[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] opa1997:
i have the moto g4 plus 3/32 gig model, its around 1.5 months old running the soak test nougat, it recently started giving me a weird problem, it will randomly shutdown while in use, heating doesnt seem to be the issue, can anyone tell me what the issue might be.

P.S. i live in germany and this phone was bought in india so i am not so sure if the warranty will be valid
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] rajrocksdeworld:
go back to stock mm or install cm14
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] saranshkmr.in:
I am on stock mm and even i do experience these random shutdowns many a time. But i noticed that when this happens the rear part near the camera becomes very hot. Also a low pitch bursting sound can also be heared just before the shutdown.

Also to mention recently i did a factory reset and i have not experienced this problem yet after that.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] DurimKlaiqi:
Can someone send me the stock camera .apk??
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralex76:
Hi All,

I've got a gtab with a custom tnt rom,I would like to get gtab work with android >= 4.4 , I found some work done by borkata at tabletroms.com ..and he said that he attempted to get android 4.4 work on gtab but issue was in the kernel. and he doesn't have this device to try himself...

Point is that rom might be ready because Borkata is still developing some rom for adam notion ink (device very similar to gtab except the ram which is 1gb on adam instead of 512mb on gtab). I'm available to use my spare time to get it work, but I need some expert who can help me to explain what steps I need to do.... I've got computer science experience and I've already read some guide around here....What basically I need is a mentor who can assist me on this process.....

My first question is: Since we already have a kernel for gtablet, could I use it instead of that in the adam rom and try to flash it?

If not, how can I download the latest kernel and generate one for gtable? if so, any good guide around?

Same question for the rom, can I download the AOSP and create one for gtablet? if so, any good guide around?

Finally, for any issue over this work, would someone be available to help me to troubleshooting?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limarc820:
Hi! I need help. My phone just died on me while I was browsing the net. Now it won't turn on, and it doesn't even respond to the charger.

I tried holding the power button, volume down button and the first time I went for the shut down option. And then, tried turning it on, it turned only to show the google logo and then display goes black again.

Next I tried the recovery mode, pressed power button, volume up, still no response.

I have no idea what is happening and what to do.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aciupapa:
It's nexus 5 forum. Not 5x. Move the thread.

try powering off the phone, booting in fastboot and flash latest factory image with full wipe. Might help
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swa100:
Hey all,

I'm on the 7.1.1 dev preview, rooted,twrp recovery, adaway and substratum installed. I've also done some pixel-stuff additions. Anyway, until yesterday I've always had to decrypt the device when booting. I also had to decrypt when booting in twrp recovery. Well, since yesterday I suddenly don't have to decrypt anymore. Does anyone has any clue how this is possible? I didn't lose any data or something.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Greetz,

Swa100
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swa100:
Also, in settings it just says encrypted. So, what does all this mean?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milly7:
Looks like you're encrypted. If all you did was flash the factory image and twrp in fastboot and then flash the mods, then most likely you are now encrypted, especially if you flashed the userdata.img
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swa100:
Well, I figured out what happend. My phone changed the encryption password on it's own to the "default password". I saw this somewhere in twrp when looking around. After changing the security pin, it worked again!
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jogee:
I've been playing around with VRidge a lot lately, and it's really cool - being able to play VR games on my computer and stream them to my phone is nice. I'm using the 5ghz wifi streaming method for now and it works great, but... My phone heats up a lot after 10-15 minutes. Through some testing of various non-streaming GearVR games and apps, I can say with some certainty that it's the fact I'm streaming over wifi that's causing my phone to heat up.

So knowing that, I've been trying to get tethering to work. Of course the first thing I did was just try to turn it on in my settings - but Verizon wants another $30/month for the honor, which is just absurd since I'm already paying that for 2 whole gb of bandwidth a month. So with that out the window, I've tried a few other options:

Cyanogenmod Tether

PdaNet+

A method I found here involving Network Signal Refresher

Pulling my sim card (Won't even let me try without a sim card in)

Rooting methods... Obviously can't do any of these because as far as I know, the Verizon Note 5 has yet to be rooted. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

Needless to say, none of these worked... For RiftCat at least. I've submitted a feature request to utilize a tether app instead of the native tether, but some brief googling makes me think this may not be possible (The developer of a competing project mentioned something along those lines last year).

