Landscape home screen?

Just wondering if there is a way to set the home screen to landscape mode without having the gameplay out?

It's just a matter of programing it to listen to the accelerometer and trigger landscape when its over 50 degrees...now if only someone could do that

as stated before use a different launcher
pro launcher does it, etc.

In the US, if you insert power (micro usb) then headphones, it'll go into landscape... and stay in it some times until you cycle putting the headphones in and out a couple of times...
Actually rather annoying at times...
Another launcher is truly the easiest way.

How are these comments at all usefull? If everyones attitude was "use another launcher" or "use another app" nothing would get developed here, It would be full of lazy people using "other" launchers

This is possible, A team of devs managed to program the same functionality into the desire s's htc sence ports. At first only devices with H/W keybords could get it into landscape mode, but the devs programed it to listen to the accelerometer instead

Thanks for that Andro kinda got over it anyway, just would've been cool to do what my transformer does ie. landscape to portrait depending on accelerometer, and when I saw that the play changes to landscape with the gamepad out it didn't make sense that it wouldn't do it normally :-/

How do I use voice controls on Jellybean TW

Not google voice the actual voice commands like answering or rejecting a phonecall. It was in language and input on ics but I dont see it on Jellybean

Double tap the home button to open s-voice, then go to settings of s-voice. Then go to control apps. I believe that is what your looking for.

Edit: control apps, not voice controls in s-voice settings...

You have to have vibrate turned off too, which makes it a no go for me.

Thanks I found it.

Very annoying that text pops up telling you that you can use voice commands within camera, alarm, when a call comes through etc.

I brought this up a while back when the s3 came out.. There has to be a way to modify it to work also when on vibrate.
I keep my phone on vibrate around 80% of the time so I can never use them either.
But I have found out that the voice commands still work on camera even with vibrate on, which leads me to believe it can be enabled on the other commands some how ... I don't know how to program and all that but I would be willing to help in anyway to get it working on vibrate mode

the new update of google search allows voice commands to open apps

My voice commands work with vib. On music plays and stops just fine

looking for an app

im looking for an app that can concentrate a number of actions to one button that i will be able to put on my Homescreen as a widget, thus saving time by not forcing me to do each and every one of the actions.
for example - i would like to open "waze", turn on bluetooth, turn on the gps and turn off the wifi with just one click
is that possible?
dose anybody know an app who dose that?
(im using an unrooted Nexus 4 and i am aware of the NFC technology - just looking for a different solution.)
thanks a lot!!
Edi.

I thinks Tasker can do this

If you get Tasker right now I believe its on sale. It can definitely do this. You would create a profile for the application Waze, and add tasks for each thing you want to happen when you open Waze.

[Q] I have a few questions about my new Optimus G Pro

I recently upgraded to the LG Optimus G Pro and I love it and all, but while I'm at work when I get messages, my phone does all sorts of crazy things in my pocket because the screen comes on. I was wondering if there was a setting that I was looking over that would stop it from doing that? I'm trying not to root it because I know the bare minimum about rooting phones, but I did root my Galaxy s2 Skyrocket with youtube tutorials.

What things is it doing? I have the flip case and that keeps it from coming on and such. I think there is a pocket mode in the setting(I could be wrong about this though) check in display section or even under notifications.

Or go into the offending app that's causing you trouble and turn notifications off.

I think there are a few others who have complained about this as well. I don't have a texting plan (I use Google Voice), so I haven't ever experienced this. However, if there aren't any options in the phone settings, there may be another way.
I seem to be on this Tasker kick lately, so when someone has a problem that is related to the phone sensors or events, I tend to think "how can I fix this with Tasker?!" . As a result, I have made an app really quick using Tasker and have even included the project XML if you want to fiddle with it on your own. It does NOT require root. However, it will need you to install another free app called "Secure Settings" and give it administrator rights in your phone settings. All that the app does is wait for an incoming message and checks to see if the proximity sensor detects something in front of it. If it does, it turns the screen off. However, like I said, I don't have a texting plan, so I haven't had a chance to really test it. The app interface is just an "ON/OFF" button and a "Close" button. If it doesn't work, just turn it off or uninstall it. It is set to "OFF" when it is first installed.
Alternatively, you can play around with it if you get Tasker. I think there is still a trial period you can get if you aren't sure if you want to buy it. Let me know if it works or if you have any other questions.
I named the xml file as a .zip just to upload to xda. Just rename the file without the ".zip" at the end and then you can edit and/or import to Tasker.

This is easily fixed, just change the lockscreen to anything other than swipe and the phone will no longer accidentally become unlocked in your pocket

Had the same issue. Do a search for it. Lots of threads. Maybe try Magiclocker or Widgetlocker instead of the LG home screen.

Use pin lock. Solved for me.

Okay I just realised that there is an emergency call button on the screen when you have either pin, password or pattern unlock set. If you just have swipe, there is no emergency call button. Maybe this will help?

[Q] Always on voice feature like Moto X?

I have to be honest, I am fairly jealous of the Moto X's always on voice feature. Any news about a port to the One...or any recommendations on third party software that can do this? Thanks.

This is my fear.

On this topic, under Google Now there is a setting called Hotword Detection. From the description is sounds like what the MotoX does, listening all the time for a voice command. What does this setting actually do?

Exactly. The MotoX has a special low power chip dedicated to this sleep-mode 'listening.' I doubt we will get a similar solution that doesn't kill the battery.

Considering its a separate chip its a hardware issues... Plus the main reason that the notification system works the way it does is because amoled screens can light up only a small portion of the screen thus not killing the battery life. I agree the feature rocks. I thought about a moto x. Specs are meaningless if the software works well. Everybody I've talked to about one loves it. Great phone not to be overlooked. I'd rather own one of those than an s4 any day.

When you open Google Now, you can simply say "Google" to initiate voice search. Saves you an additional button press.

kill your battery by never letting your phone sleep. Also it opens google now by saying google. Or you can long press the home button/ slide up from the home button (depending on your settings) to open it.
I agree the moto x has some cool features, but I'm disappointed moto went to plastic and away from the kevlar.

Si that is the same feature as the Moto X, just without the chip? I am confused, because with it on my phone does nothing when I say Google, no matter where I am.

Its only setup to work when 'Google Now' is open and running. This can be achieved in some odd fashion by allowing the phone to turn the screen off, but not "sleep." This will bring all types of destruction and ruination to your battery life and really isn't worth it. Its a nice feature, but something, for most people, would be more a gimmick. I did almost grab an X instead of the One, but no Moto Maker, and the old hardware put me off.
