Lol, i set everything to one, now its even brighter :D:D:D

Edit: Actually, setting "max_current 1" in the hw_config.sh does nothing, on my side it just set the brightness to max. Although what i did was: On one of the last lanes i changed

echo 450 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current

to

echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current

without adding anything after max_current (i think adding anything is redundant anyways).

I think this forces brightness level 1 on the leds.. Working for now :) (also works after reboot!)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] SquallDNA:
reverts back on reboot. neo v. script didnt work as well!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jerluen:
works awesome on arc!

what I did was:

go to "/sys/class/leds/button-backlight"

change "brightness" to 1

change "max_current" to 1

then go to "/system/etc/"

change the hw_config echo line near the bottom that contains "max_current" to 1!

fine thats stands also in the OP ;)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Ubichinon:
AW: [Hack/Mod] Save Battery with Disabling Button Backlight on Xperia arc & other Pho

It only says to change the max_current, but that does nothing. One has to change the echo command, cauase that forces the brightness back to max

You need to change this: echo 450 > $dev/button-backlight/max_curren

To echo 1 ;)

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Ubichinon:
In hw_config echo (the same file described in the first post)

change one of the bottom lanes that says:

echo 450 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current

to

echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current

and do all the other described steps aswell and it will work ;)

I have Xperia Neo with Cyanogenmod 9.1 and after reboot my button lights are ON. I use ES File Explorer and I set:

Go to folder /sys/class/leds/button-backlight

Set brightness file value to 0 and

Set max_current file value to 1

But after reboot this values resets to defaults...and of course I hit "save" :)

Any help?

Soft Buttons Light

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...esult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tZWNvLnNibCJdView attachment 2060995

for all xperia 2011

"Soft Buttons Light" is a simple application born for all those devices running custom roms with soft buttons lighting problems but it can be used also on stock roms because NO ROOT access is required. It basically keeps buttons backlight always on, as long as the screen is on. It starts on boot and runs a pseudopersistent lightweight process (if your're using a task killer, whitelist it for a better performance). It's free and ads-free.

I debranded my Xperia S about 6 weeks ago to fix the GPS problem, fed up withwaitin for Orange to do the update. Orange is now on version .75 and I'm still on .67... Does anyone have the Orange firmware so I can rebrand my phone... I can find T-Mobile NL but no Orange (UK)

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Why do you care about rebranding now? Orange bloat? Flash TW .76, remove the bloatware, enjoy.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ratedr75:
Maybe he wants it incase it has to go back to Orange UK?

Maybe he isn't sure if putting the Taiwanese firmware on there will let some of his apps (Banking etc) work?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] barnesin:
Many thanks for both your replies.

Here is my reasoning:

The auto update facility doesn't work with .67 and I don't want to keep checking for flash updates

When I have previously updated its taken half a day to get my setting back to how I like it.

If I need to return the handset to Orange wouldn't an incorrect firmware invalidate my warranty

When I manually updated I assumed I'd be able to regress
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ratedr75:
No probs mate, many moons ago I used to work at the Darlington Orange office firstly on Handset Faults/Tec (A lot of them have no idea and follow a flow chart on their screens!) then moved onto Handset Insurance & Fraud Investigation. So I had a fairly good clue as to why you would want the original firmware.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] barnesin:
Bit the bullet and upgraded to firmware to .73 (Swedish) it is now auto updating to.75 ... and it didn't loose my settings... must have been something wrong with the .67 firmware I used.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] indy.89:
I need this firmware too (Orange UK) as I need to send my phone back to Orange for warranty reasons. Any way I can change my firmware back to Orange from UK Generic?

The only way I can think of is;

1. Unlock Bootloader

2. Flash another firmware region with a rooted system.img

3. Change the customisation number in build.prop to the Orange UK one.

4. Re-lock bootloader

5. Flash with PCC hoping that it will recognise my device as Orange Uk

Would this work?
[Nokia Lumia 900] redwhiteandblue:
Had my 900 about a week now, and in the first few days the battery life was looking good, lasting nearly two days with lots of texts, emailing, a few pictures taken and lots of talk time.

Then a couple of days ago it suddenly got worse. Started losing about 4% per hour. I charged it fully last night and then this morning nine hours later there was only 60% remaining.

