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"
I thought it was about time to create a unified thread that everyone can add to, about ICS annoyances and issues that you are experiencing using the new ICS releases that are coming out almost daily now. The developers post what is not working, like "Camera", but in reality that just refers to the hardware that isn't working. Functionality is a different story and my hope is that this thread can be a single place where everyone posts what their annoyances/issues are and then the community can decide what items need to go on the "hot list" below. This list will be the items we'd like to see fixed by our ever-so-awesome development community.
Regardless of which ICS build you are using (ICS4BIONIC, CM9, AXI0M, AOKP, KANG, etc.) there will always be little quirks that you'd like to see fixed. Post them here, and we'll see where it goes!
NOTE: Try not to post "as designed" annoyances/issues. For example, if you don't like that pressing the apps tray button brings up the apps list, well that is how Google "designed" their OS to work. That is a preference thing, not an actual "issue" that needs to be fixed, so you should seek out a third party app to address your need. Also, this list should attempt to only contain items that are issues on all custom ROMs, not just your specific one.
I will start this out with my list. I will edit/modify this list as time goes by and items get fixed and recommended, or deemed important/unimportant by the participants of this thread.
CURRENT HOT LIST (updated 2012-02-29):
Data must be toggled to GSM then back to CDMA/LTE after every boot (This is commonly known by users who have been flashing ICS over the last few weeks/months)
Contact images do not restore, even after Facebook app is installed and all contacts are set to sync. All contacts have default gray Android image instead of contact photo.
If you make/receive a call while using other apps (such as Navigation) you cannot easily switch between them or go back to the home screen (you have to wait until the other person hangs up)
Screen rotation is VERY slow by default (200ms wait time). Change to 100ms or 50ms for easier usability
Camera works fine for still images, but you cannot record video. Pressing the record button does not start recording, it just flashes and does nothing. Switching to Panorama mode also crashes the camera app altogether.
Native Gallery no longer has scroll button to quickly drag through photo library. You have to manually swipe through multiple pages. In my case, I have about 50 pages of thumbnails, and have to swipe for about 30-45 seconds before I get to the date range of the photos I want to look at.
Toggling GPS sometimes modifies Location check boxes, and even though you have re-enabled GPS, you have to manually go into Settings/Location and recheck the "Standalong GPS" box
The native Launcher has no ability to add widgets by pressing/holding on the target home screen as in all other Android OS versions. You now have to go deep into the Apps/widget menu to add widgets (unless you use a 3rd party launcher which of course uses more memory, and should not be necessary)
Many Apps are unsteady and not ready for ICS, like K9 Mail, Root Uninstaller, etc. They will install, and seem to function, but odd behavior occurs. For example, K9 Mail will mix up user credentials between email accounts. Root Uninstaller will see all your apps, but show 0.00kb space used for some apps, so the "Uninstall" button is grayed out and the app cannot be removed. MovieStudio app crashes after creating new project.
Many Games (even simple ones like Doodle Jump and Cubes), will completely freeze up the phone and make it non-responsive after only 5-10 seconds of gameplay. The powerbutton will not even respond, and the user has to do a complete battery pull (which for me is a pain since I have an Otterbox, multiple-layers to remove, then put back on).
Apps that toggle the LED light are very delayed when trying to turn them off. For example, the most popular one on the Market is named "Tiny Flashlight + LED" which includes a widget to turn the LED on/off from your home screen. This worked flawlessly on Android 2.3, but on ICS toggling the LED is very unpredictable. Sometimes it takes 30 seconds to a minute to turn off. Sometimes it does not turn off at all, and the phone begins to get really hot and you have to reboot.
Native Wifi Tether/Hotspot Toggle does not work. You must use the 3rd party Wifi hotspot app.
The wallpaper is static now, and does not move in the background when swapping left/right between home screens. I have not found a way to modify this, and this may not be a "bug" per say, but how Android 4.x is designed (a change in GUI). If you are like me though and liked the old way which helped me know which screens I was on, then it can be annoying. The screen indicator line is so small now, a tiny 2 pixel bar at the bottom, so it is hard to see which segment is highlighted.
VoiceToText feature now does live translation, where it converts the words as you say them, rather than waiting until you finish speaking an then analyzing. This can be good and bad, since now you have to manually press a "Done" button everytime you stop speaking, as the voice engine will not automatically close and analyze when you stop talking as it does up through Android 2.3 (Gingerbread).
DSPManager (Digital Signal Processing app) only modifies output through plugged in speakers or headphones, not live playback through phone speaker.
Muting: The user is unable to mute a phone call. Pressing the mute mic button will cause it to flash, but the mute feature never actually enables.
NOTE: I will not change the numbers next to each issue, but instead add new ones to the list that you all come up with, so if you reference a specific # in your follow-up posts then they will always stay accurate throughout the life of this thread when others are reading it.

