[Q] Seidio Obex questions

Hello everyone, just got my case two days ago. I love it. Except the soft back and menu keys do not work sometimes, however the screen always works, and sometimes the keys will work flawlessly then I don't touch anything and they stop working.
My question:
Is this a defective case or is this somewhat normal?

I never had issues with mine. Turn high touch sensitivity setting in your display setting did you already don't have it on.

That didn't make a difference for the buttons or the screen. Screen functions just fine, but like i said, i could be using the device, and the buttons work. then look away from my phone and press the menu button and boom no worky. lol. Called Seidio and they said somethings not right and are sending a replacement. Yay. I do love this case though except for that. Oh the weirdest part is, the back key will work sometimes but the menu key won't work at all. ha.

Are there any places on that case stucking on home, power buttons ? take it off and check again.

I'm not sure I completely understand, but nothing being pressed. It's very random the way it works and then doesn't. Hopefully this new one fixes it.

Like no joke, while typing that last reply, they were working, after replying I hit the back button and it worked. Then I went to hit the menu button and nothing. Lol. Very strange.

No. Not with the device in the case. I did the water test then dried it completely and no water got inside. I got the new one and it seems to be much better. haven't had any major issues like before.

Another weird issue. Proximity sensor cannot see through the plastic covering.. did I seriously get 2 defective cases in a row?

Configure and test the second screen - NO ROOT REQUIRED

First you'll need to install QuickShortcutMaker or other similar apps to enable making custom shortcuts. Then search "signboardtest", run it you'll see a page as shown in attached screenshot.
Here you can perform bunch of testings on the second screen, including posting various kinds of notifications (warning: do not test ProgressBar as notification type ?)
What's more important is you can modify the notification size and how long it sticks. Those are what I've found so far, hopefully we can dig something useful here and find a way to modify it the ways we want.

Great find ! Thanks for sharing!

Search signboardtest under settings in the shortcut maker? I don't see it listed separately.

this is how I got it

Did you happen to install anything else? I've searched for this (as I'm having an issue with my 2nd screen at the moment) and I don't have signboardtest as an option, even searched for signboardtest with Root Explorer.

Just looked in T-Mobile version. However I do not see it listed.
Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk

Confirmed I found signboardtest as well using quick shortcut maker. On a Verizon v10

You can change all of that, but it doesn't actually stick.. Tried all them last week. Change the notification to 7 secs and then exit out, then test a real notification(not from sign test app) and count the seconds it stays on second screen, it will still be 3 secs..

Not on Tmo, I pulled it from the hk version.

Tmo doesn't have that, but there is a lgsignboard.apk and lots of other signboard files.
I don't know enough to dig into it but the option is in here somewhere

It's sticks for me. Finally makes notifications on second screen useful. Thanks, op.

So you're telling me that the notification stays legible for a full 7 secs? I just did it again and still goes off after 3. It may say 7 secs, but it's not actually staying on for that long, screen on or off.

Is there a way to push Tasker variables to the second screen?

Awesome!
This is Fantastic. Worked for me! VS 990.
Don't know how many times I went to click on a Text notification and right as i clicked it the notification disappeared and I opened one of my 'Quick Apps' ... sent a text to myself to verify that the notification displayed for 6 seconds...
WINNING!
Thank you!
... Also you can find this shortcut with the 'AnyCut' app.

Tried it with the stock messaging app and it did stay on longer, but haven't found any other notifications that stay on for the full duration.

I ported it from the hong kong version. It is it's own apk with odex and libs. It doesn't come on the Tmo version. It wasn't working for me before, but after a reboot the notification time stays to whatever I set it in now. I thought I was going to have to mod the app for it to work, but it is fine now.

This app is such a lifesaver.. I can now read my messages on the second screen and open them from there directly.. Amazing

Hi, does anyone know an app or hack for this?
Picture attached is of an S7.
Cheers.

Nevermind, it seems MIUI doesn't include Daydream which is required like many others do.
Maybe it can be added? I have root & Xposed but no idea yet on how to achieve it.
Let me Google that...

Hey mate, I installed this & the plug in, gave it overdraw permissions as requested but when I go into settings the app tries to show a preview but all I get is a black screen, I've tried upping the opacity & other settings but to no avail? Does it show on yours?

Have you still got it installed? If so is it listed under Accessibility/Services? Mine isn't.
Might try a re-install..

Uninstalled it, I'll try it again later and see. It definitely worked as I changed some options for the clock layout and seen they changed on screen.

Yep thankyou champ, works perfectly.
Obviously AMOLED is not a requirement for this to work.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Hello, sorry for delay, I have installed a app which name is Awake!! from Pablo Criado in playstore, but battery is spent right away. Luck for you!

Would LOVE to see this mod become available!

A mod for our fingerprint sensor that allows us to swipe down/up to access drop down notification window; similar to pixel devices.. I wouldn't know how to do this; is this something possible with the Razer phone's sensor?

[SOLVED] 'jelly-lag' scrolling effect

Just received my OP6 8/256 and what do I notice!? yep, the 'jelly-lag' scrolling effect!!!!!!!!!!
Didn't they solve this with OP5t?
Has anyone same issue?
I just contact OnePlus and I'll send the screen record I made so they can analyse it

Never heard of that before now, but looking at some videos of the effect in action I can say I definitely haven't come across it yet: https://goo.gl/photos/T79KbQjpZZ5cychR9
Does this occur in all apps?

Not in all apps.
But when scrolling up and down in SETTINGS or DEVELOPER OTIONS it does

That seems very different to the 'jelly' effect in the video I posted earlier.
I use the dark theme so can't see any shadow normally, but even changing to the light theme didn't show any issues either.
Sorry, not much help. Hopefully you can sort it soon.

Yes maybe it's "shadow effect", and not as I mentioned jelly effect.
But still, is this normal?"

it's just a animation, when you are in the end, drag and hold to top your finger to see it

If you're referring to the "arch" shadow that appears when you scroll all the way down or up, it not jelly scrolling. It's been like that by design. I think even my 1+3 &1+3T had it.

I did some deeper digging on to the "issue" and I guess you mean that the text will seem to rip apart and refresh at a different rate on some parts of the screen led's, therefore showing as it's kinda stretching when you scroll fast? Yeah, that is there, but I don't see that as an issue. I really, really had to stare at big black letters on white to see the effect. But I really don't see it as an issue, at least it isn't a deal breaking one. The phone flies and mine's got 256 GB of storage. So you were right, but c'mon.

I think that this is the "jelly effect". The screen is Oneplus 3, shot on my Oneplus 6 (480 fps).