I decided to try and find out what was happening. Found the diagnostics app and the battery drain was showing around 164mA. I don't have anything running that could be using so much power, so I wondered if I was suddenly getting a poor 3G signal and the phone was using a lot of power trying to receive it. So I put it into flight mode. Still around 164mA.

Finally I powered the phone off and then back on. Now it srttled down to around 95mA.

So what was running that was using so much power, that got switched off when the phone powered off? Could it be the GPS? I did fire up Nokia Drive and Nokia Maps the other day to play around with them. Could it be that the phone forgets to turn the GPS off when the apps that use it aren't running?
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Not sure forgets is the right answer, but you may want to look at the Background tasks and see what is running when it shouldn't.

I know when I add a new app or 2...sometimes I get myself in a position where the battery drain becomes excessive. I usually just unistall the app. You've probably read a few of the battery threads here. If not, take a look. Lots of good conversation about ...well....lots of things....

For me, the biggest drain is Wordament....and its ads....I'll wipe out my battery in an hour playing that thing....
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
Just finished a series of tests for Background Tasks in my L900 (full article on Mobility Digest). 8 Background Tasks running burns 0.5% per hour, or 8% in a 16 hour day. Tasks included: USA Today, Fox News, Weather Channel, Urban Dictionary, Mehdoh, Network Dashboard, Clever-To-Do and Battery Meter (homebrew app that actually runs every 10 minutes vs. 30 minutes, or longer).

Except for short spikes, my phone always hovers in the 95 to 125 mA range. Data signal is still the biggest battery demon while phone is asleep. Screen while phone is awake.

[Nokia Lumia 900] redwhiteandblue:
Overnight my phone seems to have used less than 1% per hour, that's with wifi on but not connected to any network. Perhaps I'll see what it does with wifi off.

I'd still like to know what it was that was draining the battery until yesterday when I power cycled it. I only had the App highlighter app and the Weather Channel app running in background, and I've since disabled the App Highlighter. But they weren't using 4% of the juice per hour. I didn't have bluetooth on.

I guess if anyone is seeing a high battery drain the simple answer is to try power cycling your phone first and see if that stops it.
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
Cool! I'd love to see a wifi vs cellular data battery benchmark.
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
Well that would be hard for background activities as WiFi goes to sleep at power off.

I did try to use LTE only for a couple days, but AT&T did not start reporting my daily data usage on my monthly anniversary data. I wanted to see how much data I was using over a typical week with LTE only. On can tell you in those two days, LTE was burning 20-30% (13% per hour on WiFi / 17-18% per hour over LTE) more power per hour when the screen was on and I was browsing or using Board Express. A more comprehensive teat will follow though.

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express Pro
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
The above somewhat proves how cellular data can often be a big battery drain comparable to abundant wifi at home or other common places. Looking forward to ur tests.
[Nokia Lumia 900] redwhiteandblue:
Well the battery drain problem came back yesterday.

The phone has done pretty well however, with very light use (one short call, a few texts, checking FB, checking the weather and not much else) the battery is at 24% after 48 hours. Overnight it went through about 8% in nine hours.

However, yesterday evening I noticed that the battery was losing 4% - 5% per hour again. By yesterday morning it was at 70% after 24 hours. After another 9 hours it was down to 43%. That's having made no calls, only a couple of texts, and very little else. At 9.30pm I checked the diagnostics app and battery drain was over 200mA. There was no obvious reason why it would be so high. So I powered the phone off and back on again, and sure enough, battery drain settled back down to between 90 and 110 mA, and as I said, overnight the battery lost less than 1% charge per hour.

The only background task I have enabled is the Weather Channel app. I'm going to let the battery run right down, recharge it, uninstall this app, and then see if I can repeat this pattern (if people will hold off from calling me!) If it's not this app then there must be something else, something in the firmware that goes haywire after a certain time and starts using lots of power.

I note that some people have observed that the battery starts to drain quicker after a while. I'd be interested to know if anyone can repeat the same pattern I'm seeing.

I'm running the MoDaCo Ir13 4.0.4 ROM.

I can't take screenshots the ICS way (power + volume) because the "Pictures" folder seems to be read only or locked.

