Remove Sony quick settings in lock screen.

Hi,

I have searched around but nothing exactly answers my question. I have seen some threads where stock parts of the OS can be disabled using Root Explorer (or similar, I am just using this) but I'm scared of messing things up.

I'm trying to disable the Sony quick settings in the drop down notification area. I have always used power toggles, much more customisable and the long press to settings is invaluable.

It's just very clunky having both. I have tried lots of ROM's and Kernels, and now prefer to stick with .96 rooted, as it seems to be the fastest in my experience.

As I said, using .96 rooted, and unlocked bootloader, latest CWM installed, any tips? I'm not a dev or anything, but don't mind poking around.

I also need help with something else too,Is there any app to change default apps for files or certain actions,like default app chooser or something like that.

Thanks in advance.:good:

I have a question.

I'm using Sony Xperia ION, don't think that's relevant, but just to mention.

On stock ROM, and all stock base ROMs, including some other phone models, Arc S, One X, Sensation..., I always had one problem. In phone book, some contacts are missing. Even when checked "show all contacts" option. But in messaging, all contacts are there. Even those missing from phone book.

To get things more weird, on CyanogenMod based ROMs, and MIUI ROMs all contacts are there. In phone book, and in messaging.

How to figure out, what is the problem? Are CyanogenMod and MIUI ROMs reading phone book in some different manner then stock based ones?

Any idea how to fix that?

Thanks.

Hi! I have a little problem. I am trying to connect to 3g. My provider sent me a configuration message and now in my apn settings it appears broadband 3g. But the phone can't connect to internet. How can I solve it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
Try setting the apn manually.

Or connect manually to the network.

U will be able to access that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Drake97:
I tried but it didn't work...:(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
From settings go to xperia and download the settings again and save

u will be able to use 3g by this

Also from network operator selection select ur operator manually not automatically and see does that helps.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
Maybe its not reading sim contacts or hasn't synced your Google contacts. Try enabling contact sync from account settings :)

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

Are you sure you had a recovery installed before trying to access it? Looks like you've soft bricked your phone now. The jellybean firmware has a problem with cwm. Never install anything from the play store when it is related to modifying your phone system. There's a thread to recover soft bricks in the general section. Search for it, very helpful.

All the best :)

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

As you can see, clearly only for Acer iconia tab. Definitely bricked, but you can recover it, hopefully :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
try fixing permissions from cwm or rom manager

and see does it still persists or not?

also try reflashing the stock modem only..but try the above steps first pls

and post here
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] acasmc:
You honestly think I haven't think of that? Hehe

First, all of my contacts are on Google account, i have none on sim card.

Secondly, sync is enabled by default on Android, from very moment you boot the phone for the first time, and sign in with Google account.

I appreciate your help, but your suggestion is so banal, that it insults my intelligence.

What is insulting even more is the fact that you haven't even read my post carefully, before jumping to quick "quote them all for getting thanks" response...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
yes it can be recovered so don't worry.

plug in and press vol up at same time for fastboot mode and see does the pc detects it now or not..

also reinstall flashtool drivers for both fastboot and flashmode.

charge it for a while then

press power + vol up. till 3 vibes..

and see does it boots or not.

and recovery doesn't install like that.. it's off as the recovery is not for the device...

plug in pc and see does it charges and show the charging icon or not.

Also plug in usb and keep the vol down key pressed for a couple of mins.

Do these and post
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
Listen up buddy, I was just trying to help you with your problem. I may not be a pro, but I understand that even the most seasoned android user can make mistakes. FYI, I did read your post carefully, and couldn't really figure out what could be going wrong. I suggested a problem with sync, because sometimes if I get a call from someone who I'm friends with on Facebook, but who's number I haven't saved on my phone, his name still pops up. In any case, if you're really going to be that sensitive and base your self worth on what you perceive someone's opinion is of you, that's your choice. I would like to point out, that I don't fish for thanks. I try to help as many people out as possible, as I like to challenge myself and see if I'm learning more everyday. In any case, I genuinely hope your problem gets solved and that I get an opportunity to learn something new.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] elegantuser29:
still no response

Bro i have already tried all these combinations my phone is not reponding to anythin at all no charging is helping... computer is not detecting the device at all no vibes in the phone it is not rvrn going to fast boot mode...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
just let it charge for couple of long hours.. until light shows up and it will show the light..

I used to do it pretty easily on HTC Desire , but I've been having a lot of troubles even unlocking bootloader on Xperia S ( 64bit W7 and now 64bit 8.1 ) .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Windows 8 introduced a driver signature check. If the driver isn't on their database, they won't be installed. That's a safety thing Microsoft created to avoid problems. If you are sure that won't case cause you any problems (as in this case), you can disable that check. Just go into Windows 8 settings, choose Advanced Boot. Then, keep going into the advanced menus and choose 7 - Disable Signature driver Check (or smth like that). The computer will boot again.

Now keep going as the tutorials say...

When i manualy search for network, I can see my operator, but it says cannot sign into network.

Any ideas? Anyone?

You need to install a new kernel. That requires unlocking your bootloader...

Is that drain normal? 12-14% per hour.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Power Manager Service is what Extended Standby Mode or Power Saver App... It has to manage and record the usage of power or battery.. Its a key process and is always high, but consumes very less battery. Nothing to worry about that wakelock.. And a Wakelock is certain process that has to run every once in certain time it is programmed to.. Like wlan_wake.. wlan as we all know is Wifi.. This wakelock drains the battery more and more as Wifi is switched ON and if u r not connected to any Wifi n/w it keeps on searching every 1 minute.. Or the time difference occurs as per the ROM.. Some devs modify them, some keep it the way from Stock.. 12-14% an hour?? :eek: Try doing a fresh installation of whichever the ROM u r in.. And see.. ;)

I just gave an example about Extended Standby Mode.. Its a system process which manages the whole sync b/w Battery and rest of the H/W in order to use Power and make your phone work.. ;) And CM 10.1 has pretty bad battery backup and not comparable with latest Stock JB .96's battery backup..

Okay I have run into a new issue. For some reason my Ion has decided to not like Sd cards now. Did a bit of looking around and noticed allot of newer Sony devices share this issue. It does not actually kill the card but dismounts it and will not read it again. Put the card in my old incredible and it was fine. So I am wondering if its a software problem seeing as I have so much stuff from newer devices. The Z, ZL, and the T line seem the most effected. There are others though and I am curios to see if any one knows a fix.

The only other thing I can think of is when I supercharged if the sd tweaks may have caused this??
