Uploaded 1.5.1 to XDA and Google Play.

- We think we fixed crashes.

- App now will be available for Nexus 7 in Google Play.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Uploaded 1.5.2

- Tuned sensitivity, rotation now will be more sensitive than before, in par with stock rotation

- Fixed wrong rotations, when sometimes device rotates in wrong orientation.

Does it still happen if you only disable Smart Rotate, but leave service running?
[Android Apps and Games] .A.J.:
Any luck optimizing the list scrolling for setting custom per app functionality? Also I have the lock home screen option checked but it still does the 180 degree rotation (upside down).

Edit: this is on 1.5.1
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Please try 1.5.4. Home screen should be fixed.

Hadn't chance to optimize app list yet.
[Android Apps and Games] .A.J.:
It's still happening in 1.5.2 that I just got from Play. I have the don't rotate home option checked in options and the app default set to portrait.

Edit: I just saw that you attached 1.5.4 to the op. I've been installing from Play store. Will it cause me problems with app or pro license if I just install the apk from the op?
[Android Apps and Games] elroy944:
is it possible to add a nice rotation animation in the app? so that every time it rotates to landscape or portrait it rotates with style (kinda miss that from my iphone, apple did there some really good work)
[Android Apps and Games] .A.J.:
1.5.4 showed up in the Play store and the undesired home rotation is fixed. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] mdcykkk9:
Latest version broke it for me... Can't rotate 360 degrees. Only 270. When my tablet is upside down in portrait mode, the screen rotates wrong.. XOOM 2 media edition...
[Android Apps and Games] DHM47:
Congratulation on the xda-portal ,android police and GSMArena reviews :good:

I have not used the last week and now i saw the update

First with force rotate 0 and 180 mean 180 .

In the per app setting when i choose an app it rotates 180 if rotate is 0.( 180,90,270 are fine).

When sensor is in 0 and camera is 90 the screen rotation will be 90 which is correct but if you rotate the device upside down the sensor 180 camera 270 screen rotation well remain 90.

The smart stay opens the camera too often it's checking even when I'm using the device

1.5.5:

- Optimized app list

- Some bug fixes

I did rough optimization of app list. Its still not completely fluent but should be much better than before. I will fix it properly for upcoming updates.

I know what change could cause it and I'm reviewing it why it would not rotate into 180 on some devices.

Thank you for detailed feedback. Did you try presetting rotation for Portrait or Landscape. You can select in setting that for Portrait application would always set Portrait or Reverse portrait no matter which portrait orientation is suggested by accelerometer. Does it help to fix 0 degree position? You are right about Smart Stay, now it just checks with constant period. I will see if I can detect user actions and skip checks in that case.

As for reviews, I think its fair to say we were not ready :o Oh well, we continue working on app. As for future plans we decided that we are not able to keep settings completely simple anyway so we will expose more settings like rotation degrees threshold (from what degree device should initiate rotation), "flat" position threshold etc. So users can fine tune if they want to. Also adding an option how Smart Rotate should work - rotate back after horizontal face position is detected (current method, faster initial rotation) or confirm each rotation beforehand (less chaotic and still fast enough on new devices).

Thanks, that was funny :D. I will try to take a bus and see if I can reproduce it :o

Does it happens when Smart Rotate is off? We are reviewing all SmartRotate algorithm and looking for new/better way to incorporate it. I don't want to go much into details, but current problem is that in some rare cases we don't know in what screen orientation was when we detected face and then we may do wrong assumption about how screen needs to rotate. Usually even with wrong rotation it should recover on next accelerometer event.
[Android Apps and Games] DHM47:
I'm using a tablet so 0 and 180 are landscape

I was testing when it gets stuck and some how it got fixed ?!! I don't know what exactly happened one second its broken the other its fixed :confused:

You can add the exposed settings in an advanced tab and keep the basic setting for the average users
[Android Apps and Games] mdcykkk9:
Can i have 1.5.1 apk file. The last two updates break the only feature that was working great(force rotate). My tablet don't rotate correct in portrait (can't rotate when you hold it upside down). Also when i hold it in landscape position and run application my tablet goes in portrait (very annoying). The smart screen feature is very unreliable. The program as it is now is not useful at all...
[Android Apps and Games] aallialyssa:
hehehe

i tried installing it on my S-5570 and it does boost up my rotation hehehe...
[Android Apps and Games] dakunesu:
issue with current version, when I rotate to 270(bottom of phone on the left) it sometimes orientates to 90, and then sometimes flickers to 270, then to 180.

this is cleared app settings and rotating via shortcuts rotate left and right with no smart rotation, no screen on enabled.

edit: tested with smart rotate enabled, it detects, toasts up camera rotate 270, but still fails.

my device is a nexus 4 with bricked kernel
[Android Apps and Games] mdcykkk9:
Any news on when an update is coming?
[Android Apps and Games] rdavis429:
I highly doubt it, seeing that the app was last updated less than a month ago.

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version 2.0.0

I uploaded new version

2.0.0:

- Redesigned application.

- Fixed issues with camera application.

- Added reverse modes.

- Added mode to turn Smart Rotate off.

- Android rotation lock now is taken into account and when it is 'locked' Smart Rotate is locked too.

I didn't post much lately as we were rewriting the application. Initial idea to change stock rotation with smart rotation was not working in some cases, like Camera application. On some devices it was too slow, so again - inconvenient. So we sit and think again how to properly incorporate it and decided it will be better if it is just one of the modes. So now there are 6 modes:

1) Smart rotate: OFF - this is stock Android rotation.

2) Smart rotate: ON - automatic rotation that forces all applications to rotate. If camera use is enabled it will use front facing camera to confirm rotation, so it won't rotate screen when you are lying in bed. Also it takes into account rotation lock (android) setting, so you can lock rotation in any orientation even for apps that do not support rotation by default. If camera use is disabled in settings it will work similar to stock rotation, but will force all applications to rotate.

3) Portrait

4) Reverse Portrait

5) Landscape

6) Reverse Landscape

Reverse modes were asked by many users so we added them and screen will not rotate by accelerometer anymore when in any of portrait/landscape mode. Old 'force' setting was removed and now all modes from 2 to 6 force rotation. Mode 1 does not force rotation as it is stock rotation.

Camera automatically will not be used for if applications that uses camera is running. This solved camera application fc on all our devices, so let me know if you still have problems.

So now it is possible to run stock rotation (mode 1) as global setting and only force portrait/landscape or enable Smart Rotation just for particular applications.

Let me know what you think about this change and if you have some suggestions.

P.S: If screen rotates in wrong orientation on your device with this new version, please post here. I cannot reproduce it but I want to fix this on devices where it is happening. But since a lot of code changed please try again this latest version.
[Android Apps and Games] .A.J.:
Did you also upload it to the Play store? I just reinstalled the app there & it's the old one. I know the Play store takes a while to actually show the updated apps.

Edit: I got it from the Play store. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
It is not supposed to open settings app and it does not open it on my devices :confused:. Only dialog should be displayed on top of current running app. I will review the code and try to fix this.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version 2.1.0

Uploaded new version:

2.1.0:

- Added Smart Portrait and Smart Landscape modes.

In these modes orientation is locked in portrait or landscape, but still can rotate to normal orientation and reverse.

We reviewed this idea and in 2.x smart rotation is again tuned by stock rotation algorithm, so basically if face is not detected rotation should work similar to stock. We will allow users to change rotation thresholds in the future. Don't forget that you can always select first option (Smart Rotate: OFF) as default which is stock rotation per se.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Its our algorithm :o

I tweaked some parameters in 2.1.0, let me know did it reduce false rotations.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Uploaded new version:

2.2.0:

- Added mode buttons to notification.

