Power Control Widget "Auto Rotate" Bug? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The Power Controls widget's "auto-rotate" button does not work. It seems the only way to turn on/off auto-ratation is to go into settings > display > check "auto-rotate screen" box. Anyone else notice this?

I believe that is not the rotate control on the widget. It is for syncing.
I also go to settings do turn rotate on or off, but can't get my home screen to rotate to landscape mode.

My bad. I think you are right. It is not for auto-rotation. It is for auto-sync. :laugh:

ok, untick auto dim in pull down notification and set the desire brightness you wants(camera screen brightness follows this setting, it will not follow auto brightness), once you done setting it, tick the auto again so brightness is back to auto other than camera brightness.
Ahh.. Thank You.... that works for me. Excellent!

I realise this is a late reply... but I generally find my finger goes over the light sensor when I hold the device in landscape mode, which is annoying. The camera uses auto-brightness fine for me - until I go and look at the picture. It was turning the brightness right down. Unticking "Auto", changing it up, and re-ticking "Auto" fixed it for me. (Why I would want to change the brightness to a setting I've decided I don't want to use is anyone's guess.)

You can turn off hard keys. (sm-p600 mk1)

Sorry if this is old news but I seen a few people asking if you could disable these especially over at the clean Rom thread cause the developer included soft keys in the rom. Anyways again I'm sorry if this is old news but you go to accessibility/access control. It then walks you through a series of steps like if you want certain parts of the screen to not be affected by touch and so on. I thought this was pretty sweet. Not sure if it's for all models and firmware but worth a shot!

I'm on stock and I can't find Access Control in Accessibility. Is this a CleanRom only feature?

No... I'm stock right now. I don't remember seeing it before so not sure how I got it there. Maybe from exposed?

It's all the way at the very bottom of Accessibility. It is listed under Recognition. Turn it on. Then hold down the home button and and volume down to enter the wizard.
It should be helpful for when I do note taking at a meeting so I don't have to worry about touching the physical buttons. But for Button Savior Pro it disables the Home, Menu and Back so it's not something I can have on all the time. Plus the notification drawer cannot be interacted with anymore while this mode is on.

It can if you have nova launcher pro. With a gesture. The notification drawer that is...

I can open the drawer just fine. You just can't touch any of the notifications after you open the drawer.

Weird... Did you x out of the past that says disable parts of the screen with touch? Wonder why it does that.

Lollipop hidden power management menu

To enable the hidden power menu follow belowmentioned instructions
go to homescreen
long press - click on widgets
drag settings widget (you will see diff options)
scroll down to find power saving
and there you will have all power saving settings including nvidia's custom settings.
Hope this helps.
I think you might mean:
Long tap on home screen, then tap Shortcuts.
(not widgets)

Try using stock launcher. It ought to be there.
Yep, it's a settings shortcut. Great find though, @kukuthejak.
how change dpi in hidden power management ? dolphin emulator android not is theare
i had a problem with my tablet turning off every night even after a factory reset and changing the sleep option found under the battery settings menu. I assumed it just crashed a lot. In this menu the option was set to turn off after 6 hours.. this hidden menu was causing the problems.
Is this the same set of power options found at the top left of the battery stats when pressing the 3 dots?
yes. Look at the screenshot
No because it misses the app settings on th the raw above.

I can't find settings-->power settings in either widgets or shortcuts??
Choose the widget power settings itself, drag it to one of your home screens and open it. You will find a tab above related to app power settings.

Nova, but I reverted just to try this and no power settings widget there either.
No "Power Settings" widget
When I drag "Settings", there is no Power Settings option
Thanks for your help!
Hah! Figured it out. I just really need to listen to directions. The screen doesn't look like it scrolls further but it does. The original instructions said to SCROLL to the option. Lol.
Thanks for your help, everybody.
Thanks for the tip

On screen zoom buttons in Camera app

I'm not sure what I did, but now I have two onscreen buttons for zoom (Z- and Z+). See screenshot: https://goo.gl/photos/YxRxe8wMq322e3Hu6
I'd like to turn them off, but I can't figure out how.

Are you using custom DPI?
Turn off Switch Access in Accessibility settings.
Thank you, that was the fix.

Turn auto call off?

The auto call feature where you hold the phone up to your ear and say who you want to call, can this be turned off? I know you can disable all gestures in the settings menu. Also, the auto call feature in that gesture menu is different. It only applies to calling the contact displayed on the screen, like a text message or viewing a contact.
Disable the "Auto Call" toggle under "My Voice"in settings, I believe.