So, I have a few ideas that I wanted XDA's opinions on:

A "test sim card" - I can pick a few up for a few dollars. Will this allow me to enable usb tethering, or will it check to see if the SIM card is valid / has 5g first?

A usb-to-ethernet cable, plugged into an ethernet card on my computer and hopefully finding a way to make my phone think it's just a wifi connection. Is this even possible? I had the idea an hour ago and haven't had much time to research it.

Drilling holes into my GearVR phone cover, attaching a fan to it, and hoping it can cool my phone's CPU down.

New idea: Get a sim card from a "pay for what you use" service like Ting and turn off mobile data when I use USB tethering... Can this iteration of the Note 5 do that?

...?

On a related note, is there a more active place I can post this to? I picked this forum because it's specific to my device, but I feel like it's an issue a lot of people have.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] porscheoscar:
Weird thing just started happening. When the screen is off on standby the second screen is reversed, it displays my settings for when the screen is on (favorite apps, most recent apps, etc).. And when I wake up the screen the second screen when swiped will now only display my setting for when the screen is off (time, battery icon, signal strength, etc.). However if I launch an app the second screen goes back to working fine. Huh?? Scratching my head.

I've rebooted several times, turned off the second screen settings and restored them, nothing seems to be working.

Strange I never had this issue on my V10. Anyone else seeing this? Verizon v20.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] porscheoscar:
Update: this is a Nova Launcher issue. I started up on safety mode and the second screen had no issues with the other launchers. Uninstalling Nova....

[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I've created an app that wakes ambient display when you take the phone out of your pocket or if you have the phone face down and turn it over. The app is in addition to Google's ambient display and does not change your lock screen in anyway.

I added a few other paid features for lift to unlock, wave to unlock, pulsing at an interval, and battery percentage display on the ambient display.

I have a thread going on the Pixel XL forums and a number of people have been testing it out. I think it's stable enough to start spreading the word.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or run into any problems. Thank you!

Check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.ambiturner
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Atemi1337:
I'm interested, but it appears your link is dead.

Edit: found it in play store. Went ahead and got pro for lift to wake.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Thank you! I fixed the link...cut and paste truncated the link.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Melecatius:
I'm testing it since four days and can absolutely recommend it.

No battery drain here at all. Proper functionality and even more options with every new version.

Keep up the great work.

Edit: do you have PayPal? I'm gonna hook you up with a beer. ;)
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Haha, thank you. The app support is more than enough thanks!
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Taebom:
Just bought the pro version. Coming from a note 7 and missing that ambient display, :( this great app will do.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] km8j:
Looks great.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Taebom:
Thank you very much sir
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] christianearl:
Trying it on a Nexus 6p. So far i'm loving it.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] jdubya42:
Bought pro, thanks!
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
So I've done some limited testing with the app white listed from doze and so far it improves the responsiveness significantly. I don't know the battery impacts yet, but if it's not noticeable I'll add code to prompt users to white list it.

Other upcoming changes:

Advanced settings to adjust wait times for how long the phone has to be in your pocket or laying flat before a wake can occur.

A pulse option that initially pulses faster when a notification comes in, and progressively shows down until the timeout.

Possibly change in lock screen battery indicator appearance.

Filter on laying flat thresholds. I suspect the accelerometer incorrectly reports the phone tilted while it is laying flat on occasion.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Wrapp:
Just bought the Pro version, thanks for the nice app.

Unfortunately the ambient display doesn't light up on my Pixel if the phone is unlocked, e.g. by SmartLock. Typically, I have the phone lying next to me on the desk at work or at home und the phone is unlocked by location based SmartLock. This is where I would like to see incoming notifications without touching the phone. Do you think this is possible to implement?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I'll look into that. I've got an idea that may work.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Taebom:
For me wave to wake works with smart lock in my home. :confused:
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Wrapp:
Doesn't work for me.

