[Q] Extended Controls widget has blackened my display - help? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I installed the Extended Controls widget including the screen brightness toggle.
After pressing the toggle the screen has changed to 0% brightness, pure black, and I cannot get it back. So my Android phone is working and responding, but I cannot see anything or navigate it.
Does anyone have any suggestions, please?

Desktop dock sleep mode(green clock)

Hello.
I have my desktop dock next to my bed and I'm wondering how to trigger the screen where I get the green clock moving around the screen?
I dont know how its triggered....
I have tried docking the phone while in sleep and while active. And even putting it to sleep while docked but no luck.
(I know there is a button on the clock screen where I can dim the display but I'd prefer just the green clock instead.)
I hope you know what I mean and can help me figure out how to trigger it when my phone is docked.
Thanks.
Long press the dim button on the clock screen will trigger the green/black mode.
Love you!!! Thanks. =)
Hmm.. Another follow up question.. The four navigation buttons at the bottom. How do I turn those off, if possible?

Uhhhhhh......
another question...how do you keep it from going into sleep mode with the green clock...i like the clock with the weather all the time, but it goes into sleep mode after a few minutes..
You can't... nor do you want to. That "green clock" is the screen saver mode. IIRC, it moves around on the screen so we don't get burn in.

Step 1: Put on pants and root.
Step 2: Download 'LEDs Hack' from market.
Step 3: Profit

Date does not change on Screen Saver mode...
Hi,
I'm not sure it's the CM Mod, since I only ran the stock ROM for 1 day.
When on desktop dock and screen saver is on (green screen), say it's 11:00 PM Thursday April 29.
The time stays current, but the the Date does not change on screen saver.
So 3 hours later, it's 2:00 AM, Still Thursday April 29.
The date only adjusts if I leave screen saver mode and go to dock mode.
Um... For my N1, the green/black clock turns on automatically after about a minute or so of the "clock" screen showing. Perhaps the light-sensor triggers it, not sure.. but I just launch the clock app, tap the "dim" button and in about 1-2 minutes it switches to green clock.
P.S: I don't use the google's dock, I use some chinese one with micro-usb, not the 3 "dots" connector.
I've been doing the same as darkdvr...launch the clock app, tap the "dim" button and in a few minutes it switches to green clock.
I've been using the ROM in my signature for about a week, and it never goes to the green clock automatically, which is kind of annoying. Anyone know why? I've asked in the thread for that ROM twice but no one even seems to acknowledge my question.
led hack
I had been using LED Hack on enom's 1.9 and it worked great to dim the 4 lower bottons. When I upgraded to Froyo 2.2 I wiped everything before installing and the 4 buttons at the bottom still dim when I put the phone in the doc. I just figured it was one of the improvements with Froyo. It's not that way for everyone? I never redownloaded the LED Hack.
I pointed it out weeks ago on the "Froyo changes" thread but no one seemed to notice. It's about the only major thing I wanted changed on my N1. ;-)
The clock app has 4 modes
Full with weather (default)
Dim with weather (press the sun symbol)
Green "LED" bright (hold sun symbol, or wait) <- this mode has the 4 leds lit
Green "LED" dim (press sun, then hold) <- on Froyo the 4 leds are off
The green led mode may timeout, to stop this just plug in a power source.

[Q] Screen Reverts to 0% Brightness after Android boot

Kinda a bizzare problem with no fix in sight... Here is how it started:
Last night I was reading texts right before bed. The screen was too bright for the dimly lit room, so I opened up the brightness widget to turn it down and accidently hit 0% with my knuckle ...and before I could press another value/button, screen faded down to black and I couldn't see anything. I could tell it was still on tho, because I could put to sleep, hit power key and swipe L to R blindly on the black screen and feel the vibrate when I "found" the unlock slider (Froyo 2.2)
Now I have hard reset phone and deleted everything I could find associated with Android. I recopied the Android folder to SD and booted. Everything appeared fine till after setting up gmail account, then went right back to blackness like before!
Is there a cache/file that retains these kind of settings? Reg value? I am new to this (WM and Android...HD2 my first phone of this caliber) and would GREATLY appreciate any help or ideas.
Thanks guys
EDIT: So I skipped past setting up gmail, got to home screen and the fade began, but I managed to hit the middle button before it went totally black, and that brought up the app cube, and also kept the screen on! Manually set brightness and I'm in business now! Beware to others about hitting that 0% button! Its a pain...
MODS: Please delete this thread...

help please? brightness is stuck at 0. extended control power widget

hey i downloaded extended control power widget. and when i pressed the brightness button. the screen went black and touch doesnt seem to respond (tried tapping the same place to bring it back...)
the phone is still awake as i can hear lock sounds and such. but i cant get brightness back up at all.
is there a way to fix this? i would assume adb or something
or possibly a script i could load on reboot into android?
Try holding your phone under a very bright light and play a little with the angle. You should see your widgets. This fixed it for me

MIUI ROM brightness set too low

I was playing around with my screen brightness on my mytouch 4g and set it to the lowest it can be set to, and now i can see anything. I've been trying to set it back by bringing down the menu and sliding where I believe the brightness is but It won't work. Are there any other solutions ?

Oh...Sounds like you set it to the black screen...This is what you do then...
1.Turn off the phone
2.Turn it back on and wait a few mins for it to set up
3.Unlock it
4.Pull down notification bar
5.Slide it or press the toggle button
6.Press Brightness button
You should be able to do this if the screen is pitch black, if you remember where the brightness toggle is in the status bar...
Got it! I forgot about the toggle button, thanks a lot.

[Q] Issues with Active Display and Navigation Bar

Hello! I'd like to say thank you too XpLoDWilD and the other developers involved in this ROM. I think it is truly one of the best around!
I have experienced a few issues, and was hoping someone could direct me in order to resolve them. I am currently using a Nexus 5 device!
First off, sometimes i will randomly loose my entire navigation bar when opening messaging or other apps, and have to shut the screen off and turn it back on in order to see the home button, back button or multi task. I am not entirely sure why it does this, but i am using immersive mode now to see if the issue goes away.
Secondly regarding Active Display, It seems the function wonderfully other then when I initially unlock the phone through the active display or enter a notification through the active display, it then unlocks then my old lockscreen appears for a split second and then finally unlocks my device and returns to my normal screen. It happens all within a few seconds.
If anyone could provide me with some insight or direct me to whom i could bring this issue too that would be great thank alot!
+1 on Point 1 (navigation bar disappearing)
2013-01-08 nightly and before
I have the same where the navigation bar disappears completely at times.
I have the same where when active display shows I've received a message/notification and I chose to go the app that the screen blacks out. If I then press home it goes to program.
I also have where the time disappears from the notification bar. If I switch the screen off and unlock again the time is back.
