i tap with my index finger in fairly rapid succession normally in the middle of the screen .. but as i have said before i find it works far less than it should ! if the phone is laying down on a hard surface it will work more often , but if i hold in one hand and tap with the other, it seems to fail . :confused:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexboy:
double tapping

Read most of these replies and i had the same issue regardless if i tap in the same spot, speed etc.

Anyways even though i dont wear gloves, i had this option ticked which affected the sensitivity of the screen. Once i unticked this option, the double tapping works 100% regardless of where on the screen i tap etc. you just need to tap consecutively close not seconds apart and mine never fails.

Hope this helps....
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducanmihai:
I noticed that also, but the circle that appears when you are close to the screen drives me nuts, so I turned it off. Instead I tap 3 times. That seems to do the trick.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evergood:
Hi guys! I ran into the same problem , and I hope my post will help someone. You 've probably noticed that a double tap works in virtually 100 % of cases, if the phone is lying on a flat surface and does not move. So the trick is to keep your phone in a stationary while you're tapping . If you have small hands ( like I have :D) , I recommend to keep the phone so that the lower left corner of the phone rested in the palm of your hand, and so the phone will not move. Pressing force and velocity values are not actually important. Sorry for my English and I hope somebody will find this information useful :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniel_I:
double tap

After a week of using it, i had the same problems as you guys.

Now, it's wotking just fine, everytime.

You should get used to how to tap. Not very fast, slowly is better .:good:

It's wotking fine. Don't blaim de phone, it's you to blame :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesley1966:
Every couple of minutes my N5 disassociates then reassociates itself with my router (BT HomeHub 4). Have tried wifi fixer app, setting static ips and replacing router and changing wifi channels . Other devices connected to router are fine so can only assume issues lie with the phone given the wider wifi issues around connecting to saved wifi spots and download speeds etc. I don't have these problems just these constant drop outs and reconnections. Am running CM nightlies and Elemental-X kernel. What would give the best hope of a fix. New Rom/kernel/radio/data wipe or all four? Or does my problem lie with the router? Any advice welcome as it is really irritating - particularly as I get no mobile service at home! Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeliton lord:
i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Nexus 5 has been plagued with this wifi issue since i believe 4.4.1. Hopes are that google will release 4.4.3 with a fix for the issue, but no word yet. As of right now there is no fix for the wifi problem :/
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesley1966:
Thanks. Did a wipe and moved from CM to AICP. Still got the issue so help us 4.4.3, you're our only hope.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
plagued? i have never had a problem with wifi.

what wifi type are you using? N? G? AC?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Try the common WiFi work arounds: setting your phone to only use 2.4Ghz (instead of 5Ghz or Auto) and toggling off the mobile data setting when using WiFi.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesley1966:
Well 4.4.3 seems to have made absolutely no difference.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Maybe it's faulty. If you've already tried another router there's not much else it can be. Try and get it repaired or swapped out.

I've not had a homehub 4, but never had Nexus specific issues with my HH 3 or 5.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinko:
at first: this is not a "whats the best rom" thread.

i have 2 very focused questions:

What are the idle times with those different roms?

Are there some Main feature differences?

Aktually im running cm11 m5 snapshot with smartassv2 Governor. its smooth but the battery life is kinda poor.

Im looking for a rom with long battery life. And i dont care about google now, talking to my phone(ok google) nor i need the special features from the standart samsung rom.

Would be realy helpfull if u can review to my questions. Greetings!

pls apologize my bad english.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
1 each phone is different depending on what's installed and running.

2 read there threads or flash each ROM and find out that way. You forgot about aokp?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinko:
2. thx for informing abaout aokp!

1. im asking for someone who did a test with the same phone and all roms. i dont ask for different situations, i sked fpr idle time and features!

Probably there is somebody out there who testet it and can present his results :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cornelha:
There are no definitive results, I have used both and I keep coming back to Omni due to the fact that on SlimKat music stutters like crazy when the screen is locked. Also, Omni updates are small enough to update often without having to download a complete update, to many users this a huge deal due to data limitations in certain countries. As for usage, idle time etc, like stated before, that depends entirely on what is installed on your device. Install a bunch of apps that need to constantly receive data updates and you will have battery drain and very little deep sleep. Where features are concerned, you kinda learn to live with limitations due to missing features on a specific rom. If you really want, you can most likely find an app that will bring a missing feature to a rom. I see a lot of people throwing their toys out the cot because one of the other does not have a specific feature implimented, yet the developers have done so with good reason, usually either performance or battery life.

With all said, there are many roms out there, Omni and SlimKat aren't the only players. It's difficult to compare roms nowadays because you are never quite sure if your kernel tweaking or custom kernel with it's hundreds of tweaks is the reason for a device not going into deep sleep either.

