When I turn off the A7 I feel/hear a low sound/feeling like a hard drive starting/stopping. Is that supposed to happen or is there something wrong with my A7?
I really don't know how to describe the sound. It is more like something 'moving' inside the A7.
Thank you.
Alice
BTW: How do I register my unit?
I'm guessing what you are feeling and hearing is the haptic feedback vibrate mode...it's normal

I turned off the Haptic and I still 'feel' slight vibration when I turn ON/OFF the Elocity A7. (Feels like something 'moving' inside the A7.)
I don't think you can turn off the haptic feedback that occurs during bootup. It's more or less a system check. I have tried already, but can live with that one instance.

So, the "vibration" I feel when I turn ON/OFF the A7 is 'normal," and nothing to worry about?
As I said, it feels like something 'moving' inside the A7.
I just want to make sure there is nothing wrong with my A7 because my 30 day return policy is running out, in case I have to return it.
P.S. In the Settings, there is a (green) check mark next to the Haptic. I unchecked that and still feel the 'vibration' (moving inside the A7), when turning ON/OFF the A7.

That's because there is something moving, that how the vibration is done, it vibrates. Perfectly normal.

As mentioned above. The vibrations on shot down can't be turned off. Heptic feed back can only be turned off for screen presses and the keyboard.

Thanks so much for your time and patience. You say "That's because there IS something moving."
What is moving?
Funny thing is that it baffles my grandson because he has used the Edge and Pandigial tablets and he said when he turned them on or off, there was never that feeling of vibration when they were shutting down. He just wondered why this A7 would vibrate (feeling of something 'moving' inside the case) after he has turned it ON or OFF. Shuffle - would that be a better word?
Just can't describe the exact feeling we get when we turn it on and off. Guess best word would be = short 'vibration.'
He says he thinks something is loose inside the A7 and we might have to send it back as being defective. I told him that everyone here says it is NORMAL, for it to vibrate when after turning ON/OFF. A little more vibration when it has been turned OFF.
I don't think this has anything to do with "Haptic" which is in the Settings (turn On/Off)? Do you?
Does yours do the same - the vibration when turned ON and OFF?
It's just a little motor wizzing inside the unit. It runs when the device is turned on because the system is probably just doing some basic function checks and it's also to let you know the device is on/off. Mine does the same...they all do. All tablets are different so this may not have been the case when using other models

Hi
This is a nice app that i've wanted. I know I could use Changescreen as it has a similar feature, but a standalone like this is more preferable for me...
But I just can't download from Rapidshare...
Is it possible to load the .cab here since its only 345kb? or a mirror to somewhere else...

Hello
how about battery drain pls?
not working on HTC Rhodium (TP2) - also I can't see it in programs, etc. Do I need to do anything else after install?
I got a question are there any options? like on conference call (when using loud speakers - device is upside down), will it ignore the g-off? Because I am not sure what would happend if I would press POWER BUTTON in the middle of the call just to get the screen back ..
Not working in my Touch Pro, too
Using latest WinMobile 6.5.21935.
I also did a softreset after installation!

You don't see it. But it is there. Go to the Program Files and the directory with the same name. Click once on it, and tune the device upside down. It will switch it off.Not ON again.

origin of g-off display
Beware! I am NOT the programmer. I don't know who is either. I just found it.
btw ChangeScreen has a "display off" option too.
worked on the tilt 2
it needs dot net compact framework 3.5 and then it loads on startup... closing the title bar that comes up doesn't seem to stop it from working. however, having said this, i can't say that perhaps the tilt 2 didn't have the behavior before i installed this... it took me a while to realize that upside down doesn't mean face down, which is what i had wanted. but having said that, turning it upside down works great because you can put it in your pocket upside down (which basically you might do anyway).
also, indeed, to get it back on, one has to push the power button. but that's good in case the device moves out of tolerance for downward position it won't be going on and off unintentionally--except that even after the screen is already off it will keep executing--i know this because it vibrates when the screen goes off as well, and if i take it out of upside down position and then put it back without turning screen on again, it will vibrate again. this said, walking with it in a pocket didn't seem to keep triggering it, so overall this is a really cool hack.
now for figuring out why my t2 doesn't turn its speakerphone on when placed face down during a call (i was thinking face down should always turn the screen off by way of proximity sensor--which does work on my device because during a call holding finger over ear speaker turns off the display--just doesn't turn speaker on). wait... just realized... if it did then it would have to assume that just putting it to the ear should turn on speaker. so, i'd say what we have here is a challenge... integrate the proximity sensing with the g-sensor to always turn off the display when face down on a flat, reasonably level surface-- and during a call turn on the speaker too.
if this can be done, then combined with the g-off existing functionality it'd be really sweet--i wouldn't have to turn it upside down _before_ placing it flat on a table while listening to music. and the proximity could help make it less worrysome to just automatically turn the screen back on when picked up.

