hi all
i need some help from you guys
I have a vario II serial 632 and I have notice that when you switch on the phone and my t-mobile logo is a bit dim at start and then goes bright for a second and then bit dim and stays that way in the desktop mode, not to0 dim but this is the help I need form you guys as i have no accesses to another vario II to test. I have also noticed that when you switch on camera the screen goes brighter the same brightness as the logo brightness (for a second ) and stays that way. Then if u press ok button ( not the cross or application close button) the application gets minimized and u can see desktop bright for a second and goes dim again and go back to cam goes bright again. But close cam and screen come back to a different brightness same as desktop brightness.
I was wondering if this normal or is it just with my handset. As I can still get it changed by t-mobile if its faulty
any help would be really Appreciated
thanks in advance
This is normal behaviour, every Hermes device does that. I think having that very high level of brightness active all the time would make the backlight lamps age really quickly and eventually make them unusable. That is why HTC decided to only use it in the camera application where you need it to be able to use the display as viewfinder also in rather bright sunlight.
Cheers

I used my Magician at SuperBrite for a year and it's as bright as ever. I think the phone will be obsolete before the screen will be, which is why I wrote VJLumos I, II and III.
VJLumos III, available on this forum, makes the Hermes super brite all the time.
(And if the screen lamp fades < 1 year, I guess you're covered by your warranty).

thanks a lot guys
you guys are great
Camera mode brightens the display by 2 notch... to enable u to usethe display as a good viewfinder even on a daylight..

Has anyone else noticed that when you turn on the camera function of the Jam, the screen goes a notch brighter? Even with the default brightness set to maximum, there is a noticable difference. This can also be seen when the PDA is turned on from the power button -- for a split second. Has anyone figured out a way to set the default screen setting to use this level of brightness?
I've noticed it, and i posted a thread a while back but didn't get an answer
I've looked throught the registry but haven't been able to get it brighter, any of you master tweakers found anything?
this would be a GREAT feature, because -- just for that split second -- the words on the today screen look White and Clear! I've even played with it in the direct sunlight, and I can actually see what the screen says easily. Of course, I only get that breif view of it...
i have been looking everywhere to see if there is anyway to brighten the screen more, and nothing so far. I wonder if any of the brilliant developers on this site would take a look at the question, please
Hi All,
Got, (Finally) my Tytn 3 days ago.
2 quick questions, (that might sound stupid to some of you.... )
1. is there a key-light on the QWERTY keyboard?
2. when I'm outdoors, (sun light) the screen is almost unreadable....
Any suggestions?
Thanks
1) yes.
2) increase backlight

1) yes.
2) increase backlight

Click to collapse
so how do I turn the keyboard light on?
The brightness is set to MAX......
10x
the keyboard light turns on automatically when the room brightness is not enough (there's a light sensor between the "P" key and the green phone key)
For screen backlight.. I don't know.. mine works well even in high sunlight (when set to maximum brightness) however there's a tool from vj that increases backlight over the maximum value (like when you start the "camera mode") but as far as I know it can be used for small amounts of time (if you don't want to damage your device)

VJ has an app that will allow the screen to overbright like it does for the camera. It is in the latest WM6 rom. its called BrightScreen.
This helps a little in really sunny places but I also find the screen hard to read outdoors.
The Keyboard has an auto sensor that should activate it only in low light conditions. Change this setting under Settings > Buttons > Backlight Tab

I sticked a glare-reducing screen protector on it.

While playing with my HERMES I noticed the following:
First:
The screen is not as bright as on the WIZARD!
Second:
When turning on the camera you shortly can see that the backlight gets increased while opening the CAMERA application. Now, that tells me that there could be a way to increase the background backlight permanently over its default maximum.
Has anyone an idea? I tried already to raise the registry values for backlight without success.

There is a program by VJ called super bright I believe it what you are looking for, if so post a little love for VJ's hard work here is the link

Well, it makes the screen nice and bright - that's for sure!
The drawback's on this neat little application: You can't shut it down other than restarting the PDA, you can't adjust brightness and you can't use the CAMERA as long as the application runs.
I just wonder if the brightness could be increased via Registry Hack - that would be great!
how very odd! i've noticed that comparing my Vario I (Wizard) with my Vario II (Hermes) the Hermes has a considerably better and brighter screen! the colours are a lot more 'fuller'!
i havent tried the 'VJ' app, but will do when i get home,
why would you want it so bright anyway?!
Well, the brightness helps while watching a movie on the go!
Also if you do some work on the road or navigation in the car it comes in handy. I just wish the application mentioned above would not have so many side effects ...

