Smartstay EX: Any good? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Has anyone tried the Smartstay EX app in the Play Store? It's supposed to make things work like on the GSIII where it will not shut off the screen while you are looking at it.

I just tried it. Seems to be working. It was kinda hit and miss at arms length but bringing in the device a little seemed to really help.
My settings are 2 lives and 2 second timeout.
As I'm typing this I noticed it failed several times. I upped the timeout to 5 second and seems to be working better.

ISeeYou does a great job aswell. You can uncheck the show notification box under the Apps settings if you don't want to see the icon on the taskbar. Works just fine without the icon aswell.

smartstay ex works just fine for me, however to make it less obtrusive you have to do extensive setting up for app exceptions. The app works by taking pictures of the front and analyzing them to see if it sees a face, and for my device i already have it set to have no shutter sound, but there is an option in the app to "disable shutter sound", however it just seems like it will try to play a silent clip, which means that when it tries to do a check, if you are playing music it will take away audio focus in order to play the silent clip.
For some games the face check will cause an interruption to the gameplay, in my case while playing asphalt 7 the check will act as if i hit the menu button.
I bought the pro version to check out, and uninstalled it a week after because i figure the apps where i want the screen to be constantly on already have options to keep screen awake, and with Viper4G theres a quicksetting to just keep the screen on so it was really not worth the hassle and headaches to do something i can accomplish in 3 clicks.

For my lazy peeps...

I don't know if its because of how big it is or how thin it is, but I feel like I'm going to drop it when typing and holding with one hand. Original Evo felt better.

The one thing that is absolutely bugging the crap out of me thus far is the notification volume...you can't adjust it separately from the ringtone volume...I dont like my notifications to be as loud as the ring tone personally....
Also I left mine on connected to wifi with screen off over night, and when I turned the screen on I showed the unit had turned off data connections, and once the screen turned on the wifi connection then turned on and connected and got all emails sent over night...
though there is no power settings menu like the 3D had, that ive seen so far...
I miss the search button and HATE that the back button is on the left side and I can't reach it while holding the phone in my right hand.

I agree with the notification/ringtone volume. Seperate volumes is a must. As far as your WiFi turning off, if you go into WiFi settings, hit the menu button in the top right, then advanced, and change the WiFi sleep policy to always on.
Can't wait to get CM9 on this thing.

I think the lack of a hardware Menu button was a catastrophic failure on HTC's part.
Most apps haven't caught up to the "ICS standards", and so on apps like GoLauncher EX, you have that gawd awful "Menu button bar" at the bottom, covering 1/10th of the screen.
I genuinely don't understand how they could prioritize a Task Manager button over the Menu button... :\ Especially seeing as how leaving the Home button pressed down used to perform the same function on the old Evo...

I agree it is very annoying but if the evo lte is a huge success (if sprint every gets the ball rolling) then app devs will be more likely to update to ics standards. If every phone just included a menu button (sIII for example) then they would have no reason to care and update it.

I find myself using the multi task button a lot.. the biggest problem im having getting used to is using the menu bar button instead of hitting home button on the phone
Eventually most if not all apps will be updated to play nice with ICS and include the menu button onscreen. They officially have 2 years starting now.

I think my biggest gripe right now is the font scaling. For things like the desktop widgets 4x4 takes the entire HUGE screen. I should be able to see enough of my daily calendar as well as something else without taking the entire screen....this is a 720p display after all.
I want a half-screen ubersocial widget where I can actually see 4 or so tweets

The buttons are super easy to press... I find it's really awkward when I'm holding the device and trying to text or something (especially with one hand) I almost always push some of the buttons on accident... maybe I just need time to adjust.
I also REALLY wish the power charging port was on the bottom of the device. I *hate* having it on the side, makes no sense.

