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.
Can someone tell me if there is any control over the responsiveness of the screen on the Artemis. For example is the actual speed of the reaction to selection criteria dependant upon CPU speed (or the actual electronics within the layers of the screen) or are there tweaks within the registry etc that makes the screen more responsive to touch? I just find the responsiveness of the screen rather sluggish and this is with over-clocking it to 273MHZ. I am currently using Meschle’s premium rom but don’t think this is the problem.
Thanks JD76
I'm assuming that the zoom bar is just an extension of the resistive touch screen beyond the visible screen, so what are the chances someone will make a program/hack that will let you use it for other functions, like a dpad and a mouse?
TD2 users already have it sort of working as a scroll wheel.
I've been watching the M900 on Pocketnow, and while I'm not swayed, the potential of the navigation functions of the biosensor do wow me. It'd be a welcome addition I think. I'm new to xda-dev, but whenever I've come across the name/link, it's always with effusive praise and admiration. I figure if anyone will, it will be someone here.
Bump for this one!!
As soon as I saw the zoom bar on the TD2 and TP2 and the limited functionality of usage only in messaging, web browsers and pictures, it just screamed hack hack hack
I was also thinking gestures like the Palm Pre...
ooooh... I'm intrigued! I'd like to see what some developers can put together for this. That would be a sweet feature to hack.

Agreed. The zoom bar seemed like a good idea when I first read about it, given the multitouch zooming was a no go with the resistive screen. But then in the reviews, it just seemed so under-utilized.
I'd love to have a configuration utility that let you use it in different ways in different applications, kind of like some screen rotating apps let you set up rotation differently for different apps.
Or like the Jog Dial on the hermes. (only wished the TP2 had that, and it would have been perfect. One handed control of the device...). But it will have to be pretty precise, and it isn't yet.
If it can register touch pressure (tapping) I would like 2 see 4 sectors (up down left right)

D2 Zoombar as buttons request asks for 3 buttons. Hopefully someone will do more.
Would LOVE to see 3 or 4 buttons on the zoom bar!!
(And maybe sliding button 1 to the right or button 4 to the left still means scrolling)

The main screen can tell the difference between a press and a flick, so I imagine the zoom bar could have assigned buttons and still scroll.
Hi All
For my TP2, i'd really like to have Zoom Bar that zooms ....everything!!
I would like to just zoom the screen (any screen) to a larger size. I did kinda think (or at least hope) that it was what it was going to do anyway, not just zooming pictures, browser etc.
I would like the simple (??) funtion of being able to zoom any app, any screen, anything - to be able to read stuff maybe a little more easier.
I do use glasses for reading only and it is a real drag to have to get them out to read a text clearly, or see whose calling or just to get a better look in daylight etc.
A zoom 'anything' or 'any screen' would be really awesome and a supremely useful utilisation of something that is already there. Then you couild just drag the screen around to get to what you want to see better (yes, just like a picture, so basically i guess, the current screen becomes like a picture).
The other ideas of buttons, d pads and so on all sound great too, but this would probably benefit so many people get better use out of their devices.
I wonder if it can be done...????
Cheers and happy TP2ing.

Probably better than just magnifying the screen, for readability in text heavy apps at least, would be setting font sizes to the zoom bar--zoom up, Font Sizes get larger, zoom down, they get smaller. I think that might actually be enabled in some text apps already, but I'm not sure. The touchpad on my Acer Aspire One does this in some word processors.
For things like Caller ID, a screen magnifier would be needed. I'm guessing you'd need a resident program to be able to do this anywhere and everywhere.
Thx fortunz
All true, but wouldn't the simple 'magnify the whole screen' thing be a really (really) good thing to have - and logical too. Just an extension of the way it works for images. Just seems like something that it should do.
I did notice on the HTC Manila 2.5 demo video from Germany, in the Settings area, under 'Other', there was a setting for 'HTC Magnify'.
Uncertain of any further details, but it could be just what i am talking about, maybe!
Cheers to all

I don't disagree at all.
zoom as scroll and on manila start screen not only inside
I just wish the zoom ball zommed in on pictures (going towards center of picture) rather than how it works in opera (the upper left corner)
Bump...
Anybody anything?
i would be interested to know if this is possible too.
I would luv the zoom bar to wash my car and mow the lawns for me... any chance?
....LOL....
Yeah, the zoom bar is really under-utilized. I often forget it's there and go to screen -> larger text to increase my fonts... Guess it's because it only works in a few apps. Without realizing, I've gone to settings -> screens before I realize I have a zoom bar...
Would love to see some gurus here hack this to a mini d-pad, or at least and up/down arrow. Currently, I have the vol up/down to do this using AEB.
i agree with all of these .. we need a genius programmer to make some kind of super aeb where you could have different button profiles and set a shortcut to profiles on the homescreen .. my perfect setup would be to have zoom be able to switch open applications and somehow map the back conference mute thing to play/pause in music player .. or have zoom button be able to switch songs for you (like with screen off/lock on) and hold for running applications list ... then have it all skinned pretty like some translucent palm pre thing .... lol .. just dreaming..

they can also utilize in racing games like as steering wheel instead of touching the screen
What is a good value (REG_DWORD) for reducing the amount of Finger Pressure required to use the touch screen.
I have set the FingerPressure Value to 217840 in the registry (REG_DWORD) and I do not feel much of difference from the default value of 10892.
Is there any other registry to edit to adjust the Finger pressure?
Basically I want to use less finger pressure to use my Touch HD, make it feel a bit like my wife's iPhone!!

Install this. It cranks the values to the highest they can go.

As far as I can remember, you can also adjust the sensitivity using HD Tweak

Hi guys,
i did a search but have found nothing regarding this kind of problem.
My display shows some kind of pattern on plain colors.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16054199/screen.jpg
Its worst on grey and white, (certainly) not seen on a black screen, and its almost not visible on the highest screen brightness. But, its very distracting on everything below and also visible in pictures etc. if looked closely.
I come from a S2 which had not this effect. Is it a faulty screen or a normal effect of the pen tile matrix?
I see the same thing when my screen dims down before it goes to sleep.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Just before it goes into sleep mode? (which afaik is even darker than the darkest setting while it`s awake).
I clearly see it under medium backlight setting, the grey elements of the market are a place where i always see it.
hate to break it to you, but that's just how the screen is(especially when the brightness is turned down & on plain colors). i've had 2 Nexus' and both did the same, even the ones on display in my local verizon store are the same way.
Turn the brightness up and it will go away. It's a quirk of the screen technology.
Allright, so i have to live with that... Thanks for your answers!
Is it possible to edit the levels of the automatic screen brightness?

If you're rooted and have Clockworkmod you can use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377410
Just make sure you meet the requirements and follow the directions in the thread. I have used this on a Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus and didn't have any issues, even though it is in the CDMA form.
I am not the dev of this mod, just passing along the info.
awesome, thanks a lot!
I wonder if there's some kind of deeper hidden meaning to the pattern, some kind of subliminal message jk
