high & sluggish.

It 's need to fix like a voodoo Brightness level fix (2.1 only).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] embrion:
Yes, mine too. Second step from min. setting. I'll ask guys at my local forums to get some statistics. If your friend doesn't have such problem at the same color/theme than it must be display fault
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] schiphol:
Which CSC code do you have? I mine was originally XEN (Netherlands). The units I tested that did not have the problem were all DBT (german Sim free). Just asked my brother and he says his phone also gets brownish (also XEN). Have to check product codes later, will update then.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] embrion:
Mine is XEE (Orange, Poland)

Supercurio did some tinkering with those settings:

I suspect this is the file we need to modify;

#ifdef CONFIG_VOODOO_MDNIE
// Voodoo color: optimized UI mode
// reduce the sharpness filter radius to make it much closer

// it causes harm on stock settings (exaggerated colors)

0x00C8, 0x008D,
0x00D0, 0x00C0,
END_SEQ, 0x0000,

Any thoughts and datasheet quotations on this? Because seriously I see just random numbers in this.

Some interesting code begins around line 315, but seriously I'm clueless :)

Another interesting file:

https://github.com/project-voodoo/l...2/Kernel/drivers/video/samsung/s3cfb_tl2796.c

My screen has brownish/reddish deep grays on brightness settings under 16-17%. However when I set it over 17% and use screen filter app deep grays are NOT brownish/reddish, this means there is definitely something with lower brightness settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] embrion:
Xan, check out the link I've posted in the first post. He gives sources that might be helpful :)

And the problem appears only at 2nd step of brightness (counted from zero brightness)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] schiphol:
@embrion so did you pm Supercurio? What did he say? It's too bad this color/sharpness fixing will probably be put on a back burner what with Gingerbread and CM7 development. D*RN IT! I tried an app in the market that is more precise than the built-in slider. Try it out Adjbrightness (free). I punched in all values possible between 2-255. The tipping point (where the browness is gone) lies at when you go from 34 to 35. Is this the same for everyone suffering from this problem. Please remove all apps like e.g. 'screen filter' before you try!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
For me crucial step is going from

/ # echo 53 > /sys/devices/platform/s3cfb/spi_gpio.3/spi3.0/backlight/s5p_bl/brightness

to 54, however I'm running trasig's voodoo.

While 54 and over looks ok, lower values are... reddish/pinkish.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] embrion:
@schiphol: yes I did but no response. In dark colored Gingerbread era, this problem will be become more and more evident.

@xan: dzieki :) I'll flash latest Darky as it is based on trasig's voodoo and try your fix.

--edited--

Supercurio just responded me, I'll let you know about results
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
No fix there, just a different behaviour... :P

Would like to see this in next voodoo, might even write some simple user interface for this.

I have an idea but its not quite clear yet, however if this patch will let most users 'calibrate' their screens.. I think I'll give simple GUI a shot. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] schiphol:
@embrion

Could you perhaps upload the screenshots you talked about in R64's thread so I can replicate. Because of different kernels and settings I want to try and establish beyond a doubt that the problem we're having is of the same nature and root cause. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
This wont be visible on screenshots. You need to make a photo, problably with DSLR and know how to do it ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] embrion:
I'll try it today and let you know :)

According to Supercurio, this is Samsung's color profile deviation, not SAMOLED fault itself.

Anything software broken can be software fixed :)

@schiphol, xan: yes, it won't be noticed at screenshots, I've already compared R64's black notification bar screenshots and my brown ones. Color picker showed a little difference in color (R:24, G:24, B:24 or something VS RGB: 0, 0, 0 - true black). Such difference should'n be visible and is not visible from software screenshot point of view but Samsung color profile makes 24,24,24 brown IN REAL LIFE while 0,0,0 is still black. I repeat, they're both black at screenshots no matter which brightness level is set, but only 0,0,0 black doesn't look like brown when viewed by bare human eye. Samsung profile at this brightness treats 24,24,24 as brown while it should as black.

