[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxickira:
First , I have an HTC Wildfire with CyanogenMOD 7.2 it works good but I face some problems

I tried to reinstall the ROM and I tried earlier versions to solve these problems but it still exists

Well , lets get in the problems … I have 2 of them

------------

1st: when I reboot my twitter somehow sign out and I have to sign in again , not only that but also the keyboards I have downloaded disabled and I have to enable them again .. I can live with that it is kind OK

but here comes the 2nd one

2nd: when I call wrong number by accident and hang up very fast before actually starting the call , the system lags and stops playing any sounds neither Music ,ringtones nor alarm . Not Only that but also when I make another call I can hear nothing and the microphone stop working so I have to reboot and it is annoying because of the 1st problem

“When I press volume up it gives me “In-call volume” and I am not making a call .. “

please help it starts to get very annoying and I have to keep that phone till the next July

hi all

first time poster long time reader :)

I am so tired of trying **** apps.

Could somebody please tell me what app works with the nexus four to allow me to touch the screen somehow to see a text message etc when it arrives??

for the first time ever I am missing the button in my iPhone that let's me hit it to see what is going on at a glance.

I just want a way to toggle the screen on without hitting the power button on the Nexus 4 :(
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stryder5:
The only way to do this is to leave the screen on, which would drain the battery. There's probably an app that would turn the screen off (or dim it), but this would keep your phone awake and drain the battery.

Someone feel free to chime in and correct me if there is such an app.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] SIGUEL:
For the Gnex there's an app called “PGM", I emailed the developer if he had intention to update the app so it works with the Nexus⁴, but sadly he doesn't have the phone yet.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] robg2008:
There is an app for that called tap tap app uses proximity sensor to lock and unlock screen.

Not positive is works on 4.2 but worth a shot.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] supguise:
Just wait for PGM to be updated for Nexus 4 support, OP; I can vouch for its greatness. You can enable double tap or slide to unlock gesture to turn the screen on. Once you get used to this, you seriously forget you have a power button.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stryder5:
It appears to work, but needs some calibration. I'm only able to get it working 30% of the time (if even).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] k1nca:

I'm waiting on a kernel that has Sweep2Wake...that would be awesome with this phone.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Vukh:
Wow I cannot believe the responses I got...

Thanks everyone!

I settled on the Smart Screen On.

Works about 75% of the time...I can live with that till something better comes along.

I don't really understand why you cannot make text msgs received light the screen up like it does on an iphone. It was so convenient to just glance at the phone and see it was work texting yet again and mutter under my breath for them to piss off and then go back to playing Xbox without ever having to touch the phone.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stryder5:
What settings did you use with Smart Screen On? I couldn't get it working.

EDIT: Nevermind, I think I was waving too fast lol.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ppeklak:
with GoSMS i always choose the option for the pop up box and the options to unlock the phone, so when it's sitting on my desk next to me it lights up
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] slinkz:
Try Light flow for that... I think you can set a custom LED color and the screen to come on with certain notifications.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] rkcckr:
Yeah I've got Light Flow. You can set the LED colour and the screen to come on with some notifications. There is a 'lite' version which should cover the basics. But if you dont use the stock messenger or use things like Whatapp, you need the paid for version.

I use it and it has great customisation BUT at the moment I can't get it to work 100% of the time. So be warned!

It will be great though once they update it for 4.2.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] CMNein:
For now I'm settling for half of the equation; screen off with a double tap. I'm using screen off and lock from Play.

I had PGM on my GN and it works very well, the developer is planning on getting an N4 the last I heard.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] krhainos:
I'm currently looking into getting the phone to wake using the volume rocker -- I'm reading that it's inside android.policy.jar and removing two lines that ignore the volume rocker button presses.

Anyone want to give it a go? I'm going to look into it this weekend.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] wngmv:
I emailed him too! That is one of the best app out there, in terms of the idea behind it. No real battery drain, but still be able to wake your device from sleep. I died a little after getting that email.

Kinda hope someone would do something like that for N4.

You can use Tasker+Secure Settings (pro version) to use the Google Now shortcut to unlock/lock the device, but there is no waking the device.

OP, if you just want to see your texts on screen when they are received, there is an app called SMS popup that will turn the screen on and show the message received without having to touch the phone.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Pyroshane:
Handcent SMS allows for a popup window when you get a text that you can reply directly from, without exiting your current app, and it can be set to turn on the screen when you get a text, and it is skin/theme-able. It's been my go-to SMS/MMS app since I started with Android.

