I wish Google would allow the option to send a text message from the phones recent list it has redial and details they should put "message" there too. I only have the option to call the number back. It is frustrating. Also the ability to stop a download mid way. Are there anything else?
Long press on the download in the status bar then click on it and then hit the trash icon or go to downloads in app drawer and do the the same

thanks the long press wasn't working for me that's what i assumed would do it. but going to downloads apk and long press there does indeed stop it.
thanks
And clear the recent apps with one touch, enable blacked out theming as an option, and double tap to wake and put the device to sleep
Clearing recents, they'll never do and with good reason. What they should do is allow us to limit how many apps are shown, like recently does.

Hello everyone.
I have not seen this issue discussed but hope that someone may have an answer.
Every now and then I will have the Fullscreen symbol (chevron) "stuck" in my taskbar/launcher when I'm offline. The odder thing is, is when I then go online and surf/download something the symbol is not there. So it's basically reversed. The only "fix" is to reboot.
Any ideas?
Cyanogenmod, nightly 221 at the moment (though I have tried several newer).
As a side note, this has also happened on my HP Touchpad w/ Cyanogenmod.
dl icon...
Its not a download icon. Its a soft button to hide the status bar
Sorry, but it's not. It normally displays when I open an IP camera, browser, etc.
For whatever reason it reverses itself at times.
Tapping it does nothing as it's not a button.
Edit:
Funny. I took a screen shot while it was on the screen, and it doesn't show up in the picture. All other icons/symbols show. LOL. Wth? I'll take a pic later and post it.
Edit: I re-read your post now. Picture attached with 7.1 download icon on the right, and what I assume is your icon you are talking about on the left. Is that correct?
No, that's not it. I get that one when downloading from the Market, etc. Thanks for the effort though.
Here is a pic of it. It's the far right lower (Chevron) one. Like two inverted arrows. Known as a "Chevron" as it looks like Chevrons (gasoline) logo.
It's got to be something to do with being online, browsing, etc.
Ahhh the mystery of it all.
It's no mystery. I thought that was it (I'm just using a different CM7 bar than you).
Go to Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Tablet Tweaks > Choose soft-buttons and tell me what you have selected.
Home, Menu, Back, Quick Notifications. That's it.
Only thing I can think of is the Fullscreen/Hide Status bar button. Comeone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm still sure that is what it is.
If you open an application that requests full screen (like Netflix or Angry Birds) and press it, does it hide the status bar?

I opened my IP camera app and pressed the icon, and yes, the status bar disappeared (how do I get it back?). But why is the icon showing when I'm not using any app? ie: like it is now.
So now when I open my IP camera app there's no status bar. I don't see a way to get it back. Probably something simple, but I can't find it.
~~
Confirmed that although "Home" is set to restore the Status Bar, it does not. Tried Volume Up, etc. to no avail. Something's buggy. Only a reboot restores things.
Also. Disable Full Screen is checked.
Yeah, looks like the hide bar to me too.
The field under;
Settings -> CM Settings -> Tablet Tweaks -> (Interface) Choose Unhide Button
Is supposed to allow you to pick a button to show the statusbar again.
--Edit--
Just saw your edit, yeah, I have mixed success with the unhide button too.
Not all applications request full screen if I'm right.
Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Tablet Tweaks > Choose unhide button
Most people choose the N button to unhide, then press it again to go to home.
Well I hope this helps someone else. I just found this old post:
"I had the same problem. Went into the ADW Settings menu and scrolled to the bottom and "Reset ADW".
I reset and all is back to normal, AND the home key now brings back the Status Bar as it should! Yay!
I wish I could edit the thread title to "Fullscreen" symbol weirdness, but I can't.
Thanks for the effort guys.

