was that godawful multitouch bug fixed in 2.3.4?
How many fingers are allowed in 2.3.4 without hacking?
thx
only 2 show up for me
The multitouch bug, wasnt a bug..
It is a code that "detects" rain drops..
The best thing they have to do, is to make a "game mode", that if you activated it, disable this function..
If somebody request this in official moto forums, they may implement it..

This would be the absolute most appropriate thing to do. Throw it in one of the Settings sub-menus for those who wish to disable it. It's a great idea in theory but for gamers it may not be the most suitable route to take.
Great idea.
i have never encountered the multitouch or the fingerprint scanner bugs. then again i dont play games on my atrix

Thinking of it, on programmers view, its very easy to implement.. Its only one flag..
Why dont somebody suggest this on Motorolla's official forums?
Also, the best would be(and more complicate) to have an algorithm to detect when a game is beeing played(eg mobile app went on full screen), ask the user if he wants to change to "game mode".
slade, its a bug, that appears when you hold your finger in the same position for some seconds(i think > 10 secs)
Did a quick search in the forums, and this seems to be the most recent topic.
I would like to know if there's any progress with this issue.
This "feature" is a pain. I can't play any racing game on my emus.
OK i know for a FACT that i will kick myself when somebody points me in the right direction but i have tried and fail to find an option where the phone will keep the screen display lit (as in phone unlocked and ready to use) when charging.
My HOX had this and it meant that when the phone was on my desk in the day right next to the keyboard, i didnt have to unlock it a BAZILLION times (email group policy requires a key lock)
If someone can save me from this torture i will be eternally grateful.

Repeatedly tap the version number (or was it model number... well one of them) in the "about" section of settings to unlock development options. Go into development options and check "keep screen on while charging". I may be off a bit on the names of the settings, but it should be fairly close to that. Going by memory here
ok im almost there, got the developer menu to appear but the option for screen on power is greyed out
Well that's weird. I wonder what would possess Google to disable that option
Not much help I know but i checked my gnex on 4.2 and its third option down "stay awake" it shouldn't be grayed out. Only think I can think of is have you updated to 4.2.1?
If anyone else has a nexus4 and willing to chime in it would be handy but its definitely there and can be selected on 4.2 gnex so should be the same on other devices I would have thought
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
in the developer the following are greyed out;
take bug report
stay awake
power menu bug reports
wait for debugger
verify apps over usb
I'm on 4.2 as 4.2.1 isn't advertised yet when i check for updates.
Hopefully some helpful chap with a n4 will chip in. Sounds strange that those options are grayed out.
It would really be trial and error as to whether the update may enable those options although its not mentioned in the change log. It could be disabled for some reason but then only Google could answer that.
There will be a way to change it. In the mean time you could just change the screen time out to never or the highest setting when at your desk. Its just something for just now. If I find anything in the mean time I shall post up though

Only wait for debugger is greyed out on mine, and I'm assuming that's because I haven't selected a debugging app.

They are grayed out likely due to your email security policy. Remove your email account and see if you gain access to the option.
Did you try looking at the very top of the developer options?
Or is it ONLY those 5 that are grey?

Hello,
i have two questions, may some of you knows an answer ...(Phone G900F/root/Omega v3.0)
Both are about the popups that will be shown using the fast Buttons, like 'Wifi'/"Bluetooth"/"GPS"/"Offline" etc.
(hope my low level english will be excused)
If i use the button for "GPS" always the 'Google'-question appears ... does not matter if i have chosen just only GPS or locating with WiFi.
Does someone know how to turn off that confirmation question?
The other interaction that i really do not like is ... turning on the offline mode ... turning off the offline mode ...,
i always have to confirm that i really want that ... does someone know any solution to turn that questions off?
thank you very much for reading
thank you very much for answering if you knew a solution
best regards
The confirmation popup is rather annoying actually.
If you leave your location settings on high accuracy, it drains battery. If you leave it to power saver, GPS chip is disabled. If you turn it off, Google Now doesn't work. Seriously, which potato farmer programmed this?
I consider this to be one of the worst changes implemented. Previous Samsung phones such as the Galaxy S4 and the Note 3 had an actual "GPS" toggle in the drop down menu instead of this poorly crafted "location" toggle.
Sometimes I slightly regret switching from Note 3 to S5. Just a slight bit.
Oh well, the G3 is on the horizon

Use xposed framework plus the Modul disable Google network location consent. For the second thing maybe Wanam xposed module got an option for it.

Well, Hi!
I agree to your first statement even if i can follow the idea behind the programming, if i take the position of 'go.ogle' but even the main idea for the user is not that bad, it would have been a great choice to let the user chose which combination they want, like a single GPS-toggle. Or the combination. I was just lucky with that GPS-toggle option on my S3.
Like it is, it is a worst change. Agreed!
Some guys should get in contact with ROM cooking experts if there could be some coding solution.
Until yet i can't post in the developer section. So i have to stay calm.
Thank you for your point of view, so knowing i am not alone ...

Just thought I would warn everyone to not go poking around and enable 'Force RTL layout direction' it crashes System IU in 5.1. I'm still looking for a way to correct it, but it looks like factory reset is going to be the only answer.
You have to factory reset, this happened to me and the only way to fix it is to factory reset

This needs to be stickied.
I also bricked my phone on Wednesday when I selected this option, but I was only partially sure that it was to blame. I spent 2.5 hours on the phone with Motorola this morning, and went from a guy who barely spoke English up to a guy who was very-clearly in the USA, and they confirmed the issue and opened a bug ticket. Don't expect a fix anytime soon.
DO NOT ENABLE THIS FEATURE!