sorry for the duplicate post above--tried to edit, then hit save by accident
edit... i just tried screenchange and it in theory seems to do exactly what i want, but in practice, with 2.78 and any sensitivity level and appropriate no light option checked, it turns off the display even if there is light (and lots of it to be sure). i hold the device upside down above my head and the display goes off. i'm not covering the proximity sensor. my proximity sensor does work when in a phone call. i tried rebooting. i think the proximity sensor may be off somehow on my device...maybe htc only wants it on in a phone call? i will have to see if screenchange will work right with the device in a phone call... further posts will go over with screenchange.
btw, regarding the forum... its annoying that my edit made a whole new post in the first place.
cool！！！thanks
Is there an app that will turn off the phone's screen when it is faced down?
I've been looking everywhere to find such and app and have not found one.
You shouldn't need a tweak to accomplish that. When you put the device face down, the proximity sensor will be blocked and will turn off your screen automatically.
(Unless you put it face down on an overhead projector surface!)

I'm no programmer but this seems like it would be relatively simple, I'm surprised it doesn't already exist (or if it does, a quick search for me turns up nothing).
it would have to use the light sensor as well as the accelerometer, though. If you ever look at your phone while laying down, the phone turning off while upside down would not be very useful

That feature only works when you are on a phone call.
It doesn't work outside of the call function unless I'm missing something. My screen definitely stays on when I put it faced down.
The reason I'm asking for an app like is is because I've been listening to audiobooks as I go to sleep. Since the speaker is on the back I leave the phone faced down on my bed. I'd like the screen to automatically turn off when I do that to conserve battery life. (I know I could just hit the power button, but I'd rather have something do it automatically).

Works like a charm for what I asked.
Now if I can find something that will turn the screen back on when I flip it face up again I'd be set.
Tonight I have written a little APP that will switch off the backlight when face down and turn it back on when you flip it over.
Seems OK on my device.

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the orange led by the earpiece and/or physical button lights on the bottom of the phone when charging? The lights keep my wife up at night...
Currently running fresh 2.0d by the way.

yes, but that doesn't disable the lights, so its not an answer to the question, but possibly the only workaround if not possible. i don't have a "naked" phone so i'm also not sure if without a case the trackball wouldn't be in the way of facing it down
i'm interested in this too as i'd rather have my phone face up at night vs. down so that instaed of having to grab my phone to disable an alarm, i can just reach over and swipe it down or snooze...

I run a clock on the phone at night. I got desperate enough last night to carve "endcaps" out off styrofoam to cover the lights...not very elegant, but works for now I suppose.

He said the lights keep his wife up, so I would think it is a solution since the light would be facing downwards and thus be much less visible.
I was going to look in to this since I already know how to control the leds via command line... but I would rather not re-invent the wheel.
Search the market for leds hack (put the s in leds or it won't find it. I believe it's also a protected app so make sure you're on a rom that shows it). Run it, select Nexus 1. Done.
The trackball led stays on at first but just hit the power button and it turns off. I know it says it only works for droid and nexus1 but I just tested it for you.

I have been using this for a while with bedside pro. the track ball does stay on. I have not been able to figure out how to turn it off.

On my phone it turns off and stays off as soon as I put the phone to sleep. Well anyways I just spoke to the developer and let him know what's up with it and he's going to look in to disabling the trackball. I offered my assistance if he needs any help tracking it down on our phones.

