[Q] Sense 3.0 Ring Lockscreen for AOSP

Anyone know if it can be done? Would definitely be nice.
Latest MIUI has it, works like a charm, but its ".mtz" for their theme engine, won't work on other AOSP roms.

Yes it can be done as a modified version.

Doubtful that it can be ported straight over but the WidgetLocker dev is planning on adding a similar style in the near future.

Cool.
Thanks for replying guys.

Check out Agile Lock. Free version is crap with no settings. But paid is like $1. Looks really good. It's the first release and still works flawlessly on my decks 1.2.1. Looks just like the 3.0 lockscreen. I definitely recommend

I have downloaded this from the Market and noticed an issue.
If I lock my phone by way of the power button, the device will not turn back on resulting in a battery pull.
If the device locks on its own via timeout, the lock will appear when pressing the power button.
Anyone else having this issue? Im on CM7 Nightly's

I was about to download this as well, and read the comments, it's a known issue.

all you need to do for now is press the Volume key, that'll return to the lockscreen...and I'm certain they will fix this bug soon enough.

Physical Keyboard stops working

Quite frequently, my glide's physical keyboard stops working. A reboot fixes it but is kind of annoying to do this once a day
This is a new phone (less than a week old) and I am trying to find out if this is a known issue and if there is a fix for it. If my phone is defective, I might be able to still get a replacement from newegg.
I notice that there was another thread in XDA on the same topic but it quickly moved on to discuss some other issue with no clear advice.
Thanks and appreciate your help,

Stops working all together or opens up different applications when you press a key? I had the latter. If it is the apps opening up double check you do not have any shift type button stuck as that would make it act funny and appear to not be working properly.
Tap on "ALT", "SHIFT", "SEARCH" see if that fixes it.

Thanks for the response. I went back to my old iPhone 3 (Yuck). Let me double check on that when I get home this evening.

If it is launching Different apps then it is the Quick launch that is the cause. You can see what Shortcut is associated with which app go here:Settings -> Applications -> Quick Launch
Most Launch with Search + any key. Perhaps your search button is stuck.

Mine has that problem as well usually requires a reboot as well but can't ever get it to just do it on command. U on a custom rom? Or stock?

If the random apps are opening, open the landscape keyboard and press the search button. If you accidentally press it and then you press a corresponding letter to open a certain app, it'll so that. And when you hit back, the phone thinks that you pressed the wrong letter key and has that quick open on. Just press search again. That's all lol

I also have the problem of physical keyboard that stops working. No random apps, it just stops working. What to do to fix the issue, aside from rebooting?
Thx

I am on stock. It's just annoying when it happens at least once in 2 days.
I am thinking of rooting it and installing a custom rom to see if that takes care of it. Will keep you all posted.
I might turn on the debugging level in the logs as well to see if I can find out what's going on. Given that this happens only every two days or so, not sure if that will help much but let me see.

I am on Rogers stock ROM. At this point, it certainly looks like something to do with the software (will be hard to find several of us having the same hardware problem).

+1.
My keyboard stops working too, but this doesn't happen very often. I experience this about once in 3-4 weeks for now.

I have had this problem a few times as well (on stock AT&T).. QWERTY doesn't respond at all, reboot fixes it! Got me worried the first couple of times though

I continue to run in to this once in a while. I have tried pressing all kinds of keys (search, alt etc) with no success. At times, I see some of the keys working but not others.
Anyway, this looks like software / driver issue. Looks like reboot is the only cure so far.

[Q] Lock Screen

Hello,
Awesome site!
I am currently having an issue where my lock screen will not work. As in, when my phone times out and i hit the power button, no lock screen. It literally boots right into the home screen. I have gone through all of the settings, disable, enabled, changed the type of lock and what not.
Has anyone else ran into this issue?
I am currently running :
CyanogenMod version :
10.1 - 20130704-NIGHTLY-JFLTETMO
Kernel version:
3.40-cyanogenmod-g3905ee4
[email protected]#1
Thu Jul 4 02:02:55 PDT 2013
Baseband version :
M919UVUAMDB
Build number :
cm_jfltetmo-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39E
eng.jenkins.20130704.014817 test-keys
I have already searched the forums for the anyone who has a similar issue and have found nothing.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve this issue, it would be greatly appreciated!
I would imagine that a fresh install would fix this and I will have no problems doing so if that is the only solution.
Looking to see if there is an actual cause for this and if it can be repaired without reloading.
Again, thank you in advance for taking the time to read this, even if you didn't provide a fix.

