Phone/dialer app tabs - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if there is a way to designate which tab shows first when you open the phone/dialer app? It always defaults to dial pad when you open the app. Opening the last used tab or being able to default say recents or favorites would be more useful. I tried reorganizing the tabs but that didn't work. This on a VZW G2.

[Q] Minute Irritating issue....

This is very very small, but I use Chrome for everything. I just upgraded from my Note 2 to a Note 3. I use the built in time and weather widget from Accuweather. When you tap the widget you get a more in depth view of the weather, however to really see what the day is going to be like you need to click the more button which takes you to Accuweather mobile. On the note 2, when I tapped the more button, the website would open in Chrome. On the Note 3 it opens in the Internet app. I have tried to clear defaults for both the weather app and for the internet app, but it always opens in the Internet App. There is no prompt to choose Chrome over the Internet.
Any thoughts?
It seems that the Internet app cannot be disabled without rooting and using an app like Titanium that can 'freeze' it. I find the default internet app very annoying as it constantly 'talks' if any accessibility functions are enabled like Tasker, Lightflow, Pebble etc.
Whether this is caused by the app itself or Touchwiz or Android itself remains to be seen.

[Q] Nova Launcher - Swipe UP to launch My Magazine

I thought I heard that there was a way to Launch 'My Magazine' using gesture/swipe up in Nova Settings. All I see there is the APP DRAWER. Can you launch specific apps in the launch draw (like 'my magazine') using gesture/swipe up ?
as long as the app is available in the gesture settings it'll launch it. i know smart launcher does and i currently have it set for that. i'll probably change it since i use feedly far more than i'll use the my magazine app.
edit: oh snap! i didn't pay attention that i posted in the note 3 forum. i thought i was in the gn10.1 2014 forum, lol. either way it's all the same.
I found the setting for 'My Magazine' but unfortunately Swipe Up is not doing anything (& swipe up in nova says "my magazine" now). Perhaps NOVA needs a restart. Trying that next.
My gestures work -in my use i find if you make sure you touch a part of the screen not covered by a widget or button then do the motion -the action gets carried out

That was it, thanks sent. I had a widget blocking my swipe, I guess.
Glad it helped! You can even do the gestures along the furthest side of the screen and it'll work so no worries about having to leave a space open to do it!

Quick window bug(finding confirmation from others)

I realised that if I disable the stock music app, it's widget is automatically disabled and I lose the quick window widget too. That would be fine, only double tap to off no longer works on the clock widget, only the weather one.
Now if I disable the clock widget too, the weather widget's double tap to off disappears as well.
Anyone else has that prob too?
Enabling the music widget ONLY(in settings doing this also enables the music app) using TiBu solves the problem but leaves a useless and ugly music widget behind :/

Oh i've also thought of a few solutions
1. Use exposed to change the lock screen widget to simply pause/play and next and previous buttons that work with all apps
2. Modify the apk to do the same thing
3. Find the source of the bug?

I never noticed it before but I can confirm my VS980 on CleanROM behaves as you describe. I never use the knock on feature...

Scrolling up by tapping status bar?

Hello
I have LG G2 d802 uprooted.
I want to make that by tapping the status bar the page will scroll all the way up like in iPhone.
How do I do it?
Thanks

Since scrolling is an app-specific thing and implemented differently from app to app (and thus from browser to browser) it won't work.
iOS has and allows only one browser engine, so it's easy to implement such a feature there.
Try to use two finger to slide up.
Boom! You will scroll up to top..
*Using stock browser.

Access Verizon hidden menu on our G4

Download launcherpro from playstore, add laucherpro activity widget, scroll down to home and select the one listed as hidden menu activity. Score!

So what does this get you?
In trouble if you don't remember what you change. It gives you acess to change settings such as turn on and off features of your phone.

Would love some screen shots of what is available to change and if it would be worth the time?
Here you go, not sure what a lot of these do but I'm sure someone here does.

This should be how you guys can turn on themes. This is the Lg Home hidden menu
Do you need pro version of launcher pro. Cause I don't see any activity widgets
Nope, it should be the 1×1 activity widget.

this menu has been in previous LG devices but is not the "main" hidden menu. you guys can't find any other hidden menu?
and you can use this app to find hidden activities without changing your launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher&hl=en
just open app.. select "all activities" from the top drop down menu and poke around.
It works without changing your launcher. The widget is available in stock launcher. You can also access service menu with this app and yours.

I'm unable to find the menus on the activity launcher. It seems it's not as complete as launcher pro.

I did this, but what did you launch to get to this menu?
It's under home and then home hidden menu activity I believe. After you create the shortcut you can uninstall the launcher pro app. The shortcut will remain.

Did anyone else get this working? I followed OP and do not see hidden settings under home screen using activity launcher. See my screen shot above.
Nova launcher wont allow me to enter those. Says app not installed or something :/. I got in to the other secret menu but not the main one. Sadly the main hidden menu has bt stuff that I might be interrested. Any idea why this happens. Mine is european 815.

One of the options on this hidden menu is "Support_Secret_Menu". I wonder if that'll activate an additional menu.
It'd be nice to have Display Frame Rate option on this menu.
crash
When i try to add the activity widget it crashes on me. Not sure if its because i have 7 screens or a active wallpaper or what..

I have given up. I have the same LaunherPro installed, and have selected the same activity widget, but I do not have a hidden menu option in my list. Tried to uninstall and reinstall and no go. Thanks though, good find.
Idk. I installed the Hidden Activities app and found Verizon Hidden Menu but it won't open and instead I get an error message.
