Did I Just Discover A Way to Wake the Screen? - HTC Droid DNA

When my phone is locked and the screen is off if you swipe left to right on the bottom of the phone (menu buttons) it will bring your screen
out of sleep. Concurrently, if you swipe right to left, it will put your phone back to sleep. Anyone else?

That's a feature of dsb's kernel. And your username is gross btw.

nope..doesn't work here.

Thanks for the part about the kernel. The other part, where you offered your opinion that nobody asked for, keep it to yourself.
An apple a day is great, if you're starving to death.

Dude, it was a joke, chill out.

I fully expect my username to be a conversation piece. What I also expect is for people to be a little bit grown up about it. But it's my fault. I should have looked around and saw what kind of company I was in

Can we get back on topic: saggyballs discovered on the wake screen.

So, let's review.
You make an account with the username SaggyBalls.
You call people immature for commenting on how weird it sounds.
Because it's perfectly mature to make that kind of name.
And also, in the PROFESSIONAL world, people would find that to be normal and a "conversation piece."

Last time I checked having saggy balls wasn't anything to be proud of ... :banghead:

brb, changing username to WtrMelonBalls to stimulate intelligent conversation...
and I'm stock right now...but a feature like that sounds nifty
EDIT: sorry robertmoore, didn't mean to quote you. I'm not busting your balls

yeah must be a custom kernel thing. doesnt work on stock

It's in both custom kernels I believe. Sweeping in the opposite direction should put the phone to sleep

drunk texting blocker app wanted

Hey all,
I heard there is an app that you can select contacts that you do not want to text when your'e drunk. Then when you try to text them you have to solve a mathematical question or some kind of question...
I found the title for it for iphone a while ago (forgot now), but I want the android version for it.
Anybody knows the title for it?
Cheers
Dude, seriously, who the **** uses their phone when they're drunk? I love when people say "I got drunk and wiped my phone" or stuff like that. Ridiculous. Just put a complicated ****ing password on your phone before you go out drinking. Done.

If you're rooted, use CyanogenMod 7...it has "Phone Goggles" which restricts outgoing text messages and calls after a certain time and yeah you need some complicated stuff to prove you're sober before you can call and stuff.

Then you clearly did not go out when you were in college in a city with 40000 students going out. (And even outside that, how hard is it to imagine texting people in what bar they are, or to imagine texting a person you like/hate faster when you drank a couple?)
But this discussion is beyond the scope of this thread, each entitled to their own opinion and habits.

Hmmm........
Not too long ago I had a drunken brainwave on how to fix something which involved wiping something from mounts and storage in recovery, I knew I should have waited till morning but I felt invincible.
Ended up formatting my sd so Yeh it does happen its just a good job I know what I'm doing when sober, all the important stuff is always backed up contacts music photos etc, took me about 3 hours to get if back up to scratch.

Personal Question?

This thread is not about Photon, It is about me and I need some serious help. From my post here, most of you know me. Single, live in great upscale neighborhood, cool job. I don't do drugs, drink some. I walk around crib in boxers, scratch myself, fart, leave the toliet seat up, I'm me.
Was at local bar Monday and a local lesbian (she is cool) asked me if I knew someone that had a room for rent. I don't. She told me about lesbian friend that needed a room. Sorry, no clue. Why cant she stay with you I asked. She is still living with Ex. She asked about my crib! I told her (and seriously) I really don't play well with others! I have my TV's, Pool Table, 3 Computers (don't ask!) Actually 4 computers with job.................No, I cannot live with anyone.
THEN, I met said lesbian. On a scale of 1 to 10, she is the square root of 1Tb devided by 69 plus 10 to the square of 2!!!!!!!!!!!! If you google Ice-T and Coco, she is Coco with Black hair and light blue eyes that will melt mear mortal men. 5'11", Soft spoken, laid back. Told me she is quite and just needs a few months as she just moved back from West Coast. After I dropped $75.00 on food and drinks, I told her I would think about it. To be honest, she can have my crib and my check, I cannot get her off my mind!!
And you really want to know how bad it is, I came to work today and left Photon at home!!
Now she is staying with friends in the hood (My brother lives that way and I don't visit him!) on one hand, I want to help. On the other hand, I'm a man and.......I dont know. I'm going to lunch!
Sally! She probably needs to know stuff up front. Boxers, etc.
Personally I wouldn't. I am not a trusting person, especially with all of your loot scattered around the house.

