Fast light on

[Guest ToLive]

Is it possible to speed up the screen light on (make it instantly) in this situations:

1) When you remove phone from ear.

2) When you push power button.

Thanks in advance!

Might be a shot in the dark, but

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/...742cb69;hb=HEAD

Set ANIMATE_SCREEN_LIGHTS to false will bypass the animation no?

Or reduce ANIM_STEPS

Setting the boolean to false kills the light sensor, so the one to play with is ANIM_STEPS. There might be another delay in the kernel, but framework side I think this will speed things up.

Edit: that didn't do the trick. It did speed up changing brightnesses. Something else controlling the dimming animation.

I changed ANIM_STEPS to 1. This should speed up brightness changes across the board.

I think totally disabling animate screen lights breaks the light sensor.

The thing is, the phone is supposed to be a little slow waking from sleepmode.

The phone enters a sleep (suspend) state after 5 seconds or so I think.

Does this happen on every ROM? I'm still on stock Liquid E and was hoping to that flashing another ROM would fix this. I hate having to wait 2 seconds to see the time. Many times I press it twice thinking that I didn't push it properly the first time, and then it just flashes on for a moment before turning off again. Very Annoying.

Yes, it happens on every ROM, every official bin, everything.

Any one has a solution for this problem? Its so annoying

Live with it. It's what saves your battery.

I mean you could mod the framework like me, but it really doesn't save a lot of miliseconds

So how does HTC do it? I had some time with a friends Desire, and that seemed pretty much instant.

EDIT: It's not just the screen, or the UI thread is waiting for the screen, because you won't feel the lock slider vibrate when you tap the screen (where the slider should be).

EDIT2: Try pressing the power button twice quickly, you will see the brightness go down and then go back up. now wait for the screen to dim (approx .5 second) and then press the button again, quite a lot slower.
