Odd, random question - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A question for those that make use of the toolbox feature. Wheres the best place to put the little button? I'm having an issue with it covering up an area that I end up needing. Right now I just disable it when it isn't in use, but I'm starting a new job where having enable always would be incredibly useful. Any ideas?

[REquest] Vanilla Slide To Answer

The HTC SENSE slide up and down is driving me nuts when i carry my phone in my pocket i either answer or decline the call before i even see who it is.....
Ive searched countless forums for a Vanilla Slide to Answer just like the Slide to Unlock/ringer Slide and with no luck have i come across such mod..
Can any devs look into this or possibly point me in the right direction thanks

I would like to have this also. Pulling the phone out of my pocket often results in prematurely answering a call I didn't want to take. Especially while wearing my Motley Crue stonewashed edition ballhuggers.

Happens to me all the time.
This should just be an option in the menu somewhere. Side-side or up-down.
Common HTC you can do it!

JUST slide to answer? Or Vanilla lock as well?

[Q] Change answer/decline call method?

I just switched back to sense using the Desire HD rom. but I'm remembering the biggest thing i hate about sense: swiping up and down on incoming calls. Obviously I keep my phone in my pocket and locked most of the time, so getting a call and pulling my phone from my pocket answers or declines the call for me depending on which way its sitting in there. why htc decided to use this, I dont know but it sucks.
My question would be: has someone figured out how to change this to the standard form of answering/rejecting calls? Even the galaxy s phones uses vanilla style but we get the crap up and down bar.

Use a root explorer program and delete the htc lockscreen, under it is the vanilla one, the one where you slide left and right

I tried that on all the standard sense roms and that only changed the lockscreen for me, but not the incoming calls. also, on the Desire HD rom, I can't even delete the apk because it causes bootloops for some reason.

Deleting the lockscreen apk has no bearing on the phone apk.
To answer the OP, there is currently no way to disable the slide to answer function that I am aware of as this question has come up repeatedly in the dev forum. Deleting the phone apk causes some fairly significant issues, as you can imagine.

yea I thought so. I figured it would have to do with phone apk calling up the function from android.policy or services.jar wasn't sure if anyone knew how to change it.

This is the reason I will never consider switching back to any Sense based rom. I have accidently answered/declined a call more times than I can remember. Thank god the rebooting issue was figured out for the AOSP roms.

Search for No Lock or Easy Answer Button in the market. Either app should provide a suitable workaround.

I don't understand the workaround with No Lock. This application in not to unlock the device with a button?
I've installed Easy Answer Button. It doesn't work perfectly, and I have the same problem: the case answer or cancel randomly a incoming call
Thanks!
Same for me i need to change this method of answer call , i've tested Easy answer button , tedd droid tools but it's really what i want.
I want to slide on the left or on the right in order to answer or reject a call.
Someone can help me please ?
Edit: I've found what i want with cyanogen mod , it's perfect now .
That was my big problem with slide way answering a call too, but it's not anymore due to SimplyLock app that I found in market.
Hope it will help all guys who ran into the same problem.
I searched a few hours for a solution of this problem and finally found one i will try now.
The App I installed is called HD Caller ID and is free.
So for you, looking for a solution try this App. Maybe it´s good for your belongings.

question about the touch keys

first of all...i'm a complete newbie to android so pardon any ignorance i may show.
the touch keys...either side of the main button on the bottom of the note 2.....is there a way to disable them and have them on screen instead ??
i keep handing the phone to the missus to look at something and she instinctively touches there and knocks whatever screen was on off (if that makes sense)....i keep touching them by accident myself and backing out of apps
again...thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

[Q] Floating Multiwindow on SynergyROM r484?

Been using this rom for a month now and just figured I'd finally ask instead of just dealing with it. So are the pins and all the floating multiwindow features that I've seen in most of the youtube reviews not in the ATT version? I don't get them at all unless theres something that I'm missing. Other than that top notch ROM and I thank the Synergy team for making my life better with it.
Just curious is the popup browser supposed to be able to be resized too?
Answered my own question. Silly me. In display settings under multi window is Synergized Titlebar Control. Turn on On Both Windows In MultiWindow. For anybody in the future that is as silly as I am and didn't try this.
I ran into the same problem a few days ago as well until one Youtube video showed how to turn it on. I have to say that I prefer it off. The added bars take up way too much space in an already cramped screen if I'm using multi window.

