[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] raginginferno:
So I've been trying to figure out how to get my Acro S hooked up to a PS3 controller by a wire instead of using the Sixaxis Controller App. Wanted to try to avoid bluetooth because of battery life. But if you try to OTG cable the PS3 controller, the Xperia S/Acro S/Ion will spit out the error of "USB power consumption error". Basically our Micro USB port doesn't output enough power for the PS3 controller (yet a Galaxy S II does it just fine :eek:)

So then I discovered this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1822653

Charging an Xperia and using OTG at the same time. Got me thinking. I can charge the phone while gaming and provide enough power to use the PS3 controller. All I really need is one of those USB battery packs and I can make this portable! No need for a dock. This is perfect. Gaming on the phone just burns away battery life. This would kill two birds with one stone.

So I ordered a few things online and I made the proper cable needed with the info from the thread above. Got a bunch of stuff of ebay, cut it up, solder it together and threw in some heat shrink.

Plugged the phone, USB battery pack and PS3 controller together... WTF?! Same error. Why won't it draw power from the USB battery pack. Eventually I figured it out. Went back online and ordered some more stuff. What I need to do is to take my custom cable and plug the Mini USB side into a USB Hub instead. That way the USB Hub will draw power from the USB battery pack and still charge the phone. And now that the USB Hub has plenty of power, it can now power the PS3 just fine.

So with a few extra parts I am able to make a mobile gaming dock for my Xperia Acro S. Without realizing it, by adding a USB Hub to this combo I can now how extra storage space by plugging in a USB flash drive. I could even watch more movies and watch them long due to the extended battery life.

Parts list:

- PS3 Controller

- GameKlip, for mounting the phone on the PS3 controller

http://buy.thegameklip.com/

- A basic case for your phone. Needed for mounting on the GameKlip. Just a simple backing case from ebay will do.

- Any USB battery pack, the one I am using is Maxpower E500i

http://www.maxpower.us.com/collecti...axpower-e500i-premium-v3-1-power-bank-5000mah

- A small USB hub, grab mine off ebay. Made sure mine had a Mini USB input.

http://www.amazon.com/Self-Power-Port-Black-Laptop/dp/B006Z9ULUY

- Easy to assemble usb connectors. Just ebay "diy USB" and you will know what I mean.

- USB to Mini USB & Micro USB cable. Ebay this as well. Only issue is the Mini USB only has the power wires. Lucky I ordered a bunch of them and cut up the cables I needed... or you could probably just buy the right kind of cables :P

- 100K Ohm resister. I just went to a local electronics shop.

- Some heavy duty double sided mounting tape

If your wondering, the weight comes in at 527g with my Acro S... a bit heavy but hey still works!

Thanks for reading!

Thanks for the compliments! :)

My previous phone was the Xperia Play and I really miss the physical buttons on the phone, so when I saw the gameklip and when they finally provided a more universal solution it was a no brainier to buy it. I don't game too much but when I do, I have to do it right! Don't think I would bother trying to sell it. It's really annoying working with such tiny wires when trying to solder everything together. Too much work for something so simple.

I will probably change it a bit later. Maybe buy an extra battery pack (since I only have one and use it for many things) and have it dedicated. Also I was double sided mounting tape was just to quickly slap it together to see what it looks like. I think I will switch it to industrial velcro. That stuff has super sticky tape side. And it would be easier to separate the battery pack when charging or to remove half of the weight from the PS3 controller (and put it down on a table or in your pocket/bag).

johnnybalboa if you ever get it working with your AR drone, post it and show us your results!

[One (M7) General] desiregeek:
The new HTC One is on sale now in Taiwan but with no 4G or LTE option. They really screwed their own people over by being so stingy and just offering a 3G Model only here in Taiwan. Currently I also only see a 16GB or 32GB Version with no 64GB Version. Imagine Apple modifying their iPhone 5 and sending Taiwan consumers the iPhone 5 with just 3G and 4G option inside their top of the line smartphone. HTC CEO should resign and HTC needs someone with a better brain to take over his position.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
How sure are you there? Does the sim inserted in that handset do really have LTE coverage? I saw one post on the UK thread talking about the LTE option not showing up when the sim/network that the phone is using doesn't have LTE support.

One user there tried swapping a non LTE network sim & a LTE network sim then the LTE option shows up and dissappears when he used the non LTE network sim.
[One (M7) General] desiregeek:
That is how it is on the iPhone 5 because with the iPhone 5 it comes with 4G/LTE Chipset where here they apparently took that option out and only supplied thier smartphones with a 3G chipset.

Check this link out and scroll down to see specs. list.

[One (M7) General] x92:
How's the 4G/LTE coverage in Taiwan?
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
I was the poster who has no LTE options in my menus (on Three UK). I couldn't see any post from another user who tried swapping SIMs and the options show/disappear. Do you have a link? I hope I haven't been given a non-LTE handset!
[One (M7) General] patato2:
None. basically it's the government screwed ourselves and all our ISP feel like earning more bucks by merely 3G.

