[REQ/IDEA] Secure Lockscreen

Hey guys, i got an idea for an interested dev. I dont have a android phone yet, but I've been lurkin around here for a while and have learned a lot from all you guys.
Now, i for one know people who go through others phones. Needless to say, it is annoying. I have an idea to con these guys out of there snooping.
Its a lock screen app that implicates both that we know already, the standard bar swiping one

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and the combo one
I was thinking maybe we could get an app that let you swipe the bar, like if it was going to open it, but then act like if nothing happened. To actually unlock it, you would put the combo in invisibly, either by swiping through specific sectors, as if the screen were a grid.
This is my idea to you devs for a safer phone.

I like this idea. Would be a good April fools trick too.

hahaaha, i know right. just hope a dev is willing to do it.

Can't imagine it would be that hard since both items are already built.

Hmm well on cyanogenmod you can just hide the "dots" on the Pattern-lock. I use it currently. My current background is black, so that's why it's all black. It's just an extra security measure. Anyone without an android phone wouldn't really know what to do considering it doesn't even show the "Incorrect pattern" message (which you can turn on or off).
Note that this is the normal pattern lock with just everything hidden (except for the cyanogenmod message at the top, which can be turned off/changed to something else.) There's no slide-unlock then pattern-unlock, just pattern-unlock.

You need to open ur phone and clean it by a clorh!
But do it only if u have hardware skills!
Proceed with CAUTION.

dude the same thing happened to me
gave it to the service centre 3 times and they cleaned it,sealed some something,..
but it has never recovered , the remains dust free for about 1-2 weeks after they clean it at the service centre and then the dust reappears
so i have stopped using the camera, also i dont require camera at all,as i have it on my other devices
well i did not have any black spots, for me everthing was hazy and foggy

Thank you for helping. Yesterday I asked to service centre how much they want. It was about 8-9 dollars. So tomorrow it will be fixed. Again, thank you

I've been through the same. Two times the service center just cleaned the lens and gave it back. The dust used to collect again in two weeks. Then I specifically told them to replace the part (most of the back body you see after you remove the back cover). Now, seems to be fine. I think certain units have a manufacturing defect.

One X has full touch gesture area below display

Not sure if people have noticed this and I couldnt find anything on search related to this but,
the area below the display on the one x(mine's att) is full touch enabled and gesture capable(?)
I noticed this when I was swiping through the home screens and my thumb went below the display but it maintained full response to the touch. Then while swiping i went completely below the display and was swiping with my finger well below the display, basically having no direct contact to the screen and swiping back and fourth above where the capacitive buttons are. It also does this in other apps like maps, browser, etc, where ever touch gestures are made.
Im guessing maybe there are developer api's to this area of the screen, so it can be used as an additional way to interact with the phone, ala bb playbook.

Don't think there are any APIs out there. I think I saw this somewhere else on the thread and they were saying that you'd need a custom kernel to use it?? But yeah they have it there because it's cheaper to share the digitiser for the capacitive buttons. I know there was a ROM for ICS that let you swipe the bottom to unlock.....

Yeah, some of us knew this. Cm9 used it to put an invisible menu button to the right of the recent app button. I didn't much care for the option, but it still was cool.

Yep, I know this as well.
There is something called "Sweep2Wake" which when you swipe across the capacitive buttons, it wakes/puts the device to sleep. Pretty nifty if we can get that implemented via kernel.

Yea MIUI v4 did the menu key next to the recent apps key thing. I realized this 4 hours after flashing the ROM lmao

Issues on my brand new one s

Hi everyone! I got my new one s just yesterday and I've been noticing some issues.
First of all a huge problem with Wi-Fi: death grip! I had a desire s before, it also has the same issue but the difference was that it didn't loose the whole signal, just had it dropped a lot. My one s disconnects from Wi-Fi if I hold it landscape.
The other issue is with the screen. With low brightness I can see vertical stripes slightly darker than other parts of the screen. It seems to happen with grey images too.
There is also another issue, with headphones. No matter which ones (tried with monster and soundmagic). Listening to music and turning off or on the screen, I hear the audio crackling for a couple of seconds.
Software version is 1.78.161.2. It's Vodafone brand (Italy) with no more ota updates available.

The WiFi antenna is in the top part of the phone, I don't remember which corner. So when you put your hand over it our blocking the antenna. Just hold it differently.
As for the other problems, I must have a perfect device because nothing is wrong with it. T-Mobile branded.

For me the WiFi issues were solved with the 2.31 update but seeing as you're carrier locked that update might not come, as poster above says, I'venever had such audio problems so its probably a hardware defect covered under warranty. Request a replacement I think. Just make sure they give you the same chipset as what your device has now!

I have same problem with lcd panel like you, vertical and few horizontal stripes on low brightness. Pls everyone who read this thread, try download Bad pixel test and set brightness to the lowest position and try gray background in this app.

Help - crazy screen

Today there was a very strange business in my cell, follows a print screen, it looks like a tv with no signal, there are times that he calls normal, and most often is as pictured, someone any idea what can be?

Send it back through RMA.

I suggest flashing full factory images prior to RMA to see if it will solve your problems.

already did and did not work, what do not understand is that sometimes it is normal is more pressing the power button is well again :crying:
NOTE: I imported my phone, do not know if the warranty work in Brazil!

So this is the same if you try and boot into fastboot? If so, the phone is screwed so you'd need to get in touch with the importer as they should be covering the warranty

Someone else had this issue a few days ago and they said they replaced the screen and the screen still remained fuzzy. I honestly believe it's a bad ribbon connector unopposed to a loose one. I asked the person to make sure its on there tight and they said it was.
I'd like to know what the issue is so if I run into the problem I know exactly what to do but changing the screen is a waste of time. Numerous users changed the screen and the problem remained. This issue is all over the internet and it isn't just a Nexus 5 issue. I've seen Droid DNA's, Evo's etc.
