[HTC First] chrisliphart:
Okay, so I want to be able to do a couple of things. The first is nagging me, as I'm sure there's a way to do it, the second I'm not so sure about.

1) I want to be able to access the multi-tasking/Recent Apps list from anywhere. My idea is to push and hold Menu to get it to pop up, since Home uses Google Now when it's pushed and held. I know there was a way to do that with the search key back when we had 4 keys using LaunchKey, but I can't find anything to let me assign push/hold functionality to Menu. I'm rooted, so I'm sure there's a way to do this...

2) This I'm not so sure of. Because of the charging port being on the side of the phone, it works best in my car when it's held in a landscape orientation in my windshield-mounted dock. This is great for everything except one thing: the dialer. I know in most AOSP custom ROMs I've used on other phones, the dialer rotates with the phone. Since I've rarely stuck to stock on a phone before, and we're kind of forced to here, is there a way to get the dialer to rotate?
[HTC First] jonslice:
Double tap the home key brings up the recent apps.
[HTC First] grav1ty:
1. What jonslice says.

2. Download another dialer in the play store.
[HTC First] chrisliphart:
Holy crap. I feel so stupid now. How did I not know that? LOL

And yeah, downloaded another dialer. Forgot I could do that (since I've never really done it before). Thanks guys!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] kaemon:
Hi everybody,

here's my problem , thanks to anyone who would be able to help me.

I got the Qtek2020 a week ago, with an O2 uk rom (1.60). Everything was working ok.

3 days ago : i upgraded to the new O2 v1.72.187 uk ROM, i uninstalled the actveui application from O2 and put my settings for my cell network for the gprs & mms (proximus, belgium).

Yesterday, as i was in the middle of "champs elysees" in need to call a friend, my xdaII didn't seem to respond to anything, i tried to close it and open it but it wouldn't react to that button either... so i did a SOFT reset... and what a bad suprise had i when i saw it did a HARD reset !! :S (30 mins later, my friend call me so i had her number).

So yesterday night, back in belgium, i decided to put the French ROM for belgium avalaible Here. i followed the instruction for the country code problem avalaible Here.

I then installed lal my software ( included TTN3 with CheckPOI). and did an activesync backup before going to sleep at 4am.

This late morning (after using xdaII a little for calls and sms) : i pushed the power button to open the screen... no reaction...clicked again several times... yet no response... so i thought about yesterday at the champs elysees... maybe if i do a soft reset now, it will think i'm doing a hard reset becaue i clicked the power button first ... so i just removed the battery for exactly 2 seconds, and here come the screen powering up again :D BUT..... it was HARD RESETTED !!! :shock: :cry:

Ok...weird xdaII !!

no matter.. i have my last night back up... phew !! i won't have tosetup everything and installed everything again.......... I WISH :(

when i put the xdaII in the craddle, it asks me for a new name to give to it (not yet used)....Ok, done.

Now lets restore my backup...

i went to my last night backup's folder to copy the backup.stg file to the new folder. And then click to restore...

UNABLE.... it says it was done from a different device... (HUH !?!?today's ROM is same as last night's backup ROM !?!? What s wrong !?).

If anyone could PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me... i begin to be disapointed by this wonderful device :(

Best Regards,

Have a good day.

Mike
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] laj:
i have had the same problem, regional settings in system settings has to be the same as in the backup.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] kaemon:
Thanks, restoring backup is working now :)

but some files can't be copy because they are being used... despite the fact that i only activesync is open... is there a way copy them anyway ???
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] lazzy:
kaemon,

as to your device not responding, i experienced the same problem previously with battery pack pro v1.1 installed on my 1.66WWE but i upgraded to 1.72, never did dare to try after that.
[HTC One X+] stevennekens:
For a few days now I've noticed a massive battery drain of Google maps, up to 60 per cent of the battery use, without evening opening the app (must have been running in the background). I have temporarily disabled the app on my phone, but am I the only person with this problem?
[HTC One X+] vakbrain:
Make sure the "Location reporting" (in Google Maps settings) is disabled if you don't want the battery drain. Moreover, Google Now activates the Location reporting so you might have to disable Google Now as well...

