How to set glowing wheel always on?

I am a new htc diamond user and found that the lighting scrolling wheel is kind of cool when the phone is charging.
So I am just wondering if there is a way to set the glowing wheel always on even it is not charging?
Thanks!

Why would you? less precious battery life!!!

well, i'm a sucker for lights in what shape they even come, i would serious consider to offer some battery-time for a constantly glowing "wheel"

Just call your phone and don't answer it...the wheel will light up when you miss a call or have a message!

or try "nueled" if you can find it.

only, be sure NOT to use the "Add" function, as it will mess up your Registry.

Weird.
I just tried it on the Bepe light rom, and there I cant use it at all.
It doesn't find the led.

Thanks so much guys. Really appreciate it!

HTC One vibration sound

Picked up this phone just today and my god I love this phone to death but every phone comes with complaints. Most things arent big and will just take time to get used to but this one I cannot ignore. I love having the vibrate on keypress option selected and the HTC One when it vibrates makes this very unpleasant loose spring like sound whenever it vibrates. Am I the only one thats noticed this or is this every device?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

many people do have this ... me too.... thats my second device and both of them got this crappy vibration sound...
i replaced it because of that .... but because of that i disabled every vibration functions on this phone to get rit of it ....
so i guess you have to live with it ... try to replace it and hope you get one with a good vibration motor or disable all vibrations

Isnt that due to the OIS? Not sure about but all of my 4 Ones had that. The One of a friend also sounds like that. I´m ok with it.

I'm sure there will be soon an option in custom roms to control vibration intensity, and put it to the value you like! it's only a matter of time, I'm sure!

[I'm sure there will I am currently facing the same issue with my replacement and thinking about replacing it again but hesitant because every device comes with its own minor defects, u only notice the alight clicking in a very quite environment and only on short vibrates such as when typing, but to be honest this is as perfect as it can get, everything seems to work with this device with no problems except this, and I might apply for a replacement and end up with a worst unit and another major issue, I have emailed HTC complaining about their quality control, cuz my first device had gaps and a tiny hair under the screen, my second device had a touchscreen problem and now this one which has a minor vibration sound.
The problem is I am too picky when it comes to this kind of stuff and a little ocd about them so I am positive that other people won't even notice the issue and even the repair tech might claim it's normal and in all devices. So yeah
my device is work related so giving it to them for 2 full days is kind of troublesome for me

add me to the list
I have had my HTC One for 2 days now. I too noticed this on mine. I just chalked it up to the phone being all aluminum case vs my old EVO was plastic/metal. I have a few other complaints too lol.
Ok the rants!
1. Why did you have to move all the buttons all over the place? Seems like every button is opposite to other android phones? Especially moving the power button to the far left? Who designed this? Must of been a left handed person. Come on at least compromise and put in the middle! Stupid!
2. Why limit to only 3 buttons at the bottom of the HTC one and in all actuality...you never enabled the "HTC" to be a button so we are stuck with 2! Most phones have at least 3! Again Stupid!
3. The Home button and back buttons. Ok maybe the person designed this drives on the wrong side of the road or goes in the exit door or something? The buttons need to be flipped in my humble opinion. Home first (left side) or at least in the middle, back button to the left or right sides. OH and bring back the quick access button!
4. Ok speaking of the "HTC" logo/button at the bottom. Why put in circuitry for it to be a button and then not enable it? Stupid #3!
5. The widgets for "Bluetooth", Wireless", "Mobile", and "GPS". Why light blue for the "on notification". Seems like a **** poor color choice. At least a green or red would be fairly noticeable considering the widget itself is blue? Hello.....great designing there.
6. The power button. More recessed then ever before making it difficult to push down or even find. No step up here.
7. Lock screen can only have 1 widget on it? Really? Wow...couple steps back here.
8. Full animated weather locking screen gone/no longer available because HTC forces you to use their one and ONLY ONE version their crappy line art weather on the lock screen. I don't mind the plain jane weather for showing up in the app list but placing it on the bottom of the lock screen with nothing else is horrible. I want my weather back to the lock screen. I know I have mentioned it a lot...sorry pet peeve, have it it so long on all my other phones.
9. I won't mention Blinkfeed. I have that pushed off the side and hear that sense 5.5 is around the corner which will allow you to finally turn the damn thing off.

