1. Do not use keylock function

2. Enable screensaver (it will work as keylock)

3. When you in screensaver mode only two keys will work - Home and Left softkey

There is my settings:

screensaver enabled

keylock disabled

...

screensaver options -> supress key presses - disabled

Easy!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
i know... it s just that i wanted a combination of TWO keys to take it out of screensaver mode.. and thats not currently possible. also u can turn on the screensaver manually, which really sucks...
[General Questions and Answers] Rookie1919:
I've got hope. The GSAMBattery app said it needs rights to display more data. If you have root, the app does that for you. If not, you should enter this command:

adb shell pm grant com.gsamlabs.bbm android.permission.BATTERY_STATS

The way I see it, it simply means that I'm granting rights here that I could otherwise only do with root. Now the question: Is it possible with ALL rights? I would need the superuser for the App Automate, so that it can automatically move my device into the flight mode and out again.

[General Questions and Answers] nixonsherrie:
Try this

You can use Magisk root and use Magisk manager to hide root status from your device to use all applications.:laugh:
[General Questions and Answers] Rookie1919:
Thats not the point. Huawei doesnt give away unlock codes anymore (dont know why) and I also want future OTAs. So actually rooting is no option.

I just wonder bc the line above IS some kind of acting as root. So isnt it possible to gibe rights to other apps the same way?
[General Questions and Answers] Rookie1919:
Is it not possible? Then why did it work with the battery app?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The command that you used is not the same thing as root permissions, you merely granted the app permission for a certain action. No, you cannot use this methid to acheive the sane thing as full root permissions for all apps.
[General Questions and Answers] Rookie1919:
I dont want to do a full root permission with this command. The app Automate need "superuser" rights for putting the device in flight mode. I only want to grant that one for the one specific app.
[General Questions and Answers] thebookman:
This app has appeared on my home screen after I updated numerous apps from Google Play.

I can find no information about it. No idea what it does. It does not appear in Settings - Apps nor does it have a widget. I've attached a screenshot of my home screen when the app is started. It adds a curved set of lines across the lower part of the screen and a icon in top right corner that when pressed, returns the screen to its original form.

Can anyone share information about this app?
[General Questions and Answers] EmZee123:
I've had this exact same thing happen. Weirdly, this posting is the only thing I can find *anywhere* on the internet. It doesn't show up when I display the apps in Application Manager, which is pretty bizarre (and it's not sorted in alphabetical order in my app drawer).

Do you use GoLauncher? They've been touting something about making icons dance when you shake the phone, though that's not *quite* the behavior we see here.

Interestingly (and a bit scarily), when I long-pressed on it to delete it - it disappeared rather than displaying with the 'x' in the corner that would let me uninstall it.
[General Questions and Answers] EmZee123:
An update: I re-sorted my app drawer again and it appeared. When I long-pressed and then pressed the X to uninstall it, I got a message saying "You will not be able to use the shortcut in App Drawer anymore, sure to delete it?".

I'm 99.999% sure this is more odd behavior from Go Launcher - which has become more annoying with every new release, to the point where I'm considering getting rid of it (sudden ads on lockscreen? Sudden pulldown notifications blocking the screen with no way to get rid of 'em?).

I can't imagine a *less* useful shortcut for them to offer, honestly!

although... while MalwareBytes doesn't considered unwanted notifications malware...

they call them PUPs Potential Unwanted Programs..

But I call them Malware.

It looks like.. on Nov 8th

Not sure what it is/was.

long press the notification.

Updated October 27th.

searching the internet.... I didn't find anything of importance..

I don't want to delete it immediately at this time.. not exactly knowing what it is or does..

other than the Spam/Malware intrusion.

I did force stop it.

So.. if anybody has any info on the apk.. please chime in.

It might be very similar to the situation in the thread below which can be resolved once I know what the APK is...

Got an unauthorized download of Gamehub or similar last week and deleted it. Got the same notification about being invited to play games today. Uninstalled Mobile Services updates and then disabled it. No problems so far. This appears to be more crap from Blu masquerading as Google mobile services. It's not a Google app.

I finally fought off the auto downloads and constant notifications resulting from last November's Marshmallow upgrade around March or so. Now it's starting up again. Is November Blu's f with our customers month?

[Blu Vivo XL] CaptKarnage:
I have a BLU V5 (box says V5, reports G5 in the phone). I'm not getting any unwanted ads or downloads, but It has been slow since the day I got it, and lots of RAM used up even when I'm not doing anything and Android doesn't report what's using it.

Last night, I decided to adb it and found com.bluproducts.activationapp and com.digitalturbine.blubar. I couldn't find anything online on com.bluproducts.activation app, but com.digitalturbine.blubar was definitely an ad service, so I uninstalled from adb. Instant speed improvement.

This morning, I noticed it was slow again, when I used adb, I found a new package that wasn't there before, com.dti.blu. So I uninstalled that, and as soon as I did, com.digitalturbine.blubar re-appeared. I uninstalled that and now I decided to also uninstall com.bluproducts.activationapp. I don't know what's causing these to reinstall. I'll see if it's back tomorrow. Anyone know for sure how to keep these packages from re-installing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChopinLim:
Hi,

In order to install Google Play Store, you will need to enable unknown sources to install it. Most guides says to disable it after.

