[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] livinginavacuum:
Thanks for the input guys, but I'm not sure if I understand how this works.

On my GS3 (and now Note 4) I turn off my locked screen so that once I click on the power button it turns on my non-locked display.

So correct me if I'm wrong. With Active Display it will let me know of any notifications when it senses my hand wave and I won't have to click on the power button to turn on my non-locked display - instead just some kind of tap patten or something?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] fury683:
Correct. If there is no lock screen, the Active Display shows the clock and notification icons. On the Moto X you can swipe down to unlock to the home screen, up to go to the app with the most recent notification, or swipe left/right to dismiss the current notifications from Active Display.

Active Display it self sort of serves as a lock screen, just a slide to unlock. If you press the physical power button the phone turns on to the home screen.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] livinginavacuum:
But would I still be able to use the power button to go straight to the home screen similarly to the way I have it setup on my GS3 and Note 4?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] fury683:
If there was no security method selected, yes.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] livinginavacuum:
Awesome.

And you guys are saying that the Active Display is so great that I'll prefer to turn on my non-locked display with it instead of using the power button?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] fury683:
Not sure how else I/we can explain it...

On the Moto X 2013, if you have Screen Lock set to none and Active Display on, you will see notifications on the screen in the order they arrive (most recent is "featured" in the ring, others are shown below it. When you touch the Active Display ring, you swipe up to go to that app/notification. If you swipe down, it just "unlocks" and goes to your home screen. Swipe left or right clears the pending notifications from Active Display. Pressing the power button on the side will go straight to the home screen.

Using Active Display with a security method will do all of those same things, but if your lock screen timeout has surpassed, you will have to put in your PIN/password before you can go to a notification from Active Display. If you press the power button instead of using Active Display, you are taken to the PIN/password screen.

I really only use my power button for turning the screen off, not on. Sometimes I do still use the power button to turn on if there is nothing on the active display. Wen it sits on a table, the screen is all black. If you move the device (even slightly), the clock will show up with an unlock icon, when there are no notifications pending. If there are notifications pending, the screen "breathes" every few seconds (10-15 or so, and I believe it gets less frequent if it sits untouched for a while), flashing the clock and notification icons until you unlock/clear them.

Now, the screenshots of Active Display look different for the Turbo because it shows multiple icons on the screen. Moto X only shows one in a white circle. The screenshots I've seen of Turbo show three. Not sure exactly how they react.

As for if you will use the screen vs. power button, I guess that's up to you.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] livinginavacuum:
Me replying with "awesome" = yourself and others did a superb job explaining everything to me and making this a non-concern for me regarding potentially getting the Turbo.

But totality appreciate you giving me more input on how the Active Display works, especially the breathing aspect.

Regarding using the Active Display to wake up a non-locked screen instead of the power button, I was actually curious to see if there were others who are adjusted to using the Active Display for this purpose and now prefer it over the power button.

Otherwise, I'm now really excited to go demo it tomorrow and see for myself how it works.

Cheers.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] fury683:
I nearly always use the screen gesture to turn on the display, usually to the home screen.

When you move the Moto X at all (I usually just tap it so it rocks to one side on the curved back, or "twist" it slightly while it is laying on the table) the active display comes up. This is usually just to check the time. You can also hold on the unlock ring and see some of the details for the current pending notifications. For example, if Fenix has a notification, I can hold the unlock ring and see the first few bits of the notification to see if I really want to unlock for that or not.

From there I can let go (nothing happens), swipe up to open Fenix, swipe down for home screen, or swipe left/right to clear that notification from Fenix.

You will get used to AD very quickly.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rotorocker:
I didn't even think about this phone missing an LED notification. I've got an S3 as well and always have depended upon the different colors to let me know when i get a message/email, etc across the room or my desk while on the charger. I suppose I won't be charging as much anymore but its nice for those that don't keep their phone in their pocket all day. I don't always feel vibrations and am just used to depending on the LED light.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] livinginavacuum:
Yeah, little things like that are borderline panic worthy for some of us. TBH, I find that on average friends who have iPhones take a decent while longer to get back to me than those with Android phones or even Blackberries. Why? Because if they miss a call, sms, or email there's no way of knowing unless they actually physically touch there phone. At least this was the case last time I checked or of course they can always enable "LED Flash for Alerts"....smh.

So coming back to the topic - I gave it some thought and feel like this Active Display is probably an even better option than LEDs.

Instead of the LED notifications on our GS3s lighting up in different colors (the correlation of which I still haven't memorized even to this day), we'll now have Motorola's Active Display which allows for "breathing" when there are notifications. What this does is cause your screen to flash every couple of seconds with notification information. This is awesome because at a glance you'll now know exactly what's going on. So if you're like me and like it when your nearby phone let's you know you may have missed a call, sms, or email then this seems like it'll be quite useful. You also have the option of turning the "breathing" off at night along with managing which apps you wish to work with the AD.

