I'm curious if there is a way to minimize how often tasker checks sensors for changes? for instance, I have a task set to silence notifications while face down, but it's not a time critical task for me. I wouldn't mind if it only checked every minute or so. thanks!

There is a setting for sensors in preferences.

Has any ever tried to edit a comment on the facebook app? No matter what ROM I'm running it just won't allow it. I have to do it from the browser.

Long-press on the comment. There is no visual, audible, or haptic feedback but it will open a context menu letting you delete or edit it.

That it is definitely not. Any errors will be due to the Facebook app.
It doesn't happen all the time but yeah in Facebook when I focus a comment field sometimes the keyboard appears and then immediately disappears. Another major gripe I have with Facebook on this phone is that the graphic assets seem to be made for a lower res than this phone and so aren't as crisp as they should be. Especially the app icon in GEL. [/OT]
wake lock on Facebook is not good.

Yea the Facebook app is awful. I think they'd be better off just asking someone on xda to develop it for them

FB app is a hog. I've had to tweak it to disable a couple of the services and also the startups so it doesn't kill battery. So far it does pretty good. I use Xposed and use BootManager to have it not load on startup, as well as ReceiverStop and kill a couple Receivers (appwidget_update and connectivity_change) so it just kills background stuff, not the actual app functions.

My facebook app doesnt drain at all weirdly, I set it to refresh every hour, notifications and messages always on, and sync turned off. Often appearing as the last or second last app on my battery stats at the end of the say with about 3% total usage, and yes I do use it, alot!

Is there any way to disable the pedometer? I would not use this feature and am thinking it will save battery if it is disabled.

You can start/pause it. As long as it's paused it's not going to keep track of steps. Also noticed that having minimum background running apps will increase life by a lot. It was like draining last night and closed all apps and now lasting 2x longer haha Maybe that was just me.

Thanks. How do I set a minimum number of background apps?

I think he was. I was referring to the gear(long press/2 fingers on the watch). That's what I thought you meant, in order to save battery on the watch, don't have a lot of things running in the background(on the watch).

Hey guys sorry, Yeah referring to apps running on gear not phone. You can long press it or set up the double click to open recent apps to close.
This is more of a proof of concept that might be useful to lock the screen.
Does not require root.
HTC's framework detects gestures while the screen is on, this is actually broadcasted to all applications, but the only app that reacts to it is HTC's Media Output (Three finger swipe up or left-right).
This app is both an implementation that reacts to a three finger click to lock the screen, and a dev concept that shows how to react to the gestures.
If you want to use this to lock the phone, just tap with three fingers anywhere after enabling device admin.

More dev stuff:
If anyone is interested where this happens, it's in services.odex's com.htc.server.gesture package.
This is one of the best hacks I've used for the m8 so far ... Very simple yet tasty ?
Thanks..and keep up the good work

Agreed just installed and is working perfectly! A brilliantly simple way of locking the phone!

Amazing! Although I would prefer that it only make the screen turn off the phone and go to sleep rather than just lock it. This will open up a lot of interesting development work though, I'm sure!

Thank you so much. This is an awesome feature add. The Media gesture is something that I have no use for and didn't want to change my kernel in order for this to work. I'm seeing how long I can go without rooting my phone. This will definitely prolong my challenge. ?

Look, I respect that you are a Dev and have done good work. But what I said is not BS. I have been having bad batt drain for a few weeks. Couldn't figure it out. I uninstalled this and poof, no more batt drain. So how is that BS?

For some reason I can't get this to work for me. I have 3 finger media gesture enabled. Is there anything else I'm supposed to do???

The app is simply a listener, it does not enable anything, in fact, if a three finger gesture is not detected by the system, as far as the system is concerned, the app does not exist (it does not take CPU cycles, or memory, or any resources besides storage for the APK).
Therefore, it's technically impossible for it to cause any battery drain. I have no idea what happened on your phone, but it's likely a coincidence.
With that said, my reply was a bit rude, so apologies for that.

You'll need to enable the app as a Device Policy Manager. You have to open the app once for Android to confirm it wasn't maliciously installed.

Not actually a bug, it's a security feature of Android itself.

That 'bug' is listed in the app description. You should learn to read those.

Maybe YOU should learn to read. It's listed under FAQ not under bugs. This issue affects all screen filter apps not just this one. Therefore it's not a 'bug' of the app itself but and 'issue' that is present on all screen filtering apps in general. Idiot.
