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

Tried this on franco and matr1x kernel. Sometimes it gives me a freezing touch screen and i had to reboot.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jan.ringas:
That's strange, I have experienced this just when touch2wake and/or doubletap2wake was enabled.

I have no idea what might cause that behaviour in your case then - maybe the free version is not up to date with the paid version? Most current version of the paid app is 1.6b.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stryder5:
Has the latest update been pushed out to the Play store yet? If so, does it include the updated modules for Faux's kernel? I only see v1.6a for Franco kernel.

Latest update is from 26.3 for me (paid). Is that the correct version for faux? In Apps it says its 1.6b, so i think thats the correct version?!

Seems compatible with Faux 012. Looks like the other's were correct about the missing changelog.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mierda1:
Agreed! Until its fixed please bponury can you change the answer? Or you can put "Long answer to some cases: In some cases it might drain 1% by hour."

I have 0-1% drain by night wihout TC, but with TC it drains 8-10% (1% by hour aprox.) because of standby. I have Nexus 4 with franco kernel r102.

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

Is normal the phone reboot when update the app from playstore? It happened with the 1.6 and 1.6b updates. I don't make an update with 1.6a.

I'm on slimbean and franco kernel.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] santeana:
Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

Actually with a properly set up Franco kernel it's quite common. Check his thread. Franco himself loses 1% over a 10 hour night and in 9hrs last night I also lost just 1%..

And yes I too found it much harder on battery with touch control on. It sucks too, because I really love that mod
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stryder5:
That's still not 0% ;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] cocchiararo:
thank you for agreeing with me that 0% over any period of time is imposible with the phone ON.

I was just being a ***** tho :P

The 8% overnight is really unimportant cause people can actually CHARGE overnight.

I wonder why people are not complaining that it adds more drain... all the time, when it does matter XD
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] romeoliny:
Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

People aren't complaining about more drain all of the time because its a lot easier to measure when its overnight as you have a much more stable point of comparison.

Although people can/do normally charge overnight that doesn't change the fact that the app is draining the battery once its off the charger, shortening standby time. So that's not the answer IMO.

Overnight its normally just sitting there. The problem isn't just overnight but that's the easiest point of reference. I was one of the first to point this issue out despite many people telling me I'm insane Lol.

In the end, the issue was recognized by the dev and he's working on a fix. Its a great feature and most of those complaining are still using the app because its awesome. Doesn't mean it couldn't be better if that drain is fixed.

I don't think anyone is expecting the same 1-2% drain over 8hrs but if it were only slightly higher that would mean a world of difference I think.

(The issue is being worked on by bponury)

Just saying,

Rome

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

Any chance you could add a widget that allow us to turn on and of the module?

I found that turning off the module at night saves the battery as it not used at all. Widget on the home screen will make it much easier to control.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stryder5:
Bponury is already reworking the app from the ground up.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mko000:
Same here. I've been running it for a few days now - no unresponsive lockscreen for me so far. I had it almost every day before. I'm running _motley's kernel and have only doubletap2wake enabled.

EDIT:

Damn it, now I just had one. After turning the display off and on a few times I managed to get a partially response screen. I was able to unlock the phone but I couldn't do anything after that. I was able to reboot from the lockscreen though after turning the screen off and on a few times again.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] dark_ente:
I also have the same experience, when at night my phone is on air plane mode so it drains almost no battery, 0-1% normally.

With touch control it drop from 73% to 68% last night, then drop again to 66% when I start using the phone.

That means roughly 1%/h

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jan.ringas:
@bponury: Did you change something with the recent updates regarding the proximity sensor? I used to disable touch2wake and doubletap2wake on incoming calls via tasker since sometimes my face was triggering the display to come on and afterwards ending the call. I now experience the bug that when these two modules are disabled the phone responds to touches when the screen is turned off by the proximity sensor.

Steps to reproduce:

Make sure Touch Control is enabled

Make sure touch2wake and doubletap2wake are disabled

Start a phone call

Hover your finger over the hangup button to mark its location

Cover the proximity sensor to turn off the display

Put down your finger where you marked the hangup button

--> The phone call will be dropped

If I completely disable Touch Control (manually or via Tasker by executing

echo disabled > /proc/ponury/status

) the bug does not happen. Unfortunately I can't enable Touch Control after the phone call is ended by executing

echo enabled > /proc/ponury/status

. If I do so the status file is changed, but the other files do not appear in /proc/ponury/.

When I check in Touch Control everything seems to look ok (i.e. enabled), but the screen does not respond to swiping. Only if I manually disable and enable Touch Control from within the app Touch Control is enabled (and the other files reappear in /proc/ponury).

