[Q-I] How to use accelerometr while screen is off? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Does anyone have any ideas how to do to make it work? I want use a sleepphase alarm on my Ray.
In the section on the HD2, I found that after uploading the modified gps libraries GPS can be used while the phone was locked, so that the accelerometer may also need the modified module to work under standby mode?

as I know MIUI have unblocked gps and unblocked accel. When I try miui, gps work fine with screen off in our Ray. (while screen off in a stock it give one fix by 10 seconds).
I mean this is a firmware limitation. Will be good if any guy learn this and remove this limitations..

nice to hear...go on with testing
WIFI confirmed
WIFI SDIO function has been confirmed by beta tester, loskarlitos - with some limitations like control panel not working , WIFI connection has been confirmed as stable and able to survive standby mode
Thanks Loskarlitos!
Excellent, a new rom to try!!
I can't believe I have only just found this. I could have been playing with it this evening. Its a little late to start messing now!!!
Thanks for all the hard work Nocturne.

i think the wifi control panel only works with built in hardware. thats why its removed from the official charmer roms.
hope you are right. i wil think about removal of it for the next ver.

I dont know if that's such a good idea. Some people use SDIO wifi cards and find those wifi settings useful.
Cheers,
vlodeck
as reported from my beta man, loskarlitos, and as reported above, this wifi settings applet seems to be working only with built-in wifi modules, settings are inactive for sdio cards.
Wifi SDIO owners, please share your experineces - than i can build fully functional rom stripped down from useless parts
Hi,
first of all amazing rom. Really really fast. It syncs great under Vista. To flash from Vista you have to use the "Another Flash Method". I encountered no problems with the 12 apps running, alarm or landscape problem.
Only the Calender and Contact buttons are still hardcoded to Start and Back.
problem with alarm was solved - it was really caused by underclocking charmer down to 95mhz (I'm using BatteryStatus for dynamic overclocking. 95MHz is simply not enough power to bring alarm window up and system behaves strange)
problem with changing landscape/portrait disappeared and never came back - but will keep it in buglist until this is really confirmed
lagge number of running apps stil remains - if lot of apps running, softkeys are not working as they should...hope somebody could try this on another wm6 device?
Calendar and Contacts issue
Been testing this rom for a day or two - I get the problem where Calendar and contacts won't start (whether from soft keys or the Start menu) and I have to soft-reset to egt it working. I admit I have been using iContact as well so I will uninstall that for a few days and see if the problem goes away.
closing some apps does not help? it helps for me...
customization?
Hi, when i flash yours new rom and make HR system was start and customization from old wm5 was started. In rom 4.4 customization was not started after HR, is this was changed in this release?
sorry for my english....
This was reported and will be modyfied in next ver. Till then, just skip the customization after HR
Ring tone changes....
Hi, next thing is that my ring tone changes to default without my command. I've seen this before in previous roms but in 4.4 it was ok.
I installed this last night. Seems nice and fast.
I noticed that the phone pad SIP and MMS are missing. (Installed these manually)
Also, i'm afraid the Bluetooth A2DP appears to still be the older, poorer quality version.
Cheers
phonepad sip is missing because i don't like it - it is not necessary. everybody can install it easily manually. but it will not eat precious memmory for us who does not use it ,-)
MMS support is there - no problem with it, thing you report is a bit strange...
it's hard with A2DP. Some testers were reporting it's the best A2dp they have seen - you tell the opposite. The worst thing is that i cannot test it - i do not have a2dp device :-( is possible that transfer quality is also dependent on used HW?
regarding those ringtone changes - i was testing this today (about 10 calls, some restarts etc - no problem. aren't you using any 3rd party software for phone profiles or things like that? I saw this with pocket zen phone..if not, try please to search for some dependency of this behavior so i can repair it
Thanks Nocturne.
I'm really starting to think I've flashed the wrong ROM. I've got so many on my PC now.
Can you confirm what I should be seeing under Device Information?
Thanks

Disable phone function in Niki 100

Hi.
I've bought myself a iPhone and therefore I won't use my old niki as a phone, but I've been using it as GPS (yes, I have an external GPS receiver). My question is: Is there a way to install a lite ROM that maybe disable the phone function but keep the device running for some app like GPS?
Hi.
Enjoying your iPhone? I'm not sure what my next phone will be, but the iPhone is a serious candidate, together with the HTC Desire.
In WinMo there is something called a Comm Manager.
In my 6.5 ROM in can be found in [start] - [utilities] - [Comm Manager], but this can (and possibly will) be different in other ROMs.
Anyway; here you can turn off [Phone], [3G], [Data Connection] etc, and only turn on the [Bluetooth] setting.
or, even simpler: you can remove the SIM card, and in will not connect the phone to any network, but you will still be able to use it as a GPS device.
Or play Solitaire.
Or use is as a Camera.
Or use it as a coaster.
hope this helps.
Thank you. I've already done that.
I was only wondering if there is a way to stop some background processes that aren't in use right now or better, install a clean rom without the phone function, but thanks anyway, I'm sure I can live with it

Problems with accelerometer (won't work).

Bought this phone like a month ago and by the time I got home with it, I've already had everything I needed to install a new rom, so I installed and since day one I can't get this phone to work with auto-rotate or any other app that uses the accelerometer
I can't remember if it worked with the stock rom, but i'm sure that it didn't work with any of the roms that I used after. From lightning rom, than Sensation 1.6 and finally with Exynos (that I still uses).
I tried calibrating, tried new roms and kernels, never tried factory reset tho. Anyone knows what I can do to get this damn thing to work?
One interesting thing is that the Motion feature works, but that's it.
The motion features use the gyros only afaik. You can test them with Gyro 2D visualizer for example.
On your problem: flash a stock rom and kernel, then test the accelerometers.
If they don't work, send your phone in.

Accelerometer/Gyroscope/Compass Works When it Wants To

I have been having issues with my phone's accelerometer for a while now. Sometimes it works and sometimes it just doesn't with no real apparent reason. I have tried reflashing my old rom (CleanRom 3.5) which had no affect, and I have now installed Jelly'Beans' version 21. Both times the screen rotation worked for all of ten minutes before failing again for several hours before randomly working again. Is this some kind of known bug with the 4.1.2 base for the i605 or does my phone really just have faulty hardware in it? I am using an app called rotate to manually change orientation, however without an accelerometer I can't use any apps which require one for control (ie. racing games etc.). Z device test shows that the accelerometer is working but graphs no data when I actually run the test (at least when it decides not to work). I am more than willing to back track to 4.1 if necessary or even an unofficial 4.2 or 4.3 build (although I will miss s-pen ), but I don't want to wipe my phone again unless it has a pretty good chance of fixing the problem, and I would much rather not pay the $100 deductible to get a new one if possible. Thanks to anyone who can help me figure this out!

[Lollipop][BUG] Video Camera Unavailable

Just updated to Lollipop on the latest generic firmware (23.1.A.0.726) and all was great initially until I decided to try to video my goddaughters first steps.
I was then greeted with a "Unknown Error" on the 4K Camera, and the camera also Force Closed on the regular video camera function.
Is there a fix available for this, as I know the camera works perfectly under Android 4.4, but I have had nothing but problems on Android 5.0
I have taken a look in the exisiting bugs thread for Lollipop but nobody seems to have the same issue...
Have you concidered resetting your phone
See this is the wierd thing....
I've done some googling and it appears it may be a generic Android Lollipop bug that Google is aware off...
And yes, rebooting the phone does somehow clear the issue, but surely this is not the answer to have to keep rebooting the phone just to get the video camera working??
Are you sure you haven't used the flashlight before? Lollipop has a bug when after using the flashlight for a couple of minutes the camera doesn't work anymore.
I never use the flashlight on my phone :-/
Happens to me as well, but occasional random or planned reboots related to Xposed framework and modules mitigated video issues..
Hmm...that's even wierder then as my phone is purely stock...no unlocked bootloader, no root.
Hmm. At least we can rule out an unlocked bootloader as a cause now (two other users and I are/were facing the same issue and we all had unlocked bootloaders).
