[Q] Compass warning notification can't be disabled? - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Activated my HTC One yesterday and I love it so far, huge upgrade for me coming from an Epic 4G. I'm having an issue with the Compass Warning notification though, at least I think that's what the notification icon is (compass logo with a line through it). I have the Compass warning option in the Location setting unticked, but it seems to have no effect.
Any ideas guys?
edit: Forgot to mention, I'm on the stock sprint/htc rom, no root.

That is your gps icon and the only way to remove it is to flash a custom rom

Or to wait for the 4.2.2 update.

Hah, oops.
Thanks for clarifying.
Haven't used the GPS yet, but I'm thrilled to finally have a phone with one that consistently works properly.

[Q] TrickDroid and lock screen sensitivity

Morning everyone
I am currently running TrickDroid 5.5.1 and i seem to be having a problem with the lock screen. It is very sensitive for some reason. When i mean sensitive, i mean and touch of the lock screen will unlock the phone. This is a problem because many time when receiving a phone call any swipe on the screen will answer it.
Does anyone know of a fix or have a similar issue ?
Thanks
Not really having that problem here, it's always been sensitive even stock.

Its a new bug that came with the new baseband that most ROMs use. Neither Trickdroid or ARHD devs will acknowledge it though. Seems like most people dont care??
Pretty big bug if I say so myself.

That's not a solution. Apps require accessibility to utilize Android fully. Lockscreen worked fine before the new update, and should continue to work the way it was intended whether you have Accessibility options enabled/disabled.
The pessimist in me doesn't see this bug getting fixed anytime soon.
This isn't a problem with the custom roms. This problem also exists in the stock rom. When any accessibility service is enabled the lock screen unlocks with a single touch. HTC doesn't consider this a bug and says it is designed that way for blind users.

I'm not sure what you mean that it isnt a problem with custom roms... because this bug was active when I used ARHD and Trickdroid a week ago.
HTC is dumb....
Back to my N4.
I said the problem isn't caused by trickdroid or ARHD

My apologies, that makes more sense now.
Yep, it isnt caused by custom roms..... its a base issue from HTC.
Hopefully, a smart developer can fix this and incorporate it into their rom...
You can mostly overcome this problem by using Tasker and secure settings to enable accessibility settings when the screen state is off and disable them when the screen state is on.
This works for me but isn't 100% reliable and I still get the one touch unlock and unwanted call answers occasionally.
I hope HTC will fix this but they don't seem to even acknowledge it's a bug.

all they need to implement is a setting to turn their stupid "feature"off. i swear, there's always something with android...

Has anyone successfully got a transparent lock screen? i want to use a live wallpaper and i want it to be able to be seen when i use lock screen while using the LOCK and UNLOCK effect of stock LG Lock screen... I am not trying to use a 3rd party lock screen unless there is one with the same unlock animations. I have Gravity Box and XBLAST tools installed but cannot seem to make it work.

hahaha... you have custom rom? how is this possible?
Cm11. Built. Not fully functional though. No phone no sound. But its got data now. And it boots. Still working on it. I've gotten it as far as I can go everything else is over my head. I sent it back to playful god when he gets better (been sick) he's gonna see what he can do.

Anyone noticed that Additonal Information (weather , pedometer) no longer show 4.4.4?

Just noticed this today. I did use a rooted 4.4.4 rom using safestrap to get to 4.4.4.
I have it checked in Lock Screen settings, even rebooted a couple of times. Wondering if anyone else has this problem as well?

I am having the same problem. I updated OTA and am running stock with no root and still nothing has shown up. I like the new fingerprint sensor animations though!
Me too.. It disappeared after 4.4.4 OTA update, even though the options are checked to show in Lock Screen.
Also can't make the weather widget transparent...

I got the pedometer to work by turning off Additional Information in Quick Settings - Lock Screen and turning the phone completely off and rebooting.
Turning Additional Info back on and turning completely off and restarting. Weather you have to go into weather settings and Use Current Location checked for it to now show on the lock screen.
Not sure why I didn't figure this out yesterday. Perhaps not enough coffee in my system lol.
Also Widget Transparency seems to be working fine.

Thanks this worked.. I tried this earlier but did't work where i restarted instead of complete power off.
Does any one able to set ART instead of Dalvik?
Anytime i set this it resets back to Dalvik only.

