What is the best wallpaper/brightness setting for outdoors screen visibility? This morning I was running late for my lift and I missed a call from my mate asking where I was. I got my phone out and couldn't see a thing on the screen so had no idea who was ringing me. Turns out a plain black wallpaper and lowest setting brightness does not like being outdoors.

What does everyone set their brightness setting on?Normally I just have it on auto so I presume it saves the battery. But I've just turned it on 100% and the it looks alot better than having it dark.Does having the phone on 100% all the time use up much battery?

View 4 Replies View RelatedLong time lurker, please no flaming.The Droid has an awesome screen, especially when set at full brightness. However, I typically have it set at the lowest brightness to conserve battery. On my old Windows phone I was able to have the brightness adjust to full when it was plugged in. I've looked for this setting on the Droid and thus far have been unsuccessful in locating this ability.Does anyone know if this setting exists or if there is an app that would do this?
View 11 Replies View RelatedDoes everyone keep their screen brightness on auto or do you set it manually. I notice when it's on auto, sometimes the screen doesn't light up all the way. Will setting it manually drain the battery quicker? I notice in my battery usage that it says display is at like 74%. Not sure if that's normal or not. I have the brightness set at about 1/4 of the way up.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been reading through the manual for the Desire and it states that you can have a different lock screen wallpaper to the wallpaper when the screen has been unlocked.
However, I can't seem to manage this at all.
Does anyonw know if this is possible or if it is an error in the HTC manual?
The reason being I would like to have a nice bright lock screen image but a normal black background for when apps and widgets are all over it.
Is there any way to keep the screen lock clock on the desktop when the phone is unlocked? I like the style and haven't found anything similar (yet).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone found a way to get the incredible to go lower than the default 11% lowest setting sometimes at night even at this lowest setting it is still too bright and I wish it could go a bit lower also is there anyway to get the 4 home/menu lights to turn off? I really wish there was a widget for this as those too can be distracting when trying to watch a video at night.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen on a phone call outdoors and I want to hang up, I pull the phone away from my face and the display stays black. The proximity sensor is not sensing that I've moved it away from my face. I can't hang up the call. If I hold the phone above my head with the display facing toward the ground the display comes right back.
It works perfectly indoors. I've compared this to another phone and the other worked perfectly. I've read that the UV rays from the sun can interfere with the proximity sensor. Verizon does not recognize this as a problem but if you Google it you will see this problem goes way back.
I'm having a problem setting a picture for my wallpaper on my Evo. It says it's set but when I go to the main screen I have the regular wallpaper, not the picture I set. I tried with a couple different pictures that are on my SD card and did it from Menu>wallpaper>gallery>photos>pick the photo>save. but it doesn't save??? any suggestions, ideas?

View 25 Replies View RelatedUnder gallery, I've tried setting wallpaper from images stored. I'm experiencing two problems:
1) When using the green border to select the part of the image I'd like, it never stretches to the full size of the image. It maxes out at about half the size of any image.
2) Once cropped after clicking set as wallpaper, the wallpaper shows way too zoomed in and I lose at least half the image I cropped.
I'm setting the wallpaper using any one of the available methods:
- getApplicationContext().setWallpaper(bitmap) - WallpaperManager.getInstance(context).setBitmap(bitmap)
The image I'm using is 320 * 400, but when it gets set only the center section of the image is displayed, like the image is way too big for the screen. My screen is hi-res, and this should fit into it easily.
Is there a way to set a live wallpaper, similar to WallpaperManager.setBitmap() to set a static image?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was trying to make an app which also had the facility to let user select wallpaper he would like to set. I have managed this by calling the Gallery Intent. Once the user selects a specific image, the data path of the image is returned to me which then i preview to the user by setting the image onto an imageview.
The problem crops up when the image size (and/or resolution) is greater than what android expects. This results in failure of my module.
And as if this was not enough, wen the user tries to select some other wallpaper(and in my test case the "other" wallpaper was also of size >700kb) then the app crashes with the "OutOfMemoryException"...
For Gallery Intent i use:
CODE:............
For setting the wallpaper i use:
CODE:.......
So i have 2 problems to deal with:
How to crop the image before setting it as wallpaper...Cant understand y OutOfMemoryException is thrown, coz none of my image sizes exceed even 1mb... and i guess the VM budget in case Of N1 is 24Mb if m not mistaken...
I just purchased a fascinate today and it's pretty solid, however I noticed that when I try to set a custom picture for the background, it won't let me select the whole picture and it zooms in ridiculously too much. Now, I've tried almost everything, but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me?Oh, if you have the fascinate, download handscent for messaging. I had a blackberry before the fascinate and it's similar to the crunch sms for blackberry. It's convenient because it allows you to customize the length of the vibrations and led lights, but the fascinate doesn't seem to have led light capability. It also allows you to customize the bubbles a well as the colors per contact and all that. Definitely something to look into.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to do it? I took a picture in portrait that fits the Droid X screen size perfectly and I want to use that as my wallpaper. I have scrollable wallpaper off and don't use the landscape mode for the home screen. I have that turned off as well. So really it makes no sense and its highly annoying.
I made a video to show what I was talking about because its kind of hard to explain...or some people just don't get it. Whatever if you don't understand let me know and I'll post the link up to youtube after its done uploading.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am able to set Home Wallpaper without the picture losing quality. However, I still can't set LockScreen Wallpaper without risking quality in the picture.
Why does this happen? Why the hell can't I enjoy the 100% good quality HD wallpapers that I download? Every time I set one it instantly loses quality.
I have an Eris and wonder why the heck the phone wants me to crop an image to a square shape when the screen is a portrait (rectangle shape). Anyone know a way around this?
