Hello All,

I am working on a project that requires creating a background service that will monitor other application and track their usage of the device's sensors (may be other resources as well). For example, if some social networking app (e.g. PsychoStalker) used the GPS during say at 4:06:23 PM. I would like the background and the data returned were say 1234567 service to log something like ....

16:06:23 PsychoStalker SENSOR_GPS 1234567

Loggin the data is not that important, but good to have it.

The background service will monitor all applications in the phone not only a specific application (PsychoStalker above). But will log readings for several sensors of my choice say (accelerometer, GPS, and ambient light sensors).

So, that is info. The question is: How can create such service that can track other applications's sensor usage? Any API? Any command?

Thanks.

Hello All,

I really would like too get an answer....any help? :confused:

Hello all,

This evening I was playing on my SXS until the yellow tint started to annoy me. I started pressing the screen on the visible areas and noticed that they are fading away. I kept pressing the screen and now the yellow tint is gone in all areas. I even asked other other people and they said the tint is gone. Now let's wait and see if it will return.

P.S. Don't press too hard or you'll break your screen
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dibdin:
When I tried this originally it soon came back. Pressing the screen will not solve issue!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LahiruRD:
This solution has been already posted by someone here.

It goes away & then it comes back...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XeqtR0:
Thanks for the replys. I didn't see the solution here. I'll keep repeating the procedure a couple of times and see what happens.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LahiruRD:
Just a question (off topic), I remember a guy named XeqtR from the team -GFE- who plays Crysis (a long time ago). Wonder if that's you.

Regarding the other post, I guess it was deleted by an Admin
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
pressing didn't help. my tint eventually became permanent and pressing didn't take it away anymore.

Try and figure out a better solution.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XeqtR0:
I'm not that XeqtR :-). Until now there is no tint. I'll keep updating the thread. I know it's a long shot but there is nothing else I could do...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XeqtR0:
The tint came back... The screen hasn't been on more than 2 hours since and it is the same. I'll try to get it replaced...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] awf:
The only fix is replacement and confirmed by Sony itself, I'm on my second brand new phone and happy now :D

Yeah I saw those but I am wanting to add the phone app to my navbar and the default icon sticks out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
Issue for me is car bluetooth, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting like every minute, the whole thing just does not work properly.

BUT SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR ANY ROM< I MEAN ANY.

Just plug your phone to a charger in the car and thats it. it prevents deep sleep and it will not drain you battery as it's charging.

!!!Suggestion, if you have a usb slot in the car, use it to charge the phone, as cigarette lighter charger most likely will create a wake lock that will prevent your phone going to DP after you exit the car.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
I appreciate all your efforts.

I'm one of those with bluetooth issues only on UCLD2 when connecting to my JVC car stereo to play Pandora or other Internet radio. I have not tested or used MP3 stuff.

I tried Mohans ROM, then update, then the beats audio, then the UCALC4 kernel. All in that order, testing each time. None worked for me.

Thanks though :)

I've also tried the bluetooth fixes 1 & 2 from Seanz's ROM from last week. Have not tried the 10 version yet. But some others are saying it didn't resolve this particular issue either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JERM^:
Tried the update 10. not working for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
I got it to work and then it stooped again, then got it to work again so it seems to be ok right now.

I will post more detailed instructions in about an hour please check back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
Yep, U10 does not work on my phone. I just don't want to take away anything from Sean as he does great work, so can't say 100% it does not work, it just does not for me in this case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpolansky:
I believe you are correct on the culprit being the music player.

I have been on Sean's Roms (update 9 for a few weeks and then upgraded to 10 whenever it came out). I stream to a Ford Sync system (2010) and I have not had any problems. 10, in particular, seems great. I use the phone handsfree via bt and stream music (Slacker radio) to and fro work. Also been using btooth inside the house to stream Slacker to a speaker system. No problems there either. But I have NOT used the music player app at all...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
See I am scared to think it's FORD soft. that is the problem, as that would be so much harder to fix, they just came up with an update and new one is not coming. And it worked on Sean's ROM up until Update 7, which base of his are you using the GMAIL/no limit or exchange server one?

