Hi,
I'm wondering to know if you know application to avoid black screen during calls for the HTC Hero.
RucaNebas
Yes. On the app store there is a free app called Shake Awake. It detects the movement of pulling the phone away from your ear and activates the screen. The sensitivy can be adjusted.
Thank you very much for your quick replay Paul.
I installed and it seems to work.
Thank you again.
Do you know where I can find cool applications for our Hero?
RucaNebas
Wow, this works very nice.
Thank you

You're very welcome.
I have so far only installed apps from the Android Market.
Excellent find.
Not working on HTC Hero :-((
Do you know why?
Yeah, didn't work on the Hero. I hope they fix that with the update and also that annoying vibrate when the phone connects. While interesting concept it is really not needed. I figure I know when it connects when the other person says hello.
You can use Keepscreen, there is a lite version ;-)
Hi,
you may use the free app calle KeepScreen Lite, too.
This app lets you choose for which apps you want the screen always stay on.
The Hero uses a specific phone app, whose name is different from google standard phone app ... But KeepScreen lets you manually choose the apps you want.
There are two versions of keepscreen : the free one (called lite), which is 'limited' to standard google apps, and two of user's chose. The pay version is unlimited.
edit : bricabrac : you won this one
Thank you guys.
I'm sorry to back again, but I need to understand your explanations.
Do you mean that the KeepScreen Lite application could be installed on the Hero and activates the screen during calls?
Which is the Hero app name that keeps the screen always stay on during calls?
I had already created a thread with regard to the screen switching off during a call here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547736
Shakeawake doesn't seem to work for all and for those it does it can be unreliable.
PowerManager can be set (in a profile) to keep the screen alive when making a call for up to a minute (specify by number of secs... I think) which gives you plenty of time to get past those 'pick 1 to do ... pick 2.... etc' type calls.
Hope this helps
how do i install this " shake awake" program on my foon! new 2 andriod

KeepScreen
if i'm not mistaken the actual phone app should be named "Dialer"
KeepScreen is now completely free, and has in the free version all functionality
ahm, can anyone tell me how do i turn the screen off again after i awoke it? my ear keeps checking notifications :/
fyi...on my hacked sapphire, keepscreen was a little buggy. it would sometimes still allow dialer app to go dark while on call even with the keepscreen app running as confirmed in both notification bar and running apps. also, when rebooting phone, keepscreen requires restart but that is probably normal. for me, i decided i rather not deal with the problem of occasional face/key-press on long calls and just let the device go dark. i've become familiar with the quick-key presses to handle call-swap, speaker-on, and such...
I have shake awake since a while and it works fine.
Keepscreen is nice to keep applications "awake"
What would you like for the gear (Keep in mind its a Smart Watch not a Smart Phone)
My first pic is
Stolen Watch, if someone nicks it you can get it back
Whatsapp! Just want to share pics to contacts

using the phone for the gps sensor?
1)Shake to wake, like the pebble. The current wake up makes my watch turn on way too often.
2)Expanded notifications without first tapping on the notification like how it is currently. I don't understand why I need to tap on it first before I can read the whole message. Just make them expanded/full notifications always, or at least make it an option.
3)There is too much of a delay for the media controller app. There's about a 1 second delay between pressing a button in the media controller app and having my phone actually change the song. The pebble does the song switch almost instantly. If this is due to the lower bandwidth of Bluetooth Low Energy, make it an option to turn off BLE and use only BT Classic. I would gladly give up battery life for faster notifications/control over my phone. This brings me to #4
4) Faster notifications. Sometimes I have a 1 second wait before a notification shows up on my watch after having already shown up on my phone. Again, if this is due to the limited bandwidth of BLE, make it an option to only work on BT classic.
Edit: Oh I misread the topic. I thought this was about changes to the Gear. I'll just leave this here anyways.
Me too, i would like a GPS guidance for walking.
An extention of Sygic will be really great.
I can honestly say I couldn't ask for much more from my watch.
I would like a keyboard to reply to msgs (from anything that shows up in notification center - email, text, hangouts, etc) - without having to bake in a whole new rom etc

yup.
Something like Rain Alarm pro does on the sony smart watch. Yes you can get the alert when the app sees rain but the ability to see weather radar on the watch would be awesome!
I have searched, but have not found the answer.
I have Multiwatch and Watch Styler, I have no problem getting the faces to load. But most of them do not have all the functions working like the small timers in say Citizen style. Do I need to root the Gear Neo 2 or are these just gimmicks?
Sorry if this was asked before...

Not sure what functions are you looking for: if you design your watch face with Styler you'll see the only options are date/BT/battery...anything else is gimmick.

That is what I was afraid of, seems there needs to be more development on this device.

your watch is messed. i had same issue with multiwatch. some watches wouldnt load some would but only be hands or nothing at all. i reset my watch and reinstalled apk on phone. havent had a issue since. all my watch faces work. rooting doesnt do anything except give you access to remove apps and push ringtones and alerts and so on. and increase volume over all.
Hi all
Has anyone used the fitness watch face? have you noticed that the step count on in does not match the step count on the watch itself?

I'm using it and dont have any problem at all. Steps are correct.

So the steps match on the watch face match with show me my steps in settings? Strange mine on watch face are about 400 less!
Does it have anything to do with swipe left for altitude setting it says when you first go to watch face?
I'm using a custom watch face from intellicom watch faces app with a step counter. I've also noticed that the step count on the watch face don't match the count on the fit app.
Yesterday watch face had approx 14,000 steps whereas fit app was showing only 9,500????
One thing I noticed is that some of my watch faces needed permission to link with Google Fit. Those watch faces show steps accurately on my LG Watch Urbane. The Intellicom watch face never asked permission, and isn't showing up in the approved app list in Google Fit, which is probably why steps on the watch face don't match the app. Maybe I didn't see the permission message? Maybe the app isn't configured to ask permission?

REQUIREMENTS?
TASKER
PHONE WITH PROXIMITY SENSOR
NO ROOT REQUIRED
COMMON SENSE
WHAT Does this do?
This will basically change your music tracks (previous and next) by waving your hand
HOW does it do it?
You hand activates the Proximity sensor (be sure to locate yours before trying this lol) Then it goes into the details by detecting if your hand is still hanging in there, if your hand is not there, it will change to the next track, if your hand is still holding up, it will Rewind the song, do it again and it will change to the previous song.
WHEN do you want to use this?
On Car, You are driving, want to change tracks while driving? well just wave your hand instead of even looking at your phone. (ok you look a bit but you get the idea) No more accidents, looks cool when you do it in front of your newbie friends, yeah go ahead and tell them to do it with their iPhones XD Just remember to paste your phone into a place you can reach or use one of those universal phone holders.
On some desktop for whatever reason you dont have a computer or cant play songs on your pc? Activate this with Bluetooth see magic with a wave of your hands
You want to see the magic and how futuristic it is when you wave and the machine speaks back to you
OK, Lets get Started
Create a Profile, (name it to Prox=1) Select State, Select Proximity Sensor
Task>Variable Set>Name: %Prox to covered
Create Another Profile, (name it to Prox=0)Select State, Select Proximity Sensor But This Time Check on Invert
Task>Variable>Set>Name: %Prox to uncovered
Create Another Profile(name it to Prev and Next), Select State, Select Proximity Sensor
wait (515MS) <---This is an Important Factor on this project, this determines how long your hand should stay in the proximity sensor, the shorter the wait, the faster it will trigger, change as required.
if %Prox ~ uncovered & %SCREEN ~ off
Say: "Next" (Customize the way you like it or just leave it as if)
Media Control Next on App Poweamp (The App "Poweramp" can be changed to the Music App you are using)
Else If %Prox ~ covered & %SCREEN ~ off
Say "Back" (Again, You can customize the voice etc. or.. just dont)
Media Control Previous App Poweramp ( Again, you choose the Music App or else it wont work)
End If
Now you will need to create a Task, Name it to Track Changer Yes.
The Task should contain
Profile Status>name Prox=1 Set On
Profile Status>name Prox=0 Set On
Profile Status>name Prev and Next Set On
Set Tasker Pref>Proximity Sensor Value Yes
What the Above does is to just Activate your Profiles, so that it just works.
If you want to Deactivate those Profiles do another Task, Name the Task to Track Changer No.
The Task should contain
Profile Status>name Prox=1 Set Off
Profile Status>name Prox=0 Set Off
Profile Status>name Prev and Next Set Off
Set Tasker Pref>Proximity Sensor Value when Power Connected
This will deactivate the task and you are back to 0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I knew how to make Pictures Appear in the Post (I don't) This would have been easier for you but since life is tough and you need to experience this there you go.
If you need more details look at this Album http://imgur.com/a/eXcch
BTW: To Make this work you need to activate all 3 Profiles, Prox=0, Prox=1 and Prev Next. The Task "Track Changer Yes" will Activate it for you, useful if you activate this task via Bluetooth, Heaphones, etc. You can make a Scene pop when you connect headphones, etc your ideas are your limitation.
If you struggle in some place, look at the tasks and see if any of them has a triangle error in there. Make sure you change the music app on all 2 action tasks! (previous, next)

Make sure on the Ifs tasks you have %SCREEN ~ off it means this can only work if your screen is off :3 (forgot to put % before SCREEN)
Followed the steps, everything works perfectly, thank you very much

That's pretty frikkin' cool!
Tried it and it works like a champ. It's like having the Force... This is not the song I'm looking for!
I have an OBDII device in my car connected to bluetooth. How do I use this feature only when I'm connected to the OBDII device?

Well, If it uses Bluetooth, just use tasker to create a profile state on Bluetooth, select the current Bluetooth device. Then for the task of the profile link it to the the task (Track Changer Yes) that activates the 3 profiles, Prox 1, prox 0 and prev and next. As simple as that I recommend you set the exit profile to Track Changer No, So your music does not changes in your pocket or outside of Bluetooth.
**Remember that I set it to only work on screen off so it is not activated accidentally**
im not able to activate all profiles at once
either prox=0 is active or the other two

Before trying this you need to know the basics of using Tasker, the switcher needs to be "ON" on all 3 profiles.
If by Active you mean the green color, it changes from Prox 0 to Prox 1 depending on your proximity sensor. That is supposed to happen.
To try this, just switch all 3 profiles to ON and turn off your screen have music playing, and move your hand to the proximity sensor.

It should work on all roms, please check the requirements.
check if Prox 1 and 0 turns to green and grey, if it does, it should work, if it doesnt, you have something wrong on your side.
I am having a bit of trouble with this one to. I believe I have it set up right, but I am unable to change music with it. When I have tasker open and put my hand over the proximity sensor "Prox=1" and "Prev and Next" light up green, and when I remove it "Prox=0" lights up green, so that seems right but I still cant change music with it. Any ideas? Thanks
Edit: alright it is working for music now, I actually didn't need to change anything, it just started working lol. I just need some help understanding the tasks to turn it on and off. I don't have anything specific that I'm always doing (like Bluetooth etc) when listening to music to tie it to, I just want it so when I use my music player it turns on and when I'm not using it it turns off. Thoughts?
Works like a charm. Thanks!
can anyone upload the profile for this?
I am using PureNexus on my N6P and the next function works like a charm, but I cannot figure out how to get the previous function to work.
Does not work on miui 7 , i did all right, Prox0 is green on normal and Prox1 and Prev and Next becomes green(active) when i place my hand close to proximity sensor but the music does not change when i move my hand close to proximity sensor...
any help

I am not very active here so if you need more help, it would take a while to find me. just tweak the task a bit and get to know how it works.

fanchai,
I know you're not on that often but....I had this working perfectly on my LG-G4.
However, I upgraded to a new phone and didn't have the profiles/tasks saved so I started over from square-one. I can't for the life of me get it working. I've re-traced my steps, followed along with the photo's you posted but can't get it working.
Can I upload my profile to you so that you can tell me what I'm missing?
