Hi everyone, my first post here so don't be so rough
I was looking at my CDMA version of Raphael changing screen brightness every five seconds.
And I thought, 0 brightness is too dark and 1 is OK but is there I can have 0.5?
I think this is possible since I can see that brightness doesn't 'jump' when I change them in the power settings.
So, any guru out there can chime in and give me some insight?
Thanks.
Lumos v08. Works wonders. Make sure you disable the stock auto-backlight control.
+2 for Lumos - absolutely perfect for auto backlight!
Thanks for suggestions : )
I'm already using Lumos v08 works just fine, but I just wanted to know if there is progressive backlight out there.
Instead of backlight jumping from 1 to 2 in a smooth transition, I was looking for something more like 1.1 backlight to 1.9, 2.1 to 2.9.
I really wish to have a backlight that is just inbetween 1 and 2.
i wish lumos let you truly customize it
i want it at 1 for wen its night
but when im at work in best buy its never bright enough even though i have it set to go to 10
i want to be able to tell it at this light sensor go to this level
@lbhocky19
Did you try to configure the minium light value just a little bit lower (I have mine at 12 for example)?
As nice as it is (autocalibration) it may not fit everybodies needs so just go the the second tab and configure the upper and lower margin. Worked perfect for me.
hi guys this is a general post so im sure i have the right sub-f,
Im an assistant head chef, i arrived at work today to find some items stolen from my service fridges. presumably staff helping themselves after i leave.
i have a spare samsung galaxy s gt-i9003 i plan on hiding in the kitchen and broadcasting the camera through USTREAM app, obviously the cons of this are how long the battery will last
i would like to know if anyone knows of a way i can make the video record for say 2 hours only so hopefully the battery will last until morn and i can come and save the recording, i believe if the phone runs out of battery before saving the video it will be lost right?
ok guys update i found the the motion sensor pro app., but it seems to only take one pic every 20 seconds, any video ones? ps. i am searching its just im on a short break which is why i indicate the urgency.

Try checking if there are more motion sensor app on the market or over the internet. I had a program I bought off appbrain earlier last year that I was able to set the amount and time of screenshots to be taken.
But they are all battery intensive
only one i could find that works is that motion sensor pro but that has a 20 second lapse between photo's....... not very good for its use ill have to look into putting it somwhere close to a plug and leave charging still hunting thou
Well.. here goes another post, right?
Just needed to say my 2cents about this phone which i was waiting for impatiently.
To be clear, I've owned the Mate 9, Mate 10 & P20pro loved them all when they came out. But this is a different story. I'm also on .122, no gluegate issues, no face unlock issues, or other (guess i'm lucky).
- Bluetooth issues when connecting to my car (WTF!). Connection is done well for normal phone connections, but to play media, i had to put in airplane mode and reconnect 3-4 times.
- The display more like the font DPI and Notifications... what the hell Huawei? It's ugly. When you try to change the DPI those notifications are atrocious.
- Notification bugs on lockscreen : It's hard to sweep them out, to delete them or even to read them.
- Status bar : Huawei could of implemented, like on the Pixel 3XL , that if you want to hide the notch, have another line appear where you could see all the notifications. Not ideal... but an "option". Or choose the icons you want to appear, and not needing to go ADB style in your phone.
- Browsing the net on Chrome : Again a DPI issue, which doesn't fully, logically and normally set the page correctly.
- Camera : Sorry to say, but it's not a wow for my daily usage. I'll give it a couple more testing days, but in general i'm not impressed by the focus speed of moving objects (kids & dogs). Still images yes, for sure. But when you live a life as a family guy you need to be quick to snap that right moment when your kid or dog is doing something crazy. And it just doesn't make it happen.
- Camera lenses : I miss the BW lens honestly speaking. Changing it to a wide angle might please some people, but the BW pictures i used to take with the phone on the go are gone. Those pictures used to be great (+1 for P20Pro)
- Speakers : Dual ? *cough* *cough*. I feel the are muffled, not clear.
- Wifi Connection : Now that's a funny one... i have a 500/150 connection. On wifi my Note9 goes up to 487/127. My Mate 20p does 80/65. Once i go into recovery and clean the cache.. it hits 380/120. Then messes up again during the day.
- Dual SIm : Sometimes i have my second SIM card having issues. The "not registered on network" kind. I have to switch to airplane mode and back to make it work. If i don't see it right away people can't reach me..
- GPS : Works great, really.
- Battery : So yes.... it has has a great battery, not to forget that you need to go into the settings and put the apps you really don't want to get closed in manual. Otherwise, baby cams, waze, and other notifications don't come through.
I really expected another experience than this, I thought they learned and listened to their customers, but they didn't. I hope they will resolve the issues down the line. I feel sorry for the guys that have a Gluegate phone, i just think that is unacceptable for a phone with such a price tag.
I really hope Huawei are gonna do something about it, this is why i'm keeping it in the drawer waiting for a new firmware. It took the p20pro 3 4 firmwares to make it a great phone.
Back to my Note9 in a couple of days once i finished really testing this camera out.
Hey for the notch you can change this in under settings click, display, then more display settings then notch. Should fix it for you
Android auto works mostly but not for the phone option. That's my grumble right now

Thanks, but did that. I think there is an option on the 3XL that the notch goes down a bit, and then you can see the notifications like a normal status bar. But you lose screen size by doing that... i read that somewhere, but can't find it.
Sounds almost exactly like my post. Pixel 3 comes at the end of the week. Sadly only the 64gb version in black, but you can't have everything.

