[Windows 8 General] killall:
I installed Chrome and set it as my default browser then removed the tile for IE 10.

I now want to try out IE 10, but when I use search and replace the tile, I don't get a live tile just an .exe tile, so when I open IE 10 it goes to the desktop version.

Anyone know where the immersive IE 10 tile has gone or how to get it back??
[Windows 8 General] mattn95:
The exact same thing happened to me. I was also wondering how to get it back.
[Windows 8 General] killall:
Sorted....Control Panel and reinstate IE as default :)
[Windows 8 General] Lumenii:
To summarize, when a Metro application's tile no longer appears after replacing it as the default application for a given task, you must reinstate it as the default in order to get that tile back?

Personally, I think having the choice of a separate "default" option for Metro and Desktop interfaces would be helpful. For example, right now I prefer Firefox or Chrome on the desktop side, but am limited to IE10 on the Metro side.

Anybody thinking on getting the htc Flyer now that the price has dropped and getting rid of your Transformer?

I'm thinking about it...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devistator18:
Didn't even cross my mind. I love my transformer, and it's not even rooted, yet... Just waiting for a root solution for the higher B70s.
[HTC EVO 3D] scottlam1:
if you have s-off and 1.50 can you flash custom kernals or other things you cant with htc unlock method
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
If you are S-Off with 1.50 you should be able to flash anything the traditional way. I used Revolutionary and was S-off with hboot 1.40. I upgraded radios/firmware etc and accidentally picked the wrong file. It bumped me up to hboot 1.50. I was able to reload TWRP and then flash a rom with no issues.

However, that being said. If you are S-off you can just roll back to hboot 1.40 with no problem. Look for xHausx thread with Engineering Hboot. He has a link for the 1.40 boot, flash that one, not the 1.04.02 file. You just rename the file to pg86img.zip and let it run through bootloader.

I did this last night. Again....you must be S-Off with revolutionary, before going to hboot 1.50. So for anyone who used HTCdev tool to root, you cannot roll back at this time. Try it and it either won't work, or may brick your phone.

I went from this right out of the box:

To this after using revolutionary Root:

Then I mistakenly flashed this to correct a problem with my stock rom:

Which gave me this, but I was able to reload TWRP and flash a rooted stock rom still with no issues. Due to being S-off it makes no difference on the hboot:

Then I flashed the 1.40 hboot via bootloader and went back to this:

My advice to everyone, don't be a derp. Pay better attention to what firmware upgrades you flash. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] scottlam1:
thank for the reply. i knew what i was doing when i flashed ruu. i never had any problems with og evo. i just wanted to be sure i could stay with 1.50 so i can keep the radio. i hate this hboot fastboot. the og evo was way more user friendly. i could flash whatever i wanted in recovery. with 3vo all i see is restrictions wich i can deal with. new devices mean slower dev time. i sure to miss ra.
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
My radio is updated on 1.40 hboot. You can flash all the firmware updates minus hboot in xhausx thread.
[Droid 2 Global General] Poryhack:
Is it normal for battery life to only get reported in increments of ten? My last Android phone would happily report 1% differences.

Also, what kind of battery life do you guys get? I'm running Hexen with wifi/EDGE on most of the time and it seems pretty poor. I'm pretty sure it's been calibrated too.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
It's normal for these phones. Custom firmware sometimes solves this battery life stuff.

Since you're on AT&T, you probably use 2.4.29.

1st, on 2.4.29 you can get a pretty stable CM7 build that will display battery life in 1% decrements.

2nd, battery life on stock 2.4.x is awful. CM7 rectifies it a bit.

If you're set to use stock firmware, you'll probably want to root, and at least install SetCPU and freeze bloatware.
[Droid 2 Global General] Poryhack:
Thanks for the info. I'm technically on Hexen which isn't 100% stock. At the very least a lot of bloat seems to be gone. Do you know how Hexen stacks up against CM7 as far as battery life is concerned?
[Droid 2 Global General] tennyleaz:
Actually, Battery monitor widget can display to 1%.

Im using it on Hexen rom.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Sure. It can. But it uses an estimate, not what the system actually reports.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
It is pretty darn close, I'd say it reports battery percentage very accurate. Very consistent with the internal 10% gauge, no jumps and hops.
[Droid 2 Global General] tennyleaz:
OK, now I change to CM7 1204a. Any battery app won't work anymore.

Waiting for CM devs to solve it.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
That's not something Moto does, so it'd have to be a custom ROM or theme.

