[Q] Call settings? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So one problem I have noticed was that if I was in any app and someone would call in and after they left it would jump to the call log. I'm wondering if its possible to disable this, as when I'm playing games it would not revert back to the game I was playing and I would have to load it again

Hi,
I remember back in the gingerbread and ICS days... the ROMs that I used had the option for the phone calls to come in on background... meaning I would see it first in the status bar while I was playing a game or in an app. Then I could decide to answer and after the call it would jump back to where I was.
I'm sure there has to be a ROM or mod that would allow this to happen.
I'll search for u and get back.
What is ur setup right now? ROM?

ICS Rom's are still very young, but some are starting to inclue the cyanogenmod settings menu which will allow you to change your lockscreen short cuts. Give it some time...
so you say the best thing to do is to keep with what i have till they get the nuts out

If they update the ROM I would update as well. It's not going to get worse, only better.
I just don't want to lose the new menu thing where your messages and email and app draw phone and cam.

PowerAmp and SKY-ICS 4.2 Dragon

Hey guys, I've got a problem, and I'd ask it in the dev thread for this ROM, but seeing as I'm just a newb, I'm not allowed to post there. I've done some light searching around the forum and haven't found an answer, but if I happened to miss it, please forgive me for my newbishness.
Let me preface this by saying hot dang, I am SO glad that I flashed my Skyrocket with SKY-ICS. I've been running stock for half a year and after tasting SKY-ICS, I'll NEVER go back. I've seen that Seanz has worked up a great reputation with this SKY-ICS and now I can see why!
Anyways, my problem is that whenever I'm running PowerAmp and I put my screen to sleep, it stops playing music. When I turn my screen back on, I can quickly see up top that PowerAmp just gets activated again, like putting my phone to sleep caused it to terminate the application. I'm guessing this could be a design in the actual SKY-ICS, as in maybe it forces my phone into deep sleep when I press the power button? The only thing that confuses me on that is that Spotify will run perfectly even when my phone is "asleep."
Is anyone else having this problem? Or at least does anybody have any suggestions as to what I could do to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help guys!
Check your Settings in Poweramp.

Thanks for the reply, but I did already check on that, and I enabled "Use Wakelock," but that didn't seem to fix the problem... Any other suggestions?

Not sure. I'm running aokp and have no problems with poweramp. Maybe it's rom-related, i'm not too sure. I'll poke around and see if I can think of anything else.
Edit: Wondering if it's maybe due to whatever was stripped from the rom itself. Have you tried the regular safe base? If not, maybe you should make a nandroid and give it a shot if you're willing.

I may give that a shot whenever I get a little bit of time this weekend. I kind of figured it would be something that was stripped or something, but I couldn't ask it in the dev thread. Upon some more in-depth searching in the official thread (I discovered this handy search bar labeled "Search Thread"! Who knew?) I was able to come across a temporary solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28593163&postcount=114
But like I said, I'll probably troubleshoot it by trying out the other flavor, but this is a temporary solution that oughta work... If I find anything else out, I'll be sure to update this thread. Thanks for your willingness to help out a newb, btm fdr!
I just tested this and have the same problem. It's always worked on past SKY ICS Roms. This will be a HUGE inconvenience for me since I listen to music while riding my motorcycle. As soon as the screen goes off, PowerAmp stops playing.
I'll post it in the "SKY ICS AT&T Official" thread.
It's running fine for me on the dragon. Wakelock is unchecked.

I saw this thread in the Skyrocket General section, and then tested myself and realize I am experiencing the same issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770780
I'm currently running:
4.2F6 R2 Rom (not speed dragon)
Update 1.7
UCLF6 modded kernel
Issue/symptom:
When playing music in PowerAmp, music stops playing as soon as screen shuts off. Music resumes when screen awakens. EDIT: music doesn't resume automatically.... I have to manually restart it in the PowerAmp player. I am double checking all settings in PowerAmp...
This is a major inconvenience since I listen to music while riding my motorcycle.
I haven't experienced this issue on previous SKY ICS. It worked perfectly on the "SKY ICS Rogers official release". All PowerAmp settings are the same from previous ROM versions (restored from Titanium Backup)
Thanks in advance!

I uninstalled/reinstalled PowerAmp, left the default settings, and it resolved the problem.
I went through each setting individually and confirmed that if I check:
Settings > Lock Screen > Enable Lock Screen
If that is checked, it breaks. If that is unchecked PowerAmp plays while screen is off.
This is a new "issue" on this Rom.
I also don't have the lock screen power amp controls. *shrug* I can live without that.
Thanks for posting the issue in the official thread. I agree, I can do without the controls if I must (as I only discovered them a few weeks ago,) but they really are handy to have. I'll keep an eye on the official thread for answers too.
The process is probably being turned off in setting on power amp theres a box to keep service on when screen is shut off,SKY ICS is a very awsome ROM though I was on it for some time

I tried turning that "keep service on" on/off eariler today while troubleshooting. That had no affect. Like I previously posted, the setting that "breaks" it is the "Enable Lock Screen" in the PowerAmp Lock Screen Settings.
I also tested it with different lock screens (AOSP, Stock TW Launcher Lock Screen, etc...)
This wasn't an issue on the "Rogers" (AT&T Safe) release. This just started happening since I flashed tot he new "AT&T Official" release. I've been using SKY Roms on the SkyRocket since December, and this is the first time it's had this symptom.
I too have only had the problem when setting the poweramp lockscreen not the ics lockscreen that is the only way i can change my music on lock. If i hit enable poweramp lockscreen i get a fc. I havent had the problem of music stopping when i lock my screen, then again i bought my poweramp on the offical site and thats where you can download both the app and the key. So maybe download the app from the site? Has anyone had a probelm with the playlists? I would make a playlist and have like 60 or so songs and every now and then they disappear? Sometimes it just goes to 0 songs but the playlist is still there. I export/import my playlists now to another location but i havent had the time to explore this situation.

