How to get back to previous screen - LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Brand new to my V60.. For instance, when trying to log in to a bank, because it's a new device they send a code to messaging to make sure it's really me. When I leave the screen to retrieve the code, I can't figure out how to get back to the same screen I left to enter the code. It's very frustrating!!

I was using gesture, and didn't have the buttons visible. Now that I've had some time to play with my phone, I got that figured out!! Happy New Year. Thank you for your reply...

a suggestion... before you load your browser or bank app, open the message app in Pop-Up mode and then you can view messages in a tiny window while still using your banking app and typing the code.

Menu buttons...

Hello forum. I have a two day old Vibrant that's behaving unusually.
I'm trying to change the two middle menu buttons. I goto applications, but when I click menu, I only get "view type" and not the option to change the middle buttons.
I also read about a fast reboot by holding the power button for 8 seconds. When I did this, it powered down and wouldn't come back up. I pulled the battery and it booted into safe mode. It had a little text flag on the bottom left that said "safe mode". I didn't even know the phone had a safe mode.
Anyhow, does anyone have any suggestions on customizing those two middle buttons?
I haven't rooted just yet. I think I may wait for Froyo.

click view type then click customizeable grid
then click menu, then edit, then long hold the app that you want to put in the number 2 spot and drag it there, long hold the app you want to use in number 3 spot and drag it there.
then click menu->save
(the next step is optional, but it bugs me not to have stuff in alphabetical order.)
click menu, then view type, then alphabetical grid
And you are done, really a round about pain in the ass way to go about changing the number 2 and number 3 spot but.....thats all we got
And next time try searching and reading the stickies, specifically this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732458
go to the second post and look for "CHANGE THE DOCK BUTTONS ON TOUCHWIZ!"
Read through that entire post actually and you will find some great information.
Good luck!
Thank you very much. I searched for how to change menu buttons on the XDA App and I wasn't finding anything. This did it though and I'll read your link.thanks again.

[Q] b and n launch page lost

I am a simple nook tablet user that has accidently changed my launch homescreen away from b&n one and would just get it back since it is what im used to. Never thought to bookmark it and now cannot remember or find addy. Can someone please provide for me so i can reset my homepage. Thnkx
If you mean the BN Nook Book Store it's http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/NOOK-Book-eBook-store/379003094
web launch page
No I don't mean the store page. The page I am referring to is the one that was preset to come up when you clicked on the web button. It was a b and n page but also had the web search field as part of the page. Sorry to be a dork! Can't believe I never thought to book mark it!

Ok, this means you have an alternate launcher. Open the page with all your apps and look for one called "Home". That should be your stock home page If you can't find one called Home, look for "Home catcher". It's an app where you set what launcher to use when pressing "n".
Edit: Went and looked at rooted stock Tablet. Look in the bottom left corner of your home screen and there should be ymbols with 2 little houses. Touch there and you get a chance to switch to your Home, and also make it your default. "Quick switch" just switches, "Home Manager" let's you set your defailt.

Well, I don't have a clue what's going on! I must not understand you right.
If your device isn't rooted I don't get how the home page can be lost, and your talk about "bookmarking" it makes me extra confused. I associate "bookmark" with web page, and don't know how you could have bookmarked the home launch page
Sorry I couldn't help!
thank you

All I know is it had the same home page forever then somehow last night I was searching some recipes and must have hit something and suddently when I hit the web button on my home page it immediately opened to the food network! Have no idea what I did. I did not go to my settings page and change the home page but when I went there to check it now lists the food channel as my home page with no options to change. Since I have no bookmark to the original home page and cannot for the life of me remember the long page addy I have no idea how to get it back to where it was originally! thanks so much for trying to help! Maybe someone else will have an idea!
Could it be this one?

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for....
If you press and hold the screen, there is a shortcut arrow, click that and the next menu look for direct dial. That should take you to your contacts and as long as you have already have the persons picture in your contacts, touch the contact and the shortcut should be created.

Thanks, I wasn't sure which screen you meant. Turns out I have to go to my phone number Favorites. Long click on the person I want. At the bottom of the menu that pops up there is the arrow and, "add shortcut to home" message. If you have a pic with with the favorite number it goes with it. G

[MOD][XPOSED] Disable keyboard auto pop-up

Stop the keyboard opening itself when you open an app containing text fields
Download at the repo
enjoy!
Awesome thanks, that keyboard popup tends to annoy the crap out of me. I'll check this out.
Now I just wish I could find a mod which disables the unbelievably annoying and useless "continue searching for network" popup dialog which shows up every 30sec when I lose signal (riding the tunnel transit etc) on my S4. If anyone knows how to disable that let me know!
Nice module ! was looking for this for a long time
The keyboard however doesn't disappear automatically anymore when returning to home screen by pressing home button or when long pressing home key for recent apps. Could you fix this please?
Edit: found out that the keyboard just doesn't disappear automatically anymore whatsoever
Thank you.
It's not working well, first time after device restart when I run app with text field it was OK, but second time keyboard displays and stay also after returning to home screen, as Benny wrote.

