Hello,
Does anyone know whether the setting for the backlight is hardware or software. I really would like to conserve power by setting the backlight to a lower level and off is not an option.
Currently there are only two settings as you know and the ipaq has many settings.
Anyone know?
Anyone.. Anyone...Anyone
Tap SETTING/SYSTEM/BACKLIGHT the select On/Off menu.
thats not what he meant Chasl.
Bedammit, its hardware. I tried changing the value in a registry key, and it only accepts a value of 0 (off) or 255 (on). I wanted to reduce the brightness as well, but its not possible. you may think abt tinting the screen though!
hmm
Thanks...
I was hoping to save power.
Ho hum
I hope the XDA II has it...
Then again..
I may not get an XDA II
Hey, I am trying to find the reg key that controls the the external display timeout, I know you can set it in the settings to 5, 10, 15, 30 seconds, but I am trying to figure out which reg key controls it. thanks
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SecondaryDsp]
"DisplayTimeout"=dword

Is there any number (or other) to put there to have a display timeout longer than 30 sec?
...10 minutes for example...I know that involves battery consuming but I (and my friends) like startreck external clock when I put my phone on the table...moreover there my phone is usually charging...
Some weeks ago I tried with no success...
thanks
same boat here, I can't get it to stay on any longer than 30 sec.
timeouts
it seems that the reg values of 2=5 sec, 3=10 sec, 4=15 sec and 5=30 sec, however no other numbers have a timed value, it must be referencing a dll file, but I am not sure which one, I will res hack some and see if I can find it.
"DisplayTimeout"=dword:00000002 - 5 sec
"DisplayTimeout"=dword:00000003 - 10 sec
"DisplayTimeout"=dword:00000004 - 15 sec

displaytimeout
Erofich,
it my be my device but the reg key for the display timeout only allows for a 0 through whatever number option, it does not show the 00000001 (etc.) values.
I tried to create a new dword key, but it does the same, only gives the option to enter the 0 through whatever number, is there a way to assign the 00000006 value to a dword 6?

Strongly recommended update and read below
Maybe no body online on 12/25 so....release early.
Change:
1.add setup.dll to cab. it works after install without reboot.also uninstall it stop work without reboot.Delete all file and reg very clear.
But if you install any old one you'd better make a hard-rest .
2. separate lock trigger and stand-by. there are no relationship between them.
3.add delay time .it start from screen lock app run. but it work just you check lock and then stand-by
4.add energy optimization. Check it the stand-by means that suspend without call connecting and USER_IDLE with call connecting.
. But every app stop run.So be careful with checking it.e.g:if alarm ring ,it wake up device, but when it suspend ,alarm stop and silence.Uncheck it ,Stand-by means SYS_IDLE without call connecting, USER_IDLE with call connecting.
5.Separate ms sign 。So if it do not works please install cert.cab and reboot..
6. Fix all exist bugy.

