I used autoneuter and am running zeam launcher. I was pretty pissed the ipad had a switch for disabling screen rotation ( not anymore apparently) and wished there was some way to do it on my nook when laying down in bed reading.
I was messing with the screen and i found out touching the wifi/battery/clock area at the bottom right of the screen opens up Quick settings which has "wifi, mute, oreitnation, and brightness"!
I may be really slow but I was SUPER happy about this and wanted to share incase anyone else missed it.
I am not sure if this is part of autoneuter, zeam, or softkeys ( installed by autoneuter) but thought I'd share for those of you who don't know about it.
It's part of the stock B&N software.

As stated above its part of the B&N framework. Its actually a great setup except for its location. I love the notifications being a popup instead of a drag down.
BTW, there's a bunch of ways to get this same setting. In fact Extended Controls Widget has an orientation lock toggle that will handle that in one click if you want.
I can't find extended controls in the market... i've been using it on my Aria and wanted to use it for my nook too...?

I just started using Tasker on my Droid X running Liberty GB and am loving it. Last night I installed tasker on my gtab running CalkClem V6 and was wondering if anyone has any gtab/tablet specific profiles or tips?
So far I have only used Tasker on the gtab to automatically turn off the screen when the case closes. The profile activates when the light sensor is at zero. The corresponding actions are wait 4 seconds and then lock device. I'm betting I will have trouble with this profile when using the gtab in a very dark room, so I might have to restrict this profile to only daylight hours.
I'm also considering using tasker to shut down the gtab automatically every night at around 2AM just in case I left it running and it's not plugged in.
Anyone doing anything interesting with tasker and the gtab?

That's actually REALLY useful! I'm going to go find it on the market in a little bit...
Tasker is $6.42 in the marketplace, which seems a bit expensive for an automation app... until you've tried it. The dev's site has a 7 day trial apk if you want to give it a spin. You can backup all profiles from the trial and restore them to the purchased app if you like it.

I just created a profile on my droid x that plays beyondpod and sets the media volume to a specific level every time my Bluetooth headphones are connected.
sorry if I sound like a shill, but it's just so awesome...
Oh, its a paid app.
I like the idea, but not enough to spend that much on it. Maybe if it were a 99 cent app.
I'm almost certain there is a free app to do just the case close screen off portion. I remember seeing it here on the forum a while back.
That would be clutch, as I just got my case today and would love to make that happen!
To the op, could you post instruction on how to do what you did with locking screen when light sensor is zero? I'm struggling. With it.
Tasker isn't the most intuitive tool in the world, so here is how I achieved the case close, screen off profile:
Open tasker
tap "New" to create a new profile and name it anything
tap "State"
tap "Light Level"
set top slider at 0 and set bottom slider between 1 and 4 (higher number will help if your case doesn't block all the light)
tap "Done"
tap "New Task" and name it anything
tap "+"
tap "Tasker"
tap "Wait"
The second slider is seconds. This will determine how long the delay is between when you close your case and when the screen turns off. I selected 4 seconds to avoid accidentally covering the sensor with my finger.
scroll down and tap "done"
tap "+" again
tap "Display"
tap "System Lock"
tap "Done"
Tasker will need to gain a new permission from the OS at this point. Be sure to read the warnings that will pop up.
tap "Done"
tap "Apply" and make sure the "On" check box is selected in the bottom right
That should do it. If this doesn't work you may want to confirm that your light sensor is functioning properly (I've only tested this on CalkClem V6). To do that I downloaded one of the "phone sensor" apps from the marketplace.
Nvm, I'm an idiot.

Haha, my original problem was I couldn't find "system lock". But in the back of my mind I was trying to look for "lock system". Only saw "lock" but no "lock system". I was like "wtf?"
Then after going on a rampage through my kitchen, I went back to the gtab and found "system lock".
May be I should get my eyes checked soon. Been a few years since last time.
By the way, thank you for recommending this app for me. I'm waiting for my clip case to arrive. Man, it will be slick. Has tested it a dozen times now. The screen shut off every time.
The thing is too bad the other way around doesn't work. I tried to set up the reverse to turn it on when there's light and the gtab wouldn't turn on.
Any idea how to restrict this to daytime hours? Nevermind. My dumbass found it.
You can restrict it to daylight hours by tapping the left side of the profile and selecting "add." From there you can set the hours in which this profile can be activated.
Just in case any onlookers were interested.
Check out gestures in tasker too. You can do things like mute the tab by rotating it left then right.

