Comment 1 for bug 1190671

there are two parts to this bug:

1) the utah-client's error message stinks. its practically hidden:
  "utah_tests_sample/idle_max_brightness/tc_control"

I'm fixing this ASAP as well as a couple of others I've uncovered.

2) I need to dig a bit in my new phablet script. One part of the problem is that adb-shell always returns 0. but we should be able to figure out what's really happening.