Also it has something to do with Music Player or files on the Leak, as sometimes it messes with USB input music and cant read the USB, and I disconnect the phone ant USB starts working.

Have you received a USB from FORD recently to update the software?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
I also found this:

Interesting Find:

http://www.nsapp.fordtechservice.dea...N_iop_2_00.pdf

It supports KJ2, so maybe ICS is a problem(( But at the same time it supports ICS on other devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpolansky:
I think the usb update mailed for Ford is for later models (or mine hasn't arrived yet). For the 2010 there was only one update showing (Sync My Ride) and it was already installed when I purchased the truck.

No question the Ford Sync is "twitchy". My former phone (Atrix) would disconnect the btooth intermittently when streaming Slacker and would skip, often. I haven not (knock on wood) had these problems and I use the steering wheel control to skip songs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
yea my Edge is 2011, I got the update like a month ago, but everything was working fine.

Well I hope it's the leak issue, or I'll have to go back to GB, or run a Sean's older ICS with no deep sleep, can;t not have phone in the car and have music mess up my USB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Since EMBRYO was mentioned. Anyways, I can only comment on FORD Sync (since the other one drives the edge). Make sure you have the latest Sync Update that rolled out couple of months ago (I believe it is v 3.2.2, I will have to double check). I have had zero issues, connecting with BT as fars as voice calling goes (of course on EMBRYO 2.3), but then I don't use the Car daily. With Embryo 2.3, you should be able to send text message not that useful unless you use the prebuilt templates, that comes with the UCLD2 base. I am looking into what it takes to get full MAP support in the next update, no promises, I need time. Also, I have not streamed music through so can't say. Also, the device recognizes PAN BT tethering, but the sync craps out, I am suspecting it is SYNC issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
Wow, much appreciated mohan, I do drive the Ford Edge it has SYNC on it, they call it My Touch or something. Is that different then in your car? I did get the update on USB and it's installed, not sure which version. I am making an appointment for the dealer to reinstall it as well. I found a Sync PDF

The problem is when I connect to it, the BT Stereo has issue it does not work or if it works usb does not work, then pretty much the phone disconnects and connect all the time, every like 1-2 min.

I would defiantly flash your ROM right now would you recommend UCLD2 or the other Kernel for this? no matter what files I delete in root or how I rename the phone, BT Stereo still connect to the name of the phone I had a while back. How can I just format everything and do a fresh install of your ROM, I mean like everything? or that would mass it up?

I am even willing to go to Stock GB tar and then root and do everything again.

I found this PDF, Ford Sync only supports KJ2 on skyrocket, have no idea what that means:)

http://www.nsapp.fordtechservice.dealerconnection.com/sync/usEN/sync_us_EN_iop_2_00.pdf

Also, I hope I did not do anything wrong here or offender anyone by Mentioning Embryo as a possible fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Yes, it is called MyTouch.

The problem is when I connect to it, the BT Stereo has issue it does not work or if it works usb does not work, then pretty much the phone disconnects and connect all the time, every like 1-2 min.

See the ROM post #3 (question 1) for a fresh flash. I would highly recommend it, whichever ICS ROM you flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
Possibly, but not for everyone.

In my case, I can feel the phone crashing DURING the initial bluetooth connection to my car stereo. The phone actually vibrates a few times while I'm setting up the pair connection.

But it stays connected until I start up iHeart Radio or Pandora or any other Internet Radio.

I don't use Music Player for anything and have never tested it either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] milespordeo:
I'm having a similar problem connecting my phone's Bluetooth to my JVC stereo. When I turn on bluetooth, the phone is fine, but once I pair it (media and phone), it vibrates, works for about 10-15 seconds, then restarts the bluetooth. When it restarts, it is not paired by default, but if I re-pair only the media to the JVC, it works perfectly. It seems to be a problem with using bluetooth for the phone.

I've been using Sky ICS (through update 10), and none of the fixes posted before have worked (including freezing the stock music app). And for the record, Embryo 2.3 has the exact same problem with my handset and stereo.

