Camera shortcut? - T-Mobile HTC One (M8)

Anybody else's camera shortcut (volume and rotate phone to landscape) work spotty at best? Its a really cool feature but it works when it feels like it. I find myself doing the shortcut 3-4 times and finally get the camera to work.

I've only got it to work a few times. It does seem a little iffy.

interestingly enough, sometimes it works if you rotate slowly, sometimes it only works if you rotate fast, sometimes volume up, sometimes down.

I'm with you. I loved the concept when I first got the phone, but it was so unreliable I don't bother anymore.

Droid not vibrating?

So basically my Incredible only vibrates when it wants to. The keys vibrate from time to time when pressed, i havent noticed calls though right now is just the keys and i use the default keyboard.
Anyone experiencing this?

Mine does it sometimes to. It just gives the inc character lol. From what I can remember it's done it on every rom except sky raider and stock lol.

How old is your Inc? Mine is about 7 months old now and I am running into some issues every now and then where the vibration just feels dead. It also makes a weird clicking sound when it boots up. It may be a ROM that you are using or your vibe motor is just kicking the bucket.
I really dont know i bought it off ebay with a bad esn. But it was perect mint condition with the box manuals and evrything... Im running the Incredirom 2.2 and in fact the vibration does stop working because i often press the volume down button to put it into vibration mode and it does not vibrate when i put it in vibration mode. U know how is suppose to vibrate when u set it in vibration mode, it sometimes does not vibrate.

It's stable and has some Cm features, it's pretty good.

If you're not opposed to upgrading, I recommend Pure Speed V7. It's a port from the evo shift also its 2.3.3. Your incredible's memory will decrease a little but it is solid and I have no issues with it on mine. But if your vibration still doesnt work, you have a busted motor.
Mine does this also. I have no idea why. I usually have haptic feedback off but when I do have it on it fades out every now and then.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
I read a while back that your haptic feedback motor can basically be overloaded by heavy activity, and that giving your phone a firm shake when it's being unresponsive will correct the problem. it's always worked for me.
Didnt like Sky Raider, drastically slowed down my phone. Returned to stock 2.2. And yeah i think my motor is busted.
Lol and i tried shaking it and it works but i will look like an idiot shaking my phone every 5 minutes on the train or bus.

Looking for an app that would dim and lock my phone when I put it in my pocket

Looking for an app that would dim and lock my phone when I put it in my pocket; blackberry style. It sounds a bit ridiculous, but having to hit the power button after every call to make sure it locks out is getting a bit tedious... Any suggestions.

There's a few... proximity sensor off is like that.. a few others too. Search proximity sensor in the market and you'll see some.

That will work! Of course if you use your phone for ANYTHING besides simply making a call it'll get old real quick. Seriously though, I found a dozen different apps that are power button replacements and proximity sensor offs... there's also a lot of different Widgets that put a "screen off" button on your screen so you don't have to reach for the power button every time. I use a power off widget on my bigger phones to make it quicker to kill the screen... wow, I just realized how sad and spoiled we are! Do you guys remember Windows 98???

Thanks to everyone who responded, you've all been a great help. Now as far as proximity sensor apps go, are there any that stand out as being the best?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
just try them, no one is going to hand feed you.
LOL
@ hand feed!
You can also check out screen off and lock. That's what I'm currently using, once you set it up you can just place a widget on your home screen, tap the icon and "done", you can also add a touch of old tv style to it

The slowest thing on your phone

Hi guys. So, now when we have Jelly Bean and all things are really smooth, what's the slowest/most lagging app on your phone?
Ironically for me it's the official XDA app.
XDA app stutters like crazy. Surprisingly, Facebook is really smooth.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
the youtube app is the slowest to open (1-2 sec after u tap the icon) , whereas other apps mostly open instantly.
as for lags and stutters well there is a big list of such apps, xda is definitively one of them
I am the slowest thing on my phone - everything else - super fast.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Netflix is still laggy when I open it, but that's not the phone's fault. Everything else seems to be up to par.

Do you exit from apps with back button? For the first time it relly takes about two seconds, but later it loads instantly if i exit from app with home button.
Power Amp is the slowest to open on my phone, but once I'm in, it's fast.

Yep xda is the most stuttery

scrolling lags like crazy
Does anyone have App Drawer lag? if you leave the app drawer long enough and don't use it, then when it comes to using it and you open it, does it lag a tiny bit for the first swipe?
I don't know if it's just me getting that but it's random and looks like it's sticky or something.

What launcher you're using? I use Nova launcher and it's buttery smooth. Also lag could be caused by inproper CPU speed/governor settings.
I am using apex launcher and its very smooth.no lags or something.

the lag I notice most is loading the dialer, idk if its really "lag", but its not as instant loading as messages lol

Very slow "quick glance" functionality

I just discovered the Quick Glance function where you wave your hand over an off screen and the screen turns on to show you some notifications.
I love it.
Only problem is that it's super slow on my phone. Average screen on time is about 5 seconds so it's much easier and faster to just hit a button to turn on the phone.
Is this function slow on everyone's phone? I am using apex launcher and swift key if it matters.

I've noticed it can be reasonably responsive after a reboot. But right now at my desk, its taking about 2 seconds to come on.
Mine takes several seconds too. I turned it off for that reason plus it uses the proximity sensor at all times. Go into a dark room and look at the phone, you'll notice a dull red glow from the prox sensor. I didn't like what that must be doing to my battery especially since the sensors don't show up in the battery stats so that you can see exactly how much it's using.
Yep, it's really slow for me too. Half the time I wonder if I swiped the sensor properly or not. Turned it off.

Slow for me as well.....also worried about what its going to do for battery life too.

I see the same battery life with it on or off. 5-6 hours screen on time depending on what I'm doing and what's running in the back ground. And yes mine takes 2 seconds to come on too which doesn't bother me at all.

Maybe you not waving your hand right. I know that sound stupid but after a while playing with it when I first got the phone it took a while for me to learn how to actually get it to work, you wave your hand a distance away from the screen. If you do it to close it won't come on.

It is. But I like the lil cool factor it has when people see me use it as opposed to the home button. When I use home button I get Samsung is trying to get as similar to Apple as possible. But I do like the home button lol

My quick glance also gets slower after a while, but once I restart the phone, it becomes quite fast again (within 1 second).

Try this: Boot your Nexus 7 2013 in landscape with the volume buttons facing down.

Do you see a graphics glitch?

Yes, just as the lock screen comes up, but then it seems fine. Strange.
BS...
u mean with the screen facing the ground? or the volume buttons near the ground, im confused, maybe a pic/vid would help
The launcher FC'd but after acknowledging the event everything is fine.
A video showing the issue being reproduced may be useful so we can identify it.
The second time I tried this I noticed when the glowing x was about to be replaced with the lock screen the x dropped to the bottom center of the display, as if the height on the display was two times the actual size.

I got the glitch, but it didn't really seem to affect anything on mine. It straightened itself out almost immediately and the normal lock screen came up.
I noticed this glitch today, but like the others said it doesn't really matter much since it corrects itself right away.
I wouldn't call it a "glitch", more like an annoyance, that happens to the Nexus 7(2012) as well. The bootanimation/logo is supposed to be portrait, but as the tablet start up it tries to move to landscape mode, but since it's a portrait image it moves that way, making it look like something's wrong but it's not. You can change the lockscreen to not rotate and stay in portrait or don't hold it landscape while it boots up, in that way you won't see it again.
Edit: Also happens to the brightness level, it's just the tablet starting up.
