Illumination Bar

Not sure if you guys have seen it but the Illumination Bar app by rundgong can be used to keep the softkey touchpad lights always on if the screen is on. So basically the lines under the touchpad symbols will always be lit if your screen is on which makes it much easier to hit the right symbol in the dark.
Can also use it to have those lights act as another notification light for various apps like sms, email, missed calls and more. Check it out.

I've noticed that my led on top doesn't light up while I have the bottom keys enabled as well. Is anyone else experiencing this?

after flashing to ics I'm having issues with it...so I uninstalled it.
the app asks you to enable it in accessibility, after doing so...on browser (dolphin) "talk back" likes to read everything aloud and I don't have it enabled. As soon as I disable Illumination Bar Notification in accessibility the problem goes away. it seems enabling in accessibility doesn't make a difference.
Next issue, recently the led lights don't want to turn off... its seriously drained my battery and on charger it heats up to 106F
Anybody else having issues?

You don't have to turn on notifications. I only use it too keep buttons lit while screen is on.

If you 're talking about the led its supposed to flash for notifications. If you're talking about navigation buttons they're probably flashing because you have notifications turned on. Turn that feature off. I just use the app for keeping them on when screen is on.

So.... Why does this need permission to read my sms/mms content? or my contact data?

Guregnack said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Because this app is also used for notifications for SMS/MMS. So in order for it to know when to flash for said incoming SMS/MMS, it has to be able to read them. (Not read their contents...Just read that one has been received.)

Uhhhh.... from my understanding, the receive function is for knowing if there is a mms or sms.
Reading allows the content to be "read".
Right?

The apk needs your permission so that it can gather all of the data inside your phone and send it to Google.
Google owns you, but they need permission first.

Off topic, but Battle.net will give you back your stuff. And if you don't have one, spend the few dollars for the authenticator... Or if you don't wanna spend the money, get the one for your phone from the PlayStore.
(If you replace your Rom, REMOVE the authenticator from your Battle.net account. After you are done all your flashing and mods, then put it back. I learned that the hard way)

[Q] Can we get this stopped??

Howdy all,
My phone has just started a vibration when a call is ended, and I can find nothing that has made any change that is causing this to happen. I cannot find where or what setting is making the dang thing vibrate when a call is ended! It's getting on my nerves,,,,
I'm using the stock jeley bean with the native dialer and have tried all I can think of!
If someone knows if this is supposed to happen, or how I can stop it, please tell me!
It never did this for as long as I can remember, but I don't know what the heck has happened, and I cannot make that vibration stop.
Many thanks!
Solved via factory restore. over kill for a small problem, but had no alternative. Saddddd!

I did all those obvious things, and it wouldn't work!
I did the Factory restore, and for a day, all was good. After all that work, it's back vibrating again! I did NOTHING and installed NOTHING after the factory restore, and it was fine...... for 1 day, and now it's vibrating every time I hang up on a call. WTF???

Hmmmm interesting. Your phone is possessed xP... OK back to being serious lol. is your phone rooted and if so what custom ROM are you running?

Hello,
No talkback was always off. However finally after digging too deep, I realised that the App Robibn (Its an app like S-Voice or SIRI) was doing all the talking.. It was not a built in function!!!
But I changed the settings of that app and my phone is back to normal!! Yippie :laugh:
Thanks all

Nice, glad to know it's fixed
Quite annoying when the phone talks randomly :cyclops:

Google Now not speaking back

Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere in this sub-forum. I did a search and nothing turned out. So, I just got the OGP and have been extremely happy with it. Tried Google Now voice search, and while it has no problem recognizing my speech and giving me answers, it will not speak back to me. I have language set to English and Speech Output set to Always Speak. Apps volume is set all the way up too. Will anyone here have any suggestions to solve this issue? Thank you in advance.

Anyone?

I guess it depends on what u asked I tried a few things. Only got the webpages without a response. I said "talk to me" and Google voice talked to me. Try it and see if that works for u.

Thanks. At what point did you say "talk to me"? My wife's Galaxy S2 talks back with any simple question (like "what is the capital of Illinois?") The OGP just shows the answer and the map. I set Google Now to always speak back (and the app volume is up), so I am trying to figure out why it's not working. It's a bummer.

I don't know excatly. My guess is that it might has to do with lg software not fully working with all the Google now features? And I said it like after 3 tries.

You have to make sure your phone's sound is on. It will not work in Vibrate Mode, even if you have app sounds on and Speech Output set to Always Speak. Just tested and it worked with ringer turned on, but not when set to Vibrate.

Phone sound is on. Google Now speech output is set to Always Speak. Media volume is all the way up. Still, zippo, nada.
Worst part. My wife keeps on egging me that her two-year old S2 does it, and my "big and fancy-schmancy" G Pro does not.

You need to turn the System Volume up, not media volume.

Problem solved by clearing data and cache from the Google Search app. Thanks for all the responses!
