Guys - this is driving me nuts - I could swear this worked before and does not anymore:
Stock ROM TMO TP2:
1 Exchange account linked
2 IMAP accounts linked
-the above as background for what it is worh and useful)
When in the TF e-mail screen where one is looking at the envelope, I think before I was able to "touch the envelope" continously (2-3 seconds) and the menu would pop up and I would be able to delete this message WITHOUT opening the actual e-mail (I basically would never leave the envelope screen)
This is not working anymore - maybe it never has, but I could swear it did in the beginning.
Could you guys please check on your phones - do I remember correctly??? Please tell meI am still sane and that there is a way to bring this functionality back...
Thanks all
Andy
If this will help you to stay sane...
My unbranded tp2 behaves same way as yours - there is no possibility to delete a mail without opening of it ;-)
Same here, had the same problem as you where I wanted to delete email without opening it or leaving the "envelope screen".. but just couldn't do it
Thanks guys - maybe we'll see a tweak for that down the road - this is a bit annoying (and slow) - the time to open a message (from envelope, TF, to Windows mobile view) is considerable.
I still somehow think this was working at some point but maybe my 3 marriages cause me to halucinate...
Cheers
Hi, I would need help with two tasker profiles (and a little hint for the 3rd one ;P)
1st - Connect and route all traffic through a SSH-Tunnel when I am connected to a WiFi which is not my home-WiFi:
I tried this with SSH-Tunnel but "killing" the app gives random pop-ups + problem report + restart of the app (even when killing with root). Any ideas?
2nd - Screenshot when wrong lock pattern was entered:
I found several guides for how to do it with a "pin lock" but it seems as "lock pattern" won't work with tasker?
3rd - Can I somehow let tasker read/speak the following things:
At which time is the next alarm and in how many hours/minutes is that (alarmdroid)?
Do I have any missed calls/mails/messages (whatsapp/sms/facebook/...) ?
Do I have any calendar entries today and which one is the first one ?
I plan on using those the following way:
Put phone into docking station near my bed - Let me know if alarm is set and when it is.. also tell me if there are any meetings on the next day.
When alarmdroid starts waking me up, tell me if I have any missed calls/messages/etc and how many calendar entries I have today.
Thanks
Idk about any of the other stuff but about question 2...There is an app called secure settings..this app pretty much adds functionality to tasker and if you are rooted it adds even more. But basically you can use pattern lock through tasker after downloading that app..I am currently using it to have my lock pattern turn off when im connected to my home wifi and then turns back on when im not connected to home wifi...
I had similar issues as you where it would only work with pin lock but now with secure settings, its work with pattern lock. Hope this helps.

In regards to question number 2, I'd skip setting this up via tasker and just get the app Cerberus, its a pay app but its amazing when it comes to the things it can regarding security of your phone, in case its lost/stolen. It does have the feature your trying to set up, works with pin and pattern locks. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5sc2Ryb2lkLmNlcmJlcnVzIl0.
no I don't like cerberus sry. Also I got Avast for that

I'd vouch for Cerberus. Has really good security features. btw how would taking a screenshot on entering wrong pattern help. Did you mean to take the photo of the intruder entering the wrong pattern?

Yes, a pic is taken of the intruder and sent to me via e-mail.
The whole thing works.. except that it doesn't work when the phone is locked :S
Not sure why you dont like cerberus, it does exactly what you want lol..was just a suggestion.
and i appreciate the help I just dont like the app.
Tasker >add Task(+) > Plugin > Secure Setttings > Configuration > Pattern Lock
Set the context as you like..
Ye tried that one already -> doesnt seem to work :/
Regarding your #2 request, if what you are looking for is for the phone to take a picture of the user after a failed unlock attempt this is what I did in Tasker to accomplish this and more.
This will take a photo of the "intruder" after two failed attempts. With my Dropbox sync this photo is instantly uploaded to Dropbox for archival. Then the phone sends two SMS messages to my GV number, the first with the rough location based on the network and then another if GPS is able to locate them.
First you have to install the "Secure Settings" plugin from the Market. Also for photo archival I use Dropbox configured to backup my photos.
New Profile named "Unlock Fail"
Event>State>Plugin>Secure Settings
-Edit Configuration>Failed Login Attempts> 2 (your choice)
-Save
Task> New Task named "Security Photo"
-Media>Take Photo
>Front Camera
>Filename : Lock Photo
>Naming Sequence : Series
>Insert in Gallery : checked
>Descrete : checked
>Resolution: 640x480 (Your preference)
-Misc.>GPS Set On
-Misc.>Get Location
>Source NET
-Phone>Send SMS
>Number (Your choice, I use my GV number)
>Message "Someone has tried to unlock your phone, a photo has been stored and they are roughly at: %LOC"
-Misc.>Get Location
>Source GPS
-Phone>Send SMS
>Number (Same as above)
>Message "Here is their exact location: %LOC"
Then on top of this I also created another profile that would fire off this same task if an SMS is received with the text "find me". This profile also sounds an alarm so I can locate the phone.

