[Q] Lockscreen Weather Units? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On the latest JB rom, the lockscreen has the option to display the weather. However its in metric. Is there an option somewhere to change it to english units? I've gone through every menu I can find and found nothing.

Thanks. Man I feel dumb now. I swear I was in that menu like 10 times pressing on stuff.

Clock to digital (XX:XX)

How do I make the clock in display digital time instead of AM/PM mode?
Can't find the setting anywhere!
Using SwiftBLs rom v 5.5...
Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings and choose your region.
Changing regional settings requires a softreset afterwards.

i think you intended to say:
Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings > Time > Time Style
..
That method didn't work for me .. I ended up changing the registry setting
HKLM\nls\overrides\ITime
Thanks a bunch, works for me!!
Easy method is just to go into the time section of regional settings and simply delete the AM & PM option.

Force of habit for me, can't stand the am/pm malarky so I just delete the text option on all things that have it. It's not that brute force tbh, just remove the text from the drop down box and if you ever want it back then just type it back in
I've got a problem with my clock in TF now too - and I've not installed any new software or tweaked anything.
All of a sudden it's in 24hr (which I want) but without a leading zero. Also when I go 'back home' very briefly I see an AM/PM symbol on the zero before it flips over to the current time.
I've searched everywhere, reset my phone, regional settings from something else back to UK, looked in the tls registry entry but can't find anything that will put it back to the HH:mm format.
Any ideas? Will reinstalling TF work do you think?
i think it is once again:
Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings > Time > Time Style (see post #3)
try and let us know..
Unfortunately this doesn't work either as there is only one setting there. I've even tried reinstalling Manila.
It's bizarre. I get HH:mm after 12pm but in the morning it's showing as H:mm rather than HH:mm - plus there is a small AM on the first digit. All as if Manila thinks it should show 12hr time in the AM and then 24hr time in the PM!
It's telling the time so I suppose it's no biggie but it's not what I'm used to and I don't know why it's just suddenly doing it and I can't fix it.
The clock on the taskbar is correct which makes it even more weird.
Anyone know of any other reg settings to force a fix?

Root your phone and flash CM7
This is asn app that works really well and does not need you to have a rooted phone...about as close as you can get without rooting. Used it for a while with my Nexus s until the nightlies starting running. Not quite as good as CM7 but a really good alternative!
'Power Control Plus' on AppBrain: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.siriusapplications.eclairwidgets
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I prefer to use Quick Settings, search for it on appbrain (I can't post links as newish account, but long time android user)
I like it because it can be configured to look like a dialogue box on top of the app that is currently open (menu -> preferences -> appearance -> Dialog). Also you can hide the notification bar icon so it doesn't clutter the bar up (menu -> preferences -> Status bar shortcut -> Add & hide icon).
I prefer it over Power Control Plus because its free, and you can access it anywhere, and not just from the home screen. for custom Power widgets i also prefer Widgestsoid 2.X (again search on appbrain for same reasons)
but that requires more set up to make a "power" widget.
Hope you like more choices!

[Q] Navbar Refuses to Hide on Lockscreen (WidgetLocker)

Hi,
I am currently using WidgetLocker as my default lockscreen and it is working well, stock lockscreen isn't showing at all etc., but one MAJOR drawback. I can't get the Navbar (softkeys?) to minimize on the lockscreen. Its probably just an easy fix and I'm somehow missing it, any ideas?
Have you disabled it in the settings? If I remember correctly, there's 2 places in the settings to do that.... which is weird.
Try:
Settings > Buttons & Gestures
Also try:
Settings > Look & Feel
As for the Nav bar/softkeys .... I dunno.
Good Luck.
Temp Fix.

I found a temporary fix. For some reason if you select allow home on the lock screen it minimizes on the lockscreen...
If you swipe up from the bottom though, you can go home without unlocking.

no lock screen setting after 4.3 update!!

hi guys
I just updated my HTC ONE to 4.3 version, but surprisingly i couldn't find the lock screen setting any more! it used to be in setting>personalize,
but now its not there or anywhere in the settings!! anyone knows where it should be?
It was removed in the 4.3 update.

so it meant to be removed?

The option was removed, you can't have the lockscreen settings, and you can't change the wallpaper or choose will ls apply.
But some of this feature will be in the Final release of the ViperOne.
Like they mentioned, this option is removed but you can go to:
Settings -> Security -> Notification Settings (4th option from top to bottom)
And in here you can choose what you want to be displayed in your lockscreen, the options are Phone (missed calls), Voice Mail, Text messages, Emails and calendar events.
apart from this, I believe the lockscreen widgets are always accessible if you swipe from the right corner and cannot be disabled... I think, so in a way you have almost all the functionality and "options" of the lockscreen choice you had in past sense versions.
Hope this helps!