MIUI modifications are custom changes made by 3rd parties to modify the Android GUI/functionality and OS as a whole. Others can vote on this, but I don't believe this falls under the annoyance/issue category. Custom mods are really a different subject. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

I'm not certain what you mean by this response. Can you please clarify?
FYI - The intent of this list is to keep the issues to Android-OS related items that we'd like to see the developers fix or enhance to work better. This list should only contain issues/annoyances of the OS of official system apps themselves that we'd like to tweak or change. The whole concept behind MIUI is basically wanting to turn your Android phone, for exmaple, into an iPhone, by making the GUI behave like Apple. This is just an example as there are many various MIUI endeavors. Thes emodifications basically install custom apps and change the GUI of the OS. This would be considered an after-ROM addon and changes the fundamental design of Google's Android OS. That is not what this list is trying to get at. We want to make the Android OS, as it is intended, work better; not redesign the Android ROM altogether. I hope that makes sense.
For example - See Wintergon's previous post about not being able to mute a phone call. That's a defect/annoyance that should already work properly, so it was added to the hot list. Of course, comments, questions and other viewpoints are totally welcome.
Bluetooth
Upon reboot, I have to toggle Bluetooth on/off for anyone to hear me on a phone call.
I have flashed and used all ICS versions available except Mimiu and found this issue. I have not tried to use BT headset yet
Upnp/dlna apps (bubbleupnp, moviebrowser) do not seem to work and actually lock up the wifi requiring a restart

I don't understand. If you are not using a Bluetooth headset then why is it enabled? Is this just for them to hear you using the handset mouthpiece like a normal call?

Hmm. I use wifi pretty much the whole day at work and at home and have never had any drops. They are different routers and ISPs as well. I would look into your wifi router settings. Try downloading the app named "Wifi Analyzer" from the Android Market and make sure your router is setup to use a Channel number that no neighboring wifi networks are using.

OK. Then in that case they wouldn't make this list. You'd need to contact the developer of those apps or find working alternatives. Sorry, I know that is a bum answer.

I created an automate task to kill S voice and to launch Google Now. This helps me use the active listening wake up command feature on my note 3 to use Google now like the Moto X does. https://db.tt/X7LZSrzR
Does anyone know of a way to make the Galaxy gear button launch S voice on the phone? I'm thinking that combination would allow for Google now use from the watch since the audio would be both sent and received from the watch itself via bluetooth.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
by default the svoice is launched by double pressing the power button
but you can change it worth any other app from the gear manager

The problem is that will only launch S voice on the Galaxy Gear which has limited features. I'm looking to make it launch S voice on the phone.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
I'm still racking my brain trying to find a way. The best I've come up with so far is kinda blah but it works. I installed the eBay for gear app and assigned it to the gear button after a double press. The eBay app opens and you click the view on phone button. I created a automateit app task to kill eBay when it opens and to launch Google now instead.It would work a little better if I could get it to launch voice search instead of google now and then saying google to start the search but that is not an option in automateit. I can't figure out how to use tasker to save my life lol. The audio for Google now is played through the galaxy gear via Bluetooth. It's 3 button presses and you lose the eBay app on your phone to do this though
that's great news
hope some of the devs will jump in and help you
keep up the good work

I too would LOVE to see Full S-Voice or Google Search/Google Now on the Galaxy Gear. That was the only reason that I spent 2 days trying to get the Null rom to work but couldn't. After rooting, I could never get the custom recovery to work. Everytime I tried to boot into recovery the watch would reset itself back to the default settings and I would have to reload everything all over again. After that happened over a dozen time I just gave up.
If anyone figures out a simpler way to get Google Voice Search working on the Gear please let me know...that's all I want, and the Null roms are a long tedious way of doing it for just that one function!