I think im having a similiar issue, when I timeout I cant get phone to wake ... takes like 20 seconds, like its all fragged out...
Then when it does wake its on the power down reboot menu.
This is my second s4 last one no issues.

Anyone else having lock screen issues? Can anyone provide any insight on why it is happening or what else i should try to make the lock screen behave the way its intended?
I'd hate to have to do a fresh install...and then have it happen again..
Thanks in advance..

What you described in the first post is normal. Say you're reading an online news article and your screen times out, pressing the power button instantly brings you back to that article instead of to your lock screen. It's a controllable feature in my next ROM release.

It is not normal that my phone does not lock at all under any circumstance.
Clearly, i didn't describe my issue very well in my OP.
My lock screen does not work at all, no matter what the settings are.
Thanks in advance!

You said when it times out.. and you press the power button.. it doesn't show the lock screen. I could of swore that's what I read lol.
So even if you leave your phone sit for say five minutes with the screen off there is no lock screen?

You're correct, that is what you read...that was a poor example with little to no detail.
Yes, even when my phone timed out and was left for 5 minutes, it did not lock.
I believe I have resolved the issue by disabling cLock within app manager. Once i did this, it didn't resolve the issue immediately but within the hour, my phone timed out and when I hit the power button, it was locked. I have re-enabled cLock and all seems to be working fine as far as my phone locking when it is suppose too. The issue I'm having now is that my cLock widget settings are not taking effect on the lock screen. As in, color and font boldness. I guess, its better then not working at all..
Maybe you have some insight or suggestions on how to fix this current issue.
Thanks in advance!

First time i heard of "cLock" is it an app on the play store or something? And yes that was gonna be my second recommendation, that there seemed to be an app or some other thing preventing the lock screen from showing.

I would say remove the lockscreen widget and add it again. If that doesn't work, try using a different size widget... I seem to remember having some problems with cLock but I can't remember exactly what I did..

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Sleep of Death

Problem: Cannot turn on the screen by pressing the power button sometimes. The screen is black or very dim, I cannot tell. One can see nothing on the screen, and it doesn’t accept any touch input, either. The phone still rings if there’s an incoming call. If this happens, the following several presses (about 10 - 20) on the power button will probably lead to a reboot. The “screen auto-rotate” and the proximity sensor may fail after the reboot, but will recover after a manual reboot.
Frequency: Fewer with higher Rom version. About once per day for 4.3.
Other description:
 The problem frequently happens when I just take the phone outside my house/office, and seldom happens when the phone just stays somewhere.
 The problem seems to be irrelevant to the remaining battery capacity or the uptime, but it never happens when charging.
 The problem seems to be irrelevant to the Apps installed.
 The problem seldom happens in the first 3-4 days after flashing a Rom, but happens more and more frequently as time goes by. My guess is some cache is stuffed by some trash, which causes the problem. The phone may be fine as long as the trash can be cleaned up on a regular basis.
 I manually reboot my phone at most every two days.
Solutions tried, but don’t work
 Flashing official ROMs 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.2 and 4.3 following the procedure “adb reboot bootloader; fastboot oem unlock; flash-all; fastboot oem lock”, without google wallet, not rooted.
 Turning off the auto-brightness control, as suggested by some post on the Internet.

Does it look like it goes to standby normally or does the screen show gibberish and then turns off?

Thank you very much.
I think it's standing-by normally even through the screen is black (or very dim, I cannot tell), since it rings if there's an incoming call. I can see nothing from the screen, and I don't think the screen accepts any touch input, either.
Does this answer your question? Thank you.

Was just asking if you had gibberish yes or no. In that case i've got a different issue than you (Suspecting f*cked GPU).
Have you tried a different ROM/Kernel combination maybe it's related to that.

No, I just tried the official ROMs. Any suggestion?

