It will do that when you enter a tunnel or something (and thus the overall ambient light is decreased), Or put your finger on the brightness sensor while the navigation is on (try it) You either have a ROM that has an issue with brightness sensors, Or the brightness sensor on your phone is messed up/Covered up by something.
Tbh i really like the look of the inverted maps xD

I think he means the direction is wrong...
like it faces on the screen the opposite way than you're actually going

You have to allow the compass to recalibrate itself. Go outside, turn on maps with GPS, and wave it around in figure 8s for a while.

A friend have the direction problem with his S-II, Someone have an idea forma a solution? I'm not sure will be related to the compass because it happen only when si in navigation mode, not when he use maps...
Edit: solution found for him, simply removed the battery...

[Q] Screen rotates very very slow.

Hello everybody!
I bought yesterday a Galaxy Nexus. I’ve rooted, installed clockworkmod and the ROM Android Revolution HD™ 1.3.1 | High Quality & Performance | GSM.
The big problem which I found till now is:
The screen rotates very very slow. (web browser, photos gallery, pdf documents…) with everything.
Sometimes even don’t rotate. I have deactivate all screen animations and the same duration. (2 seconds or more)
My nexus s was much faster with a beta rom with android 4.
Do I have an issue? Do you have the same problem?
Thanks in advance!
With stock rom is all so fast and smooth.
No problem at all.

Its googles choice for that not an issue. If you want faster rotation you should flash pauls custom rom

Not sure how people are saying it's fast on stock. To me it's anything but fast... it's slow as hell.

Agreed. Sometimes I have to shake it after I turn it for it to even do anything. The accelerometer needs tweeking in the stock rom.
its very laggy .. and if that was " google choice " then i think it was a bad choice!
Can you guys quit repeating that google intentionally put a delay in it.
I noticed this as well - i'm quite aware of the difference between the screen not rotating and there being a delay.
There's something really quirky that's causing the phone to not recognize sometimes, I thought the new update fixed it but alas it didn't.

No, because it is a fact. There is a purposeful rotational delay.

So your screen doesn't accidentally rotate from holding it at a slight angle.

When it works right, after about a 2 second delay - it rotates.
But sometimes, it just doesn't work, I'll hold it for 10 seconds and it won't rotate like the phone didn't register it, so I have to turn the phone back and forth and the accelerometer seems to wake up again and works.
Does no one else get this behavior?
Im running the stock rom, no animations either and my screen rotation isnt all that speedy but i prefer it to my galaxy s which rotated at the slightest tilt of the phone. At least the proximity sensor on this phone doesnt lag like the GS did. I hated having to wait for the screen to respond before i could hang up the phone LOL.

See this is different.. I have not experienced this and had no idea you were talking about this. The delay on rotating the two seconds that you observe is intentional.. can't say not rotating at all is something I have experienced though sorry :/
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Screen rotation is VERY poor on mine. Im not talking about a "lag". Sometimes there is no rotation.
Same here, if the screen is touched it rotates and behaves normal.
Please click the star here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22561
Not noticed any issues with mine, on stock or with android revo HD 1.3.1.
Then again, it really pissed me off when my old phone always rotated with the slightest turn. Hated it. Had screen rotation turned off most the time due to it.
Only time I do like to see a landscape view is in videos, where the 'delay' is not really an issue.
So I guess I'm one of the few people who can thank google for implementing such a useful feature.
But seriously, who uses landscape often? Why?
That said, I wish the lag upon pressing the recent apps button was removed.

LG Touch LED Notifications (Updated to Support Nitro!!)

