here is a question for you guys......don't think its been asked before.....at least i try to search for it and came up empty.......
i know the auto-brightness feature is now in the widget (the middle settings).....it seems that the brightness is predefine to 40% (with +- 10% for auto).........is there a way to changed this? ie. from 40% to maybe 70%....
if i changed it from anywhere else....it will just stay there and lose the the autobrightness feature....but 40% is really not enough........any suggestions?
Thanks

Post What Where:[/B]
General - general technical discussion items, news, anything else that does not fit into the other fora categories.
Q&A (Questions and Answers) - all questions, irrespective of type, get posted in here whether they be theme related, accessory related, technical, etc.
Accessories - any items to do with components and/or accessories relating to your device.
Rom Development - only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM development activity and the delivery of actual ROMs and ROM components ONLY. Nothing else goes in here.
Themes & Apps - anything to do directly with the development of themes and/or applications. Nothing else goes in here.
MOD EDIT: BEFORE POSTING ANY THREAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

LOL XperiaX10iUser! Do you have a formatted copy of that on a macro or something.
I just report the post as being off-topic and leave it at that. Doesn't educate, but does keep the forum clean.

Sometimes it doesn't bother me, and sometimes it really annoys me. I forgot to add in regards to the op, just set it at 100% and forget about it.
Do you guys usually have activesync on autosync or do you sync manually?
I turned on my g-tab after I got home from work yesterday (I used it in the morning before I left for work) and all I did was have google mail and google calendar selected on autosync and it took approximately 22 minutes to sync completely.
This is pretty frustrating considering it feels like my g-tab is crippled while syncing and 22 minutes is a longggg time to wait (for me at least).
Is this normal?

First and foremost, I have no idea how you could have started a thread in the development section with only 5 posts under your belt. Second, you started this off as a question, which means this belongs in the Q/A section of the forum. This has nothing to do with Android development.
Mods, could you please move.
To answer your question, if it is taking 22 mintutes to sync your email/calendar, you either have 1 million emails and thousands of calendar events or you have EXTREMEMLY slow internet. Syncing a couple hundred emails only takes seconds.
Thanks for the response, and i recognized later that i accidentally posted in the wrong forum (i browse all 4 g-tab forums). Accidents happen right? Yes mods, please move this to the q&a forum.
And i dont see the need to be so fired up over how im able to post a new thread despite having only posted 5 times prior to this. What difference does it make that you have 300+ posts and i have 5? Especially when you consider that i have joined and been actively reading these forums 2 years before you joined. I could have 10,000 posts if i bickered over every incorrectly placed thread or idiotic statement but it doesnt make me any more valuable or special of a member.

Joining 3 years ago and only starting to post exactly one month ago today sounds like you signed up 3 years ago for some one off the wall thing and haven't been back since. Being active in the community is more important than how long you have been a member. And I am pretty sure there is a new mechanism in place in this forum that keeps people from posting in the development threads until they have 10 posts, and that is why I was mentioning the 5 posts.
[30.5.2012]***READ THIS*** ★★★Operation Clean-Up★★★ A message to the REZOUND users!
After getting assigned to this forum yesterday, I handled my first report. It was to clean up a thread that had off-topic and disrespecting posts. I thought I would delete maximum 10 posts, but I ended up at 93 posts!
After looking at other threads, I saw that most of the users have misunderstood the meaning of the android development threads. In the threads people SHALL discuss the ROMs, what's working and what's not working. The threads are not there to discuss other users and their actions.
Operation Clean-Up
After talking to my Moderator friends, we decided that the whole Rezound - Android forum needs cleaning.
I will from this day go trough the threads in android-dev and clean up off-topic and other posts that are breaking the rules.
Under the process of the cleaning, the thread will have a "thread closed for cleaning" picture at the first page and I will leave a post containing the link to this thread.
I ask all of you to keep reporting off-topic/posts that are breaking the rules, because going trough over 200 threads will take a while, so reporting will speed up the process.
Lets keep the forums clean and let the development continue
YZ.
Update
Just to make one thing clear, the purpose of this "cleanup" is not to make the forums change to a dictator looking thing... But to make the threads clean.
Remember, off-topic posts in Android-Dev threads turns to disrespectful and flaming posts.
You can of course post how happy you are about the rom and that you appreciate the work by the dev, but if you agree with a user's post, there's no need for a post saying "+1". Just hit the thanks button
If you're bored and absolutely have to post something off-topic, head over to the off-topic thread which was made for the rezound users.
Don't like the thread? PM me your off-topic post. I don't have anything against a little conversation between a user
YZ.
I just got off with verizon tech support and they told me that it rolled out the 23 of this month and that it will be batched out. They said it could take up to 2 weeks for all of the updates to roll out!!!!
Says the person who just joined, with one post, and felt the need to start yet another ICS thread.
Thread Closed
This could of been added to a existing thread. Please check there is not a existing thread on a subject before starting a new one.
I have the same problem with my BT as this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39130100&postcount=53456
But since I'm new I can't post anything in the correct forum untill I have made 10 posts in a Q&A forum.
I'm now posting my 10 posts here. Thanks for being patient.
/Jonas...
I don't care if your posting your 10 posts, do not bump the thread more than once per 24 hours.
Thread cleaned.
And FYI as per the forum rules your first 10 posts are to be helpful ones, not spammy ones like thread bumps. I suggest you read the forum rules.
Closing this thread as well, it serves no purpose
