I've turned off auto-brightness on my phone, but I notice that under certain situations, especially under bright conditions, that my contrast will change automatically. I've noticed this when using swiftkey, that my black theme will automatically lighten to grey. Is this normal?

I've seen this before in other Android devices.
While this isn't a complete explination, it's what I've come to know
Like other smartphones, Android phones use an ambient light sensor to automatically adjust your phone’s display brightness. This often doesn’t work too well.
It’s up to each Android phone’s manufacturer to correctly calibrate the auto-brightness feature, and they generally don’t do an amazing job. The phone may go from too bright to too dim without anything in between.
Lux is a third-party app that allows you to easily calibrate your phone’s brightness sensor, saving you battery power and reducing eye strain if your phone is normally too bright in dark rooms.

So I've come from Samsung devices and am a little curious if download booster was something from Samsung or from Verizon? I notice when I have Wifi enabled my 4g connection greys out. Is there a setting to use both on the V10?

Mine does that when I'm low on signal from the tower, mostly in my office which is in my basement.
I believe it does that to save battery trying to keep the cell connection up, but I could be wrong.

V10 versions
I'm trying to buy a v10 but I don't know witch one is the international version and at the same time its not dual sim device
Can u please give me the right phone to be used in the middleeast ?

Has anyone tried to adjust the height of the keyboard in landscape mode? I find it too scrunched down. The settings has a slider to raise or lower it, but I can't get the slider to work in landscape mode. I think it might be a little bug. Works fine in portrait..

I'm currently using the TMO variant of the V10 (H901), and the smart lock does not seem to work when using the trusted places option. I have tried deleting all my trusted locations and re-enabling them. I have tried turning the location settings on and off. Nothing seems to help. Smart lock works fine when I have my bluetooth headset connected. Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas what I could try to fix it? Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to root a V10 (LG-H900) on AT&T
The 'adb reboot bootloader' will only reboot it, and it does not bring up the bootloader.
How do you get into bootloader? Power + volume down does nothing.
AT&T just pushed out an update. Did they kill rooting?

Is there a way to pull down the top bar to just see the notifications such as emails etc without seeing all the settings? I could do this on my CM rom on my old note 2. Maybe I should be doing it a different way on this phone? Mainly trying to quick glance my email and archive it if necessary

I have quick question i was able to get v10 to unlock the bootloader but when i try to install twrp it says i have install but it didnt install. So when i read somewhere else in the forum. You have to do in various way. So when i try recoginize my device with adb its not recognizing. Any help will be appreciated,

Assuming you have USB Debugging checked under Developer Options,
First open "My Computer".
Watch under your Local Disk drive(s) in My Computer when you plug the phone via USB to see some kinda drive with an LG logo popping.(Beware it will disappear after a few seconds)
Once it shows then click on it; another window will open up with a few folders and files..
Look for the folder with the keyword SWUpdater in the folder name (or something close to that name).
Install the SWUpdater driver software found in it.
P.S: If it doesn't show the LG Logo type drive when you connect the phone to your computer, leave it connected then go to your notification on the phone. Click on "USB Connected" and switch between "MTP" and "PTP". That will force the LG to show under My Computer.
I did that using Windows 7 for my Verizon V10. Good Luck!!!

Ok, silly questions, but I've searched and can't find the answers...:
When using the camera app with the front camera, what is the slider at the bottom of the screen that goes from 0 to 8? Also with the ffc (in settings) , what does the icon with 2 faces (they're either facing the same way, or opposite ways) do?

So, my OK Google was saying that there was no mic, so I figured I'd uninstall and install it from the play store. Only now, the extra settings are gone. Like, the settings to say OK Google from any screen and the lock screen as well. Only option is to say it within the app. Is there any way to fix this? I'm on T-Mobile, rooted stock

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but has anyone noticed the colors on the screen occasionally going kind of greyed out.. Like lighter and more grey than usual, almost sort of inverted or grey scale, but not entirely? Its not a huge deal and it doesn't seem to last long, but happens sometimes. I haven't pinned down if it has a cause, or if it's just my phone or what. I wanna say it mainly happens outside in daylight rather than inside at night, but I'm not positive. Anyone noticed it also?

