Home button launching clock? (Phone stuck in dock mode)

Yesterday afternoon my phone started launching the clock desktop when I press home.
I don't know how it happened or how to fix it.
Running Gingersnap 1.21.

Bump cause I haven't figured this out yet.

I froze the clock app, home button goes home again.
I'm just irritated because that's not fixed, it's not running right and I don't know how to fix it. If anybody has got a clue what's going on lmk please.

Which Rom, kernel and launcher are you using?

Gingersnap 1.21...whatever the kernal that comes with it...the launcher is the one from gingersnap too, not tw.
I posted in the Gingersnap thread of the dev section too, nobody could offer any assistance.
Sorry I don't have more info for you, I'm just an end user. Thanks for trying.

Find your launcher in the app manager and clear defaults if its checked. This will reset the default action or launcher and hopefully ask which launcher you want to use. But I would look into getting a different launcher, like adw if thats not the one you use. The Cyanogen guys live for that one before ICS.

I agree with Steve. Try a different launcher as a temp fix. I used to use FTL and it was definitely fast. I enjoyed it for the time.
It isn't a fix, but it is a workaround. Let us know if it works.

My apologies for this semi-dickish response, but why don't you try and reflash the rom before asking for solutions? Reflashing solves 99% of issues and quite frankly, its not that difficult to do so. If and once you're done gone through the "standard procedure" for solving things, and the problem still persists, thats really when you have to post a new thread.

I am unable to find any launcher in the system apps, and I can tell you I recently cleared the "system" entry's defaults (to get tone picker working) and it had no effect.
I learned that gingersnap uses the default touch wiz launcher. I'm not opposed to using a different launcher, obviously I'm willing to flash new software to improve my phones functionality.
I don't know what launcher will improve my phones general performance. I would appreciate any recommendations.
Thanks for the help.

I would expect no less from an Aggie.
If your car had a single missing cylinder would you put a new engine in it? No of course not, that isn't fixing anything, it's the sole option for alleviating a problem available to somebody with no technical ability and a demonstration of ignorance of underlying systems.
Reflashing the ROM is not a repair, just another work around and a damn poor one because I would have to re set up my phone.
Since, like me, you're an end user with little too no technical ability with these devices please keep your useless comments to yourself. I'm sure there is some off topic forum you can use to get your post count up. kthanx

Well if its a ROM issue re flashing would be a fix if your previous flash encountered issues during the process and thus gave you problems. A re flash with property installation could alleviate the problem your having.

I'm certain it installed without issue, it was stable and without any errors for 5 weeks. The reassignment of the home button happened just a few days ago...and if I didn't know any better I'd say it happened on its own.

No, fixing permissions had not been attempted or suggested, will unfreeze the clock and attempt that.

Unfortunately I did try that and I can tell you that neither clock, digital clock, nor the desk clock have any default settings that can be cleared. Clearing the cache and deleting the app data for those programs had no effect.

Its a phone we're speaking of, not a car. We're not trying to replace the entire motherboard just because a simple application messed up the mapping of your soft keys.
Re-flashing the ROM is more times than not a repair not a work around as you say. Failure to clear the caches correctly or reset the phone to factory settings will often carry over things from other ROM's. As far as re-setting your phone to the way you had it before, thats precisely why nandroid backups exist, not to mention google backup.
I'm quite certain that I have a substantial amount of experience with mobile devices, definitely not to an extraordinary level but yes more than the average end user like yourself. Anything I have learned from these devices has been from trial and error and the compilation of the information already found here on XDA. Not once have I created a single thread inquiring for help regarding issues.
If you wont bother to re-flash your ROM then ultimately that is your decision.

Go to
Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
Click the "All" tab
Scroll down to TwLauncher, clear defaults.
Hopefully that clears it up. Let me know

TWLauncher has no defaults you can clear. Clearing the app data did nothing.
Get this. I used ROM manager to fix permissions, it fixed the home button but after a few hours the phone started running terrible. When I rebooted it the home button launched the clock again. lol.
So it's still not fixed.
And on a side note, my wife really loves go-launcher's themes.

