[Q] Detach S-Pen DOES NOT wake phone, Help !!

Hi, guys
recently I notice that if I detach the S-Pen while Note3 is sleep, it doesn't wake the phone until I pressed the 'power button'. I've try de-frosting all apps (but still using greenify). Did I miss any apps that governs the S-pen wake up functionality?
To use the spen I need to pull out and press 'power button'. It's 2-step for me

Go to Settings --> Running services and check to see if the SPenKeeper service is running?

I go to Settings > Application Manager > Running apps
I found SPenKeeper running since boot (been running for 8 hours); I did not greenify this app, it show running in the greenify select menu.
still it doesn't wake the phone. It does vibrate though, I also notice that until I 'power on' the device, then only the 'pop' sound of Action Menu runs.

Sorry, I have not found the service that wake up by detaching the spen.
The last thing you can try is factory reset the device. You may need to make a full backup.

Sorry not used to xda apps and quoting posts. But thanks.

Thanks. Maybe I'll do that when I'm free. It's easier with titanium backup

[Solved]
I disable the SpenKeeper services using "Disable Service" apps. Somehow the taking out Spen wakes the phone from sleep as usual. Perhaps something went wrong for the SpenKeeper service.

THAT IS !!!
That is becouse you did not use SPen very usual it happemmed to me also , solve with this NOT RESTARTING APP , from time to time us a system restart from the Power button and don't panic )))))

Glove Mode for Z3/Z3C with a single click (ROOT)

Hi.
I figured out that it's possible to enable Glove Mode on rooted Z3/Z3 Compact by changing /sys/devices/virtual/input/clearpad/glove from 1/0. Enabling it this way does not show the annoying circle indicating Glove Mode.
Here is a simple app I put together that enables/disables Glove Mode when clicking its icon.
And here is how to do it with Tasker (requires Secure Settings installed):
Code:
Xperia Glove Mode (24)
A1: Read File [ File:/sys/devices/virtual/input/clearpad/glove To Var:%glove ]
A2: Secure Settings [ Configuration:Glove Mode On (Root) Package:com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin Name:Secure Settings Timeout (Seconds):0 ] If [ %glove eq 0 ]
A3: Secure Settings [ Configuration:Glove Mode Off (Root) Package:com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin Name:Secure Settings Timeout (Seconds):0 ] If [ %glove eq 1 ]
A4: Flash [ Text:Glove Mode ON Long:eek:ff ] If [ %glove eq 0 ]
A5: Flash [ Text:Glove Mode OFF Long:eek:ff ] If [ %glove eq 1 ]

Well done sir. I just set up xposed additions to launch your app from the volume key. So now I can activate glove mode with gloves on haha thanks.

Hi,
Im trying to change parameters for double tap to wake from command line.
Code:
echo "1" >/sys/devices/virtual/input/clearpad/wakeup_gesture
No matter if Im enabling or disabling after doing this, screentouch stops working - after turning screen on with powerkey tapping is not working and there is nothink in logcat.
Tried already restart touchscreen service
Code:
killall /system/bin/touchscreend
In terms of Glove parameter, if Im doing this from shell, parameter dont change in GUI settings
Code:
echo "1" >/sys/devices/virtual/input/clearpad/glove
And result is that setting is not enabled.
How you solved this, and can you help with the wakeup_gesture ?

Make sure you have root access and don't use " " around the digit.
If you're in a terminal, type su to get root access. Then write echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/input/clearpad/wakeup_gesture

This should be in Themes and Apps

I didn't wrote this, but ofcourse I was logges as root.
Double quotes are safer, but invoking it in terminal is no difference if I use them or not.
Can you check on your device if changing this parameter to "1" is causing touch screen to stop working (need to do this while screen is off).

Touch screen doesn't stop working. Setting the parameter to "1" enables tap to wake. Setting it to "0" disables tap to wake.

Thanks for testing, but need to be sure, that you've done this when screen was off.
When I "echo 1 > .../wakeup_gesture" while screen is on, its working ok, but not when screen is off
I tried this on my wife Z3 with lollipop, and the same. Any change made to this file while screen is off disables whole touch screen till the next reboot.

@quack3d Maybe you know how turn on screen from commandline?

Google says 'input keyevent 26' should do the trick.

Thank you for your suggestions!
I've added a rule with tasker and secure settings
(When I'm connected/disconnected to my wifi, tasker enables/disables tap to wake)
You must do this rule only with screen on (so you must add "wait until screen is on")
Look at my screenshots...

Hello @quack3d, I really liked your App. Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore on the lastest version of Marshmallow (Z3C). Would it be possible to make this App work on Android 6+?
Thanks in advance!

You sure you're rooted? It works on my Z5 Compact with Marshmallow.

Sorry, I don't have the time. However, if you use an app like Tiles or something (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles), I think you can make custom quick toggle and just select my app. I'm assuming that will work.

[TUT] Tasker - Mobile Data Usage (Call, Txt, Traffic)

