Hi all!
Just a question related to the magnetic sensors ...
Anyone know the way to turn them off ??? by software or rmoving the corresponding driver .so from the system
why?

There is app on Android market that will let you disable the magnetic dock sensors. Search and you will find it.
As for why - it is simple. Most belt cases use magnetic latch that triggers either car or dock mode and drains battery. If you are not using either, disabling the sensors will solve this problem.

I could not find any of them tried different keywords so now final solution try removing drivers.... my reason is when i put my phone into the holster goes hail-wire... and 2nd in the desktop dock oversleeps so whem my phone oversleep ... me too get late work.... thx

So it seems that the magnetic closure on my holster flap keeps triggering car mode.
Anyone have an idea how to turn this feature off?
Since we don't have a Q&A section go to General for all your questions...
Thanks in advance

Uninstall the car app (u can use Titanium Backup Pro to do that) and use a 3rd party car app from the Market (or get a non-magnetic holster).

happened to me last night at the gym... it kept going into car mode, and finally I came to the conclusion it was the magnetic snap on the holster... I have been looking for a fix all day and have been messing with/looking for a particular setting.. might be that the car dock activates car mode when a magnet is detected within phones proximity, if thats the case, I doubt there is a way to turn it off.

Glad I found this thread because I thought I was going insane. I bought a cheap little leather holster at Five Below that has a magnetic clasp (like a Blackberry case) and My G2x was constantly going into carMode as well. I don't want freeze or remove carMode app, but I'd like to find a fix that doesn't have it pop on in my holster.
Look for apps like Dock Blocker, NoDock, Dock No-Op, etc. in the market. I am using Spider Launcher and it works reasonably well and has more uses than just avoiding Car Home.
Be wary of magnets & battery!
I have a friend who had a Droid (original), which also used the presence of a magnet to go into car mode. His battery life started going down the tubes when he got a magnetic-closure type holster for it (this was before he/we figured out what was going on).
However, he also experienced some MAJOR issues with his battery not long after. Meaning the battery would seem to do ok until about 40%, then start dropping like crazy. Juiceplotter would show it going from 20% to 5% in 30 minutes, no reporting by android in between, etc.
I didn't research it TOO much (wasn't my phone heh), but a cursory search showed some people had issues with magnetic cases and their batteries going to hell. I'm assuming that the magnet in the car dock is very weak and in just the right spot to trigger the car app, but a magnetic case (unless made FOR the G2X BY LG, so they would know about the issue and where to place the magnet) might end up having some effect on your battery. Or it might not. I'm no expert, but just check out the potential battery issues if you stick with a magnetic case.

Blackberry's have had magnetic cases for years and have been very reliable. I don't know if the magnet would have an adverse affect on the battery itself. The magnet could affect the cell phone's antenna and thus attenuate the signal so that the phone has to increase power to stay in contact with the tower. And although the battery may drain quicker because of that, it wouldn't make it a long term problem unless you consider faster power drain cause the battery to wear out quicker. Good to know and a good experiment to try with the "Battery Monitor Widget".
exact problem
read this and done a little testing. it seems the sensor is to the right of the camera (if you are looking that the phone's back vertically) or at where the hour digit is displayed on the lock screen. magnet clasps should not be a problem by theory if you don't put that part of the phone there and the magnets are relatively weak.
Strange cause I have a heavy earth magnet and went all around it and got nothing. I THOUGHT I did this on stock but it could have been cm7.
I now my blackberry uses magnets and it is actually a nice feature TO TURN THE SCREEN ON but not to launch a program.
If this is true perhaps someone can change the behavior.

When I looked at the battery history in the 4636 menu, I noticed that under sensor, the car home app was using a lot of it.
I'm not really sure what it means, its probably something simple. Thought I would share
Magnetic sensor. Apparently the car docks have a magnet somewhere that automatically activates car mode. If you look, you'll see people complaining about the car home app coming on at random, and in every case they had a case with a magnetic clip.
Yup, every time I pulled it from my holster it would set it off. I don't use it so I froze it. It's a easy fix.
I just deleted it...its a useless app for me

Hi guys, hope this is in the right place...
I am thinking of getting myself some NFC tags to put in my car dock so that when phone goes in, it automatically launches Waze. Got some questions though:
1. Does having NFC on constantly use much power?
2. Is there anything to look out for when buying NFC tags?
3. When I remove the phone from cradle (and away from NFC tag) will it (out can it) switch off waze automatically?
Cheers guys

I had the same question about 1.
I've found on my xperia S that battery usage is negligible. So I keep it on.
3. I think not.. I think you need to "pair it" again and trigger the toggle. (At least that's how it works for me: get near the nfc, trigger, and then i need to pull away and close again to get a second trigger (tag is programmed to toggle previous state on any nfc event)
Thanks proposicion47, anyone else got any thoughts? Cheers
Mine seems to be borked. Tried several roms (gb, ics, jb) to no avail. Wondering if I can replace one of the boards, or its more complicated, or easily fixable..
Use z device test to check them, if I remember correct it is on flex cable by ear speaker and proximity sensor but off hand can't recall, so replacing the main flex would fix ya up... But I'll get back to you if I remember differently.

No luck on the sensor(s). Will try taking the phone apart to see if there is anything visible.
When i put the phone for charging the touch screen doesn't work properly. If i press alphabet A it just clicks many words all by itself.. Moreover i cannot unlock the pattern lock unless i remove from the charging. My phone does not recognize the touches when it is charging.. I did a factory reset and the problem started again, I did a software reinstall using pc companion and the problem started again after 5days!! Please help me!
Is it a bug?
is anyone facing a similar problem?

Yes, it happens in most of the cases..
Check the earth wiring in your house, this is main cause for the touch screen issue..
But, It doesn't happen in other phones!!!

I'm really sorry, but I could recomend you only to return the mobile to SONY MOBILE or at the shop where you bought. I think that, in fact, there's no solution to solve this problem, sorry.

This also Happens when phone is connected to PC using data cable too!!!!
A reply from brinly taylor!!!
Here is the Reply:-
Earthing. Period.
Capacitive touchscreens (the prevalent form of touchscreens these days) are quite sensitive to electric charges. Without going to deep, let's just say that non-genuine or replacement chargers might often be of poor quality which might not take proper care of earthing of residual current, and things of that sort. These residual charges can make their way up to the sensor part of the touchscreen, where these are falsely recognised as touches.
Alternatively, one can also experience this phenomena of "ghost touches" on using genuine chargers as well if the earthing circuit of the building you live in is not proper. So, those who experience this on PC-USB charging as well, your building's earthing might be the culprit.
Though earthing requirement comes into play only when some charge is being leaked somewhere inside the device, this is fairly common, and a proper earthing is always recommended. It need not necessarily mean that your particular device faulty. You'll just have to take care of the earthing.
NOTE: This might be just ONE of MANY explanations. But I found this to be the usual cause.
Hope this helps.
I also use xperia l it due voltage problem use orginal charger resolve it

But I live in Eastern Europe and my charger is with two pins - without pin for grounding or any physical possibility to touch it. Sorry, I do not want to mess with your good explanation, but for me it looks like something that "grounds" phone or touch panel itself is missing inside these phones. I can't remember exactly, but there was some mess with missing grounding by loose pin in HTC phones (unsure what model, maybe Desire S or EVO 3D). Probably this is a SoRRy's flaw in design.