More important (maybe only for me): the screen doesn't light up without interaction if the phone is unlocked by smartlock. That's the same behavior as with the ROM build in ambient display feature. It only lights up the screen when the phone is locked.

Thanks a lot for looking into that. This would overcome the disappointing original Google ambient display implementation!

If i can help somehow (testing,...) please let me know.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Do you still have ambient display enabled in settings? Mine is working with the location smart lock turned on and ambient display enabled.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Wrapp:
Tested again..

Ambi-turner enabled.

In display settings

Ambient display : on

Display timeout : 15sec

Security settings:

Pin lock screen after 10min

On/off button locks immediately

(I'm not on an English version, hope the translations are understandable)

The phone is in an area where is unlocked by location based smartlock.

Test 1: wait for 15sec until the screen switches off, wait another minute, send me an WhatsApp from 2nd phone: i hear the notification sound, screen doesn't turn on. If i turn on the display using the on/off button i am on the home screen.

Test 2: switch off the screen by on\off button, (i can hear the lockscreen notification) and send me a WhatsApp from another phone. I hear the notification sound, screen turns on and shows the message. If i turn on the phone by on/off button I'm on the lock screen.

Just bought pro - nice job!
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] jazzh:
I' ve just tested it on my Nexus 5 with PureNexus 6.0.1 rom. PN has ambient display function in settings but it doesn't work because Nexus 5 doesn't have pick up sensors or pocket sensors. Therefore I've been looking for some solution how to wake it, for example cmactions-wave to wake or similar. For the previous period I've been using GravityBox but it's battery hungry.

I see now that ambi-turner works also, so testing it ATM... :)

nice work...
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Thank you. I'm posting an update soon. I'm testing a new mechanism that is waking the screen up much more reliably than the current version.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Thank you. I'm posting an update soon. I'm testing a new mechanism that I think will wake the screen up much more reliably than the current version.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] wr8_utd:
In the pro version, will the wave feature unlock the phone or just bring up the Ambient Display like tilting does?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] b316kane:
It will only bring up ambient display :)
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] dmbfan36_23:
I've been beta testing this, it works well, and the developer has been very responsive!

-- ctash
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] varun.gid:
I have been in touch with dev with beta testing, he's amazing and figures out things really fast. This app is a must.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] MersauX:
I got Pro, works well, some issues with tilt to wake, sometimes it doesn't wake. Since the latest update a continuous notification appears on the lockscreen Ambi-Tuner is running. Is that so by design?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
It is. The intention is to keep from stopping or pausing the background service. I'm working on a way to hide it. For now, I'm told by some users that going into Androids notification settings and hiding it from the lock screen works.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] FoleyRose:
Tilt to wake very rarely works for me. Wave and out of pocket are pretty consistent though.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] H_Mark:
I'm finding pocket/pickup fairly reliable and wave very reliable now that I've got the hang of the gesture.

One question - what sort of impact on battery is this likely to have?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] killall:
Been using this on my Pixel for a couple of days, everything works as it should and haven't noticed any effect on battery. Good work Dev..
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] FoleyRose:
I'm waiting for the fix for the persistent notification, it's driving me nuts. And anything below notification level 4 that I've tried made the app stop working.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] The Nerdy Engineer:
Great app! I've been searching for something like this, but all of the other ones really sucked. Is there a way to have it turn on the display when picking up the phone even if there aren't any notifications? The Moto X used to do that, and I'm really missing that feature. That will also solve the issue of not knowing if the app is working correctly or not.

I paid for the pro version to help support you so that you keep developing this app. It's an excellent start, but it could use some additional development!
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] piccit:
It should just show the clock when there aren't any
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
New update posted.

I may have discovered what is causing the intermittent nature of wave to wake. I made some changes in how I'm using the proximity sensor so that should help. I'll have to wait and see after a day or so of use to see how consistent it is.

I also added an option to turn off the wake from pocket.

There's now a help screen with an email developer button and some troubleshooting hints. I've been getting a large number of 1 star reviews, and many of them are people who don't realize you need to have ambient display turned on and a lock screen set, so I included more info on that. It's been taking up way too much of my time emailing people instructions on how to set up a lock screen with notifications.

Oh, and the notification is now hidden unless you have the Battery Indicator selected!