Installing null takes less than 5 minutes from start to finish so not sure how long it is taking you to make it long and tedious.
As far as the constant resetting issue you had, I can only imagine you never read the OP for installing TWRP because that issue is addressed in bold.
You might want to actually read the OP for 3 minutes before wasting hours of your time from not following directions and eventually end up breaking something.

Hey StaticMatt,
Thanks for the reply. However, I don't know if you install roms for a living or what...but my understanding is that to install the Null roms you first off have to root the Gear, and unless you already have the drivers, the .tar file...etc. that can take time to dl, extract, install, etc.
Then, a custom recovery has to be flashed (along with SU, which never worked either due to errors in MobileGo which you'll also need unless using ADB, in which case you'll need that, in order to push the apps). THEN and only THEN are you ready to install Null!
Although I'm not even close to an expert, I'm also not a NOOB either. I have 2 guides that I followed EXACTLY and neither worked, so with that along with the constant resets, it took a lot longer than 5 minutes for all 3 procedures!
I'll check the info I have against the instructions/guide here in this forum and maybe try it again when I have more time, but if you were trying to say that the info here is better/more precise than maybe YouTube videos then why not just say it? But don't insult me as if I haven't done any homework first. I have 7 Android devices (6 of them I've rooted). I've been on Android since the start and I am very aware of the risks of bricking so I never take such procedures "lightly."
Hopefully, once trying it again, someone else will come to my aid with some actual "help" if I get stuck, instead of attitude and sarcasm. But thanks again at least for the reply.
Questions (regarding the Null roms on the Galaxy Gear):
* First off, I apologize if any of these questions have already been answered but...
1.) I noticed that everyone that is running Null on their Gear has a watch face that looks more like a phone home screen than an actual watch. So does the gear have to look like that when running this rom, or can one still run apps like Watch Styler and still have "full screen" watch faces without the 4 little apps buttons at the bottom of the face?
2.) Once running Null can you set the double-tap launch app to Google Search using the Gear Manager? This is really my main goal. I'd simply like to be able to double-tap my watch button and give Google Search my voice commands, so I don't want to find out after hacking that you can't set it up that way for some reason.
3.) When on Null, can you still have all the same Gear functions like the Media Controller, Notifications, Pedometer, Voice Memo, etc. or would I then have to run all full apps like Google Music, PowerAmp, etc.?
4.) Lastly, how easy is it to revert back to stock if not liking Null? Would I have to reflash the stock image, and if so, how in depth is that process? I'm guessing that I would just open Odin and reflash the one file, but I'd like someone to confirm that please if you don't mind.
Modding this watch seems a bit different than all the phones that I've modded with custom roms (i.e. even the way apps are loaded is quite different in that you can't just attach to a PC via USB and simply drag & drop anymore. It's now all Wondershare MobileGo or ADB and all).
Thanks.

1) these 4 little icons is the dock. most of us are using nova launcher, i personally disabled the dock because it's not necesarry to keep these items on top all the time.
2) i'm not sure if that is possible. perhaps if you don't use nova launcher but something else, you can keep the double tap shortcut. mine is set to power on/power off the screen.
3) you can use 'stock' apps with no issues. i'm using pedometer, notifications and media controller. for the rest i found a replacement apps.
4) i never done it, but it will be 'as easy' as putting custom rom on it. but frankly.. there is no reason not to have null. you can keep null rom and just use stock launcher if that's your liking..

