Hi, there.
I'm on Vodafone in the UK and my new One X displays the message 'Loading' with the moving circle underneath every time I return to the homescreen or come out of a programme (for between 3 and 5 seconds.) I've only had the phone for a day and have arranged to have a replacement delivered on Monday, but I wondered whether anyone else has noticed this? It's obviously a dealbreaker but I can't see any other threads, so am I right to assume I just got a dodgy phone?
(I also have a yellow spot on the bottom left of the screen, so I'm not sorry to be getting a replacement.)
Thanks in advance!
The loading screen happens to almost all the OneX out there but if your planning to unlock bootloader then you can use SuperCharger script or one of the custom ROM which already has it. Otherwise you have to live with it.

Gosh, really? I mean this is just infuriating - every time I exit something, there is a reeeeally long pause before I can do anything else. Does that happen to all the phones? Every review I've read talks about how fast this phone is and I would have thought a three or four second hiatus before a new task can be started would have been mentioned somewhere within the torrent of praise I've read for the One X.
I've just come from a BlackBerry Bold which was much quicker and the iPhone doesn't pause like this - if the new phone has it, I'm going to have to rethink.
Is this something others are also experiencing?

It's been a common problem with Android that's why we have SuperCharger script. You'll be suprised how of them are using that script.
Solved!
I have solved this!
Go to Settings > Developer Options > Scroll down to Don't Keep Activities and UNCHECK it.

Doesnt that disable multi tasking?

I believe so. A quote from Android Developers website.
Immediately destroy activities
Tells the system to destroy an activity as soon as it is stopped (as if Android had to reclaim memory). This is very useful for testing the onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) / onCreate(android.os.Bundle) code path, which would otherwise be difficult to force. Choosing this option will probably reveal a number of problems in your application due to not saving state. For more information about saving an activity's state, see the Activities document.

app problem
For me the activity that restored normal time (instant) when going to the home screen was deleting apps I had installed today. I uninstalled Adidas MI coach app and boom, the loading circle wasn't there any more.

Probably, if you were to check it. The OP has indicated that he got around the problem by unchecking it. In which case there is no effect on multi-tasking. I don't think that is the default setting anyway's, so somehow the setting must have got set on the OP's phone.
Also not sure why it is being said that this loading time is common. It isn't! I have never seen it on my H1X and this would have raised a big concern over usability of the phone....
Is there an app which can restart the phone but without rooting the phone..
Why do you need that ? Just press and hold the power button for a few second, the Phone options will pop-up, just choose restart to restart the device.

This application does not actually reboot it just refreshes the phone..it's not even close to rebooting I am using this app from par three days it's basic function is to free up the space in RAM..try it out u'll know
Why do you even need to reboot your phone that much?

You could Quick Boot if you wish. Can also reboot straight to recovery and bootloader. Unfortunately I can't link to it as I've only recently joined XDA.

Quick Boot works on rooted phone only. He is asking for reboot app with no root access required.

I dun reboot that much..Just once a day..but I dun want my power button to get depressed because I have to rely on unlocking on the same button..which gets pressed quite a lot of times...
Also if you could suggest me some widgets or apps that can help me to lock my phone..I used extended controls which was not a great experience because when I unlocked the screen remained black till I switched on to some other application ..

I don't think it will harm the proximity sensor, it just that I don't like to see a red light on the proximity sensor light up when using this app as I guess it use more battery...and that's maybe the reason why they have a time-out to kill the app after certain time. Once the app is killed, you still need to press power on. Anyhow, this is my personal opinion only, nothing against the app; I maybe wrong.

Thanks tell me since when are you using this phone??do you find your power button by any chance pressed inside even a little??Also I dun think that it uses much battery as the Statistics posted by the App developer state..it would be great if someone would throw some light on it though..

Since Apr 3rd, two days after the HOX officially launched in my country. Do not really notice that, maybe because I seldom use the power button as my device is rooted, using quick boot for reboot, reboot to bootloader & recovery, swipe to power on and so on.
Why are you even rebooting once a day? It isn't necessary and will solve all of your problems.

I hope someone can help me out with this (I guess most of my posts arent worth bothering with as they usually go untouched by anyone). I'm trying to figure out a way to disable the touch button backlight on a Google Edition ROM. I have been searching for an answer since the Google Edition hit. All I can ever find is how to disable on GSIII ROMs (non ge). If anyone can please help me out I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

Screen Filter is an app that can disable the backlight of the softkeys. Set it to auto-start at boot and you should be good. I know its not a direct fix but its a low impact app that shouldnt effect battery life or operation.