Give them all a try and decide for yourself, nandroid backups and apps like Titanium Backup makes it so easy.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinko:
Thx for your long, interessting and helping text!

im missing only 1 thing. if someone flashes all roms, doesnt install any apps. Only new rom and full wipe before, restart and tracks the time the phone has battery. Dont u think this is a possibility to compare the roms battery usage? i think there is no one who does this, but i probably will try this and put down a little table here. so people like me are able to see the rom with the best battery efficiency. so if they decide this rom has not enough performance, they can switch to "battery efficiency Number 2" and so on.

greetings
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
Sure you can do what you stated but bear in mind how will you compare the battery life across roms..

There should be some standardized test... Like looping video playback or some other method which does not change based on you usage habits..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Pa is another you're missing from you're list of developed roms. What you could do is test video playback, calls incoming/outgoing,one game of choice "high end battery draining game" and compere them all. As for the kernel tuning.. Read about what really happens and you will fine not a lot does happen with UV/uc .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mendim.M:
You can compare but you have to use that phone for more days not like just one and you have to full charge and then discharge 2 or 3 times till the phone make the correct battery stats. So i think you can test but better with daily use or get an app that drains battey faster well i think this may work :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laleli:
Hi,

I flashed BeanStalk-4.4.285-20140503-jactiveltexx (my first experience with custom ROMs). I would be happy with this ROM if there were not these issues with bluetooth.

There are frequent disconnects which I did not have with standard 4.2.2 ROM. Sometime it is hard to make it reconnect. (toggling BT off/on in easy case, reboot in harder)

This happened with multiple pairing partners (Smartwatch 2, Runtastic HRM, BoomBox).

And with BoomBox I'm also experiencing shuffled sound.

Any help or workaround very much appreciated.

Thx

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] berfles:
I installed Handcent again and I like it but miss the old text notification that would go across the top of the lockscreen. I could tap on that and unlock the phone and go right to the message instead of unlocking it, pulling down the task bar, and tapping the notification. Is there any way to just use Handcent as the app but keep the stock popup notifcations?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nexusbandit:
I receive the text notifications across the top of the screen with handscent..there is a setting in handscent that allows this..go to settings..notification settings..custom notification settings..turn off privacy mode and you should receive your notifications just like the stock app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] berfles:
Isn't that going to show the message content though? I don't want people to be able to see the message with the phone locked. This is what I want:

Even with that privacy option disabled, if I come to the phone after I get a message all I have at the top is a tiny icon like this:

I like the stock function because it says what time it came in, lets you tap it and go directly to the message on unlock, and I'm just used to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
I am also using Handcent as my default messaging app. Having what you're asking for would be a nice feature, but wouldn't tapping that notification bring you to the stock messaging app? If so, what would be the point of having Handcent?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] berfles:
I thought maybe there was a setting in there that replicated the TW stuff, that's all. Or maybe there would be a way to reassign the function and have it point to Handcent instead.

Honestly the only thing really like right now is that I can change the LED color and flashing speed because the stock flashing rate is too damn slow. I guess I'll try one of those apps that lets you handle LED functions again, but last time I tried it didn't do anything.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ChiefJustice:
Hey all,

So I did a search for this and didn't find it, but if I am stupid and just missed it, I appologize in advance.

When I get a voicemail, the notification pops up and I hit dismiss. The notification still stays on the 'desktop' and I can't get to the notiifcation of the missed call.

Is there anyway to actually dismiss the notification of voicemails and reverse the order so that missed calls notification comes up (so that I know who left the possible voicemail)?

Thank you for your help.

-ChiefJustice
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] marcwic:
you need to tap on the voicemail icon at the tome bar (on the right next to start menu) - this will bring up an extended menubar which you can then tap on the missed calls icon.

or press call button to goto the phone, use the menu opton to view call history.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ChiefJustice:
Yeah, I know of that meathod, but is there anyway to make it the missed call the first default notification?

And also, is there anyway to truly dismiss the notification but let the voicemail notificatin stay up top? On a normal phone, it says you have a voicemail and it lets you use your phone normally after that, not insisting on you checking the voicemail.

Thanks for all your help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] prestonmcafee:
I second the issue!

This is especially severe when one is in Europe and has no intention of checking voicemail until returning to the states (or vice versa, I suppose). I have several times checked voicemail from overseas just to get rid of the notification.

Apparently, the Cingular 8525 (Hermes) has the same issue. I've opened an official ticket with Cingular/HTC and will be posting the replies. I guess this is a WM5 issue, since WM6 fixes the bug. But since there's not official upgrade that fixes the bug, I will stay on their asses until they do. However, since I don't have a Cingular 8125 (Wizard), I can't pursue a fix for that model. Who knows, maybe a patch will fix both models. Here's the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=299865

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrie07:
Hi, I have a Galaxy S II HD LTE E120S, Build number: ir2.E120SKSJMK1 by Kynn. The ROM I've used before is ir2-v2 which has the option in Setting to enable Shortcuts in Locksreen but since I updated to the newer ROM I've downloaded from a Chinese forum that option has been somewhat disappeared (I've tried all the methods I could find on the Internet including changing from Pattern to Swipe and None and such but the option didn't show up). I've also tried updating to the stock ROM directly from Kies (which has the same build number) but the option didn't appear either (just like Samsung hides it on purpose).

