Looking for a sleep cycle app

Hi all
I switched before a week ago from my iPhone to HTC desire and I look since this for a app like Sleep cycle.
I had this on my IPhone and really loved it.
Can someone help me?
Cheers

I think you're looking for something like Smart Alarm. A google search for "sleep circle android" would have done the trick...

Haha yes sometimes Google make the life easier just thought about to ask because this app didnt had the best reviews.

accelerometer sensitive alarm clock for Desire S
Did anyone give a satisfactory reply? I am doing excalty the same as you Nephaholic - coming from iPhone, and I agree that Sleep Cycle was the best thing I've ever used. I work circadian-breaking hours so that app vastly increased my quality of life.
At the moment I'm tired p) of sifting through poor quality android alarm apps that don't use the accelerometer of the Desire S and just work out the best time for you wake up based on time-alarm-was-set. That is - irrespective of if you've woken up in the middle of the alarm's 'cycle', had to pee, feed the babies or whatever.
I've seen some accelerometer alarms or not compatible with the Desire S.
Did you find one?

i use Sleep as an Droid

How to accurately test touchscreen performance

Hey all.
I'm having some problems with my N7's touchscreen becoming unresponsive after using it for a while and it's fixed by turning on and off the screen. I know I'm not the only one by far, but I want to prove/see for once and for all that my touchscreen is imperfect. This way I can indicate the problem to other people as well as test any replacement model I will be getting.
Please share any good methods/ideas here so we can help eachother.

Easiest way is to turn on the show touch option under developer options, it will show a little dot every where you touch, after I did this I could fully see that my tablet wasnt recognizing a lot of my touches. Its definitely an issue and I'm exchanging mine tonight to see if I can get one that doesnt do this, but I dont have much hope on that because I think its the way these are designed that they will eventually have this issue, I got mine pretty much on launch day and havent had any problems that I've noticed till the past couple weeks to a month, it didnt do this for the first month or two I had it, a co-worker got one for her son and his is already doing it on occasion, so I think this is more widespread than people know

Thanks for your reply. Using Kaos 3.7.3 now and must say that I haven't had any problems with the touchscreen so far. Still testing though. Touch indicator is also enabled for now, to test morr accurately.

Testing the drivers, but the issue is back... RMAing this I guess, but wanna wait for the next load.

I've read around and it seems that it doesn't matter which batch you get be it c60, c70, c80 or even c90 the problem still exists including screen lifts.
Most likely wide spread, just not sure whether it's hardware or software related. I'm hoping it's the latter so google can release a fix

Do you use all the features?

I'm planning on getting the htc one but some of these features seem really cool on the s4, so my question is do you use them all or are they just a bunch of gimmicks.

Really the only one that has impressed me is the eraser mode on the camera that removes moving objects... otherwise, all the "smart" features stay off. Battery hogs to the max.

Unless you use the "smart" features you don't know that for a fact. I have been using the smart features on and off for over a week, with the features / gimmicks on and running there isn't much battery drain at all.
While a lot of the features are gimmicks some are actually very useful.
Smart stay - (the best one out of all them, should be in stock Android)
Quick glance - (use this all time while it's on my desk or on a table)
Air view - (helps me dig through text messages fast and zoom in on some websites)
Air gesture - (I actually go in the gallery a lot and this makes browsing photos more fun and... natural? in a sense)
Palm motion - (use this all the time to answer phone calls and mute or pause music also use it to capture screenshots
Direct call - (I have to admit it's nice and very useful to just directly call someone while simply just moving the phone to your head while in the texting or contacts app)

I used Air View for a bit but it made my screen too sensitive which i used those specific programs.
besides that the only Air feature that i might turn on is Air Call Accept. And it only works during phone calls so its not bad.
The watchon TV controller thing is a bit weird. Doesnt work all the time..

Today I was eating lunch with my phone next to me. Got a call and used the gesture to answer and have the speaker turn on without me touching the phone. That was nice. Voice control camera is cool, but saying different things changes how the camera shoots. I'm still figuring that one out.

Thanks for the replies, none of these sounds useful to me.

Alright, i apologize for the snap judgement. Im fanatical about battery, and they do drain extra, which to me is unacceptable for what you get in exchange. Was much more impressed with the smart stay than any of the new ones, and depending on how many times you let the screen almost time out it can add a fairly substantial amount.
Your right, i should probably rephrase my 'hog' assessment, im probably more picky than others about battery. .

Any review... What's your take on the device.... Tq...
Sent from my SM-N920C using XDA-Developers mobile app

Well probably not a complete review. First of all it's a great phone.
- Display Full HD with great colors, who needs more?
- Overall performance, not playing game so not much to say here. Definitly a better feel then the OnePlus Two I was useing before. Can't really pinpoint why...
- Camera is good for everyday use. Nothing to exciting here.
- QuickCharge 2 is great, though I miss Qi charging (why is that not a thing anymore? Even Ikea sells qi chargers now...)
- Sound is probably the best I ever heard on a mobile
Just two annoyances:
1. You have press the freaking bell on the lockscreen.
2. A builtin task killer!? Why? Killed my alarm clock twice before I found out what was going on.

what about audio chip? the same as greater?

Yeah Audio is by far the best I had on a mobile. This is true for loudspeaker, calls and headphones.
Chipset here is supposed to be the sames as with the normal Axon 7.
I just encountered the first real issue:
Problem: When speakerphone is enabled the other party can not hear you.
Solution: Disable "OK Google" detection.

can you make few photos in day and night? and video for example street view to check the sensitivity of the microphone- full HD, give link to mega.nz

Can you elaborate on that? How can I configure the task killer / keep the alarm from getting killed?