- Updated button icons.

- Improved inadvertent rotation filter in Smart Rotation mode.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
1) We will reintroduce this setting, but we need to update it. Now it will apply only for Smart Rotate as other modes already have all options accessible in the dialog. So we will add option to disable particular orientations for Smart Rotate.

2) Force was too confusing for many users and we opted to add Smart Rotate Off mode instead. This mode never forces rotation.
[Android Apps and Games] matsuru:
Can GMD smart rotate includes lock screen rotation?

currently it doesn't affect lock screen. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] dakunesu:
it should, maybe not using the camera but i know if you use rotate left/right shortcuts it does.
[Android Apps and Games] pulsation:
Greetings :) first, thank you for this application. I just bought the pro version to replace some of Samsung's functionalities on cyanogenmod. And it's working great :P

However, it looks like firefox (version 19) prevents smart rotate to work correctly. I could not find any related post in this thread, hence this one.

Did anyone else experience this problem?

Cheers.

Edit : forgot to mention that when activating toasts, they don't appear when firefox is launched. Doesn't look like to be related to full screen apps as it works well with moon reader.

We will add this.

Thanks, I will take a look. Is firefox any good now? It used to lag a lot, so I don't use it lately.
[Android Apps and Games] pulsation:
Thank you :)

Well, Firefox mobile became way better in my opinion, though there's still room for improvement. As a big fan of Opera mobile for ages since I began to use it with windows mobile 6, it's the first time I drop it for anything else, even after having tested other ones (dolphin, boat brower, chrome...)
[Android Apps and Games] soulesschild:
Just bought it to support your app, have all your apps now:)

Noticed that on my GN2, when I have use camera for smart rotate, I cannot use my camera. I get a "Camera Failed"

Turn it off and camera works as normal.

Any ideas? GN2 VZW

Can someone tell me how well this works in complete dark rooms? I like reading ebooks in the dark and this sounds like a good alternative, but from experience the camera isn't great in the dark, are there a back up method??
[Android Apps and Games] mbze430:
for some reason today Smart Rotate isn't so smart anymore... today, whenever I turn the phone landscape and face the front camera away from me, it WILL go to landscape and vise versa for portrait. I have Smart Rotate: On as global.

When I try to click on "Send Log..." it first tells me it will give me a choice which app to send it with.. but then nothing happens... click on it the 2nd time, nothing happens

Using the Show toast... when the front camera is away from a face, it say "Camera: Face not detected" then "Rotate (Camera):Rotation 90" or "Rotate (Camera):Rotation 270"

and then it proceed to turn to landscape.
[Android Apps and Games] mspohr:
Works on Omate TrueSmart (except camera)

The GMD Smartrotate does allow me to flip the screen to wear my watch on the right wrist. The only problem is that the camera image is upside down. It does flip the controls and menus for the camera app but the camera image is not flipped and is upside down. All the other apps seem to be flipped just fine. (Oh well, at least when I show pictures to other people, it will be right side up for them.)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logi_Ca1:
This is perhaps the biggest issue plaguing my phone.

I'm getting intermittent periods of the above mentioned, when my signal strength indictor is good and it's showing that I'm either on 3G or H+, but whatever I'm on doesn't seem to load. Browser, Reddit is Fun, XDA app or even Whatsapp. In the same areas my Galaxy S2 consistently loads data while my Nexus 4 seems to just sit there doing nothing. Anyone have any ideas on what's the cause of this?

PS: I tried looking for some sort of email to contact Google and possibly send it back, but strangely I can't find anything!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Not sure what your issue is but its easy to contact Google.

Go to the play store on a PC ( could do it on a browser from your phone as well ) and go down to the bottom of the page and find my orders and settings. From there all your apps and devices show up. Go the the nexus 4 and help. From there you should find all the ways to contact Google.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
Do you have the same issues while on wifi? If you do then I would think it was an issue with the phone, if not then there's something wrong with your service plan apn settings. Are you sure you set your service plan up correctly in the phone's settings?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logi_Ca1:
My device doesn't even show up on that list :p I think I'm gonna try to use a VPN to spoof my location and see if I can get the contact email. I suspect contact emails aren't showing up because my country is not one of the official countries where the device is launched in.