With any file manager, i can't write to, delete from (the modaco images folder), or rename anything in that folder.

Is there any way to fix this without reflashing the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Some people have renamed that folder and created a new one called pictures, which will work as it should.

The problem is you still can't delete the old folder even though you can rename it.

I thought i tried renaming the MoDaCo folder inside the Pictures folder, and seem to remember it failing, but didn't think of renaming the original folder.

Hi all,

i rooted my sgs2 i9100 with the instructions from galaxys2root.com. I installed cwm through odin and then a cm9 nightly. Soon i noticed that i cannot send sms from cm9 and tried to reset everything back. Now windows no longer detects my phone at all, when i plug it in, i get a message that the device is not recognized, and it has malfunctioned. On linux i was able to see the device in download mode just fine and used heimdall to put in a stock kernel from a zImage. Now i have no warning triangle, but sms and windows usb connection still doesn't work. I've done full factory resets etc, currently i have the rom i backed up before inserting any custom roms, which i got through cwm restore.

What should i do? I've tried almost everything I can find with 2 days of googling and searching forums (different pcs, cleaning, usb debugging mode, pda/modem mode etc).

Edit: Ok SMS sending problem seems to be caused by the operator. I just tried my sim card in a different phone and I get similar errors and I am unable to send SMS. So ignore the SMS part, now the only problem is that I can't connect my phone through usb with windows and use odin etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahtikebab:
FIXED

Ok bois i finally got this stuff fixed. There's plenty of people with the same issue and lots of different replies. Frequently a tip came up with dialing *#7284# and switching the usb between modem and pda, leaving pda mode on. Well this wasn't quite enough. I did this, but finally got it working when i first put the usb to MODEM mode, then rebooted, then switched back to PDA mode, and voila it's working! So, in conclusion this fixed mine:

1. Dial *#7284#

2. Switch usb mode to MODEM

3. Reboot phone

4. Dial *#7284#

5. Switch usb mode to PDA

Hey guys!

I'm getting my SGS3 in 2days!

Can the people who have bought the phone please tell me for how long to put the phone through the initial charge? Is there any specific way/cycle to do it? Please let me know!

Thanks in advance!

Sorry if this has been posted before! I searched but didn't find any!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
You should do a google search. Anyway, there are many different opinions out there. From what I understand, the initial charge is less important than it used to be; current batteries do not have 'memory' effects. I still fully charge batteries first, but you could start using your device immediately, that shouldn't have any impact on battery life. As long as you never fully drain your battery! It's best to start charging again around 10%. But correct me if I'm wrong :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
All times are with the supplied wall charger:

Charging out of the box (came 50% charged) = about 2 hours

Charging from 0 to 100% = 5.5 hours

Whops.

I did totally wrong then.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Full charge takes about 2hrs 20mins and yeah it does have about 50% charge out the box, and what I always do with new phones is switch off and charge about 4hrs and give it another full charge when it's no lower than quarter full for the first 5 charges and it's around full capacity by then.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
I don't think it matters if you turn off your phone or not, charging will just take slightly longer.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonasDroid:
Guys please be carefull with what you post maybe do some research (not listed to anyone in particular). The Galaxy S3 uses a Lithium-ion battery. I have found a little atricle for you to read, Here is one simple quote:

Also you won't drain your battery till 0%(0V) because the phone will shut down and maintain a safe voltage. (Unless you keep reboot it after it has shut itself down)

0% indicator of your phone is not the actual 0V of the battery (Just to be clear)

I understand that Li-ion batteries don't have memory effect and don't need to be conditioned. The one question I have is about the so-called "calibration".

There's plenty of posts about the Liveview not working. May be useful to have a thread about when it works just fine. Did you do anything in particular to make it work? What device are you pairing with? Are you using any additional software other than the Liveview app?

I'm using an HTC Wildfire. I initially had problems. Eventually, after I disabled the plugins, it is now working fine with no connection issues. I'm mainly using it to control the stock media player and it is communicating just fine, displaying the title of the track, and I'm now very pleased with it, although disappointed that I can't use plugins. (When I had plugins it kept dropping the connection. Liveview charm would just lock up my phone's bluetooth after a while and I would need to pull the battery).