I was wondering if anyone knew. How to port roms? If so I have this rom I been using on my stylo that I would love on my v10 rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3265566 permission given. If you can port on me please and thank you

Can. Anyone make real ultimate icon theme work for v1o I want my status bar icon to look 2d look more realistic

screen off widget

hey all
I am looking for a widget that can simply turn the screen off, I press and the screen goes off.
I have searched but cant find anything that works
Thanks
I have seen a couple of apps in my travels go have a look in the android development I'm sure an xda member cooked one up a few weeks back,and from what i remember android does not switch off straight away like WM does it has a delay built in
I was looking for one of these some months ago.
I was told that there wasnt one which stopped the screen straight away, however I found on. UNFORTUNATELY, I can't find it again. (I am on my third Streak)
It wasn't badged as a screen off, but it was a single widget which locked the device (aka turned off the screen, as if you had pressed the power button)
I would love to find it again!
Screen off
http://android.konreu.com/applications/screen-off/
I don't see the point myself, why don't you just hit the power button
Yyhat link doesnt work no item found, the power button is in a weird spot for my liking and since i use no lock and open with th volume button
Then why don't you do a google search for an android app called 'scren off'

Pick up your android phone and go to somewhere called the 'android marketplace' you may even have an app already installed for that so no need to search for that thank goodness.
In the search bar enter 'sreen off' it should be at the top of the list
i have a question, maybe this is android related, maybe streak, not sure.
I come from WM6.5 background, so forgive me if this is a 'duh' question:
when I am listening to music, or recording or, anything really, if the screen turns off, it shuts the whole phone down. including wifi (loses connection)
is there a way to have the screen dim/off to save battery, but still be active.
biggest is music/recording. when I am recording something (meeting, etc) I have to force the screen to stay on in order for it to continue recording. same thing goes for uploading to youtube - i have to keep the screen on for it to continue it's connection.
Am I missing something??
Thanks for the help
try an app called "free power widget"
you can adjust the screen timeout so it is short or long
you can easily adjust screen brightness
you can adjust the wifi lock and a bunch of other settings.

There's something wrong with your connection, (that's your internet one, not the one within your head the connects your lobes together, especially the lobe containing common sense)
What you could do to stop you from losing your Wi-Fi connection when in sleep mode is try going into Settings -> Wireless controls -> Wi-Fi settings -> press menu button then Advanced -> then select Wi-Fi sleep policy and change the option to Never. This should I think keep Wi-Fi active when your screen is off (stops of the phone from switching to mobile data and by default is set to do so when the screen is off).

Coming from Windows Mobile, a SIMPLE power off app is hard to find on Android. I had one on my WM Touch Pro2 on my homescreen- simple tab and off.
Over the months of trying to find a simple FREE app- this is what I have so far encountered.
Screen Off .99 and Power Off .99- are available. But due to a so call security reason for Android, it will not power off the phone immediately- screen is off- but you can see the hardware lights on. I found another tip that you will have to modify an API to do so.
Yes, many, many, many, Google searches and this is what i found.
You can try a widget called Extended Controls. They are awesome and include a screen off widget, I use it all the time to turn my screen off.
Widgetsoid offers a hugely customisable power control widget which includes a screen lock button. It's working brilliantly for me on o2 2.2!

[Q][Help] Tenfifteen QW09 3g Smartwatch - How to answer/dial to paired phone?