If anyone is still having problems with tilt to wake please let me know. On my Pixel XL that has been working every time all day. There is sometimes a delay, but I think that's due to the aggressiveness of Android 7.1 putting the device into sleep.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Wrapp:
Thanks for all the hard work.

I still have he problem, that the screen doesn't wake up automatically (without tilting, waving,...) if the phone isn't locked by the lockscreen (e.g. unlocked by SmartLock or the lockscreen timeout isn't lapsed). Is there any chance to overcome this?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] H_Mark:
Looks like pocket, pick up, and wave are all still working fine for me post-update. I'm not using tilt because I find a wave more convenient.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] FoleyRose:
Awesome! I'll re-enable it and try it again and report back.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Do you mean the screen is still on?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Wrapp:
No.

Screen timeout = 10sec

Lockscreen (pin) timeout =30min

So the screen goes off after 10 sec. If i receive a notification between the 10sec and the 30min the screen doesn't light up automatically (since the lockscreen is not active). After the 30min a new notification will light up the screen (now the lockscreen is activated)

If the phone is unlocked by smartlock the screen never turns on automatically

What I would need is an 'Ambient Display on Notification' independent from the lock state of the Pixel
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Oh I understand now. Ambient Display won't work without the lock screen. I'd have to make a custom overlay and show the notification. Definitely can be done but may take some time.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] jhester1967:
I'm still having issues with tilt to wake. Regular Pixel, from google store. If that helps
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] FoleyRose:
Same for me. Tilt to wake is about 20% success, out of pocket is around 60% I'd say. Wave is the most reliable one.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Melecatius:
Tilt to wake/Lift to wake is like 80% not working.

Gimme back the beta :D

It used to work great, but now it's not reliable anymore.

I tried it without battery optimisation, deleted cache, restarted... Nothing helped. Lockscreen is untouched.

Keep up the good work! U do great stuff!
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Taebom:
2 waves and 3 waves to wake doesn't seem to work that reliable.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] killall:
I can get both to work if I don't wave too quickly.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] bostonirishguy13:
It's been a little janky for me of late. Not sure if it's due to Doze.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] nednednerb:
I'm having issues with "device administrator locked device" and fingerprint not working. Fingerprint is more secure than a highly visible pattern. Therefore, I cannot fingerprint to unlock when I see a notification when the screen wakes on pocket extraction or after wave awake.

Stock configuration on Pixel
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Taebom:
Mine only works when I wave quickly
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I'm adding some customization to the wave wake. Unfortunately I'm unable to customize hand distance from phone as pixel and nexus proximity sensors don't have the same granularity as the moto phones.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Can you send me more info? I've never seen that and the app doesn't have device administrator permissions.

I use fingerprint unlock on my own pixel xl.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] nednednerb:
Hi, yes, the missing info was the use of a screen lock app (used to save power button). That app -was- a device administrator. I think the issue is the "lockNow()" command.

I only noticed the fingerprint not working when I added in Ambi-Turner to the mix, so something in between Ambient Display and device admin screen locking apps breaks one or the other! Kind of annoying.

The solution I found was a custom kernel with deeper level code for screen off event by swipe.

Not using the screen lock app, Ambi-Turner works quite well now!

Thanks for responding :)
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrakifa:
Works perfect, bought the pro version, thanks dev

So great.

Thanks and sorry about your loss!
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] TabletConnect:
Nice, I really liked this feature on my S7. Will check out the app!
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] HeCareth:
Hate to be the one that points out the elephant in the room, but with the new Pixel update coming is this app still necessary?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] TabletConnect:
What does that update include?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] b316kane:
It includes the raise to wake and double tap to wake. However this app will still be useful since wave to wake is so amazing
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I'll likely be able to hook into Googles tap to wake and lift sensor and use those in conjunction with other sensors to further customize it. There's also pulse, wave, and unlock from pocket which isn't going to be in the official version.

But of course you're welcome to use the built in stuff when they implement it.

As long as people are using the app I'll continue adding features. I'm probably going to add my own version of ambient display soon for devices that don't have it (if I can keep the battery impact reasonable).