Anyone noticed any screen tearing issues

I've only noticed this since about a week.
Its most prominent when I'm in text based apps - Pulse/Verge/Kindle - with a lot of white background.
To describe it - its like a 3mm thick 'glitch', appears for hardly a few milliseconds - just enough to be noticeable.
Its always along the length of the device, and does not matter what orientation I'm holding it in.
I felt it happened more often with auto-brightness but that feeling may just be a dud.
The recurrence is quite random, but I can easily see it if I stare at the screen for even a minute.
Finally I've never noticed it in games or on home screens - not sure if thats just because I miss it in those or otherwise..
I noticed this yesterday for the first time when reading some text. It was very distracting, hoping it was a fluke deal.
Seconding this. I don't have auto-brightness, but I notice it. Definitely happens when reading text with a white background - so get it pretty often in RSS readers, rarely in gmail, and never in games / movies.
Thanks for the replies..
I also noticed this never happens in gmail or currents. Looks like Google-supplied apps run fine...
This leads me to believe that these other apps are doing something wrong, maybe overflowing buffers due to the massive resolution as someone else projected in another thread...
Have you guys played with either the "Disable HW Overlays" or "Force GPU rendering" settings to see if they impact this issue one way or another?

I second this idea.. please try and report the results.
Since my last soft-reboot, I've yet to see ant tearing. However I'll try those options if I see it happening again. Thanks for the suggestions. Maybe some of the others seeing this can try those tweaks?
Happens to me no matter what app I'm running and has been happening since I got my nexus. Even just happened in the app drawer. I will check the force gpu settings and get back to you.

