what are some of the actions ppl are using glance+ tasker to perform? I've never used tasker but am willing to learn. I know it's extremely powerful but have never thought of anything I needed to run automatically. I'm sure some ppl have ridiculous profiles and actions setup. I read one guy has it configured to disable his lock screen when his pebble is connected and in range and enables a pass code when not.

Sent from my xposed VZW G2, using unlimited data :)
[Pebble] Protonus:
I use Pebble Tasker's ANDROID app, to populate the Tasker actions in Glance, with it's optional feature. Works great, much easier to set up and maintain, then setting it up via Glance's intents. The Pebble Tasker Android app, basically creates the intents for you.

I don't actually use the Pebble Tasker WATCH app at all. The author of Pebble Tasker, said he's adding Long Press Button support to his Glance Support soon! (awesome!) that'll increase Glance's actions to beyond 3!

As far as the Actions, I have my three Tasker buttons in Glance setup to do this:

1.) Flashlight (this triggers TeslaLED which has a tasker intent to toggle flashight / camera flash. One press to turn on, one to turn off.)

2.) Google Now (this opens the Voice Search application, so that I can interact with Google Now and do voice commands etc. I'm extra l33t, so I'm using the SecureSettings tasker plugin, to also first, turn the display on and wake the phone, and then disable keyguard (because otherwise, this won't work with the phonescreen off unfortunatly). It then waits 15 seconds, and re-enabled keyguard again).

3.) Voice Record (This starts recording via a tasker plugin for the app Easy Voice Recorder Pro. So when pressed, it starts a voice recording. Great for stealth recording, getting pulled over, etc. The author of Easy Voice Recorder is going to add a new Tasker option to "toggle recording" so you can start/stop with one button press. If Pebble Tasker adds long press support before that, then i'll just do Long press for Stop recording in the mean time).
[Pebble] Dugan1017:
I use an app called Pebble Locker to disable the lockscreen when my watch is connected (in range). When it's disconnected, my phone then requires a PIN to unlock. I did have this set up in Tasker at one point, but Pebble Locker is much easier.
[Pebble] Protonus:
This is now a feature IN Glance, doesn't use Tasker at all.
[Pebble] Quentin.Sheley:


Where?
[Pebble] Protonus:
In the Glance Android app: Customise Watch -> Vibrate on the hour

NOTE - it's possible this is only in the beta version right now, I'm on v0.10b1

I yhink after this, the google play services stopped working

I changed the time also back yhe normal time

Does any1 know hpw i can fix this problem?

Thanks for response :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nijom:
Select "Automatic Time Zone" in time settings when connected to Network. Go to Airplane Mode and Restart and turn Airplane Mode off!

It should work!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] gunitt:
I have done a Factory Reset now, even now I used English ( united Kingdom ) as a language, and when i connect it to wifi it stil comes up grey and it doesnt connect ot gmail either :(

Therefore i cant use my tablet at all right now ...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] gunitt:
Hey Guys

doesnt any one know what problems it could b :/

do u think it helps if i flash a new rom onto my tablet?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Kenneth196:
Question question regarding USB OTG Cables/Micro SD Card Readers. I know you can view content on them (movies, music, documents, etc). However, can you write to the flash drive/micro sd card? Basically, I'm curious because I know I could store roms on the flash drive or micro sd and play them from there, but I would like to store saves to it as well (so saves would not have to be stored on the Nexus 7).

I'm interested in the Meenova MicroSD Card Reader (I go for the card reader over a USB OTG because I do not need a large flash drive - a 64GB micro sdxc is sufficient), just curious if I can write to it as well or only read.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] a9y:
I've had no trouble writing to my Kingston 16GB SDHC through a usb reader.

The only thing I would mention is that you'll need a custom kernel to access NTFS file systems. Also you should note that the kernel in question needs to have write enabled for the NTFS module. This had me stumped when installing a kernel without it enabled, and it only ever mounted it read-only. Of course, if you're using FAT then you don't need to worry about any of this.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jck_p:
I'm close to purchasing the Nexus 7 2013. The one thing holding me back is the USB drive issue. I want to be able to access the drive via the microUSB port and read&write to it like I would on a PC. You know, open an excel file, modify it, and close/save. All on the USB drive. Are you saying that can be done easily enough? I don't mind rooting, either. Don't want to but can if necessary.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Kenneth196:
Thanks. So from your post and reading a few other posts, unless you're rooted, you cannot write to NTFS (only read), but you can write to Fat systems. I really don't plan on having any files greater than 4GB so I believe Fat will work. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] hamad138:
Pros

Gold Performance

Gold Brightness

Cons

Camera

Battery

Colours washed out

Speaker are insane Bad ! Becareful

Below averange Viewing Angeles

Considiring the price we can call the Nexus 5 as a huge fail. Nexus 4 is practical the same only the cpu is better and maybe built quality

My opinion dont buy it and get the g2!
[Nexus 5 General] nitrogen618:
Gotta admit, the speakers blow, pop and distort after volume of 70%.

