Android 4.4 missing phone dialpad tip - Nexus 4 General

This may be only on my phone but just wanted to share that the phone dialpad does not show if you have "Animator Duration Scale" to 0 so I set it to 0.5x which is still annoying. "Window animation scale" and "transition animation scale" set to 0 seems to be fine. Weird bug took me 3 resets to figure out. Anyway, hope this helps some nexus 4 users.

Tried to reproduced it but couldn't do so.. Dial pad showed up even after i set animator duration scale to 0

Weird, maybe it's just me. I also have google art set and the animator duration scale does require a reboot to take effect.

Interesting. The first time I hit the dialpad button, a small part of the screen went white, but no dialpad appeared. Subsequently, the dialpad appears every time. All of my animations have been set to 0 for a long time (it's the first thing I do when I get a new phone).
If I hit the recent apps button and swipe the dialer closed, then launch the dialer again, the problem comes back. Again, after the first time, the dialer appears every time.
What an odd bug. Well spotted! I make so few phone calls I doubt this will bother me much, but I do hope it gets fixed in the .1 release.

Yeah that's the same thing that happened to me and I always swipe the phone app close. Glad I'm not the only one.

Is there still no fix yet? I wonder why this bug doesn't recieve much attention.

Fresh reboot then open dialer (not cached) and you'll see.

[Q] Screen Auto-shutoff timing?

I'm sure this is in a basic FAQ or something... but I ask anyway.
Is there some way to get the screen to NOT go black after what seems like 3 seconds? I want the screen to remain lit basically until I tell it to go off with a power button push.
Settings / Sound and display / Screen timeout (3rd from the bottom)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Embarrassing. Thanks.
Is there a way to increase the timeout while the phone is dialing and connecting? The phone goes black before the 4th ring and you have to hit the power button if you want to end the call.
how about on the lockscreen??

Actually I would like to know about this as well, the lockscreen goes blank really fast too.
Actually, if u have Widgetlocker you can set the timeout for your lockscreen. Mines set to turn off after 1 minute.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
My issue is that regardless of what interval I set my screen timeout to, it somehow always defaults back to 30 seconds. I'm not sure if it happens after the lockscreen comes up or what, but the setting never seems to actually stick. I'm using Widget Locker (set to 1 minute), and have that set to override the system setting (set to 1 minute as well), and nothing seems to work.
Any ideas on how I can get my settings to stick? Has anyone even heard of such a thing happening?

GoTo Lockscreen

Had never heard of this app until today and I love it... Thought I'd give it a mention.
It's a complete lockscreen replacement.
does it feel as smooth as the standard lock screen? or does it cause some lag?

I haven't noticed any lag.
The only downside in my opinion, so far, is that the gmail icon counter only shows the count of your primary account. Hopefully they enhance that to show counts of multiple accounts soon.
The biggest down side about apps like this is its not a true replacement for the lock screen.. It is just an app that runs over top of the default one.. I bought widgetlocker and now dont use it. I will sometimes see the stock lock screen or it wont have lag when locking it.. I tried GoTo and its about the same..
I came from the iPhone and used intelliscreen which just added stuff to the default lock screen.. Was amazing.. Wish someone could come up with the same type of mod for the android lock screen.. =[

Testing more, the only time I ever see the normal lockscreen is if I enable the option to disable the volume/camera buttons. I reported it, not sure what they'll do about it.
That said, I don't actually want that option enabled so I never see the normal lockscreen in my real use.
I also still have not run into any lag, but I guess that will vary based on a zillion different factors from person to person.
You're right though, I wish that things like this could be true replacements.
Theres a way to disable the lock.screen on htc devices but that's cause its a .apk with some digging around I'm sure someone can disable the tw lock screen. Doing so would allow you to use the app without the stock lock screen showing up. Not to sure about lag thought

That'd be cool... I'll have to search around.
I need to use the phone for a bit longer and test more, but I went into Titanium and froze TWLauncher and I am no longer getting the normal lockscreen, even if I disable GOTO, so I think it is gone.
I do see the normal lockscreen very briefly if I reboot the the phone, but it goes away in a split second and I don't see it again unless I reboot again.
Perhaps that is all that is needed.
This app is the bomb

Nevermind... that SEEMED to work for a little bit, but now if I have the disable volume/camera option enabled I see the normal lockscreen for a split second again. It goes away quickly, but it does appear.
That said, I still never see it at all if I don't enable the disable volume/camera option.
Ok, I installed NoLock (free in the Market) and disabled the lockscreen with it and that works. I see the normal lockscreen very briefly upon a reboot, but never again after that.
I tested a bit longer this time before saying so, lol.
This thing works flawlessly for me. Sometimes my fat fingers have a hard time stopping on the text message one, but that is user error.
Goto is awesome... it even ran with no lag on my hero

So I've been using this for a day now and I love it. Can change the shortcuts to similar apps, can unlock, doesn't make phone lag and it's only .99c
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I've also been using it for a day now, and it's a really nice app!
Been seeing the regular homescreen quite a few times though, will try to disable the "enable the disable volume/camera option"' option...
yeah as someone else said you have to use nolock (market) with any lockscreen app but i've heard that it does make it pretty flawless
You can do this and it's probably easier to change your lockscreen over and over, but you can navigate the system, or apply a new theme which either way can change the system files. Someone more knowledgeable than me can chime in as to what you need to do, I'm not sure if you can delete it and disable it that way or if it just puts something else up instead, but I definitely know you can theme the lockscreen because I have seen different ROM's have different lockscreens.
Thanks for.posting this app. Its pretty good.