Hello everybody!
I'm a forum newbie and hope someone can help me!!
I've bought an Mtk smartwatch, model QW09 from http :// www . gearbest .com/smart-watch-phone/pp_411172.html (I've to use spaces inside url due to forum rules). It's an Android device with a Kitkat version on board called FunOS.
I've been able to pair it with my Huawei P8 smartphone via bluetooth and I receive basic notifies from the phone BUT I can't answer to a call when phone rings (the smartwatch only vibrate once but nothing appear on its display) or make a bluetooth call. Obiously I need it because I don't use the smartwatch with a SIM inserted into, only with paired phone for not missing calls when it's inside my pockets or inside a bag...I just want to know if it's possibile and how to answer/make calls to my phone via bluetooth from the smartwatch.
Thanks a lot in advance if someone could help me! :fingers-crossed:

You probably figured this out already but I'll post to help others who are also having this issue. Short answer is that you cant't answer calls made to your phone via bluetooth with this devise. The QW09 is essentially a tiny phone and that keeps it from being used this way. You can either put a sim in it and use it as a standalone phone (provided it will work with your carrier) or you can use it to receive notifications. But you cant answer/make calls to my phone via bluetooth.
I might be sending this 2 years later, but I actually found a way to use this watch right. Here's what I think IS by far the best way to get this watch operational, at least for my Huawei Mate 8:
1. Root with KingRoot (Download the application over Windows PC, enable USB debugging, connect the QW09 smartwatch)
2. For this step you have 2 options:
a) Download Watch Droid Phone Pro 8.2 apk somewhere on the internet.
b) Get Lucky Patcher and patch Watch Droid Phone 8.2 yourself.
3. Downloading the same app, but other counter part, this would be, Droid Watch 8.2.
MAKE SURE TO INSTALL THE EXACT SAME VERSION, THE LATER BUILDS ACTUALLY DONT SHOW UP THE CALL BUTTON AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE BELLOW:

}
I PROVIDED BOTH SCREENSHOTS SO YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR.
4. Connecting is pretty simple just follow the instructions, and you should be done. Calling through the app can be setup, as well as other cool features, depending on your phone.
NOTE! - These other steps are for people who want to get rid of some annoying FunOS features.
5) NO.1 Watchskin faces:
This FunOS was actually quiet annoying to work around first. I figured that it's based on NO.1 watches, and so their watchfaces do work.
For that stuff you'll need root access like which I mentioned as step #1. The location to put the facewatches is root/system/clockskin... (Make sure that they're labeled _45, _45 etc...)
6) Getting screen rotation, notification panel and navbar at the bottom of your screen:
As you may have noticed, when you swipe down, you get this horrible looking menu with a QR code, and nothing to touch besides WIFI and Bluetooth.
Get these 2 programs to fix that:
[url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nu.nav.bar[/URL] - Navigation bar.
(When using put scale on bottom to 30% - IF YOU USE ANY HIGHER THAN THAT, THE SCREEN WILL OVERLAP WITH THE NAVBAR)
[url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.chladek.swipe_status_bar[/URL] - Swipe status bar.
[url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stihiya.notification.drawer[/URL] - Notification drawer.
Some other useful apps that I found to actually be really good:
1. Gallery 3D (Android 2.0 imtation) - This app is good because scaling pictures HD on this thing is a pain in the ****.
2. Document Viewer - Good for reading Office documents.
3. Dimly - For dimming your display, has nightmode.
4. Messanger Lite - FOR SOME REASON ONLY THIS VERSION ON MESSANGER WORKS.
5. RAR - For archives.
6. Screen Roration Camera - Use this to be able to rotate portrait, landscape... etc. If you combine this with the swipe notification you can easily rotate the screen, because it creates a notification.
7. OpenCamera - Good for zooming etc, rotating. Since position for the camera is AWFUL on this device, not to mention screen being a bit off too.
8. File Manager + - Use this instead of ES File explorer, because it wastes less memory.
9. ColorNote, Smart Quick Settings, Weather, BlueMail.
I spent some time trying to find the right programs for this watch, so it wouldn't get build up with a load of crap and get slow.
Most of these apps are around 5 MB each, except Messanger Lite.
If you'd like some sort of switch for the Advanced Task Killer, I use One Cleaner.
Vysor for control over PC...
Flappy Fish is also a good game if you're trying to find something that won't fry the motherboard... etc.
Also when getting the notification bar enabled you'll notice the standard KitKat notification panel, with all of it's features.
For some reason these FunOS bois, put some features hidden. You couldn't even change your GPS/Location settings. Luckly with these you might be able to.
If you got any other questions feel free to ask!
please can you help me? i recently buy a qw09 smartwatch, i root it , but i can install Watch Droid Assistant in the smartwatch , a message appears saying that version is not available anymore . Insatalling the last version doesn´t show a bluetoot caller icon. And watch droid phone in my smartphone works, but the texts shows in white, and its almost impossible to read any of the menu (sorry my bad english)