Well, the Task Killer is hiding under Energy Settings. You can select not to kill it there. But still it took me two days to figure out why it was happening.
About the Fotos. Let's see how the weather is outside the next couple of days. I'm pretty sure there are already a couple of youtube Videos out there, which already tested the camera thouroghly.

Are you using the built in clock for alarm or a third party app? The built in clock does not show up in the app list in the energy settings for me.

Hi guys, I received my Axon 7 Mini yesterday. From all the information on the internet I was under the impression that the device supports 802.11 ac (5Ghz) but now it doesn't seem to find my network. Do I have a defective unit or can you guys confirm that?
Thanks,
rien

How is the battery life?.. What SOT can u get... Tq
Sent from my SM-N920C using XDA-Developers mobile app

As for me battery life is fine. It's about 2 days in average use.
Can't confirm about AC-wifi. I'm still using old N-standart router.

Hi,
I am using the Axon 7 mini now for a few days.
First of all, I'm very happy with this phone. But I have some problems.
When I tap on top of the screen the phone moves my apps and the are sorted another way I want them.
Next thing, all of the movies I receive in Whatsapp stop after a few seconds. But the sound goes on. So you have to wait and at some point (video ends) the sound is killed, then the video starts running again but without sound. Is anyone else here with a similar problem? I just hoped to receive a custom rom or something else for the phone because I think there is much potential in this thing.

I was looking at this phone to recommend to a friend, but I'm distressed that there isn't much of a community here. Should I be worried about recommending this phone? It really looks like a good deal for someone with a budget of $300.

Look at axon mini thread here on XDA. Locked bootloader, root after a few months and only by some Chinese stuff, not working on updates by manufacturer, lack of custom roms... That's the major thing you should consider before buy. I think that's not worth $300 +/-.
Maybe if phone would not have SW issues, but I don't believe ZTE could do it.
Nevertheless, axon mini had major price drop after several months on market - from more than $300 to $180.

Hey all. I've had an Axon 7 Mini for a few weeks now and have been writing pros, cons, etc. about it on the ZTE USA community forums -- I can't post a link because I'm new here
I'm in the UK, and shipped mine in from Germany. I have the same model as the OP, but the grey version, with V1.0.0B02 software. It hasn't had any software updates since I've had it, but I'm hoping the Mini will also get an update to make the notification bell optional (and the LED customisable if possible).
I consistently get around 5.5hrs screen on time, but this drops if the location settings are on. It has great coverage on the UK giffgaff network, and I didn't have to edit any APN settings for 4G and MMS to work.

Thanks to all who have posted. Any info about RF reception? Many complained the Axon 7 has poor RF and WiFi reception.
Also, how's the sound on headphones? Can you tell us if it has WiFi AC (5 GHz)? This is still unclear to me.

A bit disheartened to see a complete lack of support for this thing so far, as I was looking for something a bit smaller to replace my LG V10--but I like my root.

It will get updates, probably Android 7.0 pretty soon, the thing is you guys have gotten the phone so fast, lol. You'll have updates during these months don't worry.

Always On Display : how to control with tasker

Well,
One of the lacks of our G6 is the notification led.
And I hate with allways display being allways on....
Anyone knows a way we can task to turn on always on display only when we have a new notification?
I think it whould be great and very battery friendly!

There are some 3rd parties apps in play store, search ambient display.

Ok. I will.
But I whould like to use the default allways on display, but with this settings!

Sent from my LG-H870 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Me too, I would prefer also an implementation more like ambient display with gestures.

Also interested in that feature. It would be awesome if the screen just comes on when there is a new notification. It makes no sense to have it on all the time.
I don't know why lg does not implement this feature but packs all the "second screen" menus from the v10 as hidden menus into the g6.
The g6 is awesome (even with 32gb, no quad dac and ir... come on lg... but i bought it anyways), but now i just found out how much i miss the notification led from my gnex and i can't tolerate excessive battery drain by having an lcd on all day when there is no new information.

What “exzessive battery drain“?

Yes it switches off but for me it does not need to be on when there is no notification.
That would reduce the drain even more when >90% of the time there is nothing to be seen and if i want to see the time i can switch it on myself.
Just as an alternative to the missing notification led. Would be a very handy feature to minimize the backlight time and still see notifications and i am sure others would love that too.

Okay I agree with the LED. It is a fine feature.
I want AOD also for the time so it has to be shown.
Otherwise more customizations would be nice.
In your case "show only new notifications" for example.
LG has to consider that it should be not to complicated.

I was hoping we would get background images like samsungs on AOD.

Anyone to help with a tweak or something?

Of course there's a battery drain. It may be minimized but it's definitely there.
LG wouldn't include a switch for it in battery saver if it didn't.

This is what I found to Samsung devices :

The setting is not named aod_mode. If someone would find out what is this settings name, we could manage it with Tasker. I for sure would like to have AOD on, only when I have a notification.
Sent from my LG-H870 using Tapatalk

Guess I'm on the other side of the coin, I think this complaint is ridiculous, I like the AOD notification or not, with the addition of an led notification it would better.. It doesn't drain enough battery for me to care, if you don't want to see it turn the phone over or keep in pocket. Unless you're creeping and don't your partner to see you have a text (lol) its a non complaint IMO.

I love the AOD. It was very annoying to doubt tap my Pixel every time just to see if there is a notification. Battery life is pretty good still. I can't see this using maybe 5-6% over a charge.
