Britghtness comparison

Hi everyone,
It seems to me that my QTEK 9100 's screen is a lot more bright than my M3100.
And i could'nt find anything about someone mentioning that in any forum (xda or other).
Has anyone noticed that ? Il find it annoying realy.
Thanks
You din't search the right way, screen brightness has been discussed two times already:

Use VJLumos II to increase brightness, it works on the Hermes...
Almost
I might be getting a Hermes soon. If I do, I'll finish VJLumos II.

Well thanks a lot for your VERY QUICK answer.
It seems that i need to improve my searching method.
Thanks for your works. As soon (and if) you fix the problem with having to soft reset before using the camera, you will get a donation, for sure.
Such things do make my life easier and avoid frustation from having a good device with stupide restrictions from supplier.
Hope to hear some news soon....

Well... this is a great news !

:shock:
So just how brighter is this superbright setting then?
It's brighter, guessing about 10%. Why not try it?
Or start the camera and you'll get the same effect.

Ah, gotcha. N1
For the Hermes, see here:

Blurry wallpaper

I know that someone posted a tread about this issue on XDA or some place else on the net, but for the life of me I can't find the thread now. I am trying to figure out why my wallpaper on my lock screen is clear, but when I use the same wallpaper for the Today screen the image looks grainy. Does anyone have a link to the thread that discussed this problem, or an answer as to why this occurs? I know this has been discussed before, so I apologize for bringing it up again. I am probably just putting in the wrong words in my search.

reaganh22, It was designed to overcome the exact issue that you're dealing with...the way sense doesn't display wallpapers you choose in full high-res glory. It takes a little learning, but it's awesome once you get the hang of it. Let us know if you need a hand getting it to work for you
Thanks so much guys! That was one of the threads I came across, but thought I had seen another one. It looks like this should do the trick though.

Best swype settings that work for you?

I'm still pretty knee to swype so I'm wondering what settings work for you with accuracy, consistency, and speed. I have a hard time getting want instead of wasn't.
Sent from my SGH-T959
Swype settings? I just use Swype the way it was preloaded onto the phone. I caught up super quick. I will never go to another phone without swype.
I've been bumping up the accuracy vs. speed slider and it seems to help as bit.
Sent from my Vibrant using the XDA app.
Typos, incorrect words, gibberish, and other nonsense brought to you courtesy of Swype.
Best thing that worked for me? ACTUALLY using their tutorial. Totally helped, and I've been loving Swype ever since. Amazing.
i use stock settings (except i turned off audio feedback cause it was annoying). i went through the tutorial. but the thing that helped me most getting used to swype was using it after a couple beers (not drunk, but just a little buzzed). it helped me try to go faster and see the how accurate you have to be while not trying to over think it. now swype is like second nature. once i got swype on my g1 i pretty much completely quit using the hard keyboard and haven't looked back since.
also, knowing how to use the correction feature is nice. like if it brings up the selection, and the word you want is the first choice, you can just start typing the next word and that one is automatically chosen. and after about a week or two you should have most of the words not in the swype dictionary added in which makes it quicker and easier.
I'm using stock settings also. It has just worked really well right out of the box. My iPhone buddies at work are soooo jealous.
What helped me the most was the tips and tricks short videos on the swype website. I highly recommend watching them. I learned a lot of good tricks there:

Thanks man, I got it down pretty fast, but I have trouble getting some words every time, WANT, is one of them. I do the hopping thing and it seems to help.
I know the thread is a bit old but I think it's still relevant.. Here are what I consider to be the best swype settings. These are of course my own opinion but they work really well.

This is an older thread I made on this topic with what I consider the ideal settings:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843171
I'd strongly encourage using the latest beta (not the stock swype). Night and day difference. The autocorrect feature SUCKS in my opinion.
EDIT, also.. put up what I consider a great guide on my blog:

Video guide "beta"

Hey fellas!
I've spent the last couple weeks making a bunch of tutorials and things for people just getting into the scene and those that want to learn a new thing or two. I got tired of seeing all the crappity crap crap videos that were OK but nothing stellar, and usually poor quality resolution wise. Here's a taste of what I've been up to. I hope to have the core of my series done by the end of the week. I say hope because I've redone every video 2-3 times, and I keep finding something new to play with each time.
So, with that. This is a link invite only. I'd just like to know what you guys think, or if maybe you have some ideas you'd like me to take a shot at. I do have more interactive videos that zoom, highlight, and point out things when it requires steps to do so (i.e Odin which is a GREAT video so far). Most of my videos have 3 vantage points. The computer screen, the screen on the phone, and me handling the phone sometimes simultaneously.
Here is just a taste of what I'm up to.
***Edit***
I added the first video so you guys can get a better idea. I've only activated the rooting option at the end, which should take you to the second video (original one I posted) Enjoy!

Dude, that is very professional looking..... very, very nice. Thank you for using my sticky as a background, looks cool scrolling.
Are the links at the end going to take you to future videos?

yes, and a link takes you to this video should you choose the rooting direction. Those videos are mostly done, but aren't linked yet. I think you'll be surprised on what I've done with them.
Really looking forward to it, when all done... this will be at the top of each sticky (General and Q&A).
I did some videos for the noob guide that are not even close to this in quality (my daughter was sleeping next to me, shot with a nexus one, and no editing). One thing that I do get asked a lot is when going from eclair > froyo > eclair. How to ODIN back to stock... and flashing kernels (about the simplest thing ever). I imagine you touched on some of this already, just giving some feedback to you that I received.
Here is a good guide on going back to stock, just in case:

Yup, so far I've got my core essentials in. It's just fine tuning them and making sure I like them. Basically a person who has never seen a vibrant will be able to decide what they want to do with their phone, rooted or not. There is the intro which give you a choice to root, or not to root, or what is root if they're clueless. From there, it branches out to theming and rooting topics. Hopefully by the start of next week I'll be able to do some of the kernal flashing details and the different roms going around so people can see visually what's going on and decide before hand what that particular angle is all about.
Looks great!
Nice work!