At least I hope that is the case because I've never really spent a lot of time with a Moto X (only briefly on one of my friend's). So for those who are AD vets if I said something that's off please correct me.

This video also helped me understand how it works a little better (so hopefully it'll help you and others who are in the same boat):

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rotorocker:
This new AD is great and all but a lot of the time when my phone is charging at a friends house or at work, it's across the room. So I don't see anything but an LED helping me track the state from there. I'm still going to get the new phone and figure out how to deal with the difference but I think it's a stupid miss on something obvious from the manufacturer. But what do I know? Maybe it was part of the reason to keep the cost down.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] livinginavacuum:
Don't think we'll need to be charging our Turbos at a place other than the comfort of our own personal nightstands given the battery capacity we're getting here.

Otherwise, yeah, LEDs are nice to have for when your phone is in a non-nearby situation and you wish to quickly glance at it for an update.

Hi,

I did an installation of the english version ROM on my JASJAM, I followed it by the installation of IMAGINET 2.0 suite for arabic functions, everything seem to be apart from not being able to use the hardware keyboard for writing in arabic.

Any idea what else do I need to do to get the keyboard arabic enabled like before.

Thanks.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TagCdog:
This phone has awesome specs, 5.2 inches is a more reasonable screen size than 6 inches (for me), and the outright price is $100 less than the Nexus 6.

It has everything going for it except it will contain all the VZW bloatware and will of course be locked down like crazy. Because it is a Verizon exclusive, the devs will be limited by ¾ (no Sprint, T-Mobile, or ATT devs) and that leaves me to question is the phone worth the lack of development that Verizon exclusivity creates? By comparison the Nexus 6 is one model for all carriers and is practically guaranteed to have a huge developer community.

If you have your mind set on either the Droid Turbo or the Nexus 6, what are your reasons for selecting that particular phone in regards to your speculations of the future developer communities among all the other reasons?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ap3604:
Maybe? Anyone who tells you a definite answer is simply guessing. You can go check out the other "droid" forums here on Xda to see if they were affected.

Myself I couldn't care less about rooting or flashing ROMs, I'm getting the phone since it's a damn beast of a device
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Cobra04:
It all depends. I had the DROID DNA which was also a Verizon exclusive and wasn't promoted too much. It had great dev support within a few months. I've had an unlocked bootloader and root for awhile. Then again, it was an HTC device.

i can tell from experience last year droid maxx, the software was so fast and cool that i never missed any custom rom, because you would lose active notificacions and ok google now function, i even debloated the stock droid maxx rom and released it for dev devices and it was even faster, i can live with stock rom, but root its necessary, so as long we get root for this one im cool.

All I know is people are pist this phone came out after they upgraded. This is the first time i get a phone beyond my expectations.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] razz1:
In general a Nexus is easy to unlock and develop for and a Verizon branded phone is difficult to. That's not to say the Turbo won't have development or get unlocked though. It's definitely possible but more difficult. I bet there will be some big developers for this device so we'll see. IMO if you can deal with a huge phablet then definitely go with a Nexus over this. I personally just can't walk around with that big of a device.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zathus:
The galaxy nexus (vzw only model) had insane dev support. I don't think the exclusivity will be the issue as much as the difficulty to unlock it.

Goto system/usr/keylayout and then click on generic.kl.

Change: 127 MENU

Change: 139 MENU

Change: 158 APP_SWITCH

Change: 254 BACK

That should have your back key on left side, recents on right and hold recents for menu. Oh and I forgot. Reboot after you make these changes. Otherwise won't work.

And for the record I'm on lunesta and thank god I didn't totally screw it up by writing it down. But I got confused. Can somebody confirm 127, 139, 158 and 254 are back, menu, menu and app_switch in respective order. Thanks.

And I hope y'all enjoy that because I could find it anywhere and took a chance on my own.

I changed the command line on APP_SWITCH and BACK because the first two "MENU" looked just like you posted so no change there, and nothing happened after reboot.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
You did something wrong. Make sure you back space delete the letters and add what needs to be there. For app switch make sure underscore is there. Make sure to save. Then reboot. This is an easy mod.

Instead of messing around with files in your phone why not simply

download/install Graviitybox (xposed module) it has the exact

feature you are looking for, reassign hardware keys.

Here is a direct download link for Gravitybox:

Hi,

I would like to know how to stop forced update to Windows 8.1 on Surface RT?

I get a blue pop up on Surface RT Windows 8, that is going to force me to update to 8.1.

I am happy with Windows 8, and would like to turn off this automatic update.

It is giving me increasingly limited options from a few days, down to a few hours now, to delay it, and will probably be forced on me next time I turn it on.

I need to disable this now, before I don't have the choice anymore. Please help!