Hey guys, I wanted to point out that you can reduce the vibration intensity, therefore getting rid of the "springy" feeling! Just download FauxClock. (Yes you need root of course). Gratefully this app doesn't require you to flash anything, it just needs BusyBox. The only downside to reducing the intensity is after so far you basically lose haptic feedback. (I wanted to reduce notification buzz.) And this is where I went with plan B.
Plan B (NO ROOT!): This method, you guys, will make you feel real dumb for not thinking of. Personally I did this to get rid of notification buzz but keep haptic feedback, but you can also just turn off buzz on certain apps. Simply open up App-ops on Android 4.3, go through all your apps, and untick the "Vibration" permission! That's it guys! Feel dumb now?
Note: to open App-ops is an activity, you can download App-ops launchers from Play Store or, in my case, I used a Tasker task.

[Q] Z3c screen response very poor

Hi guys! All new to this site. I just got a z3c and everything is really great, but for 2 things:
The screen response is so poor, that if it can't be fixed, I'm returning it. Deal breaker.
Whenever I tap something, the screen responses in about 1 second. That is too long. Way too long.
Any of you tried the "Don't tap the white tile" app? (it's a game, where you have to be fast on your fingers) If you have (or you think, that your phone is NOT slow, please give it a go)
The swiping seems to be ok, it's the tapping that's delayed!
I'm hoping that it's just my phone and it can be replaced, 'cause otherwise I will have no choice, but to find another one.
Also is it not possible for me, to decide wether or not an app can have acces to internet? On iPhones you can manually dissable every app from using the internet, both wifi and regular. This can also prove to be a deal breaker for me.
I hope you can help me to find out if I should keep this, apart from that stuff, really wonderful phone or if I have to go back to iPhone, which I don't want to actually.
Regards Kokinos, Denmark

"Whenever I tap something, the screen responses in about 1 second." - that is definitely not normal. I am playing Wordz and screen response is instant.
There are many apps to control permission (e.g. Internet) for individual apps, but it requires root - APP OPS is the best. But you might try this, which works without root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netspark.firewall&hl=en or this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.permissionmanager&hl=en

Thanks a lot, Dave! I'm so pleased to hear that, I will take it to the store and ask for a replacement then
-funny thing is, if I tap really hard, as in so hard the pixels round my finger turn black and I'm holding on to the phone with the other hand so tight, that it's on the verge of breaking, it IS possible to get the phone to react a, almost, once.
But swipe seems to work alright. I can't understand that. I actually thougt it was a software flaw and not a hardware one. But maybe I'm wrong.
I'll read into your links. My boyfriend might be able to understand a little more of it, so he'll help me

Nobody, that have noticed a delay on tapping, but not swiping?
Anybody I can convince to try the "Don't tap the white tile" game? It's free. I can play it fine on a iPhone, but on my Z3c the screen doesn't react fast enough. Unless I tap so hard, the pixels around my finger turn black and that can't be healthy for the phone.
It's not, that this game is important, it's just, that it shows very accurate, wether your sceen has delay or not.

That white tile game is the piano kind of game from Cheetah game studios? In case I just tried it and no issues with the screen response while tapping. It's more likely that you have a faulty device :/

I cant imagine why your phone isnt working properly , cross your fingers the store you are trying to return it to doesnt read this forum.

Thanks for your not so helpfull comment. I would certainly NOT have pressed that hard, if it weren't for the fact, that I either would return it or have a replacement. Luckily I'm located in Denmark. We have excellent consumer rights. Otherwise I would be stupid to have done so.

Use of the G Watch R button

I'm hoping in future developments/releases we may see some changes with the touch screen/button behaviour. Perhaps this may only come through Kernel Dev or an app (maybe). The issue I have found since owning the watch is accidental activation of the touch screen when on the move, especially when exercising (rain and/or jacket cuffs).
Would love to see touch the screen activated with a press of the button, not the screen itself. This would almost eliminate accidental presses, and inherently reduce battery consumption.
Perhaps I'm the only one with this problem? Interested to hear what other LG watch R users think?