My Impression after 5 days

So I decided to write this little review to try talk about/point out/explain certain things that I thought other major reviewers (Engadget, The Verge, etc) didn't mention or didn't explain well enough, as well as things I do and don't like about the phone. (Don't let the Great Wall of Text scare you) Here goes!
The first thing I have to point out is how well this phone feels in your hand. I never want to put it down. Ever. That cold aluminum body feels amazing when you pick up the One and really drives home the flagship status of this phone. While this is great, I am terrified of dropping this phone. It feels like it would scratch very easily on a rough surface (I have yet to see a scratch, but I have been babying it until my case arrives). The aluminum feels very similar to the Macbook Pro case. While a lot of people are complaining about the false "zero gap" manufacturing, it virtually is zero gap. I have the slightest of space between the top aluminum strip on the front and the white band circumventing the phone. I would be hard pressed to fit even an eyelash in this gap, however. So far all intents and purposes, I think we can call it zero gap Anything larger than this, and I would consider returning it or waiting a few weeks for HTC to iron out the issue. Just ask to see the phone they give you before buying it and you can avoid this problem all together.
Sense 5 is a welcome upgrade and I don't miss CM 10.1 as much as I thought I would. My most missed feature is quick reply from the notification shade, but I'm living without it. This software flies through animations, opening apps, responding to input, scrolling, everything. Slick as oil. And the aesthetics of Sense 5 aren't too bad either. Not everything is rosy perfect though. Adding apps from the drawer to the homescreen is annoying. You have to tap and hold the app as you normally would. But then instead of transitioning to the home screen automatically so you can place the app somewhere, you have to first drag it all the way to the top left where it says "shortcut" and then it transitions to your homescreens. Gets old when you're setting up your home screen. Also, let's say you open an app by searching for it in your app drawer (not from the home screen). If you exit that app by hitting the home button, it does not send you home. Rather it sends you back to the notification drawer with all your apps. That's annoying. Pressing the back button also does not send you out of the notification drawer and to your homescreen like it normally does. You must hit home once again to enter your homescreen.
At first, I thought blink feed was gimicky. Just some marketing technique to set HTC apart in the consumer's mind. But after playing around with it, it has grown on me. The selection of news sources is small, but hopefully that will grow or allow you to add your own custom websites. I do find myself occasionally scrolling through it when waiting in line, the drive thru, waiting for someone, etc. Which was the original purpose anyway. I have not noticed a hit on battery life from this feature.
An annoying feature of the gallery is that in throws in all your Facebook Friend's photo albums into your gallery. Yes you read correctly. Jimmy Bob's recent Everglades field trip WILL show up in your gallery as well as other friend's albums. So far I have not figured out a way to remove this besides unlinking my phone from my facebook account (aka logging out of the app). While your photos have their own area/folder apart from these Facebook albums, it's still annoying to see the faces of people I never talk to in my own gallery.
Now onto the camera. There is definitely some truth behind the "UltraPixel" marketing. Compared to an iPhone 5 and Note 2, the One most definitely takes better pictures in low light settings. Even in extremely dark settings (night time with some light filtering in through closed blinds), the One is able to make out rough pictures, something the iPhone and Note 2 could not do at all. While the One is able to take pictures in very low light, this does not mean the pictures come out amazing or noiseless. Don't expect to just run out into the pitch black night and be able to photograph anything. In very low light settings, the pictures are still grainy and sometimes crappy. But most definitely better than the two phones mentioned already. All these comparisons were done with the flash off. Even with the flash on, the One still managed better photos in my opinion. They looked more natural and less like the came from a camera phone. Slightly lower than ideal lighting is where the One is able to shine. The other phone's flashes sometimes washed out or harshly lit up the scene while the One didn't even use the flash and took a great photo. Can't wait to use it more.
Zoes are pretty cool, another feature I initially thought was gimicky. The short clips appear as normal photos in your gallery, but then begin to randomly play like the photos in a Harry Potter movie. Looks pretty cool in person. A feature I haven't been able to try out is the "Event" categorizing of my photos. Basically the phone looks at the time and location where you took pictures, and tries to group them into "events". Think of these as different albums in your gallery. When you open an event, at the top there will be a highlights reel: basically a slideshow of your photos, zoes and perhaps videos (not 100% sure about the videos). It adds music, transitions, Instagram-esque filters and automatically starts playing. Watching your whole photo gallery come to life is pretty cool.
Other tid bits: there's a permanent power saver notification in your notification dropdown. Always there no matter what. There's an app that lets you remove it if you're rooted however (the app is somewhere in these forums). The front facing camera is a big upgrade from the HOXL one. Did I mention how amazing this phone feels? Finally, 32GB on an HTC flagship. 24.4GB available to you. Although the camera lens is slightly slightly slightly recessed, I still feel it can get scratched.
In the end, this is definitely the best Android phone I have handled and used (yes, including the S4 yes I said it). And I used to work in Best Buy Mobile until very recently, so I have handled my fair share of smartphones. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone and everyone.
Well this turned out a lot longer than I anticipated. Hope this shines some light on the One from the perspective of an everyday owner. Let me know if you have any questions!
TL;DR. Read it! This took [email protected]#$ing forever to type.
Congrats on getting away from Best Buy!
are we going to have one of these at 15 days 30 days etc etc ?
Great review! I would like to point out though that you can get rid of the power saver notification by long pressing it, going to app info, and force stopping it. It reappears when your battery gets low since it automatically turns on, but you can avoid looking at it most of the day!

Excellent review. I've had it 4 days and I guess I haven't opened my gallery since linking my Facebook account, cause that annoyance was new to me... Thanks for pointing it out!
One other thing that I feel isn't getting the attention it deserves is the addition of IR. I haven't had IR in a smartphone since my Treo, and I missed it. The first thing I did when I got my One was setup all my TV's/Receivers to be controlled by my phone.

Thanks for this tidbit.. It would be nice if the "show notifications" option allowed you to select/deselect...
The chassis is zero gap. the speaker covers are add-ons to the chassis.
To add apps, widgets and shortcuts to your screens long press any blank area for your home screens and the popup will allow you to select said icons to which ever screen you want by highlighting it with a tap 1st. It will put the icon in the first available space starting from the top left but you can then move it.
I haven't setup Facebook yet but I have read there is a setting in the gallery to un-check this option. *Edit* My bad. The only way to stop pic syncing from Facebook is by not allowing Facebook to sync in the 1st place. Not an ideal solution but all there is atm.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197998
Lastly, with pics/camera. Set sharpness to -1 and there will be much less post processing. (Credit hamdir) I think you'll like the pics even more!
Hope this helps.
Thanks!! it was helpful.
Yeah I haven't had a chance to test out the IR but I've heard its pretty cool. But it may not work on cases that cover the button and I wish they allowed you to hit "hide notifications" it almost looks like they went our of their way to block that setting lol
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
If you long press on the 'Power Saver' notification and go to App Info, you can force close that app. Then the notification will no longer be there. Each time the phone reboots, you'll see it and need to do it again, but I did it once and haven't had to reboot for any reason. Notification Gone!