WHAT????
OMG did ya rub Aladdins lamp & forget what ya asked for last time you was drunk..Cmon!! Thats like the best situation any single bachelor would want, Make her leave a deposit if ya worried...
Well now that I have eaten, I decided i am NOT going to give her my spare room. Nothing good can come from it. First time I see her come out of shower it's over. I'm a dog. My ex-wife will tell you that. My mother will tell you that. He** even my Doctor will tell you that as he gives me Rx for my peepee!!! (I gotta get picture of me and the Lesibans?)
Actually, this entire mess is the Photons fault!!! The original lesiban also has OtterBox and started asking me phone questions. Then she wanted to know what Hennessy taste like. Then bumming smokes..............I need to meet a stright chick!!!
True, it is a recipe for disaster.
What happens when work sends you away again? You come to an empty house. You don't exactly have the worlds best track record with women, according to your posts. You'll move her in, next thing you know you're paying for her cell minutes, clothes, car, nose candy, etc.

I have pretty much made up my mind it 100% no. This is a mess waiting to happen and I have no way to win.
From my understanding, what she is paying in the hood she could never make it 1/2 way to my neighborhood.
2. Unless you have 725 Credit Score and $100K renters insurance your not coming to my hood. Next, you have to physically go to UGI and PP&L and get the utilities in YOUR Name before they will give you keys. Which is why she is looking for the roommate deal.
3. What happens if I get some a**, what do I do with her? (Or do I have to fight the lesibin?)
Anyway, its a no win situation where I will get f**ked, in a bad way, if I let her, or anyone else, stay with me!

I'm working on it! I went to happy hour last night and did not see either of them. She lives 15 miles away from here. The only reason she got over here the other day and the other chick was showing her around.
just convert her do the darkside and then ull be fine. some girls dont know what they want, they switch back and forth many times.

Well this is my last post here:(

Well to make a long story short. I shifted my jeep an my phone in the ottervox was on my dash. I had the doors an tip off an bam my phone goes flying by me. I hurried up an pulled around unto a park an ran out on us12 ( a main highway in my town) . The screen was on an I could see my phone unharmed. I was so happy that my otterbox protected it. There ewere cars comin so I waited just as I see a truck switch lanes an run over my phone. I ran out to it pissed off an I see. The screen shattered an dead pixels on the bottom. My otterbox was smashed to pieces an I inspected my phone. The touch still works but the left half of the screen is black. An I can't read the bottom half of my phone. I'm makin a claim an they are sendin me a s2. So I won't be here much longer. I liked this phone too. I'll post pictures later. Just wanted to say my farewells to this forum. See yah later guys!

I'll answer your question with a question.
Why do people start useless farewell threads?
Farewell threads are troll bait and really are not needed. I'm not a fan of them if you can't tell. I'll leave this open for the time being, but you can expect it to close at some point (because undoubtedly the trolls will come).
And side note, too bad they gave you a Crapsung device, If my only option was an iPhone or a Samsung, I'd take the iPhone and I hate Apple with such a passion that every time I even see an apple in the grocery store I want to blow the place up, but I hate Samsung even more, they make crap phones. I've owned a couple Samsung phones and they've all been total feces, wouldn't work half the time and the other half they locked up.

(Q) amoled screen black spots, and how fast the screen degrades

Alright, I know if I search, I can find hundreds of articles about how this happens on amoled screens. I am not trying to beat a dead horse, but this will be my first amoled screen. How bad are the black spots? At what point is it bad enough to get a replacement? Being a "power user"(5 hours screen on a day), will the screen degrade before a 2 year contract is up? I jumped on a Rezound when it first came out, and it has burned me, I just don't want to feel let down because my screen went to pot 6 months in. Thanks

Sorry you don't like the answers but here we try again. Every single one of them will have it. Never seen an AMOLED screen that doesn't. Second you could get one worse or get one better. Pure gambling. Also, it doesn't get worse over time.
Apparently all this looking around and searching you didn't bother to read what you found.

Huh? I've called with my old DROID and got a replacement because the colors were messed up on the screen slightly.
Also I got a replacement before because the headphone jack had some static.
Never had an issue. They also cover water, physical and and if it gets stolen so yeah... Not encouraging anything but it is really easy to get a replacement.

