[HTC Desire C] LaputaCake:
It is true we have too many duplicates. We need originalatility and if you have many ideas do all of them and the best one will work .why so you think I release hardly any roms. Because we already have loads and there all pretty similair and when I've finished cm7 I want all the roms in one thread without any duplicates as once theres a rom like aokp ported or built we don't need Amy more but the person has to keep it updated. Those are the rules of you want to port a cm7 rom. Or I'll only release it to a select nber of people god. Male something original.

Well then that was long. Nowy thba are aching. DNA should of used swipe :p
[HTC Desire C] DillaDawg:
If this device is to move forward then devs need to support there ROMs more with updates and improvements post release. Too many ROMs here that have been forgotten by the dev after release, still on v1.

[HTC Desire C] wilberfish:
I agree with penguin over at pico if a ROM is popular everyone helps make it better and it gets updated, not copied with extras!

If people want cm7 why not?

But let's help with one version not 10.

Let's all work together!

Since I got this phone there have been huge advances let's try to recapture the momentum.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Anyone have a source I can order a replacement screen from? I had Sprint replace the screen on my Evo 4G a couple of years ago and the cost was $35 total for a new screen & bezel. I went in to the same Sprint store and they said they no longer do it. Likewise I'm having a hard time finding replacement parts so that I can do it myself. In a previous life I was a Nokia repair tech so I'm pretty good with these things but I need parts. I'm seeing that some places sell a digitizer but I need the front glass. I may also need the next layers too as I've got some colorful spots near the bottom corners where it landed and cracked from. I saw someone selling something but it said specifically not for the Sprint version of the phone. Anyone know where I could get these parts preferably with a new bezel?

We were supposed to have 1yr contracts on our business account and since they took those away we're having to wait longer for upgrades and this is the result. If our account was the way it was for years prior we'd just go in and pay to upgrade our phones. I'm going to seriously reconsider staying with Sprint once our contracts are up this time around since this is no longer a selling point compared to their competition.

Thanks for the help! :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Looks like I found it for $69.99 here. Any cheaper anywhere? Any reason this one won't work on my Sprint LTEvo? Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:
Also, I just found this site which seems to sell the same part for about $10ish less. They also sell the housing for about $30 which I also need to replace since mine is fairly beat up. I noticed that they sell this one without a light guide for about $60 and then they sell this one which has a light guide for about the same price but it's B-stock. My question is what the heck is a light guide and do I need one? Is it something I need to remove from the old one that could potentially get destroyed when removing it to re-use or something? Please get back to me quickly so that I can get my order on the way so I can fix my phone before it breaks worser.

Thanks! :cool:

Yeah, I've seen that thread but it doesn't really address the questions that I have here,
[Nook Touch General] vivk4halo:
Hello Everyone,

I bought a blacklisted Nook Simple Touch for a really cheap price from my friend. Since its blacklisted, I cannot register it through B&N.com. I am not planning to purchase ebooks through B&N.com anyways, so I don't really care about not registering the NST. I bought the device to just read ebooks which I will load from my computer through the USB Cable or through the SD Card.

I skipped the registration process through the "Skip Oobe" Method and it works pretty fine.

The only problem I am facing with this unregistered device is the battery drain. The battery lasts for only 10-15 days after fully charging it while the registered Nook gives a battery life of 40-45 days. My WiFi is always turned off.

I found a similar thread in the forum already:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1475070

But I did not find a satisfactory answer to my question there.

So,

1. What is the problem in the unregistered device that makes the battery drain quicker? Please suggest me some solution for the same.

2. Will rooting solve the problem? Can I root NST without registering the device? I don't mind rooting as long as it solves the problem.

Please help me.
[Nook Touch General] OverByter:
I have no idea what causes the problem and am not sure if rooting would help, but as far as being able to root with the device unregistered that's not going to be a problem.

[Xperia SP General] alivanov79:
If you have a WiFi permanently disabled or very weak, try to do it:

Open the file /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini in text editor.

Change the line gEnableBmps = 1 to gEnableBmps = 0

Save and reboot

This increases the stability of the WiFi and fixes WiFi from regular stops.
[Xperia SP General] Pietertje_:
Only for rooted sp?
[Xperia SP General] alivanov79:
Yes
[Xperia SP General] Qdezi:

[Xperia SP General] Pietertje_:

How can i edit and save it?
[Xperia SP General] alivanov79:
Mount /sytem as rw in RootExplorer or in some others file managers that support root.
[Xperia SP General] Pietertje_:
Thanks. Hope this will fix the random wifi disconnects.

