Anyone knows a command to turn off kindle wireless? It's probelty a lipc command.
NVM, found it: "lipc-get-prop com.lab126.wan powerState" shows the power status 0 = off 1 = on 3 = powering on 4 = powering off (there might be more, but those are the ones I saw) "lipc-set-prop com.lab126.wan startWan 1" starts wireless "lipc-set-prop com.lab126.wan stopWan 1" stops wireless Code:
if [ `lipc-get-prop com.lab126.wan powerState` -ne 1 ]; then lipc-set-prop com.lab126.wan startWan 1 else lipc-set-prop com.lab126.wan stopWan 1 fi Last edited by yifanlu; 12-26-2010 at 10:37 PM. |

Cool, but why would you want to do this when you could just set a hotkey string
Open Menu, Up on Five Way, Press Five Way Plus, that'll take care of the top bar. Quote:

Well, I guess not in active content.. but it would work in books, the home page, the browser, and many other pages. If you want to make it work on all things:
Home -> Menu -> FW Up -> FW Click -> Back That'd be a foolproof way if you want it to work on everything. It'd just be slower. |

I keep getting an Error 3 - I have a K3 3G (UK [B00A]) and so am putting update_launchpad_0.0.1a_k3gb_install.bin in the root of my Kindle and reseting. Is this right?
Jailbroken ages ago so no issue there |

I seem to be missing something. I can't seem to get it to install in my new Kindle 3 (ver 3.0.2 (553210206)). Here's what I tried:
Downloaded lpad-pkg.tar.gz and launchpad.tar.gz to my Debian Linux box. opened lpad-pkg.tar.gz and copied lpad-pkg/update_launchpad_0.0.1a_k3w_install.bin to the root of the kindle ( on my machine it's /media/kindle/ ) On the Kindle, I go to home->menu->settings->menu->update your kindle, select it, select OK and the update progress bar proceeds to about 15 - 20% and then "update failed" and it reboots. Am I supposed to do something with launchpad.tar.gz as well? What am I missing? |

On the K3 (not sure about previous models), you can avoid opening the Sym menu and instead use Alt-Q=1, Alt-W=2. If you would implement that, it would make typing in numbers a lot faster =)

thanks for your great work
sorry for my silly question, where should I unzip lpad-pkg-xxx.zip, somewhere means any place in kindle directory?
- unpack the attached lpad-pkg-xxx.zip archive somewhere - select the Kindle update package for your device model and copy it to your device under user root directory [/mnt/us] - apply the standard Amazon Kindle update procedure |