What he's saying is for a screen defect the warranty would cover it. So there's no need to pay for insurance.

Thanks for the responses, except for the douche response from no sympathy. If you dont like stupid questions, dont respond with stupid answers, just skip it. Glad you were able to rage anonymously at a stranger. I asked because i have read that after 1000 hours, the screen degrades. If you do the math, that means the screen starts going out in 7 months. Since this is my first screen that is a amoled, i wanted someone with experience with them. I was asking for personal experience, and it was helpful. Thanks guys.

That's weird. My xda app is showing the same avatar for you and the other guy but it is different on the computer. I went off of that. Sorry! Lol. Fooled by the xda app. Thought you were just posting twice because you didn't like my answer before since these threads are so close and your post in this one mimics what I told the other guy too do.
I generally do have a bad attitude on here. Mostly because when I first joined this site people actually read first and read second and read third before doing things. Now people just either post questions without reading or post issues because they didn't read first. I generally give the person crap but still answer their questions. Could be worse and I could just be a jerk.
Also I don't think I ever made ROMs for the incredible?! If I did go me for doing something I didn't know I did! Haha. I've only released two ROMs and they were for the GSIII back when it first came out and no one could figure out how to deodexe them correctly and I decided I was going to learn how to dev and do it myself. That also led me to get a shorter fuse as if I could teach myself as much as I did, then why should everyone else always get a free ride and just be handed answers.
I also am man enough to admit that I got you mixed up with someone else here. Still doesn't mean you should have resulted in calling me names as to be fair we really didn't need a second thread with this as you could have asked your question in the other thread first.

Just thought I'd put this out there. You WILL get AMOLED burn out just by using the phone. The second the display goes on for the first time the organic substrate is already starting to decay, it's just the way it is.
The catch is how long before you start seeing burned in app drawer rings and notification bars all over grey/white images. I'd expect if you use the phone for hours a day with the brightness up pretty high you could start seeing the burn outs in less than 6 months. They claim something like 15,000 hours of lifetime for the blue pixels, which have it the worst of the 3 colors, but people report seeing them in less than 500 hours. Brightness definitely has a huge impact as running with max brightness will result in much faster burn out.
Does it really matter though is another question. Before anyone flames my post and the information I provided as saying "well you're gonna get a new phone in less than a year anyway" just know that not everyone does that. Some people like to ride out their phones until they really feel it's time to get a new one. With this device I'd anticipate people riding it for at least 3 years and being very satisfied even at the end of the third year, with the performance. That means for those people holding onto this device they should be aware of ways to minimize burn out so they don't end up with eyesores 12 months into ownership.
As for the black spots, yep. Every single AMOLED device I've ever owned (around 4) they've all had it. Very disappointed that my Note 2 has them. Not all of them do but I wouldn't be able to tell you the odds of finding one without the splotches. Just know that I can certifiably say I know what to look for when searching for these spots and my brother's Note 2 100% does not have them. At all. Yeah, I am jelly.
So if you want to play the return/exchange game trying to get a display without the splotches good luck to you. Me personally? My display has 0 dead/stuck pixels. This to me is worth far more than a display with no spots but dead/stuck pixels. And that is my 2 pennies.

That's weird. My xda app is showing the same avatar for you and the other guy but it is different on the computer. I went off of that. Sorry! Lol. Fooled by the xda app. Thought you were just posting twice because you didn't like my answer before since these threads are so close and your post in this one mimics what I told the other guy too do.
I generally do have a bad attitude on here. Mostly because when I first joined this site people actually read first and read second and read third before doing things. Now people just either post questions without reading or post issues because they didn't read first. I generally give the person crap but still answer their questions. Could be worse and I could just be a jerk.
Also I don't think I ever made ROMs for the incredible?! If I did go me for doing something I didn't know I did! Haha. I've only released two ROMs and they were for the GSIII back when it first came out and no one could figure out how to deodexe them correctly and I decided I was going to learn how to dev and do it myself. That also led me to get a shorter fuse as if I could teach myself as much as I did, then why should everyone else always get a free ride and just be handed answers.
I also am man enough to admit that I got you mixed up with someone else here. Still doesn't mean you should have resulted in calling me names as to be fair we really didn't need a second thread with this as you could have asked your question in the other thread first.