The phone works perfectly fine on Wi-Fi. As for the APN settings, that has occured to me but as I understand it they are loaded on my SIM card by my provider and I'm pretty sure they are correct.

Looks like I'm gonna have to send it back somehow. I'm hoping it's a software issue that can get fixed relatively easily.

Are you with TMobile? I had a similar issue and I called up TMobile tech support and they reprovisioned/reprogrammed my data and while I've still had some data dropouts, they're not nearly as frequent as before.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyboy76:
Are you sure it's not your APN? I had a similar issue and assumed the APNs would be right from my provider. I looked them up online and entered a new APN. That fixed it for me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logi_Ca1:
I'm actually on Singtel, in Singapore. I guess it won't help to call them and ask for advice.

I will check it again, but then if my APN was wrongly configured I think my mobile data won't work 100% of the time right?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zonedguy:
I'm having this exact same problem but only in one specific location.

My signal on Tmo is good everywhere. The bars show medium to full strength and that is backed up by the reported metrics in Phone Info and Settings. However data is next to unusable at my office near Times Square. I only get "bursts" of data and if I try to use the browser, refresh mail, open Twitter, check FB, etc, the connection times out. At home, around Manhattan, and around the country Tmo gives me great HSPA+ speeds. I have checked my APN settings and they are corect.

Any thoughts?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logi_Ca1:
Sounds pretty much like what I was experiencing. I see that the latest few CM10.1 nightlies have several HSPA commits. I'm gonna give the latest nightly a go and see if it helps. Was on CodeFireX BR10.1 during all these.

Edit: Observing the behavior of my signal icon, it seems that it idles at 3G. If I touch a link or initiate any action that loads data, it stays on 3G for a while before switching to H or H+. I'm wondering if the problem lies during this "transition" period.

Edit2: 5 minutes into the 13122012 nightly, I'm noticing that the phone stays on H+ much longer and the transition from 3G to H+ is much faster now. Will monitor and report back!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logi_Ca1:
Just an update: After one day of usage I can safely say the problem is gone. Flashing to the 13122012 nightly of CM10.1 fixed it. I'm not sure what particular commit fixed it though.

Anyway, the configuration of my phone when the problem occured was CodeFireX BR10.1 and franco r13. I'm currently on CM10.1 13122012 and franco r14.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdviper:
Same thing here. I have a rma unit coming in a few minutes or so, and I'll test it out. This happens to me around Midtown as well. The data speeds in Manhattan are at a crawl though around peak but that doesn't explain why it stops downloading data when there is full service and a stable data connection.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

OK so I have the RMA unit in hand and it looks like its been used before but I can't really tell. The reason is because the screen protectors are off and there's no little part to grab and remove it. And the screen had looked like it had been wiped before.

Other than that, its running 4.2 and the data seems stable for now. Still need to test with something else.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b4d5h0t:
Hi all just received my note 10.1 yesterday and I'm very pleased overall with the hardware of the unit but I think android could do with updating more apps to a tablet style layout as I already own a note 2 and everything looks much the same just bigger it would be nice to see app layouts designed better taking more advantage of the larger screen.

Anyway my question is... I noticed the transformer tablets seem to have a different style of YouTube layout which I think looks pretty funky

Hollo dear developers,

I have a concern about accessing all Google Play Services from non authorized countries. I think it's a shame there are so many people in so many countries prevented from bying content on play store. Thought first of a petition, but not sure it can have effects. Had a look on xda, there is already a old thread on the subject but not working for most of the repliers, specially me.

Thought some developers would be interested in giving acces to a larger number of people. Looks like more justice to me.