[Q] Air View hover and swipe gestures not working

Hi all. Just the other day I finally made the leap from my venerable Motorola Droid X2 to the Samsung Galaxy S4. While I have yet to root it, I was hoping someone could explain how I could get the air view hovering and swipe gestures to work. I've triple checked things are turned on, watch several youtube videos and nada. Is it a problem w/the VZW build, a feature issue in general or am I just an idiot? It's very possible it's me! Lol. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Now I don't know if any of these could affect it, but I am running Nova Launcher, Unity Launcher and Swiftkey. Not rooted and everything else is pretty much factory stock. I did try returning to the stock launcher and disabling Unity Launcher and there was no change.
Oh and BTW, I'm getting about 12hrs of battery, is that normal for this phone? I could go all day on my X2 so that's a bit of a letdown but otherwise this thing rocks!
No issue here...toggle on...in the settings there is a sub menu for air gestures and all the other ones.

I heard the air view hover feature only works in some apps. Where are you using it that it is working. I'll go through settings again to make sure I didn't miss something. Thanks.
Yea it only work w/stock apps like stock gallery and stock browser.im having non problems here yea sometimes it doesnt work but alot of times it does. I only use stock launcher and I get up to around 20hrs from full battery to 5%
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Ok, so we're going to go with the I'm an Idiot option... While I thought I had these features turned on apparently I didn't dig down deeply enough into the sub-menus. I have it more or less working now. One thing I found is while the hover-preview works in text messaging, the top one is not responsive, but all others from the 2nd spot down to the bottom of the screen are. In email I don't have that issue though. Too bad it doesn't work w/gmail.
Yea it would be tight if it did lol
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Ok, this is weird, so the hovering in text mesaaging is not an issue with the top conversation. For some reason it won't display comments from certain people regardless of thier onscreen position.
WAIT - figured it out - if the text message is small enough and already fits in the 1-line preview below the sender then the hover bubble does not pop up but if the message is greater than 1 line THEN it works - ok that makes sense.
So now that I have these features working, I just need to figure out how to improve battery. I'm going to install some battery monitors to see what the culprit(s) are that are sucking it dry and take it from there. I guess after that rooting it will be my next step.

