Really simple power problem, I just can't fix it

I have an O2 Orbit.
When on battery it turns itself off after 1 minute to save power.
Sometimes I want it to stay on for a while when I am downloading a big email attachment over wifi. Otherwise the Orbit suspends and turns off the wifi, so no more download.
The only way I can make it stay on to go
Settings -> System -> Power -> Advanced then untick the "Turn off device if not used for" box under On battery power.
I then have to turn it on again when the download is done.
Is there an app out there that I can configure to toggle this power setting on and off with fewer clicks?
I've had a good search and a google, but all the apps are about restarting or shutting down the device.
I can't be the only person to have this desire?
Thanks,
Simon

I created small program - BatsToggle - for this problem.
When you start it enable/disable battery sleep, you will be prompted.
It's only 4KB and coded in eVC4 ;]

Brilliant, thats just what I needed.
Thanks!

Robo defense issues (i think)

So i bought the game Robo Defense from market and i must say it's nice.
But i have a few problems (i think, not sure if it's normal or not).
1: When i start a game and complete it, it says i can start a new game by going to menu and use the new game, but for that have to quit the game and start it again (is that normal?).
2: Whenever i have completed a game and quit, i cant press the Resume game (dont know how that works?).
3: I dont think my save game file saves correctly, everytime i have completed a game and quit the game and open it i only have the points i got in the previous game, So there's no way for me to get above 500000 points which some updates cost, since it restarts on every game (is that normal too?)

None of that is normal. I used to play that game alot on my previous phones, but have not installed it on my Sensation, as I have grown bored of it now. So I could not tell you if it works on my Sensation or not.

Well i found out that resume game is if you dont complete the game or want to take a break, but else i have the 2 other problems.

So no one knows how i can fix my other 2 issues?

When you've finished a game, do you press the "back" button of your Sensation, or do you press the "menu" button of your Sensation?
you mustn't press "back" (the arrow) but press "menu" (second button from the left) to get the menu to show up, and then return to main screen of Robo defense, etc
If it's what you're doing already, you definitly have a problem (unistall/install again?)

SongPop hack (Always win)

OK so I'm not a big cheater myself but I found out how can you always win in SongPop.
I only recommend to use it when you accidentally tapped on the wrong song or something else, I don't want many people become a cheater!!!
Steps:
1. Start a game in SongPop, play all the 5 songs in the round, no matter what you tap on, just remember what were the correct answers.
2. Just before the game shows "Finished", leave the game (go to homescreen).
3. Go to app settings (easiest way is to long press home, long press on SongPop and select Application Settings).
4. Select "Clear Data" button, then click on OK.
5. Restart SongPop. You have to login again, but after this when you click on the game you previously played, it will start all over again, and you can make all the songs correct.
Maybe some of you have already found this out, I didn't find a similar thread to this.
And once again: DO NOT USE THIS ALL THE TIME!

what a idiotic way to do this damn man lol i mean clear all the data then again going back to the game. in the latest build its impossible and it can crash the phone too for those who are using mounts2sd

[APP][WIP][DEVS NEEDED] Hands Free Now [ALPHA]

HANDS FREE NOW​
Hands Free Now is an attempt to fix the bug in Google Now that Google itself never fixed.
As most of you know, as of Android 4.1+, our headsets are configured to work as follows:
1. Single press for play/pause
2. Double press for next
3. Long press for Google Now
However, the long press option does not work when the screen is off. It works only when screen is on. This is a bizarre lack of feature because if the screen is on and unlocked, you might as well click the mic on the desktop widget to launch Google Now. Why would you need the long press option anyway?!
Several attempts were made by many people to bring Googler's attention to this lack of feature, but all of em were conveniently turned down.
So I guess it's up to us to fix it.
I have started making this app but being the newbie that I am, I'm not sure if I can finish it alone. That's why I request you guys to help me out with this.
Uploaded below is the first apk
Concept in brief:
1. Launch Audio service that intercepts media KeyEvents
2. Once KeyEvents are triggered, create an empty StandOut window that blocks the entire display.
3. Wake up device, disable keyguard and launch Google Now
4. Release wakelock immediately. and reenable keyguard
5. Kill process in 10 seconds
Steps to use:
1. Install app
2. Open app from launcher once. You can go back to Home after this if you want
3. Lock screen.
4. Jack in the head set and triple press the button.
5. Device should unlock itself and in some time will launch Google Now
6. Fire your voice command and wait for response.
7. In 10 seconds, the screen will lock again.
8. For these 10 seconds, your phone will not respond to touches (this is intentional and by design, because you would not want your phone to "pocket dial" while travelling)
Release Notes:
1. App is currently incompatible with music players
2. Battery effectiveness is unknown; you might have to uninstall it once you have tested it
If you can help, the source code can be found on GitHub.