*Edit

The fix didn't work for me, wifi is still very unstable with random disconnects.
[Xperia SP General] sebasc182:
Can't modify with anyone root explorer, anybody have any idea why I'm doing wrong?
[Xperia SP General] Xadious:
Any issues with battery life after doing this? After googling came across a posting regarding this code and the Nexus 4 where it increased the idle battery usage from 0.5% to 5% per hour.
[Xperia SP General] alivanov79:
No battery draining at all for me.
[Xperia SP General] Xadious:
Good to hear. I just did the edit and it fixed the issue i was having with the AirDroid app where before it would disconnect if the screen went off, now it works even with it off :D
[Xperia SP General] Parkside:
Don't know about battery drain but this seems to definitely speed up connection to my wlan. Before I would get one or more authentication errors before it would connect but it seems pretty instant now. Will keep an eye on battery and report back.

EDIT: I don't think its helped actually. That said my issues sound slightly different, in that once I'm logged on things are good, but it can take five or six time s to log on if I don't have a good signal.
[Xperia SP General] Pietertje_:
after a 5th reboot it looks like it is working.

4 hours without wifi disconnecting.

[Xperia SP General] CallMeVentus:

[Xperia SP General] Xadious:
Seems this is not the magic fix i thought it was, battery drained a huge amount overnight in idle mode when i was asleep. Corresponds to roughly what other people said in other forums about battery draining at about 5% per hour in idle mode as opposed to 0.5% per hour at default setting.

Seems its more an issue of Sony having to optimise WIFI settings to work correctly as it's probably mostly at default Android settings currently (with some changes by Sony, but clearly not enough changes).
[Xperia SP General] clewis:
I could be wrong but i don't think its a software issue, i have had two sony phones and they both had poor wi-fi signal and range compared to other's like htc etc.

i just think sony uses poor wi-fi modules in xperia devices, because the same conversation was going on with my last xperia play and that never really got fixed.

Final WiFi fix

Hi @ll!!. This is my own solution for fixing WiFi range, drops & performance. With these tweaks I have reduced at all drops, and increased the range and performance significantly (absolutely no battery drains...).

2 files:

/system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini

You must change:

at line 76 by your proper value (see your

original file

)

/system/build.prop

You must add this content to the end of your own

build.prop

And then reboot & enjoy ;)

(Tested on .257, but should work in any 4.1.2)
[Xperia SP General] ashis.kyal:
Battery drain is very huge after this mod I m gonna revert back.

It drains like hell
[Xperia SP General] Pietertje_:
Doesn't work for me.

Have you used it together with alivanov79 his fix?
[Xperia SP General] bolzass:
Hi!, no, I don't use it with alivanov79 fix (I'm not confortable with battery drain).

If you use another fix, my suggestion is to use them or only use this changes or made tests... (I was reading a lot, getting helpfull info&solutions, tuning them and making T&T)...

Is strange if it does not make sense on you... Can you explain a bit more your scenario?

Some tips to take into account:

- Don't believe on status bar wifi bars

- I supose you checked your router:

- Channel not too much overlaped (use wifi analizer or similar). Change to an unused/more free one (not permit other channel overlap you with more power...)

- If your router is using HT-40 (20/40MHz channels), try to fix to 20MHz...

- Make test with some tool (file copying over local network instead: from desktop to mobile with ES explorer for example)

- Check that your mobile as no issues with resources (no free RAM/paging, local storage ko, CPU too busy,...)

- If you have other tweaks, coming from ICS, please forget them:

- build.prop... (tcp.xxxxx, etc.)

- init.d tweaks... (/sys/xxxxx, etc.)

- sysctl...(ip.xxxx, etc.)

-...

Just an over the fly numbers:

Before,

I got 1.5-1.7MBps file copy from my file server. Close to router.

Got some drops/cuts from the next side room to router 1 wall-5meters: 1.1-1.3MBps filecopy

Got a lot of disconnections/drops next in the terrace close to the above room: 500KBps-800KBps

After,

Got 2.35-2.52MBps close to router

Got 2.2-2.4MBps close to the next room. No drops

Got 1.9-2.1MBps in the terrace. No drops.

I also changed to 20MHz channels on the router.
[Xperia SP General] Pietertje_:
I tried it with only your fix. I have tried the fix from alivanov79 before but it didn't work.

The first step is to change gAPMacAddr=GET_FROM_YOUR_CONFIGFILE.

I don't have GET_FROM_YOUR_CONFIGFILE. I have got some numbers in place, I geuss my MAC adress.

I have added the last two lines in build.prop

The router setting are set correctly and I don't have any apps running on SP.
[Xperia SP General] bolzass:
Yes, 'GET...' must be changed with your MAC address.

In build prop, ensure you are using. Unix format and probably let an empty trailing line (I suggest usin notepad++).

If you pm me your original files I can do it for you.

What about router & channel?
[Xperia SP General] Pietertje_:
The build.prop is done.

The mac adress that's in WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini is different from the one i find in the settings/about phone/status.

Router is set to channel 11. 20Mhz. The router is still on wifi b/g/n because some devices in our house don't support wifi n network.
[Xperia SP General] bolzass:
Sorry, I underexplained it to you... Is the MAC address for your mobile when acting as AP (WiFi port on settings for sharing your connection).

Is not really important, just put a valid one (to ensure copy the same value from your original file).

About your channel, check interferences with WiFi analizer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&hl=es) and choose one that as less interferences/overlaps.

If you fixed to 20MHz (recommended if you have old devices), you can also disable it on WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini:

If you still continue experiencing problems, comment out this lines like:

Battery super-drain

Did this trick and somehow it worked. But last night i forgot to turn Wifi connection off, after 8 hours I wake up and realize that my phone has only 47% battery left, compared to ~80% right before I fell asleep. This is terrible to me... :eek:
[Xperia SP General] Pietertje_:
back to normal again.

fix was not working and huge battery drain.

4% per hour in standy.

Edit:

with default settings i have more wifi drops.

so the fix decreased the amount of drops but did not remove them completely.
[Xperia SP General] ashis.kyal:
The trick did bot worked sO I reverted back to normal but the battery drain is very huge its simply taking up LiKe phone is fitted with 1500mAh or something LiKe that
[Xperia SP General] pec0ra:

ConnectivityThresholdDBM=-100

Works without battery drain.

I tried it on SP and haven't had any drop or drain since then. :)
[Xperia SP General] Pietertje_:

Did you go back to original files before you tried it?
[Xperia SP General] pec0ra:

[Xperia SP General] Miloš1978:
fix

to pec0ra-----

gEnableBmps = 0 ConnectivityThresholdDBM=-100 ?

or

gEnableBmps = 1 ConnectivityThresholdDBM=-100 ?
[Xperia SP General] Parkside:
OK - I've just done a bit of research and apparently what this does is set the level at which the switch between wifi and data occurs when you have bad wifi reception.

I guess something about this level is not quite configured correctly - either meaning the wireless router thinks you are still connected when you are not, or you go in to a mini loop of trying to connect to wifi/trying to connect to data – sending lots of unresolved requests for an IP address to the router.

I know that the icon in the status bar isn’t 100% reliable, but for this device and my previous xperia the signal always seems to drop during the ‘connecting’ stage – so this may contribute to the problem too.
[Xperia SP General] pec0ra:
Try to keep gEnableBmps to default because changing it make battery drain.
[Xperia SP General] Pietertje_:
Default is:

gEnableBmps = 1

Only change:

ConnectivityThresholdDBM=-87 to ConnectivityThresholdDBM=-100

Like pec0ra said before.
[Xperia SP General] ashis.kyal:
My settings

gEnableBmps = 1

ConnectivityThresholdDBM=-100

No batterydrain problem ?
[Xperia SP General] Parkside:
I don't really suffer from range issues, but if like me you encounter authentication problems I've found that turning on airplane mode, then turning on WiFi resets things and I can connect very quickly then. Obviously you need to turn off airplane mode at this point to enable calls/data.

No I did not get any battery drain. btw I use stamina mode.

The true solution for misbehaviours with WiFi sleep policy:

Well guys, I set this ConnectivityThresholdDBM as recommended.

It really increases the "range cap" of Wi-Fi network, but for some reason I was experiencing malfunctioning of network when phone sleeps. For example: apps stop working at background (using WiFi) and/or notifying me (i.e chat apps, whatsapp, twitter auto-refresh...) and sometimes Play Store doesn't load any data (when I wake the phone and click app), even with WiFi connected. And other times when I wake the phone, my Xperia SP warns me of "limited connectivity" from random. Sounds really weird, but WLAN is there, but not working (zero data traffic). My own solution to revert this bad situation is using some app that has a Wi-Fi sleep policy, stopping Android from managing it. It really helped me a lot, using

Green Power Free

app. No more drops, no more "zero data traffic" and working at background beautifully, even with sleep.

I hope that solve for you, guys! :laugh:
[Xperia SP General] _mysiak_:
Not sure if it has been mentioned, but it seems that there is bug with wifi policy - "always on" and "never sleep" are swapped. When I have "keep always on" in advanced wifi settings, once I switch off the screen, wifi is disabled. After screen on it's enabled again. On the other hand "never keep wifi on" keeps it on regardless of device status..I recall that this was identified on older Xperia devices, quite surprised that it's still there.

It keeps me disconnecting, doesn't matter which option I choose. :(
