I'm having trouble getting the WatchOn app to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
Seems like it works randomly. My OTS would turn on out of no where but never from the actions I defined.
I think this may have something to do with the sensors not working properly right now.

I liked the style of the app and the config page made me feel it would turn on when I wanted it, but the screen never ever ever never turned on once using it.
I tried a Screen Shake On app from play store, but it would only work for about two minutes after the screen went dark. Now I just push the power button, but am keeping my eye out for a good app to get this function.

Interestingly I've noticed that the app works great...as long as i'm connected to an external power supply. If i disconnect it...you know, to wear it or something...then it doesn't work.

There are known issues with the sensors on this device. Not much to be done about it until kernel source gets released.

Am I correct in thinking it is theoretically possible that an official firmware that fixes the problem could be released without the kernel source being released? (Trying to understand where the problem has to be fixed, as a matter of interest.)

Is this related to why the calibration screen appears to be perfectly consistent and it looks like the sensors are fine, but then once the screen has gone to sleep, it will wake up again for movements and orientations that seem to bear no resemblance to how it was set?
At one point I was halfway convinced that it was consistently waking up when I had the watch rotated to about 30 degrees closer to vertical and 45 degrees counterclockwise (using the face as the clock) from the settings I'd given it, but then I concluded I must have been inexplicably inebriated when I determined that.

I don't have any app of this type loaded at the moment. Sometimes I still catch the screen on. So, don't assume every time you see it lit up it's because of the WatchOn app. This thing is just 7 kinds of silly and does what it wants.

They still have not fixed the security and root issues I told them about in November. Mainly because they lack the skills. The only reason the sensors and app work on the EU 512/4 is because I fixed it by pulling the kernel from another x201.

I gather that means yes, theoretically, but it's far less likely.
I've installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adl.appshakerShake and it seems to work pretty consistently (although the balance I have found for being able to activate it when I want without it activating because I scratched my nose or something is at a sensitivity of 9, which roughly translates to "vigorously rotate my wrist back and forth for about a second."
I just remembered I haven't reinstalled E-Robot since my last flash and I never got around to trying to use it to create a "turn the screen on when the watch shakes a lot" action; I may try that soon.
Shake is one of the very few that do work. I haven't tested them all but may include it in the next release as well as remote camera control for those that are doing the BT companion workaround.

I've been trying to get this app to work with 0 luck. 1/8 1900, ensec + operative root on my TS. Can you post the specific settings you are using so I can copy them exactly and see if I can get it to work?

Action when shaken: Simple - Turn Screen On
Sensitivity: 8 is working well for me, I recommend trying a little higher while you're attempting to get it to work...8 is a pretty vigorous back-and-forth rotation of the wrist for me.
Service State: On
Start at Phone Startup: checked
Active when screen is off: checked
Battery saving mode: unchecked
Vibrate when shaken: checked
Notify when shaken: checked (I think Turn Screen On is one of the actions for which this doesn't do anything)
Most shake or position based wake apps do not work on the 1/8 1900. Even Shake is inconsistent and it's the best so far.

with the new ICS coming just around the corner, I have tried to do so research on it, but still do not know a couple of things, is it smoother, and there seem to be a wifi issue, sometimes I have to keep manually connecting to the wifi after unlocking the screen, will that still be an issue. I think for me that was one of the big issues sothey must have fixed it with the ICS update.
Wifi has not been resolved. I am fine when not hibernating but even with it set to stay on it always disconnects when the screen goes off or in the cradle. Sucks but nothing I lose sleep over.

The wifi issue is easily solved by downloading "Advanced Wifi Lock" from the market. Just install that and it's instantly fixed!
Worked! Yay, thank you.

Issue hasn't been resolved YET. ICS has not been released and as far as I am aware 3.2.1r2 was the last update issued anywhere and the WiFi issue was only just starting to become apparent when that was pushed out. Give Sony a chance to work it out.
I was watching qvc this morning and they are selling a coby tablet that has ICS on it. Lol
I wish we can get it already.
The tablet s I bought here has no issue with the wifi problem mentioned.
Most of the times, I don't have that problem, but I think it's just the reconnection that is fast enough to not bother me.

