How to adjust contrast in HTC Hermes Screen?

[docles2002]

I am a newbie here. I just want to know if there is a registry tweak on how can I adjust the display contrast/saturation of my Hermes. My brother has a HTC Tytn and the screen display seems to be more briliant than my HTC Hermes Softbank. Thanks.

I don't know about the contrast/saturation, but you will get a more brilliant screen if you adjust the brightness...

START/SETTINGS/SYSTEM tab/BACKLIGHT

The brightness adjustment is set at the maximum level in both units and still the screen display of HTC TyTn of my brother is more colorful and briliant than my HTC Herm Softbank.

I can get a contrast icon to show up by adjusting the registry

open regedit and make changes then do a softreset

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Contrast

and renaming the "Redirect" value to "Redirect_" (or rename to something else, or remove it completley).

but I cant get it to adjust the contrast :rolleyes: but it works in my Axim though maybe someone else can figure something out

I think this is one of those I didn't know I didn't know that moments:)

I did a bit of searching and came up with this link for the axim http://www.aximsite.com/boards/archive/index.php/t-10559.html It appears that this registry tweak only works if you have video drivers loaded which support the contrast feature. It worked for aximfan on his axim but not for other axim users so I guess this is the same for Hermes users.

@docles2002 - Can you check if you and your friend have the same video drivers? (I don't know how to do this (yet) so you'll need to search a bit).

do a search for VJLumosIII, it's a cab file.

It has nothing to do with the contrast.

Back to the subject: as has been pointed out in some of my articles (guys, DO FOLLOW MY BLOG / DO READ THE ARTICLES I POST TO THE GENERAL FORUM HERE!!!), you can't set the contrast on any Pocket PC except the Dell Axim x50v/x51v, which has the 2700G and, therefore, enables contrast settings.