Yea, read yours which gave me the inspiration to type mine. Funny that you mention the 3xl...I've been looking and reading reviews on it for the last hour.
3 things scare me though
1. The battery life, 2. The lack of RAM and 3. non dual SIM. On the last point, I can't understand why having an eSIM and a physical SIM they didn't put two IMEI like the iPhones...crazy. but that camera is really tempting. Been testing the M20Pro Vs my Note 9 cameras this evening... I have to admit I still prefer the m20 pro's.

I get where you are coming from on this. Unfortunately I have the glue issue, but non of the others.
The internet speed thing, well my internet connection at home is 100mb and this is enough for me.
As for the camera, the Note 9 will blur photos of almost anything especially kids and pets, and even more in low light. The note 9 camera is actually pretty terrible and I have one as well.
If you want photos of kids and pets, only the Pixel 1 / 2 /3 will do that.
I do miss the Monochrone but not for monochrome photos, I don't rate those, but for image quality. Low light, especially night mode, is much worse on the mate, almost unusable actually.
I can come across online as nasty or confrontational but I do truly hope you find an experience you deserve from a phone, I know the struggle of trying to find the right phone, I have been buying almost every single flagship barring iphones for years and still not there.
The mate 20 pro with the versatility of the wide lens was almost it, but if my replacement comes and has issues, I will stick with my Note 9 and buy a pixel 1 for photos as the pixel 3 camera is not really improved on it. It takes shots of moving subjects perfectly and low light shots are taken very well as well.

I took my p20p out yesterday, and tested the 3. I have to admit that the p20p takes better pictures out of the bunch. Never tested a pixel before due to the lack of dual sim. Butbim really curious to test it out this time. Just worried about the battery, ram and well....missing the dual SIM.
The note 9 takes great pictures when in full sunlight but tested inside pictures last night. And I discovered it had a lot of flairs due the lighting. Mate 20 I feel has a lot of noise in general.
But most of my requirements are GPS , BT music (car), camera (kids and all) , battery and logical easy clean UI....and of course a good screen.
I neaaaaaaarly , really neaaaaaaarly hesitated to get the iPhone XSmax dual....but my soul and geek mind started playing rehab from Amy Winehouse in my head. I haven't touched (except my wife's) an iPhone for over 5 years.
Last night I was on the verge of keeping the Mate 20, but turned the phone on this morning to a list of weird and empty notifications which cemented my decision. If the Pixel 3 and 3 XL were made by Huawei and running pure Google software, you would never need to buy anything else.
I've had the watch for about a month and can't seem to get the watch to auto detect when I leave to walk the dogs for a few miles. I had the Amazfit GTS 4 prior and it would usually pick it up and many times too sensitive. I checked permissions and I did find one for the auto detect in the notifications and I turned that on and will test some more. Just wondering if anyone else has similar issues. I have the 5 Pro and my phone is the Fold 4. Thanks.
To get it working, you have to walk for 10 minutes without breaks ( 1 minute or more)

Thx, does it "credit" you for the 10min part? I think I'll just stick to manual start as my doggies make me stop at tree's and light poles....lol.

Yes, it does. I walk for a little more than 10 minutes from the outside parking to my stadium seat (for a football game) and it credits the first 10 minutes saying I've walked for a part of a mile already.
Thanks! I'll give it a go on auto when I walk the dogs tonight! Seemed dumb if it didn't credit you the 10min. I had the Amazfit GTS 4 and the GPS and battery life were outstanding. But the auto start would rarely work or credit me. So I turned up the sensitivity and it was great for a laugh. I would walk to my truck from my work building and once I sat and put seat belt on it would start the workout. After about 15sec it would stop and read out loud how I went 0.00 miles in 15sec. So I sold it on Ebay and came back to the dark side. Thanks for the replies!
Hello friends
i have S21 ultra exynos version, when i turn on Spen option in setting the top off screen is start to flickring (Small white horizontal lines difficult to see easily with the eye but it is visible when i focusing vision) its like vibrations when we bring a metal object closer to an old TV screen.
when i turn off the spen setting the screen its become normal
so any one can confirm that for me its normal that i see this or not? tnx in advance
I think it needs degaussed
Not normal for Notes. May be a firmware glitch, try at different refresh rates.
Try a hard reboot and clear the system cache.

2 : i try to back to 60 hz and the surprise is all is normal all thing is good
3 : i back to 120 hz and i try turn on and off (spen) in setting the screen is norml
4 : i try back to 60 hz and try to turn on and off (spen) the problem is back again but when i put the s pen in the screen the white line is disappear when I pick up the spen the problem is back again(just for 60 hz)

CRT's were fun. Got shocked more than once.
One time when I was replacing a huge one even though I had discharged it several times to no spark. Capacity memory is scary. Fortunately I didn't drop it, that could've ended up badly.
Sounds like firmware. The variable refresh rate displays are extremely hard to calibrate. It's bad enough trying to color/gamma calibrate at fixed rate display through its brightness range. It's near impossible on variable refresh rate displays.
I would just ignore it unless it gets worse*. If under warranty maybe then otherwise the cure maybe worse than the disease. There maybe other work arounds or use the one you found or the easiest... just ignore it. If it's not a major issues don't go too nuts.
*It's possible the rom got corrupted (single event upset) or one of millions of the transistor or mosfet junctions failed in the mobo or display matrix. Every wonder what happens when one or two fail?

If you take a screen shot of it:
If it shows on the shot it's the firmware or mobo
If it doesn't show it's the display
Can you return it do a charge back on the card used to buy it?

It may be the display. The active matrix is packed to the gills with mosfet junctions.
Try some Google searches; it will likely show up on Samsung members forum if it's an issue.
Take an image of it and do a Google image search if possible.
