[Q] Light bleed from LEDs? - HTC Amaze 4G

So yes, I have very bad light bleed on my HTC Amaze. The mod intended to fix them, didn't. I tried the screen filter app and that didn't help. I just want this to go away. What can I do?

Turn off the LEDs. You can do this with AdjBrightness app.

I dont want them OFF, I just want it to be lowered. I use my phone at night...

OK... Ill turn off the LEDs. Any other options? Cuz the adjbrightness is only temporary.

The LEDs brightness aren't adjustable. So the only options is to turn them off. I believe everyone that owns a rooted amaze turns them off..lol
I use a script to turn off my LEDs. But since I'm on Energy it has the option to turn them off in Tweaks.

I just deal with the bleed. Is not like it makes it unusable. If I watch a video at night, I just turn them off.

Between adjbrightness and screen filter adjbrightness is looking like the better of the 2 just remember to go into options so it stays off.

Q: Thunderbolt Screen Colors

I'm a new Thunderbolt owner coming from the Evo, and it seems as though the colors on the TB are less vibrant than my Evo. The whites seem as though they are muted a bit or have a purple-ish gray tone to them. Anyone else notice this?
Thx

Your screen is either messed up, or you aren't seeing things clearly. If your TB looks worse than your EVO I would take it back and request a new one.
Right on, thanks...
Is it possible that it's not one of the Samsung screens, I have heard the new ones HTC has are not as bright?
I will take it to the store tomorrow if anything, for piece of mind..

Maybe you're just looking for things that are wrong with it? I don't know. I came from a droid so it's a big improvement for me.
The thunderbolts screen uses warm color settings.

Thanks! That helps... I'm not looking for anything wrong with it at all, I just want to be sure that I don't have a defective one, because while in the store the rep had a hell of a time getting the sim card to take and give me 3G.
Also, I wanted to make sure it was good before I root it...

Samsung are S-AMOLED, which is LED and is brighter and more vibrant than LCD.
You sure it's not just the auto brightness dimming the screen?

Or if you have one of those anti fingerprint screen protectors it will greatly diminish screen quality and brightness

Dimly lit search key with Screen Filter

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. When using Screen Filter to turn off the bottom softkey row backlight, the search key is still slightly illuminated. I can only guess this is light bleed from the LCD? Just wondering if anyone else had it.
Thanks.

Thanks, now I don't feel alone haha. I confirmed it's the LCD by changing the brightness of the backlight in settings, and the key gets bright/dim with it. Not sure if all Evo3Ds are like this.

[Port] To the Amaze

Can anyone please port the TORCH application that is in the market (also comes with CM roms), and make it fully functional?
I have downloaded it from the market (Nexus Torch), and it seems fine, but on "High Brightness" it flickers on and off way too much.
This is one of my fav apps.
Please and thanks

supposedly this is bad for your LEDs whenever you turn it up on the highest for a long period of time or make it flicker like a strobe light. people have reported after keeping the app on for around a minute the LED burned out lol. Forgot which phone it was but it shouldn't matter, also if you notice your phone gets pretty hot when it's on, I only use the flashlight app for emergency and I'm sure that's what its intended for.

The warning info that say that if you leave it too long is for noobs who think they can leave it for a whole day on with nothing happening to the phone.

Thank you for your suggestion, I guess I've been using the music player instead of flashlight all this time, that's why I don't see any light.
Why not downloading it from market and use as you so wished? Is there a non-compatible issue?

I just need the high brightness setting, It would be nice to have it, I voided the warranty lets get the most out of it!!!
It would be nice, family, friends, and strangers are always asking me to look at their teeth (I should stop mentioning to people that I'm a dentist, I'm afraid if I say I'm a janitor they'll ask me to come clean their floors though!!!!!!), of course this really does nothing major (They really need a full exam in a office setting) but gives me a better idea of what can actually be done and a high brightness would be nice...

The brightness of the Flash LEDs on the Rezound has nothing to do with the app you use

or it can also be the fact that on my incredible i had cm7 and had torch which pushed the leds to their limit and made them really hot but i just loved that flashlight helped out when i needed to look for something in the dark
again, as a.mcdear pointed out - this is a 100% hardware capability thing. while some software might not set the same brightness levels in settings, the limits are the limits of the hardware.

yes i know but i took out the leds out of my broken rezound i have a second one that i bought retail for not getting insurance never again and connected to a 3.5 volt connector and was significantly brighter so i know it can be forced to be brighter!

Sure, and you can hook them up to a car battery and they will explode, but that does not mean that another app can miraculously cause the hardware to deliver more power to the Flash LEDs. The fact is that the torch setting on any app is probably already using the maximum brightness that the hardware is capable of.
Snowman is not making things up. The nexus torch on the Incredible would overpower both LEDs at once for a crazy bright light. When I would run non-CM7 ROMs on my Incredible, I always looked for an alternative app that did the same thing, but never could. Most could only run one of the two LEDs. If they could light both at once, they were not overpowered.

The galaxy torch works for me. Its free on the market.
It's a kernel tweak I believe, find someone who knows how to change it then there you go

Try something for me then say again that the hardware limits the brightness.
Enter a dark room and turn on any of the available flashlight apps. Then, turn it off and take a picture with flash on. No comparison.

Yes I know all of the apps are the same but that torch one on cm7 is just the best and brightest I think they force the LEDs on the phone to go brighter because they do get hot

Yeah the torch app on the incredible was so bright that every time you turn it on it had a warning popup saying not to leave it on long because it would melt **** lol
No offense, but if having a bright flashlight is really this important to you, why not just get an actual flashlight?
Otherwise, if you're in a pinch and just need a quick light, the rezound is definitely bright enough for illuminating a dark area (like putting your keys in the car door in an unlit parking lot)
I still have my incredible (gf uses it actually) so I know how bright that app is.
What I was saying is that the rezound is clearly capable of the same bright flashlight as the incredible. The incredible one turns on the leds as if to flash while taking a picture but keeps the lights on. I see no reason why the rezound could not do the same. Now do I know how to get that working at the moment - no. But I'm interested enough to do some research and I'll post what I find.

Edit:
FIrst off, I will say that I have ALWAYS had the box unticked which said "Data Connection: put to sleep when screen is off"
I have now for the past few hours experimented with ticking it. Wifi does not appear to be going to sleep with this option ticked
I am a native English speaker, and I must say that the way this is not written clearly. What it must mean is it puts the phone modem to sleep with the screen off but not the wifi. So therefore, when the box is unticked the phone modem must have priority (a guess)
HTC have really made this option unclear. I will continue to tick the box and report back if there are any more issues but this counter-intuitive box appears to be working.
Never mind, I still have the problem.
Wifi still turns off with screen constantly whether the box is ticked or not.
Anyone else?