Themes / Apps / Mods [App] Fix of buggy proximity sensor - Locking screen from being pressed during phone call

Note: app compatible with any phone with 1080x2400 screen or lower. Probably higher too, try it. Also it's impossible to make such block when talking in messengers (more precisely, it's difficult). App won't work without gapps, rare case.
Instead of classic reliable optical sensor we have sucky ultrasonic one.
Sometimes it does not turn off the screen while phone call and something is pressed with ear or cheek up to dropping call.
Popular workaround is app "Call Proximity Sensor Fix" which automatically turns off the screen. Or you can press the power button immediately after the answer.
But IMHO this is inconvenient because if you need to look at something on the screen it will not turn on by itself which is so familiar.
My simple application makes screen insensitive to taps. And unlike analogs soft buttons and status bar are blocked too (but not gestures).
On screen will be translucent button that disables lock if you need to use the phone:
– Long tap on button - unlock (button will turn green)
– Short tap when unlocked - lock again
– Long tap when unlocked - remove button at all so as not to interfere with e.g. for entering text
When second call comes in screen will automatically unlock so you can easily answer or hang up. Then it blocks again.
When manually launching the application there will be a question whether to enable 4 seconds delay for an outgoing call. So you able to choose SIM card.
Made by powerful Tasker, the project was exported as standalone application via App Factory. Implemented via scenes with new full-screen blocking type.
Location of button adapted for default AOSP / Google Dialer. It can be misplaced for third-party dialers and / or interface scale. It's impossible to cover all possible variants. So if it really bothers you, install Tasker and project below. Then change coordinates of the buttons.
Installation
Follow manual carefully, otherwise nothing will work.
Application is safe and doesn't have internet access.
1. Download APK below this post
2. Install it via file manager and launch
3. Answer the question about delay, decision can be changed later by launching app again
4. Open Settings > Apps & Notifications > In-Call Screen Lock
5. In "Notifications" turn off them all completely, otherwise they will be annoy you
6. In "Permissions" enable everything: Contacts, Call List and Phone
7. MIUI: right there in application settings enable "Autostart"
8. MIUI: and in "Background" select "No restrictions"
9. Custom: Settings > Apps & Notifications > Advanced > Special app access > Battery optimization > All apps > In-Call Screen Lock > Don't optimize
10. Custom: Settings > Apps & Notifications > Advanced > Special app access > Display over other apps > In-Call Screen Lock > Allow display over other apps
11. MIUI: Settings > Privacy > Management > Special app access > Display over other apps > In-Call Screen Lock > Allow display over other apps
12. Settings > [MIUI: Advanced settings] > Accessibility > In-Call Screen Lock > enable "Use In-Call Screen Lock"
If you using Tasker
1. Download ZIP archive below this post
2. Extract file from it to phone/Tasker/projects
3. Tap on "House" icon at the bottom > Import Project > In-Call_Screen_Lock
4. If you don't need a delay on an outgoing call: delete / disable action #3 ("Wait") from the "In-Call Lock Start" task
5. Custom: Settings > Apps & Notifications > Advanced > Special app access > Display over other apps > Tasker > Allow display over other apps
6. MIUI: Settings > Privacy > Management > Special app access > Display over other apps > Tasker > Allow display over other apps
7. Settings > [MIUI: Advanced settings] > Accessibility > Tasker > enable "Use Tasker"
UPD: files updated, fixed small bug.

No.
Tested now on my RN10-pro... works just fine! Thank you!
Tested without gapps and it didn't work. I use the standard phone app from Arrow OS. I do all settings from your instruction.
There was no 4 seconds query of the sim card. The and no lock screen button.

Unfortunately, APK's exported by Tasker always have dependencies from GMS no matter actions it should perform. Sorry, I can't fix that.
I reinstal Arrow with Gapps and Install tasker. IT works great! Thx a lot! Now ist this Phone uesable.
Great application. Tested it via Tasker and works. Thank you so much!
Small question, if you do use the power button while in call to lock the screen and you unlock it again and then use your unlock button, it unlocks but the button disappears so you can't lock it again. How do I get the button back then?
Note: sensors are automatically calibrated and sometimes this creates a problem.
To cleanup and recalibrate the sensors, all you need to do is this:
Bash:
# dd if=/dev/block/by-name/persistbak of=/dev/block/by-name/persist conv=notrunc
For me that solved everything on official MIUI V13.0.12.0 (and previously on V12.5.9.0).

That's strange. I tested as you wrote and button visible, nothing in profile logic should block its appearing. I used clean Android 11 and AOSP dialer.
As possible workaround please test this: Tasker > tab "Scenes" > Lock On > tap on lock icon > tab "Long tap" > action "Show Scene" > tick "Block Overlay+"

That's legit for classic sensor, but I'm doubt, that ultrasonic store its calibration data there (if even have it). "Sensor" unreliable just by design.

Thanks for the information. Tested it and ticking the block overlay + fixes the issue. I guess it's because even though I'm able to tap the icon and other call icons the phone is still locked. I guess the overlay + makes sure that the lock off scene is still visible on the "lock" screen. I'm on Samsung One UI 4.1 with the native Google dialer.
Thanks for the help.

ultrasonic sensor can be even manually calibrated and the calibration is indeed stored and used.
Also: the ultrasonic sensor works in software, relying also on the position and angle of the phone.
If that measurement fails or is inaccurate, everything is ruined.
Trust me: try to do a fastboot flash of V13.0.12.0 then reset that partition as I said.
Then you can tell me if it improves or not.
For me now it works perfect both in DUO both in the stock dialer and messenger.
