[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crayphish:
Hi all, this is a bit of a long one.

tl;dr - I'd like to improve the fingertip performance of the Shield K1 I purchased recently, which frequently drops parts of swipes. This issue becomes worse when a screen protector is applied, but is mitigated under certain stylus situations, when plugged in, or when 'grounded' against the body of the user...

The screen frequently 'drops' swipes (the path is broken during the swipe) with 2 or more fingers on the screen, when a screen protector is applied (tried both plastic and tempered glass). It also does this when there is no screen protector applied, although far less often.

This makes the device unacceptable for touch-based rhythm games like VOEZ, Cytus or Starlight Stage, or for MIDI/OSC apps with sliders.

The performance is at it's worst when both fingers are near aligned on X or Y axes, and is apparent on apps like "Yet Another Multi Touch Tester", where rubbing the screen with two fingers aligned on the same axes will cause the touches to drop and swap IDs repeatedly. The issue is not apparent in casual use apart from the errant swipe changing directions or not having the right amount of momentum.

Performance improves significantly in a few scenarios:

Unit is plugged in to charge

Unit back is in contact with user (resting in lap, held in another hand)

With Stylus touch blocking disabled, direct stylus 2 is touched to screen during fingertip input, then swapped for a finger (???)

Based on the last point, the device seems more than capable of reliable reading of fingertip swipes, but only after the stylus has triggered some kind of change??

I've tried the included About Tablet touch calibration page, adjusting the touch pressure scaling in the touch.idc. Based on the touch.idc, I assume this is an Atmel Maxtouch digitizer, but I can't find much information on how these would handle screen protectors. They do seem to be able to read touches before contact is made with the screen surface, but I cannot find any way to increase the sensitivity to this point.

I have a Nexus 9 which shares the same Nvidia Tegra K1 chip (albeit dual core, 64-bit), and uses a Synaptic DSX touch screen, that has no such issue even when 2-3 screen protectors are applied at once... of course, this digitizer will not read the directstylus 2.

My main goal is to try and get this touch screen reading fingertip swipes accurately, even at the cost of stylus support etc. Does anyone know of any ways to adjust touchscreen sensitivity to account for dropped swipes like this? Are there any tools for debugging Android's reading of the touch screen at system level? I'd really like to know what the stylus is doing to improve sensitivity...
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerandroid:
Any update on this?

I'm also having the same problems with the shield k1. It's especially apparent when my fingers get a little sweaty. The only fix I have so far is to keep them absolutely dry. I sometimes use powder on my hands and will go to the extreme of using latex gloves just to get the touches to register correctly. If you find any other solutions, please update this post.
[Samsung Gear S] kwrose14:
So I enrolled in the Samsung Nougat Beta Test for my S7 Edge thinking that is should be just fine. After all the last thing they really need is bad PR from this after everything else.

Phone updated with out issues. Applications updated. Settings held without issue.

When it came to sync the watch again to the phone, not happening.

Gear Manager application is now Samsung Gear Manager for N. It looks like it is built into the OS now, as there is no longer a delete option of the application.

When I go to sync the phone with the application, I open the application, press the button to select the gear. I select the Gear S (D5BD) button.

It then advances to the next screen where it says preparing to connect.... and a pop up displays Notice. Installation failed ! Error Code: 5

I called Samsung Support and they had me clear data and force stop the application along with reset the Gear S and there is still no change.

Tried contacting the Samsung Nougat department, and of course they are closed for the day.

Has anyone here experienced this issue, and if so how did you resolve.

If you can offer me any solutions so I can use the watch once again, I would greatly appreciate it. Starting to go through with drawl. If I had know it wasn't going to be working, I certainly would not have updated.

Thanks for taking a look at the post and giving it a thought or two. Greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Gear S] MHatter469:
I am going through a similar issue, and after spending eternity with high level techs on the phone and in person at a Samsung store, I found that the answer lies in the Gear S. The last firmware update for the watch was early this year, and the watch itself cannot communicate with Nougat. Even though Gear Manager will communicate with Nougat. Right now we are at the mercy of Samsung to update the Firmware for a 3 year old device, that has been replaced by 2 generations...
[Samsung Gear S] kwrose14:
Fix received

received a fix from Samsung that worked and wanted to share.

