Right, it's not QSlide. It's called SlideAside. My only problem with it is that it is difficult to use when you have a case that has any kind of lip on the side edges. Makes it harder for the screen to register the 3 finger gesture if your fingers can't slide off the screen cleanly.

I'm not using if it's posted before or if it's an android feature. You can disable the notification for a specific app from application removal screen. It's handy when some applications send an annoying notification message like ads.
[G2 General] sebbes:
+1 it in all Androids. And you can actually get to this screen from 2 other places :

1) Long press on any notification in the drawer

2) from the task switcher (long press on home), long press the app you want to silence

Bonus: you can also quickly uninstall the app from there too.

Neither does AT&T visual voicemail. Nova/Tesla don't seem to be recognizing those apps. Any thoughts?

[G2 General] android404:
The back buttons are unreachable when the phone is in a car dock or similar? In the accessibility settings I found something called "universal touch". Turning this on puts a semi transparent, floating button on your screen. Pressing this button opens a menu with a home button, a power button and volume buttons.

Using tasker you can make a shortcut to the "universal touch" screen appear every time you put your phone in a car dock or similar. Or you turn it on and off manually.

"easy access" in the accessibility settings allows you to call "universal touch" by simply pressing the home button thrice...

Edit 2: press help on the universal touch settings screen to see the basic built in gesture controls.

[G2 General] rebelx:
Maybe you guys can help with this issue:

I have my contacts synced with my Google account, but it throws every single email/number I have ever used on that account. If I try to send a text and push a particular letter, I get every single email address that starts with that letter and then I get contact information. That's a bit too much information.

I don't know how I had it synced with my iPhone, but if I push "A" then it only gives me the contacts that I have (which are synced with my Google account) phone numbers* for my texts. On email, it will first bring up the most contacted (it looks like) beginning with that letter.

On the G2, I get the same entire list in no particular order for both the text and email app. I can't seem to only include just the contacts that I had on the iPhone previously. * I did figure out how to disable it showing contacts without numbers, so my call list now looks correct, but is still a mess when I try to send a text/email.

Does this make sense?

Essentially:

On the text app-- I only want the numbers of my contacts that have been synced with Google to have phone numbers. These are the contacts I have located on google.com/contacts.

On the email app-- I would prefer to only have the contacts that I often contact on top of the list, but if that's not possible, I can live with typing in more letters to fine tune my address.

The first part is killing me. I don't want to have to type out the contact's name when sending a text when I'm used to doing it one (sometimes two) letters previously.

I had also tried to sync my FB account but quickly undid that since it just added all my Facebook friends on there (a lot of them have numbers, but I don't want them on my phone). With iPhone, it would only sync information/picture if I had that contact already on my Google contacts and on my phone.

Should I just wipe the phone and resync again? I just got it, so there's no real data on it for me lose.
[G2 General] expertzero1:
you have to go into gmail/google contacts on your computer.

it saves everything on there lol. i did this last week or so. forgot the steps but you gotta clear out the contact list.
[G2 General] Jawbox:
Somewhere there is a setting on the contact list to only show contacts with a phone number. I think that will filter it in the messaging app too.
[G2 General] metalboy94:
Long story short, I've had an S4 user today asking in amazement if the G2 really did not use an AMOLED screen. :D

Thanks for pointing me to it. Does the term shades mean shading the screen or wearing sunglasses and having the screen optimized for their use? To me it just looks like a screen dimmer and I can do that from the nav bar drop down.

I had this same issue with google syncing all my contacts into my phone but i only wanted ones with phone numbers to show up. Go into Phone then the contacts tab -> settings -> and under display options there's a box to display only contacts with phones. This will filter out all of your google contacts that are just email addresses etc. This works for calls but i can't seem to get the stock message app to filter out some of the emails when it suggest names for new texts.

I'm also enjoy stock as well. Rooted, with some xposed tweaks, but that's it. After my last phone, i'm kind of burnt out flashing roms/updating all the time. Trying to give myself a break lol.

[G2 General] salisbury_steak:
1) That happens with any phone I think. As Whatsapp deploys it's own software with your camera hardware. It doesn't call the phone's camera software.

2) Does your apple earphone have a mic on them? Best to show us screen captures of those two icons (not here though, please post that in the Q&A thread) Let's try to stick to topic please. :o

I just found out that I cannot use Google Maps to navigate if Google Access location (including Location Reporting and Location History) is turned OFF.

GPS ON only is not enough to use for navigation. I have to turn ON Google Access location.
[G2 General] Steamer86:
Google access location is a Google service for maps. That's all you need on. You can turn off reporting and history and it will work as long as you hit the location button in maps. This has nothing to do with the phone.
[G2 General] votinh:
I'll sure give it a try. Thanks m8.

But is it the source of NIpWakeLock and NIpCollectorWakeLock?
[G2 General] Steamer86:
The reporting is mainly. This will make Google Now and other Google locating services less useful. Now still works, just needs more manual refresh. History doesn't really do much without the reporting on. More or less saves, with more misses, but dramatically decreases overall wakelock. Maps will still find your location when used, just not update every 5 damn minutes along with Now.
[G2 General] votinh:
Confirmed that turn off Location Reporting and Location History have no effect when navigating as long as Location Access must be turned on.

So, when it's ON, the NIpWakeLock and NIpCollectorWakeLock spinning like crazy.

Is it the source of battery drain? I don't know.
[G2 General] Steamer86:
[MENTION=4162570]votinh[/MENTION], it is the main source, as the phone no longer polls for location as often.
[G2 General] votinh:
That's strange those.

In my case, weird case, when I have GREAT battery life (5+ hrs screen time, 1+ hrs talk time, 1+ day total) with virtually no settings, just leave everything by default, including both "wifi and mobile network" and "google location access" checked, I've seen NIpWakeLock/NIpCollectorWakeLock triggered crazy.

In some other case, most the times, when NIpWakeLock/NIpCollectorWakeLock shows reasonably numbers of wakelock, meaning, not much, then my battery life is very crappy like dropping 40+ % over few hours when I'm not even touch the phone.

Another member reported and thought it is the LG sensor causing problem.

Anyway, thanks for your info.
[G2 General] Steamer86:
No clue, haven't had the problem since disabling reporting and installing search and services as user app.
[G2 General] mdfritz:
When you turn off Wi-Fi and mobile network location service, it stops the Nlp Wakelock, but then in exchange, you inexplicably get the entries refresh wakelock http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2454340which never lets your phone enter deep sleep. They are both lousy wakelocks in their own right, and it's hard to say which is worse, so I decided to leave network location services on and take advantage of having a functional Google now experience.

the light "waves" are normally diagonal and horizontal. by adding a polarised filter u block ether one. if u apply both filters it blocks them all. try yourself with two sunglasses and rotate them. or just brake your in two ;)

The only reason I'd be flashing a custom ROM is because I like my navbar to have menu on the left, home in middle and back on the right.