Hello all,
I am creating this thread since we all at one point had a discussion regarding having some kind of notification alert on our phones the moment we achieve Unlock.
Well guess what, Xigzil aka MARTIN BÖRJESSON has an app on the market called LG 2X/Black/3D Notifications. I've installed this on the phone, and unfortunately, it does fully support the phone yet to work properly. I've reached to Xigzil and he will try to help and update his app so it will work with our phone but he will be needing our help. Since he does not have the phone, he will need things from us, so let's do our best to help Xigzil in achieving this.
For now, this will just be placeholder until he has decided to visit us here. Hopefully it won't be long
App has been UPDATED!! Nitro is now supported, download it here: LG Touch LED Notifications
What unlock?
/me confused.

UPDATE!!
So Xigzil has just updated his app!! It is now called LG Touch LED Notifications since it supports much much more LG phones, including our dear LG Nitro HD (P930)! I have not tried it just yet, just noticed that the update kicked in and that one of the supported phones is the Nitro. So go download it and give it a try and let us know how it is!
You can download it here: LG Touch LED Notifications
To Admin/Chris: Please move this thread to either General or Themes/Apps as it no longer pertains to a development effort. Thank you.
Hmm. Not sure whether I like it or not. I though maybe it'll be a fade in and out kind of effect but it just blinks. And all three buttons blink. Going to keel it for a while and see if its really useful.

I thought the same thing too. I guess it's kind of useful if I just have my phone on the table and I'm staring at something else, until it starts blinking and gains my attention. I do think however fade options would be fantastic, and if only one button would light up.
Maybe something like Gmail - Menu button
SMS - Home button
Other - Back button

Is the ability to control each of those buttons individually built into the software, though? I mean, I thought it was all or nothing when it came to the button LED's.

Yeah all or nothing for the buttons. Atleast we have some kind of notification now for the Nitro/Optimus LTE !
I like putting my phone face down so the speaker is up. Would it be possible for a notification app to blink the camera's LED flash?

Lol! [email protected], that's exactly the same thing that's on this thread, the same app made by the same guy
Liteon, to answer your question, I use this: Flashlight Notifier
It basically flashes the camera's LED when something triggers it. You can set it however you want, and the pattern on how the LED flashes too. It's very cool, but mind you, they flash really really bright, so in a dark area, expect people to jump out of their skin when this thing goes off lol!
I use both LG touch Notification and the Flashlight Notifier on this phone, so I can see the notification regardless of how you face your phone.

[Q] Lightflow & talkback

I heard the gs3 had a bug when lightflow was enabled that it was also causing talkback to answer "FOLDER OPEN!!!!" and then "FOLDER CLOSED!!!".
This is extremely annoying but I love lightflow to much to uninstall it. Is anyone else having this problem and is there a solution? I read this was an ics bug but I never had any problem with my nexus.
I seemed to run into lightflow and talkback not being able to be on at the same time...even though talkback is off. It says it needs to disable airview for lightflow to work. No go for me. Deleted it.

You'll find details about the issue here as after 6 months of trying different avenues, it seems Samsung may be listening. I got in touch with a few developers who also face the same issue and we all posted to the samsung developers forums. See here: http://developer.samsung.com/forum/...=GeneralB&messageId=204387&messageNumber=2156
As for airview you can just switch it back on after switching on accessibility. It's just another Samsung bug in this area.
Bug still here with last rom DMB6.

Disable Touch Key Backlight on Google Edition

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?

Compass mode gone off Google wear maps after update

Hi everyone,
I just updated my Sony smart Watch 3 and the compass option has disappeared off the map app. I only have centre, searching around you and +-. Prior to the update I had the option to let the display to rotate as you moved which was really good. Has anyone else got the problem. All my apps on my s5 and the watch are up to date.
cheers

I just thought it was me, I have posted a thread on the Android wear help forum too.
What version of Maps on your phone? Maybe 9.13.0 killed it? I still have it with 9.12.1
Edit: well crap. I may still have the compass rotation, but just realized I have the compass bug that makes it unreliable.
Here's pumpytums' thread on the google forums. Google is looking for feedback from users on this.

Thanks for that you are exactly right I downgraded to 9.12.1 and compass function came back.
So the temporary fix is to keep maps at 9.12.1