RTL is Right to Left.
Basically the option flips all things on android... so in the settings, as it reads from left to right, "wifi - on" the setting is reversed "on - wifi" sort of a setting meant for lefties.. or just those that like toggles on the left side instead of right.

I can't tell if you're trolling or being serious.
RTL is meant to make the whole phone more convenient for lefties. Your homescreen goes from being the leftmost screen to the rightmost.
Wait, no, it's actually meant to completely **** up all our devices. Yeah, that's it.

Sync all your sd to google drive.

No, I do not think so.
Never used this feature nor am i on 5.1 but just tossin my 2 cents. What about using a OTG cable and connect a mouse to it? Not sure to what extent the phone is usable but when my aunt dropped my phome (not even a month old ooooooo i was furious. This is why i dont let people touch my phone. Luckly phone was too new and no refurbs out so they sent me a new one lol) but the digitizer and screen were cracked broken and bleeding. I was going to to fastboot since phone was stuck in camera mode for usb for helium back and no syncing programs setup yet but i tossed on my otg cable and plugged in a mouse and changed usb features, backed up apps to google drive the change usb mode and copied all my files off.
Hope that works for ya

I wish that would have fixed it, the system is responsive but 'System UI' crashes and there is 0 way to get out of it or access the system after that point. When you power on the phone you don't even make it to the lock screen it just dies.

My comment isn't relevant to this post but I just wanted to clear up the misconception about RTL. It isn't for lefties (I'm a lefty, it makes no difference to us), it's for languages that go from right to left, like Arabic. English, French, Spanish etc. go from left to right.

I really don't have a dog in this fight but heres where I got my info from, "While most of us are used to left-to-right text, menus, and whatnot, there are certainly users who’d prefer their smartphone or tablet to have right-to-left layouts. Of course, if your device’s system language is one that uses a right-to-left script (like Arabic, or Hebrew), the change from LTR to RTL is done automatically. However, Android allows you to force RTL layouts even when using a left-to-right language. "
Source - PhoneArena
So I'm not saying no or disagreeing, just saying that from that article, apparently RTL languages, once set in the settings automatically switch. I'll start source linking all my info from now on.
By now you may have heard about Axon 7 killing music playing app issue, if you haven't experienced it yourself already. For me I'm having a similar or at least related issue. The phone would kill my game when I turn off and on screen. After some investigation, below is my observation
1. Doesn't happen all the time. After a fresh reboot, no killing for a while... but after some time using the phone, it starts to happen
2. Not app-specific: After playing a game heavily for a while, the killing starts... only for that specific game. If I play a different game, then only that new game gets killed.
This have driven me kinda crazy. A look at adb logs reveals this:
12-22 12:45:34.229 I/ActivityManager( 1752): Killing 23881:jp.co.happyelements.toto/u0a122 (adj 0): excessive high power cost :jp.co.happyelements.toto
What the actual f***??? Why would ZTE kill my "excessive high power cost" process *after* I turn on the screen (and not when I turn off screen, which was 5 seconds earlier)??? Has nobody in ZTE thought about that apps that has "high power cost" may not be actually "excessive" but totally within reasons and fall into the category of normal every day use?
And no amount of changing the native "power saving" options stopped this behavior. Back in the days I remember there was some root/xposed module that would whitelist apps from being killed by the OS but I couldn't remember the name. So now I have to ask help on how to deal with this idiocy.
Edit: My apologies... I just noticed I posted in the wrong section... mods please move the thread to Q&A section if possible. Thanks a lot.
is there seriously no solution?
This is intolerable

I did. Didn't help.
If it was that easy, then I wouldne be here asking about it would I?
Yep, have the same problem after trying the same things. Several apps (2 of which I use for monitoring blood sugar levels) will randomly stop updating until either re-launched or the phone is rebooted. I have disabled all power manager options to no avail. Whatever power management system ZTE has implemented, it's FAR too aggressive.
Disclaimer - I haven't pulled logcats, but your description of the problem matches mine exactly. Here's hoping for a fix in Nougat and/or a custom ROM, otherwise I'm moving to a different phone. The A7 has great hardware but the stock software is a bloated mess.
B27 does not have this issue (which is why I downgraded to it). Might be a solution for you until the next upgrade releases.

@whoiswes If you are talking about the xdrip app. I too want this app to work with this phone. I tried CM13 and had the app work for hours then at night it stopped working. I only tried it for one night so didn't try different settings. At least this is a positive sign once CM13 becomes more stable or CM14 is released. I heard the app won't work with B27 either.
Found a solution, though it needs root
Code:
pm disable com.zte.powersavemode
then reboot
This totally disables the power saving menu though

I made this xposed module specifically to fix the problem described in OP. If you have the exact problem, including the logcat message, then the module should fix it.
If you dont have the exact problem, including the logcat mesage, then go ****post in another thread.
My solution is to whitelist all apps in:
settings -> energy management -> app energy management -> option button (upper right) -> app protection list -> option button -> set all to off
But the problem is that this setting resets everytime you install/delete an app
Edit: Ok i just tried out manually setting all apps to "off", now it doesn't reset the apps when installing an app but the new app ist automatically allowed to be cleaned. So you still have to disallow cleaning for each installed app manually.
Just an FYI, I updated to the Cyanogenmod/Lineage 13 Beta by UDev and one of my problem apps has been running for 18 hours without a single hiccup. Trying the second problem app later today. Not a solution for this problem but from my perspective it definitely pinpoints Power Manager as the culprit.
@borijess - yeah, Nightwatch and xDrip are the 2 apps that I've had trouble with, and so far Nightwatch is working great on CM13 (1228 build).