That is the dock home. Its supposed to come up when your phone is docked like in the car. I had the same problem on my first sgs2. For some reason my phone thought it was docked and it would always take me to that screen. And if urs is like mine, ur speaker will always be on when u answer a call or make a call. Someone had suggested that cleaning the usb port on the phone fixed it for them, for me it fixed it for like a day but then started messing up again. Lucky for me the screen stopped responding so a few days later and i had a warranty exchange.
Edit: Also if you freeze or unistall the stock clock it will get rid of that home screen, but not the speaker problem, and mine would also just randomly make that little noise it makes like if it was being connected to the charger so the screen would turn on. It would do that all day and would kill my battery.

Reasons not to update to Baseband version T889UVALK8 ?

So anyone not updating http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4962 & why? - Thnx

I restored the factory rom via Kies last night and updated today. Multi Window seems to work better than the hacks and so far smooth sailing.
May stay stock again since I can just disable bloatware via Android. But I do miss having in things so I may re-root of its safe to on this update with previous methods.

Because each and every rom I have tried has something broken in it so far. Mostly revolves around the s-pen or modification to the systemui. They are like buying a 4x4 truck for the one day a year you want to go offroading, at the expense of loosing power windows.

We have the option to add unlimited apps without flashing as well now. Just an option for those who dont want to play with the counter.

Ok Thanks for that. I just couldn't really see any flaws with the hacked version. But to each their own. You certainly are entitled to your own opinion! And I truly appreciate your feedback.
I like the hacked version better. Also I tried flashing the ota and I just plain and simple didn't like it. I was experiencing some quirky bugs. So I just went back to teshx stock n7105 rom where I'm completely happy.

Funny that you say that this device is giving you the feeling of more freedom from PC. For this device is a PC (Personal Computer). A Pocket Personal Computer aka PPC that is. Or what I like to call ("coin") it as a "Mobile (WiFi/Cellular) Pocket Personal Computer" aka MPPC.
There is long history with PPC in the industry. And Galaxy Note 2 shows how far PPC technology as come. Where do we go from here?
Enjoy!

Agreed I actually have called it a Mobile Pocket PC before in the forums & it can provide more freedom from traditional PCs because it is a PC that is pocketable hence highly mobile. When I tell people (after they ask) that I paid ~$698 after tax they say for a phone & I say no for a pocketable computer with phone functionality & that's what their limiting iPhones without carrier subsidy would begin at before tax http://store.apple.com/ca/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone5 & not to forget about their overpriced service plans instead of my $30/mo no contract plan..
I remember in 2005 being impressed by my HTC made Dell Axim 51v with Skype but this (not the artificially limited iPhone) really is an amazing evolution still delivering wows but I wouldn't mind stereo speakers & a built-in HD projector (or at least very compact projector attachment for the Note3 or 4..) if it is still so pocketable.
Also considering other Samsung devices like http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-ATIV-Smart-Pro-700T/dp/B0098O9TRO as I like convergence form factors & want a tabletbook but still need to research whether it is ready for primetime yet..

The reason I haven't updated is because I'll lose the amazing sound that pegasus kernel provides.
Also undervolting is nice.

I installed the OTA update to my stock unrooted T-Mo GN2 yesterday. Multi-window is nice but I have to train myself to actually use it now.
Observations:
1. T-Sam added a new Multi-window toggle to the pull-down notification bar toggles.
2. T-Sam REMOVED the Sync toggle from the pull-down notification bar toggles.
3. The reboot after upgrade somehow disabled my Sync setting and I couldn't find ANY place in settings to reenable Sync. If anyone knows where in the STOCK Settings to do that, please let me know where.
4. After about an hour of putzing around through every freakin' setting on the GN2, I finally remembered I had the Settings Switcher add-on app for Dolphin Browser and used that to reenable Sync.
So, my first question is: WTF was T-Sam thinking when they removed the Sync toggle? My second question is: Is there a free 1x1 widget or app out there that I can add to my GN2 that does nothing more than toggle Sync on/off? I've already found that ability in the Dolphin add-on, but don't want to continue down that path. I've seen several Settings toggle apps in Play, but none I've found can offer that solitary 1x1 Sync toggle to add to my home screen.

You can use Elixir 2 or widgetsoid.

