Small display menu on top of my phone - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Ok guys I don't know what happened I was plugging my phone into my xbox to stream some movies and a small display popped up on top by the clock menu ect.
It shows P; 0/1 dx, dy, xy, xv, prs and size. all with numbers after them. I tried to restart it but it's still there. Any ideas of what went wrong?

Go to Settings -> Developer Options and make sure Pointer Location is unchecked. That should solve it!

Scroll using the ring

I'm really missing the scroll wheel from the mogul/6800. Is there a way to make the ring scroll in programs that don't have it mapped (like zooming in Opera)? I'd really like to use it to scroll through e-mail. I swear that I got it to scroll once in mail for a split second while the app was still loading, but promptly stopped scrolling once it finished loading.

I know I've seen somewhere (I think over @ ppcgeeks) that there was a way to set up custom apps to use the scroll ring in other applications. I'll look again and see if I can't find it.
you can enable scrolling with the sensor using advance config. At the bottom of the list there will be an option with 5 or 6 sub options
I believe DiamondTweaks also has an option for this

I just installed the file "Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3.cab" and I don't see any options for that in it...
Checking the other program mentioned shortly.

Yes it does. Nice app too.
Not as consistent as it should be but I am sure the developer will improve it steadily.
When I say this, I mean that u can scroll around but onceyou make a selection, you can't scroll within that selection.
In advanced config you have to add the programs that you want to scroll with manually. Open advanced config, go to menu, more settings, smarttouch, and add what ever program you like.
there are 2 programs. 1 is called gscroll and the other is called sensorscroll. gscroll is not free, but here is the link for sensor scroll: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466377
It does shut down on random, but allows you to scroll in manilla (fav contacts, programs, text message etc)

development screen settings

has anyone else found this screen and what to do with it, other than the obvious usb tabs. i having trouble with screen shot but if you tap the left bottom corner of the screen, the notifications window will come up, as you push in the usb cable to charge, this will expand and give you the standard usb notfication. if you press this notification, a settings screen will appear, evev after removal of usb cable.
hopefully screen shots will appear.
Wow I had no idea lol
Ok so if you install anycut you can make a direct link to the development settings so no need to play with a usb cable.
That token setting looks interesting but it just closes to home ill have to play with logcat later
anycut gives a lot of very interesting options... but though I made shortcuts I can't see them in any of my launchers. I have Launcher Pro, the Nook standard one and Zeam. No default... i rather like the options.
But some of the options given by Anycut are keyboard settings and CDMA/GPRS/Network settings.
Wow, has anyone tried that on a non-rooted nook?
That's the main difference to Anycut... of course we can get to these settings once we have rooted. But if this screen can be accessed via a standard nook, that hasn't been "nootered", we can just enable adb there. Whether adb then has root access (as with nooter) I don't know, but still it's a new and easier angle at getting access to the device.
I got it to show up this way:
(0. no USB connected)
1. press the left bottom corner ... this will show you the original android notification bar as popup
2. connect USB cable (to PC and device)
3. you usually can't do anything because of the USB-Mode popup, but since the notification bar has focus we can touch the icon that now appears there.
-> remove cable and you are on the screen shown in OP's post.

I just tried this on my un-rooted nook, and wasn't able to get the screen to appear.
The USB dialog he's referring to should only appear if you're rooted and ADB is enabled.
This potentially means, however, that the rest of the settings aren't actually removed from the nook, just hidden, and that there should be a way to access them somehow.
Ohhhh that would be nice..

Several options will be more functional if you harvest the "extra" apps installed on the nookcolor emulator that ships as part of the SDK.
Also, if you're curious about how to toggle this setting without the UI,
have a look at /data/property/persist.service.mount.umsauto
How do you actually get the card to mount in the future if you disable auto mounting of it?

[Q] Changing Browser User Agent in TouchWiz

I changed UAString to Desktop in debug mode but websites still load as mobile. Any idea how to do it properly?
Wish I knew, but I so far haven't heard anything about it in terms of a solution. Its one of the only things holding me back from flashing TouchWiz, because I know it would aggravate me way to much
I've tried using the stock browser apks from the xoom, transformer, galaxy tab 10.1 on the touchwiz rom and still nothing. I think I'm doing something wrong though.
Also, how about a fullscreen mode in the stock TouchWiz browser? I have found no way to do this like in all other browsers. The top bar is always showing I think.
And Jesus, no re-flow of text on pages to resize to fit when zoomed in right? F'in riduclous.
My problem is the opposite, I cannot get out of full screen mode. WTF!!!!!
Nevermind, I have some type of popup that occurs when I touch the right side of the bezel.
you can change the UA string the exact same way that you would in any other android phone.. just type "about:debug" into the address bar, then go into settings and select "debug" tab. It's the second setting.
@gdog1977, you have quick controls enabled in the "labs" tab of the settings. touch and hold either side of the screen until a menu pops up, move your finger to the very bottom icon(four horizontal lines), select "settings" in the popup, and then select the "labs" tab on the left. then de-select the "quick controls" option.

Yes most of us are quite well aware of the about:debug mode, but again the problem is not switching it to the desktop UA, it is getting that setting to actually stick after reboots, etc. Anybody have any other ideas??

[Q] LAG!!!

Hey guy, I am hoping someone can help me with this because it's starting to get really frustrating. My G3 is very laggy. When I am texting, it will freeze for a few moments and then catch up, sometimes missing some letters that I have typed so I have to redo it. It lags with playing games, or pressing the on-screen back button... there is a very noticeable lag.. is there any way to fix this at all?

