As per the title, does the screen brightness 'Auto' setting and the light sensor actually do anything? Seems to make no difference on mine....

Hi,
yes it did, but I switched it off, cause it was too nervous. Brightness changed all the time when lonely clouds were passing, or the the cloudy thumb cast a shadow.

Yes it works!:
Use Shagctrl to lower brightness and then switch it on. The brightness level you chose will be the minimum level.
If you cover the sensor in the top right-hand corner, the screen will dimm. When you aim you flashlight on it, it will brighten.
(at least... mine does...)
However, I don't use it, because my hand will frequently get in the way when I use the touchscreen and then my screen brightens suddenly... Verry anoying.

Hi,
this is a different question, but I didn't want to open another thread.
Who can confirm this?
Vista is running in the "background". Your are in WM, but have shut-down WM. So dark screen. But then exactly when Vista goes into standby (green light starts to blink) the WM screen comes to live.
Is that strange? Or just always the case?
Thanks!
S.

Hi Pantaloonie,
this looks like capital punishment for me, so sorry! Next question from several feet under.
Let me explain:
I am rather a newbie using forums like this, means the does and do nots are not always clear. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
My thoughts were 1. the point was answered and 2. there are so many items on the site that it is not necessary to always start a new thread for every minor problem.
Wrong thinking?
Please, I really do not know, can you clarify? Do you really start a new thread for everything?
Thanks!
S.
Heh, I was just having a bit of fun, you did nothing wrong. Some forums can be very strict about keeping threads on topic, but we are pretty relaxed here.
The advantage of starting a new thread is that more people will see it, you're more likely to get an answer.

Anyone noticed that the detail/zoom level isn't as good as it could be?
e.g. try to find Piccadilly Circus in London.
I am told that the HTC Touch 3G and the iphone shows better res.
I believe the HD is having same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532745
Is this device specific?
Anyone have ideas?
The search is great is a great app so want to keep this.
Have upgraded to 3.2 - no change
low resolution??
Got to be kidding...
Just take a look at these printscreens:

I think the OP is referring to the amount of Zooming In which can be done on Satellite view before GoogleMaps stops displaying the view and shows blank screen.
I agree with the OP, I've noticed the same thing. I don't have any answers but would love it if someone has some insight.

Hi
The zooming level hasn't changed at all, it is just the high resolution screen in a small area that means when you zoom in things don't seem so magnified than they would on a computer monitor for example.
If you take a screen crap and display that on your monitor and compare with the zoom level via a PC and I think you will find them the same.
Regards
Phil
I think it's true to say you need very good eyesight to use the TD2 screen to the full

You joke about it, I'm seriously considering reading glasses specifically for when I'm surfing on the TD2, to save using the zoom bar all the time! OK, I'll need them soon anyway, but that will be the main use!
Google maps zoom level
I don't think you understand my problem - maybe you don't have the same problem?
See the 3 screenshots. 2 taken from Opera and one from Google maps.
The Google maps is at least 2 or 3 levels of zoom less than that from using the browser.
The backlight from the hardware-buttons works only after pushing one of the buttons... In fact, I think that's one push to late... ... certainly when you are in the darkness...
Is there a possibility to let them lighting up at the same time as the screen-backlight?
Hmm intresting, I want to put out the backlight of the hardware-buttons to save battery time. This is a common subject then

You won't save any battery time.. there lit up by a LED.. So they don't consume anything, ok.. a very little bit. But that won't extend your battery time.
I've got a feeling it may be implemented at a very low level, rather like the vibrate when the TD2 boots, and therefore not be adjustable. But what do I know...

Nobody who knows a trick for this?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight]
"QKeyLedTimeout"=dword:00000078 or dez=120 (sec.)
I have set the backlight duration to 120 secs as my screen-backlight is set to rwo mins. too.
Hope this helps
PS: Of course it would be better if the button-LED would be on as long as the screen backlight.
Edit: I discovered now that this will not work for Topaz. Sorry.

This cab does exactly what I want...
In the light: no backlight for the buttons.
In the dark: instant backlight for the buttons when screen is active.
I know some people won't want to do this, but it's something I do that I personally find helps with battery life. Nothing revolutionary, and some people won't want to but... different strokes for different folks. It's very tempting with this beautiful screen of ours to blast the brightness and get the most out of the Super AMOLED (or whatever they're calling it these days) but I've found if I'm in the same environment reading/watching videos/whatever to turn the brightness ALL the way down. Struggle with that for a few minutes while your eyes try to adjust, then turning the brightness up just a tiny bit will be (or at least seem) plenty bright. Anyway, combining that along with having rooted with Scott's CleanROM (I'm on Verizon) and my battery life has been golden! [emoji2]
Here's a screenshot of where I'll often have my brightness after doing this.

Seems really low, but I have no problem reading or doing anything at this brightness, unless I'm out in direct sunlight or something. Anyway, just my .02

This is not a trick.
Suggestion then
I use the slider on the left to turn down the brightness in mxplayer which is my de facto movie watching app.... Turn it to 15 in bright day time environments and down to 5 indoors or in dark scenarios. Otherwise the system wide default is +5 on the notification slider and auto. Able to cross 5.5 SOT easily with this much.
I have a trick to open the phone. I use the power button on the side or the home button on the front of the phone.

I've been wondering how to open the phone, thanks!
You should try out adaway! It's much more powerful than adblockplus, it actually modifies the host file. Also, try out lux if you haven't. It's seriously my favorite and most essential app. I don't know how I survived without it all these years.

Hello All,
Sad to report that the display of my mako started dying :crying:

Looks like this is the end of my mako after 6.5 long years :good: I'll always miss this awesome phone :good: It introduced me to the world of android (yes, that was my first android phone) and I learnt a lot about android and learnt about building and maintaining custom ROMs.
Regards,
Nitin
On one of my two N4s, I had an inactive area in the center of the screen. After uploading CARBON-CR-6.1-NOCT-WEEKLY-mako-20180501-1310.zip the screen has been repaired. I was surprised.
Since then I do not change ROM on this phone anymore. I tried to load this ROM on my second N4, with an inactive area at the bottom, but it did not help.
Is it possible to adjust (decrease or increase) the voltage of the touch screen electric current?
P.S.
You can still use a limited range of such a phone after pairing with a BT mouse and/or MyPhoneExplorer.

That's interesting to know that carbon helped you. On my case, it's already running latest version of carbon
Apart from touch screen, the power button is also giving up. I've to let it go...

Green glow, only shows on black or dark screens. Tested with a burn check app for this picture. I toggled all screen options on and off in various configurations, including all the adpative stuff and Soli. No changes. When I press the screen, a normal press anywhere, the glow will change slightly. I'm approved for an RMA, but I'm wondering if anyone else can see this before I do that.
I used night sight for the picture, so the green glow is more pronounced than with the naked eye.
Have not noticed this on mine.
Where did your purchase it from? Hopefully the exchange is smooth!

Purchased from Google. Already approved for an RMA, just don't want to do that if it's widespread, or if it's not a real issue (is not consistently glowing, sometimes it's there, sometimes not).

Yeah send it back.
The one and only place I've seen anything remotely close is the YouTube music app. Screenshot brightened to enhance glow....
That's intended, though. To show you when the radar is looking for gestures.

Right, at first I thought that's what my glow was, Soli being active. It's in the same exact location, which would make suspicious it has something to do with the Soli light. Thanks for the help all

Just disable motion sense, launch spotify or youtube music and check if the glow still shows on top of the screen. If not, then it's for sure the indication of soli radar checking for movement. However it should not be green...