P.s: this post should be in Q&A section, doesn't it ? ;)
[HTC One X+] stevennekens:
I have google now disabled all the time, and the location reporting was unchecked too.. Besides that, even if that had been activated, it shouldn't have taken 60% of my total battery (I had about 70% of my total battery left when I noticed it today), should it?

(...and yes, this one should be in the Q&A section, hadn't thought about that when I posted it though...)
[HTC One X+] bigdave79:
I had the same issue. I turned all location reporting off and turned off Google now, also made sure GPS was off. All that helped a fair amount but Maps still kept running in the background even though I'd never used the app. In the end I used an app called Greenify to hibernate maps and a bunch of other background apps and it made a world of difference. Use wakelock detector to see which apps are causing wakelocks and disable any you don't need running.
[HTC One X+] InsertORD:
Wyman Gibuil

use an extension car battery so it can add battery life even for month, just make sure you will get the same voltage
[HTC One X+] tzmx:
Its coz of google location services bug that HTC phones are having after the update.

If you are interested about it: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...ssues-for-htc-owners-google-working-on-a-fix/

In short:

Only location service thats working if you have this bug, is gps. Rest of locations services (wifi, mobile newtwork etc.) wont work.

Who couses it? - latest updates for google services.

How to fix it? - atm google is working on fix. There is some type of user fixes you can try. (see post).

Hope it explains your drain. I have this bu and i get this unusual drain from maps too.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyc5026:
I have a delayed notification issue on my device. Whether I'm on stock version or using ARHD, the issue is still there. Even I used an app called push notification fixer, it still can't help. So anyone can help me pls??
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpinoThalamic:
I'm also having this problem, I've already tried the AT&T version and the US unlocked version, on stock software and ARHD. It happens with all of them. Power saver is off, phone set to keep data connection even when screen is off.

So far I've noticed that Whatsapp, Gmail, and Google Voice are affected. I wake up in the morning and have to go to each app and refresh to get my messages, and sometimes even during the day I get the notifications hours late.

It's driving me nuts and ruining an otherwise fantastic phone!! I'm surprised there's not that much talk about this on the forums.....Any ideas?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adampatel19:
Notifiction Delay only using data

first of all, i have a HTC One (available to use on all networks) with delayed notifications whilst the phone is sleeping, ofcourse ive searched and

selected all the correct settings

but unfortunately i still get delays.

However, this problem only occurs whilst using the data package, i dont get this problem on wifi even if the phone has been sleeping for hours, the problem is only whilst using the data provided by etisalat. (the data works fine whilst using the phone, but when the screen turns off it just seems disabled) Ive tried multiple sim cards, still the same problem.

I contacted HTC, i hard resetted my phone and adjusted the necessary settings i was instructed to, but no use, they told me to send my phone for repair using the warrantee, the repair shop said it was a feature of the phone and ALL HTC ONE PHONES HAVE THIS PROBLEM, i then emailed and complained to HTC customer support and they agreed with the technician saying it was a permanant battery saving feauture and a new device would not be sent to me,

so, is this true? does everyone experience this issue?

I found an app 'Push Notification Fixer' , it requires rooting the phone , do you think it will solve my problem?

any help on how to proceed would be much appreciated,

thank you
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyc5026:
Problem solved. U can download an app called Push Notifications Fixer. Use this app and everything should be fine. Btw change of firmware also solves this most probably, not confirmed. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] phazes:
Currently having a problem using stock rooted rom with any keyboard I install. When swyping, the keyboard does not recognize my swype. It also is having issues with long pressing on any of the keys on the keyboard. Is this a known issue? Anyone know of a fix? It does not happen all the time and is impossible to try and force to happen. Currently I have enabled tracing to see if the issue is with my screen not completely recognizing my finger or unsure if it is an issue with the rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Krynos:
Do you have the same problem with the stock keyboard, or do you only have issues with custom keyboards?

That's odd. Maybe you could try uninstalling some apps or factory reset to check if you still have the problem with nothing else added on. Some apps can really cause problems.
[Android General] britseye:
This is quite a popular phone in Africa, where I think TECNO are concentrating their effort. It's based on a Qualcom chipset, and is at Gingerbread level. It is cheap - less than $100 - and since TECNO have now released N7, it will probably get cheaper. It features dual SIM, and seems to work quite well.

