HTC Incredible :: Brightness Settings - Power Control Widget
May 4, 2010
The "automatic" brightness setting sucks. It doesn't detect high light situations, like being outdoors. To get the proper brightness you need to use the power control widget to set the brightness up to see it in sunlight. Not a big deal, but after using the widget you either have to manually reset it to automatic in the settings, turn the brightness off or on high. Its just kind of annoying. When your in sunlight without the brightness up to the highest level I can see nothing on the phone. Literally the screen appears to be off. Is this just my phone, or does the incredible really not sense high light situations.

I've been trying to compile the original code for the power control widget from the "settings" app, but it won't because of the missing / hidden / internal classes,I remember with a modified Settings apk with more or modified buttons in the widget.

Searched all over the forums and internet for an answer but came up blank.I downloaded an app called power control and installed it. It screwed up my contact list so I wanted to uninstall it. Not just remove it from my desktop, but full uninstall is what I'm after.Did a search for it in the android market and could not find it anywhere again to uninstall it that way. Tried using Astro File Manager to uninstall but does not show up there.The only place it shows up on my phone is in the bottom menu bar ( menu, phone, + ) I hit + -----> widgets ------> power control. Anybody have an ideas on how to uninstall this thing ?

How can you edit the power control widget so it has a toggle for 3g? I can't find any options for it.

Is it possible to pull the power control widget from cm6 to use in other roms? I dug around in cm6 for a bit thinking it was as simple as pulling the apk and installing in a new rom but I think I was mistaken because I can't seem to find it. Can it be done and if so, can somebody point me in the right direction (or just do it if it's easy enough )?

Does anyone know of a power control widget that has a reliable 3G toggle? I know that there is the singular one that come with Sense but I am trying Launcher Pro and really need that functionality. You would think that if HTC can make one another developer could do it too.....

Just curious what brightness setting everyone is using? I'm talking normal, run-of-the-mill settings not what you crank it to when you're outside, and not what you turn it down to for playing games in the dark. I want your normal setting. Anyone have an idea of how much power usage is impacted? (Like, does 100% Brightness use 50% more power than 10%, or does it use 400% more power?)

I'm looking for a widget similar to power control but that is free. My brother has one that came with his droid x and I'm envious. It allows you to turn gps 3g and wifi on and off from the widget on your home screen.

Just got my EVO a couple days ago so I am still learning. Where do I download widgets?? Also it has a widget to turn on and off 4g, wifi, gps. Is there any way that I can add a toggle for turning on off mobile network and cdma vs. gsm? I have a horrible signal at my office so the phone constantly searches for a signal and kills my battery. I don't want to turn on airplane mode because I do still get calls and need my phone to at least kind of work.

Is there any way to control the brightness of the 4 bottom buttons, the home, back, menu and search buttons? I use my phone to watch movies in bed when I can't sleep, and in a dark room those 4 things are really bright, and never turn off, it gets distracting.

is there a way or app to set the level of flash when taking a picture? i know it can be done because the flashlight app has levels of brightness. dont get me wrong, i love the dual LED's, but most of the time i either get a washed out image or an image thats to dark. so, is there a way that i can choose like a percentage or something of flash i want to use?

Can anyone recommend a power control type widget which includes the mobile data on/off switch? better still, is it possible to edit the power control widget to add data in place of, say, sync?

For some reason the power control widget won't activate my wireless. It will turn green, but won't connect. I have to go through Settings/Wireless & networks/ then tap Wifi Settings, and it will automatically connect. I don't have to choose a network, I just tap on Wifi Settings and then it connects.

I tried searching for a thread on this, but if there's a duplicate thread, I apologize. I have an EVO, and I love it, but I saw on someone's Droid (I think) that they had a power control widget in their notification tray, rather than as a widget on one of the home screens.

Is there some app which combines the Power Control widget and the Settings widgets? I don't want to clutter up a screen with on/off buttons when one icon would open up a program that allows me to do them all.
I have come across Toggle Settings and wondered if there was anything better. What does everyone else use?

I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 (Japanese version) and in my notification bar, I can see the Power Control Widget. But in my phone there are 9 options (wifi, power saving, data, notification, etc.).
I could see the source code for the "basic" power control widget here (this one has only 5 options).
I'm wondering if the source code for the version I have is available somewhere.

I 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.

Can anyone direct me to where the brightness widget is? The one where you can toggle the screen brightness. I can't find it under widgets. Either its not there (as in, it wasnt a default widget) or I am completely blind. I remember seeing this widget in alot of Android OS vids and would like to easily switch brightnesses depending on the environment

So I was reading that a couple features 2.2 was supposed to add was making Auto-Brightness one of the settings on the Power widget. I'm not seeing this on my phone after the update. Is that the same for everybody or do I have to do something to make it work? (I've tried removing and re-adding the widget).Another benefit I saw was that you were supposed to be able to press & drag up on the keyboard to get the special character instead of having to press & hold. Also not seeing this. Is this because we don't have the stock keyboard in Sense or another issue?
