Small correction

Hey, small correction to your above post, hopefully this helps somebody out there

The file is actually build.prop

And the original commented line looks like the below WITH the hash in front

# try to disable proximity sensor in call by default

#gsm.proximity.enable=false

Instead of reflashing the ROM I booted the phone into recovery, then did

adb shell

adb mount /system

exited the adb shell, then

adb pull /system/build.prop c:\temp

edit c:\temp\build.prop, removed the comment hash

adb push c:\temp\build.prop /system/build.prop

rebooted, made a call, watching the battery usage, and dialer isn't at 98% after 30 minutes, in fact, it hasn't even shown its ugly face!

Awesome, thanks for that find!
[HTC Wildfire S] UnknownFearNG:
Ah. Been reading posts all over and they all say to remove the hash tag. I'll give this a try later. You can for sure tell its not showing up after a reboot, power off, etc.? This really is an frustrating bug we have on our hands and I for one hate having a phone that lasts ~5 on a ful charge.
[HTC Wildfire S] UnknownFearNG:
Quick question. Dialer is already in my processes running. Will it still work or do I need to clear it first, cause I have no idea how to do that lol.
[HTC Wildfire S] UnknownFearNG:
Need your help. I'm trying to run these commands, but they aren't working for me. When I go to type adb shell mount /system, it keeps saying adb: not found. Any help with this? I used to be able to do this, but it's not letting me do it :(
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Please clarify one thing for me...

I don't know for sure but this seems to disable the phone's proximity sensor during calls, so the screen will be always on while calls are being made (until the screen timeout activates).

Am I right? If so this fixes one bug and creates another problem. :(

I would be glad if someone that already tried this can confirm what I'm thinking.

Thanks a lot in advance. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] aigaming:
Confirmed,i used this long time ago and the display stayed on for whole time during call and also proximity was disabled for screen auto brightnes(probably more apps)
[HTC Wildfire S] UnknownFearNG:
But it seemed to work for me. I did it and rebooted my phone and the Dialer process was gone. I then made a test call and while the call was on, the Dialer process was not there. Then, I kept checking and it still did not appear. I also applied the best battey tip you'll ever need.
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
aigaming, thanks a lot for confirming what I already suspected.

This is a "fix" that creates an even bigger problem.

Last week I had a phone call with an Engineer that lasted more than 80 minutes.

If the screen was on during this period then instead of the Dialer draining the battery I would have the LCD draining the battery. :rolleyes:

I don't need the proximity sensor for auto-brightness for example (like to set it on my own) but it shouldn't be turned off because it's probably necessary for the camera application (for example).

This Dialer battery drain is just a cosmetic bug IMO.

If we want to know what really eats our batteries then we should use *#*#4636#*#*, usage statistics instead.

There is info in miliseconds of usage by each app. :cool:
[HTC Wildfire S] shaarky:
And what about fix for S-ON phones?
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
If you edit the file, replace it on the ROM and flash it, then this method works on s-on phones. Be warned that the screen will remain on during calls.
[HTC Wildfire S] shaarky:
Well, I mean if there is some way to apply this on S-ON phone.I think it's not, so better to update name of the thread...
[HTC Wildfire S] KaJI9gyH:
I also interested in fix for battery drain on s-on phones. Mine adb says permission denied.=(
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
The method drzerog uses is for s-off phones. The method on the first post works with all, s-on included.
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
I updated my posts. Sorry for the mistakes but now info is correct. Please read again. Thanks.
[HTC Wildfire S] UnknownFearNG:
I can also confirm that, for me, during a call it does NOT leave the screen on. It turns it off on my device. Maybe it's different for each phone? But that can't be. Weird. Again, confirming it works on my device and my battery is now showing proper statistics, as well as Dialer process not appearing
[HTC Wildfire S] UnknownFearNG:
Also wanted to make note that I have changed the topic title and noticed this thread is now in the rom/recovery/guides/kernal/root stickie!! VERY COOL! :)
[HTC Wildfire S] chuyendv:
Not work for my WS rom 2.3.5 stock/ S-OFF, the dialer process still keep 92%
[HTC Wildfire S] talonstriker:
If it's a cosmetic bug, then it's likely an app issue. So this should be resolved by either using a different dialer or by fixing the app so it doesn't poll the proximity sensor. I'm willing to take a look into the app if decompiling it is trivial. Can anyone point me to the right direction instead of me taking a couple of days to figure it out?
[HTC Wildfire S] UnknownFearNG:
In all seriousness, I think it was the battery. I followed the best battery tip you'll need and I think that's what fixed it, not this method that I posted. Then ageing, who knows for sure.
[HTC Wildfire S] Turtlejoe22:
Need a Step By step how to on this Please!!