How do you set long press button to turn off screen?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] wngmv:
Custom Roms. Or Launcher. Consider N4 doesn't always have menu button on... I'm pretty sure Nova has this option. I had mine at swipe up to lock, swipe down for notification. Failing that, you can always turn to Tasker.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ragmanchu:
I use an app called GMD gesture control which has function to swipe to turn off the device. Just need a way to swipe to turn on now.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] wngmv:
According to the PGM dev it is not an easy mod, it was actually a kernel mod. Also that app is phone specific. There is one for Galaxy nexus and one for EVO 3G but that's it. Doesn't work on others. So maybe not so easy to find an app to do that.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] EnIXmA:
Not those options are in Aokp ROM, check in navigation bar option and change the long press to power
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] willybarca:
Did anyone mention sleeptweak . it works with n4 too plus its kinda like smart stay but uses way less resources ...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fresh_TD:
You can use 3rd party messaging app like go sms pro and that gives you the ability to when ever you get a text message it will give you a pop up and you can either reply from that bubble if you want or close it or delete it
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] itpromike:
Wait so you're telling me that when I get the phone I can't make the screen turn off when I get a text or notification and I have go hit the power button each time to see what it is? That's going to suck, especially when I'm have oil or other things like that all over my hands... Not looking forward to missing that feature from my iPhone. :(
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] isangelous:
Light Flow supports turning the screen on when a notification is received.

As mentioned by fresh_TD you could also use a third party messaging program to achieve this, I think Handcent would be similar to the iPhone.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] itpromike:
Cool thanks, that was close. Something that small was almost a deal breaker for me because I wouldn't be able to work with not knowing what's going on while I'm working when I can't touch the phone. Question for you, in reading some posts people are saying the app works like 75% of the time. So there are times when literally it just won't work and I'll just miss a notification?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zephiK:
I really hope PGM makes its way to the N4 it is truly a remarkable kernel module and makes the experience so much better.

Basically, swipe left to right on screen: screen on.

Swipe right to left on navigation bar: screen off.

Uses very minimal battery life
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] isangelous:
I have only noticed the notification led was not on when I was expecting it to be once today, otherwise I haven't missed anything. I didn't realise it was an issue others were having, but the developer is actively working to fix bugs for the Nexus 4 as he has one himself.

If for some reason he didn't fix that you can still use the original apps notification too (e.g. you could set the sound and vibrate for the notification in the messaging app, and the led / screen on in light flow).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] galaxys:
Where's the setting for this? Mine does not turn on with the lite version...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Tenji7:
I use sms popup to turn on the screen and show me the message when someone text me. I can ignore it or type my reply and send it without pressing any button. It works perfectly with the stock jellybean message app. You could use handset or go sms too, but they are their own messaging app.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Richieboy67:
Not sure if this has been posted but they're is a proximity sensor app that will turn the screen on and off by placing your hand over the proximity sensor..

It might take a bit of tweaking and maybe another app to make it work with sms but I bet you could figure something out.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Xygod:
Try Handcent. It will give you hundreds of options, including what you're looking for.

Also, cannot wait for PGM!!!!!

The app named screen off and lock can turn screen off without power button.

I use Lock Screen Widget for soft power off. Now I just need to get the volume rocker to power it on...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] talhak91:
It works!

I was worried about the power button on the Nexus 4, as it doesn't seem to inspire the greatest amount of confidence in me just as a matter of design. I purchased the Smart Screen ON app for $1.28 and I must say, using the Tap and Swipe Mode is flawless. It works perfectly every single time, no problems! Does anyone know if it has any effect on battery life? I'm recommending this to everyone right now!

Sleeptweak

Sleeptweak app seems to do what you're asking for; wake display on received message if you move your phone. Very battery friendly as far as i can tell after few weeks of use.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] uberNoobZA:
Contrary to the title of op, author is looking for something that turns screen on automatically. I think that widget locker app will allow you to use volume toggle to turn on screen btw

Can you describe your settings so we can try it out? I can't seem to get it to work properly but if you've been using it for weeks maybe you've figured out its quirks? Thanks!

I am using smart screen on pro and it works almost every time. I just want ask one question that will it affect phone's proximity sensor as it keeps it on for the longer period of time? Is it bad for proximity sensor?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] kioshi:
That feature where the message received lights up the screen is a feature of an app.