Installed app, but it wont launch after 3 presses of the button, I get a double beep sound when doing so.
I can help out with testing if you want but as far as coding goes im not very useful xD

Bluetooth too?
Will it work with Bluetooth headsets as well or only wired ones?

THANK YOU!
I registered just to say thank you, your little app allowed me to have the kind of music control I alway longed for since i passed from iPhone to Nexus 5. I'm truly grateful.:good:

I had the problem when the screen was off. After when I long press the little button on my headset. Then comes a black screen with a message: please wait (initializing) but nothing does.
But this app solve my problem!
Now I can use Google Now over my Headset.
Thank you very much! ?

Seems an old thread, but nevertheless: Thank you! Finally it works!
I'm just curious if it would be possible to change add long-press functionality. The app AutoVoice is capable of receiving a long press (also with locked screen). But it doesn't help because it relies on the not working Google Search.
Possible idea: your App could register as a service capable of receiving the VOICE_SEARCH_HANDS_FREE intent, it could receive the long press and start its procedure. It won't work immediately because Android will display the "Choose default app" prompt, that obviously doesn't work when the screen is locked/off. In order to choose the default app one has to wake the screen and manually override the keyguard/lock (for example via Secure Settings Plugin and Tasker). The override is somewhat buggy, and even though the screen is on, the phone still 'thinks' it's locked. Now: long-press to receive the command for long-press while locked, see menu and select default app. ..Hope my explanation isn't too bad.
I'm investigation another workaround to get it working with music player.
Best regards, Grtschnk

How-To: Fix unrecognized controller input in Half Life 2 (inability to select weapons

Hey everybody,
i hope this is the right forum to post this. I was dying to play Half Life 2 on my Shield Tablet, but i was not able to change my weapons in game, and also the i couldn't use the Playstation controller in the Options or Controller menu. I know that this is a problem for everybody, who tries to play it with a PS4 (and i think also PS3) controller.
But i've finally found a workaround and after enjoying Half Life 2 for a few days now, i wanted to share it^^.
First off i don't remember all options i enabled/disabled, but i'll list those that i think i did something too. If i find out how, i might just share my app's profile. These are a few steps right here, but only because i went into detail a little, in order to make it as easy as possible to follow.
1. Get Gamekeyboard+
2. Go to "Settings" in the app
3. Look for "Input Device" subcategory -> "Use Advance Input" - check that
4. Below is the "Operation Mode" subcategory -> "Joystick Mode" - check that too
5. Go into "Internal Options" at the bottom of the settings screen
6. "Find 8-way D-Pad" - check that
7. Find "Use Analog" - check that
7. Go back into the apps initial screen - press "Start"
8. Start Sixaxis Controller to connect your PS3 or PS4 gamepad (doesn't matter if you do this before you start GameKeyboard, or after)
And now, better press the volume-up key on your device, which by default should bring up GameKeyboard's onscreen buttons, which emulate physical input. Do they appear? If yes, good. You can turn them off, by pressing volume-up again.
Now open Half Life 2 and enjoy full support of your controller!
So as i take it, Half Life 2 does a better job at recognizing this gamepad, which is actually just a soft emulation, but since you can use GameKeyboard's buttons with a physical controller as well, even if they are not on screen, GameKeyboard in this case serves as the missing link to make this 100% compatible with Playstation controllers.
I hope this will help a lot of people out, who were just as bummed by the fact, that they could not change weapons in the game, let alone access the Options/Controller menu (or not be able to navigate in them, to be precise).

Thank bro I am about to take a long road trip this weekend and I hope this works so I can play and beat half life to on the way!:laugh::laugh:
