Roaming Comes Back On After Reset

I'm near the border lately and my phone keeps going into roaming on a different carrier. I turned off roaming but it keeps going back to automatic after a reset. Is it possible to permanently disable roaming?

I played around with QPST to try to disable roaming with no luck. Finally I wrote a VERY rough MortScript that will do it.
Anyone else notice with Mortscript that WaitForActive seems to do nothing? Maybe I'm using it wrong.
Anyway, here's my script. I have it a shortcut to it in my Startup folder.
Code:
ShowWaitCursor
sleep( 30000 )
Run( "cprog.exe" )
WaitForActive( Phone, 90 )
sleep(2000)
SendRightSoft()
sleep(100)
SendUp()
sleep(100)
SendUp()
sleep(100)
SendUp()
sleep(100)
SendCR()
sleep(2000)
SendUp()
sleep(100)
SendUp()
sleep(100)
SendRight()
sleep(100)
SendDown()
sleep(100)
SendDown()
sleep(100)
SendDown()
sleep(100)
SendTab()
sleep(100)
SendTab()
sleep(100)
SendCR()
sleep(500)
SendUp()
sleep(100)
SendCR()
sleep(100)
SendOK()
sleep(1000)
SendOK()
WaitForActive( Phone, 90 )
sleep(5000)
Minimize( Phone )
HideWaitCursor
The huge sleep at the beginning is to wait for the phone to completely boot up since it does wonky things if I leave that out.
If anyone has a more elegant way of doing this, please let me know! This is a horrible hack job and I know it

The mediaserver process consumes approximately 10-12% more CPU when A2DP is on. My suspicion is that Android 1.5 is transcoding the MP3s to SBC (subband codec) after all. It is possible of course it is transcoding MP3 to MP3, but it would make more sense to just pass the MP3 bitstream directly through to the headset to decode. Also found this in a /etc config file:
Code:
# Configuration file for the bluez audio plugin (A2DP)
[General]
Enable=Source,Control,Sink
Disable=Headset,Gateway
# Switch to master role for incoming connections (defaults to true)
#Master=true
# Just an example of potential config options for the other interfaces
[A2DP]
SBCSources=1
MPEG12Sources=0
[AVRCP]
InputDeviceName=AVRCP

Does anyone know whether this will be improved in the next Android release?

Light sensor -value (lux) or current

Hi. (htc desire android 2.1)
In my app-i'm trying to show on screen values of light (lux) , but i get only few values(0-min 40, 90, 160, 225, 640, 1280-max). Is there oportunity to get much more values between 0 - 1280?? Maybe i use wrong variable. Is there a variable of sensor's current or voltage ?? Can you help me??
sensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
sensorManager.registerListener(this, sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_LIGHT), sensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_GAME);
sensorManager.unregisterListener(this,sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_LIGHT));
outputX.setText("E:"+Float.toString(event.values[0]));

[MORT] GAlarm bug fix

Some users, including myself are having a problem with GAlarm turning our devices on at midnight but they don't reenter standby thereafter. GAlarm offers a registry setting change to avoid this (MidnightWakeUp: False), but it could interfere with alarms being properly scheduled and cause them not to go off. Since I rely on GAlarm heavily, that wasn't a solution I could try.
The following script needs to be manually executed once. That places a notification in place to run the script automatically at 12:05am, will reschedule itself for the next day automatically, and then turn off your device.
prscott, RoryB, and CLHatch are the bomb for generously fixing my screwups and providing various code.
Code:
# Turn off your device at 12:05am every morning to counteract a gAlarm bug where device turns on at midnightand refuses to reenter standby.

[Q] Reduce wifi scan delays

Hi guys,
I'm currently working on a indoor positioning project. I'm using WiFi signals to do this. I've tested a couple of phones and tablets but they all have a different delay between the scans. This varies from 600ms to 6 seconds. I'm looking for a way to get the scans as fast as possible 2/3 or maybe 4 scans per second. Perhaps tweaking the roms for the devices, this is no problem at all but then I need to know what I need to tweak of course.
Thnx in advance,
flitjes

Try WiFi analyzer from the market. It has a sgetting to adjust the scan interval. Otherwise, the scan interval is typically set in build.prop

You could fiddle around with sysctl in the console to see if something changes it.
sysctl -a|grep wlan gives you a list of possible candidates.

Isnt this a build.prop edit?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

pretty sure you will have to root, if you havent done so already...
i havent...

Hi guys, I've rooted my phone so that is not a problem. I'm going to try the things u guys sugessted.

I've tried these things but I'm still not progressing.
When I edit the build.prop it only changes the interval of scanning for accesspoints when no application is running.
The problem I'm facing is: My application can't scan fast enough. I'm only getting 2 scans a second. And I'm looking for about 10 scans a second.
Maby this has to be changed on driver level?

I've found out something more. I've switch roms a couple of times and did the measurement of the scanrate. Because of the results I can conclude that some romes scan faster then others. But can't find out why?

Hi,
I have exactly the same question than flitjes. Is someone found a solution ?
I noted a sampling of:
- 5.4s on Nexus 5X (up to 3.3s if i change the ROM)
- 3s on Nexus 5
- 0.6s on Nexus 4
It's a bit hard to use a 6s sampling for indoor positioning
