I flashed my WiFi Xoom to the stock 3.01 using the stock images in the thread here.
I then did the standard OTA upgrades to 3.1 and 3.2. I noticed the other day, that when i'm in a file manager and i tap to open a file (video for example) it doesn't prompt me which app to use to open the file.
The semi-transparent black background fades in as if the dialog had popped up, but it doesn't show. If i press the back button or tap the background, the semi-transparent background fades away and i'm back to the file manager as normal.
It does it in every file manager i have tried and for any file i try open.
Anyone seen this before?

Yes, this seems to be a bug in HC3.2...when it dims, just rotate the Xoom from landscape to portrait mode, for instance, forcing the Xoom to re-draw the "picker" window. You should have no further problems with that app, but it's best to choose a default app when asked.

I am having an issue with the following apps in the Apps screen on my Nexus
updated facebook
compass
movies
the weather channel
shopsavvy
after downloading these apps from the Market, the text under the icons seems to be off to the right in the main applications screen, but if i make a shortcut for the same app onto the home screen, the text under the icons in the home screen is properly aligned...
Anyone else having this issue?
I have firmware 2.1, Baseband 32.19.00.16U_4.02_02.14 and Kernel 2.6.29-gad36b87 [email protected] #1
ok I fixed it
Just change to another locale (eg, from UK english to US english) and its fixed.
Silly bug!
I also noticed this, a simple turn off-turn on will also solve this problem it seems!
what do you mean text misalignment? In my app menu I have apps that the word isn't spaced and 1 or 2 letters continue underneath the icon.
Is that what you mean?
if so, where did you go to change your locale?

I have this problem as well. I don't think it's the same as the ops.
Reboot fixes this

I saw the same for "Wikitude": the text started a few spaced to the right underneath the icon, as if starting with a Tab. I rebooted and the problem was fixed. Then I installed "g-Lock demo", and had the same problem. Another reboot fixed that too.
After installing new apps, sometimes the icon appears in a new screen, sometimes I get a blank screen (that I can't remove until I reboot), sometimes nothing happens (and a new screen with shortcuts appears after a reboot).
Is this just me?

It's not just you, I have this bug too.
But if you want to remove the blank screen without reboot the device just move an icon to the blank screen then remove it again

This happens because sometimes after installing a new app, we move from that screen or perform another action before the new apps icon can be placed by default on a new screen. This results in a blank screen with nothing on it. You can't move or delete the homescreen because it renders that there should be a new app shortcut there, but we don't see one. So what i've done to avoid this is, wait for the app shortcut to push to the home screen, the remove it and that automatically gets rid of the home screen.
If it does show up blank again, as he recommended, just move something to that new screen then remove it again and it will disappear.
That new function is similar to that of iOS, when installing a new app, it tries to show you the shortcut to what you just installed, rather than having you manually create the short cut yourself.
Kind of annoying - agreed, but you adjust. It's second nature to me now.
You can have it not put the icons on your home screen by default in Google play settings. The option is place widgets on homescreen automatically. Disable that and newly downloaded apps stay in your app drawer for you to place manually if you want.

I think this is fixed in 4.4.1 or 4.4.2.
Installed and removed a handful of apps and the extra screens and app shortcuts now consistently do what they're supposed to do.
So recently whenever I download or update an app it appears in my notification pane while it is downloading but as soon as it finishes it disappears from the notification pane. The apps all update and function correctly I just have to go into my app drawer to access them instead of easy access from the NP initially? I have searched everywhere for a setting I may have changed can't find anything. Im stock rooted with Gravity Box installed but I have found nothing that seems to affect this is GB at all?
Any help would be appreciated?

Just disable Gravity Box, reboot and test. If it works, then you'll know what's up, if not, then tis an interesting glitch.
I have never used Light Manager before, but the idea of different colored lights for different types of notifications sounds useful. I have tried to get it to work for the past 3 days, but I can't find a combination of options that will work.
Is anyone using it successfully who might let me know what their configuration is?
I appreciate your time.
Did you remember to turn on the LED in your phone settings? You go to Settings>Notifications>Tap the gear in the upper right. Make sure you turn that switch on.
When you first open light manager it will prompt you to allow notification access which can be found under your phone's settings>apps>little gear at the top right>special access>notification access. Make sure light manager is checked. (It asks you to set that up right when you first open light manager)
After that just it should start working. Go into light manager and start setting up your colors and stuff. You can test each notification you set up (just have to make sure to turn off your screen while the test is going on)

I just re-installed it and got the notification message, now it's working fine. I don't know how I missed it the first time through. Thanks!
I just gave this a go but ambient display kept coming on every few seconds for no reason.

Yup. I installed the free light manager to test and as soon as I turned the screen off ambient display kept turning on every few seconds.

This is a bug the developer is aware of. It only applies to "Alternating Mode". I switched back to normal and it stopped.

Oh ok awesome. I didn't try that mode but will give it another try with that mode enabled.
I also had some issues with LF. My gmail functioned as it should, but I could not use sms or other apps. The developer told me how he got things to function properly. I have had no issues sense. Here is what you need to do. Just change out the app you want for notifications.
I'd recommend the following.
1. remove the contact specific notification you have set up and the standard text message notification.
2. get a text message from the contact you want specific notifications for and don't yet read it.
3. go into lightflow, notification settings and press "+" and select from all installed apps and select messenger.
4. Press "+" again and select from an outstanding notification and select the unread text message and select it and click add.
5. Find this notification and click on it (then press the pencil icon in the title to give it a meaningful name)
6. Enable the "notification person matches..." switch
7. Finally in notification settings click on the 3 lines with an arrow button at the top and drag the contact specific notification above the default messenger notification.
This is the setup I use on my 5x and 6p and pixel. It also allows you to do similar for pretty much any app or for example switch when a particular word is in a notification so it's quite customisable.
Cheers

This isn't about lightflow. This is about light manager.
lol sorry!!!
Are there settings for the following features?
1. To turn off the message on the home screen that says "swipe up or down to show apps".
2. Turn off the Wallpaper for the Always On display?
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
The swipe message disappears after you use the gesture to both open and close the app drawer.
As far as I can tell, that wallpaper is unchangable.
I already post this in another thread...
The blue text on the lock screen.
You have to double tap on it then tap the next button in the bottom right.
Keep pressing next until it turns into ok.
Once done it wont come back on.
And you can go into the aod settings and change the background and style of the lock screen.
You can definitely change the wallpaper for AOD, in the themes section. I've seen a select few other wallpapers for it, keep in mind the theme store has more paid ones than free.

I have opened and closed the app drawer over and over with this gesture and yet every single time i unlock my phone, i get this message. Are we sure thats the solution? I've even restarted my device and did a restore on it as well and i still get this message. It is absolutely mind boggling that there is no way to actually disable tooltips like this one.
EDIT: Ask and ye shall receive! So, no sooner than i posted this did i look and my phone was downloading an update. After the update this annoying message is GONE! Whats funny is the first thing i did after getting home with the new device this morning was to check for software updates and there wasnt one.
