Hi guys! In this post you can find hw_config for X8 with disabled light sensor. You can compare it to yours to find out how to disable light sensor.

Also, you can upload your hw_config here (/system/etc) and give me a chance to try it ;)

Update: Found the possible solution!

This'll work only if you have similar light sensor.

Open /system/etc/hw_config.sh in text editor.

Search for these two (or similar) lines:

# lm3530 LMU configuration
...
...
[I][COLOR="Red"]echo 128 > /sys/devices/platform/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0036/als::avg-t # 32, 63, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096
echo i2c > /sys/devices/platform/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0036/mode # i2c, pwm, i2c_pwm, als, pwm_als, i2c_pwm_als, i2_als[/COLOR][/I]

Change echo 128 to echo 1024

Change echo i2c* to echo i2c_pwm

Save it and chmod to 777 if needed (if you edited file in Windows).

I recommend using Notepad++ for editing on PC.

I appreciate your job.

I tried right away, had to disable the auto brightness.
[Xperia Arc General] maxx228:
Hi ~ blagus

sorry for my poor english

I compare this file with my one

is only "Line 31" is different ?

echo 0 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/enable #Sensor on/off. 1 = on, reg 90h

echo 1 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/enable #Sensor on/off. 1 = on, reg 90h

after Upload to /system/etc and chmod 777...then reboot

auto brightness still functional :(

update..... auto brightness become no-step(smooth) Conversion
[Xperia Arc General] nex10v9w32h0041:
I'm sorry,,,

I might uploaded files that I was already rewritten.

Change echo 1 to echo 0,

I succeeded to disable auto brightness!

Thanks, blagus!

Edit: When I lock the screen, auto brightness is back. X-<

Thank you for this tip. Helpful!
[Xperia Arc General] keen36:
if you are still running carbon rom (or any aosp-based rom even?), there is an option to change brightness by swiping on the statusbar. it is an elegant solution i think, no need for additional apps/widgets.

you could also set the brightness menu as a quicktile or if you really want to use a widget, i think the preinstalled slim settings offers a brightness option, too.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwidjibo:
Really need some help if there's a friendly Guru out there. Basically I flashed my Samsung Galaxy S with supercurio's Voodoo kernel (amazing) but after using the phone for a week or two I realised the microphone was dodgy (sounded like I was constantly in a toilet). So I need to send it back to O2 without the modified kernel but I can't find the kernel for the original O2 ROM :-(

I've disabled the lagfix and it's back on RFS by the way.

Here are the details of the phone, if anyone could point me in the direction of the best firmware to flash it back to so when I return the phone they won't say I've invalidated my warranty :-)

Service Provider = O2

Country = UK

Language = English

Baseband version = I9000ADJP3

Kernel version = curio carton #Voodoo_stable_5.4.1

Build Number = FROYO.ADJP6

Thanks in advance for any advice you could give.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
to get back to the stock kernel you will have to flash the ROM again.

Did you make a backup of your ROM ??

if not get onto www.samfirmware.com and download it from there.

if it doesnt have your firmware, any 2.2.1 (froyo) ROM will do, if questions are asked (very unlikely) say you updated thru KIES.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
O2 firmware you get only from O2 via Kies .Unless you saved a backup of your rom as been said . Stock rom flashed via Odin will not give you the O2 firmware .

Stock rom flashed and the phone updated via Kies spoof method is about the best way of getting O2 firmware .

Stock = Samsung firmware before its handed over to O2 and has been said many service centres do not bother about it . However non O2 firmware is not covered under warranty if O2 want to be picky .

The key to all this is nobody bothers to save the original rom in the headlong dash to flash anything. That means no stock of custom network roms .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwidjibo:
Unfortunately I didn't back up the stock ROM :-( been to SamFirmware and think this is the closest I'm going to get.

I9000AOJP5

Says it's O2 branded and has english version, the download includes 3 files, so I guess I can't just replace the Kernel I have to update the whole ROM:

GT-I9000-CSC-VIAJP3.tar.md5

I9000AOJP5-REV03-ALL-low-CL713698.tar.md5

MODEM_I9000AOJP3.tar.md5

I'm assuming I can download the .pit from the main page but there are 3 versions

Galaxy S / .PIT File: DOWNLOAD. (512)

Galaxy S / .PIT File: DOWNLOAD. (513)

Galaxy S / .PIT File: DOWNLOAD. (803)

Any clue what the difference is or can I use either?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
512 unless stated otherwise on samfirware .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Just found my stock O2 uk firmware uploading now it will take a while .