Question regarding Synergy Rom

This would seem to fit better in the thread about the Synergy rom but as a new member I'm not allowed to post in that subsection.
Does anyone know how to set up Google Now or S voice such that when i double tap the home button it brings either of those programs up? The weird thing is that in S voice settings the double tap is set to open S Voice it actually brings up Google's Voice Dialer.
I am reporting a possible bug regarding the inability to get a GPS lock after flashing Synergy 1.6. Prior to this I had a stock phone and was unrooted. I made sure to fully wipe before flashing the rom. I just wanted to throw a " me too" in there, i'm sure the devs will iron it out.
Also, is there any plan to bring back the gradual ring increase (in a zip form) that was removed in Synergy 1.5?
Thanks,

An answer to your first question is yes, they are working on a script to launch google now instead of S voice. I believe it will be implemented in 1.7
the GPS is a known issue, they still arent able to pinpoint it but they flashed ALL stock GPS files back in 1.6 so there really should be no issue..they are still trying to pinpoint this out though because some users are still having issues (I am thankfully not one of them). Download GPS test, go outside and test it.
As for the gradual ring, i'm not sure. They listen to a lot of requests but since they get A LOT, its going to be hard to implement everything.

Might want to shoot StrumerJohn a PM, he posted he might have some steps to resolve the issue in the Synergy ROM forum here is the post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30037619&highlight=gps#post30037619
as i am new to the forums as well, i cannot post to the dev thread either.
i am using the synergy rom 1.6 on my verizon s3 as well and i was going to ask them to please include the GoogleEars.apk already installed in one of their future releases.
i wouldn't think it would be too hard to add since it's only 1 .apk file to add to the system/app location that needs to be included.
the song search widget far surpasses shazam imo.

That Google voice dialer is the only bad thing about the current synergy. It'll randomly dial anyone. Anyone know how to freeze it?

synergyrom 1.6 rooted with no root.
Wipe data factory reset, flash synergyrom 1.6. Flash imo kernel.
Installed superuser elite. Says I'm rooted but! Fails to gain root access on update. Also supersu will not install... how can I have root and not be rooted is the question/problem I am facing. Going to flash 1.7 now.. hopefully issue is resolved. Figured I would mention in case others having same problem... attempted searching for others with the same problem and was unlucky with results..hopefully I'm not a broken record. Thanks taddmmd.

Synergy 1.7 adds in the ability to choose your double-tap app. You have to make sure to clear app defaults in S-Voice before doing this, though.

Synergy 1.7 has a messaging bug. Flash the zip eschelon provided and you should be good to go.

The responses to GPS problems on that board consist mainly of "re-flash". Have you tried that?

Also, just to be safe check MD5 as well. I've had some strange behavior related to a ROM that didn't download correctly but installed anyway. A fresh download and reflash fixed everything.

[Q] Nexus 5 incoming call screen gets me stuck

earched Google all over and couldn't find a solution for this. When I get an incoming call on my nexus 5, half of the screen goes black, and the main buttons disappear, and I can't do anything with the status bar. Basically, I can't do anything besides answer, hang up or text. Only after I answer the functionality returns. It's really annoying when I'm in the middle of something and than someone calls and I can't just ignore it, I have to wait until the caller hangs up (and then usually he will call again). The half black screen also bothers me but it's not the real problem, I just guess it's part of the bug. I tried using 3rd party apps for incoming calls but they don't solve this problem. This is how it looks like (I can't post a picture so copy the link):

I'm surprised I didn't find a solution because it's a very annoying problem and I don't think it only happens to me. I'll be glad if you know how to fix this. Thanks

That's exactly how its meant to be. If you flash a ROM like omni you can get a less intrusive dialer that looks something like this:

If you've never installed a ROM before there are loads of tutorials to get you started, just don't take any shortcuts (like toolkits!)

most custom roms get updated even before an ota is out. once google drops source into aosp, that day or next, most custom roms update. sometimes this happens a week before otas go out, sometimes its about the same time.

have u tried one of the full screen caller id apps ?
I tried this one on my Moto G with Android 4.3.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tw.nicky.HDCallerID
see if it works for your phone.
same problem here, thanks god i'm not alone! I simply don't get why on incoming calls i cant hit the home button and go back on my stuff!!! annoying. hope in a solution, had tried many apps but didn't find the right one
I have the same problem in the last month I had this issue 5 or 6 times until now...any idea besides installing a custom ROM?
Similar problem here.
I have a similar problem. No black screen but I can't do anything and the nav bar disappears. N5 with 4.4.4 stock, Franco Kernel, root, xposed Framework. I found out that other phones have the same problem and in a moto x thread I found a thread that perfectly matches my problem.
I think it's an android bug.. like a file system or something.. not related to any customization.

Yea. This is my first time playing with 4.4. And first time with an HTC unrooted. Is it common to have call history/last call above the dialer like that and how do you get rid of it without rooting or using a different dialer? Trying to stay as close to stock as possible. For now...

No go if your not s-off as you have to replace the contactsdailer.apk with a nodded on that just let's you switch back to the classic HTC dialer like in my pic.
Oh well. Thanks anyways!
