Does it exist on the evo? Haven't purchased mine yet, so I was just curious if htc has fixed that problem in their latest device.

Wasn't a problem, but I adjusted my polling from the default setting of 2 to 1 anyway... There is absolutely no lag on my phone.
I remember that problem from my hero and the evo has virtually none at all.

You will need your msl to change that and remember this uses more battery. Basically you're changing the rate ay which the Evo sends the tower a signal to check for texts and calls

In dialer type ##data# , choose edit, enter your msl, go to advanced, tap slot cycle index. The default setting is 2, each increment add 1.3 seconds per poll. I actually just moved mine back to 2, still no lag.
Changing the slot cycle isn't going to solve the ring lag problem. The problem is with the phone and/or software on the phone. You can prove it yourself by enabling debugging on the phone, place a call to the phone and then run the command "adb bugreport > outfile.txt" (yes you need adb installed) next open the file you created called outfile.txt and search for the phone number that you called from, note the time stamp it first appears in. Next search down the logfile for where the screen is actually turned on, it should say something like "screenstate=true" note the time stamp. you'll find that the phone knows about the call for roughly 11 seconds prior to it starting to ring.

Sounds like a program is running in the background. I would get a task manager open and frequently check to see what app is staying open the most.

Yea, so ive brought this up before and i see the power button still being the first mechanical button to break over time. Mainly because you have to press it constantly just to use the phone or wake the phone up to use.
So heres some ideas, correct me or critique them, and reply if theres already good alternatives/apps out there.
I know some of these ideas can drain the battery, but work with me on this...
- When an sms/mms is received i want the screen to auto turn on. Windows mobile did this from what i remember and it was a novelty.
- Be able to turn the screen on by swiping one or two of the lower capacitive buttons instead of pressing the power button.
- Have the screen dim to its lowest setting instead of fully turning off. (dunno how battery draining this can be) Windows mobile did this as well.
- Have an app monitor the motion sensor in the phone to where if you pick the phone up from a flat surface (horiz position) the screen auto turns on.. and maybe an extra option of having the screen turn on if theres a shake or jostle (of course you could adjust the sensitivity). But having this app running in the background all the time could be draining. I mean shiii.. the phone knows when youre in call and if your phone is up to your head so why cant we have that feature to turn on the screen instead of using the power button.
I would pay good money for someone to develop this. An all in one app that includes all those options. I'll do the graphic work if need be.
Most of that seems a little out there and un-doable, but I do know that Handcent has an option to turn on your phone when a sms/mms is received with a small box in the center of the screen for a quick reply. Hope that helps a little.
^^^ beat me to it.
if you use smspopup or handcent, they both have option for the screen to come on when you get a new text message.
they also popup a box to read the message and have the option to quick reply or go to the messaging app. you can turn this off tho and just have the screen wake up for any where from 10 seconds to like 5 minutes.

How so? Phone turns quiet when picked up im sure it can be set to turn on when picked up. SMS as someone mentioned, handcent does. Apparently "screebl" does the screen turn on, testing now.
you can use an app called no lock that will allow you to use the volume buttons to wake the phone, i don't think that you'll be able to wake by using that capacitive buttons - this would essentially mean that your phone would never sleep.
and I'm almost positive that you can set up a profile in tasker to take care of the dimming instead of turning off the screen. In fact, you could probably set up most, if not all of these through various tasker profiles.
Not to mention how much battery it would waste polling the accelerometer to see if it's been moved.

actually those are all things that seem pretty mainstream from an OS derived from the most robust OS out there [linux]. Yes, those can all be done on android. Unfortunately there is a lack of programmers ... Especially to something that probably wont appeal to the ones we do have...
Also some kernel modifications will be necessary...
Im sorry i cant do this for you... If i could I would... Just because our phones can... and a couple of those things should already be with us...
Someone help us!!
Coming from the iphone. I loved the look of the evo... but I now miss the home button for this exact reason. Lol
The swiping of the captive keys sounds great. I doubt its doable though..
EDIT: ok, screebl is cool. And eliminates the need to press the power to put it to sleep... but it doesn't wake it up when picked up, so it solves half the problem.

i'd rather keep the default stock sms app rather than delving into something 3rd party.