My viewing angle is pretty decent I say when compared to my S4.

Color is ok. I miss my saturated color from S4.

Very fast!!!!

Just a question, for the menu button, how do i end all? I don't like to swipe one by one off the screen...
[Nexus 5 General] Tom540:
OK. Thanks for the productive thread.
[Nexus 5 General] hamad138:
You have to swipe all off
[Nexus 5 General] nitrogen618:
That's not cool. :(

On S4, one click, boom. D:
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
No we can't. You can, and that's your prerogative.

I would put down the crack pipe, though.
[Nexus 5 General] hamad138:
Ok thats my opinion but the forum is floaded with fanboys , so im just giving a honest review of an user who is not a fanboy.

But again everyone has different opinion:good:
[Nexus 5 General] Tom540:
Also, you say the s4 pro is better than the s800? And to "becareful" of the presumably dangerous speaker?

Please expand upon this logic :D
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Cool story bro. But you're right, the forum is filled with useless posts.
[Nexus 5 General] sn0warmy:
I'll just go ahead and correct the title of this thread for you:

[Nexus 5 General] jodvova:
At least his review is honest and not biased by fanboism.
[Nexus 5 General] Exel:
I'm surprised you guys are still calling this a review, lol.

/ib4l
[Nexus 5 General] bgaccord:
The only thing I don't like is speaker.distorts easy other than that is good.battery is decent
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
There fair enough, and as I say it's your prerogative, however if you honestly feel that a top end handset at near enough half the price of other top end handsets is a huge fail, I refer you to the aforementioned crack pipe.

Fair enough if you don't like it and won't recommend it, but come on... there's not being a fanboy, and there's making ridiculous statements.
[Nexus 5 General] Ritual82:
Am I the only one that has not experienced any of the problems people are reporting? Sound is good, even at high volume, colors are not washed out. This phone works great for me. Coming from an s4, I like the nexus 5 a lot more.
[Nexus 5 General] jodvova:
Take 4.4 and Samsung OS tweaks out, what do you like about Nexus 5 over S4 specifically ?
[Nexus 5 General] vimto25:
Coming from s4 the n5 is much better in the hand feels more durable. Screen is washed out a bit but maybe its more accurate. My cons so far Is the speaker is very poor even for £339 and I think the battery don't last very long compared to my previous device s4. So if lg had fitted a better speaker and bigger battery I'd of give this phone 9/10 as every phone has an improvement to be made. But it is how it is so I'd give it a 7/10
[Nexus 5 General] Keydogg1:
My colours are awesome, I'm so confused by people saying they're washed out! Maybe it's like when the Nexus 7 first came out and there was a genuine software issue with come of them having washed out colours.

I'm come from a Galaxy S3 with the super duper Amoled pentile amazing screen and honestly the Nexus screen is better! Colours are richer but also more accurate.

That is a ridiculous question. 90% of the reason people buy Nexus phones is exactly because of the software. Anyway, I like how fast it is - wait, that's software related. I also like how much RAM is free - ****, software related. The feel of the handset and build quality is impressive compared to the GS3/4. Is that ok? Oh and I also like the image stabilisation.

With regards to the speaker, I would never ever listen to music from my phone's speaker because no phone speaker could ever sound even half decent. I've got a Denon amp and some B&W speakers for that.

The only two things I wish this phone had are:

Contact Linking (facebook, twitter, etc like Sense 5)

Better battery, however so far it is on par with my GS3.
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
This is much less biased than the op. Thanks. The op says an honest review but they seem to be criticizing everything but I guess everyone gets their own opinion. I've never had a nexus before but when mine comes in I'll give my POV of it.

Scratch that I have a nexus 10 where I posted this from lol I completely forgot. But I never had a nexus phone :p
[Nexus 5 General] vuittion:
I just picked up a Nexus 5 after trading in my Galaxy S4 plus some cash and wished I hadn't.

At full volume I can barely hear the speaker and the volume through the headphone out is even worse.

This happened during a root attempt when my laptop failed and restarted.

Just wondering if there is a software way of reviving it I know that I would beable to revive with a jtag but I'm not very god with soldering so not even gonna attempt it.

I know it might be hard as the computer doesn't even acknowledge that I have plugged my phone in.

If anyone can help cheers in advance

It tells me my device (MDA Compact) is connected, but when I try to explore it I get the following message!

"Critical communication services have failed to start. Try resetting the mobile device, and then connect again."

