Nokia :: 5230 Light Sensor - Software To Screen Brightness Based On Light Sensor Readings?

Jan 10, 2010

I've just bought a 5230 and I'm really annoyed that I don't have the functionality my E51 had where if it was really dark the screen would dim down. This is an important thing to me since I tend to read at night and I dislike having to go all the way to settings and so on.

Do you know any piece of software that could change screen brightness based on the light sensor readings?I'm just amazed the phone software doesn't do that on its own but hey s60v5 is worse than s60v3...

Motorola Photon 4G :: Media Link Not Functioning

Oct 2, 2011

I purchased the Photon 4G at the reccomendation of a friend and sprint employee who spoke highly of it. It, being a Motorola product, left me somewhat wary (nothing against the company, their hardware is great, not so much the software end.) The phone itself runs like a dream, no issues to speak of, yet. I connected it to my computer last night to charge, aware I'd most likely be prompted for drivers and what not, and I was correct. Surprisingly so, I was prompted with an autoplay for the Moto Helper software contained within the phone ready to install. Did so. Updated everything. All was great. I disconnected the phone and removed the back to install my micro SD card, nothing impressive, just a small 4GB I had laying around until I purchase something bigger, if I need it.

Upon reconnecting the device, I noticed rather than appearing as two separate devices, it merged both of them together under the same portable device under My Computer. Didn't know quite how to feel about that, but didn't pay any mind. I'd left it connected for most of today, when out of the blue, Motorola Media Link pops up, seemingly unprompted and for no reason, and starts trying to sync. It hangs, or something, because I only have 2 or 3 gigs worth of stuff on the card and nothing in the phone yet, and it had sat there for at least 2 or 3 horus at the "Loading new media." stage. So. I disconnected the phone, which allowed me to close MML. It should also be noted that around the same time it popped up, the storage units were separated in My Computer, each appearing as a Removable Disk, one for the SD card, one for internal storage.

Anyway. Upon reconnecting the device, MML did not reappear, and the storage units were merged once again. Attempting to launch MML did nothing, I could see it running in my resource manager, but nothing was happening. I rebooted, still nothing. I then uninstalled and reinstalled, still nothing. I'm not sure if MML is the way to go after reading topics of it messing with Applications, still, I would like the functionality available to me if I decide to use it.

Motorola Photon 4G :: Proximity Sensor Not Working While On Calls

Sep 9, 2011

I've seen this issue posted, but no updates or feedback in a while. While on a call the screen does not turn off, and I am constantly hanging up on people. I have installed the recent update that fixed the no call audio issue, and have rebooted the phone several times. The reboot will fix the problem, but only temporarily. I have also played with the pocket detection setting, and that does not make a difference. I do use bluetooth, and am thinking that it has something to do with it.

Motorola Droid Bionic :: Red Light Near Proximity Sensor

Nov 28, 2011

If you have read my posts you know that I am now on Bionic #3. Unfortunately this one has issues as well. One of those issues is the proximity sensor doesn't work correctly. It will work for a little while and then a reboot is required to make it work again. If you don't know what the proximity sensor is, it is a sensor at the top of the phone that detects when you have the phone near your face. It will cut the screen on/off so that your face doesn't hit the keypad. It is very annoying and almost impossible to make phone calls with this sensor messed up.

HTC One S :: Proximity Sensor Turns On But Not Functioning During Call Using Speaker

Aug 2, 2012

I have a One S, about a month old. Since practically new I've noticed that when I make a call and use speaker phone the proximity sensor (dull rapidly flashing red light) turns on but doesn't function during a call, when the call is ended the proximity sensor is still turned on until I either restart the phone or make a call without speakerphone and end it. Making a call without speaker phone the proximity sensor functions correctly and turns off when the call is ended.

I have asked HTC support about this, they have recommended clearing cache partition through boot menu and clearing HTC sense app data, neither have worked and they are now suggesting the phone be sent for repair. Would you agree that this could be a hardware issue or is it more likely a software issue since proximity sensor functions normally unless the speaker phone is used?

Motorola Photon 4G :: Indicator Light Doesn't Work

Dec 9, 2011

Since I bought my Photon earlier this week, I immediately noticed that the indicator light didn't, well, indicate. Anything, ever, at all. It didn't even light up when charging. I know this is not a burned-out LED because I've installed an app which fixes most of the problems, the app is called Light Flow. Its only limitations on the Photon are that it can't light the indicator for battery charge events/status, and it may not be able to show all the colors, but I do have it working for missed call/text, email, bluetooth on, etc. The issue is, I shouldn't need an app to do this and I want the indicator LED to show battery charge status.

This is a stock, non-rooted phone.

Android version: 2.3.4

Motorola Motoactv :: Can Use A Cadence Sensor As A Speed Sensor

Jul 13, 2012

I want to buy an ant+ Cadence sensor which is really inexpensive and I'd like to know if I could pair it and use it as a SPEED sensor for my bike. Since a cadence sensor just counts how often the magnet passes by it then I guess they are the same as speed sensor.What would be the steps to complete this? or are the profiles baked in the firmware of the sensors and there's no way for the Motoactv to profile it as a different type of sensor?