[UMIDIGI F1] Android P customizations, dark theme, gesture navigation

The Umidigi F1 is supposed to come with stock Android P; however, it seems that some features have been removed or disabled.
I can't find how to enable the Android P Dark Theme.
I can't figure out how to enable full screen gesture navigation or how to swap the back and recents buttons in the navbar.
I'm sure there are other things as well.
Can I use adb to enable those settings?
Is there some other way to re-enable these basic Android P features?
Swapping the back and recents buttons are in the Smart Assistant option in Settings. There you can also find the Umidigi version of navigation gestures.
As for Dark Theme, I have no idea, myself. The option's for sure not there by default.
I'm hopeful that someone will develop some custom roms for it, myself. The stock rom is not as smooth as I know vanilla Android is, and you can't turn on the battery % on the notification bar. Screen size is not adjustable, either.

I've randomly experienced a kind of dark mode in the notifications and volume control but can't consistently replicate it. It seems to be triggered by a dark wall paper. I have a dark wall paper and have dark volume control, but pull down notifications/menu are still white.
Download a cool little app called Powershade from the store. You can style your notifications/menu to whatever you like. You'll need to enable Powershade in Duraspeed to prevent it being stopped.
The stock Pie pill gesture isn't there, only 'slippy' gestures which constantly kick you back the home screen when typing (aka Sloppy gestures). This could easily be fixed by reducing the active area to one pixel, it currently sits over the space bar.
That, along with:
- Not supporting launchers
- Issues with photos being completely messed up (masses of low resolution duplicates)
- Constantly backward facing GPS indicator
- Unable to send images via whatsapp
- Power and earphones plugged in creates unbearable interference
...have made this phone unusable for me. Updates are too slow to depend on them and have so far just caused even more issues. Its such a shame, it could have been a great value for money phone, but turned out to be too good to be true.
I'm returning mine to Amazon. For a few pounds more I can get something I'm not constantly battling with.
Took this from an Umidigi forum, it works
:As for quickstep issue, all you guys have to do is to remove the package and it'll work flawlessly, even with custom launchers(I'm using Nova).
This is only temporarily until you factory reset OR OTA update the device.
1) Download minimal adb fastboot package from here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754459552
2) Go to Settings > System > About Phone and tap on "build number" about 8 times. You should see a message saying: "You are a developer now"
3) Back to the previous menu and you should see now a new item called "Developer options", go there, find and enable "USB debugging".
4) Now connect the phone to the PC via USB and select "Transfer files" on the phone.
5) Open a command line and go to the directory you extracted the adb tools to.
6) Run the command "adb devices", your device should shown. If not, you need to check the drivers.
7) Run "adb shell"
8) Run "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.launcher3". It should show "success".
9) Reboot the device and you will be able to multitask until either factory reset OR update.
I just got two of these yesterday. Getting mine setup this morning. I have no problem with the phone charging through USB and playing music out my headphones- the audio is perfectly clear. I also installed whatsapp and had no problems sending a photo to a friend, and she got it. I see my gps on google maps just fine and it seems to work as intended. I've not tried any other launchers, yet, but I REALLY like this phone for the price point. Sad there isn't more activity on here from folks who have them.