G2 Bugs/Problems/Issues Thread *VIDEOS INSIDE*

so i figured starting a general thread for bugs and issues would be a better idea to consolidate everything into one thread!
I've got the Verizon G2, so it would be interesting to see if other carriers have the same issue. These are all, for the most part, software issues.
for me, its:
1.) Launcher Redraw.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpn-hZnEPqg (ending shows homescreen launcher lag too)
I've posted a video yesterday, and will be posting another today showing how after almost every app, the launcher is redrawing, and therefore causes lag if you goto switch screens after hitting home. doesn't always do it, but does for the majority of the time. it does it enough that it warranted me rooting the phone to try to fix it, so I'm going to give v6 supercharger a go soon and do the bulletproof launcher. I'm apprehensive though because we don't have recovery to make a nandroid...
2.) *solved*Lag on notification drop down on lock screen
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLWUXOu68d8
did you set your wallpaper to non scrolling? if you didn't know you can do this, you can. if you goto gallery and select a custom wallpaper, at the top it gives the option of non scroll or scroll, which is awesome. however, beware.. when you do non scroll, for some weird reason your notification drop down will lag in the home screen. setting it back to scrolling wallpaper alleviates this. very weird
3.) Audio during video recording.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU6Sp5V5Hv0 (also shown is the "breathing" auto focus we all experience.)
The audio during video recording uses noise cancelling mics, which can be good as we've seen in other flagship phones. however, on the g2, they sound identical to the htc rezound from 2011. that phone had really bad wishy washy underwater sounding audio when the source was remotely loud. the g2 does the same thing sadly. other phones, such as the htc dna (shows that htc learned their lesson..) and the gs3/gs4 do not have this issue.. hell, even the galaxy nexus didn't.
I'm hoping that once we get developers on it, they'll make a modified camera that can allow for either the reduction in gain from the microphones, or to be able to cancel the noise cancellation to stop the underwater sound. on the rezound, htc somewhat fixed it with the ics update. here's hoping LG will do the same.
4.) Speaker has built in limiter/compression.
this is most annoying because i like listening to music on the speaker. sounds good but the thing is its being compressed and limited at a certain level, so you don't actually hear the best quality of the song. for example if the drums get really loud, it compresses and limits them down to your volume level, which takes away intensity of the song and just doesn't make it sound even. hoping to find a setting to turn this off...
5.) screen brightness changes with Auto brightness off depending on what's on the screen.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slwkFhpiYbs&feature=youtu.be
this is that content adaptive brightness crap that they forced on the phone. it changes based on more whites or more blacks on the screen, then dims and brightens accordingly. it's incredibly annoying and there's currently no way to turn it off. in titanium i found an app called content adaptive back light and then i removed it.. it still does it.
what issues are you having with it?
Sent from my LG G2 using Tapatalk 4
my wallpaper doesn't scroll and when I pull the notification bar down I don't have any lag.
I'm gonna post the video when i get home from work. it does it every single time I have non scrolling on the stock launcher, and once I switch to scrolling, it's smooth again. remember, this is on the lockscreen.

Yes this is unfortunate and unreliable. I wonder if an update can fix this. They may worried about it being too sensitve.
On another matter, my Verizon version is prone to turning on the camera or note pad when in my pocket via the rear buttons. Even prone to turning on the phone when sitting on a table off because of the sensitivity of the rear buttons. Not sure if it is just the verizon model or both.

Your pic shows status bar shaded darker. I see truly transparent on stock wallpaper. There is a slight shading on bottom soft keys, but otherwise transparent.
Another thing I see -- transparent forces soft keys to be white regardless of what you select.
I got intermittent distortion with my Icon HD bluetooth headset during calls. Doesnt matter if the phone is in my pocket or just sitting on a desk next to me. This didnt happen with any of my previous phones (S4, One, Nexus)
Lock Screen Camera App Image?
Is this supposed to happen? If I start a swipe to unlock, the camera app image goes away, but then comes back...
Is this a shortcut to the camera? Usually if I swipe from an app on the bottom that is my shortcut.
yeah man swipe to the left to bring up camera like on stock android.

Where is that located?!?!?!?!? I keep seeing the an icon on the task bar that is a box with an eye in the corner and generally the brightness changes when it comes on, but I can't find any info on the icon. I think it might be that, not sure.
The issue I notice is when I get a text and click on it to go to the convo about 25% of the time it goes to the top of the thread and not the bottom where the most recent text is.....

I appreciate the reply but please check out a quick video I made. It seems like the camera is getting "trapped" on the screen after loading it, then the normal shortcut way doesn't work.

Where is that located?!?!?!?!? I keep seeing the an icon on the task bar that is a box with an eye in the corner and generally the brightness changes when it comes on, but I can't find any info on the icon. I think it might be that, not sure.
The issue I notice is when I get a text and click on it to go to the convo about 25% of the time it goes to the top of the thread and not the bottom where the most recent text is.....

I found it in nova launcher gesture setting under aactivities. I also changed the screen mode. Which is similar to Samsung screen mode. Changed minds to natural

- Knock knock works 70-80% on the 1st try. Being a huge selling point of this device and something I use ALL the time I would like this to work 100%

Agree with this. Knock off works 100% of the time for me. Knock on not so much.

get quick shortcut maker and type in content adaptive.. and it'll come up. make a shortcut open the app, and turn it off.. tell me if you notice. because I turned it off, and it STILL did the annoying brightness change. then I deleted the app in titanium and it still does it anyway.
