Hi everybody,
I come from Windows Mobile, and I'm very happy about Android (and Hero...). With my old WM smartphone I could turn the display off just facing down the device, it was a small application but very userful in my opinion. Do you know any application to do this in Android? Otherwise, it's an idea for development...
Thanks (sorry for my english..)
If you turn it over when it is ringing it will turn it onto silent. I think there are several apps in the market that do the things you mention.
example?
Yes, I was pretty sure to find something in the market. But actually I had no chance. I know how to silent the telephone, but it's not what I'm looking for...
Can someone else tell me a program in the maket to turn the display off ?
Not sure what the point is? The screen switches itself off when it's not being used, so I can't really see the why someone would want to write an app that does as you describe.
Regards,
Dave
Re:
Ok, as example: I'm using Copilot 8. With the automatic screen off, after 2 min. (example) the screen turns off during the navigation. Not good. I have found a program to select the applications as exceptions to keep the display on, but I don't want to add every time some exception.
Or maybe I simply want to decide when to turn off the display without waiting the timer and without using the button (it's a physical button, I had bad experience with the lifetime of some hw button....)
As last answer I don't think your answer is useful. If you don't use this function, you can ask why to use/develop it to the thousands of users of WM using such app....

Ahem - I didn't attempt to provide an answer, I asked a question and qualified it with a statement!

Its easy... u can just click on the red button on your hero and the screen will turnoff, and when u want to turn it on u can click on MENU twice and u will be back at your application that u were using...

I use Copilot but my screen doesnt go off while navigating, and my auto screen off is set to 1min. I think there may be a setting in copiolt to keep the phone awake while in use.

You are correct man, I have been lookin for that kind of apk couldn't find one.
How the apk would work:
-Simply by positioning the device with the face down, you get an instant sleep mode.
-As if you pressed hardware power/sleep.
-You can simulate a "face down" in mid air and the device will sleep. Handy to keep the power/sleep button clean.

There is such a setting in Copilot. As you'd expect, you can find it in "Settings"!

Hy,
Previoulsly I was using a flased HTC Polaris. There was one great thing with this phone : buttons. Espacially incoming call answer button.
I love my X10, but I do have problem answering incoming phonecall. The slide button is very difficult to use with both hands, and impossible if you use your phone with one hand only (It could be a good thing for not answering while driving though).
I expected that flashing with a custom rom would solve this issue, as I was sure that everyone would agree with this point of view, but so far, I haven't tested a ROM that provide an incoming call button that isn't a slide button.
I believe that this slide thing (even for unlocking I don't like it) is some sort of iPhone like complex. Well to my point of view, an Android phone isn't an iPhone, and shouldn't try to look like an iPhone (espacially when it comes to details that are not so great about the iPhone)
Now to my question : is there a way to change the style of the answer button from this stupid and unpracticle slide button to a more simple touch button ?
There is a handfull of apps to do that... i listed some of them here, but i guess you can find even more of them:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lab1945.advphone&feature=search_result
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.nsd.easyanswer
https://market.android.com/details?id=tw.nicky.FullScreenCallerPro&feature=search_result
I guess some of them even allow you to use camera button to answer the phone.
The "iPhone Complex" is SO true...
Well said.
(I am using MIUI, but that's all about absorbing the good aspects of the iPhone and combining them with the Android power)

Great. Thanks a LOT.
I thought this kind of things would be changed only with a mod ROM.
Nope.. it's a case of "There's an app for that" !!!!!!

Thank you sir..... it is very helpful!
I'll cover this app later on the Apps and Games Thread...
I liked the idea and the app. Even have used ez answer but that covered the quick sms reply.
Dont understand why it needs internet, GPS perms and also read sms/mms. If the developer explains that it would be nice.

actually the main idea of slide to answer thingy is to avoid unwanted recieving of call i mean .....our phone has a capacitive tuchscreen which responds to even smallest of our touch if we have a direct answer button then take a situation like for eg: m with my gf and doing naughty things with her and suddenly my dad calls me and bimistakely the direct answer button gets pressed the call will get recieved but i wud not be knowing tht.....so slide answer prevents tht from happening....so slide to answer is very beneficial at such kind of moments....lol

Interesting..I use the Home button to answer calls (Settings->Call settings->All calls->Answering call->Answering key->set this to ON).

