[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techguyone:
I've not had a SONY smartphone before, auto brightness seems a bit odd to me, perhaps someone can explain it to me.

On my prior phones (moto) If I set the auto brightness control to on, and I then move the brightness slider it will turn off the auto setting (obviously because its no longer auto) but on the Sony, I can adjust the brightness setting WITH the auto setting in place, that doesn't make sense, can someone explain to me how Sony does it, or if it's a bug.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschmitt:
Yes, it's appears to work differently, seems that the slider sets the baseline brightness and then auto-brightness adjusts brightness within some range. I really like Sony's implementation.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwanderer:
I guess it's a new feature called "adaptive brightness" now.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
IPhone has used this method for a long time. I always had great results with iPhone auto brightness so hopeful Sony will be similarly good !
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techguyone:
OK I've read on this 'adaptive brightness' I still don't know how it's used though, do you set it to max so it's max autobright, or min so its lowest auto? To be honest I'd prefer the old fashioned auto brightness, if I have to still use a slider to tune it, it's not really auto, then there's things like Tasker with automated autobrightness as a setting, what will that pick? Seems like a backward step, unless I'm just not getting it, perhaps someone who's clued up on this can explain how to work it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghtop:
Think of it as a sliding window - it will still adjust up/down automatically, but you get to tune the auto behaviour to better suit your taste. This is a good thing.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] bo1e:
I am having an issue with one of my u8800s. I am not sure what the cause of the problem is. Maybe error in partition settings?

Anyway: I can install stock 2.2 (V100R001C00B138SP04). Works fine. But when I try to upgrade to 2.3.5, tried with a bunch of different stock roms, I get bootloop. I can get it to start once, but if I reboot, it goes to loop of boot animation, and will not start again. I've been reading thru threads here trying to find a fix, but still nothing. I have tried some of the ways mentioned to repartition back to stock settings, but I don't know if it actually did anything. It did not help anyway.

When on stock 2.2, I can root and install cwm 5.5.0.4. This works fine. I have tried to install blepart recovery to repartition with blepart, but after flashing blepart recovery from cwm, and rebooting to recovery, nothing happens. Just locks up at huawei logo.

What can I try to troubleshoot this? Am I doing something wrong? Can I check somehow if the partitioning is messed up and the cause of my problems? Or could it be something else?

I have another u8800, and on that one all is good. Partitioned with blepart recovery and installed cyanogenmod 11, no problems.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Teg8:
I cannot help much, but I know how to check partition table if you have access to the pink screen.

On windows run "diskmgmt.msc" and check there, output won't be that pretty, but I think logically both should be the same.

In this thread buzzcomp left raw image of his internal storage. If everything else won't work you can dd this image into your device (supposing that you have your IMEI backup). If you ever decide to do this make shure that you have your own raw internal storage image just for precautions.

And, just for clarification - you can always go back to 2.2 and problems occur every time you try 2.3.5 ROM (B518 B522 etc)?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] bo1e:
Yes, so far, going back to stock 2.2 always seems to work. And all the other roms I have tried seem to fail. Have tried B517, B518, B522, B526, B528. I tried something called void, which is still 2.2 based I think, and that one worked kind of, but since I am trying to get to cyanogenmod 11, that's not much help.

I will try to get a readout of the partitions for comparison. Only have windows available right now. Can run a virtual linux if windows readout is no good. Here it is:

I'm not sure what to look for though.

Just some more info:

To get back to stock 2.2, I press vol+ vol- and on-button with dload-folder on sdcard. When this is done the phone shuts down. When I restart, it goes to stock recovery, and the following is displayed:

Maybe this means something to someone.

To get the phone to boot properly, I have to wipe data and cache and reboot.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] onesolo:
I'm also with same problem...

Let me explain... My girl had this phone with Aurora, update 25, for almost 2 years. Then she bought another phone and decided to give the X5 to her sister.

I decided to make a hardreset to better clean all the stuff and start from zero. The first time after the hard reset, after the initial setup, I only got a black screen and only was capable of get the notification bar and the settings. It gave me some kind of error of some process... I made several hard resets from android but the same all the time. Then I decided to make an hard reset from CWM Recovery.... after that boom... all problems started... First I couldn't get into aurora...so I decided to flash another rom... no way... No matter what I tried to flash, always got that weird error of status 7 inside the recovery.

Even when I tried to flash another recovery, TWRP, I couldn't get that also... I only got to upgrade the CWM Recovery with no problem...

I then decided to start from the begining and flashed the 2.3 rom with vol + and - and power. I did get to flash it, but only after a wipe I could get inside the rom. Then if I turn off or rebooted the phone, It would enter the loop logo... I tried to reflash a few times but always had the same problem, the loop logo.

Then today, I tried to flash the 2.2 rom, but for some reason the upgrade bar was stuck at the beginning... Tried again to flash 2.3 and the same thing... Only after I came here, I saw how to flash without any problem, had to flash without battery... and it worked.

I'm now on 2.2 and after a reboot there is no issue... great, but still, I want to get back to a custom rom...

I think if I flash again 2.3, get the same behavior... but why this is happening, anyone?? Any solutions for not happen again??

Hey

I've been trying to connect to the internet through my Orange Livebox using a WiFi connection from my SPV 3100.

I tried all settings but couldnt connect to the Livebox at all.

I found a post about using a static IP to connect on another forum this actually had success in that it actually managed to connect to the Livebox and the internet but after a certain period the connection randomly seems to drop and after a while doesnt connect at all.

I havent changed any of the settings on the Livebox, I've tried almost everything on the M3100 but to no success.

If anyone has had success achieving this could they please let me know how they managed to do it.

All help appreciated and thanks in advance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] All5tars:
Has you livebox got a button on it? If it has its the pairing buttonn... You need to hold that when pairing... I know you had to do that on the old wanadoo liveboxes...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] 4Site:
Yes it has and i have been using it as per the instructions.

Thanks for your help

Has any1 else managed to use their SPV M3100 to access the web thru their Orange Unlimited Livebox if you have managed it can you please let me know how u managed it.

Thanks in advance again
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] barking_mad_mark:
Hi,

I have managed to get my 3100 working with my Orange Livebox.

Make sure you have pressed the pairing button on the livebox.

I found that I had to change the settings on my phone in the 'Configure Network Authentication' section to :

Authentication - OPEN

Data Encryption: WEP

and then enter the WEP key found on your Livebox.

Hope this helps,

Mark
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] 4Site:
Thanks Mark

I've done that already to no avail

Was there by chance anything else you did to the settings?

The above worked for me. I entered my key in capitals
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] 4Site:
Thanks everyone after some trial and error tests in a different environment i found the problem to be nothing more malicious than a simple Livebox wireless channel clash where i'm using the box is pretty densely residential and i think the sheer number of wireless networks made it impossible for my SPV 3100 to connect using the default wifi channel 1 after picking an ubscure channel (11 i think) i've had no problems and am actually posting this message using my 3100 through a wifi connection to my Livebox

Thanks again everyone

Can somebody please make flashable modified status bar for Android L preview version with this kind of icons?

http://androidandme.com/2014/09/new...shed-status-bar-icons-and-navigation-buttons/

Yeah, I know we already have that kind of status bar somewhere on forum but if you look closely its not, this icons are little bit smaller, at different angle and smaller font on clock, its looks neat. Also the navigation bar has smaller icons..

Till now my HTC was working fine, but recently I've noticed some pink tint in the middle of camera when it's on low light. Could you give me so tips to prevent spreading of this problem?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
This problem is hardware related and unfortunately it will get worse over time. Replacing the camera sensor is the best solution. However if youu don't want to send your phone for repair, there is a couple of threads in the general section with some tips how to deal with this issue.

good luck

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uzephi:
I talked to a Rep about a different issue and brought up the infamous camera issue. HTC support supervisors (HTC North America at least) have instructed their employees to accept camera warranty claims even for phones out of the warranty period. This means if you get the purple tint and you are out of warranty, you can still send it in!

So if it gets worse and you can't stand it, you don't need to worry about it being out of warranty. Camera is the one issue with the phone HTC will fix no matter what. (If they detect it has been rooted before, you may get charged for a new main board, as it is against their policy to send the modified board back)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LibertyMarine:
About the part of rooting. First my story. I am now happily using my 5th HTC One M7. I had to send it in 4 times. 3 times because of a purple camera and once because of a restarting issue. I got a replacement 4 times. It was rooted and S-Off'ed every time :)

Only thing I did everytime is to unroot and get it back to stock. No S-on. They could detect it, I used the official website to unlock the bootloader. And I am sure they detected it.

So yeah, it might be against their policy, but I got anyways a new phone 4 times.

Please set the following to the same color.

[Xposed Framework Modules] RrOoSsSsOo:
littlefarmland can you add the following options to you fantastic xposed module? (Great for use the Kindle app with eink ereader)

When launch Kindle app, open (directly) the "All items" section (or others) and not only "Home" section

Remove the simple transiction effect (mini slide) for page turn (3D can already be disabled)
[Xposed Framework Modules] arpruss:
Indeed, it's great to have this!

I second the request to remove the animation. (Animations just add latency...)

An even better thing would be to be able to override the margin sizes. (Why would one even want margins on a phone? Just a waste of space. On a tablet, I understand.)
[Xposed Framework Modules] arpruss:
Here is how to change the left/right margins (this makes them smaller by a factor of 8):

findAndHookMethod("com.amazon.android.docviewer.KindleDocLineSettings",
lpparam.classLoader,
"getCalculatedHorizontalMargins",
Class.forName("com.amazon.android.docviewer.KindleDocLineSettings$Margin", false, lpparam.classLoader),
int.class,
new XC_MethodHook() {
@Override
protected void afterHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
int r = (Integer)param.getResult();
param.setResult(r/8);
}
protected void beforeHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
}
});

And here's how I change the top/bottom ones:

findAndHookMethod("android.content.res.Resources", lpparam.classLoader,
"getDimensionPixelSize", int.class, new XC_MethodHook() {
@Override
protected void afterHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
if (0x7f08012c == (Integer)param.args[0]) {
//	XposedBridge.log("top_margin ps "+(Integer)param.getResult());
param.setResult((Integer)4);
}
else if (0x7f08012d == (Integer)param.args[0]) {
//	XposedBridge.log("bottom_margin ps "+(Integer)param.getResult());
param.setResult((Integer)20);
}
else if (0x7f08012a == (Integer)param.args[0]) {

param.setResult((Integer)8);

You're welcome. I've got some Kindle app hacks here, but it's meant mainly for my own consumption. Feel free to roll any code from there into yours. I may well be adding more Kindle app hacks to that codebase, so you may want to subscribe to the feed.

Two other things I've done in my code were to change the green color mode to be green on black, and the sepia to be black on sepia (brown on sepia, which was the default, looks bad to me).

(My code won't compile as written, as it also does one other thing. My colorblind son wanted to use the Monopoly game, but the colors don't work for him. So the code also tweaks those colors. But the only way to do that was to include modified assets from the game, and for copyright reasons, I couldn't post those assets on github. It's easy to remove the Monopoly-related code, of course, from the source I posted.)

This is a great module, and thanks for continuing to update it. One feature request if you ever get the time and inclination. I love that you can enable a tap anywhere to advance the page (so that only a swipe can go page back). But I also like to use the volume buttons to turn pages, and it would be nice if page back still worked with the volume buttons when this option was chosen. Thanks in advance for listening.