I have been using it as a target for Android app development experience. It strikes me that it would be an ideal phone for companies in Africa who have employees who need to communicate with a central server. Is anyone else working with it, or must Africa be deprived of this opportunity? If anyone is, I'd be interested in cooperating.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plasmastate:
Hello

Back in the days when I had an s3. I remember that the power saving mode had a significant effect on the battery life as well as performance.

Can anyone explain how the battery saving helps in gs4. I notice no performance difference here. Are the a15 cores still getting used when the mode is turned on?

Also, can anyone report better battery life with powersaver turned on vs off on i9500?

Thank You.

As the S view cover has a magnet in it, it seems to affect the compass on the phone.

The compass no longer functions correctly and won't point in the correct direction.

This also affects the maps app as the arrow won't point in the direction you are facing.

Some other applications which use compass, maybe augmented reality apps won't work with this case.

Quite a big problem !

I am using Mackay Kernel with my CyanogenMod 10.1 and I need to know if this kernel is the best kernel for Jelly Bean or there is another better...Any suggestions would be helpful...Thanks in advance...And one more thing what kernel to use when I am at stock Gingerbread Rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chainer1:
Well i would just compare the different features of the available Kernels to see what suits you best, then use them to compare smoothness, batterylife etc....i for example prefer semaphore because of the autobrightness, call volume boost, bigmem and custom voltage feature..so i guess it depends on what you are looking for.....

For gingerbread i think galaxian was a very decent kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasomkd:
Thanks a lot...Now I know what kernel to use for my Galaxy S... Thanks again :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porman:
II'm currently running CM10.1 with Mackay.

Previously I've used Semaphore and I have also tried Devil Kernel. Both those and the stock CM10.1 kernel have caused lag when I play games, the touchscreen became unresponsive/late response when I played games, music was unbereable to listen to because of the constant skipping.

With Mackay, I've experienced no such thing. I believe it handles the RAM (I have more free ram, which I believe gives me less lag) differently on my phone and I even experience less battery loss when idle.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jupiter5700:
My favorit kernel is Devil. For more reasons. Fast, stable, bigmem, overclock, power consumption

Edsub,

I am wondering if the already excellent IIWPO could be further enhanced by a simple but witty add-on. I am imagining the capability to receive a Kill-Signal via SMS. If all attemps to recover the phone fails because the person who holds it has not put in a full & proper owner name + address we still have a phone number right? Therefore we can send an SMS to the phone at will. If IIWPO listens for a specific sms subject line then we could instruct it to disable the phone in some fashion that can be reversed and display a message to this end "tell" the thief to return the phone no questions asked etc. If still no luck then we could send a signal forever killing the phone. Am I watching too many spy movies? ;-)

Hope you like the idea. Sounds fun to me. Regards
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] edsub:
I like the idea :twisted: , but since am not a CE developer (and I did not develop IIWPO either, just put the parts that were there together for use on a Himalaya) I have no idea whether or not this is possible.

Maybe any of the real xda-developers see a possibility here :?:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mark.peters:
This is possible, and was used on an HP Jornado 928 ...

On this handset, a simple SMS containing a specific codeword or PIN would 'lock' the handset so that it could not be used. Quite useful and as far as I know unique to the HP Jornado 928.

Anyone know any different ?

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] henrylim:
Perhaps the local police station...

My wife lost her handphone to some dishonest fella who picks it up and perhaps remove the SIM/off the HP.

Perhaps we can have it SMS your selected police station on startup and replay an SMS with your customised message:

"Yeah baby! I've stolen this handphone and there is NOTHING that you bloody incompetent slobs can do about it! <vulgarities applied here>!"

<repeat 100 times>

In my country, we can have different numbers for neighbourhood police post. The SMS will be repeated as a robotic voice message to the LAND phone as well.

I can at least ensure that the message does not go into a generic 911 number. :twisted:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drfundy:
My office is notorious for bad cell phone signal. For some reason in the office my Galaxy s4 seems to connect to 3g, which barely has any signal, until I reboot at which point it connects to the 4g network with one bar, which is still allot better than its 3g signal. My rezound always connected via 4g and it was fast enough to tether my Kindle, nexus 7, and laptop.

Any suggestions to improve signal or make it connect to 4g instead of 3g without rebooting?