What about the power consumption?
After 7 hours the battery is completely empty. This is not normal, right? ( HTC DESIRE HD )

What's causing my app drawer problem?

Hey guys.
About a few times a day whenever I go into my app drawer everything seems to "blacked out". Icons are barely visible but if I simply back out and re-enter, everything is back to normal.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Need to go into Settings/Developer Options/Advanced/
Scroll down and make sure Window animation, Transition animation and Animator duration scales are set to 1x. And also make sure Animation is checked.
Hmm never seen that bug on the 5.5 i use

Yep. That was it. My window animation scale was on. 5. I must've been in there and turned 'em down and forgot.
Thanks.

Dot View - warning, bt voice dialing broken

Dot View - warning, bt voice dialing broken.
It just cancels listening as soon as it hears "call."
Taking the case off fixes the problem. Opening the case fixes the problem.
That makes no sense... Can someone verify this problem?
It is not true on my phone. It works with the case. I am running rooted stock rom.
it works here aswell.. love the case. no isues whatsoever.
Doesn't work on mine.
Clearly we use different settings or apps.
I'm not making this up.

This happened to me as well. If I reset the phone it would fix it temporaly.

Make sure Animator duration scale is turned on. The voice dialer will work fine with the Dot View case.

Go to Settings then Developer Options. Scroll down to Advanced. Under Animation, be sure Animator duration scale is not off. I use .5x and voice dialer works great.

Kill the Always On Display

How can I toggle the AOD to be completely off? This is driving me nuts. I'm aware of the settings within the Motion Sense area of settings. The "show when nearby" seems to take, however no matter what I do the clock still appears no matter what as an AOD. I've tried disabling the following in different combinations to no avail:
Motion Sense
com.google.oslo
Pixel Ambient Services
com.google.intelligence.sense
Motion Sense Bridge
com.google.android.apps.motionsense.bridge
Even tried the clock app itself
com.google.android.deskclock
Whenever these are initially disabled it seems to work for a minute or so but then the clock pops back up on the AOD. I just want the toggles to work! This is for when I'm driving and my my phone is mounted where it faces me. I already have 2 clocks in my car and don't need a third it's more of an annoyance than anything else.
Do you have Always On disabled in the Lock Screen settings?
Display>Lock Screen Display>Always on

Search for "always on" in settings and turn it off
display / lockscreen / always on - does not exist
Searching for "always on" yields no results.
I don't have a lock screen set as I don't need it, though I did try setting one temporarily to see if the option showed up, but nothing. That's how I used to do it on my note but they moved everything around on 10.

You really don't have always on under..settings/display/advanced/lock screen display....then scroll to the bottom??
Display, scroll all the way to the bottom, select lock screen display, bottom third of the screen you'll see Always on, toggle it off. You can still have it light up by tapping, lifting, or triggered by soli, in any combination if you wish.
edit.. Ninja'ed me Badge, it's there, he just missed it.

It's probably because you went around disabling apps. Enable the Pixel ambient Services.

With everything re-enabled and a hard reboot, I set a screen lock. Then went back to display and the "lockscreen" option was now available. I turned off AOD and then disabled the screen lock and it took. No more clock.
It seems as though the AOD toggle being buried in the lock screen options, which is only available when one is on will take no matter of a lock screen is set. So every time I want to change this I have to go through this process. I wish there was a Quick Settings shortcut for this.

Well it's not exactly meant to be toggled on and off often like the ones in the Quick Settings pulldown menu. The easiest and quickest way is just searching "Always on" in settings and you can actually toggle it right there as seen in the screenshot.

Also if you are not using the active edge for anything critical you might try button mapper by flar2 and see if one of the options can be set to it. Or maybe even on of the other options in his app will apply it.

I don't now and have never had a lock screen enabled on my phone and can and have always been able to enable or disable always on display. Unless you disabled some app affecting this as mentioned above it should be there for you too just as it is for the rest of us. You may want to look into that and see what's hanging you up.

I haven't been able to do it since it was virgin out of the box, the option just isn't there. Doing it on my old Note 8 was super easy it was right where it was supposed to be. Although I have found a workaround for anyone on the off chance I'm not the only one experiencing this.
Being rooted, I downloaded ShortcutMaster and used the app explorer and poked around until I found;
[Setup Wizard]
com.google.android.pixel.setupwizard
tap and scroll down to;
com.google.android.pixel.setupwizard.alwaysondisplay.AlwaysOnDisplayOptInActivity
Choosing [launch] triggers the screen from inital setup to toggle the AOD.
Set it as favorite, or Homescreen (on the paid version)
Launch Shortcut master each time to change it or use the homescreen icon shortcut.
The setting seems to take each time I've done it so far.