I have a minor black streak that is only visible when the screen is displaying a black image. Even a small amount of color on the back background makes it difficult to spot.
Overall I am very happy with the Note 2 screen.
my n7100 after a year now its a horror in the dark..first was some dots and now its in all the screen

Who is keeping their One despite gap gate issues?

My One has a modest gap along most of the top, and you can feel the screen jutting out a bit when you swipe down the notification drawer. But I wouldn't have even noticed these issues if it wasn't for the nitpicky bastards on this forum pointing out every tiny imperfection.
I don't have any dead pixels or other problems, so I'm going to ignore the tiny physical defects and keep my phone instead of returning it 50 times only to get one with different or worse issues.
Who's with me? :thumbup:
I'm very satisfied with my phone, but I still might check back into ATT on day 10 or so to see if new stock is improved.
I have small gaps on top and bottom and screen overhang on my top left corner. It's still the most finely crafted phone I have ever owned.
I think the gap issue is way over blown by the OCD nerds on XDA. I'm sure my phone has flaws but I keep it in its case and I don't spend time just staring at it.

I have the common very slight gap on the top, but I'm keeping my One. There's no use exchanging the phone and maybe getting a worse unit in return. I don't even notice it if I'm not specifically looking for it. My One is in a case, anyway. I've been an iPhone owner for years and I get tired of this "OCD" crap and "I've exchanged my phone fourteen times" every time a phone is released.
Definitely will be returning due to gap gate and the top of the screen sticking out. Will probably wait until the end of the period to see if new stock arrives with fixes to these issues.

That's insulting to someone who really (painfully) suffers from OCD.. Hint.
I have two very small gaps, the screen is recessed at the bottom, and is raised at the top. All very minor. No dead pixels. But I do have a very small piece of some sort of fiber behind the screen. Can't see it during normal use because it is located where the battery indicator / time is located. However, it is clearly noticeable when I turn the screen sideways.
I wish there was some sort of way to move it out. Probably going to exchange it.

Of all the hundreds of posts and reviews I'd read and many HTC's viewed pre-release, this issue was rarely mentioned. It's a mature piece and very well done..actually top of the bunch IMO.

I put that guy on my block list a while back.. The only reason I see what he wrote was because you quoted him..
He has issues!
Report his offensive post, block him and enjoy the phone!
"Gap Gate" isn't a big enough issue to warrant taking my phone back, I think. Certainly not the metal, anyway. The screen overhang is annoying to me (when I notice it - which is almost never in typical usage), but I think I can handle it.
The only thing making me consider returning my phone during the 14-day window is the option to get the developer edition instead. Knowing damn well that AT&T will screw us with updates leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth. I haven't done it yet in the event that the latest software update for the International ROM is for stuff that's already included in the AT&T version, but I'm quite tempted. The fact that international ROMs will work on the AT&T model is the other thing that's holding me back. I just don't want to get into the business of flashing such and such an update all the time if I don't have to. I'm almost certainly going to be staying on a stock ROM of some sort, if only to keep camera functionality (my One XL is using a stock-based ROM right now for just this reason -- the camera is important to me).
Just received my phone today from att.com, it's perfect.

I checked my ONE out after seeing pictures about this issue. I have zero issues with my HTC ONE build. My device looks and is working how its supposed to. I will be keeping mine.

This thread doesn't do anything but rile people up. It's no different than a "see ya suckers, I'm leaving!" thread.

The purpose is to create a thread where people say they ARE staying and that all the talk of gap gate is limited to a few perfectionists who can't deal with even the slightest "defect."

Except that it's yet another thread with "gap gate" in the title. It's not a conspiracy! Do you really think HTC is doing it on purpose? Need to let that term die.
Hey, how come Andrew gets to get up? If he gets up, we'll all get up, it'll be anarchy!
I keep going back and forth on this. I have a small gap on the top and virtually no gap on the bottom. I also have a small nick in the aluminum between the bottom speaker and the screen, right on the corner. I have an overhang on the top and the bottom too. I'm worried if I go exchange it, I'm going to end up with something worse, or with dead pixels or something.
Part of me wants to exchange it and get a developer edition as I think the build quality is overall better on those. Part of me wants to just forget the very minor defects I have and keep it. I only have 2 more days to make my decision though as my 14 days will be up. It's such a great phone overall though.
