Notifications

Hello I have had my NS4G for a month and through all the fun and excitement of unlocking and rooting it I noticed that when I get any type of notification that my LED lights don't come on at all. I actually don't think they ever did. Am I trippin or is it supposed to be that way lol.

There is no notification LED on this phone... so to answer you, its perfectly normal

Ty now I can stop thinking I was crazy.

Try a kernel with bln support as a workaround

Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036991
With BLN app from market.

Noled is another alternative. If you're interested in trying that (no special kernel required) I can give you the settings I found that work well. It took some trial and error to get them the way I like them.

Ok so I flashed a custom kernel using kernel manager but now I can't use wifi tether

Noled isn't that great of an app. For some reason when there is a notification, the soft touch buttons at the bottom of the phone stay lighted.
Also, the screen isn't pure black when the notifications come on. It has this greyish hue to it. Totally not liking the app.

Do you know if the LED lights go back to full brightness after I turn on my screen?
Sent from my G2X using XDA Premium

No they don't. They stay at the setting in the app. Paul put it out its quality
Edit: this should be in the Q&A section
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

Ok I installed that program
I tried it before but didn't played too much with it
Do I know if I NEED the service running 24/7 on order to work?

If your using the app, yes the service MUST run. If its built into the kernel\ROM like CM7, then you dont even need the app

You shouldn't be running a task killer anyway. Android manages its services by itself killing system apps on a regular basis can make apps that need to be running in the back ground start again wasting battery. Plus your phone will act strange after awhile. You shouldn't use them.
Again this belongs in Q&A

Moved to proper forum.

Too bad I didn't read this thread earlier, I figured this out on my own today, doing the same thing, I changed my brightness to 1 (the lowest it would stay lit) , I do think this would definitely help out on battery life.

The Touch Key Lights app DOES NOT works properly with
1) Cyan 7 mod
I am using stock Android now, it works like a charm
One touch, and the program changes the value FOREVER (even after reboots, after I re-insert the battery...)

Screen Rotation

Can't figure out how to even find out how to figure out why my screen doesn't rotate seams a lot of sensors aren't working after it downloaded one of the test apps from the market. PS I pre thank any who help seems very hard to thank people for me for some reason. That also first work LOL..
Sent from my Inspire4G using xda premium

Try this. Menu, settings, display. Is there a check-box for auto-rotation?

I haven't had Sense in a while, but look for G-Sensor calibration in settings and do it. Reboot afterward.

Sometimes it just may need a restart to fix the auto-rotation. Reboot should fix it.

Sounds like you have a broken accelometer or its on its way going out. I had same problem g sensor won't calibrated at all now says abort everytime restarts do nothing.
I can't do anything that requires accelometer/g sensor and sounds like you have same problem.
Sorry man .
Reset your phone to default settings there's a great download in inspire development that will revert everything for you the call HTC and they will fix it for free as long as you restore everything to stock froyo or gb ruu. And you havnt tampered with anything etc etc .
HTC said 6-9 days for my phone to get fixed and back to me

Screen capture with gingerbread?

I'm running the de bloated ep4d that was recently released. I need to take a screen capture for work right now. I tried searching the forum but the xda app search is a bit limited and I need this within the next hour if possible. Is there a quick method to take screen captures on my rooted phone? Appreciate all your help, really. I'm out in the field and can't reach a desktop or laptop anytime soon.

On the new OTA build I can't manage to screen capture the notification shade anymore because the stupid animation makes the phone lag and it doesn't cap before the shade has gone away. This is a problem when using the stock capture method. (Sorry for hijacking your thread but this is a relevant issue depending on what you are trying to screen cap.)

The stock method has never worked for me on 80%+ of what I want to screencap. I bought ScreenshotIt and it works great, and there are a lot of different options for how to get a screenshot.

No kidding! It pisses me off because on FroYo I didn't have any problem screen capping any part of the system or apps.

Interesting find.

I'm not sure if anyone else knows about this, but if you hold your finger on the status bar until the notification tray starts to open and then stops opening, you can slide your finger back and forth on the status bar to adjust brightness without going into your settings. I just found this out and thought it was cool and worth sharing

Before people say it doesn't work, allow me to state the obvious. You have to turn off auto-contrast.

While the idea is nice, I find it a bit tedious. I'll go with a switch widget instead.
