Question Did you know about this double tap feature? - Google Pixel 6 Pro

If you enable QuickTap, in the settings app, you can tap the back of your phone to either open an app of your choice or preform a selected command. I am like mind blown right now.
This thread is a PSA for others like me.

Discovered it recently too, know that you can map it to any action/task you want by simply associating it with "Tasker secondary" as app so you can do whatever you want with it

It is cool.. when it works. lol. There have been multiple reports, myself included, that observes at times it just craps out. Then you have to go into settings, back out and it works again. Frustrating but I do believe there is a fix coming soon if it's not here already in the mid Nov update. Nonetheless, I saw this back in early November right before I got the device and then watched it again once I could follow along. It's a long YouTube video but the double tap is in there along with a bunch of other cool tweaks.

'Loading' screen for 3-5 seconds? - SOLVED!

Hi, there.
I'm on Vodafone in the UK and my new One X displays the message 'Loading' with the moving circle underneath every time I return to the homescreen or come out of a programme (for between 3 and 5 seconds.) I've only had the phone for a day and have arranged to have a replacement delivered on Monday, but I wondered whether anyone else has noticed this? It's obviously a dealbreaker but I can't see any other threads, so am I right to assume I just got a dodgy phone?
(I also have a yellow spot on the bottom left of the screen, so I'm not sorry to be getting a replacement.)
Thanks in advance!
The loading screen happens to almost all the OneX out there but if your planning to unlock bootloader then you can use SuperCharger script or one of the custom ROM which already has it. Otherwise you have to live with it.

Gosh, really? I mean this is just infuriating - every time I exit something, there is a reeeeally long pause before I can do anything else. Does that happen to all the phones? Every review I've read talks about how fast this phone is and I would have thought a three or four second hiatus before a new task can be started would have been mentioned somewhere within the torrent of praise I've read for the One X.
I've just come from a BlackBerry Bold which was much quicker and the iPhone doesn't pause like this - if the new phone has it, I'm going to have to rethink.
Is this something others are also experiencing?

It's been a common problem with Android that's why we have SuperCharger script. You'll be suprised how of them are using that script.
Solved!
I have solved this!
Go to Settings > Developer Options > Scroll down to Don't Keep Activities and UNCHECK it.

Doesnt that disable multi tasking?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I believe so. A quote from Android Developers website.
Immediately destroy activities
Tells the system to destroy an activity as soon as it is stopped (as if Android had to reclaim memory). This is very useful for testing the onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) / onCreate(android.os.Bundle) code path, which would otherwise be difficult to force. Choosing this option will probably reveal a number of problems in your application due to not saving state. For more information about saving an activity's state, see the Activities document.

app problem
For me the activity that restored normal time (instant) when going to the home screen was deleting apps I had installed today. I uninstalled Adidas MI coach app and boom, the loading circle wasn't there any more.

Probably, if you were to check it. The OP has indicated that he got around the problem by unchecking it. In which case there is no effect on multi-tasking. I don't think that is the default setting anyway's, so somehow the setting must have got set on the OP's phone.
Also not sure why it is being said that this loading time is common. It isn't! I have never seen it on my H1X and this would have raised a big concern over usability of the phone....

[R] Ventrilo for Jellybean?

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.

Motorola touchless control APK

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)

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.

I keep checking Android Police and Droid Life for info, but nothing yet. I see the card description in the settings menu has changed from show/hide, to watch face dependent.

I updated to the newest firmware on the watch yesterday. When I downloaded the Wear update today I noticed the watch reboot and figured it had crashed. Then I saw the note in the Wear app.
Installed it thanks for link.
But anyone can tell me what is the new change is " This update adds a 'Card preview' setting which can be set to "None" or "Watch face sets card preview."
I test it but do not see difference.

ok I figure what it is. And it is the setting I really need after recent OTA. After OTA on change is you can keep the notice card by swap down. It is nice but the problem is if you not aware income notice at first place after screen off the notice will automatically hide. Next time when you turn on screen you will not find any new notice unless you swap up. Or you will get old notice when new is coming.
It make me missing lot of notice. So if you setting as NONE, it will behavior like this, but setting another item, you get old way how notice show.
It is perfect now we can have choice for what we like.
Yep it rebooted mine too, and I was on the newest firmware. Wonder what its upto?
The watchface dependant preview is in preparation for the 2.0 update. The watchface API will allow developers to make a few settings, including how to display the preview cards (size, opacitiy, whether or not at all, etc)

There's no need for a tool, the watch face developers can set these in their watch faces. So Facer for example will either have a global setting or a per-face setting for these things.
Dedicated watch face apks will just set these based on what they want or also allow customization via some sort of interface I guess.
What is the new wear card that looks like a green wifi symbol? There is no text. The only option is open on phone, but does nothing. My phone wifi is turned off. Thanks!