I have tied to remove it and re-load it.

Any relevant help would be most useful
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] SirLoinOfBeef:
I am having the same problem.

I tried using ActiveSync 4.1 recently, only to find it can only be used with the new Windows Mobile 5.0. I uninstalled it and reinstalled 3.8. Ever since then I have had this issue. I've tried removing it again, rebooting, then reinstalling. I've tried downloading a fresh copy of 3.8 in case it was corrupt... All to no avail. I can't even open ActiveSync properly. It appears in teh task bar and can connect to devices, but it will not sync, and I can't browse teh device.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] VoodooBOB:
Activesync 4.1 is not just for WM5, I am running 4.1 on my Jam with WM2003SE and it works like a charm.
[Nexus 5 General] AppReviewBros:
As we all know Nexus 5 has a gorgeous looking display that's amazing to play games on, however, the big navigation bar that's always common kind of destroys the purpose of it.

[YOUTUBE]Vr5zd5Sazj8[/YOUTUBE]

One way to hide the navigation bar is by editing the build.prop file by adding a new line to it: qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

What it does is completely disable the navigation bar, so we need a new way to navigate without it. An easy way to do that is with an application called Button Savior. The app will enable hidden on screen buttons that are very responsive and will allow you to access home screen with ease while enjoying the beautiful display, now in full screen!

Here's a list of applications that work and can be used to navigate without the original navigation bar:

1. Button Savior (back button does not work)

2. Handy Soft Keys (when enabled the "Ok Google" feature does not work)

3. Pie Control (paid application, but developer offers it for free to XDA users http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2454531)
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
Thank you :) The display looks so much better without the nav bar. i look forward to GMD Gesture Control compatibility with KitKat, it's a much better alternative for Button Saviour.
[Nexus 5 General] AppReviewBros:
I agree with you, GMD was the first app I actually tried, though as you say it does not work on Nexus 5 yet.
[Nexus 5 General] JPOKeefe:
Hopefully LMT will be updated soon.
[Nexus 5 General] teshxx:
have you guys tried this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.yesoft.handysoftkeys ?? I installed this a few mins ago and it works like a charm. Everything works and its so freaking smooth.
[Nexus 5 General] xXghostXx313:
Don't apps have to be updated to hide the softkeys?
[Nexus 5 General] teshxx:
It's working fine for me.
[Nexus 5 General] MasterGGM:
Looks like THIS is a similar tool.
[Nexus 5 General] envizion58:
thanks. i was playing some nfs today and was wondering about this.
[Nexus 5 General] teshxx:
Yea I saw this, but Handy soft keys auto hide and becomes visible when you touch the screen. I think its very nicely implemented. You gotta try to see what I mean.
[Nexus 5 General] MasterGGM:
I just don't like the pie effect. More of a preference.
[Nexus 5 General] teshxx:
It is like pie controls.
[Nexus 5 General] MasterGGM:
Lol woops, I meant to write I don't like it haha #fail
[Nexus 5 General] teshxx:
Lololol
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
Thanks for the heads up, this will do fine for now. Once Xposed is updated for 4.4 I'll use GravityBox to shrink the navbar down so it's just a sliver when in landscape. That way I still have instant access to the buttons but it doesn't take up any noticeable real estate on my screen. That's what I did with my Moto X and has proven to be the best mod I've done.
[Nexus 5 General] randpost:
one bad thing about enabling handy keys in settings/accessibility, it disable the "Ok Google" functionality from search. I'm still playing with it.
[Nexus 5 General] hello00:
which pie control is this
[Nexus 5 General] teshxx:
I know. That's what I am waiting for as well.
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
Yeah man, once we have Xposed I'll be MUCH happier with this phone. First on the agenda aside from shrinking the navbar is setting my status bar icons back to holo blue. Why google went to white is beyond me.

But back on topic. I'm using the handy soft keys app that you posted, I like it better than the one in the OP. Thanks for the recommendation.
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
I actually just found the PERFECT app. It's simply called Pie Control. It's fully customizable, smooth as silk, and feels like it's actually part of the ROM. It's paid, like $1.50, but worth every penny.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tk.eatheat.pie&hl=en
[Nexus 5 General] AppReviewBros:
Thanks for the suggestion!

The buttons do work great, however, when enabled certain apps seems to break as I couldn't record a video with the app enabled. Also, the "Ok Google" feature automatically stops working once you enable Handy Soft Keys.

I have now added a list of applications that work in the OP, thanks to everybody for the suggestions!
[Nexus 5 General] teshxx:
Np dude. Btw video recording works for me so does taking picture while recording.
[Nexus 5 General] envizion58:
the developer of pie control offers the app for free if u go to the xda link on the playstore page
[Nexus 5 General] miHah:
Hello!