Seems to work for me. Did it dim the screen at all (thats its main function)? Did you see the check box "enable softkey back light" (uncheck it) at the bottom of the app ui?

Yes, it did dim the screen, but if i uncheck the enable softkey back light, anytime I touch the screen the backlights still come on. Are you on a G.E. rom? I am currently on Infamouse G.E.

No im not. I am on AOSP (Slim Bean) though.
There are options to do this in AOKP and CM roms. Anybody know how those builds pull it off?
Give me a minute to shower and I'll write you an app. All you have to do is install my app, reboot, grant it root access, and profit.

Okay i am having troubles setting it to off on boot. But here is a "toggle" version of it where you can toggle them on or off. Will try and fix the boot issue tomorrow.
SWEEET!!! Works like a charm thanks dude! Like I said, I've been searching for this forever! I know that many others have been searching for this, perhaps you should make a thread in the mods section.

Nice app
Great app man, it works fine. But i think it should let the user select which app to make use of the function.
Thank you for the feedback
and i'm very happy to hear back..i'm working on it..will bee out soon...!
Will be updating to a new version before October 2nd
this will have features of a pro version but it just gives the feel not the functionality
Please let me know your comments
@MultiPDev V2 will give you the option to select your own app

Good job!! I love the app, the concept is great. I think the idea is better than Samsung's Smart Stay(or something like that) that never worked well enough for me. I'd surely use this app daily when it's finished. I didn't vote on the playstore because it needs some more development.
Here's a major bug I encountered: It sometimes doesn't work until you switch the feature off and on again, and switch between apps.
Also the sensibility is kinda low, i think ot should be higher(or maybe let the user select some kind of levels?).
Anyways, I call this app a good example of great use of a smartphone's sensor.
I have a question, does this app only work on Samsung devices? if not, I think you should make a thread in a general forum so any people can give you feedback, not only s3 owners.
I'm a student developer, so I hope I will submit an app to the store soon.
Cheers!!:good:
Thank you for the valuable feedback....
Its a strange issue..! Will definitely look in to the issue
When you said its not working are telling based on the Message you see on the screen when you open the app..if so that message will be displayed only for the first launch of the app.
right now sensitivity is at the best lowest as possible
you need not move the device slight angle change will also be considered
Good Luck with you app
and this will support all phones running android 4.0 and above

I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you what I meant by "it doesn't work".
Well...sometimes the screen just forgets to turn off, even if phone is on the table.
About the sensibility, I think the app should detect a trembling hand, so it knows you're holding the phone. It's just a suggestion, I don't know how practical this would be.

cool...from the last movement detected phone will wait for (defaultscreentimeout - say 3 seconds) to actually turn off the screen..
is the screen staying on for more than defaultscreentimeout value...!

Yes it is, the screen timeout was actually 15 secons...just for testing. But the screen just refused to turn off while on the selected app. So I had tu turn the app off and on again few times till it worked. I think it's only the first time, after you install the app, I'm not sure. But it happened more tan once. Needs more testing.

It happened to me again. The default timeout was 15 seconds. I just started Word app and kept the phone still. But the screen just refused to turn off(I waited 2 minutes). I solved this by turning the app off and on and switching between timeout times. However, it may be a rom bug (I'm running a cm12 based rom), as I found out it happens even after I turn off the app.
Good luck!!
Hello
Thank you for the info i tried to reproduce but couldnt
please find the screen shot please check if the app is correct "Word app"
since you have the issue even when you turn off the service i think its not related to SmartScreen

No buddy, I meant the "Word" application. You know...the one from Microsoft. Lol!! Anyway, the bug happened also with firefox...
Yeah maybe it's my rom's fault. I'll give it a try again when I switch to another one.
Good luck with the app!!
Ooops sure let me know if you come up with any issues..working on optimizing it so may be an update with minor improvements will be out later some time...

Technically it is,
I wont be spoon feeding everything to you on exactly what to do use google
But look in developer options, display settings else
use adb to pull your build.prop look for the tablet description/ feature set, edit on pc and set it to the one used for phones
then sideload it back to phone
reboot and enjoy
(no one knows hoe the fold will handle it YOU MIGHT BRICK YOUR DEVICE OR GET BOOTLOOP)

Yeah, that's already unchecked.
Have you tried going to the display settings, then screen layout, then selecting standard view. Split view makes your phone act as a tablet.