Hello all,
Was wondering if anyone is having the same issue as I am. My lock screen doesn't seem to actually lock the phone.. i.e. if you press an app without sliding it up, it just opens. The lock icon, however, is still displayed. My lock screen style is set to productivity, and that still all works, and I have no security set up. It's worth noting that it was working with no issues up until a day ago, and nothing has changed :/
For further clarification:
By not working, I mean that before I used to have to slide the tab up, or to launch an app I would have to drag it up, but now that doesn't work.
Here's a video showing what I mean:

This just started happening to my AT&T HTC One tonight! I found this post by doing a search to see if anyone else had experienced this same issue on their One.
Also I can no longer drag the icons at the bottom of my lockscreen up to get into that particular app. And pressing anywhere on the lockscreen seems to unlock the phone and take me to the desktop.
I'm using the "music lockscreen" style, fyi.

I just figured out what was causing it on mine... I actually received my Pebble smartwatch in the mail today and had installed the Pebble Android app onto my One. This also required going into the Settings on my One and enabling Accessibility for the Pebble and Pebble Notifier and these 2 accessibility settings were what was causing the lockscreen to behave this way.
Don't see anyway to get around it so far...

Wow aha actually I did install the pebble app just before it started happening.. I wonder if it's a problem on pebble's side or htc... good catch though!
Yeah, not sure of that either. I just wondered and posted about this myself in another XDA thread I found on this very same topic:

I have got this on my HTC one, I have come from an iphone and wanted to have the screen turn on when any emails are received. These show up on the lockscreen so when I'm driving if I get an email the screen turns on.
I can use several apps to do this but they all require to be enabled in Accessibility, if I do that the lockscreen unlocks when its touched anywhere as mentioned earlier without swiping. If I disable the accessibility setting its all back to normal but the app doesnt work....ie. the screen doesn't come on.
Any one figured this out yet?

I found a work around for it. It requires root access, Tasker and Secure Settings.
What I did was create a Context that is activated when the display is on and then using Secure Settings, disable all Accessibility for all events. As an exit task, I re-enable all my accessibility apps.
Now when i turn on my display, I actually have to slide to unlock.

Tasker has a bit of a learning curve, and hopefully this will get you started.

Thanks for the write up its really appreciated. I'll give it a go.....

Efox29. That works very well.. Thanks again for the advice.
I've got this set up as well but for me it is extremely hit and miss. Nearly 50% of the time I still get the single touch unlock and the other half of the time tasker works perfectly. The only thing I can think of is that my pin unlock causes a problem but why only half the time.
Anyone else have this problem?
I suppose I should be happy my problem has been cut in half but I wish it was completely consistent.

It's not ideal but works ok, for me it's better than nothing.
M.
Actually having used this tasker solution for a few days now it works about 75% of the time and seems more reliable if the screen has been off for a while vs reactivating the screen very soon after turning off. Still sometimes I get the one touch unlock after the screen being locked for hours. On the whole the accessibility problem still really annoys me but I agree this solution is better than nothing and so far I haven't had any more accidental call answers.

has anyone noticed that another issue with this accessibility bug is that the screen will flicker or flash black for a split second after unlocking? again, this only happens after you turn on accessibility for an app.
How to get rid of "Samsung Account Notice" on home screen?
When I bring my watch up to look the main clock shows up along with the "Samsung Account Notice" at the bottom of screen.
I've swiped left to get rid of it as to see the whole clock, but when it goes to sleep, it comes back the next time I look at watch. I've swiped up and it says "Tap here to see details" and tapping does nothing, but when I swipe left, it says "Open on Phone" my phone lights up, but it shows nothing on there.
What do I do and how do I get rid of it? Very irritating!

I just got this watch yesterday, so I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
BTW, the vibration on this is crummy... one short weak burst that I hardly feel.
Having some regrets about getting this as I bought it for text alerts.
Also out of the blue, I get the "step" box. I don't want it so why is it showing up sometimes?
Can I disable that feature?
I'm not getting any answers to my questions above?
I've never seen the "Samsung Account Notice" that you mention, so I'm not sure what the cause or resolution might be, but have you set up the Samsung stuff on the phone? maybe there is something incomplete or incorrect there. Check in Settings->Security on the phone.
For the "Step" card, go to the "Google Search" screen that shows up when you tap the awake screen, scroll to "Show me my steps" and select it, swipe left 2x, and change "Show step card" to off.

Thanks! I will try that...
I am absolutely certain I saw this in the settings a few days ago, but I can't find it now and a search of settings is coming up with nothing.
Basically, it was a way to set up split screen but having both sides of the screen active. This was demonstrated in the settings as having a dancing stick figure in the active window and when I turned on "both sides active" (or whatever it is actually called) then both stick figures started dancing.
Can anyone help me find this setting again? I've been through every single option in the settings and can't see it anywhere!
Thanks
I think that's a Good lock setting.

Speaking of split screen.....
On my s8 I could tap the middle bar of the 2 apps I am running split and it gives me option to flip the two easily. I can't figure out for the life of me how to do this on the s10. Is it possible?