That would be pretty nice to have, but I think phones that support DT2W have to have hardware support for sensing the taps while off like most LG and HTC phones have. I'm using Glimpse notifications to get the screen wake for notifications like every phone should already have stock Yes, even though it's not AMOLED, it's got a 5150 mah battery FFS! 5 seconds of screen on a few times a day won't cost anything noticeable. And it hasn't either for 2 weeks I've been using it.
I too wonder if they'll ever get any kind of theming going though. That would sure be nice!
Umidigi f1 PLAY
Download SwiftKey keyboard. it allows u to move the keyboard up. basically fixing the sloppy slippery .

FYI: Change the sound played when charger plugged in

I have used the following to change the sound that is played when the charger is plugged in.
Code:
settings put global wireless_charging_started_sounds "/storage/emulated/0/Notifications/Road Runner - Meep Meep.mp3";
settings put global charging_started_sound "/storage/emulated/0/Notifications/Road Runner - Meep Meep.mp3";
I do the above via a shell, it can also be done via ADB.
@DiamondJohn
Thanks for your advice, has worked excellently on Pixel 4a.
Is it possible via a command to turn off the screen by double clicking on the status bar? My former smartphone Motorola X Play from 2015 had this feature and I miss it.

I use a VERY customize-able launcher. Its called Lightning Launcher, its a paid app but the default setup when you get it is crap. I have used it since Gingerbread and never looked back. BUT you can really do whatever your want. Including adding code. And rotating widgets and/or icons and stretching them etc etc etc
I have put gestures (ie associate code/scripts) which gestures on widgets/hidden hotspots. So, for example, if I click the left hand side of one wide widget, it acts normally and opens the weather details. However, if I click the right side, I run a script that hibernates select apps (basically all ) and then TURNS THE SCREEN OFF. I use this method instead of tapping my power button. Its easier as its on the screen I am using when I want to turn it off,and on a previous phone (Nexus 5) thepower button became notorious for failing on most.
Attached are the the scripts and the config file where I add/edit which apps to hibernate. It also has an include to renice the live wallpaper to the background
I also have it where I swipe up on another widget and it turns AOD on and swipe down turns it off. VERY handy being able to switch it on temporarily when I need to be somewhere on time and want too leave it to the last minute and know how long I got till I have to get moving.

I hate posting screen shots of my home screen, as the wallpaper is a live wall paper of the solar system, and its beautiful! as it flys between and orbits planets and sees the earth and its orbiting moon. A static image really does it injustice.

Is there a certain command that can bebused in the same way to change Lock and Unlock sounds as well as touch sound? Thanks

I have not tested it, but I ran a report on all settings using the app TeMeFI and filtered it down to ones that have the word "sound" in it, and this gave the following list:
Code:
File: * LAST UNSAVED RESULTS * SEP=============================;
Include: sound
charging_sounds_enabled=1
sync_parent_sounds=0
lockscreen_sounds_enabled=1
notification_sound=content://[email protected]/external/audio/media/5028
notification_sound_set=1
sound_effects_enabled=1
car_dock_sound=/product/media/audio/ui/Dock.ogg
car_undock_sound=/product/media/audio/ui/Undock.ogg
charging_started_sound=/storage/emulated/0/Notifications/Road Runner - Meep Meep.mp3
desk_dock_sound=/product/media/audio/ui/Dock.ogg
desk_undock_sound=/product/media/audio/ui/Undock.ogg
dock_sounds_enabled=0
dock_sounds_enabled_when_accessbility=0
lock_sound=/product/media/audio/ui/Lock.ogg
low_battery_sound=/product/media/audio/ui/LowBattery.ogg
low_battery_sound_timeout=0
max_sound_trigger_detection_service_ops_per_day=1000
power_sounds_enabled=1
sound_trigger_detection_service_op_timeout=15000
trusted_sound=/product/media/audio/ui/Trusted.ogg

wireless_charging_started_sound=/product/media/audio/ui/ChargingStarted.ogg
wireless_charging_started_sounds=/storage/emulated/0/Notifications/Road Runner - Meep Meep.mp3
So I would say yes. (see lock_sound & unlock_sound). Touch sound may require a magisk module.