EDIT: Correction above. I was able to get media to work once using the method described above, but I was not able to repeat this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] milespordeo:
I can confirm that Sky ICS UCLC4 4.2-A-9 solves all of the Bluetooth problems that I have been having with both phone and media pairing to my JVC stereo. Note that this is the outdated UCLC4 ROM. I haven't found any UCLD2 ROMs that fix the BT issues for me yet, but I hope one of them does soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
yep, that's the case the first leak is ok, but it has it's own problems.

This thread specified only Second Leak.

It's been confirmed that if you follow mohan's instructions to do a fresh install in Embryo 2.3 and I mean oneclick and the rest, everything will work great on UCLD2. I have not done it yet myself, no time, but soon hopefully today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
IT"S A BUG on all three leaks.

You may not experience it at all, it ma only happen once in a while, or every minute, it can fix itself for some time.

Nothing is possible, just need to hope Rogers Official Release will work. (when it comes out)

Lucky, that did not do it for me.

But I've been working on this issue for a long time now and I have it fixed. Been testing it for 4 days now, no issues, I will update the OP on Monday.

My issue is with Ford My Touch. It's pretty much disconnection/reconnection of phone.

I'm using a Pioneer AppRadio2 in my car and I'm running into a minor but annoying Bluetooth issue. Every time I start the car the AppRadio2 pairs and then disconnects, and then pairs again but then I have to approve the connection through the phone or it will disconnect again.

The biggest problem with this is that the AppRadio2 is next to useless without being paired to the phone. It has a radio feature, but nothing else. All of it's functions are actually apps on the phone.

I'm hoping that your bluetooth solution will fix my issue as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
Unfortunately what ever I did only worked for 4 days and then still issues came back. I am gonna wait for official Rogers Release and see what's up.

I have a brand new Focus 2012 and with Sean ROM I had the conenct/disconnect problem, tried a lot of version and same problem. I restored my phone to stock ROM and never had the problem again, so it is related to ICS leak. I hope Rogers wakes up and get ICS out. I love ICS but I need my phone link with my car so for now I have to live with stock ROM :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
I have a Pioneer head unit and the only BT issue I have is occasionally it doesn't auto connect so I have to do it manually. I have never had it disconnect after a successful connection. This is on CM9 ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slam666:
Bad news people, even with the brand new stock ROM (4.04) from Rogers I still have the connect/disconnect problem :(

Dont know if its a problem with ICS or Ford Sync but it is working fine with Android 2.3, so I dont know what changed in ICS but it is not working with any leak or even the stock ICS ROM.

Going back to 2.3 until it is fix, need my phone in my car.

I have installed the Rogers update (I'm on Rogers) and I'm still having random disconnects when on Bluetooth. I had no issues on stock gingerbread, and on Superlite 5.1 (Radio UCLAC4). Any other ICS radio, including the stock radio cause disconnects. Anyone else with the same issue?

My bluetooth handset is in my VW.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TLS2000:
I've had Bluetooth issues with every ROM other than the stock Gingerbread Rogers ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slam666:
So the bluetooth problem is related to the radio?

Can we use new ROM from Rogers but with older radio? Like Radio UCLAC4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TLS2000:
It's rom related. When I was on Gingerbread everything worked. On any ICS rom with any radio I have issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
I've had zero issues with Bluetooth in my car on any of the ics leaks or any ics roms I've used (which is most of them). I had a ton of problems with the early gingerbread roms, which is different from what so many here are saying, so I don't think it's an ics vs gingerbread problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NewCappy:
So on the way to work this morning I tried leaving Use for phone audio enabled and disabling Media (Use for media Audio). With Media turned off it stayed connected my whole 1 hour commute. I will try it again with no Media on the way home and let you all know if it worked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TLS2000:
It is in fact an ICS vs. Gingerbread problem. I can use Gingerbread with my car stereo no problem, but as soon as there's an ICS ROM on it I have to approve the connection every single time I start the car. I don't really want to sit there for 20 seconds waiting for the phone to prompt me with a PIN number that the car stereo isn't even displaying. This didn't occur in Gingerbread. Again, it didn't matter which radio file I had installed. It happened with the stock Rogers radio from 2.3.5 (UXKJ3?) and happens with all of the ICS radios as well. If I had the ROM running Gingerbread there wasn't any issues with it connecting.

