Question to the professional community:
We have two Qtek 9090 at work. They both are running on Windows Mobile 2003. Somehow, one has a much brighter screen than the other with the same settings for brightness. One is in English and the other in German and from a Swiss provider (Orange SPV2000). The ROM version is slightly different and one has a kind of slide for example in the backlight settings for the external, internal and brightness menu. The other simply has three tabs to click on. The Qtek 9090 in English has the lower horizontal menu in a rather gray, whereas the German has it in a lighter gray color with a little violett touch. Also, the blue background standard wallpaper appears much brighter on the German Version. Especially, in bright daylight the German is much better readable. I would like to find out, how I can change color settings or the Gamma of the Display on the English. It almost seems that the German Version uses some kind of Gamma Programm to increases brightness. Or is there generally a difference with different ROMs?
Thanks for your input!

Hi
I've just installed WM5. When I open the slide-out keyboard, i see a little "distorsion" blinking up on the screen (sort of dark "spots" or whatever). Also, in some angles i can see some littly pinky dots (in perfect rows and cols) on the screen. Is it me or i've just haven't noticed these things yet?.... (Maybe because i used my device with the lowest backlight but now under WM5 it is set to max?..)

I find the screen is too bright in dark areas even when set to the lowest setting. Is there anyway to lower it even more? I dont like how its 50% brightness or 0% brightness.
are there any 3rd party programs that have more control over the backlight?
http://www.omegaone.com/pocketpc/default.htm is one of the best software companies in my opinion. Here is some software which allows you to fine tune screen brightness http://www.omegaone.com/batterypack/pro/default.htm download a trial and install it and you then have to go into Start - Settings - Today - Items (tab at bottom) - Then tap Battery bar - Then select Customize - Select Brightness from one of the drop-down menus so you can have it adjusted on the home screen. I have the previous version and I find it great. If you have any problems let me know.
nice program, but I cant seem to get it to control the brightness. The switch keeps snapping back to the left most side. Maybe its not compatible with Blue Angels?
What operating system are you using?
WM2003se
I added rom and radio info to my sig
I just did a hard reset to make sure there wasnt any programs conflicting but that didnt fix it
It is just that I have upgraded my Blueangel to Tu-Ma 1.3 (WM5) and it allows you to change the brightness in 10% increments. So a thought is that you might want to upgrade yours. Here is the link explaining how to do it http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_WizardPort_v1.3-TuMa
Will keep a look out for screen brightness changing programs but at the moment a upgrade is all i can suggest.
WM5 natively allows you to do that? Or do you need battery pack pro?
Ive seriously considered upgrading but am worried about incompatibilities with alot of the programs Im using. Especially morphgear and Fpsce.
Yes it natively allows you to do that. About compatibility I have run programs designed for Windows Mobile 2002 with no problems but I know that some software just isn't compatible. So it depends on how much you use those programs that aren't compatible with WM5 whether it is worth upgrading.
I know there is a BRIGHTNESS setting for the TP2's screen, but is there a CONTRAST setting anywhere? Any screen that has a black or dark color to it is not as sharp (on my phone, anyway) as my TP1 (Fuze). A sharper black will make all colors appear more brilliant and sharper. Is there a way to adjust the CONTRAST -- whether by a control setting or a registry tweak? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks to all in advance!
The screen has neither a brightness nor a contrast control in the normally-accepted sense of those terms. What it has is the ability to vary the intensity of the backlight, which is quite different. Even if it did have a contrast control, that would affect whites, not blacks. If black is not dark enough then your only option is to make the backlight dimmer. That, of course, will have no effect on sharpness.
Hey there,
some years after I sold my G1 I'm up with another Android phone, Desire HD.
Great phone, bad battery as usual...
But I really wonder why they put such yellowish LEDs to the phone. It's ok that the phone is equipped with LEDs but every picture I take with LEDs turned on looks yellowish. The pictures don't look like it would be "real" light, it looks worse than white light.
When you switch on the lights you can already see that it's yellowish.
Perhaps someone has an explanation...
Change the white balance settings, that sometimes helps.
Or you can correct it in an image editor like PicSay Pro (phone app) or Photoshop.
I also notice that (in the preview/viewfinder screen) it makes it look yellow.
But when taken the picture the preview on my stock-rom but updated phone is a normal color and not yellowish at all.
Check out hamdir's photography guide/tips. Scroll down to the flash section. A solution there works. Thread location:
Desire HD general-
Thank you! I set white balance to fluorescent (Neonlicht in German) and now the pictures made with LED flash look better.
Hi forums,
TL;DR: Could turning up the color-settings in TricksterMOD cause burn-ins?
I recently got my GNex and after fixing the SIM-tray making the phone usable again I of course unlocked the bootloader and flashed ROMs and Kernels (atm CM10.2 latest nightly + Franco kernel) and I use TricksterMOD to make some specific settings (like turning FSync off) and I also found Settings for screen colors, now what I did is just turn those sliders up all the way and set all other options (like Contrast and Gamma) to 0 (as seen on the attatchment), now I have an extremely vibrant and colorful display without this annoying blue-tone everywhere, even whites look more natural now but I've seen some AMOLED-Phones (specifically 2 GS2s from friends) that have things like the Status Bar or the keyboard burned in into the Display and now I worry that that could maybe happen to my Phone as well because of the settings.
I'd like to know your experience and if you think that that's possible, if so I'll turn them down even though I really really love this display now, it's literally the best display I've ever owned (and I have two IPS Monitors in front of me right now)
I'm using a completely black theme over most of the Phone (black status bar of course, black keyboard, black menu-elements, dark backgrounds, saves Battery and looks insanely awesome on this display) that should prevent burn in's from for example the keyboard since black pixels are not lit, but I want to know if it's more likely if the display is brighter due to the settings.
Sry for this long post but you've got the short version at the top if you don't want to read everything
Thanks for your time and help in advance!
Greetings from Germany.
