Finger print sensor

Is It Fingerprint scanner work after officially unlocked bootloader

Bluetooth and proximity sensor

Hey guys,

I am a proud S7 Edge owner since two weeks ago. I love it. The overall performance is astonishing y it's design ir ergonomic and beautiful.

But, nothing is perfect, and I found a little problem that is getting me crazy.

I live in Barcelona, and a use a lot the motorbike to move through the city. I have a Bluetooth headset installed in my helmet and i heavily use my LG G WATCH while riding.

I start calls using the watch, you know: "Ok Google, call to......."

The problem is that, while the device is in my pocket and if it is connected to the helmet's Bluetooth headset, the screen remains turned on, PROXIMITY SENSOR DOESN'T WORK while Bluetooth is working. Humidity in Barcelona is very high in summer, and I accidentally end a lot of calls, or while speaking I touch number buttons continuously, with is very disgusting for the person on the other side of the phone.

The user experience is absolutely frustrating.

Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

I came from a HTC M8, M9 and OnePlus X and didn't have this problem with them.

Thank you all.

Disable Light Sensor

Is there any good solution to disable that annoying ambient light sensor?

Turning off Adaptive and Bravia Engine does nothing, that sensor still switches my screen backlight on a whim.
I don't use Xposed and also do not want to. Best would be a solution such that I can use the brightness slider in the noticiation bar to control the display brightness. Other apps with widgets and what not are unhandy. :/

Fingerprint Sensor for apps lock

Is there possible to lock apps or use fingerprint Sensor without using it on secured lock screen like Samsung.

[Xposed] [Testers needed] Trying to solve Light sensor bug

Hi, may be some of you have experienced the bug when an auto-brightness is on and you're in the dark place or light sensor is covered by your hand or cardboard and you're trying to watch 360 video on youtube or other required gyroscope thing and there are lags. Watch them on video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYudbTzIdHU
May be it's already been discussed but I haven't found the solution except turning auto-brightness off which isn't like a perfect solution to me :)
On 4pda user GODKIMOVSK have shared some info regarding this problem. Here few things you should know:
1. There are two different kind of light sensor installed on our devices:
a) Liteon LTR55X ALSPRX
b) Sensortek stk3x1x alsprx
A lot of users with gyro bug have Liteon sensor but there are people with second one as well.
To check what sensor is installed on your device use Sensor Box application.
2) The limits of light sensor usually are 0 - 10000 lux and gyro lags exist only when the data from the sensor is less than 10 lux.
So, the solution is quite simple seems to me. When the sensor read value that is less than 10 lux it becomes 10 lux on the out of the sensor.

I found a xposed module http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.m...er.disableprox - which able to mock all sensor 's values on your device. But I haven't tried it yet cause my boot is still locked and I don't want to unlock it unofficially so I'm waiting for xiaomi to allow the unlocking.
The module doesn't able to change light sensor measurement limits but it can replace it with one number. And if it actually does that's almost the solution.

THE FIRST TASK.
I need people which have the described gyro bug to test the Sensor Disabler xposed module.
1. Install the module, activate it in xposed installer. Go to the module setting, find the light sensor and mock its values to 50-100 lux . Reboot.
2. Turn on auto-brightness. Install Sensor Box or any other application which can measure light sensor data. If it shows exactly the same value in lux that you set up in the module then it works.
3. Try to experience gyro lag. Go to youtube and try to watch any 360 video with your hand covering light sensor.
4 . Share your results in this thread. Does the module work or not? Does the lags are gone?
Share xposed log too (/data/data/de.robv..../log/ and the file is error.log or something like that) so if the module doesn't work we can identify what is the reason.


THE SECOND TASK.
I saw source code of Sensor Disabler module and built my own module (Light_Fix.apk) with following code which is aimed to solve the gyro bug.
Test my module as well and share log.
Steps are almost the same except 2nd step:
2. If the data can not go less then 10 lux then my module works.

PHP Code:

private void ChangeSensorValues(final LoadPackageParam lpparam) {
      
         XC_MethodHook mockSensorHook = new XC_MethodHook() {
                @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
                @Override
                protected void beforeHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param)
                        throws Throwable {
                                        
                    int type=(Integer) param.args[0];
                    float[] sensor_values=(float[]) param.args[1];
                    
                    if ((type==5 ) & (sensor_values[0]<=10)) //type 5 - LIGHT_SENSOR afaik
                    {
                        XposedBridge.log("SOMETHING WORKS!");
                        XposedBridge.log("type= "+ param.args[0]);
                        XposedBridge.log("values= "+ param.args[1]);
                        
                        sensor_values[0]=(float) 10;
                        param.args[1]=sensor_values;
                    }
                    
                }
            };
            XposedHelpers.findAndHookMethod("android.hardware.SystemSensorManager$SensorEventQueue", lpparam.classLoader, "dispatchSensorEvent", int.class, float[].class, int.class, long.class, mockSensorHook);
 }

I am also open for help from devs and other people. It's just sad that no one hasn't even tried somehow to solve the gyro bug despite so much people have the phone.

To mods: please move that thread if it is not in appropriate place

Xperia X/X Performance Camera sensor information

Hi everyone, I've been searching the internet for the past couple of hours and I see there is a disagreement for the sensor used in Xperia X and X Performance. Some sources say (like Wikipedia) they use the same IMX300 sensor as the Z5 series, and some sources claim that it is IMX318. And almost none of the reviewers mentioned anything related to this during their YouTube reviews. What do the developers here know about this? Please do enlighten us :confused:

It's NZ model G935F. So far I have done this but no luck:

The problem with the heart rate sensor after upgrade

Proximity Sensor Bug/Glitch - Maybe Hardware or Kernel issue - Any Solution?

The Tampered, Unclocked, S-Off, Cid-11111111, HBoot 2.22, Rooted HTC One Mini that I have doesn't ring when Proximity Sensor reads "NEAR".

I'm aware of Sense 6 options like "Ring louder when in pocket" but none of them worked on making the phone ring when a call is received.

That happened when the phone was completely stock, so recently I went through all the process of S-Offing it to install a new Rom. I choose the latest Insert Coin 5.0.8, but the problem persists. so now I'm almost certain it's an hardware issue...

The phone has several years old and returning it for repair/replaced isn't really an option.

Since I'm giving this phone to my mother, I really need it to ring and vibrate when someone calls her or else she'll never pickup any calls with the phone in her purse.

I've tried installing Xposed Framework to have a try at the sensor disabling app, but the whole rom crashed badly and I needed to reinstall everything.

Other usefull info:
Kernel: 3.4.10-kairi@M4 zeroblade1984@c3-nanotech #1 SMP FREEMPT

Is there a way to override proximity sensor when a call is received and/or making the phone ring regardless of proximity sensor state?

Looking foward for an expert tip. Thanks.

[Q] Will the fingerprint sensor still work after the device is fastboot unlocked?

Hi,

Still deciding whether or not to get a P9 (global) because of the quiet development scene.

As per title, will the fingerprint sensor still work after the device has been fastboot unlocked (a la Sony)?

How to disable magnetic Ice View Sensor?

I have a rooted HTC 10 (Viper) and I have a problem that I think I've found the cause.

I have a magnetic car mount and when I put the phone on the mount it used to bring up Ice View. I have uninstalled Ice View but I notice that the phone is often sluggish and unresponsive to hitting the home, back, and recent apps buttons. If I remove it from the magnet the problem goes away.

What do I need to do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
