Example.

Suppose you are driving along a road and that on the left side of the road there are equally spaced trees and that the sun is on the left.

When a tree shades the sun AutoLight reads a low value from the light sensor and decrements backlight, otherwise it reads a high value and increment backlight. This may produce a backlight oscillation.

Worse, AutoLight filters light sensor (to remove sensor noise) and this produces a delay in backlight response. Under certain speed / tree spacing / delay combination you may end up with high backlight in shadow and low backlight in direct sunlight.

Got the idea?

problem on my HD2

Hi oruam57,

If I enable the original auto adjusting function on my HD2, AutoLight can report correct light sensor value in the second tab.

But if I disable the original auto adjusting function, AutoLight always reports 0.

Do you know what may be the problem?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] DonDragonka:
For the best settings list... (i use this):

- On Battery Offset : 0

- On Power Offset: 9

Applications Title/Class in [] & value in ():

[iGo8] (9+)

[CorePlayer] (9+)

[Gmail] (9+)

[Outlook E-mail] (9+)

[Phone] (9+)

Important! Title/Class is key and accuracy sensitive...

Even now all other value is the default... but I look forward to your settings... :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] EgorLev:
Hi oruam57! Thank you for your app. I have a little problem:

If I turn off my device in low light condition and then turn it on in high light condition it may take 7-10 sec. AL to higher screen brightness. I set Startup Delay to 0 but it slightly help. Can I do something with that?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] oruam57:
Well, some delay in reaction to light condition is to be expected due to sensor filtering (sensor is very noisy and without filtering backlight would change quite erratically).

Moreover, the sensor needs time to setup after device turn on, without this time there would be a backlight spike on power on. This time changes a lot between phones so I used a conservative default value.

This said you changed the wrong parameter, the right one is Setup Interval. You can try to gradually reduce it until you notice a backlight spike on power on. After that, increase it a little to remove the spike.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] EgorLev:
Set Setup Interval to 500 ms and it works pretty well now. no spikes. will it affect my battery?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] oruam57:
Good.

The direct impact on battery of the program is negligible: when the phone is off the program never runs, when it is on the program consumes very little CPU time.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] jassenjj:
Just great!

Thank you for your effort, oruam57!

For so long time I used LUMOS and was pissed off why there isn't mean value calculation for a number of check intervals or a histeresis for the range...

You do even more with the sample and moving average settings. Just the right thing for such a noisy light sensor!

I like a lot of backlight, so I'll post my settings for the people who have the same taste. (Note: if your theme or desktop background is bright these setting will drain your battery too quickly!)

These backlight settings are for HTC Touch Diamond 2 (Topaz) and AutoLight 2.5:

level 1 low 0 high 3

level 2 low 1 high 8

level 3 low 6 high 13

level 4 low 10 high 18

level 5 low 15 high 25

level 6 low 20 high 40

level 7 low 35 high 90

level 8 low 60 high 180

level 9 low 160 high 500

level 10 low 300 high 2550

My registry parameters(!!! CPU intensive) are:

StartupDelay: 10000

CheckInterval: 2229 (I don't like round numbers)

SampleN: 45

SampleSpacing: 47 (I don't like round numbers again)

ValuesN: 5

SetupInterval: 1119

It must always be that CheckInterval > SampleSpacing * SampleN.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] jassenjj:
Really noisy sensors

I tried the settings above on other TD2 and it's sensor is much noisier than mine. Under direct sunlight there are readings like 2550 - 0 - 2550 - 100 - 1000 - 2550 - 2000...

The situation is very bad under low light (readings 0-0-25-6-0-50-0). The screen changes all the time. The following settings are better for such a device:

level 1 low 0 high 12

level 2 low 5 high 25

level 3 low 10 high 50

level 4 low 20 high 80

level 5 low 30 high 135

level 6 low 50 high 300

level 7 low 90 high 1000

level 8 low 500 high 1700

level 9 low 700 high 2300

level 10 low 1300 high 2550

It seems that the best filtering for this device is small number of samples and slow moving average:

StartupDelay: 10000

CheckInterval: 401

SampleN: 5

SampleSpacing: 60

ValuesN: 7 (or 9)

SetupInterval: 1119

It must always be that CheckInterval > SampleSpacing * SampleN.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Vladimyr:
Working fine on my Raphael!

Much better than Lumos which is laggy sometimes.

