Turning of backlight on buttons. - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hi everyone. Could someone point me to where I can disable the backlight on the capacitive buttons? Find it annoying they stay on while watching video in a dark setting. Thanks

I'd like to know, too. Very distracting when watching Netflix in a dark room.

That will most likely be something fixed in a ROM...there is not a way I know of to disable with stock ROM..be a while since bootloader is still locked as of today..checked htcdev.com today...bummer..

Don't get me wrong--I am thrilled with this phone. But I find it completely shocking that nobody at HTC ever tried to watch a video on it and said, "hey, these three bright lights are really freaking annoying!"

I actually have the opposite problem. Half the time my backlight does not work. It will work awhile after reboot but then will stop again. Not sure how to fix it.

I've used the app adjbrightness in the past. I haven't tested yet because it requires root and haven't rooted yet. hope this helps.

I would also like a solution for this.
Lots of little quirks with the software where you'd think HTC would have noticed it. This is a big one in my opinion.
How in the world could you forget to time out the lights when a video is being played. Or give a setting for it.
How could you leave out the stock keyboard and ONLY provide your crappy bloated Sense keyboard? atleast have it installed, so users can have the option.
In the browser, wheres the tab button? why have the user hop through menus and different windows when Tabs are the FUTURE! and stock on ICS.
HTC RUINED! the browser.
Excellent hardware, brought down by senseless sense designers.
Sense UI makes absolutely no sense.

Disable HTC Sense Cube Rotation?

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any way to disable the 3D Cube Rotation in HTC Sense. Whenever I unlock my phone, I have to wait a couple of seconds to see the desktops rotate... very beutiful, but useless...
Nope.

What ROM are you using? It might be a kernel issue
Revolution HD at the moment, but I wouldnt mind using other rom if it fixes it (I need sense though)... lets wait, I cant be the only one bothered by this feature...
Thanks for your replies
I think you're the only one GETTING the feature...if it was an issue a lot more people would have mentioned it. Although saying that, I had your issue when using the Smartass governor
Sorry EddyOS, I did not explain myself correctly.
I dislike the HTC Sense 3.0 feature that makes the desktops rotate in a 3D cube when unlocking the phone before finally displaying the home screen.
It is not a bug or problem, I just dont like it and would like to disable it if possible.
Ah, the animation itself? No, that can't be turned off. You'd need to use a different launcher
oh I see... Thank you!

PyroIce Tips, Tricks, and Help Guide. -Please Post Your Own Too :D-

I've made PyroIce my new Daily, and we all know it has some bugs. So I thought I'd start a thread to help Unclutter the fourm.
Here's the first thing I've found out.
- Wi-Fi Networks that are WEP/PSK locked can be connected to without having to Manualy put the name in.
Nova Launcher is a Great ICS Replacement Launcher. It can be downloaded from the Market. Or found on XDA as a flashable Zip. That makes it a system app, and allows widgets to be accessed from the launcher.
It has homescreen effects, drawer effects. Custom Grid Sizes, and all widgets are resizeable. Its the ADW of ICS, and is better than CM9's Launcher for 4.0.1.

I want to install this on my wife's phone, but she has no appreciation for the great work being done here. I would rather not put something on her phone that is going to cause me grief.
Also, is the user interface the same?

to be honest, its a great rom. for people that know how to deal with beta roms. if your lookin for a grief free rom, id use another one. i use this but i dont mind the small issues and can deal with them. the user interface is ICS, so the same as ICS yeah? same and gingerbread.. no, lil different. more user friendly i think.

Does anyone know if you can unlink the notification volume and ringer volume in ICS?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk
first off, i think this rom is simply great, considering that ics is on very few devices right now, and that our phone is a bit slow in general with development (nothing against all the devs on this phone, cuz what they have made are all really good)
two questions:
does anyone know why the camcorder app is limited to 720p recording? it's definitely not a big issue, but this camera is considered to be one of the best, seems like a shame to waste it.
also, any way to fix the htc dialer showing up in the call and to answer a call you have to unlock first?
how's everyone's battery life doing? mine's much better than when i had cm7 on it
I was looking at 1080p but for some strange reason libstagefright camerasource detects that 1080p is not available. Coudlnt binary hack that, and no idea why that happens.
You can use fullscreen caller id to let you receive calls without unlocking, or can use widgetlocker from market with security set off.

gotcha ill switch over to the non sense version now, thanks for the quick reply.
Posting here because I'm still a "New" user and cant post in dev form.
I'm running PyroIce Sense and I cant view any flash websites. Anyone else having this problem? I've tried re-installing Flash, Dolphin (wont work on stock browser as well), and reflashed the rom.
Any ideas?

Try opera mobile - proper flash support is one of their selling points. Unsure if it'll help, but worth a shot - mobile, not mini.

If i enter full screen browser hangs. if i zoom in, it will play, but it's very choppy with elements of my wallpaper mixed in, sometimes it's the notifications bar that draws itself into the flash. It's very odd.

