[Touch Cruise General] dtancu:
I am either going nuts or this is a common isue:

Normally when you tap "lock" on home screen the brightness diminishes and the phone is locked. To unlock, you have to tap "unlock" on the lower left side of the screen, hen you get a message telling you to tap again unlock in the middle of the screen and its unlocked.

Well, my Polaris only does this sequence sometimes. Especially if I let it go in standby for a couple minutes, as soon as I press any key I get another story:

In lower left corner of screen I have the word" cancel". Tapping it doesn't give me another "unlock" button on screen and the phone remains locked. I have to put it in standby from the power button and then try again to get the normal unlock behaviour.

Anyone else experiences this?
[Touch Cruise General] dtancu:
Nobody? So everybody's unlock feature works like it should?

Then I think it's reset time for my Polaris....
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
I personally don't use, the device lock feature... Just the standby, whith the HW buttons off... and it works just fine for me :)
[Touch Cruise General] gainasp:
I have noticed that when you press the central button in the TC, what you describe is what exactly happens. But this happens to me only when I do that. If a tap the screen without touching the button, I have the normal behaviour.
[Touch Cruise General] dtancu:
Yes, exactly.

@gnick: if I use the standby with HW keys lock it works ok for me also.

The issue is only with the HTC Home lock feature and the central key
[Touch Cruise General] Sky740:
Yes, but very rarely and even then when I press Cancel the normal lock screen resumes and I unlock in the normal way. I have "Do not lock all buttons" selected in the Key Lock settings. Don’t know if this is significant.
[Touch Cruise General] CompleteIdiot:
2 stages for screen lock?

I use my TC while riding motorcycle, so I want several apps (TomTom, gps tracking [gps.run]), music [was WMP, but now Coreplayer] and TellmeText) running and the screen off so as to save battery power.

If you press the power button when key lock is on it will turn the display completely off, and *most* programs will keep running. TomTom is a notable exception- it stops working, presumably because it can no longer access the gps?. But better behaved/next generation GPS apps such as run.gps continue to run. WMP, bless its pathetic cotton socks, seems to work sometimes!

Are these inconsistecies uinique to my unit, or known quirks?

Anyone suggest a app that will turn the screen off and allow ALL open apps to run, including TomTom?

Thanks
[Touch Cruise General] hambola:
I don't know how you're operating any of the buttons on the TC with riding gloves on!!
[Touch Cruise General] CompleteIdiot:
anyone got anything more useful to add to what was a serious comment/Q
[Touch Cruise General] CompleteIdiot:
Man, the battery life sucks on this device :( So my quest on how to turn the screen completely off and lock the keys properly while running all software (especially GPS based such as TomTom) continues....

Anyone know of a 3rd party app that will do this?

I have not read all 200 pages, but it seems there are mixed results for running S2U2 on the Touch Cruise (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=353008) ? Anyone having success?

Thanks
[Touch Cruise General] Ramakin:
I know its late but I just saw this and thought I would mention that I managed to over come using TomTom without the device being on. However it doesnt save much on power as the GPS device need power to work.

But I using a simple function I wrote in my application to lock the device using the standard device lock API calls and then rather than switchingthe device into sleep mode (off) I switched it into IDLE mode, which is basically just switching the screen off, the device lock prevents any unwanted button presses.

The power button would just return this back to normal.

I have not yet worked out how to stop the device brightness changing when the screen lock is enabled on the device... :/ Which is my next task.
[Touch Cruise General] CompleteIdiot:
Ramakin...

well that would be great because even saving having the screen dimmed during lock would help battery life. And, pressing the power button to resume would be MUCH easier than stabbing around at in the sun trying to unlock the screen. It would also make TomTom behave like all other 21C GPS applications, i.e. run on idle.

So, can you send details?

During a recent motorbike trip where I just used TomTom and tracking software (even turned the phone off) I was SHOCKED :eek: at how crap the battery life was :(

[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] -xmo-:
hi there.

im using F5121 using a custumized android N 7.1.2 NZH54B version (running on omniROM).

so i want to know is there any app or solution, that can get me an offline answering machine like on the store xperia phones with original software?

it should have the functions to get a timer when the phone runs a message "im not there, leave me a message" and then the caller can leave me one and im able to play this offline on my phone (dont want to connect to the internet, like a voicemail, want to have this messages directly on my phone).

did someone have a solution?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Aguyos:
Hello guys everything is in the title. I 'm looking for a rom wich give a very good life for battery.

Thanks for answer.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] XxLordxX:
Hi,

It's not a good thing to ask for best ROM for xxxx reason. Everyone has different usage patterns and different needs, so that different ROM will suit them or you better.

You can instead, open the main ROM threads (both in Android and Original Android Development for S7 Edge) and see what the latest posts are complaining and what they are talking about what's good and what's bad about the ROM. Usually some users even post screenshots of their battery usage screen.

Another option is to go to a "How's Battery Life" or something like that thread and check what usage is similar to yours and what ROM the person reporting the battery life used.

All the best,

~Lord
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Aguyos:
Hello Lord. I ever test plenty rom. Batman, ambasadii, superman, project alice, superstock.