1. Go to settings

2. Select Application Manager

3. Select Update Gear Software and uninstall it.

when this is complete, go back to the Gear Manager app and try to re-connect. It will take a bit longer than normal, but will finally connect and sync.

Back in business baby!!

Hello guys, let's get right into it.

It's not just one profile, they are multiple profiles that work together.

So when your phone gets stolen there's pretty much nothing u can do if u have left ur data and GPS off, Tasker solves all of this. Btw I have a nexus 5 running android 7.1 NDE63P

Profile1: when my phone receives a text saying "gps", it activates it using SECURE SETTINGS working along with Tasker (root is required btw)

Profile2: when phone receives text saying " data", it obviously enables data through a shell command, the code is "svc data enable"

Profile3: when it receives a text saying "ring", it starts ringing like it has got no brain, I have an app installed called VOLUME LOCK, and what it does is it simply lets u set up your volume for (RINGER, ALARM, MEDIA) (in the Volume Lock app), and it locks them, so when the app is running u can not turn down the volume of anything, and I just force stop the app, and the first thing Tasker does after receiving the text that says " ring" is it launches the app, so Tasker goes like this ( Launch app, play music through media, play ringtone through ringer, play alarm ringtone through alarm) THIS IS USEFUL IF YOU LOST YOUR PHONE INSIDE THE HOUSE OR IF U WANNA FREAK OUT THE THIEF BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY TO SHUT IT OFF (I even blocked power menu from lock screen using an app called SMART LOCKSCREEN PROTECTOR) and most people don't know that u can reboot phone by holding the power button for 10 seconds, so we're pretty safe here

Profile3: when phone receives text saying "dnd", Tasker simply puts phone on do not disturb if u just want to track your phone using ANDROID DEVICE MANAGER from a PC or something

I have all of these profiles backed up, just give me ur email and I'll happily send to you

And if u need any more explanation don't hesitate to ask.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Lange_666:
I also have one but only one profile and one task, it's all there but it lacks the ringer lock (in fact, mine does not make a noice except for the incomming message but i like the ringer lock idea).

It does ceveral checks on the different states of the GPS, Mobile Data and Wifi and turns them on accordingly. Then waits a while (for the GPS to get a fix), then gets the location and checks this against the last known one.

If the GPS get's a fix, the data is stored in variables, then it does the same for the mobile data location and then collects Wifi data.

Then this data is verified against the last known position and an SMS is generated which contains all this data (if it can't get a GPS or Mobile Data fix it also mentions this in the SMS) including battery level, active provider and all Wifi data it can get.

Then the SMS is send and then the phone is put back into it's previous state it was in (this last part is done to not interfere with other profiles i have currently running and for testing purposes).

I would like to include a bit more into this profile but that's for later.

Due to all the waiting and the timeouts in getting the location data, it can take up to 10 mins before a return SMS is received.

Now, it only works decently when you can get a GPS or Mobile Data fix. Otherwise the data returned isn't much of any value. Same goes for all those find my phone apps. If they don't get a location fix, they are not able to track your phone.

I have recently started using Tasker and I'm amazed at some of the things it can do (no root) and I'd be grateful for the profiles for dnd as I could definitely use it. If u have any other profiles u think are cool I will check them out. So far all I have it doing is using greenify to hibernate automatically and linking to my usual WiFi networks etc. Still trying to work out how to change to my WiFi when I lose my mobile data connection at home (for WiFi calling)

Any way to send a sms to predefined number in case the SIM gets changed automatically?

That would be the best anti theft plugin as the thief firstly throws the old SIM away. Which actually renders these plugins useless.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] duckredbeard:
You should consider using AutoRemote Messages to initiate those tasks instead of SMS messages. They are "invisible" and are not SIM dependent. A SIM card swap out would render this entire operation useless. AutoRemote messages are internet based, so any internet connection would be needed.