[GUIDE][CM] Get The Most Out of Your Battery

This is my all inclusive guide on how to get the most out of your battery without sacrificing functionality. Specially tailored for the i747.
WARNING: I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
!!!NANDROID BACKUP!!!​
This guide assumes that you're running Cyanogenmod 11 or a custom ROM based on it. It is organized from most practical and user friendly, to more technical and intensive.
The first manner of business is to upload to the latest bootloader/modem, which can be found here: http://invisiblek.org/d2firmware.html
This provides the most stability/support for the latest CM Nightlies.
Simply download the .zip and flash it in your recovery of choice.
Go into "Settings" > "Apps" and delete any apps you don't use anymore.
Go into all apps you DO use, and make sure "Location" and "Notification" settings are either OFF or on according to if you need them or not.
Disable "syncing" in weather apps, news apps, and any other apps that have background syncing enabled.
Disable "WiFi" when not in use.
Disable "Data" when not in use.
Disable "Location" when not in use. (THIS INCLUDES LOCATION REPORTING.)
Disable "Bluetooth" when not in use.
Disable "NFC" when not in use.
Disable "Automatic Backlight"
Manually set brightness to lowest setting.
Set Screen Timeout to 1 minute or less.
Disable "Sync" when not necessary.
Disable "Auto Rotation" when not necessary.
Disable all haptic/sound feedback under "Sound."
Go into "WiFi" settings, press your menu key, and press "Advanced." Be sure that "Scanning always available" is unchecked.
CHARGE YOUR PHONE WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
Download "Greenify" from the Play Store, open it up, and start hibernating every app you don't depend on. DO NOT HIBERNATE MESSAGING APPS.
I personally hibernated every non-system app I had excluding "Google Keyboard."
You have a special feature called "App Ops under your "Privacy" settings.
Press "Privacy Guard." You'll be presented with a list of apps. These apps can be "secured" with a click. Simply press and app you don't want accessing your location settings, and the little grey lock to the right of the app will become white. This will disable the app from using location services.
Third, open up your apps list under Settings > Apps > "All" tab. Cyanogenmod has many apps that the typical user doesn't want/need, and that take up precious RAM and CPU cycles.
You can disable system apps by clicking on them, and then "Disable."
Apps that can be safely disabled include:
Android Keyboard – REPLACE WITH GOOGLE KEYBOARD
Android Live Wallpapers
Basic Daydreams
Black Hole
Browser – REPLACE WITH CHROME BETA
Bubbles
CM Updater
CM Wallpapers
com.android.wallpaper.holospiral
Downloads
Email – Up to you.
Exchange Services – Safe to disable only if you disable Email
Face Unlock
Gallery – REPLACE WITH QUICKPIC
Google Backup Transport – ONLY IF YOU DON'T USE GOOGLE BACKUP
Google One Time Init
Google Partner Setup
Google Text-to-speech Engine – AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION
Magic Smoke Wallpapers
Market Feedback Agent – DISABLES... MARKET FEEDBACK...
Movie Studio
Music Visualization Wallpapers
Phase Beam
Photo Screensavers
Pico TTS - AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION
Setup Wizard
Tags - ???
Terminal Emulator
Themes provider – STUCK W/ DEFAULT THEME
Voice Dialer
I have disabled all of these apps and had no ill consequence. I haven't gone as far as uninstalling them, but you may if you wish.
Download KT's latest kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756776
Flash in recovery. Be sure to wipe Cache and Dalvik before and after!
WHAT YOU DECIDE TO DO WITH THIS KERNEL IS UP TO YOU. YMMV.
Open KTweaker app.
Set governor to "pegasusq" - This is a more conservative governor, and also allows hotplugging.
Undervolt CPU by 75 mV across the board. - YMMV.
Undervolt GPU by 50 mV across the board. - YMMV.
Set GPU Governor to "simple."
Set "Set options on boot" to set with a 20 second delay. (In case something goes awry.)
Reboot.
ETC. TIPS:
- Get any widgets you don't use off your Launcher. They eat battery too.
- Don't use custom launchers with riced out animations. This tears up your GPU, and your battery life will suffer as a result.
- Turn off "Mock Location" in Developer Options.
- DO NOT USE TASK KILLERS!!!
- Disable "Automatic home clock" in the stock "Clock" app.
- Use ART!
- Turn off roaming!
I'm sure I'm forgetting something. I'll update this if I remember anything. Let me know if this has helped you at all. Feel free to add any tips as you see fit.
Give me a thanks if I've helped you out!