Sorry if my edits messed up the timeline.
There was a bug that I fixed by resetting ADW. Phew.
Thanks again.
Hello I have lots of questions
1) is there a way to make active display or tap to wake up phone?
2) on my previous phone if I clicked on the volume key button the phone would turn on?- can I do it on here?
3) there are many more apps like contextual services and lots of other Motorola apps. Which are safe to disable?
4) is there a way to block OTA updates?
5) when you swipe down using two fingers you get the notification pull menus. But when I click the wifi button it opens the settings app and goes to wifi. Can't I edit it so it goes DIRECTLYY to. Toggle wifi?
6) pin on lock screen - on my old phones when I input my pin it unlockes. This is so stupid and takes more longer after inputtingmy pin. I then have to click enter? How do I automate that
1) You can use AcDisplay. You can't tap to wake the phone, a custom kernel would be required for that.
2) Not by default.
3) I leave Assist, Alert, Audio effects, Help and Migrate disabled. I don't know about the rest, but those are safe.
4) Just don't install them. I don't know if you can disable the alerts though.
5) Hold the wifi button . Works with other settings as well, try it out.
6) Well, you could try using an app that replaces your lockscreen which has this feature, such as the Home Screen Lock of Smart App Lock. By default you can't though.
Hope I helped.

I assume you are using Lollipop. The wifi-icon and the SSID are two seperate buttons. Tapping the icon switches wifi on/off. Tap on the SSID and it will take you to settings
I've found that long-pressing the wifi button will toggle it on and off.

Thanks for that, didn't know holding the button toggles it!!! Wish it was more simpler!!!
Bit disapointed thaty I cant use the volume keys! thanks for the help
Does anyone know what this is? Can't seem to find what it does?
It excludes the app from being closed if you hit the close all button.

When I hit the close all button it disappears though. I've been thinking about ODINing pie to my phone. I OTA updated and then factory reset. Stuff doesn't seem right, like my alarm screen doesn't have the increasing ringtone option anymore either... Any thoughts? Does yours stay in the recents?

From what I was able to research, the gradual volume increase is missing from the Samsung Clock app. There appears to be different settings for each category on the vertical 3 dot menu. I have seen suggestions to install the Google clock app but YMMV.
I just tried again with locking the app and it does stay when I hit close all. When I check the recents afterward, the only app that appears is the one I locked with the lock symbol in the bottom right corner.
Another friendly question. Do you have any idea why the pen doesn't work with some apps? I've noticed 2 for sure. One is free the other was paid. Evolution of Species 2 and Excapist 2. Neither will work with the pen remote settings on or off. I figured the pen would produced the same affect as the finger...
Best I can gather is that some apps are coded specifically for touch input. If I'm understanding correctly, the pen is considered direct input which is different than touch. I found an old Reddit thread that might explain it better...

About setting for volume increase in clock app. That setting has been removed and that auto increase is now done automatically.
I checked with Samsung about it and they confirmed that setting was removed and that volume auto increases as default now. In android pie
Hello!
I had an update (April security update for Pie) and now multiwindow has stopped working. Holding down the recents does nothing, I can't even find a mention of multiwindow in settings. WTH? Anyone else have this?
To clarify, I'm talking about split screen. Windowing still seems to work OK...

In the recents screen, press and hold the app icon and a menu with options will Pop up including split screen.
Install Good lock and MultiStar module to get the full multi window features back. The only thing is gone is the holding down the recent key to multi window. Now it is all in the recent screen by taping the app icon or dragging the app down or up on top of an active app. (Have an active app running, tap on recent button and sliding the desired app up or down to activate multi window. )

Thanks, all. These options work. Weird how they removed the long-press on recents....

Correct, it was a leftover from betas/android oreo - they never intended to have it there (iirc), thus they removed it as a "bug fix"... I also don't agree with their decision + they are big customer for google, I also refuse to accept the reasoning how google policy forced them to gutter the great multitasking they had on oreo, nougat and even MM. As said, multistar/goodlock returns 90% of the functionality + you can even turn on two activities same time, that way while you game you can open another app in pop-out without game freezing on the background, etc.
Hello,
I'm very happy with my mi A2 phone but there is a bar that for some reason I can't customize or delete, I don't know how to call it so I call it "Secondary favorites bar". It appears at the bottom of the screen under the google bar when you push the square and on the top of the screen under the search apps bar when you open the apps menu sliding your finger up.
I would like to know how to deactivate that or customize it.
Thanks
Long press on desktop - home settings - suggestions - apps <- disable it.
As far as I know, you can't customize it.
This bar showing your last apps you can't customize it

So, two updates ago the bar came back, and I can’t find “suggestions” I was hoping to be able to do it again, but I can’t find the option.
If that’s not possible I would happily go back to the previous version, since that update the phone hasn’t been working very well.