A search for Bluetooth PIN ICS on google pulled up a bug about it.

What I'd really like to do is figure out a way of installing the gingerbread Bluetooth stack on ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phil9000:
I upgraded today my phone with the official Rogers ICS update and I am now getting regular connect/disconnect issues with my cars BT systems.

Both cars are Mercedes but very different in car software.

BTW, neither of these cars have BT media interfaces, they only operate BT phone functions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
I'm not saying there isn't a bug for some users. My point was that gingerbread roms have bugs too, and I don't see a higher number of reports for bt issues on ics any more than gb.

I'd say you should try some more roms until you find one that works for you. Sky ics might work, seanzscreams devs the sh#t out of his builds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TLS2000:
It's an ICS bug man. I've tried skyics and cm9. I I'm not saying that gingerbread didn't have issues. I'm saying something got broken further with ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TLS2000:
Cm9 works fine with the Rogers radio, but doesn't seem to support mhl which is the last piece I need for my car solution. I'm going to try to move the cm9 Bluetooth stack over to skyics to see if I can make everything work the way i need it to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slam666:

Install Cymbaline Kernel, this solved my problem of disconnect/connect

I am using Sean latest ROM. When I installed the ROM I still had problem but then I flash the Kernel and boom, everything work fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
How long have you been using it? It usually works for 4 days for me and then starts again.

I am using Odex version of Rogers Official ROM, just removed bloat myself, it's been 5 days now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phil9000:
Firstly, please note that I'm not an expert on any of this but the following observations are based on what I can deduce from other posts.

1. I take it that Cymbaline Kernel is mostly installed by users who want to overclock their phone.

2. As with any type of overclocking, this is achieved by altering the voltage parameters of the device which I understand the Cymbaline Kernel does.

Assuming that the Cymbaline Kernel does fix the Bluetooth connectivity problem, is it possible that the bluetooth disconnection is caused by a voltage variation which causes the bluetooth radio to reset?

Just my 2¢
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slam666:
I have been using it for just 1 day but for me the problem occur in the first 5 minutes every time. Tried a lot of ICS ROM, leak and official and I always had that problem. But so far I didnt get ant single disconnect while in my car, and I drove for 30 minutes this morning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
Maybe:)

I also been working on this and researching, and the best I ever got out of it was 4 days.

Lets see what happens, I am very optimistic that Stock Odex Rogers ROM is good, been working fine. It can be debloated and battery is good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slam666:
I didnt change anything related to overclocking or voltage etc. The main reason I tried Mohan Kernel is he post that he had no problem with his bluetooth and he is driving a Ford Edge with MyFordTouch.

So I dont know what he modified in his kernel but it does the trick ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
It happened to me like that too, but sometime it works for a long time, sometimes it works for many hours and disconnects once, sometime re-pairing fixes it.

Maybe your problem is not exactly like mine since it is working for you for 4 days. My problem occur within 5 minutes every time and keep happening every few minutes after that. I even tried in another brand new car and the same problem was there.

Can we flash Mohan's kernel on stock Rogers' ICS?

The reason I ask:

I know it's 4.0.4 and that he states that it can be flashed on stock 4.0.x (Quote: "BASICALLY ANY ROM THAT IS BASED OFF UCALC4, UCLD2 , UCLE2, UCLF5") but it seems to me that everyone who uses it is running Sky ICS.

Which radio runs on the stock Rogers' ICS upgrade?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
yea you can flash any ICS that uses touchwiz.

Radio, depends on which rom and which radio(who made it)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phil9000:
I flashed Mohan's Kernel 1.4

I tested the Bluetooth connection for 10 minutes and it remained paired during all of that time which is a definite improvement. Please note that I did need to manually initiate the pairing: the car's phone system did not automatically connect with the phone.

So, if anyone wants to know, the results are promising but still preliminary. I will update upon further testing.

Also note that my Bluetooth car system does not allow media playback such as you can get with Ford automobiles.

**Update**

Drove the car for approximately 90 mins and Bluetooth remained connected throughout without any human intervention. Following installation of Mohan's Kernel I have noticed a very slight sensitivity issue with touch screen. I will flash version 1.5 once it clears beta.
