Please can anyone check if the "Screen Filter" app works on the xperia active?

There you can choose "disable softkey backlight". With this option the effect dont appear anymore...

please advice
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] oysteivi:
Screen filter and unselect "Enable soft key backlight" works well. Soft key backlight is disabled, also when unlocking the phone.

The disadvantage being that in a dark room, you'll now have to "know" where each of the three soft buttons is (which probably isn't a problem if it's your phone and you're used to using it).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] duke85:
Thanks a lot! Happy to hear that...

Is there a possibility to autostart Screen Filter or have you to start the app manually after a reboot?

Thanks a lot again

light bleeding

Hi, i also have the Xperia Active Billabong edition. I also notice the light bleeding but on my phone its located on the lower left screen. what does that mean? Could that light bleed damage the whole LCD? Have you compared the brightness of lcd of xperia active on different xperia unit because I noticed that the lcd display of xperia active is much dimmer than the xperia ray. Is it normal? I hope you could give me some information. thanks. :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prinzhernan:
If that's the case then it's not part of the design as previously claimed?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] duke85:
Hi everyone,

last week i got my Xperia Active :)! Nice phone I've to say.

The Screen Filter App works.

But I've got 2 Problems:

1. Screen Filter APP

The App works, till the battery status runs lower than 15%. Then the Soft Key Buttons are enabled! They can't be disabled via Screen Filter then.

Is there another possibility to disable the soft keys? Without rooting? with rooting?

2. Britghness Level

When I'm putting 100% brightness in the Screen Filter app, the light sensor is still active and brightness is still regulated by the light sensor.

Is there a possibility to stick display brightness on 100% without light sensor?

Thanks a lot for your help!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Johan-SonyXperiaSupport:
I actually manage to get some more info behind why this "light bleeding" happens on Xperia active.

When you wake the display the back light goes on at maximum level, and the reason for this is that it makes the display wake up faster. This is independent of what personal back light setting you've made.

It's not possible to change any settings for this in the phone, it's how it works as default.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] duke85:
There is a way to dimm / disable the button backlight. I found it out the last few days.

But it is only working with rootet phones.

Go to directory /system/etc, open "hw_config.sh".

Go to line # LMU AS3676 Configuration

It should look like this:

# LMU AS3676 Configuration
dev=/sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds
#Sensor on/off. 1 = on, reg 90h
echo 1 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/enable
#[gain],[filter_up],[filter_down],[offset]
echo 3,2,2,0 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/params
# touch-button-backlight
[B]echo 8000 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current[/B]
echo 6450 > $dev/red/max_current
echo 7950 > $dev/green/max_current
echo 4500 > $dev/blue/max_current
# ALS curve display BL [grp],[Y0],[Y3],[K1],[K2],[X1],[X2]
echo 1,30,255,54,52,1,65 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/curve
# ALS curve key LED 2 [grp],[Y0],[Y3],[K1],[K2],[X1],[X2]
echo 2,48,0,128,128,4,10 > $dev/button-backlight/als/curve
# ALS curve RGB(red) [grp],[Y0],[Y3],[K1],[K2],[X1],[X2]
echo 3,71,255,64,32,5,37 > $dev/red/als/curve
# ALS curve RGB(green) [grp],[Y0],[Y3],[K1],[K2],[X1],[X2]
echo 3,71,255,64,32,5,37 > $dev/green/als/curve
# ALS curve RGB(blue) [grp],[Y0],[Y3],[K1],[K2],[X1],[X2]
echo 3,71,255,64,32,5,37 > $dev/blue/als/curve

Replace echo 8000 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current with echo 0001 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current

So the backlight is disabled. To dimm the backlight use values between 1000 and 8000.

You need to disable ambient light sensor too?

So this should work for you:

# LMU AS3676 Configuration
dev=/sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds
#Sensor on/off. 1 = on, reg 90h
echo 0 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/enable
# touch-button-backlight
echo 0001 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current
echo 6450 > $dev/red/max_current
echo 7950 > $dev/green/max_current
echo 4500 > $dev/blue/max_current

The other lines below are deleted!

