I find the Bionic's shutdown menu's "Sleep" option quite handy, and was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to emulate/execute this action either from the command line?
Even an app that could perform this action, which could be incorporated into a Tasker profile to do this would be excellent.
Thanks.

If there's an app for it, there's gotta be a command. Idk it though
I just looked around and found that the SpareParts+ app has an option to set the "red button" to put your phone to sleep.

Thanks for the reply.
So I was following your lead on SpareParts+, but I'm at a loss as to what it means by "red button"... I'm guessing a hardware "call end" button that we don't have on the Bionic?

idk dude, i didn't look for the "red button"
you should look into it.
Thanks but the spare parts thing is no help.
Anyone else have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks.
Resurrecting this thread, still wondering if anyone knows if/how to accomplish this, preferably from command line without additional software...? Thanks.

Anyone come across any fixes for the fact that (a) there is no LED indicator telling you that you have a message; and (b) there is no pointer/curser/trackball?
I tried NOLED app from the market, but thought it was useless.
NOLED is probably the only "fix" you are going to find for notifications. Android is a touch screen OS, why on earth would you need a pointer?
The trackball on the N1, for instance, is super helpful when typing.

So you didn't notice your phone didn't have a pointing device when you bought it?

Haha maybe he thought it it had some weird gesture area like the crappy Pre or something.

ON topic, mate a lot of keyboard apps for android include a d-pad option which will let you accurately simulate a cursor/trackball.
No LED notifications is a bummer. Strange how people with iphones are not annoyed by that! Something like sms popup can be set to periodically vibrate to remind you etc. No real solution there Im afraid!
There was some dev work on getting the backlight touch buttons to blink but work seems to have hit a dead end.
Ozy: thanks for the helpful reply!!

No worries. For now, look for updates to these two links (I appreciate youve already tried NOLED but it can only get better )

Thanks! It's weird. I can't get NOLED to work on the Captivate. In any event, the backlight option is brilliant!

Meh. I was always irritated by the notification LED on my MT3G. I love that my Vibrant doesn't have any blinkenlites.

There is a dpad on the Samsung and swype keyboards. Hole the 123 key on S. And drag between the two bottom left keys in swype.

This second link is exactly what ive been looking,
I think the LEDs at the bottom would make perfect notification lights,
Is there any more news on this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Heh, its the ideal solution, except theres not really a solution at the moment. Drivers have now been made public (or so Im led to believe). so Im hoping to see it come along side Cyanogen Mod.
Theres an online petiotion that can be signed regarding some dev work for this. At the moment, theres like 350+ signatories....now if everyone chipped in $5 ......
for the D-pad just slide from the "S" sybmbol in the lowwer left of the keyboard to the "sym" key directly next to it (using swype, not the samsung keyboard). a directional pad pops up and it has backspace, backspace by full word, delete, cut, copy, paste, select all, page up, page down, home and end, and a "tab" key, though i don't know if it works like tab of if it is just a large space for starting paragraphs.
samsungs keyboard also has something similar if you hold the key to the numbers/symbols for three seconds.

Wow. Thanks! Dolphin HD, LiveJournal, and text entry don't get along so well for some reason; it never puts the cursor where I tap when I want to go back and edit text. So I'm extremely happy to hear there are arrows on the Swype keyboard! The trackpad and GPS were the only two things I was still missing from my Aria, and you just remedied the former.
Though now I feel silly for not figuring it out myself!
Too be honest I only knew about it from a review I read but they didn't explain how to do it, after a few days of messing with it I found it in the swype tutorials

Not sure if this has been posted before, but for reference, here's two lovely commands for your Revo4g.
Please note! Not all of the commands in the menus are safe-- in fact, just plain ol assume that these menus can totally mess up your phone in a way not even LG understands.
If you don't know what you're doing, don't mess with them!
With that said, here they are.
Open the dialer, and dial:
VZW Hidden Menu
##program910
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
LG Hidden Menu
##lgservicemenu
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When prompted for a code, just enter zeroes until the dialogue box goes away. I didn't count how many...
I still need to finish analyzing the apps, but it looks like one could possibly enable some 'features' (*cough* tethering) if one pressed buttons in the correct order leading to a DUN MIP change
Good luck! Don't brick your device!
in LG Hideen Menu>data
there is Enable "Admin Data".....what could that be?
EDIT: Just a thought, does this have anything to do with the "Device Admin Settings" shortcut you can add with a long press on a homescreen?

You can actually set a shortcut to these in either launcher pro or adw I seem to recall. That will give you easy access to the features.

LG Revolution hidden menu's
Anyone know how to open the puk menu on the LG Revolution?
Sounds like it's time for some IRC collaboration to figure out what all these fun little options do.
Any clue on how to open puk menu?
Tried to do a search but can't really find anything that matches. My friend had a blackberry and he was showing me the action logs on it which shows what has been clicked and press or what/when apps had been ran/installed, etc. Something quite similar to like in windows event viewer or file auditor.
I was wondering if we have such apps. I am not talking about catlog and all those logging stuffs as they display way too much things.
Nearest that i can get are those spy logging apps which doesnt really serve the purpose here.
Any ideas guys?

So i conclude there really isnt any apps that do this out there for android?

You might get the response you're after if you post or search in the android general forum. Its not really an incredible s specific question.
I love that you can open apps using the "OK Google" feature but the one I probably want to do this with most is Waze while I am driving. I just can't get the right wording to get it to open.
Showing how I pronounce it and what I get
Wayss - Way's
WayZee - Way Z
Wazeee - Waze z
Waaaass - whats
Any suggestions.
Try "open app waze." That works for me.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
I can't find where I saw this, but I read of someone using a program that made shortcuts and such into actual custom apps. They gave that a unique name, and opening that "app" was ultimately just a redirect into opening Waze.
I know that's very little to go on, but this is XDA, someone else might be able to fill in the blanks

Unable to locate a "Do Not Disturb" software option. Substitute app preference?
I know that we have that button on the side but I'll have to remember each night. i'll miss it sooner or later lol. If anyone knows of an app it would be appreciated.

Hola
Thanks for the feedback, I was literally looking into this like a few minutes ago, and I figured that they removed it due to the physical slider like you mentioned. IMHO, that is rather daft... like the OP I want an automated schedule available to me.
I'll have to look into an app if no know replies soon with a recommendation.
Thanks.