Question Google Screen Call For OP9/9Pro

Hey there guys!
I just wanted to post this in case anybody out there wants to have Google Screen Call feature on their stock phone app.
It's pretty easy to be honest
Since the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro have the google phone apk built in, I had to look at a bunch of info to see how it could work but figured out that it's a lot easier than I thought.
Requirements needed:
-Rooted One Plus 9/ 9Pro
-Termux installed (Play Store)
- Busy Box module installed
-Magisk Hide Props module installed
-PrefEdit installed (Play Store)
1st Step:
Open Termux
Type
su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Grant root permission
Then Type
props
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you have enable Device Simulation then skip 2nd step (If not then continue)
2nd Step:
Type in "1" ( to edit device fingerprint)
Type "f" (to pick a certified fingerprint)
After that you are going to choose Google and type the number it corresponds to ( Mine was 7)
It will show you a bunch of phones.
Just find the Pixel 4 XL and type the number it corresponds to ( mine was 23)
In reality I don't think it matters which phone you use just make sure it was a pixel phone that has screen call built in.
It's going to be give you some options of which OS version you want
I chose android 11 just to be sure
Type
2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then it will ask you if you want to reboot
Type in "y" to finish the 2nd Step
3rd step:
Open Termux again and redo 1st step
once your on the page it should say "device Fingerprint (active)"
Type
2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The next page will show you a bunch of options that you can enable.
The ones you need to enable are-
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(DON'T enable "8") I accidentally enabled it and screen call didn't work
once it says it's finished Type in "y"
then it will reboot
4th Step:
Once your phone has booted up
you need to go to settings then apps and clear phone data and cache
then find Google Play services and clear data and cache
After that open the phone app and go to settings to see if screen call feature is there
If it isn't showing up then you'll need to use PrefEdit
Close the phone app (if you haven't already)
Open PrefEdit and find Phone
It should show you like 5 files
Choose dialer
Once there tap on "dialer_phenotype_flags.xml"
then search for "speak"
Find this code line
G_speak_easy_bypass_locale_check
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
tap on it and change it from false to true
then tap the save button
Now you're finished!!
Things to note once you go back to the phone app you'll need to be on Wifi to enable the feature.
If you have any questions just let me know and I'll help you out as best I can !
I will post ScreenShots of what to do if you need to see how yours should look like.
Outstanding guide ty!
Have this option already without any mods.
Very nice guide! Man, I'm super conflicted. I'd love to have the screen call feature, but I'm already using the OP dialer for call recording. No way to have the best of both worlds I guess.

I'm translating so I could be wrong but pretty sure that's "Caller-ID and Spam" which is the option you get when you don't have Call Screening. So you don't actually have Call Screening I believe.

Going to add to this, if it doesn't show up in your dialer settings, clear the cache from both your Phone app and from Google Play Services, then open the Phone app again, and wait a few minutes if you still don't see it. Once you do, toggle it and see if your basic phone functions are still working. Believe it or not, some people's microphones wouldn't work with this trick in effect.
And now a rant of sorts.
The problem with this process is that in doing such, you are tricking not only the Google Phone application into thinking you're running actual Pixel hardware, but everything else, too. So this opens a whole can of worms when it comes to things like software/OOS updates, kernels, Magisk modules, etc.
For example, Elemental Kernel refused to install on my OP 7T because it was identifying itself as a "Pixel 4a." And even then, while I did get call screening to work, briefly, having to revert the changes to update things, then redo the changes, and hope they stick again.... wasn't worth it for me to do all that. I just wish we could officially get their call screening technology on EVERY Google device. Or at least ones that can use the Google Dialer framework.
So be prepared for a lot of troubleshooting and frustration. You may have to ask yourself if this is worth it.
Ty so much for this. I finally had time to do it. But the weirdest thing happened it never showed the screen option or hold for me option. But like 9 hours later I used my phone and there it was setting up.
Is it possible to enable call recording with this method as well?
according to the link, call recording should be integrated in the dialer starting vom version v63:
OnePlus exploring adding automatic call recording support in India
OnePlus devices don't support automatic call recording, but this may change in future in India, at least according to a staff member.

So I've tried this a numerous amount of times with zero luck on firmware 11.2.4.4. does anyone have any ideas as to why it's not working for me?

Could you explain? Which part is failing? What isn't working? The call screen part? The dialer?
