I do a fair bit of hill working and have started recording some of my routes with my tracks. I have noticed that the altitude recorded is well off, but cannot see any adjustment settings. Is there a settings file that I can amend to fix this? Cheers people.

Read my post again lol.
The height above sea level (not semen) recorded is well off. If that helps any.

Noise Tracker
Noise Tracker measures the loudness by taking an audio sample and calculating its mean average. The black bars are the mean values and the current wave is drawn in blue. Don't know yet what a real use case for this app could be. Anyway, hope someone will find it useful. Tested on a wm6 prof. device.
With 'Scale' the bars drawing height of the bars can be changed.
With 'Rate (ms)' the length (in milliseconds) of the audio sample can be changed.
Info
In case there are no bars visible, change the rate to > 400ms. (thanks nir36)
The measured values are not dB! Will be changed in the app (when some additional features will be implemented).
v1.1
select different channels if available
show bps
v1.2
auto volume setting (measures loudness every x minutes and adjusts the ringing volume)
Thanks,
heliosdev
this could actually help me with my studies.. thank you
What units is the maximum shown in?
The values are in dB and calculated using the root mean square on the audio data.
If x is the array with the audio data then it is
value = sqrt(1/n * sum(x1*x1+x2*x2+...+xn*xn))
Not sure if there is some 'magic' factor in the audio data, it's just an array of bytes.

how can that be that it is in dBs? the highest value I've gotten is around 2, normal sound would be 60+ atleast...
I'm getting values around 80 when playing some music or watching tv and holding the phone close to the speakers. I'll need to write some more info into a log file to find out the reason why you only get small values.

sounds good, I'll keep an eye here and keep testing for you...
Is there a chance that you could put Shannon's formula inside this thing?
(that is, B*log(1+s/n)) to check the bandwidth used and the bps transfered each sec?
A great use for this would be to automatically turn up (or down) the in-call volume if there's a lot (or very little) of background noise.

The bps is calculated now. I'm not quite sure if the time (rate in ms) should be taken also in this calculation. Currently it isn't. Should this bps be multiplied by (recording time in ms / 1000)?
Btw, the used Bandwidth is 11025Hz.

That could be useful. And this app could start when an incoming call starts, adjust the volume and close again.
Plenty of uses!
Very cool indeed! I can think of lots of uses..including my kids and the neighbors! Actually, I have some clinical applications for this little beauty!
Thank you so much!!

heliosdev, you can build a app to play a mp3 file when someone claps or whistle
(I'm not joking, you can find your phone that way...)
Seriously cool, thanks for the app! As others mentioned, if you could add a function where this thing could call or be called by opther programs it could be hugely useful. How about sampling the background noise every 15 min or so and adjusting the ring volume so I don't miss calls in noisy places or get a heart attack when someone calls me while I'm in bed reading a book. If it's sensitive enough it could be used to bug a room, when voices are detected it starts the voice recorder...etc., etc. TONS of possibilities!!
P.S. ff2005, try calling your phone if you can't find it
That would be nice! Right now I can tell you that such a feature is scheduled for April 1st!

New version is up which sets the ringing volume. This needs to be tested because I haven't a second phone to call myself.
It takes the current loudness l and sets the ringing volume to:
l > 70 -> 5
l > 50 -> 4
l > 30 -> 3
l > 10 -> 2
else -> 1
I'm setting the registry value

It works on my xda flame.
Should be useful as or detector of noise: do something when the level is over a value, or when the level is below a value (end of noise)
OK been using adj brightness in the market and it was brilliant in brightness control. Unfortunately it doesn't work on the galaxy s2 and because my eyes play up, am finding the phone to bright for me especially when using it at night when lights are off, what alternatives are their to lower the brightness level please.?
For Amoled screens of any type "Screen Filter" seems to be the best.
I agree. Screen Filter seems to be excellent and can make the screen as dark as you ever want. (to a level that no LCD can ever go to imo)
Thanks guys it worked it is the best av seen so far.
I got mine sgs2 on Saturday and hadn't really thougth I would need an App to control this, the settings ont he power widget were good enough for me. However, I tried this out for a laugh and it works well. Will definitely use it at night time.
Although at the moment I am just enjoying the super brightness
Birghtness control from the notification bar
Can one still adjust the brightness by swiping the finger along the notification bar, like one did on the i9000?
Can one disable the automatic brightness from somewhere in the settings menu on the i9100 in the same way as the i9000?
Yep, same thing works in the SGSII.