you must check the first checkbox . if you want to use new screen lock with wm 6.5
upupup..
Hey, I might be a dummy but ... how do I access options?
HKLM Software\\Microsoft\\Shell\\LockScreen.
key dword value suspend =1 .lock when suspend
AutoRun =1 lock when startup
if you don't setup frequently you can
convert cab to oem
copy dll to windows
import the reg and reboot ..
it will work also.
Would be great if U could add into Your software ... to turn off screen after 5 sec when locked because now screen is on for too long. And battery is drain in this moment until it goes off. ... F.ex. to see the "time" for a sec and than screen goes off Then it would be the best apllication i`ve ever seen ! Simply and usefull !
The time you can set in setup- system-back light or setup-system-power
but there is no time to set up WHEN LOCKED ... I dont want to turn off screen after 10 sec (because it is minimal in there) because f,ex. when i`m using Opera and read any thread i don`t want to turn off screen in so short time. I just want to off it WHEN LOCKED
you means lock device but screen is on?
I mean ... step by step: Turn off device by POWER button. And when i want to check the TIME i turn device on and device goes lock (and that is great) but screen is ON for a long time ... i don`t want to use POWER button to turn it off again. I want to go back to off automaticyally in 5 sec WHEN LOCKED. We are talking all the time in situation WHEN LOCKED
hi
i have a x10 mini, and i have to tell you, i was happy with it, but over and over i get frustrated. first i had the issue with my sim card (cant turn on with sim card on, after i updated the firmware)... and now i've noticed another problem =\
the issue is the following: the accelerometer seems to be way off! when i run games like Speedx, i notice that even with the phone on a 100% leveled support, the controls are off to the right.. this is very annoying
does anyone know of a way to calibrate it ? system wide i mean. some apps allow you to calibrate but it is only relative to the application itself. is there any hack or secret menu??
there is a supposed calibrate for the compass in the service menu, but i do not think it has anything to with it. help please?
no one here had problems with the accelerometer? seriously?
shameless self bump
come on, no one has this issue?
I don't know if we could calibrate the sensor, but you can check the calibration in service menu or install the app "gps status".
This app shows a little yellow circle, this should be nearly in the middle of the circular line). on my mini the y-axis is a little bit off the norm. the apps allows a calibration, but this should only work for the app itself (I think).
i've tried that calibration but i dont think it affects the accelerometer? i think its not the same thing as the compass
I think it should be the possibility to calibrate the sensor, at my aino the accelerometer-x-axis was totaly out of range.
perhaps you can reach more at the sony-ericsson forums.
I have the same question... how hell is it possible to reset or calibrate de accelerometer sensor...
Everything is ok, but i noticed when i use the Google Sky Map app, the horizon isn't flat, it has about 30º of error...
Please, any help?
shameless self bump. last one i promess =p
no one knows of a calibration solution? maybe some messing around with root stuff?
same here, some devices got a global tilt calibration tool, some samsung devices got a command tool called "sensorcalibutil_yamaha"... but i cant find a general tool for the X10 or others devices.
I have the same problem (X10 Mini Pro, 2.1).
How to test: install "My Sensors", select the first AK8973 Compass sensor. Put the phone on a flat surface. Here, Y-Axis is around -5.5 instead of 0.
I found /data/misc/akmd_set.txt but I don't know if changing values in that file (which ones?) will work.
Ok, some more infos I found after testing:
FORM0 fields are when the slider is closed.
FORM1 fields are when the slider is open.
The file can be deleted. It is recreated as soon as an application uses the sensors.
When moving the sensors, new values are written to the file.
there's also a akmd2 file in /system/bin
and a VERY interesting file, named sensors.conf in /system/etc
Code:
# Setup BMA150 axes
bma150_axis_x = 0
bma150_axis_y = 1
bma150_axis_z = 2
bma150_neg_x = 1
bma150_neg_y = 1
bma150_neg_z = 0
# Setup AKM897x axes
ak897xorientation_axis_map = 0,1,2
ak897xorientation_axis_sign = 1,1,-1
ak897xmagnetic_axis_map = 0,1,2
ak897xmagnetic_axis_sign = 1,-1,-1

Yeah, akmd2 is the daemon that is spawned to poll the sensors. Unfortunately the file doesn't seem to have any correction related settings.
I'm trying to find the source of it but it seems it's proprietary.
Ok, after messing around I found this.
akmd2 has some calibration mode, you can try by running (as root):
Code:
/system/bin/akmd2 -s
There is:
Start Factory Shipment Test
Start HDOE calibration
Start measurement
Start acceleration sensor calibration
I tested all of them but didn't manage to fix anything
whats with these variables in /system/etc/sensors.conf
Code:
# Setup AKM897x axes
ak897xorientation_axis_map = 0,1,2
ak897xorientation_axis_sign = 1,1,-1
ak897xmagnetic_axis_map = 0,1,2
ak897xmagnetic_axis_sign = 1,-1,-1
Axis configures which axis (X, Y, Z) does what (yaw, pitch, roll). The other is if those axis should be inverted (-1) or not.

My compass is dead...
Hey, after reading the post, I wanna raise a question about my case: my compass is completely dead: whenever I try to use the "compass.apk" or google map, the compass won' spin, and the head of in the google map turns into a circle, instead of a pointer where you identify your facing direction usually....
after rerooting, unistalling the apps, nothing seems to fix it.
I'm so desperate now, would someone give me some hints? Big thanks!
I had the same problem some months back...the only solution worked for me was to downgrade to 1.6 and reflash the 2.1 firmware using flashtool.....to back up ur data use some app like MyBackup PRO OR titanium backup...and sync contacts with google or take a SE backupandrestore backup.....hope it helps.

where's the calibration tool?
i have the same problem here... brand new g2x... one of the very first apps i put on any of my android devices is Screebl.. awesome app that knows how you're holding your phone and then decides whether the screen should be allowed to go to sleep or not.. check it out in the market... there's a free version too.. but i love the app so i paid up...
anyway the settings are way off on the sensor now... and i pretty sure back on 1.6 on my cliq i could do a calibration... but on my G2, and my G2X, i cant find a setting in the phone menu.... and i cant find an app that helps..
I know this thread is repeated everywhere, but I thought I'd start it up for our GNote forums
What are your Tasker profiles? I just found out how to use Tasker yesterday and I find myself loving it.
Mine are as follows:
1) Incoming Calls - Decrease volume to second lowest setting (I have loud friends)
2) Turn wifi on at home automatically
3) Open PowerAmp when headphones are plugged in
4) Send a "Happy Birthday!" text to various people on their birthdays.
5) Alert me when battery is full to 100%. Really useful if you don't want to overcharge your battery.
What about you guys?
Mute at work locations
Pandora + Bluetooth in car
Wifi at home
100% Battery alert
Auto-off unpaired Bluetooth
Regulated auto-sync based on battery
Long-press search changed to notification drawer open
Screen timeout change for various apps
Data off and screen timeout change for ad-supported games

Here's a C&P for the lazy....
______________________________________________
Car Profile
Enter Task
1) Disable PIN Security so I don't need to unlock my phone while in the car (one less distraction)
2) Set Media Volume to 15
3) Turn Wifi off
4) Change Display timeout to 30 minutes (nice for google maps and viewing the album art of the streaming music)
5) Turn on GPS IF power is connected to phone
6) Start recording video with DailyRoads Voyager ( A car DVR program in case of an accident so you then have Objective evidence)
7) Play the THX sound after a couple seconds to make sure the Bluetooth audio streaming is working right
Car EXIT task
1) Stop Recording Video for DailyRoads Voyager (DRV)
2) Wait 5 seconds
3) Kill App - DRV
4) Perform Task - PIN ON
5) Secure Settings - Disable GPS
6) Display Timeout - 2 min
7) WiFi - Turn ON
8) Bluetooth - Off
9) Display Brightness - Set to 150 out of 255
Other fun stuff
Home VAR %STATUS_HOME
Set VAR for when I am near my home micro-cell as the signal radius is small and specific to my house. I use this since the phone part is always on and I don't need to use GPS to determine location which uses more juice. That VAR is then used to turn on wifi when I arrive at home, disable PIN again, Flash "Welcome home", set WiFi sleep to Never. The Exit task for when I leave home turns PIN ON and sets the WiFi sleep policy to Never While Plugged"
Power VAR %STATUS_POWER
I have 2 seperate profiles for when I am connected to AC or USB power. The AC one sets the power VAR to 2 while the USB one sets it to 1. Both are used for other tasks and profiles, like the car one above requires AC connection so my GPS doesn't drain my battery even while connected. I have it flash "AC connected" or "USB connected" to let me know if the phone is receiving the correct amount of juice. When both of them exit they set the Power VAR to 0 and flash "Power Disconnected"
Sleepy Time
Profile conditions
1) Time - From 00:01 to 06:30
2) State - Home VAR = 1 (so this doesn't happen when I am out and about somewhere at night)
Enter Task - In case I'm tinkering with the phone in bed and don't want to keep the wifey up with a blazing screen and vibrations when clicking buttons. Also prevents annoying sounds at night by disabling data sync and muting all but the Alarm audio.
1) AutoSync -OFF
2) Flash "Good night"
3) Display brightness at 0
4) Screen Filter set to 25%
5) Perform Task - Alarm Audio only
Alarm Audio only task above

2) Flash "Alarm Audio Only"
3) Haptic Feedback - Off
4) Notification Volume - 0
5) Ringer volume - 0
6) System volume - 0
7) Media volume - 0
Exit Task
1) AutoSync - On
2) Display Brightness - 255
3) Screen Filter - 100%
Quick Stats - This has two parts. One is the Notification that tells me a bunch of info I like to know like Battery level, Screen timeout, screen brightness and CPU govenor. The second part is launching a menu whe nI click on the the notification that has the commonly used Screen brightness & timeouts I use. I need to add some audio options in there too. I re-discovered that menu was there the entire time and didn't see the + button add more items to the menu. Iwas over complicating it by trying to use Scenes as a pop-up menu. Still need to learn more about Scenes.
Part 1 - Quick Stats Notification
State - Orientation Face Up (I use this state so if I want to refresh the stats all I do put the phone face up. There is automatically a time stamp so I can know when the stats were last updated)
Task - Notify Quick Stats
1) Notify - with Battery level, Screen timeout, screen brightness and CPU govenor variables as the text.
Part 2 - Notification Bar Tool

Where Are You - Here's a 3 part setup. If I can't find my phone I again send a text with a specific phrase that then cranks up all volume settings to MAX and repeat "The Most Annoying Sound in the world" by Jim Carrey from Dumb & Dumber. The text sets a VAR called %SHUTUP to 1. When %SHUTUP = 1 it triggers Part 2. Once I find the phone to set the VAR back to 0 I shake the phone.
Part 1 - Where Are You Status
Event - Received Text with specific phrase
Task - Variable Set - %SHUTUP = 1
Part 2 - Where Are You Status
State - Variable Value = 1
Task - Where Are You Audio

