Interesting "Three Dots" Alternative That Never Made It

I happened to see a vid posted online comparing a prototype AT&T XL to the One X. It's got a different approach to the settings dots than what ended up implemented. It's an overlay that doesn't reduce the available size of the screen. I get that you hit the down arrow to hide it. But how would get get it to redisplay? I guess we'll never know.

There's also a really stupid feature on the One X. You can set the off button to hang up on calls (I liked it on the SGS2). When you're on the phone the screen blanks to save battery. So with a blank screen and no physical or active buttons, the only button that functions is the on/off switch. In other words, once the screen goes blank it has to stay that way until you hang up the call. Interesting feature.

The phone uses the proximity sensor, when you place it close to your ear the screen blanks, when you take it away the screen turns on again. You don't need the power button.

That arrow to pulls 3 dots bar down comes on 1.19 software. I had it before but I updated to 1.26 and it was gone

Not on BT. That's the way I was using it when I found the problem. Good point though.

After you arrowed it down, how were you able to get it to redisplay?

By holding down the recent apps button. I also had it in 1.19 but then it was removed when i updated to 1.28

[Q] Alarm notification in top bar

Hi,
I use the standard alarm on my Galaxy S3 to wake me up in the morning.
When it goes off I usually just press a button on the side to turn it off. Since a few days, after I've done this there is a notification in the top bar, and a message when I swipe it down. (see screenshot below ) The message reads (mine is in Dutch): "Alarm - You can stop alarms or put them in hiberna.." where I suppose the rest would be "...te by going into settings.." or something.
The annoying thing is this message is a permanent notification and it isn't possible to swipe the message away or I haven't found a way to turn it off. The only way is to reboot the device. Not too much trouble, but kinda trivial to have to do this every day just to get rid of a notification
The phone just recently started doing this, so I'm guessing it came in with a recent update or something.
Any help would be appreciated!
Dries

Long press the notification, then press App Info. Uncheck the Show Notifications box.

Thank you for the reply!
It won't let me uncheck the box, but you did gave me a way to get rid of the notification; as I can "force close" the app. I then have to remember to start it back up, otherwise I won't wake up on time the next day
If there's any more help, I'd be glad to hear it!

I honestly think the best solution is to find a better app. I'd recommend Alarm Clock Plus. There's a free version you can try.

I just installed it. Thanks for the help!

I've never seen this one before.
I would clear data for it and see if it continues, but it looks like you installed another alarm app. I personally am using Timely now. I like the compatibility between TW and AOSP ROMs, the syncing feature, etc.
I would freeze the stock clock app if you're not using it anymore. Wakelocks you don't need.

screen on with text message

Hey guys I've made the jump from the s4 to the g3 and gotta say so far I'm loving it's an awesome device, one thing that I miss from the s4 though is the lock screen turning on every time I got a text message, is their anyway to do this with with the g3? while I'm at work I turn the phone notification sound to silent so I'm not constantly hearing it go off instead I would just look over and see the screen go on, if I could get that working on my g3 then it would be perfect thanks for any help

I use the app Nils Lock Screen Notifications ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget) to get lock screen notifications and to turn my screen on when a notification is received (so long as the phone isn't covered).

Confused
Hello, I recently purchased the G3 as well except I am having the opposite problem as you. Out of the box my phone does turn on the screen when i receive a text message and I wish to disable this but cannot find an option to do so. You say yours wasn't doing this at all out of the box? I feel as though i have poured through every settings option and can't disable this.

Have you tried messing with these settings?

Hi! Is this a common problem? I don't know what to call this, but there remains a hazy circle after I last touch the area. It disappears after a few seconds but it reappears whenever I tap on that part of the screen.

Are you referring to the Google search bar? Mine does that from time to time, I thought it was trying to inform me to use it since I never touch it.
Or are you referring to a white dot when you touch anywhere on the screen? That's enabled in Developer Options.

I'm referring to the white dot that appears whenever I touch the screen. I know it's enabled but there are times where the dot stays there for too long.

That should be "Developer Options/Show Touches. Turn that off if you don't want that occurring. I'm on stock, rooted and don't have any after effects when I touch my display.

What is this icon on the status bar?

Running stock HTC Android 8.0. It's a circle with four little lines off the sides. Top, bottom, and left / right. (kinda looks like a rifle scope reticle) It also has a diagonal line through it. Any ideas?
I tried uploading a screenshot, but kept getting a network error message.

Probably pretty tough without ss.
Use chrome and go to xda and upload the ss.
I use chrome strickly for xda, never had issue uploading

Sounds like the location reticle.
Some devices don't show it, some do.
Depends on your device model/network carrier, whether system UI shows it or not.
Here's an older example in the status bar:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