Hi, I have yet to find a way to prevent the screen from powering down in my Samsung Focus. I have it set to 5 minutes but with a charger attached, I really should be able to keep the screen on if I need it... which I do.
A simple setting: "Never" would work. I am old enough to establish my battery usage
Am I missing something here? With Android, this option was available in the Development settings.
Thanks
maybe there's not an option for that yet. Just set your display settings to never and force timeout yourself by clicking the power button?
you have the option to set it to never but that option goes away when you are charging? did you set your phone up to an exchange server? i know when i did mine the never option went away.
Whoa.. where is this "Never" option you guys are referring to?
I go to Settings > Lock & Wallpaper > Screen Time Out = 5 Minutes (Which is the max setting) Other choices are 30 Sec., 1 Min and 3 Min.
Thanks for the replies!

Ouch! So that was something the manufacturers could change and Samsung screwed it up. 'Never' option makes a lot of sense.
That is deeply disappointing. Is it something that can be altered via an update?

Exactly! I have been looking into this more and it seems the developers can code something to prevent this from happening with their apps.
Hopefully someone will develop something to allow the screen to stay on (I will pay), or maybe one of you uber-wise experts will find a backdoor setting.

Never option is only available if you're not using a password. Turn the password option on, the never option isn't available. At least that's how it works on my Quantum.
Yesterday, after playing with Samsung "Diagnosis" software, somehow I've got "Never" option set.

Sorry, nope. But I wish so!.. For development it's very useful option. BTW, it's possible - 100% proof. So, we just need to figure out how to...

P.P.S. FYI: I've played (mostly) with *#0*#...
Well thanks for the effort sensboston! Hopefully you can crack the code. FWIW I called Samsung in Canada (went nowhere) and posted the question on Samsung.com (waiting for it to get approved)

1) What SMS app are you using?
2) Don't tell your friends about this problem or you are certain to get 100 ill timed text messages that say things like "I love gay porn!" and "Man, it sure is roomy in these pants!"
Off hand my first guess is to completely uninstall the SMS app, make sure all the directories that save settings are deleted too, and reinstall. That's the first thing I'd do. If that doesn't work....I dunno....call a priest for an exorcism?

nope. The only thing i can think of is i installed that new cluzee app, the Siri knockoff.
Edit :
I think i may of found the problem. There is a "cluzee reader" setting that is on by default. I turned it off, i'll see what happens.
Doing a fresh ROM install or even reverting back to a working save are guaranteed fixes. I figured you'd rather not have to reset everything though.
I'd bet the cluzee setting you found fixes it though.
agg! this started happening to me yesterday... i did recently install cluzee and llama, but last i looked the "reader" was set to "off" in cluzee.... and none of my "accessability" things are trned on..... i see that unsder <settings><voice input and output> under output that pico TTS is installed but "always use my settings" box is unchecked.... really annoying at work when i get a text.... thank goodness it wasnt a personal message or what not... aside from reloading everything - is there any other settign i should check. im useing the factory "messaging" app on my MTS4G...

Hi guys, I got hold of my nexus 6p today and I've installed a couple of my most used apps. One of those is the NatWest banking app (UK). However whenever I try to sign in, it says that there is another app trying to interfere with it, and FCs. Now I haven't installed any different apps to what I had on my old phone, so I was just wondering if anyone had the same experience?
Also just to confirm I do not have flux or anything like that running!

I had the same issue on my Nexus 6p but I tried disable all the app if possible. That was natwest support answer. But that didn't work for me but what did work is when you press the keys to enter your phone number to activate the app. Each press do it very very slowly. I think that what ever other app or process is interfering with the natwest app stops reading the key presses after a few seconds. That give you enough time to type the rest of the numbers needed start the activation of the natwest app.

Thanks for your advice.
I tried that and I managed to type in the second line by typing a new number every 10 seconds , however when trying to type the first line it always had the pop up at the 4th number! No matter how slow I go! Really frustrating! But at least that's progress!
Right guys I have found out what the issue was! The issue was - the numbers I was typing in a row. For some reason it didn't like me typing 0741. (The start of my number). I found a way around this by typing out the rest of the phone number then adding the bit it didn't like afterwards! And it worked! I've managed to get on the app now!
E.g
If your number is 1234567890
Type like 124567890 then add the 3 after!
Hope that helps!

Glad to hear that you managed to get the app activated, it's a very strange thing that my number also start 0741. Surely it's not that nos series that is causing the issue. Very very strange. Hopefully the Nat west support team will see our tips in the xda developers. :fingers-crossed:
