Hi all.
Is there any possibility to software disable proximity sensor? Apps like "DHD Proximity Recalibrator" and "Proximity Sensor" does not work on P500. General goal to disable screenoff during conversations without using loudspeaker. Thank you.
any reasons ?
hey may i ask why you would want to do that ??proximity sensor during calls is very usefull !! makes the screen go off so that you dont accidently touch anything which you are bound to if you touch the screes wth ur cheeks or anything ! any as soon as u take the screen away from the ear it lights up ! whats the problem exactly ??
I need maximum CPU availability during calls. I guess when screen goes off some kernel governor or cpu profile setting tricks lower available cpu frequency. While experimenting with total recorder we found normal operation only when screen is always on. Right now i have just a band sticked on the sensor placeholder and all works great.
You can use Tasker app to do that but its not free.

you can include this in your build.prop file, locate in /system and reboot.
this never turn off screnn during calls..
but i think only run in froyo

Well, this is good advices. But in my case it doesn't work. I have froyo 2.2.2 @francokernel.v11
/system/lib/hw/sensors.thunderg.so have /dev/ami304hal device encoded to disable it like in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-764368.html (nrvate post)
Thank you anyway guys! Topic closed.

Follow the easy way set a profile in SetCPu that when screen off it switched to higher frequencies !!Say 600/480Mhz
This is not solution because in standby mode setcpu will dry battery.

Well, no it will not drain battery. Overall, I am getting alergic of this "battery drain" obsession. There are really crappy apps that drain battery, certainly not SetCPU.
With setcpu phone hangs during conversations.

When I get a call, my Eris 'lags' or is really slow to pull up the 'caller id/answer' screen...aka-my phone starts ringing and they screen doesn't show anything until it has rung 2-4 times. At that point, I have only one or two rings to answer it until it goes to VM. I can answer with the hard button just fine, but can't see who it is calling when I do that...I am in marketing and it's VERY important for me to see who is calling before I answer.

EPST settings have not changed since I rooted (the day root was discovered)
PRL is known good and has produced no issues until Froyo...
The first place to look is your setCPU profiles and settings. What are they?
710/122 on demand
Charge:
528/122
Failsafe:
480/122
That is it.
Have you tried bumping up your bottom line speed to like 250mhz?

Priority values would be useful, but then again your low values don't seem that bad.
You are not using the SetCPU widget on one of your homescreens, are you? (A number of people have reported that causing problems, whereas just using setCPU with profiles and no widget use, things were fine).
I'm downclocking to 19 Mhz in KFV31, but I am using some of the setCPU advanced tweaks, and I probably also get fewer calls than you. (So far, no sluggish behavior on inbound calls when the phone is sleeping).

I'm having the same problem but I do have the setcpu widget running. I'm going to remove it and see if that helps.

My lag got better when I turned launcher rotation off.
Wife has rotation turned off period, and there is no lag to speak of.

ADW rotation was already off...I actually don't like rotation. It always flips when I don't want it to.
I turned up my MIN cpu speed and that made the phone wake from sleep a little quicker, but the call issue is still there. I am thinking it has something to do with the actual dialer .apk used. I think it's Dialer One?

I'm not using the same rom, but i've had the same problem before. In setcpu, try these settings:
Max:748, min:604 - userspace
Screen off max: 604, min: 604 - performance

I'm not responsible for any problems caused by this on your device. It's your choice to apply these simple tweaks to your phone!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[These apps are NOT paid! Only setCPU is paid, you can get it from the Android Market! (All apps provided here are downloadable in de Android Market)]

If these simple Android Market apps, cause any problems on your device it means you've got something unstable installed on your device! I never had problems with Autokiller and AutoRun Manager on any ROM.
Hey,
In this thread I will show you how to get a REAL boost on your Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10! This method could also improve performance and battery life on any other handset. This is compatible on Android 2.1, 2.2.1 and 2.3.x. (This way of boosting performance is without Systcl config! I suggest you to uninstall Systcl config, since it doesn't improve anything for me (and maybe for more persons here). I don't recommend you to use Autokiller on WolfBreak his CyanogenMod 6.1.3. He has already implemented these settings and also don't use this on Gingerbread Custom ROMS for the x10. Autokiller is not stable on it anymore. Just wait till I report more about it.
This method made me lose 0-2% in 9 hours on WolfBreak his Cyanogenmod 6.1.3 and ALL 2.1 ROMS! These simple apps, did improve my performance and battery life!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lets get to the point
Download this and this package, put in on your phone and install them!
Lets config it now
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open Autokiller.
Go to the tab Memory limits.
Now put these configuration into the 3 boxes. (If these values cause problems you can try lower values I will provide)
Hidden app: 150
Content provider: 160
Empty app: 170
Now press on Apply.
Lower values (Only use when you get problems with high values):
Hidden app: 82
Content provider: 90
Empty app: 92
Now press on Apply.
(Don't put these values listed above higer. If you do your device can start to malfunction)
Now press on the Menu button on your Device and tap on Settings. Now make sure Apply settings on boot is turned on! After turning it on, press on Advanced system tweaks. Now make sure that Battery and Memory management are turned on!
Exit Auto Killer by pressing the menu button and reboot your device.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now open Autorun Manager.
Now make sure every service that is listed in the tab Basic you don't need is turned off! Make sure you only turn off things in the tab Basic! After doing that, exit Autorun Manager with the Menu button and reboot your device.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This configuration only effects you device when your screen is turned off. Don't expect with this setCPU very big changes! But there will (must) be some changes in battery life) (Some people had big changes)
The settings here below won't cause any lag when coming from sleep (atleast for me). Even with heavy apps.
[To get the XDA-free version of setCPU take a look at this post. Credits for telling this are going to DooMLoRD]
This step has a payed app. You can buy it from the Android Market. The app is called ''setCPU''.
Buy setCPU from the Android Market. Now open it and do the following:
Tap on Show Other Frequency Sets and tap on the list on Nexus One/Snapdragon [QSD8x50]. Put
Now press left in the corner on the tab Main. Put in the scaling bar the maximal frequency on 998MHz. Now put the minimal frequency on 245MHz.
Now press on Scaling and choose out of the list Ondemand, after pressing on Ondemand turn ''Set on Boot'' on.
Now press on the tab that you can find next to Main. It's called Profiles. Make sure that ''Enable'' turned one and Notifications turned off. Then press on Add Profile. In the Edit Profile window you have to put the following settings:
Profile: Screen Off
Max: 384MHz (Don't put it lower or it can cause malfunctioning!)
Min: 245 MHz
Scaling: powersave
Priority: 100 (High)
Then press Save.
Then reboot your device and enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your x10 is now fully optimized with a few simple apps! Not only the battery but also the performance! Most people think it should improve battery, it's only more for performace. It can improve your battery.

