Okay I've been viewing and using the forums for a while, but never had a reason to join until now. I've had my HTC one X for over a month and in that time frame I've managed to accidentally call 911 over 8 times (all inside my jean pocket, even 3 times in 1 day). Is there any mod to disable emergency call or remove the emergency contact of 911 from the list when its locked and the button is pushed inside my pocket? I've searched everywhere and can't find a fix. I've even edited my build.prop to read "ro.ril.oem.ecclist=123" instead of "=911". I know there has to be a way to fix this issue but I haven't been able to find it.
I was going to post in the development section but because I just joined I'm unable to post in that thread.
FYI: I"m rooted, unlocked bootloader, CWM, and running CleanRom 3.0.
Please somebody!
Anyone? I really need help on this one, I'm afraid of getting into some serious trouble if I can't fix this issue. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Ohh I get it, you use a security lock.
Do not use a security lock?
With the standard lock screen(security lock set to none) there is no emergency dial button.
Other thought though is to buy a flip cover so when the phone is in your pocket the entire screen will be blocked by the cover?
You can buy them online for just a few dollars.
How do you do this? Even with the emergency dial button, it asks you to input the number.

Those are both good suggestions, but I'm kind of a security nut, and I'd hate to cover up this gorgeous phone. I took my case back because I hated covering it up, but maybe I can find something nice on Amazon. Thank you for the reply.

There's my issue, it brings you to a dialpad but it also has 911 as an emergency contact at the top of the screen. Even if my pocket dials an insane string of numbers, if it ever touches that top contact or I touch it as I'm pulling it out because it's vibrating and I'm at work, it automatically dials 911. I just thought there was a way to remove that contact.
Just to be complete, also consider a pouch. That way you can just slide it in and out as required. Better suited to car mounts and keeping the phone slim
You have to compromise somewhere...Either keep dialing 911 and eventually get your number blacklisted by them or get in trouble OR stop using the security lock screen. Simple as that, seeing that you don't want to cover the screen with anything.

You've overlooked option #3: Learn how to develop for android, and make my own mod to solve my issue. Anything is possible and I think it's my only option left, If anyone knows any of the specific files, folders, or APK's that may be in question please let me know. Other than that I'm off on a wild goose chase that I hope I'm able win. Wish me luck!

Screen towards my thigh, maybe my jeans are too tight. lol
Well my update for the night (if anyone is interested) is I browsed through the .apk's in cleanrom 3.0 and unzipped 5 of them that had relevant names: DialerLauncher, HTCDialer+, Idlescreenbase, Phone, and Phonesky. Opened up the .dex files in those with notepad just to take a peek at what's readable. found a lot of interesting things in Phone and Dialers. Just went into adb and dexdumped those to read through them all without all the formatting issues in notepad. I'm so new to all this that I have no idea if I'm on the right path or not, but it seems like solid progress to me. Gotta hit the hay though it's 2am, I'll try more tomorrow. Take care everyone and feel free to leave me any suggestions (or encouragement at this point)!
Warning!
I don't recommend dexdumping phone or phonesky! I sure hope my answer isn't in there it's MASSSIVE! Also thank you Corythug for the encouragement lol

Anyone know how to get Craigsnotifica ? It was the best craigslist notification app on the market and it's gone. I just wiped my phone and flashed a new rom and on purpose didn't do a backup (wanted to start from scratch) but didn't expect this app to just not be on the market anymore.
Any ideas?

I also could really use a copy of this, as I'm in the same boat.
Once I receive it, I will share it across 2 Dropbox Accounts, Google Drive, and a Minus account.
That's four mirrors for the price of NONE!
A PM or a reply, either or.
Thanks in advance.
I discovered a funny little trick, which is the reason I've been able to keep the app: I use the market app Appbak to create a text-file backup of all my installed apps. When I go to reinstall my apps, the app uses that list to go to each app in the market, and if Craigsnotifica is on the list, it WILL show up in the market!
Of course we should all keep a copy of the apk on our sdcards/computer.
Here is the apk: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18474790/com.mufumbo.craigslist.notification.android-1.apk
has anyone noticed that in the past week the app stops displaying the content of posts? it shows the title and the footer, but the main content is missing. I sure wish someone could pickup the dev of this app, as it is, as somoene else posted, the best CL app out there.
thanks.

Yeah, i noticed that too. Not sure why, maybe something changed on CL and the app hasn't been updated in so long.
I don't know if any of you will like this one, but i've been using cPRO craigslist client droid from the market. it does notifications, but they seem to use a lot of battery. But It works pretty well for me searching and browsing.

Thanks alot. I love this app...been using it for couple of years now. The latest version doesnt show the body of ad. I wish it worked though!
Its hard to understand why the developer took this app off the market...did he stop developing it?
If so, someone should carry on the button!!!

