Has anyone else noticed that when they have full brightness enabled it seems to use more battery power even when the screen is off
Obviously I realize there will be higher consumption when the screen is on
But how can this effect the screen off time

How can a phone use more energy when the screen brightness is full if the screen is off (Maybe your black screen is too bright ? ) lol
Cats, they drained your battery.

Well it's supposed to be general chat about development stuff (hence the name xda developers), not questions like why a bright screen drains more power when the screen is off.

Can anyone please port the TORCH application that is in the market (also comes with CM roms), and make it fully functional?
I have downloaded it from the market (Nexus Torch), and it seems fine, but on "High Brightness" it flickers on and off way too much.
This is one of my fav apps.
Please and thanks

supposedly this is bad for your LEDs whenever you turn it up on the highest for a long period of time or make it flicker like a strobe light. people have reported after keeping the app on for around a minute the LED burned out lol. Forgot which phone it was but it shouldn't matter, also if you notice your phone gets pretty hot when it's on, I only use the flashlight app for emergency and I'm sure that's what its intended for.

Thank you for your suggestion, I guess I've been using the music player instead of flashlight all this time, that's why I don't see any light.
Why not downloading it from market and use as you so wished? Is there a non-compatible issue?

I just need the high brightness setting, It would be nice to have it, I voided the warranty lets get the most out of it!!!
It would be nice, family, friends, and strangers are always asking me to look at their teeth (I should stop mentioning to people that I'm a dentist, I'm afraid if I say I'm a janitor they'll ask me to come clean their floors though!!!!!!), of course this really does nothing major (They really need a full exam in a office setting) but gives me a better idea of what can actually be done and a high brightness would be nice...

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone here could confirm a small, miniscule, almost-non-existent issue I found with this beautiful device. The left (Menu) touch button seems to be every-so-slightly faded compared to the right (Back) touch button. I haven't been able to find any pictures, or take a picture of mine (no camera around at the moment) to show what I mean. It's almost ridiculous that I am spending my time and energy in typing about this, but I would just like to know if this is normal and not something that is unique to mine. Besides, I think it gives it a bit of a personality (like Nemo and his fin).
Unique to yours.

I haven't noticed any issues in any case. I don't think I'd really care. I'm more inclined to worry about signs I've used it! (microscopic scratches that you can't see from anything but the most obscure of angles etc.)

I'm not actually endorsing that (though the front camera is actually not bad, so it could work with enough light), and I'm sure that's not what was meant by that post, but if you're gonna be a **** about it...

Well considering the problem is one button is slightly faded compared to the other and the lackluster FFC, I wouldn't assume that would produce anything useful. I said a picture with clarity.
It was an honest question. Obviously he can use the FFC but he is talking about something so slight it likely won't be captured with the FFC.

About that post anyway, I'm just hoping whoever (s)he is, is trying to make some sort of sarcastic statement about semantics, since the original post said "no camera around" as opposed to "no other camera around". I'm hoping that's what the post's intention was.

yes this is an issue and it also exists in my phone. i got my first S3 and it had lots of glue marks on the screen and the menu led was placed a bit above where it should be causing its light to come on the screen from inside of the scree. i got that set changed with a new one and now rest of the issues are gone but yes the menu led is a bit faded.

How long will you keep asking the same question over and over again?
There is a certain production tolerance. If you feel unhappy with your screen, return it and demand for replace.
If not, stay with it.
But for f*cks sake stop trolling everyone in here!

They are not repairing because there is nothing broken.

Haha!
I'd just like to keep it on all the time, because I think it looks good, but hate the fact that it only illuminates *after* touching the button, although I understand that Samsung can't know when you'd like to push those buttons.
And since I hate that the buttons are so inconsistent, I just keep them off all the time, because that looks cool too, but then again when I hand someone my phone, he/she doesn't get that there are buttons present there, which means they always press them, which then again leaves me to explain that this is not an iPhone and that there are cooler devices out there who work differently.

Exactly. I am afraid it wouldn't do any good, but I was just wondering: how much faster would the battery level drain (in comparison with the default settings).
R: Effect of illuminated capacitive buttons on battery?
You can activate the always on mode in the screen settings....but u do know nobody here will actually test battery drainage times with and without the buttons always on just to make a percentage for you man?
Srsly, try it for a couple of days and ull see....but i dont see them as such a neat feature, i like much more the colored notification led which can be changed with the lightflow app

Yeah....though i think youre getting a bit...."fixated" (forgive me if the term id too strong but since im not native english speaking i cant think of anything else right noe, just take the general meaning of the word) about these buttons.
Really battery is a big problem for smartphones and the buttons arent that cool, even if they were you still press on the so u cant see them....plus its useless cause nobody cares about your buttons as long as you have that cool 4,8" (at least if i remember well) screen...

Hello everyone
I didn't have screen guard installed but only the protective covering. Now it is scratched a lot and I wanna change it. Can I simply remove it and then install a new screen guard? And do non-stickey screen guards come for our phone? Even with least amount of sweat, screen gets sticky and its impossible to move finger over it. Any suggestions?
By non sticky I meant kinda ones we have on s3 and iphones
Yeah, You can simply remove it. Xperia x10 has something like plastic screen, so it will always be sticky and will stop responding with water on it