Perhaps it's just busy in the background and running low on RAM. Give LagFix a try. Sorry can't link atm as I am on mobile...

LagFix does NOT help in my case. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I've also had this blank screen with calls still ring issue for as long as I can remember, nearly 2.5 yrs.
I've always suspected it's my ROM and so I'd try out another ROM'S, BUT no other ROM works like how I'd like, so I always come back to my ROM.
It doesn't happen every single day, but it does happen very often.
I've tried using apps that auto reboot daily, but eventually this blank screen issue will return.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find any solution, so I just put up with it, it's like the 1 only flaw with my ROM.
&
Not to be at all rude, but I'm really glad op has had this issue from testing other versions of Android, cause then at least I know I don't need to give up my great tablet mode ROM.
LOL

I think I've finally found a work around for this screen of death.
Using Exposed, download/install this module/extension:
Disable Proximity
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mrchandler.disableprox
It does exactly what it's name is and ever since then I've not once had to remove my GN battery to work again because the screen went completely dead.

NVM
Screen still goes dead.
Anyone find an actual fix to this?

isajoo,
I had pretty much the same problems with my Galaxy Nexus running CyanogenMod 11 M12.
It got better by doing the following :
Blowing dry air in the earpiece… though the proximity sensor is clearly beside it. Can't do any harm though, I guess.
Settings/Applications/All/menu/Reset applications preferences (or whatever that's called in english) : that seemed to do a lot of good to my phone ! However, it's a very unsatisfactory answer on a technical point of view, as I still don't know WHAT was precisely needed. It's a "magic wand" solution for which I can't give an explanation.
Not specifically related, but greatly helped my phone in the responsiveness area : Trimmer (fstrim) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fifthelement.trimmer), an updated version of LagFix that you may already know
Hope that helped !
(I wanted to try http://www.androidlegend.com/how-to-perform-proximity-sensor-calibration-on-any-samsung-phone/ as well, but apparently, /sys/class/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal does not exist on my phone…)

Can't press 'Install' when installing an APK

Good evening, just lately I have encountered a bug when trying to install APK's. When I go to install via Package Installer it will open up the screen and when I go to press next it doesn't do anything, I have tried rotating the screen and pressing Next and it just doesn't work whatsoever...
I powered off my device and powered back on and this seemed like it fixed the problem.
Is/has anyone else encountered this? I've also noticed ometimes when typing on the keyboard the sound goes tinny for 5 seconds or so and go back to normal, it's been like this since unboxing too.

I haven't had this issue exactly, but when I install a new app and it asks for permission to access my location/storage/etc.. I can't press Allow.. I can press Deny though no problem at all. Right now I'm manually going into apps/permissions and granting all my apps whatever I think it needs.. Just a pain to do it that way though!

I had this issue the other night. It seems an invisible overlay gets stuck sometimes. Not sure what app or why, but clearing all the recent apps fixed it for me. Try that if it happens again instead of waiting for the phone to restart.
Sent from my G3223

Also had this problem two days ago and restarting seemed to fix it. I was disabling some of the stock apps at the time so I wondered if that had something to do with it but I don't know, don't think I re-enabled any of the apps or anything before or after the reboot and so far it's been working since.

Thanks for your feedback and I have also had that problem too. Of course yes we can go into app settings and enable and like you stated it's a pain haha. I know this isn't the place to point these problems out and get them fixed but it's nice to know I'm not the only one ??

I'd like to mention I have disabled and uninstalled quite a lot too, but I can't say if this adds to the problem. It'd just be really nice to hopefully get the new build of software that was recently announced on Xperia Blog but I can't say if this will fix the problems etc. I don't know? ??

I've experienced this issue as well and the culprit seemed to be an overlay permission from another app. As I'm sure everyone knows, this phone's screen is very bright even at it's lowest setting. I like to read at night and the light bothers my wife so I started using an app called Nightowl that further dims the screen. Nightowl produces a overlay that dims the entire screen. If i happen to be running nightowl and try to install the app, I can't tap install. Once I turn off the app I'm able to install like normal. Hope that helps lead you in the right direction as restarting the phone every time a problem presents itself is kind of a bummer.
