Using the Camera function with screen off - HD2 General

Hi guys, I have my HD2 order placed so I do not have it yet, but does anyone know if it is possible to use the camera function with the screen turned off (I know that you can't see what you are recording).

(bump)
Anyone??

Hmmm, don't think so... is it an idea to set brightness to 10 or something?

HD2 keypad light stays On while screen is ON?

Hi
Is there a method to keep HD2 keypad light On (all the time) while screen is ON and turn it off while in standby?
Thanks
I second that.
Anybody? I've been lookin for such a fix for a long time now.
Specially when I read in my bed and the lights are off i wish for a solution that would keep the lights on for easy navigation.
Thanx in advance
Could be in theory possible with the latest cyanogen builds.
You can specify your buttons luminosity (0-255), depending on your light sensor (dark room for example) !
But it doesn't work with me (hastarin 7.6), maybe with another kernel?
please anyone have a solution?
Yeah !!!
I'm also still looking for à method or a trick to keep my hd2 keypad on as well as the screen remain on...
Please, share, find à solution... tanks.
Did you tried cm 6.1 ?

Yes, I'm using CM6.1 but I dont'know how to solve.
Can you help me?
thanks
Check into cyanogen mod settings, where you can set the screen luminosity depending on the light sensor. On the second column you can set too the buttons backlight. try it and please report if it works. It didn't for me two weeks ago, could be a cm6.1 nighty bug, or our kernel that doesn't recognize well the demand.
Else I was thinking about the xda developer that made blinker, maybe you can ask him for a app that so that, could be very ready for him to do.

Is there anyway to switch them on from the console?
anyone got an answer?
I'm not sure but you can try MDJ kernel s7 with new lights driver. The lights only go off when you press the power button. I hope that what you are thinking of
still no solution???
Hello,
you can turn on your keypad liegt by write 1-255 ind this file "/sys/class/button-backlight/brightness" on your android-device. if you write 0 the light will be off.
The problem ist that the system change after 10 seconds the count to 0.
I like to write an android app which helps that the keypad light stay on.
I havn't much experience in programming an android app. Can anybody tell me how i edit a file?
Anyone know which ROM supports this feature nowadays? Thanks

[Q] Disable Proximity Sensor

Hi,
is there an option for android-HD2s to disable the proximity sensor? I'm sick of the behavior of my device that the screen doesn't turn on again after making a phone call, taking out battery isn't a very useful option...
I already tried the Recalibrator for the sensor (originally for DesireHD), it worked for a few days but now again i've got the problem...
Therefore i'd rather have the screen turned on during the phone call, than having a blocked phone after the call..,
Do you know a solution?

hi, I guess you are using Desire HD rom. If is so I fully understand you. Those build s avery big and laggy. After trying many,many rom s Iwent to this one>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931126
The screen turns on , everything work s fine. And it is crazy fast. Believe me, you will love android after this.
the best DHD Rom is Core Droid, in 1.3 the sensor was good, but in the actual 1.4 its bad again, try it when the next version is out. its very fast and nice skinned, also always good updates like the controls widget in the notifications bar.
Are we talking about the rom for hd2??is there anyone who can help us on the same problem?
I do this that way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16008095&postcount=4

Completely disable button backlights?

Hey guys,
I've searched but I can't find an answer. I'm using an Incredible S ROM on my HD2 at the moment that leaves the hardware keys constantly on when the screen is on - I don't like this, and don't ever need the backlight for the keys as I know where they are now. Is there any way I can disable this totally?
Thanks,
Zuka

Hey,
if your build is using the same init script as rafdroid you can try this:
create a file called "config.txt" on the root of your sdcard copy/type this line: auto_btn_backlight=0 - then reboot.
this is also worked with dandiest builds, so Might work for you.
Hi, thanks for your reply
I'm not running one of Raf's or Dandiest's ROMs, mine doesn't have an init script so this won't work. Is there any other way? Seeing as those ROMs have different button backlight drivers I'm assuming there has to be a way to control their on/off states
I'm not trying to be annoying by bumping, but this keeps falling off the radar and I'm sure there's a way to do this, if anyone could point me in the right direction that'd be awesome

Sound like an unstable ROM. My only advice is to try a different one. If you like pure android you can try tytung's ROM. It's the best, just follow my sig.
...what?
Why does my ROM sound unstable? The button backlights aren't actually causing a problem, I just don't need them. Ever. I'm looking for a way to disable them, but I like (love) my ROM after months of searching

Hey
guessed u didnt have a rom from raf or dandi, they havent released an Incredible S build yet.
mind telling us which Incredible S you have or is it a secret
& you are right, it has nothing to do with stability, its the newer light drivers, this was implemented to fix the led notifications, not sure if you can change this (always on) behavior without going back to the old drivers.
p.s. how do you know your build doesnt have an init script, have you tried the config.txt?
Hey mate,
I'm using Korand's stripped down Incredible S build - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019489
The reason I'm assuming it doesn't have an init script is because, apart from the battery percentage icon, I think everything else is stock, judging from Korand's first psot. It's hard to tell because there's not much support for the ROM
I wouldn't mind going back to the old light drivers though, or just rendering both the notification LEDs and button backlights inoperable. Don't use either really

Theres an app in android market for that...its called "ADJ Brightness" which basically allows yoy to adjust and lock the screen brightness. It can be set to extremely low (much lower than android lowest setting...or extremely high, again higher than android default max
But if you hit menu then chose "options" there near the bottom you will see the option to Lock the button lights OFF...works a treat and saves me a lot of battery jiuce. Also in this options menu you can chose to have the little charging led either On or Off...I find this used in conjunction with "button saviour" and another app that allows me to wake the phone with the volume rocker means i dont need to use the H/W keys at all
Dont know if this is what your after but hopefully it may help.
Thanks Con, I installed the app
It does let me control the hardware buttons, allows me to turn them off, but whenever I press them they just come back on again, despite checking "always off" in the settings
But at least this shows that they can be controlled, even on an HD2
any other ideas?
Ah, sorry zuka, i have only just noticed this as well...yes it seems the backlight does reactivate when i again use the buttons. However i am using Rafdroid 4.2 rom which allows the backlight to off after 10 seconds. So i guess your issue does lie within your rom
I no longer use the hardware buttons (or very rarely) instead i opt to use the onscreen replacments within button savior, Which is why i didnt notice that the backlight does re-activate when the buttons are used...this seems to overide the adj.bright app. But like i say my light is only on for 10 secs or not at all using adj & BS.
Sorry dude am at a loss as to how you could fix this as it does sound frustrating
Nah, thanks for your reply anyway. It's not like this is a horrible bug, it's just annoying because I don't want the hardware buttons at all, I know that they can be controlled but I just can't figure out how to keep the damn things off...
if anybody has any other ideas, I'd welcome them. at this point I'm stumped
Has anybody been thinking about this for a while and has a solution?
Hey
ADJ Brightness should do the work for you
just play with the setting( Menu-option)
lock screen brightness, so it stays off.
good luck
tried this app a while a go and it solved this problem.