BB Torch :: 9860 Suddenly Stopped Functioning - Screen / Buttons Not Light Up

Nov 10, 2012

Since around 2 weeks I have a Torch 9860. Yesterday evening, when I was not using the device the Torch suddenly stopped functioning. When I turned it on again it said it was setting up but it didn't do anything. So after a few minutes I turned it off and on again but now it didn't react at all (so screen stays black, no button lightens up etc.). I can't get it turned on again, not even when I removed the battery for a few minutes. I also tried to charge it again as I wanted to be sure the battery was charged but this doesn't work either.

IPhone :: 3GS Back Light Sensor Has Been Tripped

Jan 6, 2010

I had a bit of an accident with my iPhone about 8 weeks ago, some tool spilt their drink down my leg, which got liquid into the docking port of the phone (sensor has been tripped) The backlight died and the phone wouldn't play sound out loud, although if it was rang it was fine (??) I left it switched off and the next day it started to function normally again.couple of weeks later and the backlight has died again, this time for good. i've tried resets etc, and it looks as if it needs a hardware repair, an LCD screen one would assume. The phone has been opened by a 3rd party, and they quoted a £110 repair, so i've decided i'm going to buy the part and fix it myself.
Will replacing the LCD solve the problem, as i have read of occasions where this has not fixed a backlight problem?Any ideas on where I can get the cheapest deal on a replacement 3GS LCD screen?Could this be a problem thats related to something other than LCD?

BB Bold :: 9900 Light Sensor Not Working?

Nov 12, 2012

I've been having issues with my BB9900 for the past few months. It seems whenever I come under direct sunlight the sensor automatically drops the backlight. I can still barely make out the screen however I have to cover the sensor to get the backlight to come back on. It has become quite an annoyance as I find I can't use my phone outside during the day anymore.I have my backlight set at 10 currently with automatic on. I have tried to turn it to 100 and turn off automatic however that didn't resolve my issue.

Sony Ericsson :: C901 Light Sensor Patch Mod

Aug 22, 2010

Hello guys, i am using C901 with light sensor turned off patch:
;C901 SW-R1GA028
;Turn off the light sensor
;v. 1
;(c) IronMaster
;(p) Xamid
;pAtChFiLe=/boot/phone_app.cxc
14140540: 0088 FF20
But the problem is that the keypad backlight is VERY dim (almost off) all the time with it. I tried to modify it a bit and used the value 0008. The result is that the light sensor is off, keypad backlight is turned on but at the cost of screen brightness which is low even at 100% brightness.So can anyone give an optimal value for this patch which turns off light sensor, turns on keypad backlight and keeps screen brightness to max (more or less)?Thanks [ This Message was edited by: killerPK on 2010-08-21 23:49 ]T610 > K700 > K750 > W810 > K800 > K810 > KU990 > K850 > U600 > KF750 > 6120C > G800 > C905 > N82 > 1202 > 6220 > Satio > C901

Nokia Nseries :: Disable Automatic Ambient Light Sensor?

Apr 15, 2012

I want to know if there is a way to disable the automatic ambient light detection which adjusts the screen brightness according to the environment you are in.I use the Nokia 700 with Symbian Belle, and I cannot see an option to disable it. Most devices with the sensor can disable it. Android of course, but even Apple device can! This is blasphemy! Apple having greater customisability than Nokia?

Eseries / Communicators :: E5 Light Sensor Set To Minimum - Display Completely Goes Off

Jan 19, 2011

My e5 has strange problem with the light sensor. If the 'Light sensor' slider in the settings is set to the minimum or one position above the minimum and I put the phone under bright light (for example outdoors in sunny days), the display goes completely off. If I cover the light sensor with something or put the phone in lower light, it turns on again. I think it's software problem, but not sure. Does anybody else have similar problem or my e5 has some fault?

Xperia Mini/pro :: Automatic Brightness & Ambient Light Sensor Not Working?

Oct 8, 2012

I am having this Xperia Mini Pro in my family since May 2012. When I purchased, it came with GB, and very soon there after, the update/upgrade to ICS was released. The upgrade was duly installed through the PC Companion.

I had initially noticed that there is no "Automatic" option under Menu → Settings → Display → Brightness. But then, the handset was in use mainly by my wife and I didn't think much about it since she always keeps the brightness at maximum or near there. Recently we swapped handsets and since I'm a heavy user, I looked for the setting to reduce battery usage, but couldn't find it!

I thought there must be some miss/bug in the software. I downloaded "Andro Sensor" from the market and there is no "Ambient Light Sensor" shown by that app! In fact, it says Light sensor not supported - see screen shot below:

Where as in the "White Paper on SK17" found on Sony's website [URL], at page 5, it says "Yes" against "Ambient Light Sensor".

My question is whether the sensor is there in the production version or not? It is there, then it appears the sensor in my handset is not working and needs repair/replacement under warranty?

After the recent update to 4.1.B.0.587, I observe that my display brightness fluctuates randomly, and this happens very often.

Tried forums but no concrete solution.