There is no dial code for Sprint G3 as far as I know.
you have to use shortcut master in order to access the rest of the hidden menu settings such as Thermal dae

Under developer options you can select whether you want to use dalvik (ODEX) or ART (precompiled apps).
But: have you tried to remove new apps you had installed? Maybe they are causing your problem.

Settings/developer options; probably you don't have this menu item
Try to install osmonitor from market, and turn on "show cpu usage"
Just to check if nothing runs in the background.
Developer options menu is unlocked by doing the following...
Go to General tab (or section if you're not in tabbed mode)
Select 'About Phone'
Select 'Software information'
Tab 'Build number' (KVT49L.LS990ZV4) 7 times - you'll see a countdown pop-up after the first few taps
You have now unlocked Developer options menu under General tab (or section)
I ended up calling Sprint and had them reset the services and reactivate the phone. After this and updating PRL and Profile, it is running smooth as butter.

Screen off memo - I Can't...

I like the Screen off memo feature where I can pull out the S-pen and start writing notes without turning my phone on! But none of the icons at the top of the Screen off memo work. They are all grayed out, kinda. When I press them, nothing happens so I can't change the width of the pen or anything. I checked my settings and don't see anything different from my wife's Note8 and hers works perfectly fine.
Anyone know how to fix this? Below is a screenshot of my phone and here is a tutorial video from Samsung...

My note 5 had this feature. Love it to death
Try toggle the Screen Off memo option on/off...also maybe try it in Safe Mode to see if it works there.
I don't see that 3rd pin icon one mine.?
By the way...read what I wrote in red below, weird but interesting....

True, a lot of people say they don't see the PIN icon. I don't see it if I'm on a call and my screen off memo works fine. But if I'm off a call the PIN icon is there but the screen off memo icons at the top don't work. BUT in SAFE mode all works fine and the PIN icon shows up. So I think we all have 3rd party apps that is screwing with the Screen off memo feature one way or another.

Thanks for the reply! I called Samsung tech support and they asked me to do the same same thing but still no luck. Here are the steps they gave me...
Open Settings>Advanced features>S Pen
Toggle the buttons on/of for (Air view, Direct pen input, Pointer, Screen off memo).
This didn't work. Then they had me power off my phone. Wait 10 seconds, power it back on and while it's powering on, press and hold the volume down key until you see the home screen. This puts the phone in SAFE mode. It says SAFE MODE in the bottom left of the screen.
Sure enough, while in SAFE mode the icons at the top worked. So they said an app seems to be interfering with this feature...
BUT I found something out while doing this...
IF I'M ON A PHONE CALL, THE ICONS AT THE TOP OF SCREEN OFF MEMO WORK FINE BUT THERE IS NO PIN ICON. If I'm off the phone, the icons at the top don't work and there IS A PIN ICON. ????? So what's that about? If an app is causing screen off memo not to work correctly, why does it work when I'm on the phone?
Then I pointed out that whenever I restart my phone I get a window that pops up saying Touchwiz crashed do I want to restart it. Definitely have some bugs....
Last, the tech said I can go into my local Best Buy where they can reflash my phone to see if this gets it working again.

Hmm. Do you use AOD? Cause the PiN icon only appears if you use AOD right? Maybe toggle AOD off and see if it's the same issue.
Will, taking the phone to get flashed @ BB reset your phone? If so, I would just try a Factory Reset beforehand...and see if that resolves anything.

Good point, I turned off AOD and sure enough no PIN icon. But the other icons still don't work on my phone. I then turned on AOD and the PIN icon is there. Other icons still don't work.
So you just figured out why some people don't see the PIN icon. They must have AOD turned off. BUT why would the PIN icon disappear while I'm on a phone call and I have AOD turned on? Maybe that's just my phone?
Last, Samsung tech said reflashing won't delete any info on my phone so I'll confirm this with them before I do.

Cerberus App Interferes With Screen Off Memo!
The problem that was causing my screen off memo not to work correctly is the Cerberus app. Samsung in BestBuy fixed it!
After uninstalling a couple other apps that I thought it was I still had the issue but once I uninstalled this app which is an app that I like but I'll email the developer to let them know to see if they can fix why it's interfering with the screen off memo.
So I took my phone in to BestBuy and went to the Samsung kiosk and the guy fixed it in about 2 minutes. First he said he's concerned it's an app that is causing my issue with the screen off memo and then he told me which three of the apps he was concerned about and sure enough he was right. So he also optimized my battery and RAM by clearing the cache in the ram. At first we thought that is what did it but then the problem came back and I ended up uninstalling the three apps he thought it was and sure enough it was the Cerberus app.
Here's the reply email I just received from the Cerberus app dev...
"Hi Nick,
Sorry but the only way to implement the block status bar feature is to block touches on the top part of the screen when the device is locked. Unfortunately there is no way for Cerberus to realize that other apps are opened over the lock screen, such as the camera or Screen Off Memo."
One more thing, you can not pin memos if you use the edge clock
Hey guys, i found that there is a way to use the of screen memo with Cerberus status bar block. Basically the overlay that blocks that area does block most of the icons so they are unresponsive, BUT if you tap the very bottom of the icons you will find a small area that isn't blocked by the overlay. Just tap repeatedly in the lower area of the icons, it will definitely work. Once you know where to tap you won't have to tap repeatedly and you can keep that vital part of Cerberus security.?
Screen off memo pin option will on my written when to out have your Always in display turned on. If always on display is off, the option will not be available