So, I finish to be loose in all of them. That's why i asking. Because for me battery life is important. And other things, we find some problems with Snapchat in some of theme.

So in fact i'm looking for the best rom for me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankee207:
Hello to all,

Is there a way to edit data usage ? I am speaking about data usage NOT data cycle, which can easily be changed.

Each time we flash a new rom, data usage is no more synched with real data usage. And we can't edit edit, which is such a pain.

Is there a way to edit this information ? A file to edit maybe ?

Thanks you in advance

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marchinho6:
I have tested succesfully Permissive mode on stock Nougat firmware on LG G4.

Fredom ROM V5 are my daily rom.

First of all you have to install latest TWRP and Nougat bootloader:

TWRP: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/g4/twrp-3.1.1-1-g4.img

N Bootloader and modem: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=194933

Install ROM.

I suggest Freedom ROM V5 with SuperSu root method (more stable than Magisk): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=194680

You have 2 choices to set the kernel into permissive mode: by app or by terminal emulator.

For noobies I suggest an app to set permissive mode very easy:

Download and install this app: https://github.com/MrBIMC/SELinuxModeChanger/releases/download/10.0/app-release-v10.apk

Grant root permission and tap on permissive mode without switch anythings.

Reboot.

OK Now the phone are in permissive mode. Congrats.

If you want Xposed on your Lg:

Flash into recovery : http://fastkit.org/xposed/classic/SDK24/26-07-17-xposed-v87-sdk24-Xposed-by-PurifyOS.zip

Reboot

Install Xposed Installer App: https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=25965

Ok Now the phone have installed Xposed!

If you want Viper4android mod on your Lg, follow this step:

Install BusyBox: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=it

Reboot

Flash ViPER4Android_2.5.0.5_guitardedhero.zip in TWRP: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6m09MQQu3aVQUN4c0FxV25ldEE

Go to vendor\etc and remove/rename audio_effects.conf using any file manager with root access (ex. Root Browser or ES File Explorer)

Open ViPER4Android app and install driver (Grant root permission). (It could freeze for a few seconds, just be patient!)

Reboot

If I helped click on thanks button. It's free :D

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] shawqi_khoury:
Hi

i got 2 brand new S8 G950FD and i got the same problem with both

tge magnetic sensors "compass" keeps losing calibration.

this becomes very annoying when using Google maps onfoot everything is upside down .

recalibrating the sensor is always successful but for some reason it doesn't stick for long even when using high accuracy location settings

I'm not sure if the problem is with Google maps compatibility with the S8 or with the sensor itself

anyone having the same issue ?

does the calibration rest automatically when going to the sensor app (*#0*#) ?(even though I'm going to the sensor app becomes the map is upside down )

thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] thahim:
Where is this sensor?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] shawqi_khoury:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] thahim:
I don't see any magnetic sensor in there.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] shawqi_khoury:
dial *#0*# -> sensor-> scroll down you should see magnetic sensor

i think it's the same with all S8 devices

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Presterin:
My FD doesn't play nice with one of my cases, as it has some metal in the back of the case. Compass won't even calibrate when the case is on. Makes sense though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] shawqi_khoury:
make since but i don't have any metal in the case, and it does calibrate
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] fmtopgun:
I've got exactly the same problem. I never thought that a protective case could be the problem, however, I'm using the Samsung original clear case and it does recalibrate...but it's very annoying because you can't rely on your compass, it will abandon you without warning.

Has anybody found a fix to that? Is it hardware related?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] nakedpantsu:
So I got my G6 a few days ago and I just noticed today that the wide-angle lens on my G6 is off-centered. Should I be worried? I only have a couple of days to have it quickly replaced. I'd rather not bother if there's no problem with it being not centered.

Hi there,

One quick question for those who may have tried: do we lose the Spen features when using any other launcher than Touchwiz ? I personally can't live without Nova... . And what about the widgets ?

Thanks in advance !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] teegunn:
I've always used Nova on my Note's (N2,3 4 7) in the past and the SPen features worked. I don't remember them not working at least, although it is possible some of them may not have. I plan on using Nova again on my Note 8 and in the past upon taking the pen out the SPen features will likely pop up as they would on stock launcher. Others can chime in if they have further info and/or I am off on this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] krabman:
They worked fine on the Note 7 with action launcher, at least those functions I use worked. I can also report the edge stuff still worked with it as well, again, those of them I used. It's possible something didn't in either case but I never ran into it. One thing that didn't work was their widgets, they seemed to have been tied in with the stock launcher.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Torquemada288:
As far as I'm aware, the functionality of the S-pen is part of the firmware, not the launcher. Even custom ROMs that are based on official firmware should still support the S-pen. So go nuts. Try a different launcher every day. The S-pen will work fine.

Nova was a Beast on my Note 7, should be just fine on Note 8. Once of the first things you'll wanna do after changing default screen resolution from the default Full HD+ to WQHD+ and then the Animation from 1 to 0.5.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] krabman:
It's a good point, the stock grid wastes a ton of space, you really want a better launcher just to better optimize the space even without getting into all the extra features.

I can't see why not but it's impossible to give a definitive answer when no one has the Note 8 yet.
