I can't speak to the Internet app, as I use Chrome, and it doesn't do this. Are you talking about the immersive mode of fullscreen apps, like Google Play Books or YouTube? That's by design.
Although, I can't imagine the Internet app is supposed to do that... Sorry I can't offer much help. Maybe you could list some more apps that do it. What stock rom are you on? (Rogers, AT&T, etc)

I moved this to Q&A since it's a question. My attempt to answer your question:
I've noticed that some apps have built in menu functions and will turn off the keys. The custom ROMs probably have a toggle set that keeps the keys there not matter what. That's my guess without more info.

How do i get rid of the SMS notification on the Sense lockscreen?

On the bottom, it has a text showing from the person that last texted me. Just wondering how to stop it from showing up there because it defeats the purpose of having a pattern unlock if anyone can see who texted me. Please and thanks!
That's easy,just switch roms.

Stop cheating. People at least cant respond to the text with the patern unlock. But you could always replace the lockscreen with something.

Yeah, thanks for the helpful post. Because you obviously know enough about my life to judge anything. Maybe this forum is for help and not personal attacking. 3rd party lockscreens are lame, unnecessary and take up space. Went back to stock ROM. Thank you again for your help.

Honeycomb lockscreen!

hey guys i found this fooling around on the market thought you might like it:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen_free&feature=search_result
works on any android device pretty much!
Ehhh, not really a fan of having ads on my lock screen. Won't buy it until I can see that the dev will support it.
Would love to have the honeycomb lock screen, but I'm willing to wait for it to be baked in once google lets the source go.

Good lookin out! I've been wanting this forever! Freakin sweet as an apk. The ads kinda suck but its super clean.

Works really well. Ads suck tho lol
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Sounds cool. For those that use Adfree, does it remove the ads? LOL
banging on fools from my HTC Troll
agreed with the ads sucking lol
havent tried ads free it may work
Also curious if anyone will notice any negative effect on battery life.

Adfree works with this, though you'll have to reboot after turning it on. Other than that, works great with CM7 nightly 95 with the stock lockscreen disabled. No noticable battery issues yet either.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
yup with no ads on and disabled lockscreen and after a couple of days i can say it does no drain battery and its working great!
I really like the unlock screen I can say adfree does 100% work on removing the adds. I have found that you have to put it on the ignore list with task killers otherwise when u use the task killer it turns that lockscreen off. It was working great for a day or so but now both stock lock screen and new lock screen come up so I have to unlock it twice, does anyone know how to remedy this? I would like this intergraded into the rom or a zip file you could flash, could someone do that? I'm running cm nightly 99

Go into the tablet tweaks section of the cm settings menu and turn off the lockscreen. That'll fix your double lockscreen problem.
The added bonus with that fix is that you'll have full access to the notifications pulldown before you unlock your device. Really useful for checking messages and using the lockscreen toggles.

If you want to get rid of the ads, download adfree from the market and hey presto no more ads

I bought it to support the dev, more people that buy it the more inclined he is to keep supporting it.

Disable Hardware Button Backlight?

I've read somewhere that this is possible by running a script or something. I do not feel comfortable doing that so was wondering if there is an app or a flashable mod that will help me achieve this?
Thanks

You can install a custom rom that allows this.

Which?

They all probably have this option just look at the features list.

Please can someone share the script or point me to the right direction? The backlight is a bit anoying, even while waching youtube. I would love to know the trick.

[Q] Flashlight text/call notification?

I know this is retarded but I have got my phone set to flash the camera flash when i receive a text or call and now i can't get rid of it
I have so many apps with so much functionality i cant remember which one had the setting in, i'm certain it's not a native OS function
is there any recommendations to reset this to default without uninstalling half my apps
yes i have googled/xda'd it and cant find an answer + yes i have searched high and low through all the apps
I would really appreciate if anyone knows of a quick solution!
Its in settings, accesibilty, flash notification.. hope that helps

Change color of messages bar

Finally got the wife to move over from the dark side, iPhone, to Android! It's the little things in life... Anyways, of course she wants it all pretty like the iPhone, so I've been trying to help her customize it pretty good. In the stock messaging app, you can change the theme. But, is there any way to change the color of the bar at the very top that says "Messages"? It stays blue!

I believe not yet . . I know there's a lot of people requesting the option to change the colours to their own but nothing yet . . I'm sure rooting would allow it some way but I've yet to take the plunge of rooting my M8

Thanks for the responses. Now we're having issues with the TV app. I was able to set mine up just fine. On hers, when she get to the screen where it asks for your favorite TV shows, then hits next, we get an error message... Something about not being able to retrieve the data from the server.. I've tried everything.. uninstalling the update, which just updates when you open the app, clearing the app data/cache, etc. Any ideas on this one?