What is your hardware? I'm trying to imagine the problem this fixes. My 4.4.4/Nexus 4/CWM Recovery/Rooted/TouchPal X doesn't open keyboard until I touch text field.

Hi there!
Does this module stops the keyboard being shown again when returning to the Hangouts contacts list?
I simply hate this. A lot of times when returning to the contacts list the keyboard (SwiftKey here) simply shows up even without any text field over there!
Yeah, the keyboard doesn't show up but it also doesn't disappear, @hamzahrmalik
When the keyboard is up and I press the home button the keyboard keeps showing and I have to press back to hide it
But awesome module and it's exactly what I was waiting for

Works pretty well. I would like to see the keyboard not auto pop up in google now, and in the play store. Those are the only 2 things I've found it still pops up in. I never realized how annoying the auto pop up of the keyboard was until I saw there was a way to disable it :silly:
Doesnt work with Facebook (comments)

Just noticed that. It used to, was the main reason I grabbed it. Keyboard popping up when you just want to read comments is annoying, and then you have to hit back twice.
For some reason my keyboard doesn't auto close anymore when I leave the app that had an active text field in it. I have to close the keyboard manually. Ps I'm using SwiftKey
Yes. I think this need to be update.
It not auto shown. But once I really in chat and enter. The keyboard still there and I need to press back again to close it.
If not I cannot see the buttom of the screen.

Hey, this is a nice module indeed!
But I was actually looking for the opposite. LOL
Could you develop a module to ensure that the keyboard always auto pops-up whenever a text field is available on the screen?
Thanks
Doesn't work with Textra
In Textra, I turn off the quick reply pop-ups because I want to see the entire thread, but then the keyboard pops up blocking most of it.
I do like this module, but I wish it would work with Textra as well.

Same problem for me JB 4.2.2
Doesn't work for me on Instagram. So irritating that when I click on someone's profile, then press back, the keyboard automatically pops up and shoots me straight back to the bottom of the comments, and I have to scroll aaaaaaaaall the way back up to get to where I was. Maybe not a problem for some people, but when I do art features every week and get 200 comments, it's a great hassle. I was hoping this module would eliminate the fact that I have to use 2 androids during features, but doesn't seem to work at all. Huawei Ascend Mate 2, 4.3 stock rom

[Q] Close phone from lock screen??

I constantly open my phone to check the time, hit the home key one handed and look at time on lock screen. But now I'm holding my phone by the bottom right corner and have dropped the phone before while trying to reach up and press the side button to close... it's a pain.
Sure I can sit there and wait for timeout, or I can put it back in my pocket, in which case it might "swipe open" and be doing all kinds of things while in there.
Wouldn't it be cool to look at the time and just click something, like the home button again, or the 'back button' and have the phone close again??
Anyone know how?

Are you rooted? If so using the home or back button could be possible via smali edit. If your not rooted, I can write an app that will show a square (size determined by you) that will show on your lock screen. When you tap this square, it will shut off the screen, tapping and moving your finger on the square will move the square. Square is removed once unlocked.

You can reassign one of the capacitive keys (e.g. "back button") to turn the display off with an Xposed framework module. And there are legions of apps that do similar actions if you do a search.
Even better IMO is to use a lock screen app like Dynamic Notifications which can automatically show you the time when you pull it out of your pocket and automatically turn off the screen as you put it back in a pocket. Without pressing any keys at all. It does this by using the proximity sensor and it works very well indeed.

They may not be running xposed. Therefore an xposed module may not work. Secondly, all lock screen apps suck. Also, if it's using the proximity sensor to turn on the display from your pocket, it's draining additional battery.

All lock screens suck? Your objectivity is astounding. No subjective bias there whatever. The idea is to provide options to the OP, not cater to your idiosyncrasies.
The battery draw for the suggested app is tiny, much less than most apps that do not poll the proximity sensor and you have no idea if the OP may or may not wish to use an Xposed module.

No lockscreen app can provide the same amount of security as the default lockscreen. Therefore, it sucks. I can and have gotten around all popular lockscreen apps on the play store. Yes, the idea is to provide options to the OP, but make them good options and practical options.