Pretty good if I say so myself.
Never disabled LTE.

But the tips are all about disabling services?
I kid, this is a pretty neat start for people experiencing battery issues. I generally recommend also getting a new battery - the Ankers 2200mAh one is legit.

Yeeeah. I wrote the title before I got started haha. They're all optional, of course. Not many people will miss having a random app in their RAM (Greenify solution.) Or disabling location reporting (I hate location reporting.) Or even undervolting, or getting rid of random CRapps.
I did have that Anker battery, but it bloated on me. It was nice while it lasted, though. (About 3 months.)

Mine has lasted 6 months so far, strange. I replaced the stock battery after it stopped holding a charge within the first 8 months of ownership.
Also, on the topic of Greenify, when I used to have it, I found it was draining almost as much battery as the things it was hibernating, since it spent every waking moment shutting the other things off. Have you found that to be the case at all?

My case may have been user error. It isn't rated to take as quick a charge as the stock battery. I was using a 1A 5V power box. I believe it called for a .7A 5V current.
I have; in the case of my keyboard, and Facebook, as well as Google Play services back when I tried out making it a user app. I got rid of the Facebook app and use the mobile site. It works just as well.

I don't have FBApp notifications on, ever. I used it mostly for the interface and the seamless photo upload via Wi-Fi.
But since I started using Quantum, the battery has been significantly better. If the Facebook app becomes stupid enough with the battery, however, might just follow your lead there.

The problem isn't the notifications, it's the services that the app has that run, even if you have notifications, sync, and background services turned off. I hated it.
I used to use Quantum, back when CM 11 didn't have official nightlies. Great ROM and Dev; not bleeding edge enough for me, though.

That's fair, I just started using it last week, because PA3.99 was crapping out in all kinds of fun ways, and I didn't feel like using SlimKat again. I'm trying out ART now, to see how that affects my battery.

It shouldn't be a massive gain, but definitely more fluid and a bit more quick, which let's you get stuff done faster, and the faster you get stuff done, the less time you use the screen, and that takes load off the battery.

Full cycles like that kill the battery just as fast, if not faster. This is a battery life thread.

Tell me when you're going to use GPS, Bluetooth, and NFC at the same time.
Are you getting directions to McDonalds while you talk to your business client on your Bluetooth headset and paying for your burger with your phone? I didn't think so.
And Sync? Do it manually. What functionality is being lost that can't be toggled in quick settings in half a second? Are you removing any apks, or shutting down any services that wouldn't benefit you again in a couple of clicks?
You're not sacrificing functionality, you're using common sense. Try it sometime.

I use GPS frequently because I use Google Now for commuting, sports, among other interesting tidbits that come up. I also have a Pebble smartwatch that uses Bluetooth. I have no idea why you bother toggling NFC since its only on when the tag triggers it.
And sync is a critical part of my phone as I work in IT and expect hangouts messages or emails at all times of the day. Both my work, friends, and school use technologies that rely on sync, and some of them are time sensitive.
If you don't want to use the features of a smartphone, use common sense and don't buy one. Sorry I don't find your "turn literally every smartphone feature off" guide useful.
Tell me, what exactly do you use your smartphone for?

At the moment, I'm using it to reply to you, and that doesn't require many things to be toggled on at all. I use it to find directions when I need it (I'll turn location on when I need it), to text, call, and do some web surfing and email.
You seemed to have failed to read the rest of the OP, as well. Undervolting? Destroying wakelocks? Custom kernels? ART?
Not everyone is as tied to their phone as you are. This is meant for people like me, who seemed to struggle to make a full day's charge and couldn't seem to for some reason.

Samsung's Good Lock

Pros: You can almost get it looking like stock android (which is why i'm keeping it), Notification layout is nice.
Cons: Battery dies faster, Widgets/Apps Tray layouts are useless for me. Recent apps layout is worse.
http://imgur.com/a/WpoXB

Tried it......for 5 minutes i prefer being able to use samsung themes like 'blue and black AMOLED' theme. Good Lock does not have a black option in routine options

Hmm . I like it more. Haven't had any battery is issues yet.