Did anyone notice constant "Searching using GPS" notification after Lollipop update

Did anyone notice constant "Searching using GPS" notification after Lollipop update
Hi guys,
I have Note 4 Exynos version N910C and I have just received OTA Lollipop update for my region. After update everything was ok until the day before yesterday when I needed to change the sim, so it was the first restart after the update. After restart I noticed that there is constant "searching using GPS" notification when I am in the building and seems to went out when I am outside, which means there is some app is constantly searching for GPS and it also seem to drain my battery. So I was inspecting in the settings under Location saw that Yahoo weather which I use as lock screen has reported high battery usage. So tried to clear the app data and voila....the notification went of and everything seem to be at normal. Then I tried to restart the phone and the notification displays again and remain again constant. So now after each restart I have to clear data from Yahoo weather to turn off the "searching using GPS" notification and for my phone not drain the battery. I think it might be some flaw in Yahoo weather after Lollipop update. I did not do factory reset after OTA update so the problem might be because of that.
Just wanted to share for someone who might face the same issue.
I had it on the 910F. Turned off that option for that app. User daemon? I think it was called. Check GPS log. They say by clearing it's cache it'll fix it. But I disabled it as I don't use the widget.
I think that's the Unified daemon which provides data to samsung apps like location for weather.
Yes. That's the one. I have it disabled and it worked wonders. GPS works perfectly, except for that widget.

No need to be rooted. Find it in options. Location. And there it will be with high under its usage. Everything else should be low....
Well that sucks for us that use the widget...
just remember that when you disabled it, you wont get the latest or regular weather update in your note 4.
I've noticed that since the lollipop update I lose the last known position on the GPS. This is used to get a fast fix. So after a reboot I need to go outside to get a GPS fix. Over I've got the first fix the subsequent fixes are sick, even indoors. It's like the GPS is not using a-GPS or Wi-Fi location based services to get an approximate fix to speed up the first fix.

Signal strength indicator missing from status bar

I have a galaxy s10 and recently just purchased a galaxy watch active. Somewhere after pairing the watch my signal strength has disappeared from my status bar. Its nowhere to be found. I went to settings>status bar info and made sure it was enabled, I removed my theme, I changed my launcher back to stock. I unpaired and disconnected the watch and nothing seemed to bring it back. I reset all settings back to default and reset the network settings as well. To no avail, this is incredibly annoying. Does anyone know how in the world to fix this without a complete factory data reset??

You don't have Good Lock installed do you?
Nevermind, apparently I can fix it by downloading Goodlock and enabling it through there. Unfortunate that I'll need an additional application for that. If anyone though knows how to fix it without requiring Goodlock to be installed that would be preferred! Also, in case you're wondering no, I did not have Good Lock installed when the issue occurred. I only installed it after reading that I could use it to add or disable indicator icons in the status bar.. It worked
At the time that the issue occurred I did NOT have Good Lock installed. However by installing Good lock I managed to fix the problem. I read in another post here that you could enable and disable indicator icons, so I downloaded it and enabled all of them just to get it back. I would still like to figure out how to get it back without Goodlock installed, because I don't really care for Goodlock and quite literally the only reason I'll be using it is to be sure I have a signal strength indicator.. That's hardly worth it being installed, right?

No it's not. My thought was maybe you forgot it was already installed. But yea, no sense running a app you don't want to fix a problem that can surely be fixed another way. Maybe you could try wiping the cache partition, it probably won't help, but it can't hurt either.

Yeah, I thought would work also, and tried it earlier. Unfortunately, once again to no avail. It all seems to have happened shortly after purchasing my Galaxy Watch Active, which doesn't make sense and I'm assuming there is no correlation, but you never know. For now I'll just keep using Good Lock unless someone else arrives with a similar issue and possible fix.

I may have missed this, but you did try turning another indicator off didn't you? Apparently there is only so much space alloted because I can't make all of the indicators show at one time if I turn all of them on.

Yeah I tried all that. Interestingly enough by installing Goodlock and enabling everything and then removing Goodlock seems to have solved the problem. So in short I buy the Galaxy Active and suddenly my signal bars disappear from the status bar. I then install Goodlock to add them back via that application. I then removed Goodlock and the signal indicators are back even after a reboot. Android can be so mysterious. Hopefully this helps someone else.
