Hi,
I have a defect with my Nexus. Occasionally the touch screen registers touch events even if I don't touch the device at all. The area affected by this is very small and I used a tool to show the coordinates and pressure. I notices that the pressure is VERY low, much lower than any real touches.
I'm hoping to solve this problem (for some reasons I can't return the device atm) by intercepting touch events with a pressure below a set threshold. I don't really have any Android experience, yet, but googling revealed that this might not be easy because it is like "tapjacking" and prevented by the OS.
Can somebody with development experience say if this is possible with an ordinary app (e.g. use a transparent system alert window)? Or on a rooted device (I don't know if this would help me)? Or the last resort would be to make a custom rom with a fix.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
Hiya,
I'm working on a project where we want to get as much remote control out of this camera as possible - however - it seems that using the camera GUI that comes with it, focus can not be manually changed.
Yes, you can prod your finger anywhere, and it'll focus on that point - but that's still autofocus at work. I need to be able to literally move the elements to and fro (as I presume it does when auto focussing) to change incrementally where the focus lands.
I think some people achieved this with the G1 some time ago, but my Google-Fu is lacking on this, I've as yet been able to find anything else out. Also this is an actual camera, not a baby surface mount thing attached to a phone as an afterthought - so I guess cracking this may be rather different to cracking it on another Samsung Galaxy product....
....Anyway, anyone got any ideas or leads on this?
Thanks!
Sara
I am in the same case
Have you find something?
Hey all,
I've been poking around the web and XDA for a while, and I'm wondering now if anyone else has had some weird audio stammering/stuttering on their Ones? Initially, I thought it might be something wrong with my headphones (have had a bad history of wearing out the jacks, but after using four or five sets, I don't think that's the issue. It's also not an issue with streaming/buffering the content in Play Music-- it happens with local content as well as streamed, although I haven't seen it much in other apps, such as YouTube.
If anyone has any thoughts, I'd love to hear them-- this has been a very frustrating issue on an otherwise excellent phone. I'm running tbalden's kernel, and otherwise am stock/rooted (and no, I don't see anything about the issue in the kernel thread, aside from some people playing around with PureXAudio). Thanks much!

I'd go back to the stock kernel anyway. The current kernel source has had several issues that HTC needs to fix (including missing portions) so it's really not advisable to use one. There's not much benefit to a custom kernel right now anyway.

Nominally an option, the main issue is that I've become quite dependent on sweep2wake and logo2menu, but if it does become a bigger issue it's certainly a tradeoff I'll consider.

I'd look into other solutions for those. sweep2wake actually eats quite a bit of power (it leaves the entire touch panel powered), and logo2menu can be replicated with other programs.
For example, what I do for powering the device on/off is using my flip cover combined with a Tasker profile that acts like the iPad smart cover, using the proximity sensor. Open = on, Close = off. Even works when turning the device over or putting it in the pocket.
Also, you can use apps like GMD GestureControl to enable menus with a simple gesture, combined with a basic rom modification to remove the soft menu button.

I've yet to have trouble with sweep2wake, actually-- it, along with PGM Nexus are compromises I'm willing to make for extra utility. I've actually never had very good luck with Tasker and a proximity sensor (I actually tried it again this morning with ill results), although the pocket trick does work reasonably well for me.
Personally, I can't stand GMD GestureControl on a phone, although it's a lifesaver on a tablet. In any event, I did try a restore to stock and I'm still having the issue (although it may be slightly less pronounced-- who knows!). Hopefully there may be a fix incoming from one side or the other.
Does anyone know a way to disable the magnetic sensor that locks and unlocks the screen? I use a Steelie Nite Ize http://www.niteize.com/product/Steelie-Car-Mount-Kit.asp as a car mount and the magnet immediately locks my phone.
I know on previous phones I used someone usually finds a way to disable this feature. But I cannot find anything for the Nexus 6.
Any help is appreciated!

I'm having the same issue as well!!! This is tremendously annoying.
I bought the Logitech dashboard/windshield magnetic mount just yesterday and tried to unlock my phone while connected to it and as soon as it locked back again I immediately thought - "MAGNET! Damn!"
To me a magnetic solution seems most elegant since you don't have to release any mechanisms to remove or place your phone but obviously it loses it's function when you can't even unlock your device. I can't find ANYTHING on the Nexus 6 magnet on the net. I've seen a couple of things about the Nexus 7 magnet and apparently IT has an option to disable the lock function unlike the Nexus 6.
I'll keep looking into it as best as I can but if anyone has any insight into how to disable this function it would be greatly appreciated. I'm wondering if there's maybe a kernel level command/modification like the one that disables the hidden LED on our phones that could disable it.
There's an app called Magnet Unlocker that definitely detects the magnet and gives you a meter/readout of magnetic field strength that's supposed to let you configure behaviors based on the magnet being activated and also lets you adjust the sensitivity but i can't seem to make it do anything. Maybe you guys can try and have success with it. I found it here:

Hi folks,
I have bought this lovely piece of tech.
I have already ordered different case as the one supplied by vivo has absolutely no grip whatsoever.
I think I've done most of the setup, tested cameras, get notifications working etc and I'm pretty happy with how things are.
I do, however, have some questions:
2) After double clicking power button I'm getting some chinese crap on my screen - any chance on getting rid of it, and possibly mapping other action under double pressing of power button?
3) At this stage is there any point of running debloating script via ADB? I deleted what was possible from the phone via app manager etc. Is there any real improvement to the battery life, performance?
4) Any known way to replace this vivo music player widget with another one in the quick menu?
I keep reading forums/internet so I may find solutions to the above in the meantime ( point 1 is missing, as I've managed to find a way to fix it while writing this post )
Any help is most welcome!
Ok, forget about number 2 as well. Chinese lady, whom I happen to work with and who actually imported the phone from China for me has turned it off it was vivo wallet.
I still wonder though, has anyone managed to map double click of power button for something else?