Nice! Thanks! I will try this. The touch sound is actually named Effect.tick.ogg I believe but still should be possible, thanks for the help!

What I am saying, it does not appear to be in the "settings", irrelevant of what its called. As I said, it will be possible using Magisk, I just did not find it in settings.

the above via a shell, it can also be done via ADB.

That's awesome! Do you think it would work the same for all Android phones or is it only for stock Android on Pixels? Asking since Samsung use their own launcher with themed system sounds.
Thanks!

I have changed to a Custom A11 Rom (Bliss), and it works. This ROM covers multiple devices.
Thank you! Does this method need root access?

I do it in a boot script, which has root, and everything i test I also default to running as root. Your going to need to test it yourself.
So Boys, how to changing it,I'm locking for the default charging sound, I using Android 11, and not able to know which program to use, also tried some cmd apps from app store, I wanna try to change, to make my own sound at the charging, I Also used Battery Sound Notification ( Device Dooge S97Pro)

Question pixel 6 "Google notifications"

Does anyone know why I'm getting a Google Downloading notification so many times a day, and you can't clear them either, without disabling every notification in settings. It doesn't give any clue as to what's being downloaded. When I tap & hold it, it leads to a list of about 25 different notifications. I've tried disabling them in various combinations, to no avail. It's not updates to play services, or other system apps. I see those updates separately. I'm at a loss as to what it is for. It pops up many times when using Google keyboard, especially at times I'm typing in a search inquiry, on all kinds of different apps. But, it does appear at times I'm not using keyboard, though, less frequently.
Got a screenshot or something to help identify it?

I can't screenshot the notifications shade when pulled down. All it shows is two arrows in a circle one over the other, Google (dot) 1min which continues the count for several minutes. And under that, Downloading. I can activate or cause it to appear when I type in any search bar, in any browser app, or other apps, so, I'm thinking it has something to do with the Google keyboard perhaps. It's really starting to annoy, or frustrate me.
i was just able to take screenshots of notifications? ( Pressing at the same time POWER and VOL - ) you could also if you really wanted to help anyone figure out how to help you: screen record it then export photo, or even find the image online.
let me re-read what you have here and consider it further.

Hmmm. looks a lot like the sync icon for profile stuff like contacts and calendar etc.
Could be glitching while attempting to sync from the cloud? I would maybe turn that off and see if it does it.
If you turn off all google notifications does it still do?
to be honest i have not ever seen that before, so im wildly guessing and im not an expert lol. it sometimes takes a while to get a response here and sometimes no response is given at all. i would suggest posting your question here:
https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/new?source=need_more_help
I mean tho that one says 23 notifications a day of "data download" turn that off. that is likely it.
Ok, I'll give that a try, thanks

That might have done the trick, as soon as I turned it off, the notification disappeared from my shade. I'll give it a day or so, and report back. I must have missed that in my earlier messing around. Hopefully, it's cured?
COOL
It is likely the speech services trying to download your language files. It could be easily solved if that is the case and you connect to wifi then do what would make it happen again and give it time to download what it needs.
As a side-note turning off the notification is just masking the issue. if you really want to get to the root of the problem what i would do is look at running the stuff running and close them one by one, while also clearing each of their cache, and when you find out which one is causing it such as the google speech language download (which is very likely) then clear data to that app and be connected to wifi because otherwise it wont download.
I can report that the notification is no longer activated when typing in a search bar. So far, that's a good sign.

I thought it might be speech services as well at first, but then I remembered just yesterday I was getting a download for speech services and the notification actually said "speech services".
well it is a 334 mb file so give it enough time maybe. but yeah likely be resolved from being connected to wifi for a while maybe reboot while on wifi. but yeah turing that off should make it just stop telling you it need to download something.

Speech services is one of the first things I nuked when setting the device up. I'm not a fan. Could be due to my interest, hence search terms activate the download, but, I've turned off most of that stuff in other Google settings.
