Don't know how this has stopped working.
If you keep the square icon pressed on the notification bar it should switch automatically to the previous app you were using. this is good for multi-tasking and you can quickly switch.
Problem - if I keep it pressed, nothing happens. If I press it briefly I get the normal recent app list.
Very annoying and I cannot figure out what I have changed to stop this amazing feature.
Please help.
I did never realized about that feature. In fact, it was one of the first thing I tried because my previous smartphone had that feature, but it did never work with my P9. I bought it last week, and that feature was never available, at least in my case of course

on the p8 it was definitely possible - check out the youtube tips and tricks. why would they remove the feature?
I dread updating my phone for reasons like this. (

Yes, it was really useful in my previous phone. Anyway, for me is not such a big problem. If you press that button to access the last tabs, the first one that appear in front of you is the last one used. So, with a couple of fast taps, you're in your previous app, no sweep needed.

If you have root, gesture control let's you set a gesture to switch to last app (like alt+tab on Windows)

I've been using ART for a week now. Have a lot of apps, business, productivity, even third party's, but no games. I must say that I haven't had any single crash or malfunction and the system is amazingly fast and stable. I'm on stock 4.4 though. Never thought to go back to dalvik.

Same here. ART has been working fine for me as well. I don't know that I really notice it being a lot faster but it sure doesn't appear any slower either. I believe Titanium Backup, which I use, had an issue as well but a THINK they have issued an update for that.
Xposed (and thus gravitybox ) are not art compatible yet. I'll switch when that changes

I haven't switched to ART on my Moto X yet because I generally treat me phone as needing to be stable all the time. I did switch to ART on my Nexus 7, though, and most apps worked just fine. My Yahoo Sports app experiences a very long delay (~5 seconds) when I try to look at any individual game stats for the first time after I open the app.
My NFL Sunday Ticket app also doesn't appear to be as stable, sometimes force closing which I didn't usually get before, but I haven't done back-to-back testing to see if it's actual cause/effect.
Good to know. Im using Gravitybox and i have noticed the performance slowed down a bit. But nothing important.

So what exactly is the benefit of switching to ART?

I just switched to ART last night on my moto x and am having the same experience you detail. If an app is already open, its lightening fast to respond/open back up. But some apps when opening for the first time take longer than they did on dalvik. Facebook for instance, takes nearly twice as long to initially open.
Tip (if you havent already) - under developer options, change the window, transition and animator duration to .5 seconds (down from 1 second). Its literally instantaneous moving between apps and such.
Anyone having issues with switching to ART? Every time I pick the ART option, the phone reboots and just reverts back to Dalvik. This is on a Moto X Dev. Edition.
I switched to apps and I think I noticed things going smoother and faster (scrolling and opening-switching apps). But that just might be the placebo effect at work.
Then WhatsApp stopped working so I had to switch back to dalvik
I don't know if someone has discovered this neat feature or Bug(maybe?) of 4.4 (exists in 4.4.2 too).
Click on app drawer and quickly press 2 things, home button and then quickly single press the screen dots icon(which shows home many homescreens you have) present above the app drawer icon.
It opens widgets. I'm sure it didn't exist when I had nexus 4 with 4.3, Works on nexus 5. I could record a screen recording to show what m talking about but there is no option for that in stock(correct me if m wrong). I used to do that all the time in cataclysm ROM easily with toggles.
It's a known bug but it was removed in 4.4.1/2...at least for me.

Hi to everyone,
I have a little problem...
When I put my phone charging, sometimes it turns off alone. Isn't all time.
When I wake up and I'll take it, sometimes it is off...
The problem started when I upgraded to 9.2.A.0.295.
Anyone else is having this problem?

It's a well known bug. I use safe charge app from playstore and I don't face that problem again.

How do i do that? Preferably without a computer
Settings/application manager/all apps.
On that list tap on app name and select disabled. That's all.

Its more than just disabling any app. We need to know exactly what is causing the lag. If it is an app, then which app? We cant just be disabling any app and hope one stops the lag. There is another post which discusses the same lag issue but there is still not one single solution to it. After several updates on the phone, it still has not solved the lag issue. I am using a N920CD, I get the lag everyday for couple of seconds.
Does anyone know of a proper permanent fix? What is actually causing the lag ?

Actually, I had lag on mines when I updated to the latest firmware apa2. I went back to aok7 and its running perfect again.
Ok, I have to retract, lag still here. It's not lag it's a random freeze when unlock screen
Enviado desde mi SM-N920G mediante Tapatalk
Yeah, such an expensive device and it has been lagging/freezing since I bought it. The updates have not fixed the issue. We need a fix. If anyone out here know of a fix, do let us know. Sometimes I feel like smashing the phone on the ground, especially when I need to act quickly to make a call or answer a call and it freezes, p***** me off differently.

You lie. you're really really nasty. You LIE and leave hateful comments everywhere you go. You should be banned.
Hi all,
I have the P9 since a few days. I've noticed a quite light distortion (a little 'crank') but only with a particular sound, that one that sounds when you click on the microphone button to enable voice recognition, for example on google now or play store. When I press that microphone button, sometimes it starts with a very very short and light 'crank' (I don't know how to call it). It doesn't happen always, only sometimes.
Has anyone noticed?
Regards
Can anybody try please?
Thanks!

Something similar to this?
I'm pretty sure that's because the speakers and/or amplifier only turn on when used, thus sometimes making that "crackling" noise as if you plugged in headphones
Yes, that's the sound. I understand what you say, but I've only experienced it with this phone

I don't think we can do much about it, either. Seems like a hardware thing. Doesn't really bother me much though, but I understand if it's annoying to you.
Thanks for the response. I only would like to know if it is a particular problem with my phone or a general one.