Two small questions:

1. Could you arrange things a bit on the settings screen?

They doesn't fit since Raphael has VGA resolution :(

2. How can I disable level 1? I wish it should be

reserved for automatic dimming before screen

is swithced off (first timeout on 'Advanced' tab in

system backlight settings) and never be used by

AutoLight.

Hi, I need very rapid response to change in lighting. What's up? (For HTC HD2). Thanks.
[G1 General] gurnted:
The guides listed here are extremely dated.

Not all services mentioned allow new users, and some now require a subscription. Also, the process has been simplified greatly since the creation of these tutorials.

I recommend using an application such as Groove IP to connect directly to Gtalk

rather than bounce the call all over the place to different SIP providers.

Trying to find a way to verify GV w/o a active U.S. phone number? This info will still work for that, but you have to use IPKall routed to PBXes extension w/ "info" as DTMF type on (pbxes extension) settings.

Planning to do something more interesting like route multiple gv#s to one place? Than the info might still be useful to you, but only as a point of reference.

These instructions will explain how to get Sipdroid and Google Voice set up so you can use your Android phone with only WiFi or 3g/Edge (no cellular minutes). It also provides a solution to get Google Voice accounts validated for people who lack a US phone number.

Alright I guess these guides were a little more popular than expected. Kept exceeding bandwidth limits for the images, so I had to move 'em.

If you would like to view the original guides please visit my blog
[G1 General] jashsu:
While I didn't personally use the method myself, a post on the Google Voice discussion forum said you can perform your verification call on a Gizmo number (receive it by logging into the flash client at gizmo5.com)

The first time I set up an ipkall DID, it took a week. Kind of annoying.
[G1 General] gurnted:
Due to bandwidth limits causing the images to go down, I have moved the guides.
[G1 General] jashsu:
Well, I read that information roughly a month ago so it could have been changed. On Gizmo's gizmovoice.com page, they state that a user can buy a 6-month DID number to accept the GV confirmation call, so I guess its probable that a Gizmo number cannot be used for confirmation.

Well it was before I even got my GV invite, mainly just as experimentation for getting my SIP setup. Free is free, so I wasn't really concerned.

By the way, I have updated the Sipdroid primer a little. Might make some more tweaks/update the sample pics later.
[G1 General] Crymson:
This is a great tutorial! I'm currently using just the gizmo5 + GV setup, what are the advantages to your way? I am assuming the 3 minute outgoing call limit is gone, but is there anything else?

My #1 complaint with the gizmo5 + GV method (and this may be Sipdroid's fault) is that it seems if I don't make or recieve a call for a few hours... maybe a day... then sipdroid sort of times out, disconnects, and I miss calls even though sipdroid still shows the green connected light. I'm just curious if getting away from gizmo5 would fix this? Thanks!
[G1 General] gurnted:
Thank you, and yes you are correct about the 3 minute limit, but you don't have to leave gizmo for that. Just set GV as default dialer and set call method to Call-Back in GV (Be sure to set gizmo # as callback in GV app). Other than that Gizmo5 charged for callerID at the time I set mine up, and I had alot of choppy calls when using them (even using X-Ten and Ekiga from pc). Also Google Voice did not (and I'm not sure if they do yet) allow a Gizmo # to be default forward. Using IPkall gives you a true US # which can be set as default and used to validate g.v. account. People who don't have a US # couldn't even forward to Gizmo until a default US land or mobile number was set.

As far as missed calls and sipdroid timing out, I believe it depends on how you are connecting. I haven't had any trouble with such issues while on 3g. In fact I use this as my only method of calling, and dropped down to just the data plan with my carrier. Before we got 3g where I live I would have similar problems on EDGE and WIFI networks. Try setting the minimum signal strength lower for the networks you will be using under advanced settings on sipdroid. Also be sure to use TCP rather than UDP. Required refresh time is alot longer with TCP and you will not get as many time-outs.

Another thing is it may very well be gizmo5 causing the timeout issue. I did miss a few calls and got alot more disconnects while I was testing to see if I could cut out a few legs of my forwarding scheme. Figured it would cut back on a little latancy, but It gave me issues so I switched back. Though Sipdroid supports any sip provider that uses the proper codecs, it is really designed to work well with PBXes. I have tried it with 4-5 providers and none worked as well as PBXes. Even gizmo5 worked better through PBXes than directly connecting from sipdroid.

sorry about that
[G1 General] maleman876:
ive gotten this setup correctly (i think), but i cannot get the pbxes->sipdroid part working.

if i call my ipkall number, i see the call register in sip2sip, and i see it in the history in pbxes.

sipdroid connects to pbxes fine, and the extension shows up as active. the call just never makes it to sipdroid :(

if i call from sipdroid OUT, i get a message that says please try again later and hangs up
[G1 General] tuppaacc:
I too get this same error my phone wont ring and then I recive an email that says i got a voice mail!!??

how to fix ths pls!!

(NEVERMIND I GOT IT WORKING NOW!!!!)
[G1 General] gurnted:
There may be a problem with inbound routing settings. One thing you could try would be to skip sip2sip by forwarding ipkall directly to your pbxes extension. There are instructions on how to do this at pbxes. It works quite well. I will add this to the guide soon. I've just been a little busy lately.

There are quite a few things that could cause this.

What type of call are you trying to make? (are you calling another sip# or a pstn#)

Which sip provider do you use for outbound calls?

Is your outbound route configured properly at pbxes?

I just let GV handle the outbound calls with callback. I have a sipdiscount account configured for outbound, but I don't really use it much. That's why I didn't cover it in the guide. I'll help as much as I can, but you might also want to check out the Sipdroid Primer. It explains alot about using sipdroid to place calls.

Sipdroid+Gizmo+GV on Android

Hello,

First, thanks for your hard work enabling GV to work on an Android phone, like my unlocked G1 Dev Phone on AT&T EDGE in NYC.

I tried a different route, using Gizmo, Sipdroid, and GV. I set up GV to "use Google Voice for all calls", "call back" method, and WIFI and EDGE for connecting.

It all works just fine, calls to Canada are crystal clear, even away from WIFI on EDGE.

However, I just got my first wireless bill for this DATA ONLY phone (formerly a Blackberry), and was shocked that a 23-minute call to Canada cost me $16.00!

What happened?

Will your method fix the "free" nature of this system, is Gizmo the culprit here?

Please define how I should set up my data-only G1 to work properly with SIP, or do I just undo all the settings for Gizmo, and use the procedures you advise in your post?

Thank you!
[G1 General] B-man007:
if you use google voice....your not talking over the net...your talking over your cell line.

so...follow the instructions :P
[G1 General] gurnted:
Sounds like your google voice also forwarded to your cell number. Make sure it's unchecked on their website under settings > phones. That would also explain why you got perfect calls even away from wifi/edge. You can be sure sipdroid is being used by the color of the call display. If it's a more blueish green it's a sip call. Regular green is cellular network.
[G1 General] ThR1LL:
OK guys sorry for the complete noobness ahead of time but I have no idea how this stuff works but I'm very interested in it. First of all my scenario is I'm going to be moving to the Philippines for nursing school next year and I want to keep in touch with my family while taking my unlocked G1 with me. I have a Google Voice number and a Gizmo5 account. I saw on the Gizmo5 site that I can't make calls for free but I can receive calls and talk as long as I like for free, I think... Say I'm receiving a call from the US when I'm in the Philippines and I answer. Are they dialing my SIP number or my GV number? And if they're calling my GV number are they being charged for standard domestic calling since it's a Houston #? Basically what I'm looking for is to use my Google Voice number and Gizmo5 account to talk to my family here for free while I'm in the Philippines without them being charged for long distance calls.
[G1 General] ThR1LL:
Could anyone help me out with this?
[G1 General] jackslim:
I set sipdroid up using gizmo5 and here's what I did

verify your gizmo through google voice then set google voice to forward incoming calls to your gizmo number

On the gizmo website you can set your google phone number as the outgoing ptsn just use the google voice tab and enter your gv # now all outgoing calls are free to any US #

Now setup your siddroid info username/password is gizmo username or phone # and your password

set your server to proxy01.sipphone.com

leave domain empty

port =5060

protocol = udp

and your done, now your friends, family can call your local number and it will forward all your calls to your phone anywhere with a internet connection and you can also make calls to any US number for free using the same connection
[G1 General] hallevison:
Hi:

Can I get back to using ipkall and pbxes in combo? It is not clear how to set this up. What exactly should I put in the 'SIP Phone Number' and 'SIP Proxy" fields?
[G1 General] gurnted:
Your sip phone number would be your pbxes extension

Example: gurnted-200

Sip Proxy would be: pbxes.com (.org works too but not as well)

