Switch off Backlight

Hello,
since I startet using several GPS-Tools, I discovered that it can be pretty engergy consuming because the backligh does not switch off if the device is locked, it just dimmes down.
Is there any way, maybe a registry-hack (but please no background running 3rd party app), to make the device switch it off entirely?
Thanks in advance

Has nobody any ideas?

Use psShutXP it has a turn off screen option.

Do you have a download link for it?

Nexus News/Weather widget problem...

I love this widget, best news widgets I've used. I love how it scrolls through all the top news stories, the problem is the scrolling doesn't continue if the phone goes to sleep. I dont know if its normal or not. Anyone here using this widget and having the same issue? After I re-add the widget to the homescreen or if I restart Launcher Pro it scrolls beautifully, then the phone goes to sleep and just stays on one news story after I wake it up.

I didn't know that the widget allowed you to scroll.

The auto scrolling of the news topic, not physical scrolling. Sorry for the confusion.

Bump, anyone?

Probably your WiFi disconnects, when your phone goes to sleep..then no more news can be loaded.

Anyway to fix that?

do u mean that the scrolling stops after u wake the phone up or that it isnt scrolling when its asleep?
to check wifi settings->wireless and networks -> wifi settings -> press the settings key on the phone -> advanced -> wifi sleep policy

The scrolling stops after I wake up the phone
Ive tried on wifi and on 3g and still the same.

Exact same problem here (but on EVO), totally unable to resolve it. Please post if anyone finds a solution.

Same problem on my galaxy s. The news stop rolling after the screen is turned off... I use the transparent one. Pls if anyone can find a solution pls post it cause i love this widget...

hi,
any idea if it s possible to get the apk of this widget for install it on another device?

Yes it is, i'm not allowed to post link although the .apk has been posted in the XDA forums. Just google geniewidget.apk and you'll find it.
I use it on my galaxy s, with the aforementioned problems.

hi,
i just found it and installed it
works like a charm, except, because the default language (and only available) of my device is english, i can t get french news like i use to have on nexus.
any idea if i can force it somewhere?
thxx for your help

Maybe if you give a french key word on the custom topic tab, it will search for french news.give it a try.

Too bad about the scrolling. Let the dev know.
For weather I use Snowstorm. Shows the weather wherever I am for the next 24 hours in 6 hour icons. Perfect, although must be installed internally or the widget is lost by Android.

well, when i use a french word as keyword, it search it in english news website....

this one did not work better on my SGS and it's not the tranparent version as well.

I don't have this problem. Try to clear the app data under settings/applications/manage

I've already tried this but no result. But today i found what's the cause of the problem.I have flyscreen installed and i use it as an locksreen replacement. So whenever the screen unlocks without passing through sgs's default locksreen it stucks! Strange thing but true! When i deactivate the option to replace lockscreen everything works like a charm.

[Q] Hao to calibrate accelerometer...

Hi,
using the app GPS Status, in addition to gps info, it shows data relating the inclination of both axis.
Using it, i've seen that it isn't calibrated... when it is completely horizontal, the app shows a certain value, and the orange ellipse isn't on the centre... in order to get the zero reading (ellipse on the centre) I have to inclinate the mobile a little to the left side.
Hoq can I calibrate it?
Regards.

Well, it seems to be fine right now... i don't know.
Anyway, it would be interesting to know how to calibrate it, or at least a way to check it.

hy, u can calibrate it if u have acces to hidden menu. To activate you need to create a shortcut to this hidden menu. You can do this with most replacement launchers and apps like BetterCut.
Example using LauncherPro (others will use a similar method):
1.Long press on home screen
2.Select Shortcuts
3.Select Activities
4.Scroll down to and expand com.lge.hiddenmenu
5.Select HiddenMenu (first entry)
6.Enter Shortcut name
7.Click on shortcut to launch
8.Hit 'Thanks' below )

Hidden Menu can be launched by USSD code: 277634#*#

I have to rise back this thread.
My LG Black is showing an offset of 0.600 and 0.400 on either the y and x axis.
I've tried everything that shows up on google. No sucess.
Has anyone had success on calibrating the accelerometer/g-sensor?
The compass works perfectly, FIY.
Every app and game that relies on the g-sensor is messed up, because I have to lean the phone to the left to get perfect horizontal.
Thanks
Nuno

For me a workaround was to make sure the app I want notifications from is running, then press the recents button and find the app on the list, then swipe the app down, it will only move a little way then spring back and also obtains a small padlock icon.
You will probably also need to go to the settings menu and find either protected apps or app settings (depends if you are using the Lollipop version or the Marshmallow beta) and enable the setting for the app which makes it stay awake when the phone sleeps.

Thanks so so much. I try this out

You have tomark the app to run in background...
this is no bug it is an energy saving feature.
the device has a stock white list of apps allowed to run in background.
but normally you re asked if an app should be able to run in background or not.
any app that is not allowed to will be closed immediately in standby

I've tried all of the above and still was missing viber notifications. Then I disabled Phone Manager and this sorted out the problem completely.

Wouldn't you need to root the phone and then use an app like TitaniamBackup to disable it?

Bad experience with the new One UI update

After the update, those 2 useless bars appeared I've tried to find every setting to turn them off but I can't find any (I already looked in the Edge Screen and all those advanced function settings) nothing helps
Please help me Thank you!
P/s: its function is Back, but I don't need 2 extra Back! My nav works fine!
(Solved) it turns out that the One Hand Operation+ app causes this, I uninstalled it and they are gone

Its been removed i guess, if you haven't cleaned your phone after a major update, now would be a good time for that.

I dont have the issue, i haven't factor reset too. Few people have it and it was solved by reset. It is highly advisable to factory reset. Those lines are actually a navigation gesture. If you swipe download from the line, it acts as back button and swipe straight horizontally to go to home. Swipe upwards for recent apps.
Make backup using smart switch and use google to sync game progress.