All I want is that that option is back so that I can add Camera shortcuts for fast access, and using a third-party lockscreen just slows the phone down. I've already tried the Nova Launcher method (like in this link) but didn't work because "Shortcuts (.lockscreenshortcut.locscreenshortcutsettings)" didn't show up in Activities.

So is there a way to edit some files in system folder (I have root) so that I can enable shortcuts or any other ways to copy the lockscreen shortcuts enabling option from ir2.v2 ROM to this ROM? (I prefer this ROM to ir2.v2 because it's less laggy and battery consuming). These two ROMs are somewhat the same so will it be possible?

Thanks in advance. Sorry for my bad English.
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
After seeing a lot of comparison videos of the HTC One m8 and the Galaxy S5 I realized one of the big things HTC has is their motion launch gestures. Unfortunately for HTC it is limited to doing just a few things. So since the Galaxy S5 has an OLED screen which is turned "off" when displaying black pixels, I figured I could create something like the motion launch gestures that uses minimal battery.

So I created Knockr an app that allows users with OLED Screen devices, like the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Moto X, to quickly enter an app with gestures without having to turn the screen on.

Gestures include:

Double Tap: Double tap the screen to open any app you choose or unlock the screen

Swipe Up, Down, Left, Right: Users can set each Swipe to open a separate app or unlock the screen

Long Press: Long press the screen to open any app you choose or unlock the screen

Volume Up when in Landscape: Pressing the volume up button when the device is in Landscape will automatically open the camera

I am still working on improving some of the things in Knockr, but wanted to post it on here to get some feedback and suggestions to make it better.

Download Here

**EDIT**

The newest update 2.1 now includes Knocks. Knocks is like LG's Knock Code. You can create multiple Knocks to unlock or open apps.

Going to give it a try with my Galaxy S4 Mini, I hope it's not too harsh on the battery. Nevertheless this application seems like a great idea, Thank you.

EDIT: Seems to work very well. Just a few things I noticed.

-The screen can turn on by a single touch to the screen (it will then display lockscreen)

-The backlight keys turn on after the app is activated once the screen is locked (the keys are only on for a few seconds on my phone anyway, no big deal)

-Is it possible to decrease the delay between when the phone is locked and when the Knockr app is loaded/active?
[Android Apps and Games] NandishV:
You said that this is for screens with OLED yet someone commented checking whether it would work with their S4 Mini. Now I thought that S4's had AMOLED which was different, if I'm mistaken, does this mean that it will work on my S4-19505?

Thanks, it looks brill by the way.

[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
AM-(OLED) your device has an OLED display. It only works with OLED type screens cause they use no power to produce black screens.
[Android Apps and Games] nhatduongchi:
Only one touch and the screen is awake to show the lock pattern on Samsung S4.
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
What an awesome app! My only recommendation is to take away the one tap to turn on the screen, as the screen can accidentally turn on in your pocket very easily and cause unwanted battery drain.
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
Thanks for the feedback. It shouldn't use much battery especially if you use the power management since you probably wont have your phone turned off to often outside of your pocket during the day and if you do you can just turn it over and still get the same benefit.

I have already uploaded a new version that has removed the single tap action so there aren't any false touches registered. It also made the screen on an option to choose for any of the gestures. It also fixes a bug that cause Knockr to close when the orientation was changed after being pocketed.

Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to load Knockr any faster since I already have it setup to load as fast as possible. The problem is that I have to use a broadcast receiver to receive the screen off and the broadcast takes a little bit of time to be sent out (I'll keep looking for ways to make it faster though).
[Android Apps and Games] mangordi89:

awesome app.

but there is delay while unlocking phone (or performing any action while screen is locked).

i don't know it is because of my s3 or app

but cool idea.

one more suggestion screen should be unlocked after pressing power button.
[Android Apps and Games] ravijani:
mind blowing app.

works great.

thanks for this and keep going on.

it is really nice idea. :)

questions :

can it detect multi finger on screen off? we might get more gesture thts why only.

screen segmentation? means on some part of screen it detects then that gesture recognized.

just some ideas.
[Android Apps and Games] tyler78:
Awesome app. Just awesome. I didn't want to install a custom kernel just for this feature and now I don't have to. Working great at the moment. Power button is no use for unlocking but app is working with almost no hitch.

A suggestion for people who use this. Install screen on&off from play store and add that to nova launcher's double tap gesture to lock the screen. Now you can use double tap to both locking and unlocking. :)

Also, I have to swipe twice to open an app. Can't we do that with one swipe?

Edit: It opens with one swipe but it isn't always working. Needs some work.