Yes you can turn the tasker app into a system app using other rooted apps such as ROM toolbox pro... The app will then survive a data wipe, and honestly, if I were the one to steal a phone with these configurations I'd easily delete everything and make it mine. But I'm doing all of this assuming the thief isn't as tech savvy as we are.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ziko900:
UPDATE:

Working on a similar system for android 8.1.0 on a Nexus 5X. Having trouble making some things happen but I'll post soon.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] pawwaap:
But what about its data? Data about true owner, i.e. how to contact and inform him/her, is the most crucial in such a situation!

But the most often situation is something in between.

As it happend e.g. to my friend: she were sittings for a long time with friends on a bench in a park, they were talking a lot and drinking a beer for several hours. When it stayed dark they returned home. In the morning she realized she left her phone on the bench! Quickly came there but there wasn't anything already. We tried to phone the nymber but it was out of service - someone took away the SIM card. No trace whatsever.

The battery was at least half full.

Probabely a cleaner has found it, changed SIM card. No ROM flashing, factory reset only is the most probable scenario.

And if an application had sent the information about a "new" number then it would be enough! In my country, Poland, all SIM cards, even prepaid, must be registerred.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ziko900:
What you said is interesting, maybe a system app so that it would survive the reset, it would detect any sim card not just a new one, then send the information to a target number/email... I don't know how possible this is but I will definitely look into and see what I can do. Btw I am by no means a programmer and I don't know any programming language, this entire subject made me wanna learn tho.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] pawwaap:
However, again, as you are saying "target number/email" must be written somewhere - and there where "factory reset" does not wipe it.

Ideally if it were somewhere in /system partition, maybe in /system/etc?

And maybe just hardwired into the apk?

Then, before "installing" it (into /system), the apk would be prepared by another apk.

In fact this forum is about Tasker so everybody interested in would read here instructions where to write into "owner's contact data" before compiling Tasker profile into desired apk

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] dima-82:
hey guys,

really interesting ideas. I implemented some of them on my OP5 already some time ago. But I was missing some things in the whole discussion:

Indeed, the protection is only interesting for the first minutes or hour. If the phone is switched of, its gone....

For the first moments I added the following:

I have GPS always off, only when I need it I switch it on. Since a couple of years switching GPS is not possible if phone is locked.

So, tasker counts the failed attempts to unlock and after a certain amount activates GPS, makes a picture with the front cam and sends it to a specified email.

For sure the thief will try to unlock the phone first.

Problem 1: An internet connection is required. If there is one, you can try to track your phone with the google service.

Problem 2: You have to be lucky to have a proper picture of the thief. Maybe make several pictures?! Does not work at all in dark environment, since there is no flash light at the front cam.

Another idea was to send the picture and show a notification, that a picture from the user is taken and will be reported to the police.

Start a program, any program will do.

While that is running, slide your finger from the left side of the screen to the right.

Does anything happen?

(try it a few times, it takes a few attempts before you get used to touchflo)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] PaY87:
the cube is not added yet.

but you can scroll very easy with the fingers instead using scroll bars e.g. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Starfury:
Anyone got a resource list of available cubes?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mitch1974:
It was for the task switcher, not the cube.

If the finger scrolling is working, that means you're using touchflo.

If you look at the thread for Schap's ROM there is a picture in the first post that tells you what the default touchflo gestures are (just about the pictures of his personalised cube).

I rooted my v20 simply for viper4android and to enable the google assistant. Nothing else was done.

Ever since rooting, before even installing v4a, the notifications pull down was lagging when trying to swipe things away (it would leave a blank white space). Now, tons of things lag:

When trying to setup Google Voice

When opening Poweramp

When trying to pause or skip tracks in Spotify

When closing Chrome

The phone will hang; if I pressed a soft menu button, it will stay lit until the phone recovers.

I have factory reset, installed busybox and supersu only and still received the lag.