[Q] 4.0+ Sucks on my G2

Ok I'm going to try to provide as much information as possible in order to help me troubleshoot this issue. My computer is running windows 7 home premium 64 bit. I've got a tmobile htc G2. I bought it used off of a friend and it was previously rooted and IIRC it had 2.3.7 gingerbread on it? not 100% sure. Since then I've updated the Clockwork to 5.0 from 3.0 and I updated the rom to an ICS 4.0.3. I tried virtuous at first and I believe now I'm using virtuous quattro RC3. I don't know If I'm still in an early version or what but I hate it. My apps (mocospace) crash constantly, even from switching from portrait to landscape, even the browser version of mocospace. I even tried downloading opera and dolphin and the same thing happens. Also with youtube, when I watch videos, they are not videos, they are more of a slideshow, I've downloaded adobe air and adobe flash but the videos are still in frames. I'm looking for one of two things, A Stable ICS that will work on my G2, or to go back to a previous version of android that will work fine like it used to. this version on this phone is driving me nuts, I constantly have to power off/on my phone to reset a Blank homescreen issue, or the icons will be blurred. thanks in Advance! - Andy

Good God, Seriously?
If it sucks so bad flash something else. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=758 and look for something that suits your fancy. *****ing in a general discussion section without using the search options will not get you any help. I stumbled upon this post on accident and thought "Eh, why the hell not". Qualcomm chipsets like those in the Vision and Glacier and most HTC phones don't have stable ICS yet due to driver issues. READ READ READ READ then READ some more then flash. Otherwise you'll be this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwleOote5M0&list=FLiSUReotYhEITuOWRb6Hb8w&index=11&feature=plpp_video
I was actually reading up on some different roms while I was at work tonight and figured I would try out both the Andromedus, and the CyanogenMods. I Do appreciate your help though, and [email protected] the video. When I bought this phone off of a friend it was already rooted and had 2.3.7 on it I believe, I just wanted to try out android 4.0. I'm guessing though like you say its still too early to find something awesome. I don't even mind this one so much except that it seems like itcant handle any graphical apps or procedures. once again thank you

Favorite HOX features.

This is a thread to list some cool things you like about the phone. Maybe point out a few things that other people didn't know yet.
For me I would have to say that the keyboard is awesome. Also the fact that it already has a printer option built in. Voice recognition on this phone is awesome. And of course face recognition is great too.

I've been a Swype user since the Nexus One, but I have to say that the Trace feature on the HTC keyboard is impressive. It's noticeably quicker to render words after swyping/tracing. Only downside I've noticed is you can't place the cursor on previous words and choose alternate suggestions. Unless I'm missing an option for this.
Ha. And I though it was an improved swype this whole time
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Interesting comment about the keyboard. I'll be receiving my HOX today but most reviews say the HTC keyboard is ****. Seeing the entire row of arrows on the bottom leads me to agree (but then again, I haven't used it yet). How does it compare to the stock ICS keyboard? I don't like Swype so I'm sure I won't ever use that feature.

About that. I tried using the face detect to lock my screen and at first i thought to myself, man does this work well.
Then for fun I had my dad look at the camera and guess what, the phone unlocked itself for him too. Now I know we look somewhat alike, but not that close.
Long story short, I wouldn't trust that feature..

My favorite feature is definitely the screen! I can't keep my eyes off of it. I do not like the HTC Sense keyboard and for those of you that also do not like it you can go to the Play Store and download the stock ICS keyboard and it works great on the One X. It is much more similar to the iPhone keyboard that I am used to and is spaced further apart than stock sense keyboard. Also, you get more screen room for viewing while texting or writing messages if you use the stock ICS keyboard.

From what I can tell, by swiping the recent application does not close the application. I have opened several apps and then hit the home button then the recent applications button and swiped them... then opened up the apps again and they are right back where I left them. I think it only deletes the recent app bookmark and not closes the app itself.

Addicted to hardkeys/S2W

Okay, this may be dumb but I am wondering if I am the only one thinking about this. Currently, I am rocking the latest ICS version of venom and beast mode kernel. At first I though sleep to wake was really cool. Recently, however, I have come to depend on it. It is so awesome to be able to wake my phone from the front (like an iDevice) and now I even am starting to hate that I can't sleep my iPad from the front the way I can with my HOX.
Typically I just enjoy my phone and at the same time look forward to future hardware improvements. Sadly, however, it looks like HTC and others are going with on screen keys in increasing numbers. Its sad to think that my next upgrade may result in a loss of functionality (and maybe even less usable screen real-estate.)
Am I the only one?
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
i agree, i'm really liking s2w and on-screen keys are NOT cool.
You are definitely not the only one. I completely depend on s2w. I used a JB sense ROM the other day and I don't know how many times I tried to use s2w. Went back to JellyBam and Rohans kernel with a quickness. And yes, on screen keys would suck. Never used one like that but I feel like I'd hate it.

Thanks for enlightening me! I still prefer the screen of my HOX to my buddy's N4 but it's nice to know that s2w is possible!
:good:
I felt the same way about screen real estate, but I realized its a matter of perspective. Look at your phone. Look at the hardware keys. Now imagine your screen extending to where they are. Your screen is bigger. Now imagine that when you need them, those buttons can pop up, and when you don't need them they can go away.
Its a glass half empty or glass half full issue. My buddy says "depends on whether you are drinking or filling the glass" I say true. You need to ask yourself if you want the overall phone to be bigger or not because that's really the only thing that is changing. A 3.7" screen with hw buttons could be 4" without. Or conversely a 4" screen would end up 3.7" if you put those buttons under it and kept the phone the same size overall.

Opposite for me, the only thing I liked about my gnex was the on screen keys and being able to remap them to what I want and change their color etc.
Especially with PA newer feature where they have per app color.
I'd look forward to a HTC device with on screen keys.

The lack of s2w is one of the reasons I haven't moved up to JB yet.