[HOWTO] disable ambient light sensor for LCD in xperia mini

I think I've suceeded in turning off auto-brightness in my SK17i (Xperia mini pro), Android 2.3.3, build 4.0.A.2.368.

It doesn't dim backlight after couple of second inactivity.

It still dim backlight about 3 seconds before timeout set in Settings/Display/Screen timeout.

You will need root. Files you have to modify has mode "-rw-r--r--" (writable only for root).

You can try it without permanent changes (settings will be lost after reboot):

Connect phone to PC over USB cable, enable Settings/Applications/Development/USB debugging.

Run command:

adb shell

You should get root shell (line begins with #).

In that shell run:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/lcd-backlight/als/enable

Disconnect USB cable.

If it works for you, you can make it permanent. Basically you will edit file which sets this on device boot:

Open Root explorer

Go to /etc diretory

Find hw_config.sh, long touch and in popup select Open in Text Editor

Find line

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

and edit it to

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

Press Back button and save file.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] slid3th:
It works, but... After the phone starts, the maximum brightness is set up and ambient senzor doesn't work. But if you turn off display and then you wake it up, brightness is lower than before it's like you have been in dark room, but aren't.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] duke85:
Is it also working with xperia active?

Is there a possibility to disable the soft key backlight at this way?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] taaviu:
Use "superDim" :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] duke85:
superDim can also disable soft key backlights?

I can't find that kind of option :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] taaviu:
Yes. Try other lights option.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ionutph:
To disable softkeys light I use Screen Filter with 100% settings to not dim the screen and it has an option to disable softkeys light. I enable and disable with app shortcut. The widget will not work with full 100% screen, but use regular icon.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] duke85:
I rooted my xperia active.

Superdim don't disable the ambient light sensor.

The Button Backlight once is disabled, once it isn't... doesn't work steady :( When I'm closing superdim, backlights are back on.

Is there another possibility?

you can do it yourself.

type in terminal emulator:

su

echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_current

after reboot backllights will be on again.

you can create a script using scripter app from play store or you can create a permanent init.d script yourself (or i can provide a flashable zip)

I have an ATT Nexus one and a desk dock. The N1 is 100 percent working but has been my daily phone for almost 2 years so has a little wear. The battery on oxygen or Super is more than a day but I have a new unused Google battery I can throw in.

I would not normally part with it but my Thunderbolt on Verizon now gets 2 days of battery life on Sense 3.5, so I do not need the N1 now even though I still carry it with me. PM me and I can set something up through paypal if you are really interested.

I always have at least one alarm set and the icon stays there useless occupying the notification space. Can we remove it? I tried to search and found this thread. But no luck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anisbombaywala:
At least with JKay's v11 theme the alarm icon looks better and doesn't hurt that much, but I am still looking for a way to get rid of the icon itself.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aidfarh:
Search Alarm Clock in the market and try one of the 3rd party alarm clock apps. Some of them allows you to remove the notification icon. The one I'm using is Caynax Alarm Clock, but it's only because I like the widget. Caynax also allows disabling the notification icon.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anisbombaywala:
That could be one option. Thanks for that.

However I would still wait for a solution with the stock one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claimui:
If the smali edits in the other thread don't work, then probably the easiest way is to replace the alarm icon with a blank (transparent) .png file.

All of the icons are in the framework-res.apk file. I took a quick look and I think the icon is ic_lock_idle_alarm.png, under res/drawable-hdpi.

For replacing png files, you just need to open up framework-res.apk with a zip program (e.g. 7zip) and replace the png, no need to use apktool.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anisbombaywala:
Thanks. This is could be another option. But I guess the invisible icon would still occupy the same amount of space.

did a search so if already asked sorry but i didn't find the post..

anyways.. anyone else getting a really fast battery drain after using google wallet?

i i'm on stock but rooted.. loaded the file available for the ns4g and when i open google wallet, everything works and what not.. leave the program either pressing the back button or home.. and after a few hours.. battery drains pretty quick.. look at the battery monitor stat thing.. google wallets always on the top even though i used it once for 1 min... same results even if i turn off the nfc chip in the settings.. basically have the restart and not open up the program and battery is fine..
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
I'm using peter alfonso's stock rooted 2.3.7 and I've even used google wallet and it isn't even in my battery use screen.
[Nexus S General] Jeremiah239:

i'll flash to this rom and see how it goes.. should i still clear cache and stuff?? plan on just flashing but still trying to keep programs and contacts etc installed..
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
Stock 2.3.6 and no battery drain issues. I'm curious if it's stuck polling some resource. If you capture a logcat do you wee any wallet activity? Are you seeing the device wakelocked or waking often?

