Hello all: I really like the subdisplay feature of the HTC 7501, but it seems to be pretty fickle !!! I mean, it activates when I put the keyboard cover over (but only sometimes), and even when it activates, it will go away with the slightest motion of the keyboard.
Is this happening to all of you? I have searched in this forum, and there appear to be a few registry tweaks that modify the settings of the subdisplay, but do not solve the problem.
All I am trying to get the subdisplay to appear (and stay) as long as the keyboard cover is on. That way, I can see an incoming call's phone number and be able to answer it without removing the cover.
This shouldn't be too hard, should it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
ditto
happens to me too. bloody irritating (until i ditched the hardware keyboard)
Someone posted a Youtube video about this stuff. It was mentioned in a previous post in xda-developers but here is the link to the video:

I have the same problem, I have asked in other threads for a way to toggle this manually, can a developer help us out PLEASE?
Also I found the commands in the registry that turn it on or off, but it relies on the magnetic switch, and there isn't a registry setting to toggle the setting to another feature such as a button....
The sub display turns on depending on the location of the keyboard. It's kind of a trial and error thing to find the exact location for the keyboard. For my unit, I have to nudge the keyboard a tiny bit to the right hand side (with the sub on the bottom & facing me) for the sub display to activate. I wish they would have designed it so that the presence of a keyboard is enough to activate the sub display...
I tried to find how activate the subdisplay via software, without success.
Then I decided to remove the bottom bar (I used vijay utility) and I installed resco today plugin in the bottom part of the screen. Turning on the display I see the status with keyboard closed.
Sometime I see the subdisplay menu so I move the kyboard to see the resco status
is there any way to jsut turn off the sub display?
Just turn off the unit, or place the keyboard like you usually would and you will see contacts/calendar
Mine rarely works, cant belive they missed this in QA.
It is really anoying, wonder if the X7501 suffers from this as well.

...Moreover I found the subdisplay really usefull. It shows even the picture of the contact, using ATHENA with BT headset is great!
Many features, bur also no way to have it working with PIEFRAMA case (the one with transparent window to see the subdisplay). Infacts, because of the cover, the magnets are weaker and the alignment is even more critcal!
I think we will pay to have a button activated subdisplay
Just to have an idea of the functions it has (call status, battery, network, data connection, sound):
1) close the keyboard, activate it, and slide the volume slider
2) receive a call from a contact with picture
3) receive an sms or mms or e-mail (3 different way of displaying)
4) Is working in any VGA resolution
The best solution could be to use a button to activate/disactivate it when the keyboard is closed

Indeed, mine is a 7501, so this appears to be an ATHENA device issue, and not limited to the 7500.
Too bad, such a great idea and so poorly implemented!
its a magnetic switch in the top of the unit the magnet on the keyboard must latch the swith for it to activate..
I have NO issues with mines always works...
if you run the right side of the KB along the right side on the unit you will see the subdisplay activates

x7501 here, and same problem. This is one of the top 5 problems with the Athena. At this point I just pretend this 'feature' doesnt exist; I rely on my Jabra to tell me who is calling.
Hi everybody,
Question: I'd like the backlight from the keyboard to be always on when loading, or most ideally: to have manual control over it. Right now the only control there is, is the setting 'Light Sensor Enable', but this turns it only on for some period of time. Usefull to save batterypower, but when on AC (like at night in the car) I really find it annoying to have to press whatever button in order to get the keyboard lit.
Anyone knows a solution for this, or can write a small program to handle it? Or change values via Regedit?
Found another thread here about keyboard backlight, but there it didn't work at all.

Im having problem with my spell check and I was wondering if it's universal issue. Last night that little section with the spell check over the keyboard was there and I wake up today and it's gone completely gone I have tried resetting the phone, canceling the keyboard, changing the keyboard nothing has worked. Has anybody else had this issue been able to fix it?
There is a million keyboards... Which one would you be referring to?
I prefer using swiftkey but the standard keyboard is also having the same issue. I also downloaded the third keyboard and the same issue persists
With auto rotation turned on, go from portrait to landscape and then back again while the keyboard is open.
I feel like I'm going crazy trying to find evidence that anyone else knows what I'm talking about.
When I first got my Pixel 6 in November, if I had auto-rotate turned off, and turned my screen, a little circular button would show in a corner and I could tap it to make the screen rotate. It was really handy, because I never turn auto-rotate on, so in the rare occasions when I did want to rotate my screen, I could make it rotate quickly.
I've noticed it's gone though. Is there a setting tied to this that maybe I turned off on accident? Was it removed entirely? Could it be gone because I'm rooted? Please let me know. Thanks!
Edit: Nevermind. This is apparently tied to the navigation bar, which I hid because I use third-party nav. Very sad :- (
my buddy got the same problem, dont know whats going on. works for me though
Good Day Everyone,
I have early stage Age-related macular degeneration. Right now, it is in the early stage, but I'm running into an issue with my OnePlus Nord N10 5G.
The center field of my eyesight is getting darker. For example of your phone is at the maximum brightness level, it would appears around something like 60% brightness to me.
So see a beautiful photo of an evening skyline, but I see a post sunset view. It's still there, I just see it darker.
Anyway, I really need to make my screen brighter then the factory set maximum level. Yes, I know that will effect my battery life l, but I simply need it.
The Google Store does have some Apps that "claim" that to do that, but the reviews always are always very mixed. Alot of the reviewers saying they don't work and they believe the app developers just want access to their phone data.
I have already gone to the "accessibility" section of "Settings". "High Contrast" and "Color Correction" have helped some, but not enough.
So after all that, my question is, dose anyone know of an app for the OnePlus Nord N10 5G that can legitimately increase the maximum screen brightness? In the alternative dose anyone know how trick the Android 11 (Red Velvet Cake) into increasing what the maximum brightness level is set at?

Hey @ARTEST4ECHO,
You maybe encountering the screen brightness/dimming problem that the OnePlus Nord N10 5G has. If you have noticed that occasionally the screen seems dimmer than usual, but the brightness control is turned all the way up then this might be the problem.
Unfortunately this is a super common issue with this phone. I'm very surprised no one else has replied yet. The Forum on Oneplus's website there is multiple threads about this issue with hundreds of people complaining. Unfortunately it seems that OnePlus either refuses or is unable to fix the issue!
There is one "workaround" that I have found that seems to work. At first it seemed to work every time but lately it's hit or miss. Which is very strange though because I never update my device, so I'm not sure why it used to work all the time and now it doesn't.
Here is that solution that someone posted on the OnePlus website forum. (Again it used to work every time until lately so your mileage may vary. Unfortunately this seems to be the only option that helps/resolves the issue temporarily, besides rebooting the phone. Oh in case you did not know if you turn the phone off and back on the issue goes away until it happens again... )
Temporary Fix How To:
How to temporarily readjust screen brightness when dimming issue occurs:
1. Swipe down from the top of the screen to bring up the notification bar and turn on automatic ambient lighting (the small sun icon with the letter "A" next to the brightness slider)
2. After turning on automatic ambient lighting, manually slide the brightness control up. (increase the brightness - it will still be low brightness even after doing that)
3. Then finally power down the phone screen and power it back up. (just short press the power button to power off the screen, then press it again to turn the screen back on)
4. The screen brightness should be back to normal. Then be sure to "disable" ambient brightness as mentioned in the first step.
Hopefully this solution will work for you. Unfortunately if it doesn't there's no other method that I'm aware of to resolve the issue. I've had the phone for now going on 2 years and have been searching for a solution to this problem ever since.