A couple more but they are straight from the Tasker Wiki
I'm definitely going to have to do those. Right now, all I understand is the basics of Tasker (no where near Variables) but I'll follow your instructions.
Thanks especially for "Where are you"
A few I use....
1). Pocket Lock - Detects when phone is upside down in my pocket and activates WidgetLocker.
2). Read Caller Aloud - Incoming caller name said aloud so I can decide whether I want to answer without looking at my phone.
3). Night Mode - From 00:00 to 06:00 Puts phone into silent mode, plus checks whether Wifi, Data, GPS, or Blutooth are on, and turns them off if they are.
4). Battery Low - When battery gets to 15%, and it's not connected to a charger, Says "Battery low, connect charger" and turns off Wifi, BT, Data, GPS.
5). Music Player - When headset is plugged in, loads music app.
6). Home - Gets general location from cell tower, activates Wifi, disables Data & GPS. Exit Task disables Wifi, and enables Data.
7). Work - Gets general location from cell tower, disables Wifi, Data, GPS, BT, and Auto Replies to sms that im working and will reply when i can.
I'm pretty new to tasker, but have been pretty bored lately and have been working on an addition to my Work profile.
This profile will, use variables to save up to 5 peoples numbers and how many times each has txted me, and txt each of them back, using their names from my contact list in the body of each txt.
So lets say BOB txts me once, his number will be added as a variable, and it will begin counting the txts from him. On the first txt he is send a txt saying, something like. "Sorry BOB, im at work, will reply when i can".
Then DAVE txts, he will be assigned to Sender2, and have a txt sent to him like above, with the second Counter and Number (%CNTR2 and %SNDR2).
BOB, realizing it's an auto-reply, decides to be funny and spam txt me, thinking he will get a reply every time. However, tasker counts his incoming txts, (%CNTR1) and when it reaches a value of 10, send just one more txt saying something like (Thats 10 txts you've sent, seems Im still unavailable).
Profile: Auto Reply
Variables:
%SNDR1 <---- BOBs cell number
%SNDR2 <---- DAVEs cell number
%SNDR3
%SNDR4
%SNDR5
%CNTR1 <---- BOBs txt counter
%CNTR2
%CNTR3
%CNTR4
%CNTR5
%TXTVAR <---- Counter determining whether a txt received is from someone new or a number already saved.
Enter Task:
Code:
1). GoTo label Sender1 if %SMSRF ~ %SNDR1
2). GoTo label Sender2 if %SMSRF ~ %SNDR2
3). " " etc.
4).......
5).....
6). If (%SNDR1 ~ 0) then SetVariable %SNDR1 to %SMSRF
7). If (%SNDR2 ~ 0) and (%TXTVAR = 1) then SetVariable %SNDR2 to %SMSRF
8). If (%SNDR3 ~ 0) and (%TXTVAR = 2) then SetVariable %SNDR3 to %SMSRF
9)........etc.
10).
11). If (%SMSRF ~ %SNDR1) <-------- Label Sender1
Variable Add (%CNTR1 + 1)
If (%CNTR1 = 1)
Send SMS (Tells this person eg. BOB I'm at work)
Variable Add (%TXTVAR + 1)
Else If (%CNTR1 = 10)
Send SMS to %SNDR1 (Thats 10 txts you've sent me)
Endif x2
12). If (%SMSRF ~ %SNDR2) <-------- Label Sender2
Variable Add (%CNTR2 + 1)
If (%CNTR2 = 1)
Send SMS (Tells this person eg. DAVE I'm at work)
Variable Add (%TXTVAR + 1)
Else If (%CNTR2 = 10)
Send SMS to %SNDR2 (Thats 10 txts you've sent me)
Endif x2
13). If (%SMSRF ~ %SNDR3) <-------- Label Sender3
Variable Add (%CNTR3 + 1)
If (%CNTR3 = 1)
Send SMS (Tells this person eg. EMILY I'm at work)
Variable Add (%TXTVAR + 1)
Else If (%CNTR3 = 10)
Send SMS to %SNDR3 (Thats 10 txts you've sent me)
Endif x2
14). ......Etc.
15). ......
I'm still working on it, deciding whether to have the variables reset as they are all filled, 1 at a time, or to make them reset every hour or so. Also whether to make another profile purely for resetting those variables, or add them to this task. Bearing in mind that on my phone it gets rather annoying to manage/edit the task since its currently at 78 lines long.
As I said I was bored.
If anyone is interested in this I can post a backup xml of this somewhere.

Bored indeed. Anywho, look into arrays in Tasker, that'll make this tracking stuff much easier. Track all of that stuff in one array vs a bunch of different ones. Might clean up the code a little, make it easier to erm.. relieve more boredom?