Your location is marked as London, so I think that you ought to be able to write a non-nonsensical sentence in English. No offence, but this is unintelligible!

Hi Crypticc,
You misunderstood what I wrote.
1) I referred to a partially completed sentence:
" How I just tried dropped down and not" - not what?
2) You have confused the verb 'to swipe' with an application called Swype.
As I noted, you wrote your location was from London, yet that you are not a native anglophone; No problem, but I was a little confused in the beginning.
To summarize: Your reply confused me. You partially clarified what you wrote, and now I understand. Thank-you.
* Back on topic
In order to change the brightness by swiping along the notification bar, please ensure that you have turned off the automatic brightness adjustment setting in the menu. I do not recall the exact name. Then, it should work.
I think that this can be found in : Settings -> Display -> Brightness
Best regards.

I tried rather than did that's the problem
( swype just replaced swipe with swype - oh and it replaced a few other words too).
That said, thanks for the tips folks; both on previewing/reviewing posts, plus on how to swipe to change the brightness.
What would you all suggest be the optimal brightness setting to put the phone on?

OFF completely?? Maximum battery life... FTW
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
When using my phone sometimes ill notice the brightness level flicker. It's usually on white backgrounds.
It happened on the stock ROM but it's also happening on dual cores ROM.
Is it something to do with automatic brightness? Does anyone know?
Cheers

Yep this is due to the Automatic Brightness. Seems to be worse under florescent lights as the software tries and auto adjust in real time. I think I saw a mod in the forum somewhere but I cant find it now. It adjust using an average instead of directly.

If anyone knows where this mod is I'll greatly appreciate it.
Anyone? Auto-brightness is annoying.
I just switched to ARHD 31.0 from CM 10.2 (had terrible battery life, but I loved the light vibration notification) and I forgot how intense the vibration is on the Sense ROMs. I turn my phone on vibrate only at work to be respectful of others, but honestly this phone's vibration is just as loud as having a ringtone. It's way too much. Does anyone know of a way to reduce the vibration intensity? I've looked all over the forums and haven't found much info other than taking apart the phone....
I know that you can adjust the length and pattern of the vibration, but I really need a way to turn this down significantly. Thanks.
This isn't quite what you asked for, but is my solution to the same problem.
It seems like most of the volume associated with the vibrate function is due to being placed directly on a hard surface that will transmit and intensify the noise. If you place something that doesn't transmit the vibrations well it drastically reduces the volume while still letting you hear the phone when at your desk. I use a small carpet sample (about 8"x6") as a coaster on my desk and when I put my phone down I place it on that as well. It really cuts down on the noise, but not enough that you won't notice it when at your desk. If the carpet is in use, I just place my phone on a pad of post-its or a note pad, which doesn't work quite as well, but close enough for my situation.

***Easier method***
If you want to get rid of vibration completely, but without putting your phone on silent, just use App Ops! You need something to launch the activity, there are App-ops launchers in Play Store or you could just use a Tasker task. Once you're in, just go through all your apps and untick the "Vibration" permission!
No root required!!!
<<< Please say thanks if I was of help!

did you try a screen resolution changer app or did you try modding your build.props (screen density/DPI)??
try reflashing your system only using flashtool.

I think they are on about the speaker icon? It is VERY ambiguous though.
The speaker icon (next to the vibrate icon) shows that audio is supposed to be played through a bluetooth connection (at least I think it is, that's the only time I ever see it). If you terminate the bluetooth connection while audio is still playing through it, the icon seems to stay there until you reboot.

oh :/ tells you how much my brain is working today
OP:
im not quite sure then. i would think it would be a bluetooth speaker too.
The version I'm currently is completely stock. So no changes to screen resolution, but this happens with all the notification symbols e.g - there will be two vibrations symbols when put into vibrate mode.. It's not a big deal and is not affecting the devices operations. Anyway, Thanks Guys!