I would prefer Mail over SMS but the problem won't even go until the sending part as it won't even take the picture when the phone is locked with a pattern lock? Atleast for me here.

I do not seem to have that problem. I just tried it and it worked perfectly.
Now I have my phone configured for face unlock with pattern as a backup and my phone is rooted.
-Phone was locked with the screen off.
-Hit the power button and blocked the camera so face unlock would fail.
-Entered the wrong pattern twice. Once the second attempt failed I saw GPS activate and I heard the GV notification for the received SMS.
-I never unlocked the phone and checking GV and Dropbox from a different device and the messages were sent with my location and the picture was uploaded to Dropbox.
Not sure what else to say. I think I was asked to give Tasker administrative rights along with being rooted so maybe that is the difference.
i am rooted as well.. and tasker is in my SuperSU list :S
Rly weird
I will pay you for Tasker Profiles
I bought tasker because I see the incredible potential for the different profiles.
That being said I am dumb and find creating the profiles that I want a little bit overwhelming.
Is you are a tasker EXPERT on this site that would like to make some profiles for me that I could download & I will pay you for them.
An example profile would be:
IF I disconnect from Wifi Network by going out of range I want to automatically turn on bluetooth for for 10 minutes.
(Usually when I walk out of wifi range I am walking to my car which bluetooths music/calls off my phone)
IF within that 10 minutes I connect to a bluetooth device I would like to keep the bluetooth on until the pairing is broken. IF NOT bluetooth will be turned off after the 10 minutes
When the bluetooth pairing is broken I would like the phone to turn on Wifi for 10 minutes as I am usually walking to my office/house or place with wifi
IF within that 10 minutes a wifi network is connected then wifi will remain on IF NOT then wifi will be turned off
This is just one of probably 10 or so possible profiles I would like to create that are custom to my circumstances
I have a galaxy S4 Active from AT&T that is rooted
If you are interested in creating profiles for me please message me with your expertise & what a profile would cost
For most of you creating these things are childs play however for me it is not
This is my first time posting so if this is the wrong place to put this please direct me to a different area.
I use keepassX to manage my passwords, but clip tray prevents the passwords from being cleared completely. I can manually clear them, but it's a huge pain. Is there anyway to disable clip tray? Solutions that require root are fine.

Agreed - I tried to get an answer from LG electronics support and they couldn't help either. This is a huge security issue since the passwords can persist, even a reboot.
I found some old posts for the LG G2 that there apparently was some option available under Settings -> Security that allowed you to set a timer for the phone to clear out the "clip tray". Although, I can't find anything that suggests a way to do this in the LG G3 documentation on their website, and no one I talked to at their support had any idea what I was talking about.
They're convinced it's a feature that all the passwords I've saved from my LastPass account are visible and in the clear.
I also agree. It's annoying to have to open another app just to get a text box and clear it. Anyone found a solution for this? Thanks for the help.
LG Clip Tray - annoying message "Copied to clip tray"
I am using an LG G Pad 8.3 where this "Clip Tray" also exists.
The "Copied to clip tray" message when taking screenshots is a real annoyance when taking multiple screenshots because the message appears after a few seconds and takes time to fade out.
If not waiting long enough after each screenshot, the message (white letters in a black box) will be visible in each image.
Does anyone know how to disable/suppress that message?

My new phone is an LG, having found out about cliptray has also worried me. If you have ROOT, search for "cliptray.db" and "cliptray.db-journal". Mine was in directory, "/data/data/com.lge.systemservice/databases/".
Delete both these files and then make two directories with the same names. A file and a directory can't have the same name, and the cliptray doesn't know how to remove directories.
Sooo I got the phone last Thursday and am using it on Verizon. I've had a few issues that I figured I'd throw a thread together incase anyone else has the same...
Known Issues that I have:
"GroupMe" application will not update unless I am in the application and clicking on a specific chat. - Worked on every other phone I have and cant even find anything on this subject on google. If someone sends a message in a chat it will not update or notify me. I have to click on the specific chat for it to update. I've reinstalled the app 3 times and cleared the cache. un-optimized it with battery settings, nothing is working.
Fixed Issues that I have:
Phantom vibration. - Almost like a notification is happening but nothing is showing on the screen. Cant figure out this one for the life of me. I even have a notification log downloaded and it just vibrates away with nothing being logged.
Found out it was Verizon Caller ID app. Apparently it keeps crashing and "starting" over and over again. I disabled notifications on it and the vibration went away!
MMS Cannot be received only sent. - I've gone through this extensively with Verizon support. Tried everything on another thread, switched out sim blah blah blah, finally they have opened a ticket with the engineers and will get back to me in 48 hours.
Works now in default app just not android messages......................................
Anyone else having any other issues?
That's disappointing that there are mms issues. MMS on the U11 using anything but the stock messaging app was a complete ****show. I hope you can get more bands than just 13 as well.