Hello there,
since I've been using this profile "Tasker - Total Data Connection & Sync Control V4" from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031743
I wanted to have a cool minimalistic widget, which shows the complete outgoing calls, txt messages and used mobile traffic of the current month.
I didn't find any app or tasker profile who fullfilled my idea, so I decided to make my own tasker profile.
So here is a preview of my profile. A scene will show up, when my launcher is visible, otherwise the scene will disappear.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You need:
- a rooted device
- sqlite3 installed
First of all, I used the traffic-counter profile from "brandall" and modified it, to minimize battery usage (removed some triggers and other stuff that I don't need (WLAN traffic...)).
Also to get the outgoing calls and txt message, I use some sqlite commands. So if you wanna you this profile, you need a compatible sqlite3 file. I think there's a good app which can install the sqlite3 automatically:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ptSoft.util.sqlite3forroot&hl=de
If you are on lollipop, you should use a newer version of sqlite3, not sure if it is available via the app. On my Sony Z1 compact, there was already a sqlite3 file installed on Stock ROM. Latest version of sqlite3 is available at Titanium Backup workspace:
/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files/sqlite3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So copy this sqlite3 file to
/system/xbin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or
/system/bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
depending on your device.
After copying file, you need to reboot.
So, there isn't nothing else needed.
Just to explain the profile:
Task "CALL_CNTR" makes a sqlite3 query to get the current outgoing minutes of the month.
Task "SMS_CNTR" makes a sqlite3 query to get the current outgoing txt messages of the month.
Task "ShowDATAoverlay" will show the scene of the data widget when launcher "nova launcher" is visible.
Task "HideDATAoverlay" will hide the scene of the data widget when launcher "nova launcher" is not visible.
Note: U can alternatively use this profile for minimalistic text widget instead of the scene (overlay). The variables are:
Outgoing calls variable = %CALL_MINUTES
Outgoing txt messages variable = %SMS_CNTR
Mobile data traffic variable = %TRAFFIC_CNTR
Profile tested on KitKat 4.4.4 and Lollipop 5.02.
Screenshot of scene at launcher:
Problems?
->sqlite3 installed, but not working? -> Did you already reboot your device?
Sqlite3 installing problems please not in this thread, thanks!
BTW: You need to adjust the trigger to show / hide the scene to your default launcher app.
Also you need to adjust the scene depending on your display size.

Looks interesting, however the xml is incomplete, the last part is missing so I cannot import it in Tasker
I'll try to figure it out myself, but a new export would be helpful

What is App Optimization exactly?

Ok, I just received the N910FXXU1COJ3 OTA on my DBT N-910F with all the security updates. Great, but I did notice that the conveniet app manager feature that killed background processes inside Smart Manager is now gone and from the looks of things, there is a new "alternative" ambiguously called App optimization, within the battery section.
Now I for one am getting pretty tired of this inconsistency and constant feature swapping and come here seeking information. Can anyone actually clear things up for me and explain what exactly App optimization means. Will it simply kill the apps background services and if so, why is the minimum timeout 3 days? I also heard that it is more like a disable fuature for the selected apps, meaning no activity whatsoever, like notifications.
Is there any way that i can make use of the convenient "garbage collection" that Smart Manager used to offer, or am I hopelessly stuck dealing with Samsung`s ADD?
Thanks, any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Ok. I have a call recorder. It just happens to stop working after awhile. I went to app optimazation and disabled it. Does that mean now that my Call Recorder app doesn't apply to these rules and should never shut off or stop working if I disabled it for that app. It's so annoying because all of sudden your looking and your call isn't being recorded. I have to open the app...then it works again. Am I using the app optimazation option improperly?
When I bought the pro version; a message appeared explaining to disable app optimazation for the app so it continuously works. Is this right? And I'm just dealing with an app problem or I'm I not using this feature properly. I want my call recorder to always be working. [email protected]

App Optimization is Doze mode, that simple

You have to disable App Optimization for apps that should always run in background or be accessible without opening the app itself like Tesla Unread, Torchie, some reminder apps an some e-mail apps. In my expirience if an app is being optimized it will not show any notifications and such until "acitivized" by opening the app itself.

Apps that I don't need running in background and have used more battery than I think they should when in background are set to "Always power saving". Exaples: 9GAG. Previously I used Greenify for these apps.
Apps that need to stay active at all times are set to "Disable for". Examples: Reminders, Tesla Unread.
Most of other apps are set to "Automatically optimising".

This.
This feature can also be found on aosp based roms like cm13.

i cant find some apps in the optimization list (like whatsapp) and messages comes really slowly !

Thanks! But before i have created another app for Amazfit Watch.
This: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/other-smartwatches/amazfit-gallery-app-t3564353
And already exist this simple timer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/other-smartwatches/amazfit-timer-app-t3552310

This app would perfectly fit my training...
Can it anyhow be pushed to EN firmware?

EN = US or EN = Pacefied/CN ADBed ?
if its a stock US firmware, you don't have access to the launcher list, thus you won't be able to launch any installed app.

Hey, I want to use the PACE (already ordered by GB) for gym training. Can I track my HR by indoor running (background) and use the interval timer in front/ at the same time?
The PACE isn't delivered yet and I'm on the way to decide If I flash PACEfied or use stock us.
I know that I have to flash to use side loaded apps like this.
Best regards,
Stefan

I found this tutorial on youtube to enable app list on US firmware:
"Amazfit - how to enable applist on english version using adb"
commandlines:
adb shell
> /sdcard/launcher_config.ini
am force-stop com.huami.watch.launcher
I then was able to install the interval timer successfully!

Hi, is it possible to beside of the vibration a sound countdown?

Great app! use it a lot, but, could you save preferences? It would be great!

Great app!!!. I use it for the exercises of my spinal injury. The only downside is that you can not save the default times, for example: 10 secs. 5 secs 14 times. Anyway, thank you very much for this great job.

Great job with the app! Thanks! I tried to find in the watch storage if your app has a folder where it stores the initial starting settings, like number of sets, work time and pause time. Could you make some modifications to change the default initial settings through a text file or something within the UI where to select it?

Really great application, thanks a lot.
Would it be possible to save the preferences, pleeeeease...

Yes, it's a good aplication. Need to save changes and possibility to tap on numbers to define intervals faster. Thanks a lot!

Super usefull. Just bought an amazfit verge to listen to songs without my phone while on the gym and had the idea to use it to mark some of my static Abdomen exercises. I was kinda shocked that the watch didn't have something like this by default. This app was just what I was looking for, thanks!
