I have had my Z1C for a couple of days now, but I have found one missing feature in chrome I am struggling to live without that my xperia t on 4.3 had working perfectly.
Its the magnifier box that pops up when you hit a link close the another one and it just wants you to confirm exactly hat you were pressing, it doesn't do it at all on my Z1C running 4.4.2?
I have looked through the settings, what few there are but I cant find anything to enable it?
Any help anyone has would really be appreciated.
Thank You
When I first got my z1c I was running 4.4.4 and chrome did have this feature. I haven't noticed it lately, though. Perhaps google removed it in an update.
Sorry just realised yes I'm running 4.4.4, but can't find a way to get the feature working, it makes navigating desktop style sites very difficult, I'm forget zooming in and out.
Can anyone confirm they have 4.4.4 and this is working? Thank you
Can anyone else please try chrome on their 4.4.4 Z1C and see if they get the magnifier on links where it is not 100% on which link you pressed.
Its a feature I am really missing, both my T and Z1C are running the same version of chrome but the T does it and the z1c doesn't.
Thank You

Yeah I loved having that feature on my old HTC One X. My Z1c running Cyanogenmod 11 M9 (4.4.4) does not get the pop up magnifier thing... As far as I remember even when I was on stock I never got it.

Hmmmm so seems its something the affects all of us. Anyone out there want to find a way to fix it through xposed framework and make my Z1C perfect hehe
If anyone has it working please let me know as its such a great feature for letting you browse desktop sites on a mobile.

Here is a discussion about the problem. Towards the bottom there is talk of a fix in future updates. An xperia z2 user claims to have the same problem
Some touch devices report either zero or unreasonably small touch sizes. While
this doesn't present a problem for gesture detection, it does affect the
behavior of the touch-derived gestures. For example, tap disambiguation is
prevented if the tap gesture's size is sufficiently small.

Currently, Ventriloid and Mangler are non functional for the Android JB firmware. Although the Ventriloid dev has posted a temp fix in the app description, it crashes alot and will not serve much use for me. Is it possible for someone to post a fixed app or a way to access vent on JB?

Just wanted to jump in and mention that I am having issues too. Samsung SII, cm10. When I start ventriloid is initially says connecting, but then very often goes back to mobile's home screen. It then leaves a notification bar entry saying that it is connected. When you click on that, it does its two vibrates and goes off entirely. Sometimes I can get it going again, but is very fiddly. Dont know if this helps. Hope so.

Have downloaded and it seems to work well. (Did loose the Ventriloid icon though!) One comment: One must tick the box Enable Global Push to Talk in order to see key. That is fine, but it does cover up part of you keyboard if you, for example, need to type in a password for a channel. Not a problem, but thought I would at least mention it.).:good:

I'm glad it's working for you I'm working on a complete UI overhaul and that global push to talk was more or less a proof of concept for being able to talk outside of the app. Android has limitations for hardware key interception that won't allow push to talk while the app is in the background, so hopefully people will enjoy this new button. It will eventually be a bar with other options that can be hidden. Thanks so much for testing, I'm glad the ICS/JB fix is working.

I greatly appreciate it I need to get a Bluetooth headset for testing, but Christmas and next semester's tuition has completely drained me haha. Let me know if you have any other issues or feature requests!
Here's a link to check it out. Not sure if it works. If anybody wants to test out the APK, please report back with your results.
Thanks but the app is only installable on the ULTRA, MAXX, Mini, and Moto X.
it installs without problems, but doesn't appear in appdrawer, and playstore says it's incompatible with the One
I have installed the .apk, but can't start it, as it isn't present as an actual app. I think, we also need the settings app directly from the Moto X/Droid Series, in order to be able to set up the actual touchless cotrols app.
Application installed just fine on my Telus Galaxy S3 with CM10.2. Added the activities shortcut through Nova Launcher. Tried to launch each activity but it just crashed.
Rebooted and continuous errors.
There's something unique in Motorola's framework similar to TouchWiz/Sense etc. I know this is the HTC One forums, but I felt like trying it out
lol i like how the OP post an apk wants people to test but it too scared to test it himself
wont work...but
why not try something that really works (touchless gesture that is)

i've got the air gestures half working (screen on, scroll through browser etc) gonna try and get the rest working later on...
as for motorola touchless control apk it will never work without the motorola chip inside
Touchless controls is going to require a Motorola Phone. It requires a specific low-core processor that allows the phone to be constantly listening, if we kept the mic in our phones on 24/7 without Motorola's specific hardware, our battery would die in 1 hour.

