While reading in night, the LED light of the 4 function keys(at the bottom of Vibrant) is really dazzling.
Anyone knows how to turn it off just by software mod?
Thanks in adv.
Black electrical tape over it
Wear sunglasses to bed?
Seriously though, when I'm reading ebooks with Aldiko, the backlight only comes on during page flips....for all of about a quarter of a second....if that.
I don't know of any software mod to change the timeout period. The Epic4G has a setting for this I believe. Best of luck...
Thanks anyway.
Still waiting......

Use a black sharpie marker. Problem solved
I don't think there is a way to do that as of yet. Maybe you should ask one of thê devs or post this concern in the development section. Ignore the a-holes.

Apologies if this has already been discussed, in which case please indicate the thread to me.
I have burnt out the bright light, which is used as a flashlight for the camera. Has anyone had the same problem and been able to repair it without sending it back for repairs. If positive, where can I find the parts in the United Kingdom?
Many thanks for your assistance

What flashlight app did you use?

Burnt out Camera Flash light
That is the worst thing! I used the camera, not your software to map the key. Closed the XDA, put it in my pocket and the damn flash led stayed on for over an hour!!!
Eric
Bah, humbug. I built timers into mine for just that reason.
If it's under warranty you might be able to get a new for old. Otherwise, I really couldn't say, I don't know if the device is still available in this country

Yes, it is still under warranty, will have to return it. On a separate issue, if it no longer available in the country (but still provided by 02), what is replacing it?

Where, tried everything, maplin, rswww, got some different leds, tried them, nothing works. Really appreciate if you could tell me where to get them. Eric
This is another case for me!
Well, I currently don't have any problems with my universal's "flash light", but it surely is a high intensity white led.
Most of these leds have the same operating voltage and if this is not the case, it will be neccessary just to measure the exact voltage at the led's leads, it might not even be burnt at all, it it's surely driven by a transistor.
I was just watching lumileds page and they have a led that does exactly the "flash" function, they even mention a competitor (I don't who it is but might be osram or another), what's also important is that phisically is that the led has to be phisically similar and the wors thing that can happen is that might be dimmer than the original.
I'll try to find out something more...
bye for now

Looks good.
one thing I noticed is that when the keyboard pops up, its not swype. I thought it was supposed to come with swype? maybe it does but you have to enable it? but if they advertise it as coming with swype, you'd think that would be the default keyboard. not that it matters to me since I'll install it either way.
The pictures are awesome, this phone is gonna rock. Come on kick ass multitouch controller.
Damn finally there's a preview out there. I've been checking cnet and the link you provided every damn day. This is about to own it up.
Thanks for providing the link.

It has swype don't worry.
Looks great. Its the nexus one lil brother thats learn all his tricks
But one thing i dont like and i said it before is the placement of the micro usb. How will you make phone cars while its on the charger? Its right there were your hand will go.
*edit
Does the keyboard not ligth up? Whats with that? and
any see what i dont? The with google logo and the G2 logo?
You think its just the test models or will they all be like that?

was flipping through screen shots and their a htc logo at boot. looks like no google and g2 logo. backlit keys would be awesome as well as trackpad notifications.
That was a prototype model, you can see the engraved serial number on the front of the device.
Tight photos but still no indication that it will go into landscape mode w/o sliding up the screen to reveal the keyboard?
If anyone knows. Holla at me.

yeah the keyboard lights up. it has a light sensor for the keyboard lights. plus a proximity sensor... darkens the phones screen when you put the phone to your face for a call to save battery. the lcd backlight is also sensor based so it will auto adjust for you too. Those are all features on newer htc models. they come in handy on my mytouch slide. of course, you can turn them off too exept the keyboard light. that one is automatic no matter what. you can hold your hand over the sensor though, lol, but that is never needed. the sensors are EXTREMELY accurate.
Wish it was getting the noise-canceling mic like the N1. Came in handy while driving.
I wont miss the noise-cancelling mic on the N1.
Whenever people have a hard time hearing me while on a call, I usually have to cover the extra mic with my finger. That improves the sound quality on the other end every time. It never worked right for me...

spare parts was only in custom ROMs if I'm not mistaken. the spare parts app provided the extra setting of allowing you to keep your home screen in portrait while auto-rotating otherwise. auto-rotate is a standard feature in android

Are we sure that the phone has no "Noise-Cancel" mic on it? In the video provided by Engadget it looked like it did?
I'm sure now. Holding the G2 and no signs of another mic hole anywhere.

I'm on donut HD rom, yesterday, one of those led's present between the hardware keys is not working. Only one works. Tried removing the battery, didn't work. If I look at it closely, I can see it dimly lighted
LED'S don't fuse, then why did it Happen to me?

let me explain!
the violet leds present between the hardware keys, or i mean the leds left and right to the home button,
yesterday when i was playing restaurant story(game) i saw one of these leds fading slowly and then now its not glowing, though i can see then with my eyes closely to the phone
Maybe you don't need them. or the lights just doesn't work and needs to be fixed buy a repairman

I know you half to turn on the option but tilting the screen up and down while on the web or anywhere else is not working is anybody else having issues with this?? does it go off the light?? I am unsure what is going on I have no seen anything work with my eyes either with all settings on but here the light has to be just right.... I went to Sprint and they are well nevermind lol I just am trying to figure out how to get the Smart Scroll tilting any suggestions would be nice thank you!
Instead of tilting the device, wait for the green eye and nod your head up or down

There is not setting at all, actually. Just wait for the green eye which indicates that the camera caught your eyes. After that you can just nod your head up and down and it works properly.
Tilting the phone seems much more intuitive (and comfortable) IMO. Here's a good demonstration of both.

I got a headache after trying for a while to look up/down to scroll, so I turned it off ahhah.
The Smart Scroll doesn't follows the movement of your eyes, just does you do with the head, and it makes it uncomfortable, so some people who had reviewed the phone [mine arrives on friday ] said that the best way is balancing gently the mobile up or down, up if you want to scroll down and down if you want to scroll up.
It would be awesome that it just detected the movement of the eyes but it's probably to soon for that "technology"
yea they made it look easy but its not as easy as it seems oh well still a great phone!! lol
Hello all, merry Christmas ?.
I have been gifted with a S-View cover. And now I am wondering if there is an app that shows you the notifications through the window opening. Something like noled or something. Because the notification led is not visible.
Thanks

Ive seen others mention that they had drilled or cut a hole in the case where the led sits. Depends how much you want to see the led and if youre happy enough to mod your case.

Hmm ok, thanks for the answer.. I am not planning in drilling a hole in my gift ?. I've found an app: missed message flasher, will try it out. Essentially it makes the screen light up when you have notification. I hope it is a good option.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm curious how you made out with this app ... I installed it but for some reason with the S View case closed the screen only cycles on twice and then quits. With the case open it'll cycle all day long