I just 'click or ok' Super Bright the same way to turn it on or off (no pda restarts needed).
Run the program again to shut it off. I mapped it to one of the hardware buttons.
Thank you vijay555!
it is possible ?
I'm using the KAISER, when in a building i set the brightness to low becuase it has a very bright screen and it's just a waste of battery
But when i go outside i can't see a thing, need to set it to high again
And then i just forget to set it to low again
is it possible to make it be automatic ?
(bright outside - high brightness, dark outside - low brightness)
Thanks !
p.s.
does the KAISER have a light sensor like the Universal's keyboard light sensor ?
if so, is it possible to use that ?
ah man i hear you. when my sister got her blackberry pearl, and i saw it automatically change brightness, i was jealous. aha. unfortunately, the sensor is hardware thing.
i'm not sure about the kaiser but i know the hermes has a keyboard light sensor, but it's on the keyboard, and only says whether to turn on the keyboard backlight or not. not too useful, i'd think.
Hermes and Kaiser have front cameras...
but camera is a no-no for battery
Even once a minute, or on power-on?
Well, maybe yes.
I nice Solution would be a Button you press it, and the Brightness gets configurated automaticly: perfect for battery because you do this only on need!
And there could be a standart brightness reseted after having standby on
I dont know how to use the Camera in VB.Net someone knows?
I was thinking more in the direction of the front camera and the timer ....but bettery above all .... if it is possible it would be awsome !
the buton pressing idea is (forgive me) pointless ... if i wanted to press a button i might as well press the on screen button i already have ! (spb mobile shell)
thanks for the idea though !
it's great to see so many people taking interest, hope it will stick !
SPB software is my solution. You can map your jog dialer for brightness. I use that for volume, so I use touch screen to slide my brightness.

look at the screenshot or demo. Map the brightness as botton4 is a option because brightness is a program link for you to set what ever button as you wish.
blah, i have an at&t 8525, so i forgot about the front facing camera. my current solution is to set the backlight to reasonable indoor setting, and i have VJLumos mapped to my Button5 press&hold. so whenever i go outside, I run VJLumos, and when I get back inside, I run VJLumos again (which turns it off) and it automatically goes back to the previous backlight setting.
is there possibility to FORCE the SUN LIGHT mode?( when the phone gets very bright on sun light....)
you know when you hold the note 4 with direct sun light on it, it gets extremely bright and you can see the screen very good...
i want to have the possibility to make it that bright when i want and not just on sun light (cause when i'm not in direct sun light it also hard to see)
i tried looking in setting but nothing there... i can put it on high bright but never like that brightens in sun light
any idea what i can do?? maybe some tweak or app?
thanks
p.s. if root needed for that - is there any root for note 4?! and any guide how to root it...? thanks
any body knows.....??
Can't you just set the brightness to MAX?
its not the same as it get extremely bright.. that why i'm asking
As I know auto bright should do trick , more than that may damage screen as I know.
nothing else i can do to force this ??
I'm really curious if anyone has found a way. It drives me insane how useful the feature is on a sunny day but if a shadow of any sort including my own head or hand goes over the sensor the screen dims. In fact with Auto brightness enabled it actually goes dimmer than it would with Auto turned Off.
back in the day when i had the note 2 there was a guy who made an app for that. It needed root to work though and you have to apply it every time you reboot the device.
The app was called: a brighter note
maybe he cares todo the same for the note 4 if you ask him
I also need this. it is not BRIGHTER it alters the colors of the screen (they appear paler more washed out) but this results in it beeing EXCEEDINGLY more visible in bright sunlight.
I use my note 4 as a 4k camear with my 60mm moment lens mounted to my SLR so I can shoot pictures and video at the same time. alas it ALWAYS switches away from this optimal mode unless I aim the sensor DIRECTLY into the sun itself. any deviation and it switches back rendering the screen nearly "black" relatively speaking. useless
but that high contrast brightness mode is a DREAM. quite usable ! I want to force that to stay on. also can I do it for a Note 3?