I was at work and couldn't download it and play with it. I have since tried it (it failed for me too), and have done some more digging. Apparently, the Moto X has a core in it's processor made to do just this. We do not have that core. Looks like this is a lost cause...
Stop saying core! It's a DSP, noting 'core' about that. .
But yes, this is useless without that chip. There is a app on play store that does the same thing and you can even set the wake phrase ('Jarvis!'). Haven't tried it so I cannot comment on battery, but I'm sure it uses quite a bit.

Is this going to be able to work with the nexus 5 because is has the same snapdragon 800 or will it still struggle? So disappointed the nexus 5 doesn't feature some of the moto x impressive features like touchless control and amazing battery. Otherwise it is a great phone!

Didn't anybody tell you? We're obliged to mess around with our phones, edit build.props, you know, stuff that could render our devices as, well.....paperweights really, just so the op can laugh at our expense.
How about OP, you install on your device, if it doesn't work....bad times, if it does work, post a solution. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

hi
I,ve just replaced a nexus7 2013 after i hit the multitouch problem,everything was fine with it whilst it was running build JWR66N,but then i got a notification to update to the latest version.
I was reluctant to do so,but eventually decided to take the plunge,so i updated,it put build JSS15Q on my nexus...result was terrible multitouch issues,basically the update had inflicted my "working perfectly tablet" with the dreaded multitouch issue,needless to say i was gutted.
My new nexus again comes with the JWR66N build,my question is,can i stop the tablet auto downloading the new update(JSS15Q),i know i don't actually have to install it,but i was told that if i power of my nexus,it will automatically install the update when i reboot,is this true?
Don't want to go anywhere near that JSS15Q update,or any future updates at all if possible.
To be honest,i'm not that interested in having bleeding edge versions,if my nexus works flawlessly on the JWR66N build then i could'nt care less if i never updated ever again,if it ain't broke,don't fix it.
You should look at the two posts in my signature. They will cover everything you need.
BTW the update won't automatically install when you reboot. You can also turn off the notification in the framework services configuration.

Okay,thanks Sfhub,can I just ask though,I have the jss15q update sitting in my notification panel,until I specifically allow it,will it just stay there,I mean,will it at some point install itself without any action by me.
What happens if I reboot,will that instigate the update process.
As long as I'M in control of when it gets installed I'm happy,I know it fixes the GPS issue,but I literally never use GPS,so I'm not bothered about fixing that.
Would really really appreciate some help on this,cheers pal

Really? I just do the twist motion to switch. That's still available to do luckily for me.
They removed the grid button from the quick toggles but would've been nice if they let you customize it. A portrait mode quick toggle would save me a tap.

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. I'm pretty confident that you can as its still an official verison.
Come to think about it I'm sure I've also updated an app manually like this and then updated it on its next release (I think I did this with android wear).
I noticed the "subscribe to pushbullet updates" on apk mirror so did that for the Google camera. That way can get the update a little faster

Sure. I did the same thing with the phone apk a while back when it was updated to 16.0. Sometimes it just takes google a little longer to catch up with their own apps ??
So they replaced a really good feature (double tap to zoom) with double tap to switch cameras? I hope it doesn't do that during a recording.
Edit: So I have camera version 5.2 and it's the same as before.
They have improved noise levels in the photos recently, I liked that
Edit Edit : There's tons of new settings yay

Oh, No problem, you can choose if you want to zoom or switch camera! Do not worry
I always download APK updates whenever I can just cause I'm impatient. Android Police is quick on getting Google updates post with APK links. And yes, you can get regular updates through the Google Play Store still.
I would actually have liked the double tap to switch cameras with the video recording as I see iPhone Instagram stories doing it. It's cool to film something then show your reaction.

I dont see some difference in FSG animations, anyway dont really like new MIUI, new font kinda bugs me for some reason, when charging that circle with the percentage in bottom is now gone, and i liked that, so much easier to see the % in the circle than how it is now, dont like the scroll in the settings.... dont really see whats "better" now, and now there are things that bothers me and did not before, so its a bad update for me, i dont know maybe i just need time to get to use to it. Btw scroll ss in chrome is working just fine for me.
lol either the server is down or the update got pulled off because if i check for updates it says that there are no updates available, but earlier today at work when i checked it was available, but was unable to download it due to crappy wifi speed.
will check again tomorrow
Because its a beta stable it's not pushed out to everyone.

Battery percent still show in my lockscreen while charging, maybe you can try to change to another lockscreen theme or you can turn on battery percent in status bar
yes, it still shows the percentage, but i was referring to this bottom part, it was shown in a circle before on Miui 10, and was so much easier to see the number of percentage
