used this app and now my screen is black...

---

I opened this app (battery booster, can't post link because I am new) after downloading it excited to hoping it was better then a previous one I was trying that seemed to do next to nothing.

I saw the brightness button and hit it. It showed 11%. I was like oh I thought I had this all the way down...so I use the scroller to take it all the way down assuming 0% meant that it was the lowest it could possible dim the screen...well it sure is a battery saver considering I can't even see my screen as its completely BLACK...............................

1. Why would you even allow something like this in a app.
2. Please help me fix it...

I have tried for about an hour to assume where the scroll down, and mounting the phone to my computer so that I could possibly uninstall it via computer with no luck...

anyone????!

I don't want to piss you off or anything, but I had read a comment on another thread saying they could never get it to come back, even when they went back to stock.

You may need to head down to the Verizon store :/

son of a...this is so stupid! What a bad feature to have in a app for idiots like myself apparently

if you have adb debugging you might be able to fix it...

If you have usb debugging on, you can use adb to delete the app you downloaded I think. Did you have it enabled?

I didn't have debugging on i checked via adb and long story short...i was still within 30 days of purchase ;)

All may not be lost!!

If you're still in your 30 days take it back and exchange it.

If not, try booting into recovery mode and reset the phone. I don't think you need root to do that much and it should put the phone back to the way it was when you took it out of the box.

Hold down the volume button so that you are pressing both up & down volume at the same time (easiest to do with the battery cover off).

While holding the volume keys down press and hold the power button too. When the Samsung screen comes up release both buttons. A couple seconds later you will see the "Android system recovery" screen.

Press the volume down button until you have highlighted "wipe data/factory reset".

Press the "Home" button to select it.

You will then be told to press the volume up button to wipe the phone or press the volume down button to exit/cancel. Press volume up and follow any additional instructions. That's as far as I go to guide you (I want to keep my stuff as is ).

If that doesn't take care of the issue then you should take it to verizon and tell them what happened. Good luck and let me know if this worked for you!