However, can the Google Play Store install apps that way? (Without enabling unknown sources)

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I do not have another Android device to test this out.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] fury683:
It is noticeably warm to the touch after wireless charging but not much different than when taking a long video or playing a game for a long time.

As for limiting speed, using a wireless charger that isn't the Pixel Stand will limit it to ~500mAh as the fast wireless charging is proprietary and exclusive (for now) to the Pixel Stand.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] csrow:
This is note to myself since I seem to forget what I did last month.

This guide assumes you are familiar with ADB and fastboot with a good working connection to the phone. YMMV. Continue at your own risk.

This also assumes you have a working Magisk (ver 18.1 or higher).

0) from essential.com, download the fastboot image zip. Unzip the content to a directory.

0) copy files flash_a.bat and flash_b.bat from below to the directory.

1) adb devices

2) adb reboot bootloader

3) fastboot devices

4) fastboot getvar current-slot (remember the current active slot)

5) flash_(the other slot).bat

6) fastboot reboot

6a) Once you are booted back in your current working slot, use Magisk to install a copy to the other slot. Once Magisk finishes installing, it will change the active slot to the other slot and reboot into that slot.

7a) Here is flash_a.bat

fastboot flash nvdef_a nvdef
fastboot flash boot_a boot
fastboot flash system_a system
fastboot flash bluetooth_a bluetooth

If something goes wrong, you can switch back the active partition to the original partition and recover.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aridmal:
From my experience, you do not have to use the full dump. The OTA package provided by the Essential website will do as well. Once you boot in twrp you can flash the OTA zip to the inactive slot and redo the rooting process.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] csrow:
The provided .bat file only updates the files the are part of the monthly OTA package and not the full dump. The main benefit is the installing of pre-rooted boot image file so that one does not have redo the rooting and install TWRP afterwards.

I have been trying to use the supplied stylus in various writing programmes. I have found the retractable end quite annoying and have come up with a solution. The stylus fits very nicely inside a Parker roller ball pen. I just had to pack the inside top end of the pen with paper. the grey point of the stylus looks like a felt tip pen and it is a joy to use with the likes of Journal. In meetings people think go are using a real pen. Just dont forget to take your pen to work with you.

Stylus

I too find the original stylus difficult to hold .. I don't like the pens that have ballpoint and stylus only because I know myself all too well and know that one day I will scratch my screen by using the wrong end. . LUCKY FOR ME .. in my business I deal with a lot of jewelry and jewelers. Last week I got an antique silver mechanical pencil in with a bunch of scrap silver jewelry. It has a loop on the top to attach to a necklace .. long necklace .. and one of the jewelers that frequent our shop removed parts of the inside of the pencil and gave me a stylus point made from ivory. He made that tip round and smooth and it is awesome. I will post a picture later .. I forgot it at my office on Friday. I have been wishing I had it all weekend.
[Shift Accessories] GeoffC:
Have you ever had that feeling when you have just been totally outdone and feel very inadequate and inferior.
[Shift Accessories] pitt1983:
somtimes i don't use shifts pen, i use my fingers or my montblanc starwalker, but is a little heavy, for my customers is a pleasure for the eyes, i hopeto find a kind of stylus less heavy, but elegant like your geoff.
[Shift Accessories] pitt1983:
you know if montblanc or others make a stylus point to mount on starwalker or others pens?
[Shift Accessories] theonlynickleft:
hey ....

I hope you are joking because that is not how I meant my post to come off. Believe this, I will drop it on the tile floor and break the tip, long before this post gets cold. I have also written down the name of the pen to make my own like yours. I never would have mentioned the ivory thing if your post hadnt arrived around the same time as my new stylus. I am just lucky with the bullion business for my find. I have in the past gotten a Tiffany stylus from the scrap. Search ebay ..you will maybe find one. It is about half as tall as a regular pen with a cap. I rarely use it because I am afraid of using the cap.

A great stylus to get if you could find one is the "bullet" I think it was called. It was made for the game machine Zodiac .. Some guy made them to order out of silver and also stainless I think I lost mine long ago.

I have one other I like where the top of the pen is a stylus, the other end a pen. I removed the pen part and also the clip that was close to the top because it was always in the way .. I have a dozen maybe. I will take a pic of all of them. I am never satisfied I guess.

[Shift Accessories] GeoffC:
No worries

Dont worry about it I was only joking, Im just jealous really and in any event, Im actually far too stupid to feel inferior :-)
[Shift Accessories] stormforger:
as guy who uses tablet pcs I use my tablet pc pens (yes they were designed for an active digtiver screen) they work fine as the stylus for any touch screen interface like what the shift has. Tablet PC pens do not have any regular inking tips so there are perfect for anyone worried about accidentally writting in ink on their shift's screen.

There are plenty of used ones on ebay just do a search for "tablet pen" and pick the one with sytle you like.

If you want a new one that looks like a regular pen and has very nice feel to it then I suggest looking at the one from CROSS. http://www.cross.com/catalog/pendetail.aspx?cat_name=Penabled+Executive+Pen&nav_name=Penabled+Executive+Pen&tech=Electronic+Pen&line=Penabled&finish=

I am personally using a couple of different tablet pc pens the Cross one in the url above and a TC1100 pen. I also use this 4 n 1 stylus, pen, and pencil combo from amazon.