--edited--

You're right, Xan. It's just another, ( but 1337 ;) ) method of changing the brightness. I thought there's a plaintext table with levels accessible to change by hand
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] schiphol:
Hi Ok I have kept the brightness at 2 clicks to the right from minimum to stop grey from looking grey-brown all through today. Now my display accounts for 95% of the battery usage, it has never been this high before. The battery is at 25% whilst I only used the display for 44 minutes.

Thats ridiculous battery drainage and should be taken into careful consideration when a fix is developed for this issue. Are you guys having a similar experience??

[Defy General] Passa91:
Hi guys,

I've found (and tried) virtually every free flashlight app in the market. While most of them do work with the Defy, none of them initiate the LED light anywhere nearly as brightly as the Camcorder app does when the video light is on.

Does anyone know where I can find an app that'll use the Defy LED to its full power?

[Nook Color General] nookierookie:
I've got a script launched through a gscript bookmark on my home screen that remaps the volume keys as Back/Home -- and a script that switches it back to the normal volume control. Basic structure is identical to the Ad-Hoc WiFi fix.

Unlike the Ad-Hoc wifi fix that is immediately useable, the remapped hardware buttons require a reboot to go into effect.

Is there any way for this to take place WITHOUT requiring a reboot?
[Nook Color General] >DARKMAN<:
no even if you just use root explorer to change the key layout (easiest way)

you still have to reboot.

When you follow the link via your android phone you will see the Download option in the webpage. When you click on it then it will lead you directly to the market place. From there you can download it.

Another method is to go to the android marketplace and search for "flip clock blue magic" you will find the same app there and you can directly install it.

Hi all

Hope someone can help

Bought my son a 7" epad/tablet for Christmas.

Problem is when I set up a Wi-Fi network on my HTC the tablet wont find/see it.

I have no problems linking my HTC phone Wi-Fi network to my laptop if I am out. And the epad/tablet finds my home internet Wi-Fi and hotspots outside home with no problem.

So I know the Wi-Fi network on my HTC phone works

And I know the tablet can see Wi-Fi networks.

The tablet just will not find my HTC one.

Does anyone know why or what I need to do to get around this issue please?

My only thought is that the HTC is on 3G and thats why?

Kind regards

Hello guys,

so I don't know if anyone know about this problem.. Arabic letters alone have different shape from when they are in words... like

A H M A D ا ح م د

AHMAD احمد

so the 1st line are the letter separated, 2nd line are the same letters but have different look when they are in a word... (hope you get it!)

Anyway, android cant link the letters and keep them like that 1st line....

2nd problem: Arabic (with some other languages) is from right to left, and android show it from left to right (some programs fix this like opera)

These 2 problems A LOT of users are complaining of...

so anyone who is familiar with this problem, how can I fix it?

Thanx,

if you read the news about DFT and their success flashing Android on the HTC HD2 device , you know what I am talking about.

If you want future fast Android ROMs , flashed on the Diamond itself without Windows Mobile and Haret Booter vote for this !!!

Here is a guide how to sign up and vote:

1. Go to http://www.darkforcesteam.com.cn/register.php

2. Enter your Login Data

3. Go to http://www.darkforcesteam.com.cn/thread-25090-1-1.html

4. Vote for 1. 希望DFT開發組開發钻石一代直刷安卓 (Diamond)

NOTE: You have multiple choice. So you can vote on all 3 of the phones (Diamond, Diamond 2, and Touch Pro2).

Also you should know that HTC Raphael , Fuze,Touch Pro , HTC Rhodium, Tilt2, HTC Blackstone , HTC Topaz are almost identical in that manner. (Currently you can boot the same Diamond Android ROM via Haret just by changig the apropriate Startup.txt on any of these devices . So the ROM itself doesnt differ.) So that means progress on Diamond means progress on all of the listed devices