Which firmware version are you on then?? Mine is THMAS0032400.
Here I am again, and mine also have the "never disconnect wifi" option selected and works ok. I put a big file copying from my lan, then the tab entered in the standby mode, and after a while I checked again and the file was copied, so no connection dropped in my case. And I also remembered that even in standby I hear the new emails notification and the green light starts blinking also, so no drops here.
Mine has THMAS0112400, 3.2.1 r2, kernel 2.6.36.3, Portuguese edition.

Curious to know how many other people are having issues with their proximity sensor while using a AOSP rom. I have been using Antp's "le n00b" (lol) AOSP CM9 Kang and have been having issues with my device locking up during calls. So I started to investigate more into the problem and have tried multiple fixes, nothing seems to work. I've took it a step forward just to determine whether my proximity sensor has just recently gone bad. I restored my backup of Venom and walaa, my sensor is working normally. No lockups, or any misbehaving. Only thing I find weird is some people have the issue, and some don't. Many factors come into this, I know... But my screen would only lock up if I was in a room with dim lighting. When I was outside in the sun, worked smooth. Would really like some feedback on this if you guys don't mind. Thanks!

I've got this problem too. I don't have to be in the middle of a call for my phone to freeze though. I checked with the Android Sensor app and it doesn't toggle between 0 and 9 (cm? I don't have my phone on me right now) like someone else reported. I have to turn off the screen (which takes a few seconds after pushing the power button), and then when I turn it back on the phone works normally.
Another detail I found though is that even though the display "freezes", it still accepts input. If the screen freezes, and then I press the home button, when I turn the screen off and then back on, I'll be on my home screen. Not in the app that I had running. Same with the other cap buttons, keyboard, on-screen buttons. If it was an issue with the proximity sensor, I would think the screen would just turn off and not accept input, right?
The ROM isn't at fault here, it is a hardware issue of the sensor getting dust in it. Simple as that.
Yeah, it's not Rom related. It's definitely a hardware issue and if your still under warranty I would take action ASAP. My replacement should be here tomorrow so crossing my fingers its problem free.

Well it may not be ROM related, sure. But I don't think it's a physical problem with the hardware either. luis, you said yourself when you restored back to Venom your 'sensor is working normally' and you had no hiccups. I didn't have the problem under CleanROM DE either.
Maybe the problem is in dmeadow's kernel. It is beta after all

It's happening on Venom for me now. Only difference is I can hit power button to get my screen back.

Ah, damn. Alright, maybe it was just an unfortunate coincidence that the timing for when this started happening matched up with when I started flashing the newer ROMs/kernels.
Different ROMs detect it differently. It IS a hardware issue.
Found out how to disable the sensor completely. Testing it out now. So far so good.
Edit: Sensor disabled and sticks after reboot. If anyone with sensor issues wants this mod, pm me. I want someone else to test this out.

The proximity sensor in this phone is a problem. Mine wasn't working at all, so I got a replacement. Got it and set it up yesterday and this one works....kinda. It works mostly correctly in bright light..outdoors, in an office, etc. It doesn't work correctly in low light...at night, in my house, etc. However, I can make it work temporarily by rubbing my thumb across the top of the phone over the Verizon logo for a few seconds. That will make it work for between 10 seconds and a minute or so. It seems to be IR/heat related, as even in bright light it sometimes needs help. I think I might just going to disable this one and deal with it.

Yeah, these sensors are horrible. Its not a show stopper, but it does suck to have these issues with a device we paid good money for.
Sent from my Xoom using xda app-developers app
Question to those who have done it, how far do you have to tear down the device to get to the sensors? Are they attached to the motherboard or are they in the display? The guides and videos I've seen revolved around replacing the display/digitizer, and I haven't been able to tell exactly where the sensors live.
Sorry luis! I went to sleep between my post and your post so didn't test last night. I'll flash it right now and get back to you on whether my display freezes anymore while I'm out today.

I had my first freeze up already. I checked with the Android Sensor Box app and the proximity sensor is still registering values (0 cm if I cover it, or 9 cm if I don't, no in between).
Hi guys!
I bought the Z3TC LTE and are very happy with the device but I experience kind of ghosting with the touch screen:
Moving my finger up and down on an scrollable page / app it starts missing or skipping a movement!
Is that a general problem or should I return the device?
I made an demonstration Video:

try a reboot.
is it only 1 app or is it happening on different apps?
Reproducible in every App! Reboot does not help!
If I find time I'm gonna try the same on an Z3TC in an local store..
hmmm thats strange....
glove mode is not on right?
If not, try a factory reset.
if that does not work, sounds like service.....
does this happen when you are charging the device? sometimes this is caused by a charger that doesn't supply sufficient current

I think I am facing the opposite of that. The screen is far too sensitive and sometimes takes a scroll as a touch. Happens everywhere on the device. I fear it's a hardware thing.