Only issue i encountered is it doesnt easily explain Uninstall.
1. You can just drag drop the Icon from the AD to uninstall and
2. You cannot find the app in Applications to Uninstall
3. You have to go to settings and uninstall from there.
4. Once you uninstall, remember to Restart your device as soon as possible.
5. If not restarted, your power button would stop working and the only way to get it back is by a Hard Reboot (Power + Volume Down).
Hope this helps people looking in to this.
Other than that, had no Battery Drain Issues and it worked fluidly. Did find the "Ignore Repetitive Notification" that I dismiss without looking in messages Annoying and sadly, if by mistake I did say so for specific ones (Work Email and Whatsapp), it stopped showing the message notification all together.

Sorry, forgot the * on that. It was mostly visual. Coming from the S6e, the S7e is substantially better due to the much bigger battery, but with a Wireless charger at work, didn't see "major" drain issues.
Although, when the Power Button stopped working yesterday, I almost called Tmo and thought of returning before the Hardboot fix, as this is a System UI App.
Just wondering, did you have AOD on? I did have that off. Doubt it would make a difference, but the Good Lock is a Lock Screen, and since my Nexus 1 days, I remember them always being a Drain.

They just posted a new version and they took care of most of original people complaints, the only thing missing for me right now is the Quick Connect feature that it seems that the only way to get access to it is via Original Notification shade. If the fix this, for me will be a keeper, for sure, I've been keeping it expecting for an update and now I can say that they are 90% where they should be with this.
In general, a very good update.

I use this as well for my Samsung 4K TV! I actually find myself using it more and more lately. I've run around the house a lot while watching a program and being able to send it to my phone to view while I'm in another room is great! I recently was watching a friend playing a game on his TV, I did a quick connect while I was sitting on his patio with another friend, and was able to keep up with the story-line while on his patio. What's weird is that I didn't get any lag using quick connect but when I tried a simple screen mirror i got lag as well as quality downgrade that was very noticeable.

This is the only problem I've been having so far with Good Lock. That and the horrible app switcher..

For me I would like them to add a private mode toggle.

I want to be able to actually choose black, and customize more options such as the lockscreen and recents. I don't like the new recents but I can't leave good lock and give up the stock android icons and drawer

I can't find the app in the app drawer. I visited the Samsung Galaxy Apps store and it said the app is installed. When I clicked on the Good Luck app, the only option is to update the app. Can someone plz help?
Edit: NM. Figured it out.

It comes preinstalled on Tmo I believe (or at least it installed itself after a while). I am having issues installing the latest version of Good Lock. Phone keeps restarting and reverting back to stock systemui. RIP

That's weird. I just updated to the latest version and it's been really smooth with no issues that was there with the previous releases. Maybe try the typical uninstall reboot reinstall? Or if you disabled some apps that could be causing some instability.

Yeah, I installed the first version of Good Lock and it was fine. Uninstalled it shortly after until the next update.
There is no way to uninstall the app from the Galaxy Apps store; the only option is to update it. My Apps does not show Good Lock as installed. I've tried clearing cache, re-enabling all my disabled apps, rebooting several times without much success. I am not the only apparently as several others are having the issue and posting about it on reddit. Hopefully this can be fixed with an update. Don't really want to factory reset to get Good Lock working.

I have no issues uninstalling from my device. I just go to the app drawer tap on the icon and it gives me the option to uninstall. I see what you mean by not being able to delete from Galaxy Apps though

Question Issues Keeping Background Apps Running

Anyone else having issues with keeping apps running in the background? I have a couple apps (one for doorbell camera and one for outdoor security cameras) that will only stay active for a short time and provide notifications on my phone when motion was detected. I can open one of the apps after not getting any notifications for a long period and then I will get all the notifications that never came through.
I have done all the normal steps of making sure the battery optimization was turned off for these apps and turning off all data restrictions with no luck. I had several go around with TCL support and exhausted their possible solutions. The same doorbell app worked fine on my old Pixel so I am pretty sure it isn't the apps.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I tried the beta 3, but my phone was not listed with the CU regulatory Number, whatever that is. I cant go back to 11 and I dont know if ill be able to go forward. But it did solve the notification issues.

