[Q] Screen fade in and out - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using CM 6.1. I've searched and asked and cannot figure out if there is a way to change the way that the screen fades in and out when you hit the power button. I would like it to be instant instead of the fade. If anybody knows of a way to make it instant let me know. Thanks

I had searched for this answer for ages and couldn't find a thing. This is why I strayed away from AOSP. At times it distorted whites on my screen when locking the phone. I couldn't deal with it.
I'd be curious to know this answer as well, it might trigger me to flash back an AOSP rom.

don't know the exact answer but my guess would be the "Automatic Backlight" section.
Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Automatic Backlight.

Quick Tilt 2 Question !

Hi,
I have a Tilt 2 with stock ROM. The only two enhancements I use is "S2U2" and "Advanced Configuration Tool" ! I changed someting and now have a little problem :
When I get an incoming call and the caller id with the pic pops up, I can't pickup the call, using the green on-sceen button. This button does NOT pickup the phone call. I have to use the green hardware button to pickup the incoming call. However, I can use the RED on-screen button to end the call.
I soft reset the phone a few times and tried some settings with the "S2U2 and Advanced Config. Tool", but I can't get it to work.
Any ideas ?
I'd appreciate any help and suggestions.
Thanks,
JCE

Haha, it takes time to understand all the jargon and such that takes place around here. Just do some reading and searching, don't be afraid to ask questions if you can't find a thread explaining it. Eventually I would suggest flashing to a good rom like one of the Energy Rom's or a Cell Rom. The two best Rom Cooks on the Rhodium (Touch Pro 2/Tilt 2) side of xda.
I say the same thing as doublen1, use a non-stock ROM because these come with features already installed and you will be able to use S2U2 and all that stuff. and about the actual issue, I have had problems picking up calls with the screen, so I just started using the hardware keys.
Make sure you didn't mess around with any of the touch screen settings in Adv. Configr or BSB tweaks or something like that. This usually causes the problem with the dialer.
Hi AllTheWay,
well, I don't remember changing anything in the "Advanced Config. Tools" which would cause the touch screen settings to be different. However, I might have done or changed something...... Is there a way to get the "Touch Screen" settings to a default level without hard resetting the device ?
Thank you.

Not that I know of off the top of my head. There might be a setting inside of Adv Config that would allow you to restore to default. Also the S2U2 has a setting to take control as the dialer screen when somebody calls. You can try messing around with the settings in S2U2 as well.
PM me if you don't find an answer soon.

Home, Menu, Back, Search LED Control?

Is there anyway to turn those backlit buttons off? Its really annoying when I try to read at night.
Thanks!
verkion
I'm sure there are apps for it, but if you're on CM..
1) go into Settings> CMSettings> User Interface> Automatic backlight
2) check "Use custom"
3) go to "edit other levels" and change the values for buttons to "0"
Ah phooey...I'm on the Virtuous Sense ROM. I don't think they have this setting there. Anyone know of any working apps for this?
Thanks!

[Q] NexusMOD 3.8 - GoSMS causing screen to turn on?

Asking the question here rather than in the Dev section and hoping someone will see and answer...
When I receive an SMS via GoSMS the phone's screen turns on. I have turned off this function in the notification settings as well as turning off the LED Blink function... This is kind of annoying and am sure it's draining the battery due to face unlock being enabled on my phone...
Is there anywhere else I should look for a "screen on when sms received" setting?
TIA

This is posted in the correct section, Development isn't Q&A. Now hopefully someone will come along with a helpful answer, not junk and bumps.

Yes, In go sms. Go to Settings/ Advanced tab/ notification settings. There is a box there, uncheck it

I had this issue, and I swear I spent half an hour going through every advanced setting tab thrice, and then like magic, after you say it, I see it. I think I need more sleep. Also, why would this be set on by default? I don't think anybody wants their phone performing this way.

Touch Key Light Duration (ICS)

I posted in another thread about a problem with ICS concerning "Touch Key Light Duration", but feel it needs it's own thread.
My problem is "Touch Key Light Duration". Seems to be a problem with the little bit I googled. I can set it the duration to "Always On, but it has a mind of it's own. Somethings will turn off the light; I have to go back into the settings to reset the light.
I've played with all of the power setting, power saving, display settings I can find, but cannot find a way to keep the lights on the way I want. I've done Factory Reset, I've changed the duration, changed power settings,etc to no avail.
Anybody else having this problem?
Anybody have a solution, or an app to fix this?
Same problem here.....I had to choose 6 seconds option in order to get it to work.
I have exact same thing as droid_ra.
I hope somebody will come up with a fix, it's really annoying.
Are you guys running Stock? If so ICS or GB?

