Is there any app, watch face or any option to keep the screen always with the active mode?
I know it will use a lot of batery but i only want it when i am at a party or something similar when you want to call atention. Because at after a day of use i still have like 70%, so batery isnt a problem. if anyone know how to have something similar i would be very gratefull.
I searched all forums and googled it a lot and I am suprised that noone asked anywhere for this.. maybe I dont know how to google anymore
Try out the app called StayLit Wear. It allows you to keep the screen on for a certain time or forever until you set it back to the default timeout. Being able to keep the screen on is also available in Wear Mini Launcher. Note that keeping the screen on for a long time may cause your watch to get hot.

On your watch, go to the wear mini launcher toggles screen where there is a brightness slider and a bunch of toggles then toggle the one with a lock icon.

Swipe once for the app drawer, then a second time for more options.

Hi, just thought this was an interesting bug to come across knowing that the Hero doesn't natively support landscape home in Sense or the default android home.
When playing Raging Thunder 2 (Lite in my case), let the phone sleep (press end call), now wake the phone and unlock the screen. The phone is forced into landscape home until you correct it (hold phone portrait). This happens in both sense and the default android home, however Sense forcecloses.

Yep indeed,... tested what you said and you are indeed correct,... I tried this with the full paid version and had the same issue.
It is not an issue if just left idle on the game as the game does not allow the phone to go into into sleep mode,...
FIX: Download and install spare parts (it is free),... This is an excellent app which gives access to settings not available as standard.
Once installed, open app, go to "End button behavior",... select "Home, then sleep". Now if you are ever in an app (not on any one of your homescreens), when you press end, it will first take you home, then you have to press it again to put the phone in sleep mode.
I know its an extra button press but I do like to have it sleep only on the homescreen.
Peace.
Good solution. I have spare parts set to sleep on end button by preference, but I see that would be a good solution. Plus yeah, how many people are going to press end to put phone to sleep whilst playing a game.
And this bug doesn't really bother me, just thought I'd share it.

Its a good spot,... maybe worth letting the guys at Polarbit know.
I posted a comment on the market. Hopefully they'll spot it.
Sorry, but what kind of callendar app widget do you use?

Thx Adam,
Nice widg. allready downloaded =]
I'm using (i was ) CalWidget (egg'n stones) - also nice looking.
Will compare those two - i thikn they are the best?!
Oh! And SlideScreen [larvalabs] too
Does your homescreen rotate? I thought they fixed that in 4.1??? The homescreen on my N7 rotates. Why doesn't it rotate on the X?

Do you have "Auto-rotate screen" checked in the display options?

yes. everything else rotates fine. just the homescreen/app drawer. this was a known miss for several versions, which I thought was remedied.

That is a feature only for tablets. Quite frankly, it would be annoying on phones, but if you want it, Nova launcher.
Download an alternate launcher such as Nova or Apex and you can enable auto rotate on the home screen launcher.

dammit. i hate launchers. i never got the draw. even when i was a victim of the heavy-hand of Blur, launchers never did it for me. i suppose the old method of modifying a parameter of a file requires root. can't really remember the technical details.
anyway, with the USB on the bottom and the headphones on the top, not having a homescreen (or potentially even the active notifications screen) that rotates kind of sucks.
EDIT: that's right... edit the build.prop file, add the line:
launcher.force_enable_rotation=true

I've been trying to figure this out too, but all I want to rotate is the active display.
do you think something like "active display.force_enable_rotation=true" would work?
Hate launchers? Get my xperia launcher & fix.
I really like the GEL. my only gripe is the lack of rotation on the active display and the persistent google search bar.
When I use Galaxy S4, lockscreen just like it.

You can use Media Utilities for downloading the song's coverart and Tasker to set the Lockscreen wallpaper with the coverart. The trigger event is the new song played notification (use autonotification to intercept it).
It works on my S7 edge.

Hi,
Got a problem with the yahoo weather app. I can't create a widget with height of 1, when I create a widget, the smallest height is 2. In Nova launcher, it works!
But Nova launcher can't lock my screen like emui launcher does...
Anyone any suggestions?

What do you mean by "lock your screen?" surely it times out and locks, unless you mean to stop things being moved about by accident then it's in the Desktop part of Nova in Advanced settings

Yes I mean the lock time out...if I use it, screen is dark for 5 minutes and then will be locked.
EMUI launcher locks immediately.

This seems strange as mine locks as expected with Nova. I assume you have Automatic Lock set to 5 seconds? It does mention if using Smart Unlock then these will not function. Have you tried turning that off and seeing if it then locks as quickly as expected?

Yes, if choosing option "lock screen as administrator" it locks immediately but unlocking with fingerprint won't work.
If choosing 2. method, smart unlock works, but screen darkens for 5 seconds before locked. but in these 5 seconds, display is fully working...only darkened. so if I wanna put smartphone in to my pocket, I need to wait for 5 seconds or press the side-button.
Why does it with EMUI work but with Nova doesn't?
thx

Labs is not available anymore or just not for the Tab A. So can't even try this.
Is there any solution yet? My old mother uses the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab tablet. She was confronted with the new feature a few days ago and asked me to undo this new look.
She complained about:
1. Not opening sent pictures in full screen anymore and
2. A keyboard which was opened at the right site screen which is now a lot smaller. My old dad has Parkinsons and even with a stylus pen it is difficult to type in the smaller spaces.
Is there any way to disabe this split-view function or go back to a previous version without it (as a second emergency option)?
Thanks in advance for any response

So the only way I got it to work is to go to settings -> screen zoom -> increase size. This will make everything else a bit big too, but it works.
My father is also suffering this annoying new feature... I hope that many other users are feeling the same so they let us select the view we want to use or anyone develops a solution