That, and you can use the power off switch to end a call. Settings - Accessibility - tick power key ends calls.
Very useful for these reasons
1. Usually you have to wait for the proximity sensor to lightup the display then end a call.. in that time the person on the other end thinks i wanna talk more, or maybe he wants say something at the last moment and you cant hear it coz the phone is not on ur ear anymore (Coz ur waiting for the screen to light up)
2. The index finger is right on top of the power button when you are holding your fone, atleast mine is, so i can DC it instantly whn I am done talking. Samsung did some things right this is one of them
these two features (Recieve with home key & end with power key) has made life so easy!
I used this app, but I'd really like the HTC Call screen ported to the G3. Any way to do that?

hi
mee too buddy but what to do this is the closest we can get to that
i also have a tattoo(my wife is using it now) and it is real easy for me on that phone
I found these apps too laggy :/
The stock phone app pops up and after few second the buttons appear. I have plenty of time to answer with slides.
If there was a complete replacement it would be faster, but there is not...
HTC Call screen is awesome :L

While I like the app you mentioned,
you just sent me remembering a old days incident which happened with one of my close friend, i think it was around1998, incoming calls were Rs.8.40/min in India.
His father owned a bus service, he used to go to fill diesel and sign slips on petrol pump everyday, mostly with me and very occasionally alone.
One day when I was not along, he was bored so he went to university area, he located a few friends and was at tea shop, discussing everything from how cruel heart his father is, he sends him on bike on rainy days too, father has millions but will drive FIAT only, I hate these qualities, why can't I go by car to fuel the buses etc, oh my GF, she su**s me so hard and wild, I am flirting with a new girl and god knows what not, and to his BAD Luck, his ODD Motorola phone had his father's number saved in voicemail button which got activated.
To cut the story short (i can't stop laughing now), He was without food for 1 day, while Bike and cellphone were taken back for 6-7 days.
While this friend now owns a couple of Big Education centers, He still lives with his father, I am sure both may have forgotten that
So no way to port HTC Call screen to G3? Somebody PUH-LEEZ do it?!!
I used to use s.e. W810, recently switched to xperia mini. Everything is pretty nice but the vibration level. It's barely sensible. When I have my phone in my jean pocket switched to silent mode, I feel nothing and when I check it to see whether there is any notification, usually I got ,say, 3 messages and 2 missing call
So, it's obvious that I don't feel the vibration. Searched a little about it, but neither could find anyone suffers from that problem like I do nor a solution to increase vibration level. However thought that maybe by reaching the phone's system files that can be feasible. So, is it possible to do that, if so, how ?
Thanks in advance.
I've not had a problem with it, but there are also apps to allow you to make your own vibration patterns. So maybe something with a bit more stop/start would help?

Thanks for your suggestion but the problem is not the pattern but the level of the vibration definitely. I compared it with other phones and it's really not that high like old phones.
Go sms pro can help you define how many miliseconds the vibration for a notification for a new text should last. haven't used any app which can do the same for incoming calls, but it should exist somewhere in the market!
Actually what I'm looking for is to be able to increase the power of the motor inside the phone which creates those vibrations. This is adjustable for sure, cause for instance as typing it vibrates very slowly. So, by playing with codes they can be achieved, at least as theoretically
Hello, I'm currently using an x912 on 2.3.6, rooted. I'd like to go to ICS, however I have some concerns:
How is the battery life? Having the standard Razr, this is a concern for me
Will I be able to root again? How exactly do I do this? I've also heard the term deodox thrown around, what is that?
How is the keyboard? The one thing that turned me off about MIUI was that the keyboard didn't input a character immediately after you pressing the screen, and that really slowed me down
Finally: how is the lock screen? I use an app to lock my screen at the moment, so I only use the power button half as often. Will I still be able to do that in ics? can I set it to a gesture like I can with ADW, and will it turn the screen off as well?
Thank you for any and all help, I'm just having little luck with google with some of these questions, and the way I understand it it's a one way path. I just really want to make sure that this isn't something that I end up regretting

The battery life is lower in ICS than GB but performance is greater.
In dev section, you can find many root methods that work.
About keyboard, the ICS keyboard have a similar function to the GB, maybe more fast.
Upgrading to ICS is the best choice for RAZR, GB offers a much lower performance.
Sorry for bad english.

The razr utility 1.81 is what i would use to root these days... when it comes to battery life i have experienced better results with ics. Deodex = Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything. Hope i helped.. cheers..
