Honestly no idea or I would tell you. Just hope it continues when I get into my work cycle of use after new years

6.0.1 has made bluetooth worse!

 

[unwashed potato!]

what's wrong with your bluetooth? i'm sending my first 6P back because partly of bluetooth issues where it'd be connected but stop outputting through the bluetooth headset and go back randomly to the phone earpeace.

 

[AndyCr15]

For me it seemed to be a weak BT signal. My headset would crackle a lot and stutter a bit for example.

Why would you want to do this?

Why would you want to do this?

When it's so bright outdoors and the standard brightness doesn't cut it. It's a pretty simple concept.

 

[Ewaf]

The full brightness on stock is more than sufficient, doing that would probably burn your retinas off. Not to mention the battery life?

 

[kona786]

Not everyone thinks the same as you. If it's not for you, move on.

why would he move on? it's a legit thing to say. it's like you're forgetting that you're not the only other person on this forum. Why don't you move on and stop being so selfish. others will want to read that this may bun the retinas, use up more battery etc.

 

[kona786]

Why would it burn retinas? You would use it outdoors when you need it. It's not on all the time. And of course it will use more power. You use it when you need it. It's all in the video I linked.

Sorry for being blunt but it's not rocket science.

I wouldn't say it's worse, but it's certainly not fixed (for me at least).

There you go, you've answered all the questions. You can't just post a YouTube url with no context whatsoever and expect no discussion. That's what forums are about.

Its not rocket science

All the info was in the video...hence the link - but hey I concede that my post should have been clearer.

Think this would work on the original 6? On a bright summers day it can be quite hard to see the screen.

 

[kona786]

It's kernel level so I guess if there is a kernel that supports it it would do the same. I'm running elementalX on the N6 but it doesn't have this feature. Maybe the newest version has?

Edit, just checked and it's only for the 6p, elementalX hasn't implemented it on the N6. It would be handy indeed.

Mine is, phone calls drop from BT then 30 seconds reconnect. Use to only happen once a day now happens three or four times per call!

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

You don't have to use it of course. It's just interesting to see how bright the screen can go IMO.

 

[BoomAM]

Cant say I've noticed the BT go good or bad between versions.
I use it for audio in the hire car and to my 360 and it worked fine both pre & post update?
