New to the 1+ world, wondering if face unlock can work as I lift the phone and get the ambient display screen? Seems like a waste of effort to have to double-tap screen or press the power button to go to the lock screen first before FU activates.
Unfortunately that's what I was looking for but I did not find that feature....
Not possible without an update from OnePlus

Yes, this is what I thought. I think this is a major drawback of this phone. Clearly it *could* work if they wanted it to since the fp sensor is available from the ambient screen. Seems like they are trying to put the focus on the gimmicky in-screen fp sensor.

Hi
Which one is better in CM9 in your opinion?
With SoftKeys?
Without SoftKeys?
I don't get why youd even want softkeys, why would you want to waste a portion of your screen with keys that you have already have anyway
i didn't buy a device with a 5.3" screen because i like wasting screen real estate...
i did buy a device with a 5.3" screen because i like wasting screen real estate!
Tablet mode with touch keys is how i use it now.
I even disabled the original menu/back button, cause i touch them while typing.
Soft keys for the multitasking button. With such a large screen we can easily afford to waste screen real estate.
Also softkeys are not good for our SUPER AMOLED screens, they will be permanently burned to your screen after a few months!
No kidding!
Read about the AMOLED burn-in problem on Google.

So will your status bar.
I personally love the onscreen buttons. I disable the other ones and disable the backlight as well. I do this for the fact that my kids and I would constantly back out of things when grabbing the phone landscape. I like the fact that with the onscreen you have somewhere to grab the phone without backing out. And although not a big deal, its less stress not having to press the big button, and this I would think would help the longevity of the hardware button itself . But in the end, it's purely preference, oh and I don't worry about the burn in as I have mine set very low so its just noticeable and It moves when I open apps and when I go landscape.

I think that was so freaking obvious so I didn't mentioned it.
Point is, why have yet another static object on screen?

That is the main reason why I enable software keys on every ICS ROM I try! When you try on-screen keys you will feel how LONG it takes to launch the recent apps panel using the long-pres on Home button! Add to that I got very used to multitask using the recent apps softkey then physical button will only hinder my speed and will wear out in a matter of couple months
I've flashed the soft keys and disabled the back lights of the hardware keys, but how do I completely disable the hardware keys so I won't press them by accident?

I think its so freaking obvious that you're gonna have a burn in (allegedly) regardless.
Point is, why even bother trying avoid a screen burn in if its inevitable.

Point is if u enable softkey , ur status bar blend in with the keys to to bottom of the screen. Where is the another static object comes from? It is still one black bar just different position.

Have to quote this again so people are aware. Amoleds are notorious for ghosting due to pixel wear out burnout whatever you want to call it. Using the ICS on screen virtual buttons will surely destroy your screen.
That's why I also autohide my notification bar on the home screens.

Burn out is avoidable provided you don't leave static images on the screen for long periods of time. With the notification bar it is always there unless you use a launcher that hides it on the home screens and apps that have the option to hide the notification bar as well.
I use opera mobile so I can browse in full screen and not worry about static notification bars. Also use launcher pro so I can hide the notification bar.

How did you disabled them??? Is there an easy way?
I like to use the softkeys simply becuase it allows me to completely disable the capacitive buttons and use my s pen to go back, home and bring up the multitasking window pane :good:

That's one of those old wives tales.
The burn-in isn't so much related to the technology as it is related to build quality.
Most of those issues are stemming from Gnex owners, and the ones with problems usually have other build quality problems too... they just were unlucky to have a bad batch that skipped QC.
I've got a friend who had the Gnex from day one, and to this day... no burn-ins!
I would normally prefer physical buttons (ftw) but I'm going to have to agree that the Note needs "soft buttons" aka on-screen Navigations.
Why?
Because it gets annoying shifting finger to stylus and back again during the daily use.
Bonus reasons:
- without it, the device looks much better (like the Gnex or N9)
- these can be customized for colour, glow, function and gestures
Got my 6P a few days ago and the ambient display barely works. It will work but I have to shake the phone around like crazy for it to come on. It never displays when I pick it up or slightly move it like it should.
Anyone else have this issue?

Do you have a screen protector? If you do, maybe the protector is blocking the sensors on the front. Mine is working fine. In fact, I turned it off because it came on too often and the fingerprint unlock is just really convenient.

OK... So it seems that if I turn led notification off the ambient display works pretty good all of a sudden... Turn led notification back on it pretty much stops working again. What the heck...?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I turned mine off. Comes on too much.
I was annoyed that it's too sensitive on the Nexus 6 and for the 6p it's more difficult in comparison, almost a little on the too difficult side.
They really need to get it like the Moto X where you can wave your hand over the proximity sensor and have it light up.
After locking my 6P the ambient display will come on 4 or 5 times on its own. Just sitting on the table. Anyone else seeing this happening?
I've had pretty good luck with mine. Seems like maybe 90% of the time I take it out of my pocket the clock shows

Mine does that too
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Coming from a 2013 moto x, my 6P seems to sometimes not be sensitive enough/delayed when I pick it up. There is sometimes a 2-3 second delay from when it is picked up to when the screen turns on.
Has anyone tried an alternative active display app?
I find you have to shake it a lot too. Bit of a non-feature really.. it's easier just to press the button on the side.
I have same long response hardly good of a feature too. It does seem like mentioned before, it works a tad bit faster and better with PULSE LED setting off for notifications

I had this too and realised it was caused by the Light Manager app. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63595333&postcount=2415
HI Guys
Does any one know if there is a way to take selfie with either gesture or by tapping on imprint reader.
Just like you can do on Samsung phones, by either palm gesture to saying cheese or by tapping on heart reading sensor.
I am coming from s6 edge and that is one function i miss on my nexus 6p, other than that i love my phone.
thanks

I don't think that's possible. At least not at the moment. Why not just use the volume buttons to take the shot?

Any body know of a way to enable 180 screen rotation? I'm finding sometimes my hand blocks the speakers when browsing and watching videos. Might be better holding phone upside down with these new fancy on screen disappearing buttons

I believe there might be an app in the Play Store which could help. I haven't tried it yet. Look for Rotation Control. The first one that comes up has 4.5 star rating. There's several though.

My s8 plus screen along with home, back and app buttons were all able to flip 180 degrees upside down esrlie r but i can no ponger find a way to replicate this....
Is there a way to increase the touch screen sensitivity on this phone?
Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk
No. The touch interface is pretty slow and inconsistent compared to better phones. You will have to live with it.

I'm noticing this phone has a lot of issues... I was pretty excited at first, but now I'm more I'm really undecided among phones with similar specs (moto g5s plus...)

what is the problem with touch that you are facing?
I don't have any issues with touch sensitivity, how do you see that ?
One finger touches are fine and accurate it's when you use 2 thumbs when playing games. Sniper type games are the most noticeable, while using my left thumb to aim it doesn't register my right thumb tapping the shoot button unless I press really firmly also if I hold the shoot button the aiming get notch too but I only noticed it after the September update and not sure if it was there before that

Do you use screen guard for your mi a1? I don't know if your screen guard is the problem or something else though. If you use screen guard, try to remove it and see if it solved. Hope this works.
