Has anyone seen this happen? - Atrix 4G General

I was exiting an app and the bar moves to the left of the screen. I had to power down the up again to get it back normal. It also caused my icons and folders to be smaller.

Yup a couple of times actually. I had it happen when I was hitting the back arrow and tilting it at the same time.

Which is funny considering i don't recall MotoBlur actually making use of landscape view.

It doesn't, but it does glitch out sometimes. Think of it as Androids BSD...

Itching Thumb A Must Have

I figured a lot of people would love this...
When you hit the "home" button it turns your phone into webOS style "cards" display of your recent locations (yes, with previews of the page and all). I personally find it amazing, best task switcher out there, period.
Double-tap takes you all the way to your actual home page.
You can even add shortcut widgets to the bottom under the "cards" or even use it as a secondary in launcher, launcher - if that made any sense.
There's a few similar ones.. I love this but the home tap option to expose all 7 homescreens is gone on this one. s

How? I have the paid and most recent version of LP and after playing around in the settings for a little while I couldn't figure out how to set an app to launch by swyping on the app button.
Thanks

Widgets and 2.3.3

Anyone having issues with widgets loading in 2.3.3?
My twitter widget will not load. Even stranger, I cannot add any applications to any screen. Very odd.
I'm running on ADW. Is ADW the real issue?

Only problem I am having with 2.3.3 is the screen colors. It's terrible, definitely gotta get use to it..
Widgets work fine. Try a reboot or a battery pull.
Works fine here, using LauncherPro Plus.
I chose to clear the dalvik cache before rebooting, after applying the update. Perhaps that helped me?

Haven't used ADW in a long time but isn't there an option to lock your screens? Which in turn wouldn't allow you to modify anything.
Press menu and check that out.
no problem here. all widgets work fine and i didnt have to mess with them at all.

This. From the home screen you can also press:

To add a widget.

To unlock the home screen if locked.

Remove Clock on Status Bar

Is there a mod I can flash to remove the clock on the status bar. Most people have widgets and I just don't even seem the point of it being on the status bar anymore.
And I know its called something else than a status bar. Having a brain fart haha
Thanks in advance

I can understand that, but on amoled displays it's nice to at least have the option to disable it. I'm already experiencing (slight) burn in. Download screen test from the market, make the screen either all white or all blue and you'll probably see it on yours too. Technically it's burn out not burn in (the blue sub pixels burn out first) but it looks the same.
Certainly not a big deal but I'm a video engineer so it bugs me more

I am all about options. Something I like, may not be liked by others, and vice versa. I wish the majority of the phone stuff had options for that exact reason.

I wish I could put the time back somehow on Bonsai. I use it all the time. Now I have to lock my phone to see the time. Yes I know I could use a widget or another program but the stock is better...no overhead..and just there.
I too also use the clock on the status bar annoying that it is now gone in bansai:-( I am going to try to get it back
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I use the Launcher Pro that lets me hide the notification bar whenever is not needed. It actually saves the screen from burn "out".
I wish the notification bar only is shown when something is new or a warning otherwise it's just a wasted real estate on the screen.

Multitasking

Hello, I think I'm gonna buy an s4 but there's one thing that bothers me. It seems like there's no fast way to multitask. Just like the previous galaxy phones you have to hold down the home button to get to the recent app list. I find this painfully slow. Any suggestions for faster multitasking?
You find that slow??
Ever heard of Multi-View?

The S4 uses the home button to multi task so it isn't as fast as the nexus 4 ( for the menu to appear) but its still fast enough. But if it bothers you than I would suggest a phone without a home button and on screen buttons.
Use a launcher, like Nova. The default gesture to bring up recent apps is to pinch zoom.
Problem solved.
There is also an app which provides the recent button as an on screen button and remains on screen at all times. You can move it around like a chat head.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk HD
Yes I find it slow. Usually I just want to copy paste something or remember something and it takes two seconds to switch back and two seconds to switch forward. Four seconds is a long time these days.
Regarding the Nova launcher, gestures don't work inside apps right?
Samsung should allow customized buttons. I would love to change the menu to multitask.
You should get a HTC One with no home button and a recent apps button. I'm sure you'll love that.

yeah but at least it has double click to multitask which is way faster than a two-second lag.
Thanks for the link to the recent apps floating app. I'm not sure that it is worth it since it will be annoying to have in on the screen all the time...
What about the gestures in alternative launchers (nova). Does that work inside apps?

I agree with you on that point. I was just pointing out incorrect information so others reading don't think it actually has the dedicated multitasking button.

Home button double action

Since I have had this phone the home button always acted as if you had pressed it twice. For instance, in an app, press home, takes me to launcher and automatically goes to main home screen. Does that happen to everyone? Think I may have a reason to get a new one if not.

I liked the old functionality, one press back to lay home screen, twice to main home screen, and with nova I had third to the home screen editor. Can't do the nova agreed functionality because of how it is now.

Nope, def a bug...install a launcher like Nova...by default, if you're on the main homescreen and press home you're supposed to get the "previews" screen that shows all of your home screens...
But on our phones it will open quickly and then close right away because the home button registers twice...

You can't compare a stock launcher to an aftermarket launch. Functionality will always be different. Maybe it's a bug but I hope I can keep the functionality.

If it's not a bug then it's non-standard Android behavior and it was not something that existed when the phone launched.
Clearly, it's a bug. If it's still around after the next OTA then either Motorola is incompetent or Verizon directed them to do this for some dumb reason.

This does not happen on my Maxx running kitkat (rooted but I think that's irrelevant).
If I'm in an application and press the home button once, it goes the last home screen I was on (not the 'main' home screen). Pressing it again goes to the main screen.

This is my biggest problem with the Kit Kat upgrade - home button goes to main home screen sometimes. Makes me want to ditch this phone for something else. Maddening.
The entire upgrade was generally a let down, from performance to battery.

Well I recently switched to Dev and home button is normal as it should be. Sticking with 4.2.2. I am going to try to send my Norman maxx in for warranty for the glitch. Should come with 4.2.2. If anyone wants to buy it let me know.