Works fine for me... battery run-time increased by this modifications...

Give me feedback
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] duke85:
Ok, one problem I detected:

When battery goes low (unter 15%) the red LED is not flashing anymore.

Anyone an idea?

Edit:

Sorry, my fault... LED flashes at 10%... works fine ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shibabz03:
works like a charm! thanks! is there any tweaks for our active? or any good custom room to use?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Cloudus91:
Me has a perfect screen.

For your second problem,the only way is to root your phone and download "Disable Auto Brightenss" app.

I can't post the link because I'm new.

I hope that Sony ericsson solve this problem with 2.3.5 or ICS.

Hi,

I just bought the active 2 days ago(the simple one, not the billabong edition), and i had the same problem (the light bleeding).

I resend it to my internet sellers, and i'm waiting for a new one.

But seeing youre message , i think it will be the same....

I will tell you if it's the same problem when i'll got it.

I've proceed to research about the light bleed problem, and here is a quote from

"I've noticed that the illumination of the "soft-touch" key can be seen on the display on black background.

I've been checking this for a while now and I would say it's according to the design."

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I just want to be sure and ask before proceeding.

Before anything else, know that I have read this:

[How-To] Safely test custom kernels / custom ROMs and get back to stock SE 2.3 ROM

Even though I've said that, I'm still a bit uneasy with the whole procedure as I encountered a boot loop on my first try and I 'accidentally' fixed it by entering recovery and wiping the data/doing a factory reset. So I am still on unfamiliar grounds, thus the many questions >_<

Model number: ST15i

Android version: 2.3.3

Build number: 4.0.A.2.368

I am currently using DoomLord's ST15i DoomKernel and I wanted to update to 4.0.2.A.0.42

My questions are:

1. What's the difference between this ftf file from this one? Aside from the latter being a prerequisite for CM7.1.0? Which is advisable to flash?

2. After downloading the 4.0.2.A.0.42 ftf from the above link(s), do I just extract it and flash the system.sin? reference to quoted text:

Please forgive me for my ignorance (and for some more questions if the above two has been answered) and I am hoping for your kind replies.

Thank you

EDIT:

Went ahead with CM7, now currently waiting at Sony Ericsson boot screen. Getting nervous though, it has stayed on like that for the past 10 minutes.

EDIT2:

Successfully updated to 4.0.2.A.0.42 CM7

I'm running Poweramp 1.4 paid version on my Droid Charge and I have it connected to a 2011 Ford Edge with Sync. When I turn on the car it will automatically start playing even though I have it turned off in settings. Especially a pain when I'm listening to a podcast on podtrapper and it comes on in the background. It will also come on when my phone disconnects from the car as I'm getting out and I wasn't even listening to Poweramp. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey guys,

after trying to get a new ROM yesterday with new Kernel and so on, I didn't pay attention for some minutes and ****ed up the software/os that was running on my phone.

Then I thought as always "Well, what's the deal? Just get the Sony Ericsson PC Companion and get the original firmware back!"

- After doing that, I noticed that my phone did boot as usual. Then, I had to enter my PIN Code for the Sim Card but after entering it correctly, my phone shows me just my background wallpaper and thats all.

I dont see any buttons or anything else, just the notification bar and the background without any symbols or shortcuts.

If I boot without my SIM Card, everything works as usual. But with ANY sim card, my phone doesn't boot properly!

I did google the mistake 10000 times, please, help, anyone? :( !!!

[HTC Inspire 4G] GunFishin:
I updated my Inspire from CM7.0 to CM7.1 about a week ago and everything is working perfectly except for one thing. Every now and then when I call people they can't to hear me during the call. I have no problem hearing them.

I was looking for some assistance with the issue. Please let me know if there are any additional details I should provide to solve the issue.

I'm almost positive I'm running a stock radio, however, I'm not sure where to check that.

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] esiedlecki:
One thing that I noticed about the CM ROM, is that the face sensor is a little iffy, and would turn the screen on some times, while my face was pressed against it. My advice, is to first things first, check to see if the screen is turning on, and you're accidentally hitting some buttons.