I use LINE app by Japan an whenever you receive a message from someone while your phone is off, the phone screen turns on, but only shows th emessage and black background all around it. Try it ;)

I also use smart screen on app. The waving for turning phone screen off/on is a 50% hit or miss. I have to wave slowly or sometimes quick to get it to work, takes several tries....BUT it does NOT drain phone battery a lot. It uses up 11%

Awesome, thanks. This was a feature I kind of missed from my iPhone 4S especially for SMS messages.

Does SMSAwake affect battery life at all?

Edit: Now using Light Flow. Same again, does it affect battery life by much if you set messages to turn the lockscreen on?

I know CM 10.1 and a few other custom roms have the option built in, but it would be nice if there was an app or mod to wake the screen with the volume rocker for stock rooted users.

None Work

ok, so here is the thing...

not a single one of these programs work reliably on the Nexus 4.

I have tried every single one of them and none of them are dependable enough to keep installed, and one tried to burn a hole through my bed.

What's the solution to this?

Custom ROMS that I know nothing about?

Go back to my iphone with its pretty beautifully functional top mounted button that did what I needed it to do?

The app was designed for a flip cover. As soon as the proximity sensor is covered it triggers the screen to turn off. And as soon as the proximity sensor is uncovered the screen turns on. It works flawlessly with a flip cover.

Try Bricked Kernel -- Swipe to wake device. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2056527

The same functionality as PGM in Galaxy Nexus. It's a kernel modification with minimal battery drain. For me it's not as accurate as PGM but does the work better than any of the proximity or gravity sensor. Before you do that, make sure you know what you are doing.

To lock device I used gesture in Nova Launcher with Secure Settings. But you have to be on home for gesture to register.

I'm still waiting for PGM's author to get a N4 and update his app. That was an awesome invention and I want to use Franco's kernel only on my phone. That color modification is superb.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] erikwervo:
same here, im using bricked kernel for swipe to wake.

but for the screen off im using GMD gesture control. you can turn the screen off in any pages you are in.

while using bricked, you can use Nexus 4 display control to keep the great color modification.

try this setting. its the best so far.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] m3nster:
I really love this kernel, especially the sweep2wake function! I love it! It works every time!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] wngmv:
Ah thanks I didn't know Nexus 4 Display Control worked with Bricked kernel.

BTW I used LMT for locking device (it's free) and also hiding nav bar. Just love the gestures compared to volume button or proxi sensor.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Burrro:
I did a Tasker profile which turns the screen on for 10 seconds in case of a new notification. So i can check the notification while me phone is lying on the desk and i dont need to touch it. After 10 seconds the screen turns off. If i pull the notifationbar down then the screen wont turn off, because i maybe want to read the entire message, want to answer or whatever. Maybe this is a solution for your problem?

Excuse my bad english :p
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Richieboy67:
Honestly my friend, my advice would just be to be strong and try to cope with pushing the button to turn the screen on when you see you have a message. Using any other method will use battery.

We are talking a single push here. You can do it. I know it. If things get to unbearable for you pushing that button just post and we will talk you through. We are all here for you.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Vukh:

While I appreciate the support man, the only reason I wanted this in the first place is because I have one of the N4s with the "defective" power button :(

It feels like a bowl full of jelly when I push it... very squishy and doesnt even really click or anything.

I would send it back but then im stuck for weeks and weeks without my wonderful phone :(
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jutezak:
The proximity sensor uses a bit of power, but not very much. According to Androsensor it is 12.7 mA, which is more than compass, orientation and gyroscope combined. The battery is 2100 mAh, which means that sensor alone will use 14% of your battery in 24 hours.

That it seems to be much more for the app is probably because it is running all the time to watch the sensor.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] kristoff125:
I would HIGHLY recommend a ROM with a volume unlock, CM, AOKP, and PA all come to mind, I'm sure many others support it as well. It's a feature I love, not because my power button doesn't work, but the volume rocker is much easier and more responsive.

Also when you RMA they send you a new phone. They don't fix your phone, it might be a refurb they send you, but it's "less defective" I think. You don't send your phone out until a "new" one comes to your doorstep.

I wouldn't trust it to withstand submersion, but most phones nowadays can take a splash or spill pretty well. Even better if you have a case around it. A teardown showed that the case does have a rubber gasket, so water shouldnt' sneak in through there, but the ports might provide a way in, or at least short out.