Any help / idea?

Edit: Got it to work, you need to execute

echo disable > /proc/ponury/status

and

echo enable > /proc/ponury/status

. Happy easter to anyone reading this!

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

I don't know what you're talking about. I set my settings exactly like this and it does NOT unlock the device. Only wakes it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] idle0095:
Mine unlocks it fine. I set the X values to 768 so it would only slide up from the bottom in the middle of the screen.

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

Why would this unlock anyway? It's a slide to wake gesture. Doesn't unlock for me.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stryder5:
If done right, it should hit the lock button on the way up to unlock your phone in one motion. Obviously, the lock button is not present if you have security pin/pattern enabled.

I mean it unlocks to the lock screen. But yes if done right it will hit the unlock button and unlock.

Well I can tell u when I slide up from the bottom it goes to the lock screen 99% of the time. Some times it does hit the lock screen target and unlocks the device.

Anyone else getting this? The touchscreen is dead on the left and right ends of the screen in portrait. A reboot fixes it for a little while but it comes back. I can confirm this only occurs using touchcontrol.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Jens1969:
Re: [APP/MOD] TouchControl (a.k.a. PGM Nexus, a.k.a. Slide2Wake) - forget the buttons

@bponury: if you are going to recode this app, can you please add a) a configurable low battery limit to auto-disable this mod? And b) a configurable battery delta-discharge limit?

Hint a): If I leave my phone without charging overnight, might prevent it turning off after a few hours.

Hint b) : if my battery discharges at a rate of 8% per hour, disable this mod. This way the pocket-battery-drain might be reduced.

Thanks,

Jens

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

Well I've never had any. Been using it since it released. Disable double tap and try with slide to wake. Also battery drain isn't that significant. I can live with it. Only request is that if feasible, a widget or some scheduling method could be provided. Or a tasker condition perhaps? That would be great.

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

I can confirm that. When i have the phone in the pocket the battery drain is very huge.

Will see how will be the new app, but for now i uninstall it because it have to much troubles like this battery drain when the phone is in the pocket, lockscreen freeze and also navbar freeze.

I use slimbean and tried with franco kernel and trinity.

Hope the new app will have fixed that things because is a great feature, but unusable with issues like this.

On the road with my Nexus...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jan.ringas:
I'm using "State" --> "Phone" --> "Call" (Type "Any") to trigger disabling Touch Control.

To reenable it after ending a call I added an "Exit Task" by long-pressing on the task which disables Touch Control (in the Profiles tab).

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Foxnov1990:
Also experiencing lockups / freezes. Like the digitizer just refuses to work (until reboot). the buttons work just fine still.

At first I thought it was a kernel issue (might be cause of Franco and his newest update r116) but seeing several ppl are experiencing issues with freezes like I have, I'm pretty sure its TouchControl.

For reference, it doesn't happen with r111, it's just silky smooth sailing there. Just on r116 it occurs.

But overall an awesome app!

Do you have tap to wake enabled? I think someone mentioned this caused problems for them.

Wow, you really don't give anyone time, do you?

The last app update was March 26th, which was just over a week ago. Give the guy some time. Developing this app isn't his full time job. This is something he does on the side.

On top of that, it's already been stated he's taking time to rework the app completely. Updates for now will only consist of minor updates for kernel compatibility. As far as that is concerned, he's been pretty quick about it.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ftarules:
Here is a thought: What if the OP makes the code open source, then the kernel devs will have to make sure that the kernel behaves normally with the Touch control app. There can still be a donate version of the app. Look at Faux and the gamma correction as well as Sound control modules.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Foxnov1990:
Not sure if bug reports are irrelevant. Because on his blog / forum he continually asks ppl if they know a way to reproduce the lockup / freeze of the phone due to the app.

So I have to say I can't say how to reproduce as it's totally random that it happens. Sometimes 1-3 in a timespan of an hour and sometimes half a day without freezes...

Specs: Stock rooted ROM

Franco Kernel (both r111 and r117, jungling between stable and new)

No tap to wake on btw

- Did notice that on r117 the lockups occure really fast, while on r111 is way less but still 2-3 a day

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

Same here . Was getting roughly 5 hr screen on time with all the kernels I tried, but what you need to understand is that stock kernel spends a lot of time at higher frequencies compared to custom kernels and this has a drastic effect on battery life.

And it does tend to wake up by itself. I have now disabled double tap to wake and intend to actually see whether they is impacting the battery life and hour much time it is turning on. ( shouldn't be much)
