I have had the payed version of Lock 2.0 since there was an option to buy but since I got my Nexus One it has now become pretty much unusable. The sad part is that it is better than the lock button that is on the top of the phone cause it lets you bring up the lock screen by pressing your track ball. I love all the different back grounds and sounds you can download and how they stay in a folder and not in your app draw (which is really annoying). Now the thing I don't like is that when you press the volume buttons when the phone is locked you can and will turn down or up the volume on accident and this is why this app is now unusable. Can it really be that hard to add an option to disable these buttons? I have emailed Android Apps and they say the reason the volume button does that is for when you are listening to music and thats great but whats the use if when you get a call or text and you can't hear it cause you turned the volume down to 0 on accident. I emailed them today again and asked if they could update their app and I hope they do. The reason I started this thread is so anybody could comment on this problem with I have to say is probably my second favorite app on the market. I will also email them a link to this thread so they can see what everybody thinks. One more thing on another lock app LockBot when you press the volume button the sound does not get turned down but I don't want to really pay for two apps that can do the same thing. Edit: OK they fixed it but their is a new problem with the home button.

What rom are you using?
Cyanogens latest has an option for trackball wake-up (and of course that mod can be applied to other roms as well) if that is indeed the biggest thing about it you like. I personally never saw the need to change my lockscreen from stock, but can understand why some people do.
I am using the stock rom, I didn't want to root this phone since you void your warranty and mine is pretty messed up I should get a replacement this week. Also I am glad Cyanogen added that and that tells you it is a problem in the stock or he wouldn't have had to improve on it. So people like me only have the option of downloading an app to get the same results. Also I have used a rooted phone before, I had been using my Google Ion rooted for about 6 months before I got my Nexus One.
Ok I just got an email from the developer and they have disabled the volume buttons by default on the new version that was fast. Now there is a weird problem where even after you set the Launcher as the default for your home button it still keeps opening Lock 2.0, its really annoying but I already told them so I'm sure they will fix it. Now if only Google would respond like this for their "Support Forums" on fixing the 3G and Touchscreen problems the world would be a better place.
I understand the issue with the volume keys. I don't listen to music so i installed the app (ringer mode locker) by kaa from the market. It overrides the system setting and locks on your choose of settings: vibrate, ringer silent etc. If you volume up or down it stays on you set point. I like if because it is not a background app using extra battery trying to monitor a set point.

Please don't critisize Google like this, 3G issues and Touchscreen problems are not simple applications in which code can be modified to turn off the "Volume" buttons.. I've noticed the employees on their forums try to solve things to the best of their abilities - but Google can not just correct everything as if it takes a small flick of the wrist, or click of a mouse...
Honestly I don't see how they will fix any 3G issue entierly without modifiying the insides of the phone.. guess I dont know enough about phones to make such a conclusion anyways.

I emailed them about this a couple of weeks ago. I told them exactly that and I got a "Steve Jobs-like" response lol..
"Something is wrong with your phone."
I even posted about it a couple of times in the Q&A section but got no responses. I'm glad to see someone on a stock ROM is experiencing the same issue because I thought it was due to using CM. Are you using an auto task-killer?

Get "KeyGuard disabler" from the market. It costs 1.49 but does exactly what you want. I'm sure there are free versions of similar software too but this is only one i've ever tried.

wow dude just tried it! works perfect! thanks man!
Meh....
After installing and trying to use it, I finally gave up. It has the potential to be by far one of the best android apps. The developer has designed programs that mesh with android so natively that I am jealous of his understanding. But even after a few reinstallations, this program never delivered. A replacement lockscreen must be more than just pretty. It wasn't sized right for the Nexus One screen and constantly froze "Updating List", even when I was just trying to unlock. The "Updating List" freeze causes a loop that just recalled the freeze when I hit home. There is no escape short of hitting menu, more, home, then selecting my home screen program. I would consider that a lock screen fail if I have to navigate a menu to select a home screen instead of sliding the sexy little slider over. I hate taking refunds from the market, but Lock 2.0 needs more work. If I see anyone saying it has been adjusted for the N1 screen and the home bug has been fixed, I'll buy it again, but until then, I'll stick with the just weather and toggle widgets.
I hear that Lock 2.0 disables notifications on the Nexus One. Does anybody know of any apps thats just as attractive as Lock 2.0 that doesn't disable notifications or freeze.. etc.. (something iphone-ish i guess)
Any news about the home button bug bypassing the lock screen in Lock 2.0?
As far as a can tell its been working good and the dev added the option to clear the home screen default if it does it again. Its pretty sad that he left it messed up for months until I sent him the link to this thread.

Thanks, but I was referring to another bug (unless I'm totally mistaken):
When you turn on your nexus and you're still on Lock 2.0 lock screen, if you press the home button, it unlocks the phone without having to use the slider.
Hope this was clear...
Subject says it all. "vibrate on touch" not functioning...AGAIN, and I did factory reset, firmware update blah blah blah. This makes 3 in a row for me with this issue. C6, C5, and now C7 s/n.
This time I bought it at Best Buy locally instead of online like the first two, so I can exchange it more easily.
So, what's the over/under on the total # of times I'll be exchanging this thing until I get one that works 100%?
Mechanical construction seems fine w/ minimal light bleed.
One final thing ASUS: W T F ?!
No haptic feedback on what, typing? There are settings to increase the instensity and the stock setting you can't feel it, so you need to go to the keyboard in settings and change the intensity.

No touch feedback on ANYTHING.
The only place I notice the haptic feedback is when I power the device on and off - that's it... I'm wondering if all 3 units were actually fine the whole time??

My first one it worked fine then inexplicably stopped working. Every time I tapped the screen I would get a response. When I would place widgets on the screen I would get a response. I can adjust the settings/volume in advanced keyboard settings, but when I type there is no feedback response. Mine does vibrate on start-up/shut-down, that's it.
I feel a slight vibration when I press any of the three buttons on the lower left of the home screen
Did you go to "Settings - Sound - Vibrate On Touch" and turn it on?

If it works on startup/shutdown then I don't think it's a hardware problem - probably just a combination of settings...

This is nuts...
There is an option that can be toggled on and off in the settings menu. It's called "vibrate on contact". You know what I am referring to, right? Whether or not that box is checked has no effect on the haptic feedback.
I am aware of the 'advanced keyboard settings' where the duration of the feedback can be set. I can slide that around and feel the response. When I use the keyboard: no response. Again, it's not just the keyboard, it's everything.
My very first tablet, when I clicked on menu items, icons, etc, the scren would vibrate..just like my cell phone. Every time I tapped the screen there was a solid response. Then it suddenly stopped working. 2nd tablet, very faint feedback when hitting the 3 icons in the lower right hand side, none anywhere else.
I have a feeling a LOT of people have this issue and don't realize it and/or don't care about it.
Bottom line is, my constant issue has nothing to do 'playing with settings' hard boot, cold boot, boot in the ass, whatever. It has to do with piss poor quality control on the part of the mfg.

When I turn it on... All 3 lower left icons have haptic feedback. When I go into settings and turn off "vibrate on touch" , it doesn't work. I don't see a problem.

Haptic feedback response is supposed to be for more than just clicking on those 3 icons you are referring to. How about when you select various things from the settings menu? When you click on an app? Press and hold an app/widget in the menu to drag to the homescreen? In those cases, and others like typing, there should be vibratory feedback. If you're ok with it then great. I just feel that if I am spending $500+ on something I want ALL the functions to work.

Are you using the stock launcher?
Ya, thats settings for the tablet dude. If you feel the feedback when you turn it on or off then it IS working. Asus has just nerfed the HF when your navigating around android likely to save battery life. Chances are with custom roms and custom kernels when they come you can boost the intensity of the vibration and enable it for everything, not just three or four buttons on the homescreen.
Honestly, in a device like this having HF is sort of silly, one tiny vibrator isnt going to provide that much feedback in such a large device and it just kills battery. The only time i really like having it is when i turn on the device and get that feedback to tell me that yes, the tablet is in fact turning on.
I had the same issue that haptic feedback was only working while powering the device up.
But to my big surprise it started to work on everything without me doing anything about it.

Maybe its a bug that didn't exist in the firmware version on your original unit, but exists in the current firmware...
My point is that its not a *hardware* issue if it vibrates on power up/down...

Maybe, but I always turn off haptic on my phones and tablets.. never did like them
Ok, so I just tested this. The only way to key the soft keyboard keys to vibrate on touch is by going into the "Asus Keyboard" settings and enabling it there. If I enabled it under the "Android keyboard" settings, it doesn't work (since we actually using the Asus soft keyboard). Also, make sure to increase the vibration length as it defaults to 1ms or something like that.
Have you enabled the vibration under *Asus Keyboard* settings?
The back, home and recent apps soft keys did vibrate by selecting Vibrate on touch under Settings->Sound.
So, it seems to work as expected here...