MMS works fine on my European un-locked (and rooted) U12+. Got one as late as yesterday... Using stock SMS app.

Someone on Android Central had Verizon block messaging and then re-add it for everything to work. Maybe worth a shot?
Same here... Unlocked US model. Send but not receive texts...
I've done the same, reset, new SIM, swapped Sims etc.
I'll take a look on AC and see if they have something there for a solution... Thanks for the heads-up. Glad I'm not alone.

I have found that Android messages app doesn't work as you can't select the preferred sim for messages. Having to use stock at the moment.
Somewhere in another thread, there was an adb command I think that set and enforced the default sim slot. Wonder if that would help with your issue, Nestacres? Sorry, I would search myself and link but just checking in on a quick break at work.

Android Messages isn't comiled for usage with Dual-SIM, as Google Nexus/Pixel phones are all Single-SIM devices. If you know how to use adb you cand do the following:
From adb shell run the following command
Code:
adb shell settings put global multi_sim_sms 1
This did the trick on the U11 DUGL as well, and Android Messages could be used and worked just fine. Thanks to @Electronic Punk for pointing that one out to me!
Soooo Got MMS to work on the default app and with Verizon Message +.... Android messages still does not work and that is something many others have said as well....
Very sad.

Pr3dict: did you do anything different other than what you originally posted? I've been on vacation since i got the U12 and haven't called Verizon. I can send everything, but not receive. I can pop the SIM and put it in my iPhone x and the texts just role in immediately...I really want to love this phone! Lol

It actually works great with dual sim, for some reason HTC left out the default SMS sim option out on Oreo (simply doesn't exist in settings.apk anymore) and only left the data one. Fortunately that fix is basically a fire and forget, once it sees a default it has no issue picking between them.
HTC handle it differently on phone and SMS as they have a button for each sim.

Yeah they handle it quite different. But let's see. Maybe we'll get an overhaul with Android P.

I did everything possible. Even got a new SIM... What seemed to do the trick (and was the last thing I did) was having Verizon block my messages and then unblock them.
Then I could send + receive. Beforehand I could only Send... But beware it does not work with Android Messages.

How did you first activate your phone? If it's not activated properly on Verizon it can fry your SIM card or cause things to not work.
I first swapped my SIM from my U11 and could not make calls but was able to use internet and send and receive text and mms. But just like the U11, I can only receive MMS on the stock apps like HTC messaging and Verizon message+. Cannot receive MMS on third party apps.
But the proper way to activate the U11 and U12+ is to first register your imei with Verizon then you have to transfer your SIM from a Verizon device that has advanced calling/VoLTE in the settings.
The U12+ does not have any Verizon advanced calling or VoLTE setting so if you just pop a new SIM in without first having it activated on a Verizon advanced calling device, it could cause problems and fry your SIM card.
It sucks but that is the best way to activate it.
Manually attached IMEI to SIM, and toggled messages/on/off on my account.
All is well and working for receiving SMS/MMS on stock messages! It worked immediately...
Thanks for the feedback and discussion everyone.

In my case, after updating (purely, after RUU) to v1.21.401.3 I have noticed a few times that after picking up the device and "squeezing" I should wake up, scan my face and unlock my smartphone (I have my preferences set) .
But just the few times after "squeezing" the device does not react at all, there is no vibration.
After the traditional unlocking (applying the finger to the fingerpront or pressing the POWER button) the smartphone wakes up properly.
This happens when the smartphone is not used for a long time (deep sleep?).
But this is not the rule.
I also had ONE total reboot.
On the other hand, the update did not improve in the first few months the best inflections of the volume up button (Vol +). Very often you have to press many times "to surprise", and pressing and holding it to turn up in series - is very difficult to achieve

Is anyone else having issues with the youtube app? Im finding it buggy. To be precise: if I start a video and then turn the phone landscape to go into fullscreen, if I then turn back the phone vertical and come out of fullscreen and then try minimise the still playing video it goes a bit haywire, parts of the screen goes grey and I can't minimise the video. Can any replicate?!

New issue thats bothering THE CRAP OUT OF ME!!!!
The phone isnt vibrating on incoming calls. I thought I just kept not feeling it or hearing it but nope, the phone literally turns the screen on and it just doesnt vibrate. I don't have battery saver on, and I don't have "Do not disturb" on. Its weird.

Discovered a slight work around since. It doesn't happen if you go in and out of fullscreen using little button in the bottom right. So it only happens with auto rotation.

I have been using various android phones for several years and really liked the feature where when one starts to dial a number it populates not only contacts matching but also recently dailed numbers but in this pixel 3 xl it doesn't seem to happen and it only populates matching contacts but not recently dialed numbers, is this not a feature of stock android and something other brands do and if not how do i enable it, and the other issue is i recently brought and activated google home mini and when i say the hot word when both devices are nearby both mini and my phone respond ( i have disabled that settung in phone before hand )and i only want mini and not the phone to respond in that situation, how do i achieve that, thanks.