Welcome to XDA
Power management destroyer of worlds
Developer options>standby apps
All buckets should show as active otherwise power management is enabled!
You can't change that setting here. If you can change a bucket state and get it to take (close Developer options/reopen) then again power management has been enabled.

One method I think is working without upgrading to Android 12 is to disable the "Smart Manager" app via adb
You can download sdk platform-tools and run command
adb shell
pm disable-user com.tct.onetouchbooster
You do lose out on accessing some battery options, though, since it's integrated into the app, but I don't mind it. Hope it helps

I have an unlocked T810S that I'm using here in the USA with Cricket Wireless (an AT&T MVNO). My phone has Android 11, and the notification issues are driving me crazy. I don't yet see any updates for Android 12, so who knows when I can get that.
I saw what @rickywangca did, and did something similar. From my Linux box:
Code:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.tct.onetouchbooster
And that uninstalled the "Smart Manager" application. I'm happy to have that thing gone, but I still have notification issues that I can't figure out.
For the apps in question, I added them to do "do not optimize" battery list, but that didn't seem to help. One app is configured to give me a daily notification, but I almost never receive it. I actually got the notification one day and was surprised.
Any other tips or ideas on dealing with the notification issue? Do I need to clear something else out related to the onetouchbooster "Smart Manager"?

Is global power management active?
Developer options>standby apps, all buckets should show as active otherwise global power management is active. It will cause erratic behaviors. It's not needed or desirable, it never did work well. It can not be disable here though.
Example: how its controls appear on a Samsung N10+ in Device Care, battery, it's usually a little buried but it's there. You'll find something similar to this. It's part of the core Android system.
These settings will cause trouble...

This T810S TCL 20 Pro 5G is an awesome phone, but the lack of notifications drives me crazy.
I looked at my Developer Options, trying to see something similar to what you have on that Samsung, and I see these, which appear to be inactive.
"Adaptive notification priority"
"Adaptive notification ranking"
But when I go to my Inactive Apps list, I see a variety of different "App standby state" values. It appears that I can change some of them here to have the different values of:
"ACTIVE", "WORKING_SET", "FREQUENT", "RARE", "RESTRICTED".
Which value should I choose if I want the app to stay active and send me notifications?
Here's a screen grab of what I see:
Oh how badly I just want to receive notifications from my applications, to make my phone fully functional. I get notifications from certain apps like gmail, telegram and facebook, but not from apps that I want like the LG ThinQ app, and Lightning Pro.

In general...
Power management with the bucket states and all of that is a native Android service. Part of battery management. You can't disable in Developer options but you can tell if it's active there. You can use it to verify that you have disabled though.
Samsung modifies their UI heavily. The settings they use may be similar to other brands, Pixels being the "purest" version of Android. In Pixels the controls for that are in battery care in settings, I think (I never owned a Pixel). Terms like Adaptive battery or Battery saver may be the ones thst switch it on/off. Verity it then with the Standby Apps status.
There is a way to set exceptions to Adaptive battery and that may work too. I never used it or if I did it failed to work properly in one way or another... it's been years. I ended up turning the whole mess off and using other methods to increase my SOT.
The best way to learn how your Android works is to play with it. Go through all the settings and play with them when you have time. Like a game, it's sort of fun. Do Google searches for specific issues; it doesn't have to be that specific model or even brand. Androids are similar across Android flavors and OS versions to a greater or lesser extent. Learn by reading about them. That's all I do and eventually track down the issue. The more you do this, the better and faster you get at it. Find/get the tools you need to better understand what's happening like a logging firewall, battery trackers etc.
I see you have social media and sales apps installed. I never do this. If I need to access them I login to them through Brave browser only.
They tend to consume excessive battery and are multi vector security threats*. They can also cause problems by changing hidden user settings which could have global consequences. You are what you load. At the very least not having any trashware makes troubleshooting easier and yields a better running Android. Disabling the questionable app when not in use is another option I sometimes use if I really need it.
*Just because it's on Playstore doesn't mean it's safe. Any app that updates outside of Playstore could download a trojan payload to what appeared to be a safe app. Any app that has internet access is a potential security threat. I firewall block all that don't absolutely need it and don't update any unless there's a good reason to.