I just picked up a Galaxy note 10.1 since the price was right, and my G-tab is losing it's stamina.
it got a OTA download of 4.12 and all was good after a looooong time.
The Problem:
I have no idea how to get at the launcher's settings. (you know, like the ADW Launcher has ADW Settings)
every time I change a page a voice says page one of four or two of four etc.
Also if I open the apps drawer, there she goes again! I have searched all over the place and cannot find how to shut that woman up!
any help would be very much appreciated,
Thanks

Sounds like an issue that comes up frequently--driving mode has been turned on, hence the voice. That setting is in the general notification settings, in the top horizontal scrolling bar. You can also get to it to turn it off under settingg-personal-language and input-text to speech output. As for launcher settings, you may want to download a launcher off play.

I remember shortly after getting my Nexus 5 that I noticed a hand icon in quick settings for do not disturb setting..
I went to use it the other day and it had disappeared. I had unlocked and rooted and also flashing custom kernel.
So as I couldn't find any setting to re enable, and suspecting it might have been something I had done, I downloaded Google nexus 5 image and reflashed to stock, but still no joy .
Any advice ?

I don't remember seeing anything like this, as I recall. But I am disappointed that the Quick Settings are not really all that quick. Tapping things like Bluetooth or Wifi takes you to the full settings page for that feature instead of simply toggling it on and off as I usually am trying to do.

If you hold the icon instead of clicking it, it turns on the radio. For example, pressing WiFi takes you to the WiFi settings page, but long holding the icon will just turn it on. Same for BT.
As for the Do not Disturb, I've never seen that. I know iOS has it...and I'm sure there are Google Play apps to do something similar, but Android doesnt have that stock.
Sadly it doesn't exist in stock android. They really have to add that. Every other platform has it except stock android.
EDIT: Yes, I know touchwiz and sense have it.

Thanks. It makes me wonder though how the "average" person is ever supposed to learn little things like this -- certainly not intuitive IMO.
Mystery solved, just realised that I had switched back to my HTC One with a leaked version of sense 5.5

I found that you can press the power button and from that menu you can set the volume to vibrate or mute. Not sure if this is what you were looking for.
Thankfully custom ROMs will be here soon (in more complete/stable forms) to make all of these annoying issues better. Stock Android lacks some seriously useful little touches, but that's why we got unlocked devices....

Hey,I came from an M8 where there was a tab on the quick setting to edit the order of the settings when the notification bar is two finger swiped. How do we do that in marshmallow?
I think you are referring the "System UI Tuner" feature of Marshmallow. I tried to activate it, without any luck. Maybe HTC Sense disables it.
http://www.androidcentral.com/inside-marshmallow-system-ui-tuner
Just tried it, no luck either. There must be a work around.
No luck
I cannot get this to work. I have an A9 with Sprint. Developer options are on, animation is on, and I've tried every scenario in this thread. The main reason I'd like to change the quick settings menu is I see a security flaw (I'll call it). When the phone is locked, whenever you wake the screen you can still pull down the quick settings menu. So if my phone gets stolen someone can turn off my mobile data and/or Wi-Fi. Problem then is I am not able to lock, wipe, or locate my device. This obviously has to be an oversight on Google but I'm sure it'll be addressed someday
SystemUI Tuner is NOT on the Sprint A9 at least if not missing on all.
I'd suggest reaching out to @moversi and JasonMac at HTC regarding this, as it doesn't line up with their press to bring a more slim sense and stock Android here.
In my opinion HTC has been faulty for awhile at removing bone stock Android features, all of which should be present on the A9 with its slimmer sense.
-MultiUser support
-Ambient Display(have Amoled screen now)
-SystemUI Tuner
-Adaptive Sound I believe is another
HTC did a great job at enhancing Android for many years but now Android has evolved to the point where we are seeing stock features removed completely.
Hopefully they address this, but it's not likely unless they hear the outcry as things like multiuser have been absent for a long long long time on Sprint at least.

That figures, thanks for letting me know this so I'm not going crazy anymore. Would I have this option if I root the phone? I'm really leaning towards rooting (as soon as Marshmallow is figured out) so simple things like this are possible.
Hey guys, I'm also really missing the quick settings editing feature. Is there an HTC support forum where we could bring out this issue?