I changed the settings and got it to show the body/text along with the pictures etc to show on each ad. Prior to that I would have to click on the peace/craigslist symbol to see the whole add and not just the pics and location.
Once I opened the app and got into the menu I seleced Preferences/Storage/Cache Ads Data (checked the box) and all new post and searches now work like it used too showing the text etc and are also available off line to review later. I am using version 3.28
I am still using it on my G2x until it just flat out does not work anymore. All the other apps I've found just don't compare and all seem like carbon copies of each other.
Now I just need to figure out how to remove the ads since I can't purchase the full app.
Very sad. I tried this and the results came up empty for everything. Every other Craigslist app is crap in comparison to this apps simplicity.
Anyone try this other app in the market yet? It seems really simple, yet has all the features like notifications and posting even. I haven't put it thru it's paces yet tho...
Search for claspics in the market..
Has anyone been able to get the smart dialer from the Nexus 5 working on the Moto X? I have a Nexus 5 and and the smart search feature in the dialer was actually really nice to use. For those who don't realize what I am talking about- this is the feature in the dialer where you can search "AutoZone" within the dialer and it will pull up the 3 listings closest to you. Also when you call local businesses it displays their name and picture instead of just the phone number.
I'm trying to decide between the Moto X or the N5 and it is such a hard decision every little thing is factoring in. Thanks!
Edit:
Some people later in the thread have had success with this dialer apk in the download link below:

Let me tell you from my own experience. I bought a nexus 5 moments after launch. Upon receiving it, I liked it but its really barley different from the nexus 4 (which I was coming from) other than kit Kat. Fast forward 3 weeks, I sold my nexus and bought a moto x. I'm much happier with this device. Its way more innovative than the nexus 5. Touchless control and active display are amazing. As far as hardware I notice no difference. The display is just as good but in a different way. And the camera may not be better but takes good pictures. Overall I'm 100% happy with my decision and will never look back.

Thanks for weighing in there. I actually think the Nexus 5 is an amazing phone. Each phone has pros and cons. The Smart Dialer being a pro of the Nexus 5 since I was actually using the feature. So back to my original question, anyone? anyone?
I'm guessing it is more than just installing the N5 dialer apk otherwise it would be readily available for install.

Feels more like you are searching for someone in your contact list vs. googling the number. Time wise it is probably the same if you are quick with google now. It is nice having the functionality in the dialer app vs switching over to google now if I am already in the dialer. The caller id feature is what I really like about it though. Say yesterday I called Autozone and then I need to call them again today, I can completely skip over opening google now and repeating the search process, just go straight to my history, see the name and location of the Autozone (especially helpful I I had called multiple locations) I called and click to call, no searching, no trying to remember what time of day I called them yesterday, what number it was, etc.

With the new dialer it would be labeled in the history as AutoZone + location info, with the stock dialer all you see is the number, so if you have called many numbers that are not in your contacts then good luck remember which number was AutoZone in your history.
Anyhow I switched back to my Nexus 5 anyway as I decided I liked it better than the Moto X, so for me this thread is now a moot point.

Does anyone how to disable the alt+backspace "shortcut" that deletes the current line?
I really hate it, and searching around the internets there have been complaints about it since the first Android phone!
I've tried remapping del with a custom keymap, but no luck.
Does any developer out there has a clue where this is in the source? I don't mind commenting out the feature and recompiling my own rom, but I haven't been able to find where it is myself.

I have no idea how to assist with this, but I do find that function very annoying myself! I can't tell you the amount of times I've had it delete lines of texts before I even noticed it. If you figure this out, I'd love to test it out.
count me in too. i would not miss this function at all. if i want to delete a block of text, i know how to use shift + arrow keys.
at the very least, is there an UNDO function anywhere for when you do accidentally delete lines of text because of this stupid design flaw?

Haven't been able to find any undo or workaround. And google probably doesn't care because no-one there knows what an android phone with a keyboard is --- all the ones they got are in historical glass cases :|
Hi everyone,
On the french google store, the folio keyboard is not available any more.
Is it definitive ? The "button" saying unavailable is grey. Do you see it available in your country ?
I tried to ask the google support and they told me "well it's recent so check everyday, it should come back"... not very helpful.
Do you know if I can find it somewhere else ?
Anyone of you want to get rid of his ?
Thanks!

Oh yeah I love the normal keyboard no regrets buying it. As you said, the magnet is awesome how you can angle the screen anywhere you want, works everywhere
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
While it's nice that you can have any angle you want on the non-folio version, I just find it to be inconvenient to use as an actual case. The way that you have to attach and detach it just isn't very conducive to using it that way. If you never really want to use it to cover the screen, I guess it's fine though.
I wouldn't mind picking up the folio version either but alas, it's not in stock on the US site either.
And just when I made up my mind about getting the folio keyboard it goes out of stock in the US :c
Is the keyboard still available in other countries for you guys? (I think Canada might still have it, possibly?)
Still out of stock...bummer