If the issue persists, then I'd try reflashing.

If it still continues to happen, perhaps you could look into another ROM; Currently LorD Clockan's ICS build is very stable, and incredibly beautiful. If you're into testing new things, it's definitely the way to go.

[Galaxy S II General] moruru1:
I listen to musics on "Power AMP" player.

I don't know whether it can play movies(such as mp4 file),but how do you use it?

The player can change volume with equalizer.

You may watch the movie with lower volume...a little
[Galaxy S II General] JuniorGG:
Volume loudness while playing videos sometimes appears lower simply due to the fact that the audio track of movies is often recorded at low level, to maintain a good reserve of dynamic for sound effects.
[Galaxy S II General] jamesyb0i:
No don't mock this guy has a point. My S2 is extremely loud on volume 1. I wish I could turn it down more!

This happened recently as far as I know, so I'm guessing it has something to do with my custom rom and/or kernel (villian rom 3.0).

I also dropped the phone and cracked the screen if that could have affected it.

But seriously, too loud!
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Actually the music player, games and applications got good loudness in its volume. However the stock video player is not loud enough even when the volume is set to 15. Is this normal? Are u telling that the Power AMP may solve this?

hmm u got a good point there. Let me do some tests and get back later. Could u suggest on what means I should select the sample of videos? or u have any suggestions to try out? Thanx.
[Galaxy S II General] moruru1:
Thanks for reply! I also think that.

In my S2, rom is default,but kernel was changed(in order to get rooted)

or there are some hardware problems ...
[Galaxy S II General] moruru1:
Ohh,sorry...I misunderstood.

I wanted to say that Power AMP can the volume "higher" with equalizer, and you might solve your problem.

I can also make my S2's volume down,but it still has been loud:(
[Galaxy S II General] Teio:
You can use the EQ on power amp, the first slider is the Gain Control, which can be used to lower the volume further

Yeah, gps can sometimes take ages to get lock, I have waited for up to 5 mins for lock, this is not limited to any type of rom, I have used stock eclair, stock froyo, rooted eclair and the others in my sig....

If you have mobile internet and network location turned on, i notice it does help to get lock quicker, I think that has something to to with AGPS data loading. Also if you don't use gps regularly the location data becomes out of date, I'm pretty sure there is an expiry on the life on the data, so for example if you use gps regularly daily or a few times a week it seams to lock much quicker....

On another note, I have one of those silicone rubber covers on my phone, when using the "gps test" app (from market) for example I get quite a significant signal increase when I take the cover off, so if you have a cover, try taking it off and see if it helps you...

Hi XDA users!

I'd like to get some help, because I would like to learn how to port ROMs to the LG GT540. I'd also like to learn how to port kernels(.32 or .35) to the phone. I won't get a new phone for at least a year, so that's why I'd like to learn these.

If you can help me, I'd appreciate it! What do I need for it?

I read somewhere that I need Linux, but do I need to know about programming? If yes, then which language? I had been learning Python in the summer for 2 monts, I liked it, but I'm afraid none of you know that language.

So I welcome any suggestions of how to start!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] andreas__:
u need c++ c and java i think
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] martin255:
I was thinking about these 2 languages to learn. Is c++ based on C or not? Which software should I use to learn? Would Microsoft Visual c++ be good?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] bozont91:
For the kernel you will need c - but not very simple c :D Also it's best to know the configuration for the gt540 to make it run. For the UI - it's written in Java. :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] martin255:
So where should I start? Just pick up and e-book and start learning C and Java?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] bozont91:
First it's best to start with C, but not the hardware C - it's too comlicated for starting. Then you can continue with C++, learn the object orientated programming basics, classes, inheriting etc. Then you can go on with Java :) It sounds difficult, but if you learn C and C++ well, Java shold be a piece of cake :) I think it's easier to write apps for your phone frist, than hacking kernel :)

As for IDEs i use: Eclipse (for Java), C-Free (C) , NetBeans(for Java, C++, C)