Theater mode?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

That works well, of course for my exercise app I do have to swipe a couple of times after pressing the button to get to the detail, but this is a good workaround. Thanks

isn't theater mode turning off notifications also?

That's correct and its far from perfect, but at least it stops the accidental touches.
What would be great is screen touch ability after button activation, thus creating a child lock (irrespective of screen on or off) and allowing notifications. Cinema just goes a little too far and turns the screen off which renders quick viewing useless.
I'm hoping in the future this smart watch will be a little smarter.

When I am working out, I never feel/notice notification vibrations.
I usually have on a headset and set the phone to normal volume profile. So I hear the notifications.

With "Vibration Notifier" you still have vibration for notification from app selected. Screen not light up but watch vibrate even in Theater mode.

I did look at this but haven't tried. I've noticed someone else has raised the question on feedback regarding unlocking using the button. I will email the dev and try the app.

TBH I didn't get on well with the app, a nice idea but even with the customisations it got in the way of the watches quick open/view/close plus points.
regarding feedback - I didn't hear anything back, perhaps I will check for updates in the future.
I love the watch but I do feel Android Wear has been rushed.

Thank you for letting us know. Hopefully Google is working on something simillar but more refined as I could see this being very useful. I kind of know what you mean about the rushed feeling, I guess that's the cost for us early adopters.

Flip to lock phone?

In addition to "Do Not Disturb" when flipping the phone over, facing down. Is there a way to also immediately lock the phone?

You can hold the power down and select "Lockdown" (this has to be enabled in display settings first).

I need it to be automated when flipping the phone over. I often leave my phone at my desk and I don't want it to be immediately accessible.

What do you mean lock the phone? After a set amount of seconds it auto locks, face up or face down.

You are correct, the phone auto locks. I have it set to 15 seconds. I need the phone to lock immediately, regardless of the auto lock time.

Tap the power button and off it goes. If you are in a work environment where if you walk away for 5 seconds and your phone is at risk of being compromised either you need to find another job (lol) or never leave the phone on the desk. That's some serious personal insecurity right there.

The easy answer is something like Tasker to look at the gyro, ambient brightness and the proximity sensor but I don't know offhand if that requires root to lock your screen.

That probably is the EASIEST answer, but if you can flip your phone to make it turn off sound, lock, and maybe launch the sound recorder (for example), you have a discrete, potentially automatic meeting transcriber that's pretty much thoughtless.

Food for thought. But perhaps you might want to think of another device to do those things. Why would you even want a phone for those functions? A little recorder would do that with no compromise of your personal data. Pull it out of your pocket, put it on the table like a phone and you got your spy device. Phone locked away in your pocket.
Or a shortcut to the sound recorder, lock the phone, face down on the table. Unless you're an agent of some sort then you need to talk with your superiors and design something. Fun convo though.

It's fun hearing others' points of view!
But I'm thinking convenience; you've already got a phone and, with the Pixel 4's live transcription and text search, it could make for a powerful tool in this circumstance, as niche as it might be.

Yes it would. But now you're talking about automating a few different actions one of which is disabling sounds and another locking the screen. Then starting a task of recording and then turning off if the storage gets full without deleting previous recordings. All without user input. I'm not sure a phone was designed to do that. At least not these.
I suspect there are devices that can do that but that might be clandestine type stuff we are not privy to. But maybe a Tasker procedure could handle that? I don't know.

You would want a device that would start recording once voices are heard, and stop after a few minutes of silence.

I do work in an area that contains sensitive information. People entering have to leave their phones at the front desk with the phone muted. I just want to ensure that when I hand over the phone, face down, that it is immediately and automatically locked from anyone else. Simplifying that process would be great!
Please don't question the logic or rationale of my work area.

The XML here can be imported to Tasker to do what you're describing. You may find that you'll need to tweak it to better fit your usage/device, but the skeleton here should be a good starting point.