BTW, hTC one 16G is only released in Taiwan.
[One (M7) General] wilsontree:
BTW, hTC one 64G is available in retail channel in Taiwan but not pre-order from carriers. ;)
[One (M7) General] x92:
I see.. then there's no point to get LTE version now. The LTE version is more future proof but new flagship come out every year. LTE version might also consume more battery and reserve more RAM for the network.
[One (M7) General] patato2:
in a second, I found myself just can't disagree with THIS part. HTC got great designers/engineer but they got a xxxx CEO. Chow said he would step down if new ONE fails. That's so appealing that I almost want to NOT buy this phone. Well, almost.:D
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
I remember you :p but i was talking about another user. He was using the phone with his old sim that has no lte but when he inserted his not yet activated 3sim the option showed up.
[One (M7) General] desiregeek:
They still only have 3G here because they are so freakin stingy and cheap. When Nokia and Sony/Ericsson offered to help Taiwan install their new 4G/LTE network Taiwan refused to save money and wanted to give their people the old system reserved currently for their military/army. No wonder Taiwan is lagging in Asia these days because many of these locals are so stingy to spend and look for more ways to save and cut and instead of spending and improving. Taiwan should have had 4G/LTE service long ago but "No,because no one wanted to spend and waste money on faster speeds" :rolleyes:

The Koreans (South Korea) that is and Japanese always make the best and release the best in their markets first where Taiwan is probably the last to sell the best to their own people.

I mean what is the actual difference in cost between then 3G and 4G chipset?? They got a whole production line running here in manufacturing.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Im not sure but here in our country we get like everything thats available we have gsm, edge, cdma, wimax, hspa, hspa+, lte so I don't think its too expensive to think that your country is alot more progressive than ours.
[One (M7) General] Tamaskan:
I think 4G might be more expensive, here in Australia, 4G models are slightly more expensive compared to 3G.
[One (M7) General] townay:
Taiwan does not have 4g/lte network afaik.

There is a 64g version, only from vibo Telco
[One (M7) General] nahojnahoj:
taiwan have wimax, lte are expected after 2015 (info from the news).
[One (M7) General] SuperangelMe:
Relax!

For those who care, this is worth repeating.

There were originally two competing 4G standards: LTE and WiMax. The Taiwanese government worked with Intel on WiMax (which has been rolled out in certain areas), but eventually LTE become more widely adopted in the global marketplace. Now Taiwan is catching up a little, but aims to auction off its 4G LTE licenses this year, with services eventually coming a year or two later.

As for the HTC One, there are already several variants for different markets (i.e. with different LTE bands). If a market doesn't have LTE, then it might make sense to choose a cheaper 3.5G baseband chip instead (although I don't know if this is the case with Taiwan's model; after all the Nexus 4 had some form of hidden LTE support).

Anyway, it's clearly stated on HTC's Taiwan website, so no-one's being deceptive. If LTE is important (i.e. if you want to roam when traveling abroad), then buy from somewhere like Clove or Handtec that ship to Taiwan (it actually works out slightly cheaper than buying locally).
[One (M7) General] desiregeek:
One of the more reasons people go to Hong Kong to shop instead of Taiwan. For every minus that their smartphones have in Taiwan it gives their competitor an edge in sales. Taiwan does get some tourists from China and other countries. In Korea and Japan they offer the best of the products in their own countries to their own people. HTC exports the better items and offers the smartphones with less features to their own people in their own country so they lose out to to their own customers from their own country and from tourist or visitors from abroad as well because instead of buying smartphones in Taiwan they will buy them in Hong Kong or Singapore where they do come with 4G or LTE.

I do like the HTC ONE but this was a very stupid marketing mistake on behalf of HTC Taiwan to sell the local version without 4G/LTE in their high end smartphone model.
[One (M7) General] drspikes:
I'd be really if it is not LTE capable as this is an innate part of the Quellcom chipset. Without an LTE sim, you simply don't get the menu option but it is still possible with the right sim card.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 doesn't have network modem integrated to it so HTC One is using a different chipset for networking radios.
[One (M7) General] desiregeek:
Either that or one got one that just comes with 3G and no 4G or LTE like the ones being sold in Taiwan.

hi everyone!

just notice that day to day i found it hard to push the unlock button on the right top of my phone, need a couple tries of push untill i can unlock my device,

seems like from day to day that small tiny ass button is gettting drown,

did anyone experiencing the same problem that i'm facing with xperia j?

is there any suggestion to unlock device without using button?

i have tried some application like shake to unlock etc. but they're drain battery insanely:rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Dragoboss:
I don't think theres a other way to unlock honestly...

I DO know theres a way to remap the buttons, so that you would (as example) be able to use the volume buttons for unlocking the screen. But I would have no idea how it actually works, too long ago since I saw it somewhere...

But about your power/unlock button, did it function normally before, or has it been bad since you got the phone?

Maybe there's some dirt or something in the button blocking it partly?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] layup23:
cysici cell

I have the same problem with the power button. It's not your fault, it's just the wrong way the button was made.

I use 2 apps to lock/unlock my phone by shake( and you can also unlock by hand gestures over the sensor- next to the front camera). You can try ShakeMe and you can also try to use Advanced Screen Control. Just install these 2 apps and play with the sensitivity and you'll find the perfect fit.

These 2 apps seem to be the best out of the bunch that you can find on the Play store.

Tell me if they work!

If you root, go to /System/Usr/Keylayout/

Edit Generic.kl file.

Adding 'WAKE' after Volume down and up.

Then go to setting>security>screen lock to none

Maybe some other expert member can figure out how to make this working when enable screen lock.

Sorry my english.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] arguson:
You can have screen lock on and use volume down to unlock:

- With a root access file manager like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer go to /system/usr/keylayout

- Open in text editor file fih_gpio-keys.kl

- Look for key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE

- Replace the "VOLUME_DOWN" with "POWER".

- Save and reboot.

This essentially maps your volume down key as a power button. If you need to reduce the volume push volume up then use the on screen slider to set volume