Didn't have the problem with GB.
Now I'm running stock ICS. I even tried to do a wipe and reinstall with no success. May try it again.
Haven't tried rooting yet, although I've read in another thread that it may fix it.
I'm running stock ICS rooted, but the problem started right after I upgraded from GB to ICS.
So this problem is not ROOT dependent, but rather ICS's fault.
Like a someone else said, if you adjust it to 6 seconds delay, it will work properly.
However, I like to keep it at "Always On".

I too have the same problem. I'm running stock ICS that has been rooted. I did not have the problem when I was running stock GB that was rooted. Hmmm....
I was looking for confirmation and a fix when I created this thread.
Looks like a bug and Samsung/T-Mobile needs to fix this one.
Perhaps a dev can look into this?
yeah this is quite annoying. "always on" just simply doesn't work. 6-seconds is what I use now but I really wish I could go back to "always on" and have it work. Again, all since ICS update. Overall pretty please with the update but this and the mobile-life sync thing are annoying...
Same problem here, not rooted but happened going from GB to ICS, will have an Siii this week so hoping it's not an issue there.
Work Around
Hey guys I found a work around.
I used tasker and screen filter together to make the backlights light up whenever I turn the screen on.
I made a new tasker profile with the event Display On then put one screen filter task set to 96% and softkey lights off and another screen filter task right after it at 100% and softkey lights on. It takes a split second after turning the display on but 90% of the time it works every time.

My apologies in advance for my ignorance, but how does one go about creating a "tasker profile?"

You go into your tasker app then hit new. Then after you name it, it will pop up with "first context" and choose event--->display--->display on.
jgbenito7,
Thank you VERY much! I had no idea that there was such an app. It's been a while since I've used anything like tasker so I'm going to go slowly: read, read some more, then experiment. Thank you again,
Rich

No problem!
Did you get it to work? The only problem is that tasker is a paid app but its great for little workarounds like these.
I'm still reading how to use the tasker app. I think I understand the event section figured out but having some trouble figuring out the actions (e.g., "filter task set to 96% and softkey lights off....").
LifeHacker has two great articles: here http://lifehacker.com/5599116 and here http://lifehacker.com/5601133. I also downloaded the 14 day trial here: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/download.html . That way I can decide if I want to spend the money. Right now, it looks like I will.

I guess I could have been a little bit more specific...
There are two apps to download "Tasker" and "Screen Filter."
You open up Tasker then hit "new". After naming your profile hit okay then "First Context" window will appear. Hit "event". Then "Select Event Category" will appear. Hit "Display" then "Display On". The priority box will pop up but just hit "done". That is your event that triggers the actions. You should then be in "Task Edit". Click the "+" sign then "Plugin" then "Screen Filter". You should see "edit" across from "configuration". Click on edit then adjust the brightness to 96.1% (not 100% on the first one because it wont work right) then uncheck the "enable soft-key backlight" box. Hit save. Now add the second action by hitting the "+" sign again and do the same steps except this time have the brightness at 100% and the box checked for "enable soft-key backlight". The second action toggles the backlight therefore enabling it and also gets rid of the notification in the status bar. After you are finished hit "done" and then make sure to hit "apply". Test it out!
Got it! Thanks again. I was missing the "Screen Filter" app. I have the Task (event and action) up and running. It didn't work first try because the "Settings / Display / Touch key light duration" was set at "6 seconds." When I changed it to "always on" it started working. I'm looking forward to really getting into "Tasker!"
Had the same problem on every single rom!!
Posted in general, q&a and the rom threads abt this
A clean stock gb/ics doesnt have the problem i tested it for days
Seems like no dev cares abt the problem so i got used to the 6seconds option, i suggest that u do the same

Same problem here with rogers Official ICS on the Skyrocket, tried Google & saw lots of posts about the problem, but no real solutions. I don't think that it's carrier related... It's either Samsung or Google's problem. It's a pita!

[Q] Google User Picture on notification bar gone.

This might seem a little trivial to some, but this is bugging me like crazy lol, when i initially updated to Lollipop i got my Google User picture showing up in the top right hand corner of the notification drop down bar, well after a reset (to cure a rogue app eating battery) this no longer shows up, just the generic green circle with the outline of a head, despite the phone been setup exactly how it was before it just wont set it again - I dont suppose any of you guys know if i need to change something somewhere or anything like that.
Sorry if its a little too trivial just these type of things bug me hehe.

Go to settings -> general -> Users -> tap on your user -> tap on the image circle -> choose picture from gallery or take a photo.
Done!
Well i didnt think to actually press on that to change it, when it updated to Lollipop from KitKat it did it without any user input at all, but thanks for the help its much appreciated.
To bring that back open up G+ go into settings > Account settings > contacts - Check "keep contacts up to date" if its already checked, uncheck and check again.
