[Q] I have a few questions about my new Optimus G Pro

I recently upgraded to the LG Optimus G Pro and I love it and all, but while I'm at work when I get messages, my phone does all sorts of crazy things in my pocket because the screen comes on. I was wondering if there was a setting that I was looking over that would stop it from doing that? I'm trying not to root it because I know the bare minimum about rooting phones, but I did root my Galaxy s2 Skyrocket with youtube tutorials.

What things is it doing? I have the flip case and that keeps it from coming on and such. I think there is a pocket mode in the setting(I could be wrong about this though) check in display section or even under notifications.

Or go into the offending app that's causing you trouble and turn notifications off.

I think there are a few others who have complained about this as well. I don't have a texting plan (I use Google Voice), so I haven't ever experienced this. However, if there aren't any options in the phone settings, there may be another way.
I seem to be on this Tasker kick lately, so when someone has a problem that is related to the phone sensors or events, I tend to think "how can I fix this with Tasker?!" . As a result, I have made an app really quick using Tasker and have even included the project XML if you want to fiddle with it on your own. It does NOT require root. However, it will need you to install another free app called "Secure Settings" and give it administrator rights in your phone settings. All that the app does is wait for an incoming message and checks to see if the proximity sensor detects something in front of it. If it does, it turns the screen off. However, like I said, I don't have a texting plan, so I haven't had a chance to really test it. The app interface is just an "ON/OFF" button and a "Close" button. If it doesn't work, just turn it off or uninstall it. It is set to "OFF" when it is first installed.
Alternatively, you can play around with it if you get Tasker. I think there is still a trial period you can get if you aren't sure if you want to buy it. Let me know if it works or if you have any other questions.
I named the xml file as a .zip just to upload to xda. Just rename the file without the ".zip" at the end and then you can edit and/or import to Tasker.

This is easily fixed, just change the lockscreen to anything other than swipe and the phone will no longer accidentally become unlocked in your pocket

Had the same issue. Do a search for it. Lots of threads. Maybe try Magiclocker or Widgetlocker instead of the LG home screen.

Use pin lock. Solved for me.

Okay I just realised that there is an emergency call button on the screen when you have either pin, password or pattern unlock set. If you just have swipe, there is no emergency call button. Maybe this will help?

Sooo my g pro comes this saturday and i was wondering if there were any tips or tricks you guys had?

Flow for Reddit - Reddit client

For those of you that are Redditors, this application is fairly new, and works phenomenally on the new N7. It has gestures which is what sets it apart to me. For example, on the main screen that lists the threads, swipe left to get to your subscribed subreddits and multireddits, account info, etc. Swipe right to filter and sort, etc. When you choose an option, you can swipe back left to the main thread, and swipe right to go to the comments.
I rarely ever recommend Reddit clients as there are so many, but this feels SO right on the N7.

Amazing. Thanks for the recommendation.

Yeah this one is the best by far. Wish it would hide those gory pics though .

On the right side of the post item where you can click the top half to get to the comments, you should see a video link on the bottom half of the right side of that item. Clicking that will open the video inside flow, and you can rotate to get the full screen view.

Ah I had it right but its not working

Is there a way to login that I'm not seeing?

Yep!
Swipe your finger from the left side of the screen in towards the middle, which should reveal the left drawer. There should be an option to login there. You can also access the settings menu, your subreddits, multireddits,and casual subreddits, and change the theme from there as well.
The same motion from the right side opens the options to filter and sort posts.

Great recommendation! Thanks

So far I'm liking the app, but how can I view my inbox/notifications?

This is nice, I'll see if I end up using this more than bacon reader. It's going to be hard to beat.

New firmware update for S6 Edge plus (side screen)

check in the settings of the side screen.
Looks like a minor update eh...

I don't get it?

Checked Galaxy Apps and the update was there. Didn't notice anything different. Maybe it fixed the night clock sync issue?

I noticed it was a bit quicker to scroll between people edge and app edge. I'm using the 928T
Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk

I'm not sure but I think it adds "check missed messages/call" from your favorite contacts. I don't use the edge screen that much so not sure if that was already a feature

Has anyone else been having this issue? After the update, their is information on the apps edge on how to use it and stuff when you swipe open the Edge tab and it won't go away. This message wasn't their before..or am i just blind and haven't noticed before lol. Verizon variant here.
Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

I noticed it also I hope they send a quick fix

This is a buggy update? Guess I'm not Gonna update this yet

The only change that I noticed so far is adding the setting button within the five contacts/apps

Sorry guys but Eric is the only one right. I think the only change is the flip speed between slides

[APP] VolumePie - Enhanced Volume Quick Settings

So one of the few things that bothered me about the OP6T was that when I adjust the volume, while it does let me quickly switch my audio output which is cool, the little hovering quick menu only shows me media volume and makes me go into the settings to change everything else.
This is where I stumbled on VolumePie, which is a non-root required volume slider replacement. I attached a few pictures so you can see what it looks like. The only thing that you "lose" is the ability to quick switch your audio output, but honestly I find the need to change my volumes independently more often than changing the audio output.
Here's the Play Store link. There's a pay version but I'm just using the free :]

Just an FYI. This app interferes with some texting apps. Textra specifically. It causes an issue where you don't have the option to add an attachment to a text.

Weird, I just tried Textra and have no issues adding attachments to text messages. I just sent one and it went though without issue.

Yeah that's really weird, I don't see what you see in my side. Perhaps that's a mixture of Swiftkey and VolumePie?