I had the same issue as well, I'm running stock and unrooted.

[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
I'm running a kang'd cm nightly with google wallet and sure enough now it says 59% google wallet...
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Yea, I had my suspicions it had something to do with CM7. I saw quite a few posts on the interwebz about people having battery troubles with GW and was curious as to why I wasn't having any trouble. Everything was gravy on stock 2.3.5 with the 2.3.7 update, and on my current ROM, Pete's GPA18 Beta.
[Nexus S General] onigiri1692:
I was running stock 2.3.7 for a few days and was also running into battery drain issues with Google wallet, where according to the battery use utility it was using upwards of 36% of the battery at the end of the day after simply opening the wallet app, not even after actually using it. There is probably a few bugs in the software as it was just newly released so look for Google making some updates in what I assume will be the near future.
[Nexus S General] superm1:
Happened to me too today. I noticed subsequently trying to open it that it didn't want to "unlock" either until a reboot.
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
Yep, after switching back to GPA18 it works fine.
[Nexus S General] kunalp83:
i ended up flashing to peter's rom.... stock rooted odexed rom.. and now i can open google wallet without battery draining.. i opened it thru one or two times a day the first few days while keeping the nfc chip on.. and without actually purchasing anything.. and no serious battery drain... so for me solution found.. clear cache and such.. then flash to peter's rom.. problem solved
[Nexus S General] sano614:
I have the same problem. Here's what I posted in the Google wallet possible fix thread.

Anyone having any battery issues with this? I flashed this last night and I'm down to 45% battery in 7 hours with Google wallet using 52% of my battery and a keep awake time of 4 hours and 34 minutes....

I'm running a fresh install of the latest NSCollab which is based on nightly 212 I believe.
[Nexus S General] frickn:

Why?

if you dont have this issue, why the F*** do you comment on it saying:

your not helping at all.. its so pointless. this guy needs help.

Im running 2.3 oxygen, and it just happened to me today, been running the same setup for 2 days now and today it happened. I just tried to force close wallet and cleared the apps data and cache. will post results

Perhaps because the OP asked the following QUESTION:

[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
Dude don't come here with that attitude. You're new here so I won't report you, but that type of attitude is not acceptable. People are saying they don't have issues to say maybe it is something that is their SET UP and not an issue with google wallet/their ROM.
[Nexus S General] pitmaster:
Ever since I was able to get wallet working on my ns4g running cm nightlies, I haven't had an issue with my battery. Still getting a good 14-18 hours. I do disable wallet after each use though....so to check, I enabled wallet a few hours ago to see if I got a drain and it doesn't pop up in my battery use stats. Wondering who uninstalled everything(wallet, nfc, tags and shopper) and then flashed the 0930 gapps and the walletfix zip? If you did are you having batt issues or not and same for those that didn't........

On nightly 131 now with matr1x 8.0 cfs.....

ahhhhh...........gone todash..............
[Nexus S General] belvedere:
No idea if this is correct, but it's at least my theory as to where the battery drain comes from. I haven't actually used Google Wallet but I opened the app several days ago and set everything up to get my free 10 bucks. Since then I hadn't opened it up til last night to just check a few things out. Upon opening this second time I had NFC disabled and it prompted me to enable it. I never did and just hit home and thought that I closed out of Wallet. I guess since I never enabled NFC it sits waiting/attempting to get access to NFC. I have crappy cell signal at work but yesterday I left with about 70%, which was stellar. Today I left with about 30%.

Since then I've opened Wallet with NFC enabled, let everything sync up, backed out and disabled NFC again. I've been 2 hours on a battery charge and Wallet isn't even in the power usage list.
[Nexus S General] CJSnet:
I have the vanilla T-Mobile ROM which is merely rooted. After installing the wallet zip i too am seeing severe drain. Any fixes?
[Nexus S General] svtfmook:
turn the card off when not using it. and turn nfc off when not in use.

[Nexus S General] jm1999:
Running the latest cm nightly. I noticed Wallet is taking 12% with my card enabled and nfc enabled. when i disable the card it goes down to 9%. When i disable nfc it goes down to 6%.

Is 6% alot or is anyone else getting better numbers?