Interesting. Hard to believe the 0% in 9hours. I think that's massively exaggerated. Cellular standby at the min uses 0.5%-1% per hour. Even if you didn't turn your screen on during that entire 9 hour period, you would still have a drop of about 5%-10% in batt life.
But I'll bite and give it a test.

I didn't touch my phone in those 9 hours. I was just sleeping with alarm on
Looks interesting, but shouldn't be in the development section.

Yes, that's what I was saying, even then, cellular standby would eat up 0.5-1% of batt life per hour. Could be much higher if you're on a fringe area of your nearest tower among other factors. In a 9 hour period, in just standby and in perfect conditions it should have at the very least dropped 5%.
I mean this is just the nature of the beast with devices. Only way around this would be airplane mode, phone in sleep mode and not being used at all. Then the phone is pretty much dead and you might as well just have it turned off. Even then phones that are turned off actually bleed batt life. Albeit at a much slower pace, they still discharge while completely off.

I have see a couple of people talk about their screen off / on call script, wherin clocks are limited to a different (lower) max freq when in a screen off / voice call state.
I did some searching and really couldnt come up with anything, if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be awesome.
Thanks!

Use System Tuner from market
SetCPU is an application that uses "Profiles" (Not the CM ones) so that each profile can be set to a different CPU governor and frequency. This way you can set a screen off or a high temperature profile to use a lower frequency. Fortunately, SmartassV2 has a very good frequency management so you really don't need SetCPU if you are using it.
i swear i have seen something like an init.d script that does what im asking... id much rather not have another app running in the background.

1% battery drain in 4 hours... minimal screen off frequency... higher frequency only if requested by kernel. I bet your script does only the minimal screen off frequency.
You can do that in tasker app. Its paid app but you can grab a beta trial from their site.
ok... lets try and rephrase this question.
i DO NOT WANT AN APP THAT HAS TO ALWAYS RUN.
i want a scrip that will detect when the phone is in voice call state and limit the phone to a frequency of my choice.
xperia s has auto briightness which you cannot turn off.it wastes battery it does this by the ambient light sensor,anyone know an app to turn it off?
You can change your brightness with any widget. Also from my experience auto brightness saves more battery than it drains.

I cant do 0% its way too dark. The screen is killing my battery im trying my best to minimise power usage of the screen and i think this ambient sensor is part of the problem - im not too sure how much power it really uses. After very lightly using my phone for 10 hours i checked the stats and it says 50% of the energy is used by apps,wifi and phone radio which is fine, but the other 50% is used by the display...And the display was only one for 1 hour of those 10 hours.........

I can't turn it OFF...I hate the Xperia S auto-brightness...it's so slow and not smooth at all...it's like varying from 10% to 10% and it never stops varying!!so annoying!...initially I even thought it was a screen/light problem until I noted "ohh...this is not a screen problem, is just an awful auto-brightness"
I tried every widget, everything and is useless! either is at 100% or 0%...the rest is AUTO-Brightness!
Then there's battery...the display is always above 65% of all power consumption...is such high percentage normal?

Hello guys,
I have turned on the Call alert -> Answer vibration (so when awaiting for the receiver to pick up the phone you don't have to hold the phone near ear - that helps to avoid network)
I found out that the vibration is really weak, is there any way to fix it? A lil bit stronger would be nice.
Also the screen to me is a bit over-satured, any apps to calibrate the screen so it becomes a lil bit naturally? The natural mode is not good imho.
Regarding battery, what apps do you guys use to optimize the battery, what task manager you use to kill / block un-needed apps to run in backround?
Thank you!

Yes making it a lil bit stronger would be nice
+ reduce a bit (very lil) saturation would be awesome too.
Today I compared the s3 with Note and I found out that S3 screen is darker (note is brighter a bit) and s3 is has some slight pink-orange tint, note has the tint to something slight blue-green (very very little)
Many ways to help out battery life.
Disabling motion, GPS, auto sync, lowering screen brightness, setup background apps for manual syncing, prevent certain apps from auto starting, removing or freezing bloatware, UV UC custom kernel, using 2g instead of 3g, disabling animations, and many more......
Personally, I just use lower brightness level or auto bright. Sometimes use "auto brightness" app from the market and customise the curve. Everything else i leave on and sync etc. I want to use this phone the way it was made to I have heavy on screen time and still get 6+ hours.
On the SGS2, I would also UV the GPU and CPU, but waiting for more mature custom kernel for the SGS3 first before trying that.

Grab the Better Battery Stats app from XDA or donate version in market to check your wakelocks. Heard something about Light Flow casing wakelock of not configured right. Check the XDA BBS thread or search Q&A. I only skimmed, so could be wrong. You shouldn't need to use power saving to get reasonable battery life.