This method worked and installed the correct network addons for O2 UK .

From downloaded rom open with zip program and extract to desktop MODEM bin file Then drop the full rom tar on the desktop as well .

Example saved rom is JP5_JP3_U_JP3.tar Modem.bin is inside that fail extract and place together with unopened JP5_JP3_U_JP3.tar on desktop .

You will also need odin 512 pit if its not with Odin .

Open Odin

- make sure you UNTICK Re-Partition Checkbox (which is the default choice)

- Choose "s1_odin_512pit" as PIT

- Choose " the tar file you saved as PDA

- PHONE Use MODEM.bin

- Leave CSC blank

- Start Phone in Download-Mode (see image at bottom)

- Connect Phone via USB

- "Start" Flash using odin

- Goto Recovery mode (see image at bottom) and do Factory Reset / Data Wipe

- Reboot, and wait for full start up. Unplug phone from USB.

- Close Odin.

Its the MODEM file that contains the network extras .>dont want them then you could try just flashing the saved rom tar as it installed Froyo with no network add ons for me .

Thats how i did a recovery to Froyo O2 last year

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwidjibo:
Darn it, wish I'd read this before I started going gung ho into things.

Tried to flash the I9000AOJP5 ROM using the 812 pit all from samFirmware, they stated to use this pit and that the ROM was an O2 branded 2.2 version. This caused my phone to fail on boot with the following warning:

E:Can’t mount /dev/block/stl10

(Invalid Argument)

E:copy_dbdata_media:Can’t mount DBDATA:

So I tried the earlier version of the ROM I9000AOJP4 with the same results (still on the 812 pit and repartitioning). I read that a lot of people had not had success with the 812 pit so I looked for 512 version and compatible ROM.

Decided on I9000XXJP3 as this seemed like a lot of people had success with it and seemed common enough for me to send the phone back with and not raise too many questions (fingers crossed).

After flashing the ROM and all appearing successful it now appears that the phone can no longer enter download or recovery mode. So I've factory reset it, wiped everything and am not sending it back with my fingers crossed for 2 weeks that they replace the entire unit and I get a nice new O2 ROM to mess up again :-)

Thanks for your help guys, all this flashing of ROMs mallarkey seems far too complex and troublesome for me, why can't Samsung just produce a ROM that is as fast as Voodoo and then we'll all be happy!

Cheers again

what happened did you get a new phone?
[LG Optimus 2x] klikli:
Not sure what I meant? Carefully observe the charging process of P990, when it's fully charged (which is defined as charged 100% in Android), it will stop charging and use the battery as power. When the battery has dropped to to 98%, it will be charged again. Well, this does not seems to be good for the life of battery as the battery are constantly charged and used. Better way would be slowly charging the battery while using the external power just like traditional ones. I would like to ask, if it's possible to use the traditional way to charge my battery instead of that way?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djinn23:
Hello All.

I thought this was initially related to the ACS frozen rom but I have flashed back to full stock and took the OTA EC05 update.

On both stock and the ACS build, I have seen issues that are fairly persistent when placing a call. the initial call quality is poor and inaudible to the recipient. This last for 5-10 seconds and the remainder of the time they say I can be heard but the volume seems low.

To me this seems most prevalent to when I am using wifi. I also feel . . .but cannot confirm. . .that I may have taken a speed/signal hit with the upgrade.

I know some have had to go to the EB13 modem when experiencing similar issues. I was wondering if there is any info on why. Is this something I should take my stock Epic to Sprint and ask them WTF is happening in hopes of a replacement phone or something?

Has anyone else experienced these issues? I know call signal I have seen here. . .but what about initial call quality.

Any help is appreciated.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phantomtofu:
I've noticed similar issues. I often won't hear anything when I pick up the phone, I get about 2-3 failed mms/day rather than the old once/week, and data connection is less stable. I rarely call, and the data seems to be just as fast overall, so it's not a huge deal to me.

[Defy General] brookie353:
Hello everyone,

I'm rather confused with installing different sbfs & ROMS on my Defy.

I kind of understand Eclair sbf's with the numbering system, all except for 2.51 can be downgraded to the 2.21 I am currently on?

I am looking to play around with Froyo and plan on installing the Nordic 3.4.2-177 to keep the downgradeability I need to create a fixed sbf? with CG31.SMG and CG39.SMG removed? Then flash it with rsd lite?