Let's try and put all the questions here so we keep the Dev thread clean.

Aren't bugs supposed to be posted in the dev forum? To me the Q&A forums should be like "How do I find the freaking developement options" or "What is ART". Seems silly to have a Q&A about a rom thats in developement.
Yeah but people are asking the same questions over and over

New bugs that haven't been reported 100 times already, and that come with and ONLY THAT COME WITH a logcat showing the log of error should be posted in development forum.
Silly or not, this is a strategy for moving non development questions out of dev threads that has proven effective on XDA and that has specficially been appreciated by Albinoman since he started building CM for the HTC Sensation over a year ago.
This will also hopefully cut down on the number of "Wow! This ROM is awseome!" posts that litter development threads and make it hard to find real issues. Because he is a particularly awesome Developer, Albinoman gets quite a bit of those. Posts like that and repeat reports of known bugs, and even reports that say "everything works great" do little more than bury useful development related posts that would be useful to a developer. Albino has previously expressed his frustration over this in other threads.
So please, everyone please use this thread for all the questions, reports of smooth operation, and appreciate posts about how awesome Albino is.
And for that matter, (this is directed at everyone) if you all really love Albino's work so much, toss him a few bucks. He has worked countless hours trying to sort out everything from major issues to tiny annoying bugs to keep your phones running far better than they did on the day you first took them out of the box. Send a buck or two (Or twenty!) his way to thank him for his hard work.
Click below to donate to him....(Yes, this button donates to Albino, not me)
Note: The name on the paypal account may say patricia, this is because it's a family paypal account.
Hey guys, quick question; how do I enable the option to save photos to SD card with this camera? By the easy this ruin is awesome... Thanks Albino and the team

Question
So I downloaded 11/13 and so far the only thing that I can't get to work is the auto rotate function. I tried to change it in stetting by turning it on and off by that has not seemed to get it to work. Any ideas?
Lastly I was playing a games (Clash of Clans) before I flashed my phone i backed up everything via titanium backup, once I got done flashing and installed the game with data it wouldn't start were I had left off. It just wanted to initiate a new game. Could this be due to compatibility with the game on 4.4? Or am I just doing something wrong?
Thanks

I don't think Titanium works with 4.4 yet. So any of your save data in Titanium will not be able to be restored....yet. Ephisis on yet.

If it can be done go to Camera, hit the menu button, and look for the settings menu in there. (It's all icons so I can't tell you what anything is called.)
But that option may not be added to the camera yet.
When I was on the SGS4G forums we put questions in its own Q&A thread and it worked really well.
BTW anyone else having issues with the sound search widget?

Titanium worked fine for me. Also time is updating right and Wi-Fi is working great. Only issue I have is the green lines on my ffc.

Are you to running ART or Dalvik? Titanium will not work using ART. Many bugs going on with ART as it is experimental and it had been recommended by all the developers I've seen to stick to dalvik for now

Mute not working
I am unable to post in the dev thread as I do not have a high enough post count but I am having issues with mute on the ROM. While on a call if I push mute, the button lights as if it is muted but I have confirmed that it does not actually mute anything. This can be rather awkward to say the least. Looking through the dev thread, I saw one or two people mention the same issue but it seems to have gotten buried in all the other posts.
Anyone have any ideas or can we get this added to the bug list?
one suggested solution is formatting the SD card to vFat
I formated my SD card to vfat but still won't show up.I guess any other suggestions would be appreciated. But not a big deal to me

Did you mean that you aren't able to access external SD?
If so, I had the same problem until I updated to 11-15. Think it was fixed in update.
BTW, remember to change File Manager access mode (File Manager app - in general settings) make sure to change from Safe Mode to Enable Root Access Mode.
I thought the ROM still had that bug until I found root access option lol.

Do that plus the volume down. Was just messing with different combos.
Does anyone have a workaround for the proximity sensor issue while in calls? When a call is dialed and sent the screen turns off and you are unable to use the dial pad while in call. I believe it was also mentioned in the other thread.

Its possible that its not a rom issue. The proximity sensor on the S4 is known to foul easily from dust.
But it also cures easily by hitting it with compressed air into the speaker grill. Its certainly worth a try.