Thanks so much Hurdlejade! I really appreciate your response. It's also good to know that what I'm ultimately trying to do with Null may not even be possible (setting double-tap to Google Search/Google Now). I wish the Galaxy Gear version of S-Voice was much better!!!
I really want to be able to invoke Google Now with a double-tap as well, but have had no luck so far.
An alternative that I'm using that is also very convenient is to assign Google Now to one of the long-press button on UDN.
It's more difficult to invoke if you aren't in a situation where you can easily perform the swiping (like driving), but it beats having to scroll through home screens or the app drawer to get to it.

I use gmd gesture control. You can set a gesture like a double tap for opening an app like Google now. I also use gestures to launch tasker tasks.
I'm trying to enable WiFi tether with tasker for arunchained. I have the secure settings app and it doesn't toggle WiFi tether. It comes up as an error when running the task. Anyone have any luck with this?
Same issue here and have seen it on several other threads..... have not seen a solution to this yet. I've used Tasker and Trigger in the past with no problems, but can't get either to turn Hotspot on/off.
Strange...
I just tried with both the built in Tasker toggle and Secure Settings and both times Wi-Fi Hotspot turned on without a problem.
What's the error?

I found a wrokaround that allows you to still tether automatically with Tasker. I posted my results here in the Tasker Groups page. More or less you simulate screen taps to use the standard phone quick setting in the notification pulldown window. Send a PM or hit me up on Hangouts if you need any help figuring it out.
Thanks @andrewjt19 I'll have to give this a go later! I actually found an app that will toggle Wi-Fi tether automatically, but it is paid. I wonder what method the app uses to do it, I never checked on a debugger and I'm not even sure I would know what I am looking at. It is a shame to have to pay for something that should be such a simple procedure.
The app is called toggle WiFi hotspot 5.0 by Erwin Goslawski.

I found this widget and bought it too. It works well. I guess I'm glad I found an alternative methods of this stops working at some point. The only downside to my method is that the screen must be on and off the user is interacting with the device when the script runs, it could interfere this not activating the intended purpose. But overall it's simple and efficient. Thanks for sharing this widget though.

I had been having this problem on my 5x and just found a solution with xposed. I installed the xposed module 'x tether' which says it enables tethering for the moto x phones and afterwards tasker is able to enable / disable the wifi hotspot. This is the first thread that came up on google when I searched for this problem so I thought I would post here in case someone else encounters the same problem.
Couple of quick questions.
Camera quick launch stopped working for me. I can double tab the home button and it doesn't start. If I go to the camera settings and toggle it off then on, it will work again for a little while, but shortly after it will stop again. Any suggestions?
Second thing, I use Google Now launcher, but wanted to turn TouchWiz back on for a little bit, just to play with it and see if I wanted to stick with TW for a while, but when I go to settings, Default apps, Home, Google now is selected, and TW (as well as TW Easy) are greyed out and say "Doesn't support work profiles". I don't see anywhere to change work profiles, or set up profiles at all...
Thanks,

I'm actually having these exact same issues, I thought I was losing my mind. However I'm using just the S6, not the S6 edge. Does not support work profiles makes me think that it might be related to Samsung Knox?
Edit: Apparently the quick launch feature is, understandably, permanently greyed out in the samsung knox version of the camera app. Perhaps some of the settings are spilling out into the regular phone environment?

Well, since I posted this I reset the quick launch (again) and it seems to have stuck this time. I turned it off, rebooted, turned it on, rebooted, and it seems to be sticking now for several days anyway.
Regarding TouchWiz, I uninstalled MyKnox that I had set up for work email (they want device admin, so I only do it in Knox so they can't erase my device), and I could pick TouchWiz again, so that was it. I quickly went back to Google Now Launcher again anyway .
Maybe Quick Launch of the camera has been working because Knox was uninstalled? I'll re-install and see what happens.
Hi.. I am having the exact same issue with my launcher
But I don't see where I can change the settings for the work profiles
I never apply for any work profile/Samsung Knox.. So i really have no idea to change the settings
Please help
