Is there a permanent or automated fix for the 50%+ TWS bug?

Sorry if this has already been posted, but I can't find a straight answer with a search, only mentions of there being a fix.
Thanks in advance.

I'm on Bonsai 3.01 and it seems to be random whether it clears or not. I did notice if I hear the 3G beep after I boot then TWS stays near 0% and if I don't hear it after boot I get 50% so when I don't hear it I do the airplane mode toggle.

You have to cycle airplane mode after each boot. I use tasker to do it automaticaly but its a paid app, well worth it for all you can do with it tho.

Is there another app that can auto toggle airplane mode? I don't want to buy a $6.45 app when I only want that one specific function.

Not sure but tasker can do a lot more. For example when I get in my car it shuts down my Wifi turns on my gps and prompts me to select which music app I want to listen to.

I'm reading the description and don't see whether it's automated or not. Can you set it to flip at boot? There are tons of manual toggle widgets and that's not what I want.

If your running a custom rom couldn't you create a shell script to run from init.d ?

Fix for washed out colors on Nexus 7-toggle for nvidia tegra 3 prism

Just came a crossed an app that disables the tegra 3 screen dimming function which causes the washed out colors. The app is nvidia tegra prism toggle...used it and noticed a big difference but MUST BE ROOTED TO USE THIS APP
MOD Edit: Links Removed.

It can and does open but ask for rooting rights as soon as it starts

Worked great here. Thanks for the find!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

it's been sad many times,i think there's also a 3ad somewhere of prism toggle by nvidia.Anyways,if you don't want to buy the app,you can use the tricksterMOD app and by disabling smart-dimmer in the proper tab,you do the same thing (echo "0" > /sys/devices/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/enable)
EDIT ehi,but it's warez!!!!!!!!!!!PULL IT OFF!

thanx guys, trying this out,,steve

Play Store

im using trickster mod(as said above) for few weeks now. its free and easy to apply. works 100%.

I noticed that if I'm playing a youtube video, and I press the recents button, the icons look wash out/almost white. not anymore with this app.

there is no problem with the display. its a power-saving feature which doesnt save any power from what i was able to find out.
problem is that it washes out your colors. its extremly visible when you watch video for 10-20min and then press HOME. it stays like this for good 30+sec. after that it goes back to normal. watching a lot of movies, its visible whether I have this turned ON/OFF.

Annoying Screen Timeout!

So I'm watching a video (expanded to full screen) on the stock browser at night in a dark room when the screen times out.
I can't find any way of switching the screen timeout off, and have to resort to setting the time to maximum and having to reopen the screen and restart the video every 10 minutes.
There has to be a solution to this annoying problem? Please?

Is smart stay enabled or is it just not working on the dark room ? If smart stay is not working then you can just pull out the s pen from it's holder or hover with the s pen instead of closing the video.

Im not troll..but i heard many issue of burn screen come from Amoled display..do some search, u will find the tread which discuss about burn screen..
Here one of them from note 2 thread..

U can found more from note 1 thread..
Not saying watch video can confirm the screen burn issue..just saying maybe it can cause life span of screen burn become short..but definately amoled screen can not avoid it..

Fair enough, but there is "no issue."
Why have this phone if you don't use it? Besides, full screen is probably one way to AVOID burn in.
What are you even talking about?

Yes, this avoids the screen burn. Screen burn only happens because some of the led's are used more than others which is why some degrade faster which results in varying color contrasts. Using full screen almost all the time however, uses all of the led's, thus all of them will degrade at a slightly similar rate and the change of color contrast would not be as noticeable to the common eye.

If you mean stock internet browser it will time out don't know why I streamed hell in a cell last week had the same issue doesn't happen on any other phone I know of just this one...I had to stretch the screen so it looked full screen and it stayed on strange I know

I'm having the same problem not sure why there would be this problem considering no phone for the last 4 years have had this problem. Terrible overt sight by Google/Samsung. Really interested if some one finds the solution to this.

Use Profile Scheduler from the play store it lets you set up a profile with a setting for screen time out never option. Thats the only reason I use it. I listen to alot of music in my truck and it keeps the musoc player from going to sleep.

Screen time out issue is only when watching flash enabled videos in browser.
Reason : Flash is not supported in Jellybean officially,
So just using flashplayer.apk will not rewrite screen timeout settings in system files.
And, smart stay doesn't work in dark room with lights off.

Full Screen Flash Video In Browser

SOoo I often use first row sports to stream different sporting events. When I click to fullscreen in the browser window I can still hear sound but the whole screen goes black.....I have flash installed and am using Firefox.
Does anyone else have this prob with full screen videos?

Do you have auto rotation enabled? I modded my Firefox to automatically enable it and then after I hit the full screen button and rotate me phone the picture comes back.

Thanks for the reply. I do have Auto-rotation enabled, I just cant figure it out at all, the streams will play fine if I rotate my phone and zoom it to screen size, but not if I try to play it as a full screen video.

[Q] What have you noticed that has changed in T-Mobiles KitKat?

Things that I'm curious about right off are:
1. What color is the dialer? Is it still white or have they changed that to dark?
2. In the "Internet" app (not chrome) can you "Open page in background"?
and bonus
Have you experienced any problems with files (moving, naming, editing, accessing, coping info back and forth from interral to external, ect...) on the MicroSD card through a downloaded file explorer app (ie ES File Explorer)?

Hangouts now uses the emoji from the Samsung keyboard instead of Google emoji. Kind of annoying.

Same thing, internet seems to be the same, no difference.
Most of the notifications are white, kinda liked the green battery.
Camera shortcut in lock screen
The font in notifications is different
Can't find much else
I was hoping to see a fix for the messaging app. When backing out of a text message it can take up to 5 seconds to go back into your message list. It's really annoying.
Checked- still does the same thing. I can't believe a 3rd party app can do this better. Unbelievable.

I noticed the reception is better now:laugh: No seriously what with the full bars!! I always have full bars even when I know im in an area where is barely reception. and Yes the dbm meter is displays the correct reading but the bars are way off. I tried with the international Kitkat rom and I got the same result. Looks like its a kitkat thing across the board. Kinda reminds me of AT&T and Apple saga over the inaccurate iphone reception meter.
