Im having a issue with my carhome app where it would just pop up on me for no reason at all someone could just text or call me and it'll pop up for no reason! has this happend to anyone? Is there anyway for a none rooted person like me to get rid or freeze this app?
Is it near anything magnetic when this happens?

I have the same problem, my case has a magnetic piece to keep the flap closed. Will that do it?

Nope its a annoying bug! Apparently im not the only one havin this issue!
If Car Home is going off without being near anything magnetic then you may have a bug. It's a very easy fix. Root your phone and download a app called Bloat Freezer. Then just freeze car home and every other piece of bloatware you will never use. Bam...Car Home no longer pops up.

Matter of fact i found out that the magnet that closes my phone case was the culprit!

Works like a charm!
I "fixed" it myself by not getting a magnetic case

Yeah, that's actually better than the solution I had been using with Spider Launcher, which had an interaction with Task Switcher. The only downside I can see of this app is that it leaves the "car mode" icon in the notification bar, but it doesn't interfere with anything else. Thanks for the recommendation!

Can you guys do me a favor and check if there is a problem with my mytouch? Go somewhere where you can see your background well like the homepage or the messaging app preferably. Now at the center of your screen press pretty hard with your thumb and hold it there for a second or two. Do you guys also get that rainbow effect like when you press an lcd monitor, and then hear like a click when you let go? As long as you guys can replicate that I'm good.
Nope, I dont get that.

balls........
one of the demo phones did this at the store, looked like someone damaged the screen by pressing to hard. even when you touched it lightly on that spot it gave the rainbow effect. im not going to push that hard on mine to try and recreate it. to me it sounds like your screen is damaged.
no because mine only happens when i press moderately hard.
Well thats good it doesnt do it all the time, mine doesnt change colors with moderate pressure.

This is an example of people not understanding what issues are. I had to stop your video when I saw it.
The keyboard lags in the MESSAGING app. Not anywhere else. Any SMS client with any keyboard will have the lag. To repeat, the actual bug is "lags when typing text messages." So no, people aren't smoking crack. Just you and several others don't seem to understand the actual issue.
Not trying to dog you out, just misinformation is one of my pet peeves.

Strange... I use handcent and better keyboard fully customized and I have no lag on this or stock keyboard in messaging or any app for that matter
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Well if using handcent fixes the lag, then I stand corrected. I used the default keyboard, gingerbread keyboard from the market, swype, default SMS app and go SMS. All combinations produced the lag after a bit of texting, not just just one sentence.
If you can type out a paragraph using handcent without it slowing down then I will shut up. And thank you for finding a workaround.

Not doubting what u have had happen with your phone but I would give handcent a shot..
I use gingerbread and better keyboard and haven't had any lag whatsoever except when I type 4page ttext it converts to mms but u can change that setting
usually I don't use handcent but I grew tired of go and just like trying different apps
I am curious to now if this helps u at all so please post your results

I have Google Wallet installed and I'm having a problem actually using it. My NFC works fine. I've used it for other tasks but when I try to pay with Wallet by entering my pin and then holding it against the Pay pass device but it doesn't do anything and I end up looking like an idiot. Any ideas any suggestions?
Thanks

Likely the machine didn't work right or this guys didn't hold it properly or long enough. In my Otterbox Defender I physically placed my phone on the the terminal it surprisingly it took a while to trigger. Likely cause I didnt align it properly.
I have spent over 75$ using wallet.

Yes ditto. All walgreens, ASFAIK are disabled. Bestbuy is sometimes enabled, and 7-eleven sometimes the scanner is not tilted at the right angle for us to use it.
I've looked around but can't seem to find a video on how to exactly place it. Stupid question maybe but would help?

the back of the phone needs to almost touch or touch the NFC plate for the phone.
itll beep nearly immediately.
do you have NFC tags or have you used your NFC before?

yes I have them and use them daily. I guess as a last resort before uninstalling is I'll take my case off and try it that way. Thing is that my NFC tags work with my case so never figured it might be that.
you could be using it on inactive machines too. as long as you followed the steps in tonus guide it probably works.
So I removed the case and still no go. So I guess I will remove it.

I've provided pics but this mysterious buuble keeps appearing at random, at the bottom of the screen yo. its some sort of pull up app drawer. I can't figure out how it keeps popping up or how to tremove it hahaha not trying to be funny anymore! its annoying. gets In the way of the keyboard and whatnot.
this must be a feature of beans ROM, I'm thinking. I dunno tho, a Google search came up with nothing.

hold back to get rid of it.
it's multiwindows ported from the note2, I find it completely useless and hate it as I use longpress back to kill apps, I can use menu button instead, but i will NEVER use the "feature" on this phone.
it sucks that rom devs are including it in ROMs, I'd much rather not see it at all or just have it as an add-on instead of forcing it on us.
I honestly never feel the need to have 2 apps open taking up half the screen each, I can just do one at a time, but I can see how it could be nice on the note II with the s-pen.
I did order a bunch of cheapy pens that work on the phone its pretty cool, but the multiwindow feature, garbage.

This app uses your phone's motion, gravity, and proximity sensors to automatically turn on and off your screen so that you don't have to press any keys (software or hardware).
For instance, when I put my S4 inside my pocket or holster it to my belt clip, the screen turns off automatically. When I take the phone out, the screen turns on automatically as well.
I've tried a few apps similar to this before but this one just works very well and consistently.
I already installed it on my mom's and wifey's S2s and they love it too~! Just wanted to share the goodness~
Wow it is pretty impressive! Thanks for sharing. .

No problem. I figured there must be others who will find this kind of app convenient to have around. I just love not having to press the home or power button every time I want to turn the screen on.
Any hit on battery performance?

The author of the app said to expect a hit about 5%. I've been using it for 2 days now and I haven't noticed any difference so far. But then, I'm running on the ktoonsez kernel with -50mV, all-around.
Freekin love this app
Thanks for the heads up op! works like a charm, now I've got to get used to not pressing my power key on wake

Sweet app....I noticed I had to lower the sensitivity while my phone was in my mount while driving. The screen kept coming on.
Nice catch. Love this app.
This is exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks for the find!

Very nice find, bought the pro version right away, this is awesome but does anyone knows if there's something you can do so when you put your phone face up on the table it lock it without waiting 5 secs?

The only time the screen turns off on me when I don't want it to is when I text and I accidentally rest one of my fingers over the proximity sensor by mistake. Otherwise, it's been good. I wish there was a time-delay option for proximity sensor to turn off the screen so an accidental finger covering up the proximity sensor doesn't turn off the screen right away.

I see. It's an extra step but you could pull down the notification menu and pause the app before gaming then turn it back on afterwards. My mom tells me that sometimes when she's watching Netflix, the screen turns off on her. I told her not to cover up the sensor but she just disabled the app.

According to GSam battery monitor, Gravity Screen Off is responsible for only 0.2% battery drain. I haven't noticed any extra drain because of this app.