Do I need to do anything else besides backing everything up?

also

How does the Froyo build numbering system work?
[Defy General] labsin:
First you need to root, reboot, and install custom recovery. You need to recover a nandbackup found in the post of nordic rom in the custom recovery.

Then do data and cache wipe. Afterwards flash fixed sbf.

The 39 is actually the system data thats why you have to recover it first.
[Defy General] labsin:
I think its better to wipe before nand restore instead of after.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chugger93:
For those of you with the device, at 299 now I think it's a great deal as I can't justify the 500-600 on a xoom, etc. With a custom rom on this baby, is it pretty smooth? What about internet surfing, is it smooth? Just wondering because my friend has a nook for example with CM7, and browsing the web isn't the greatest...but doable I guess.

Is this tablet pretty stable and relatively fast when clicking, launching, playing games, etc? I'm just trying to justify its purchase or waiting for like the HTC Flyer. Of course I'm sure that will be in the 500$ range as well...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr0cs:
As far as basic functionality (web browsing, gaming, etc) the tablet is great. You have a lot of choice regarding customization and hacking, the gTablet is probably one of the better tablets for experimentation and tinkering.

The biggest negatives is the screen, if you already have an iPad or IPS screen-type tablet the screen will probably be difficult to get over. If you can ignore the screen then you will have a difficult time finding a more capable tablet for $285.

Also it has mini HDMI out or whatever right? Can you output it to your television and watch a movie (mkv for example) from this device to your TV?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
Does the web browser have decent pinch to zoom, as in, it's smooth and not choppy?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aNiMeMaN14:
People are reporting that MKV runs choppily. I haven't tested MKV, but XviD works great, if you can bear the quality.

As for the cable, this thing uses a weird connection that is hard to find. Most vendors (read, in China) are selling a cable for $40, and a dock for around $50. If you're looking to connect this to a TV, look forward to tacking on an extra $50 for its asking price.

I am using Dolphin Browser HD, and I can comfortably say that it is almost as good as using a desktop browser, in terms of performance (Flash, web browsing, downloading files, etc.)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarheelGrad1998:
Agreed with the previous poster. I also use Dolphin HD, running on Vegan, and the browser is great. Pinch zoom is smooth and fast.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejsjrnc:
I've been lusting for an iPad for a while, but have never been able to justify the expense of a decent sized one (I refuse to get anything < 16GB). I was hoping that once the iPad2 was released that there would be more of the G1 version available (either as refurbs or used on ebay), but haven't found much luck finding one I was willing to pull the trigger on.

I've got an iPhone 3G (jailbroken, of course...:)) and tons of apps that i've downloaded, so I was familiar with the processes necessary to "root" an iOS device.

I must say that having little to no experience with Android (phones or otherwise) before getting this little beauty, I'm quite impressed. A coworker has the Xoom and aside from a slight size difference and the aforementioned screen visibility issues, my gtab holds it's own against his Xoom. Plus I have $300 more in my pocket then he does at the moment...:D

I'm running TnT Lite 4.40 on mine right now and it's as fast as I need it to be.

If you do get one, I recommend upgrading the ROM as the stock one is pretty crippled. DolphinHD is gorgeous and I'm a BIG fan on using Aldiko to read ebooks. I had previously been using Stanza on my iPhone and it's a world of a difference on this thing....

For some the screen is a deal breaker. If you've used another tab/reader with a better screen, then it may be for you also. I don't mind it so much as I haven't had much of a need for it be viewable at any extreme angle and it's kinda like a built in privacy filter so that nosy nellie's can't see what I'm doing on it unless i want them to. :p

The wife and daughter LOVE Angry Birds on it and I usually have to wrestle it away from one of them in order to use it.

With a little bit of elbow grease and willingness to experiment, this is a great tablet for the price...

Hello,

I dare to post this here as it is partially Android related.

I can't seem to delete shared collections or files in Google Docs. Or to cancel their share action.

They are Android wallpapers and apk collections (legit for the record) that I joined (at least I think, I don't remember doing it) and that are always showing in my document list. I'd like to get rid of those.

Any idea ?

[HTC Desire S] ilbulgaro89:
I know that quandrant is not a good benchmark because the results depends on the hardware installed (CPU qualcomm or samsung or TI OMAP), but my question is:

Desire S in quadrant advanced reach a score of 3000 in the CPU section; the xperia arc, with the same CPU reach a score of 5500 in the cpu section. They are both on gingerbread....so why this difference?

