[Q] Knock on works fine, knock off is dead - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have an annoying problem with my new G2.
I have installed all my usual apps, including Google Now Launcher. Everything worked fine including knock on and knock off from the statusbar.
After completly draining the battery and restarting the phone, knock off feature does not work anymore ( not even from the notification bar corner ). Reverting to stock launcher does not fix the problem.
Does anybody have a fix for this ?
Thank you.

Found the fix on another forum :
I figured out a solution. I had "Animator duration scale" set to 0x in the developer options. Turn this to 1x (or 0.5x if you would rather animations go faster) and restart the phone. This fixed my problem.*
Note that this does bring back the annoying CRT screen turn off animation that I dislike but I prefer having that and still being able to double tap the status bar. Also note that you can leave window and transition animation scales to 0x if you wish, they have no effect on this problem.

Minor irritations with the Note.

Having used a Galaxy Tab and S2 in the past I find some minor irritations with the current Note UI. I would like to know if anyone has solutions for these.
1. The screen orientation cannot be locked to landscape. Whenever I lock rotation the screen reverts to portrait.
2. Animation during rotation. I would prefer that the rotation is instantaneous like in the other samsung android devices. I have turned off animations totally in Settings.
3. Notification sound when bluetooth is turned on.
I think I will probably have to wait till custom roms turn up to solve these problems.

Only roms that solve 1. are CM7 and MIUI. Any roms based on samsung roms will not solve it, unless someone will hack it in the future.
Have no idea about 2.
About 3. try finding the notification that is played and delete/rename it?
Is it a notification unique to bt toggle? or general notification?

Strange that samsung chose to implement 1 considering that other samsung devices dont have it.
The notification is not unique to bt toggle. The sound is the same as my email/sms tone.
I've the Note for a week now, and I noticed when WiFi is ON, it's "eating" my battery empty (faster then my previous Desire HD)...

Issue I have with my note relating to landscape is that instead of using a partial screen textbox when typing in landscape it still takes over the whole screen with just the text and keyboard... definitely could be done better on such a high resolution screen.

I jsut tried this app and my Note crashed and rebooted twice.
People seem to like it as per the reviews, but it sure does hate the note.

Animator duration scale?

Anyone know what "Animator duration scale" in the Developer options settings is?
I'd like to know, too
Seems even google doesn't know since I haven't found the information despite googling for some time.
Since transition and window animations are covered by the other options I can only assume it affects widget animations or something.

This animation is when you press the app tray button.
However, you may change this option and notice it has no effect! Fine, call me a liar. Seriously though...
The reason it will *appear* to have no effect is because the launcher will need to be restarted.
Just set it to .5 or off if you want your app tray to pop up MUCH faster.
I assume this has no effect on custom launchers.

I was looking for this too, and did not find any answer, so I tried to set Animator duration scale to 10x and result is that this is let's say in app animation. In camera app it's animation of hiding settings buttons etc.
Truth is that an app has to be restarted to take effect. Just press recent apps and swype application , you're testing on away.
You can try it or watch video on YT http://youtu.be/Qot4n0EV1SE
hope this helps.
It changes the speed of certain apps animation and some system animation. Keeping it off or lower will increase the speed of animation.

Solution to hangs/lags on leaked JB with ripple

well, seems like i found soultion for me at least
i was having lockscreen hangs (lags) sometimes random big lags in OS itself (3-4 sec of unresponsive phone)
im using stock with stock karnel, just rooted and modded to enable smart stay and ripple
after sometime all of the sudden i got this hangs followed by "Samsung TTS has stopped working"
solution is rather simple. go to app menager in settings -> All apps.
Find SAMSUNG TTS.
-disable it (when disabled,shlould be at bottom of the list all of the time) *may disable some samsung voice apps also!*
Hope this helps anyone. i got no more hangs from wakeup on lockscreen and OS itself i working nice
also, if you find unlocking from lockscreen a bit slow put "window animation scale to 0.5x in developer settings

Dialer (not launching at first touch) Bug fix.

If you want to fast your moto g by stopping animation scale in developer options you are the victim of this problem. I suffer this problem at least 7 month from the buying this device. Now i find the solutions at least minimum animations scale 0.5 is required for dialer work properly.
I think it will be helpful info for others.

The dialler changed in 4.4.3+, is the bug still present?
Sent from my XT1033 using Tapatalk
To be honest this is not a bug, stopping animation cause the damage.
Sent from my XT1033 using Tapatalk
It's present in 4.4.4 so no doubt the same is true of 4.4.3 too. Just do as hrazib suggests, turn the animations back on, even to the lowest setting, and it'll work just fine.
It's something odd. I haven't experienced it before 4.4.2.
Tip:
Custom roms and GravityBox Xposed module for stock roms include 0,25x animation option.
Edit:
GravityBox includes an option to show dial pad automatically even with animations off.
