Re: How to disable the sensor on N810?

For network searching you can do the following. Value is in seconds.

Code:

~ $ gconftool-2 -g /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/search_interval

300

~ $ gconftool-2 -s -t i /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/search_interval 30

~ $ gconftool-2 -g /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/search_interval

30

This change will make it search every 30 seconds when it's disconnected for a pre-configured network. Bringing up the dialog through the control panel will reset this value back to one of the defaults.

The top of the file will look like this

Code:

# Configuration file for MCE



[Modules]



# Path to modules

#

# Do not modify unless you're sure that you know what you're doing!

ModulePath=/usr/lib/mce/modules



# Modules

#

# List of modules to load

# Note: the name should not include the "lib"-prefix

Modules=homekey;battery;filter-brightness-als;inactivity;camera;alarm

edit the Modules line, removing the filter-brightness-als.

Code:

# Modules

#

# List of modules to load

# Note: the name should not include the "lib"-prefix

#Modules=homekey;battery;filter-brightness-als;inactivity;camera;alarm

Modules=homekey;battery;inactivity;camera;alarm

reboot.

I'll leave the "getting root" and "edit file" as an exercise for the user.

does this disable the light sensor in the sense that it checks the light and changes brightnness 'on the fly'? the rest of the thread talks about editing the 'brightness period'. which is not what i want. brightness period is more like a screen saver.

Can this be added to a wiki? Are there guidelines for adding new content to a maemo.org wiki?

I have got root can someone tell me how to edit the file as I know nothing about Linux console commands!