I know there are some Threads about it already.

I've been searching the web (and xda) about hiding those Nexus navigation buttons in apps but with no success of what I want.

So if anyone knows for a solution:

I want my navigation buttons to be ACTIVE on some apps, while I want those button to hide on the other apps with !!POSSIBILITY!! to activate them (indefinite, not only for some seconds) and deactivate when needed.

I don't want them to appear "above" everything like some apps and ways to do this offer. I want it stock, the way android 4.4 does this (eg. http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...go-truly-full-screen-hide-the-navigation-bar/)

With the latter I meant when on Home Screen - there should be transparent Button Bar (like stock 4.4) :) Not like apps that only offer full black :(​

Do you think it is possible? Or maybe modified ROM could offer tweaked and improved android 4.4 "Full-screen Immersive mode"

[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
This would be absolutely ideal.
[Nexus 5 General] spupuz:
LMT does not hide softkey it adds pie.
[Nexus 5 General] Whyzor:
I've been a long-time user of LMT Pie (v2 supports Nexus 5 & KitKat 4.4 in post #7155 of thread) along with the "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" build.prop mod.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330150

The new Handy Soft Keys app has potential, it seems like how Android is supposed to implement virtual buttons since it's in the Accessibility Settings and doesn't require root or much of any other permissions. Just needs some minor improvements will make it better. I prefer having it on top, just below the notification bar since other sides can sometimes have app buttons underneath. It would be nice to customize & resize the pie controls. Also the memory grows to about 22 MB & 2 services vs LMT Pie's 1 service is about 4 MB or lower.
[Nexus 5 General] MrBIMC:
Another app for ya:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2270198

Compatible with 4.4, has lots of features, stock-like look and free for xda memebers :)
[Nexus 5 General] flonker:
I've been running the last few days without the navigation bar and using LMT launcher. At first I was worried that navigation would be hindered for the benefit of screen area, however, you get used to it quickly and it feels natural in no time. I won't use a navigation bar ever again.
[Nexus 5 General] jimmydee62:
I followed the instructions and added the line to my build.prop file and then rebooted but navbar is still there. Installed pie control which works but can't get rid of navbar. Is there something else I have to do or does this not work on custom roms?
[Nexus 5 General] bekyndnunwind:
Ya, if you want the nav bar to go away and come back automatically, then you'd have to wait for the app to get updated to make use of the new KITKAT fullscreen feature. These people are talking about completely and totally getting rid of their nav bars.

System UI crashes when the buld.prop tweak is made

I'm using the cataclysm ROM but when I make the build.prop tweak and reboot the system UI crashes. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 5 General] gfreek:
Thanks for that I agree, for now I think this will do for now until GMD Auto Hide is updated to support nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] shr33kant:
On cataclysm you only need to enable immersion mode through a qs tile. No need for other apps.

I opened my xperia s, and I accidentally cut the cable which is connected to the led bar board, and now my screen is not turning on, and the vibration doesn't work and the led bar also doesn't work.

What should I do?

Thank in advance! :) :)

Sorry for my English ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] proposicion47:
It's a hardware (physical) problem.

I assume you soldered the cable or tied it back?

In any case, the problem is not software, you should go to a repair shop or the phone company if you have warranty
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] ozi5783:
hi! i want to buy a new sd-card for my s3 mini. i had a 32 GB Sandisk ultra class 10.

what kind of card do you use?

what is the maximum read/write speed for our phone? (this will help me choose between a 64 GB sdxc card or a higher speed 16 GB)
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] +BOB+:
8 GB noname
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] mauam:
If you're using maclaw's roms you can use a 64GB card.
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] slim971:
I have a sandisk 16GB, no problem, good speed, works fine !
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] Dzombache:
I have a Transcend 32GB, class 10, kind of like the one you had ozi5783. Bought it a few months ago, but if I knew then that I was going to use CyanogenMod, I would've waited a little bit longer, and bought a 64GB one. Not that I need that much space, but it would just be awesome to have...:p :D On the other hand, I guess that then I could store ALL of my favourite things (media) on it, and that's always handy.

Now, as far as I know, the stock phone supports "only" up to 32GB microSD, but like mauam said, with maclaw's roms you can use a 64GB card. Don't know if anyone tried it, though...

Btw, my card works nice and fast, no issues whatsoever... Very pleased.
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] mauam:
Just to clear any possible doubt, I use a 64gb card:)
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] ozi5783:
Well, I finnaly did a test with A1 SD benchmark, and this is the result. I use CM11 by maclaw.

Our phone doesn't support UHS speed, so I'll just buy a 64gb when I'll have the money.

I will try SD booster to see if I get different results and post some screenshots after.