I have a Rooted Htc Wildfire S running 2.3.4 i need to know where to access this file to stop dialer I have a stock rom
[HTC Wildfire S] UnknownFearNG:
You need to have a rooted device in order to do this. Download a file manager such as ES File Explorer. Next, give it superuser permissions by going into Settings of the app and clicking Start on Root and Mount System. Accept the permissions and then go into the /system directory of the device. Next, look for the file called "build.prob" and open it with a text editor to edit it. Look through the file for the line:

# try to disable proximity sensor in call by default

#gsm.proximity.enable=false

Simply delete hashtag infront of gsm and save it and reboot the device.

Again, if you carefully look at the first post in this thread, it should be pretty clear. I basically made a tl;dr of the first post. :confused:
[HTC Wildfire S] Turtlejoe22:
I downloaded the Above File manager But was unable to locate System directory, it just showed me folders that are on my Sd Card and yes my device is rooted
[HTC Wildfire S] UnknownFearNG:
In the application, click on the blue star on the far left. Then, click phone. You will now be in the device file structure and will be able to find the build.prob file in the /system directory.
[HTC Wildfire S] Turtlejoe22:
When i try to save it after deleting hashtag it says error when trying to save file it will not be saved ?:(
[HTC Wildfire S] UnknownFearNG:
Because you need to mount the system first. In the Settings, make sure Root and Mount is both checked.
[HTC Wildfire S] uga6:
I think it only fixes the statistic issue, but the battery usage stays the same.

And I also had the issue, that the proximity sensor did not work anymore and the display stayed on during calls. Very annoying...
[HTC Wildfire S] Kjeksen:
I can confirm that this fix solved my dialer-drain 100%!

For the last few months, i have been unable to find a solution, but this nailed it.

And my phone still turns off the screen during calls.

I have a Desire HD, running Android Revolution 6.3.2, with Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0

I only used ES File Explorer to edit the file on the phone.

The lines

# try to disable proximity sensor in call by default

#gsm.proximity.enable=false

did not exist in the file, so i just added "gsm.proximity.enable=false" at the bottom of the file. Rebooted the phone, and the Dialer issue is gone!

Thanks alot :)

How Do you complete this action on simonsimon34s 3.5 rom ?? ivr tryed looking countless times for that line but it doesnt show up in this rom
[HTC Wildfire S] ratboy90:
I'm running stock everything on my WFS. Is there any way to fix this? It's on 2.13 and android 2.3.5

EDIT: Just wanted to say I tried re-flashing the ROM and now the error seems to have gone. Even battery usage looks normal.
[HTC Wildfire S] savoiu:
I tried this as well yesterday and so far so good after placing/receiving a few calls.

I don't know if it matters but I also have "GSM auto (PRL)" in "Phone Info".

This is on a rooted WFS (hardware version 0128) running stock 2.3.4 ROM (version 3.01.652.1 710RD).

I cannot add a Citi MasterCard to my Google Wallet on any custom ROM I have tried. I can do this on stock whether I have root or not.

Has anyone else had any luck with this? It's been recommended to use Titanium Backup Pro to backup the app and restore it to a custom ROM, but I don't want to spend $7 to fix this problem if I don't have to.

Not all Citi MasterCards work with Wallet, only the ones than have NFC built in work
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] codemonkey85:
To clarify, what I meant here is that this Citi MasterCard works just fine if I'm running Gingerbread. It fails if I'm using ICS.

It's some kind of technical limitation or issue... and from what I'm hearing, it's probably designed as a security check.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perlgoodies:
Hi all:

I'm hoping someone can help me here. I have Cyanogen 7 on my phone and had it for a while. But I'm having some issues with it (every day some apps uninstall themselves and when I go back to the market place it says it's not compatible with my device) and I'd like to go back to the stock rom. I had a backup but for somereason it's not on my SD card anymore.

I downloaded the RUU from the HTC web site but no matter what I do I can't get it to find my phone. I get the USB 170 error. I even installed HTC sync and it doesn't detect my phone.

Is there any other method to get it back to stock? A pre-setup rom I can download and install through Rom Manager perhaps?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidaljs:
Just go to Liquid Sense ROM instead...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=856099

you can update your PRL there and then Just flash whatever ROM you want with a clean slate...

But you'll need to do more than just factory reset.

From recovery...

Format everything except SD card under mounts and storage

then do the regular factory reset and wipes.

Then erase all ur old restores if they are giving you trouble

uninstall and reinstall ROM manager and reflash the top tab, clockmod recovery

then u should be good to go on flashing whatever ROM you want... but if youre using titanium backup... becareful cuz whatever issue your having may follow you if you do any sort of titanium backup

good luck

if not then unroot with this

Basically this tool will either run forever in search for Prime number OR it will stop and notify when CPU voltage is too low. Having this ported to Android would be huge help with Undervolting our phones.

Source is here: http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/

"On an absolutely stable system, Prime95 would run indefinitely. If an error occurs, at which point the stress test would terminate, this would indicate that the system may be unstable. There is an ongoing debate about terms "stable" and "Prime-stable", as Prime95 often fails before the system becomes unstable or crashes in any other application. This is because Prime95 is designed to subject the CPU to an incredibly intense workload, and to halt when it encounters even one minor error, whereas most normal applications do not stress the CPU anywhere near as much, and will continue to operate unless they encounter a fatal error"

EDIT: There is a tool for this here
[Android Apps and Games] Hzu:
I bet this wont be good since it will most likely explode the device, or won't even run.

But if anyone can port it for ARM architecture, that'd be great since I'd love to see how far it can run on this X10.
[Android Apps and Games] schriss:
No reason for this, it works just like any simple CPU benchmark, but at least calculates something useful.
[Android Apps and Games] Hzu:
Yeah, I know. But I tried on my PC and it don't run, my PC had a hard hang. Haha, I'm scared of this tool. :p
[Android Apps and Games] schriss:
That's exactly why it is useful. PC or phone might be stable when idling but when loaded you might get problems.

Strange that your PC locked up, its some serious issue there, more like hardware related, possibly a bios setting.

I could run Prime95 for a day long and all I get is high CPU temp, but system should be able to handle constant load (just like playing a game for hours)
[Android Apps and Games] Hzu:
Well, I haven't tried after changing my hardwares yet. I wonder how much battery it will use.
[Android Apps and Games] aaronpoweruser:
if u really see a use for it i can make a quick version but unless its done in native code i doubt it would be a good metric to compare phones and its only single threaded, it also wouldnt be able to notify u if your voltage was to low ur phone would just hard lock
[Android Apps and Games] schriss:
Wouldn't it know that returned number is wrong thus voltage to low? This should happen if you do not push it too much, people report that when lowering voltage slowly, the phone slows downs as CPU is handling errors. The app would detect this stage. Only when lowering voltage too much you get lockup. 1 thread would be useful because cores need to be tested independently, if you could specify core to run on, it would be ultimate stability test tool.
[Android Apps and Games] dateno1:

just need to set governor to performance

Works good all apps like icq, skype and etc., but don't worked ANY WEB browser. Internal, Opera, Firefox and etc. Turn on WiFi - and all perfect again. But you now it is not good variant.

So ... it problem appear only on AR HD 3.6.8, on 3.6.7 all work fine. 4.x i am not tested early, but 4.1.8 have same problem.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
you need to talk to the computer system administrator to change router settings to allow the phones to contain to the router.

Policy comes from the router not the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el gaaly:
You mean the GSM provider or what becuase i use this with the 3G network
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
No, i am system admin at work as he controls access the router, at home you would have to adjust the settings on your router.

provider has nothing to do with using wifi or usb tethering as data comes through network settings on your phone which is not restricted.

what do you mean by router , as i am using GPRS from my network operator

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] komgrit:
I think, you may fix this problem already. But I will answer for someone else who may have the same problem.

"Security policy restricts use of internet sharing" error happens because you use Exchange Active Sync mailbox. The Exchange Active Sync will use and pull the Security Policies from your Microsoft Exchange Server. And on your Exchange Server has set some Client Access policy - Exchange Active Sync Mailbox Policies to block the internet sharing.

So, you have to ask your Exchange Admin to remove the block policies.

I can connect and pair my devices but i don't have to type in any passkey (even at first connection to this headset).

How can I change my headset passkey because I can't see this option in bluetooth settings (maybe there is an app for it) and i don't want other people to connect with my headset?

[Motorola Photon 4G] randomned:
Is there a known API or method of accessing phone side data from the webtop?

For example, while in webtop, new text messages are shown in a little pop-up. Obviously there is a way to get that data, but what if I would like to make an X app to read the text messages instead of using the mobile view (the UX for that isn't the best while in webtop mode).

Also, Firefox sends data back to the Webtop Connector when you close the webtop. Has anyone figured out how these things are accomplished, and if it's possible to use these methods?

I wanted to see if anyone else has done any exploration of this realm before I dive into it myself.