Does the time limit no longer apply for Gizmo outgoing? I stopped using them when I got 2 days of choppy calls (both on sipdroid and pc softphone) and havn't been back since. Have they changed it so out calls through Google Voice are unlimited? Also it uses udp which needs to refresh 10x as often. The developer of sipdroid says this causes excessive battery drain. How well is it working for you?
[G1 General] gurnted:
To clarify. If you use the "Google Voice" app developed by Google you are indeed using your cell line. However, if one uses the "GV" app developed by Evan Charlton you are able to set callback number to whatever you choose. By choosing IPKall # as callback and forwarding it to a sip account, calls are made over the net/data plan through Sipdroid.

Hey guys, I have the official ROM from HTC for my Fuze, and I'm scared to flash a new rom cause I'm afraid I'll brick my phone.

That being said, my question is this: With the rom update, I can no longer send texts to more than one person at a time. I'm wondering if there's a program I can install (that doesn't require a register edit cause I'm scared to mess something up there too) that can allow me to send group messages again.

Thanks for any help.

have you tried "SMSer 1.0"? you can get it at 1800pocketpc or google search it. i haven't tried it but it should work and should be free
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] wilbur-force:
I use a bit of freeware called Moblmsg. it allows you to create groups and send texts to groups. Think i got it from freeware pocketpc site.

the only downside is that the 'sent' texts dont appear in your 'sent folder (but can be viewed through the Moblmsg 'log' button).

Easy to use. its not perfect but ive not found anything better :confused:

:confused:

Hi , I recently got a HTC Touch 3G from Orange as i had the HTC TyII and love that phone with the wifi and now i have this new phone that seems quite good however has been changed with the Orange Unique that allows you to connect to wifi but not use it , why would they do this? (money making). The Unique technology don't do any thing that it clams to do i don't seem to get better coverage or any thing, just high data costs and a low batter.

I want to use the wifi on my phone for the internet and google maps etc, is the only way around this to flash my phone to a ROM on this site ? If so i understand that is voids my warranty , but want to know if any one has done this successfully (Hope Orange hasn't put a block on Flashing etc)so that i can do the same because i do miss my wifi and may just go back to my HTC TyII .

Thanks

Hello there,

I am completely new to HTC world. Recently I bought Touch 3g locked to Orange and am currently using it with O2 after unlocking. Could never use its wifi until now with the Unique even on Orange.

Touch 3g Orange

Guys, I have a touch 3g branded from Orange. Used Hard SPL - ensure you have the correct version, and that it installs correctly - reaad the hard SPL posts on how to do this - carefully - and read them again toensure you have the correct version and it loads correctly, then flash whatever rom you require - I went with the standard one and it worked first time, perfectly.

Wifi is rock solid, and it has lost all the rubbish suppressions that Orange introduced in their rom.

Good luck - reading around these forum will solve your issues no problem

I did all of this but used the updated official ROM from HTC. I could not get the file from the HTC website because it says my S/N is not compatible, I can only assume that this is because HTC have agreed to not release the software to Orange units forcing us poor customers to pay to use 3G internet rather than free WI-FI. A bit of searching led me to an English version hoseted on another website:

After updating the ROM, can you guys still use Orange 3G or do you have to use an alternative provider for internet access?
[Touch 3G General] nathanlock:
Those of you that still have the original orange UMA software, I think I have a fix for you that allows UMA to still work but uses your own wifi. Perhaps someone could roll it in to a cab or executable for me if it works.

Make sure you have disconnected any gprs connection that you may already have, change the registry key below and you can test whether it has worked or not by going to http://orangeworld.co.uk/ in a browser. If it is using your wifi you should get "The page you are trying to access is only available via your Orange phone, when connected via the Orange GPRS network. If you are a BlackBerry user trying to access via the BlackBerry Internet Service Browser please change your default Browser to OrangeWorld through which this portal is available."

there is a slight speed lag when resolving dns names I think, but maybe someone can refine the fix that I have come up with.

It has to be run each time the phone is booted:-

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{f792e23c-dc19-4668-9be4-f8688b4c18d6}\DSFLTR_UKSC_TNETW12511]

"DestId"="{436EF144-B4FB-4863-A041-8F905A62C572}"

------------

to restore the original value change DestID back to {4BECC613-31B8-4A62-80DC-893041D24D92}

Let me know how you get on.
