Xperia U How to Disable Illumination Bar

I've got my new Sony Ericcson Xperia U yesterday and it is really a fantastic phone. The illumination bar on the bottom can be annoying at times, specially if you don't want to get all that attention all the time.
I've tested a few applications in order to disable the bar led illumination, and here is the only one that has worked for me (Screen Filter):
Just make sure that you uncheck "Enable soft-key bakclight" and that will disable the led  bottom bar.

Nevertheles this will not desactivate all led notifications, you will still get notifications while browsing pictures or watching videos, but all the other notifications will dissapear.

    I think I've tried that one too, but it seems to me that it modified my screen brightness configuration which I didn't like.
    Well, now I've got another smartphone ;)

Repair Dolce Gusto Circolo Leaking Problem

Image
My Dolce Gusto coffee machine started leaking without even plugin in to the socket. Water was leaking at the base, the tank would get completely empty in a few seconds, so I dismounted the back cover to see. Use a Torx tool.  Fisrt start removing the two screws down besides the reservoir connector. Down there you see the join inside the water connector. That small rubber joint was apparently in a good shape but the problem really came from it. I took the small water filter and descaled it by diping it in white vinegar for a few minutes. Then I took a rubber tap joint from my tool box and put it on top of the rubber joint as you see it in the circle. Then I mounted all back again and it works! The joint was just too used, and you can replace it with a tap rubber joint, just find the right size. Descale the coffe machine This is always a good thing to do every two or three months to keep the inside clean. I descaled completely by filling the water tank with a mix...

I have just rooted my Nook Simple Touch and it works really well. The screen quality is better than some other android readers which are really expensive on the market. After rooting everything flows and works fine, even browsing with Opera Mini.

How to Change the Gear Shift Knob of the Peugeot 306

Image
Well, last week the gear shift knob of my car got teared down in my hand as I was driving as you can see it in the picture. It was so really broken that the official knob from Peugeot would not fit anymore. The good thing about it is that now I can replace it by a nice one. But it was a real pain to figure out how to dismount it, the main thing is to lift up the leather bag around it first, from the bottom and then turn the knob twice to the left and then pull from it till it comes off . As you can see the white base support was broken too, so I had to dismount the whole thing and look for an universal knob to replace it. Well here is the gear shift itself all alone, I had to stick around it a piece of plastic and then tighten it up with a wire (I did this with my pliers to hold it tight), so that the leather bag will not move down later. Here is the new knob, it has a nice fairy on it, well, I know you are smiling :) but it was the only one in the store one that fitted...