So i just wanted to know if anyone else out there/what i should do. I was one of the people whose edge stopped auto rotating but rather than exchange it i waited for a fix and i got one with this latest update. My phone auto rotates fine now but whenever playing a racing game or a game that uses the accelerometer it messes up.
For example, if im in a racing game (asphalt or real racing) my cars always turn to the right. Nothing makes it go left. So what should i do? (If anything) or is anyone else experiencing this?

i had the same auto rotation problem and i waited for the update as well, but it wasnt resolved when i did. (i have sprint sm-g925p) so i loaded up every rom we have and firmware and checked the hidden diagnostic menu (dial *#0*#) and every time the gyroscope was stuck on the x axis, i also checked the app checkmyandriod which shows a little better diagnostic on all the axis's the gyroscope uses and 2 of them were frozen on a number. so after all that troubleshooting bull**** i called up samsung (i would have called sprint but i bought the phone from a guy on ebay) and told them all the steps i went through and they informed me that many, many s6 edges internals were poorly put together and the fast charge fried the gyroscope when it heated up above a certain temp. the update only masks the true problem of crappy build quality the first few batches somehow had. my suggestion is to bite the bullet and send it in to replalce it, or just keep having the same problem for the life of the phone. Just my 2 cents though.

When i updated the phone it fixed the auto rotate BUT i guess the accelerometer is all tripped. Im completely stock no root. Ive done the *#0*# and it says everything running. Id prefer not to replace it, i dont play games on the phone but id like the option too lol. Maybe another fix?

I'm not sure if my findings are rare or if it could be something more, but this is what I found:
I ran into this issue after doing a factory reset. The screen would no longer rotate.
Went out to the market to look for a third party app to check the software for the Gyro. I downloaded "Screen Rotation Control"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bong.android.androidlock&hl=en
While running this app, the screen rotated no problem. So I uninstalled the app. Now my screen rotates like it did the day I got it.
Hope this might help someone else.

Hi guys.
i made a short video in which it's shown what i mean
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h645V_GLuQ
It is a comparation between my honor 9 and my moto x 2014 regarding display sensitivity
In the first comparation it's shown how badly the sensitivity of the touch is calibrated when small movements are made. The red circle on the honor 9 doesn't move
In the second comparation it's shown a swipe issue. If you look with attention you will notice that the last millimeters of a swipe are executed with delay. Infact you will see the red circle moving even though the finger is stopped
I'm using Android nougat b180.
these problems are very annoying, especially during games
Does anyone of you has tha same issue? (I think yes)
have these problems been fixed whit oreo beta update?
I have this issue and I always thought I was imagining the delay, thanks for demonstrating it in the video. This is one of the biggest problems for me as the phone is great in every other aspect

In the second comparation it's shown a swipe issue. If you look with attention you will notice that the last millimeters of a swipe are executed with delay. Infact you will see the red circle moving even though the finger is stopped
I'm using Android nougat b180.
these problems are very annoying, especially during games
Does anyone of you has tha same issue? (I think yes)
have these problems been fixed whit oreo beta update?

Did someone tried with Oreo Beta? Is the problem still there?
I agree with you, that's terrible. But I have to admit, without your post and without using multi touch tester, I didn't know my phone had this problem.
Usually I'm careful with the touch screen (cause old bad experiences) but this time in the daily usage I didn't notice it.
I hope that honor fixes this problem because for such a phone it's embarrassing, but anyway I continue to use the phone without any very big problem.

I tried through hiCare app. They told me that there is no problem with touch and that the video is not attendible beacause it is used a third party app. Moreover they said that mine was the only report about it so they will not consider it

Activate or deactivate??
I also tried this - with pocket mode "off" an gloves mode "on" the phone seems to be a litte more responsive.
Either the touch-driver is crappy or meanwhile i got hallucinations. :silly:
But there is also more strange touch-behaviour:
If i scroll large lists in google news with repearted short swipes, the device stops within the list and changes scrolling direction. Looks like hitting a rubberband . This could be an issue of the touch driver or maybe a problem of emui.
Is there anybody using the early lineageos or Resurrection Remix who has also touch problems?