I put my phone on a dock, and it serves as my alarm clock. I like to be able to see what time it is, so turning phone down is not an option. Right now I slide the top of an old phone holster over the top inch or 2 of the phone just to block the LED.

Wow, I have to say I envy you guys who get to sleep in such dark rooms.
For the past 20 years of so I've been so close to bright street lights that even with heavy curtains something as dim as the LEDs on a phone isn't even noticable (much less be enough of a bother to keep me awake...).
It's one of the things I absolutely love about camping, getting to sleep in actual darkness.
I know I'm not offering any solutions here, just saying that if you can even notice the LEDs on the phone at night, be thankful that you don't have much light pollution to deal with.

Haha, I have electrical tape over all my LED's on computers etc in my room. I have two sets of blinds, and my area is just dark to begin with.

The phone I just turn upside down though so it's never been an issue.
Luckily for me my wife hasn't said anything about my Hero keeping her up. But then again, I don't charge it while I sleep. My old phone had an LED all the way across the top of the phone and blinked every 15 seconds. I had to turn that one upside down or cover it with clothes.

I take it back, when plugged into my computer and set to "charge only" there are no lights, but when plugged into the AC adapter, the trackball still lights up...in case anyone was wondering
I am not sure how to explain it exactly.
I turn off my phone and tap the screen (anywhere on the phone really) and I feel a spring-like vibration as if the vibrating motor is slightly loose. It feels like a light haptic feedback after effect.
Anyone else notice this?
Same. It has done this for a couple phones I've owned. Has to do with the vibration setup, afaik.
Unless your vibration is actually malfunctioning, I'd say you're fine.
I noticed it - I figured it was the accelerometer or the gyro - something in there has to be spring-mounted to detect motions. You might check out the iFixiIt teardown - they probably labeled it

Hi guys and gals - I'm running Lollipop on my Verizon S5. The phone is rooted with the stock ROM. Since the Lollipop upgrade, my phone now decides to wake me up in the middle of the night to let me know it's fully charged by vibrating (I keep my phone on vibrate at night). As appreciative as I am for the heads up, I don't care about it and don't need to know. Unfortunately, my phone is also my alarm clock so it sits right next to the bed. Muting the phone obviously fixes the problem, but I need to leave my phone on (vibrate) since I periodically get emergency calls for work at night.
This notification sound/vibration happens regardless of the charger I use (including the one that comes with the S5). I also verified that the notification comes from the System UI (not from a 3rd party app).
I use Lllama to automate a lot of tasks on the phone and thought I would be tricky by telling it to mute the phone once it hits 99% and then changing it to vibrate 10 minutes after that. It took care of the problem... but then when Llama changes the phone back to vibrate after the 10 minutes, it vibrates to let you know it's been changed... dammit - foiled again!!
Any thoughts on how to either disable or silence the sound would be truly appreciated!!!
Thanks!!
-- Jim
I use the rom-v6-0-touchwiz-modness-lollipop-4-t3035513 and you can disable the charging sounds in the moar control panel, not sure if you can install moar to your rom like you could with Exposed.
you might be able to put llama in the non priority interuptions sound settings. and do something with that.

Thanks Voodoobrew - I actually don't want to switch ROMs if possible (at least for the near future) and I couldn't find anything about installing the MOAR control panel as a separate install.
As stupid as it is, the notification still goes off when you have it in Priority Mode so my only answer so far is Mute.
I can't believe there aren't a ton of people out there complaining about this - I'm assuming this isn't something that Android has built in - it's got to be either Samsung or Verizon coming up with this stupid decision.
Any other ideas guys?

I have the same issue. My phone is silenced at night but I use my phone as the bedside clock and alarm. The damn notification banner is bright enough that it wakes me up. A Google search has turned up plenty of people having this problem but no solution yet.

LOL!! The only thing that helps me on that front is that I don't use Daydream or anything like that so I've just gotten in the habit of putting the phone face down on the nightstand while charging. I also use Llama to turn the brightness all the way down on my phone when connected to my charger after 9pm and then turn it back to automatic when disconnected from the charger - that might be something that might help you a little bit.
So nobody else out there has any thoughts on this?
