Does anyone elses keys (keyboard, home button, menu, etc) not light up sometimes? For me the problem would fix itself after opening and closing the hard keyboard a couple of times. But after I downloaded SweeterHome preview 2 they won't light up at all. Is there a timeout option im missing or something? Or is this a common problem with no fix?

A backlight used to turn on for the bottom hard press keys on my dx but ever since I downloaded and installed the live wallpaper panoplied, they don't turn on anymore. I don't know how or even why a live wallpaper would turn off backlight settings for the keys but its becoming a major inconvenience. I checked the settings but couldn't find where to tweak backlight settings. I also rebooted the phone and did a soft reset but that didn't work. Can anyone out there help a brother out?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been using sweeter home for a few weeks and I downloaded a theme that forced closed Sweeter Home. Since sweeter home was my default deasktop. I could not get back to the main desktop.
I tried starting in safe mode, by holding down the gold key and pressing the power button. Then I released the power button and kept holding down the gold key until I heard a buzz. The phone then rebooted after a few seconds.
I am at a loss what to do now? I am considering a hard reset.
I think I found a bug in 2.0.1. If you power on your Droid in the dark, the keypad backlight does not work. You have to go to Setting -> Display and manually unclick the "Auto" and reclick it back.Anyway to get it to work is to power the droid is a lighted room and everything will work fine. I think somehow the light sensor got screw up when it is dark to start with.

View 9 Replies View RelatedJust a neat trick, but not sure how useful it really is.If you want to lock the screen without turning the phone backlight off, you can do so by placing a finger on any of the four "touch-sensitive" buttons and pressing the power key.The screen will stay on, but the device will lock.It's up to you to find a practical purpose for doing so.I just though I'd share the feature (bug?) with you all.

View 4 Replies View RelatedOur application displays a camera preview and it seems to work fine on all phones except for the Motorola Droid where we get a runtime exception when we set the camera parameters:

Here is the code for surfaceChanged() which is mostly taken from APIDemos

Does anyone know what is wrong with how we are setting the parameters that would be causing the exception on the Motorola Droid?
I cannot find it on the market. Also is there a tutorial? Like a basic rundown for us non interweb olk?
View 10 Replies View RelatedThe learning curve is a little steep, but once you learn it ... it is THEE home-replacement app. Checkout the other Sweeter Home threads with pics to see what we're doing with this newly-released home-replacement app But I digress. As I have experimented with MANY apps, and home-replacement apps ... I am constantly watching how much available memory I have remaining. I open Task Killer many times throughout the day to check this. For the record, I have approx. 140 apps installed at this time. This hasn't changed all that much over the passed few weeks. I usually have between 38-52M available memory. I really haven't seen it above the 52M mark in a long time. But late last night, I finally finished enough of Sweeter Home to switch over to it full time. When I opened Task Killer, I couldn't believe what I saw! I had 68M available memory! I've been watching it all morning, and it seems to vary between the mid 50s, to the low 70s. So it appears that Sweeter Home Preview 2 is somehow using approx. 20M less memory than Launcher, Home, or Home++ Beta.

I would suggest, however, to make the stock "Home" app your default desktop app the first time you boot up the new 2.1 update. Then you can test your theme in SH to make sure that it's all good. 2.1 has the Live Wallpapers (which seems very smooth, btw), but SH does NOT support them yet.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI am seeing a very annoying behavior on Motorola Droid when trying to do a simple camera preview at QCIF resolution. And I was wondering if someone experienced something similar. Is there a workaround? Am I doing something wrong?
Let me explain the situation.
Firstly, right after boot-up, using native camera application there is nothing out of ordinary, I see preview each time and it is all perfectly well for as long as needed as many times as I want.
The "interesting" behavior starts when I use the slightly modified API Demos (full app available in Android SDK, modified file is attached). My goal is to preview (and later capture) video at QCIF (176 x 144) resolution.
Using CameraPreview module in API Demos application I can start preview and capture normally only the first time - picture is clear, focused, normal colors, etc. Preview and all is nice. The second time I do preview I see a very over-exposed picture, I need to turn it away from any light source to see anything, otherwise it is all white. And even in the shadow, everything is grainy, as if picture is taken with too sensitive settings (high ISO) with too long exposure. The third time, it is the opposite - the preview and capture is way too dark. I need to point the camera directly into the light source to see even a faintest picture. Pointing out of the window does not help, it has to be straight into the lamp or sun. The effect is like taking pictures with much too low ISO setting - it is way too underexposed.
The overexposed and underexposed sessions interchange, but it is not clear-cut which one appears first. So far the prevailing pattern is that overexposed one starts first. Now surprise comes when I try using native camera application. The pattern continues! It is as if hardware or or software (camera process) got "tainted" with the QCIF. This continues until I reboot the device.
Another interesting point is that if I allow device to "rest", symptoms are much less pronounced after 10 minutes, then in 15 minutes they become barely visible. However, it all comes back after the first time I capture in QCIF. Nothing like this is visible when resolution is higher, say, CIF, VGA or similar. The problem is that, for my purposes I need it to be QCIF.
My girlfriend's D2 is having trouble with the soft keys flickering or not lighting up. Then if you turn the phone off you can press the screen and they flicker.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it just me or are the keys a little too much on the skinny side? I am coming from an iPhone 3G and I found it much easier to type on that. I predominately type in portrait mode and I find myself having trouble with this keyboard, especially when it comes to the spacebar. This is a huge surprise actually. I was expecting it to be significantly easier because of the screen size, but it just isn't.
Maybe I just need to get more used to it. However, if this problem continues I think I'll have to return the phone because messaging and email are two of the biggest things for me. Can I download any other keyboard that have fatter keys? I tried Swiftkey which didn't really help. Does anyone have better keyboard on their Droid X?

Swype on the Droid X with 2.1 originally had a black keyboard with bigger keys to swype or type on. With Froyo, it's now showing as a white keyboard with smaller keys that looks look the Swype keyboard I had originally had on my Droid 1. Is this the "new" keyboard look for Swype on the Droid X or is there a way to bring back the old look before upgrading to Froyo on the Droid X? The version that is showing on the DX now is 1.64.40.9380.