Also the desire HD with froyo and the same Qualcomm CPU reach a 5500 score...

I can't uderstaind!

sorry 4 my english
[HTC Desire S] liljom:
My wife just got her Des S, and Mega jump is lagging

Quadrant score is 1000-1200

how can it happen with an Adreno 205 inside?

it has 1.28.401.1 ROM on it. do you experience it with other ROMs too?
[HTC Desire S] ilbulgaro89:
i've got no lag at all....
[HTC Desire S] liljom:
no lag on Mega jump? not even when you pick up a rocket?
[HTC Desire S] ilbulgaro89:
no lag at all in this game
[HTC Desire S] liljom:
and what is your Quadrant score?
[HTC Desire S] ilbulgaro89:
around 1240
[HTC Desire S] liljom:
yeah, that is the max I can get too

the funny thing is, that my Desire HD with a Desire S port performs better; same CPU, GPU and screen resolution; and no lag in megajump :/
[HTC Desire S] ilbulgaro89:
yeah, I also do not explain the differences in benchmark scores with this 2 devices
[HTC Desire S] RogerPodacter:
i gave my opinion of why the lower scores in this thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036668

basically there has been a general trend on most phones that gingerbread performs lower than froyo on benchmark tests and performance. this is certainly been my experience. and since the desire s is running gingerbread, while the desire HD is running froyo (i think, right?), that is your answer right there...
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
Since the Desire S is the "first" device from HTC dressed in Gingerbread...can we safely say that it wasn't an optimized Gingy version that HTC brought up?

If all the Desire family get their Gingerbread update (Classic, HD, Z) and did perform well in benchmarking, that would leave Desire S...????
[HTC Desire S] liljom:
you are right :)

I run Gingerbread on my DHD, and the Quadrant is lower :)

I thought it's because we don't have the gingerbread sources for DHD, and we don't have the right drivers

but still, DHD has 1500-1600 in Quadrant (compare to 1200) with DS 1.28 port :/ and that's a big difference with the same CPU, GPU
[HTC Desire S] ilbulgaro89:
i ask it in this thread for this reason: dhd has an higher results with desire s gingebread porting......a my friend has in test a developer version of incredible s with gingerbread 2.3.3 and his quadrant score is 1450 (higher than desire s...but with same hardware)
[HTC Desire S] liljom:
2 things can save us:

-we find the way to root DS

-we get a good update from HTC
[HTC Desire S] baste07:
DS is relatively still a "baby"

we'll get there eventually
[HTC Desire S] RogerPodacter:
well maybe your friend's incredible s is overclocked, or he has some other type of customization that you are not aware of. because what i am trying to say is that, stock 2.2 vs stock 2.3, there is a performance and quadrant drop, significantly. stock 2.3 may get around 1250 quadrant, and stock froyo may get around 1650 quadrant. i get 1200 on 2.3, but i can over clock to maximum and get 1400. but somethign still isnt right, because i could over clock on 2.2 and get 1700.

also, people say quadrant scores are meaningless. but this has gotten mis interpreted on the web. quadrant scores are meaningless BETWEEN DIFFERENT PHONE MODELS. but quadrant definitely has meanign within the same device. so if your device runs 1600 on 2.2, then 1200 on 2.3, that is a meaningful piece of data. benchmark shows the ability of your phone to do various tasks like scroll a list, load some html or javascript, or parse a bunch of data. so it annoys me when others (not in this thread) say quadrant is meaningless. what the original statement meant was that lower device A could be optimized very well to be smooth, while higher device B could be better hardware, but optimized poorly to not be smooth, and a benchmark would not tell this story. i agree wtih that. but not within the same device i dont:D

i also see slower choppy scrolling in 2.3, for example tapatalk threads and lists were smooth in 2.2, but choppy and chunky in 2.3, etc. and the benchmark seems to agree with that.
[HTC Desire S] ilbulgaro89:
my friend's incredible s is a stock phone updated to Gingerbread via OTA today...without any type of hack...incredible s is not rooted!
[HTC Desire S] njd:
My understanding was that Gingerbread is quite a bit slower than Froyo in Quadrant tests.

In real use though, it seems fine.

I suppose we'll have more idea when 2.3.3 upgrades become available for devices currently running 2.2.x.
[HTC Desire S] liljom:
Desire HD came out with 2.2, and now it runs 2.3, and yes, the Quadrant went down
