I agree. I've rarely (less than weekly) had a problem I could attribute to TouchControl, and even then I'm not sure it's a TouchControl problem vs. a kernel or Android problem. This, by the way, is on Franco kernel. Hey, this is a $3 app. $3! To say it's not worth $3 is crazy. TouchControl features are the first thing I show to people when I show them my N4, and they uniformly think it's cool. I think it's easily worth $3 and is the main reason I switched from stock kernel on 4.2.2 (before the modules-enabled stock kernel was put out there).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] orangekid:
I'm on aokp without changing kernels and I have never had this issue, so I can see how it would be hard to reproduce.

Touch mods can be very hard to debug, especially when this is a kernel-level mod that can have different effects on every kernel, so to completely debug every issue on every kernel is an unrealistic hope. Adding support for a new kernel is A LOT easier than attempting to debug an issue that only some are having on specific kernel(s).

I remember on my Galaxy Nexus it was the same thing, some kernels responded better than others. At the end of the day if you really want this app bugless, you might just switch to a kernel that others are reporting to work flawlessly, because if the kernel dev makes any changes to their kernel, it might change the way PGM behaves too.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Roastmeat:
We should start a poll to see the kernels that have the most/least common occurance of this bug
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] orangekid:
That's a good idea, you might do that in the general or Q&A, maybe with the most common kernels or something. That way if nothing else someone can just switch kernels if they have unexplained bugs.

Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

When I reboot the phone the issue is gone, and it appears to come back after I throw my phone into my pocket for a while, there might be some weird contact response to the phone in the pocket or something like that, causing it to make the edges unresponsive, Idk am no expert...

Also the problem is not that there is not a solution yet, the problem is that I felt that the dev had no apparent intention of fixing it, I mean I bought this app long ago and I've read the forum and almost no feedback on this, good to see him now responding to the issue, it is real and as much as I love the app I can't work with the edges of my screen unresponsive, some people can, they don't have gestures to perform actions so they don't "feel" the problem, even when it is there, so the correct thing to do is to get together and find a way to reproduce this so the dev can start seeing what is causing it and fix it, but in order to that we needed his response, now we have it, let's get to it... Any opinions would be appreciated,

Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

about the screen edge swiping functions not working bug (swipepad, PIE, side panel stuffs, chrome quick switch tab, etc)

not giving reproduce steps here, but ive tested my hypothesis for a week and noticed something.

before i did anything, i experience the bug ~10 times a day, as frequent as once in 10 minutes to once in an hour.

then i noticed that slide2wake's Y(px) is an unspecified value, -1. i somehow suspect that these unspecified values easily confuses these stupid devices and cause problems.

then i changed it to 1300 (about the mid point of the portrait height) and threshold to 1300. as the top edge of the screen is 0 and bottom is about 2600, the functionality is totally unaffected by this setting. however, the bug still occurred frequently.

after that i changed the threshold to 1000. that means the top 300 px and bottom 300 px are ignored, but we usually dont use those to wake the screen, because we swipe around the middle of the screen.

some magic happened - given that i did not change my usage patterns much (i use swipepad as much as my applist button in my home launcher, because im a student using alot of dictionary and note app where they are assigned in swipepad), the frequency of the bug happening had decreased alot. well the sad news is that it still does happen, but is around once per day or even 2 days. it has been a week.

hope my stupid discovery can help give some insights, and i encourage those who experience similar problem to try my settings as well. (swipe2wake Y px start 1300/1400 end 1300/1400 - threshold 1000)

for all of you's information, if you encounter this particular screen edge bug, you dont have to reboot for the edges to work again. you just have to:

disable module

power button screen off

power button screen on

enable module

thanks bponury for your hard work and i wish you the best luck on fixing the problem :)

Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

Nice research Miasmic. I've used touch control ever since it came out and I've never experienced this problem. These are my settings, you swipe from bottom to up.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] yoft1:
Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

I may be wrong but I believe that -1 is actually an acceptable value. In programming values like those are used for exceptions and in this case the -1 value means that it accepts the entire screen input with no limit to thresholds. If you set it to positive values you can limit where it accepts swipe2wake but with -1 it accepts it anywhere.

That's not to say that that setting isn't causing problems, I just want to point out that -1 is an accepted, programmed value.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Hanny:
Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

yup i know, of course that is and i was just talking in my stupid language :p "unspecified" i meant "accepting anything"

together with my observation that 1300 start end + 1300 threshold is also giving similar frequency of the bug occuring, the common thing with -1 is that they accept the top and bottom edge, to the maximum. and when i limit the values to not allowing the top& bottom edges to be included in swipe2wake, things have been improved :)

Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

Hey bponury,

Its been a while since I posted here so I thought I'd just inquire about the battery leakage issue. Any updates on it? I love the features of the app and was one of the early users who used and subsequently spotted the drainage.

Its an amazing app and functionality works great for me. Just wondering how the drainage issue is going. I believe at one point you mentioned redoing the app from the ground up if I remember correctly but not sure. Any feedback would be much appreciated.. Thanks again!

Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

Okay I was able to reproduce the edge sensitivity problem using the app Glovebox! Here's the thing:

Place your Palm(or extended thumb) on the edge of the screen and swipe in(glovebox will be triggered) just a little bit so u can see a little bit of the side launcher, DO NOT RELEASE YOU PALM/THUMB, leave it like that for a few seconds, then release, now u shouldn't be able to trigger glovebox again.

So my conclusion is that when there is a wide area of contact (palm/extended thumb) on the edge, the app is somehow receiving too much input information, it's unable to process it and turns off the edges.. Hey I'm no expert I'm just saying what sounds logical! The issue wasn't so hard to reproduce, Well I hope now we can have this fixed, I love this app but this issue makes it impossible to deal with!

AW: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

With Actions (there's a free light version - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sigmacel.actionsworksfree) it is possible to disable touch2wake (and other options from Touch Control) when a call is outgoing or incoming.

You'll have to set it to execute a script when a call begins and to execute another script when the end of the call is detected.

The script for disabling touch2wake would be

echo enabled 0 > /proc/ponury/g_touch2wake

, to enable it you'll have to use a 1 instead of the 0. Other settings such as doubletap2wake can be disabled by adding another action to be executed in the same specified profile.

You'll have to set two profiles, one for outgoing calls and one for incoming calls. The option to run a script can be found under "Misc->Run shell" when specifying the action to perform. You will probably have to tick "Run as root" for each command.

Why u guys keep flashing latest faux, francos, etc kernels every freaking day ?! Do you really need it? Cmon man I used francos nightly 53 for like two months and just a few days ago upgraded to milestone 1...

My point is that this app has several bugs, major bugs, I already uploaded a video and posted it here showing how to reproduce the screen edges getting unresponsive, and bponury didn't even comment on it(I don't think he even saw my post), how is he gonna fix the bugs if he has to keep making his app compatible with the freaking latest kernels because u guys are addicted to flashing every day...

OK, so I bought the app yesterday. And last night I had a drain of 8% instead of 0% with wifi and data off.

I just did a search in this topic and it's a known problem. This should be mentioned in the OP.

That's happening if you enable touch2wake and/or doubletap2wake, has been discussed earlier in this thread. Solution is to:

Either disable any of the two you have enabled completely (swipe2wake and swipe2lock are working without that bug).

Or disable touch2wake and/or doubletap2wake every time you make or receive a phone call and re-enable them/it afterwards.

If you have tasker you apparently can set it to disable the two options for you. If you - like me - don't have tasker and don't want to buy it just for that reason you can achieve the same like this:
