[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Serede:
Hi, guys.

As you'll already know, Xperia Ion Stock ROMs have no auto-brightness toggle on settings, apparently. And even if you use a 3rd party app to fix the brightness at a value, it keeps blinking around that value according to light sensor.

Light sensor has always been told to be such a battery-drainer, so here's my doubt:

Would it be possible to create a mod, app, flashable ZIP or something to disable that auto brightness feature at all?

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vaith:
Lol? Light Sensor isn't battery drainer. You have wrong informations.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Serede:
Light sensor constantly reads an input, that obviusly uses a substantial amount of battery.

Anyway, is there any toggle solution?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
If you want to really disable it, try this -

0. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP (VERY IMP)

1. Use a root file manager and go to /system/etc

2. Open hw_config.sh

3. Search for this line - echo 1 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/enable

4. Change 1 to 0, then save and reboot

5. Hopefully it should disable als now.:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Serede:
Thanks for the method! But wouldn't that disable brightness at all? I want brightness on, but light sensor-based automatic brightness disabled.

Greetings.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
No no, you can adjust brightness in settings. It only disables the ALS sensor(Ambient Light Sensor). I have tested it myself.:)
[General Questions and Answers] Delunte:
Does anyone know of a way to write the IMEI to a Sierra Wireless MC7710 modem?

All the IMEI + QPST threads I have read begin with setting a modem in a phone to certain mode by dialling a special number with the phone's keypad. But the MC7710 is just a mini-PCIe modem. Right now, I have it connected via usb to a Windows VM but I need to get it into the correct mode before I can do the rest of the steps.

Thanks!

Hi

So i flashed Siyah 4.3.3 and then instaled avatar ROM which locked my phone.

Then i restored my backup and so that i go back to my previous Aberattion ROM

Now it still asked me for unliock code so i installed Galaxy S Unlock and Unlocked my phone with it.

But after i restarted my phone it liocked again

Please help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
Search the forums for galaxysim unlock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rushaan™:
Did it

But whenever i restart my phone it gets locked again :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
Just to make sure. You tried galaxysim unlock. It is different than galaxy s unlock. Galaxy s unlock is no longer working on Jelly Bean.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rushaan™:
It is paid right ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
The one on the forum is not. Get it from the play store and you will have to pay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rushaan™:
Thanks a lot

So basically the answer is this :-

Galaxy S Unlock doesnt work for JB and ICS.

You can use galaxy Sim Unlock to unlock your phone running ICS or JB

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x10knight:
What is google's stance on rooting the nexus family? Will they take a nexus 7 back that is bricked by rooting?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Google itself doesn't do the repairs, I think Asus does. There's no such thing as "bricked" by simply rooting. Besides, if a device is actually bricked with no signs of life, they won't be able to identify what caused it.

If you tell them that you've modified it in some way, they may try to deny you service. That's why you don't tell them.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
It hard to say what their stance is on rooting the Nexus family. They make it so easy to root it's like they want us to do it or know that developers will do it. It's so easy to root that you don't even need a toolkit to do it.

Chances of bricking? If you follow all the instructions carefully, you won't run into a brick...wall. (Get it? Lol)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ismethajametovic:
I have a Nexus 4 and I can receive Band 4 LTE on it. I had an Infuse before and I want another to play around with. Was wondering if the Infuse can use Band 4 from T-Mobile?

I tried searching, but I got confused from all the numbers in Mhz wikipedia was giving me. :silly:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
Infuse hardware limits it to 4G and not LTE.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ismethajametovic:
Thanks, I'm just going to assume that it can't receive T-Mobile's HSPA+, only AT&T's.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:

HSPA+ is 4G. You might need to tweak the APN.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] bokonon9:
I've been on the T-Mobile $30 / month, no contract, unlimited web and text with 100 minutes plan since January 2013 with my At&t Infuse 4G. It really hasn't been too terrible. I was paying $35 / month with At&t on my Dad's family plan limited to 200mb of data per month so I happily embrace the poor reception in some areas if it means not having to track data and limit my streaming.

I get at least edge everywhere except for at work (something about the building blocks out all T-Mobile reception, luckily there's WiFi). I usually manage to get minimum 3G while driving. Certain areas get reliable HSPA+ (I'm assuming when the icon turns to "H+" it means HSPA+).

I used to only run JB Roms (mainly scott.hart.bti Unofficial CM10.1, but have tried all the others) and I never had to change the APN settings. Recently the "Fast T-Mobile" APN appeared and it seemed to help out how often I got H+.

Went back to GB recently with r.e.v.e.n.a.n.t and haven't had many problems. I seem to be getting mainly edge, but I have seen H+ every so often. It really just depends on your area for T-Mobile and At&t it seems.

My Infuse is completely cracked and I suppose that's why I don't mind the slow speeds in certain areas if it means low cost. I dropped a speaker on it from six feet above and the corner made contact with the digitizer basically shattering the whole screen. I slapped a screen protector on it so I wouldn't cut my fingers and it somehow still works six months later.

[Galaxy Note II General] UtkarshGupta:
Looks like you are making a kernel and not a rom.

But that is easily editable with build.prop tweak.

Tell me and I will put the name you want...

You are an epic fail and disgrace to this community. You don't even know how to remove wanamlite from there. You can't even properly edit build.prop.

Present a rom and prove everyone wrong. Put a screen shot of s note on cm10.1 or anything that you have ported. Because anything like that has never been done before.

Wow someone can edit a build prop poorly. Mods please close his account.

You do realize that it's a kernel, not ROM right? Why should we flash yours exactly? Any reason? There are plenty of excellent kernels out there. Are you sure you didn't just edit the name and put it as yours?
[Galaxy Note II General] dingokevin:
More than likely it will brick your phone.

Hi

I wondered if anyone has any tips on using Wininet over GPRS. I'm currenct using eVc 4 to write an application that sends data to a web server using the Wininet HttpSendRequest or HttpSendRequestEx Functions. The problem I get is when I try to send more than about 10k of data I get a server timeout using the GPRS connection but everything seems fine when I have the XDAii in the cradle.

Ok so the problem seems to be GPRS being slow and unreliable but I have experimented with sending the data in 1k chunks and the problem comes when trying to end the http request with HttpEndRequest. I have checked the server timeouts on my IIS server and they are all set to 15 minutes.

Does anyone have any clues?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] juha:
This is the code I use to do a similar thing with a photo which works quite well

Are you setting the response to nothing?

My code seems to be fine as when I used my mates Vodafone sim in the Xda ii I was able to send a 40k file straight away. It seems there is a limit somewhere around the 8-9k mark in the O2 gprs apn. I have to now get on to 02 and find out how they will let me send more than 8k at a time.
