After a few months of use...
Notifications - opens every (ear listening) call, apparently my ear shape hits the top bar and the machine thinks I want to see notifications. Since the machine knows it's orientation - it there a way to prevent an ear-activated notification request when phone is vertical, or during a call?
Screen overlays - I bought some and added one, it got scratched and I peeled it off, and now I see at least 2 more! I think I see a glass that fills the frame, a smaller overlay, and another, smaller overlay. My basic thought is to keep peeling as they scratch. I want to make sure that if I get to 'glass' that I have not messed anything up - a decorative overlay (maybe with the browser size slider markings?) or a functional part of the touchscreen assembly. Is there anything I can mess up if I just keep peeling?
Thanks any and all!
Eep, I know know if I'd "keep peeling". If you feel like the screen itself is pulling back, I wouldn't do it. Resistive touchscreens do have 'layers' if you will...
Weird, in WinMo the prox sensor should work just fine - make sure it's enabled, the screen should turn off when your face gets close to the screen.
See this video for a demo.
Thanks for reply.
I'll look for cabs that may have affected the sensor (basically OEM update + a few goodies) as I can find no HTC/WinMo setting.
Were you saying you don't know if you'd... or now know?
Should there be a factory layer, exposed the user, that I should NOT peel off? ( I knew factory touchscreen at one time, they were soft overlays over CRT's.)

I have no idea, since I can't see what you're peeling. I've never completely disassembled one of these, but I've seen pics/videos. I also know a little bit about how touchscreens work (a little!) and I know there are layers that you should not be peeling back - without seeing a detailed pic or the device in person, I don't feel comfortable saying "yea, peel away" when you could be potentially damaging your phone.
OK - I removed all cabs, still not working, did reflash, same, did task 29 and reflashed, still not working.
Found something called 'Advanced Configuration', played with Light sensor settings, and now that works great, never knew it didn't before (auto did nothing).
Is there something similar for proximity settings? ( I would have thought a connector inside was loose - that's why I messed with light sensor - but that 'healed' and now I want to 'heal' Prox too!)
I peeled down to a full chrome-filling ?glass? layer that looks thick and just a bit wavy - still no Prox activity - and put a new screen saver on that - so that's not it.
Anyone know settings/cab/registry for Prox activity?
Still don't have proximity function... I'm thinking in call, object (ear) near HTC symbol should blank screen and also deny touch response.
I downloaded registry editor, and found some settings. Tried, well many combinations but no results.
I do find that some don't stay set - I change them, and reboot, and they go back to say "0". They are ProximityDetectStatus and ProximitySensorOn . I'm thinking (supposition) resistry settings are static - that they do not reflect machine activity, only editor or user's other software actually changing values to store - rather than indicators of current machine activty (button is now pressed, button is now un-pressed). Is my regedit process (change, close, boot) correct?
I'm left wondering - are registry settings reflective of current activity while regedit is open or even the moment it opened? IE, can I use regedit to show me if a switch is pressed?
Anyone else, help?
I'm on OE ROM, CHT and CHT editor
Gesture search is an amazing app. You really need to have it, you can find any contact of app by name, or setting menu.
The one problem at least on Galaxy S3 is the "double flip" gesture to launch the program.
It if very troublesome, and it loads the logcat system log with an error of
Code:
(643) inv_get_mag_rate
And it is logging the error every 20 ms...
So I can imagine it will eat up battery life, but you can disable "double flip" which is really a single flick.
If you want tips to using it, hold the phone in the plane of Earth magnetic field then get a 90 degree rotation
and it mostly senses the speed you flip it back. I've found looking at the screen (let's say right hand)
if you rotate CCW 30 degrees, then flip it works well. It does not like if the phone is parallel to the floor
then you try the flip.
Is there any way to launch it with a long press from the stock 4.0.4??

super annoying when I wanna go from keyboard to folded back mode... I don't see an option in the settings to configure this.
Damn I was going to write the same exact thing, I'm looking for a way to disable this as well. If the tab isnt locked (like when connected through samsung flow) then it's not that bad but if it could be prevented altogether I'd love that....
It defaults to slide mode making it VERY hard to type also randomly activates hold mute etc when on a call at very slight movements or goes to home screen in middle of using apps. Have looked for gestures in settings are disabled it is still almost unusable unless I take extreme care when using it, shake settings not found. Hitbox for keys is huge also way bigger than all other phones I have used making it nearly impossible to cleanly type when I can't use voice features. It stays updated too so that's not the problem. Manufacture please reply.
