Hey guys new to the site, and before I get started, I know I know there's such thing as a search button. I used it and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. So, the other night I tripped and got my Razr a little wet. It didn't get fully submerged but it did get a significant amount of water on it. I immediately turned it off and pulled my SIM and SD out. I dried those off and put the phone in a bag of rice for 2 full days. I took it out and put it on the charger and it charged right up. I then turned it on and it was acting a bit sketchy, the touchscreen wasn't working and the soft buttons weren't working and it kept restarting itself. I turned it off and let it charge fully. I turned it on and it was still all messed up. I put it in recovery mode and it didn't work so I factory reset it. It's bearable now but the touchscreen is a little iffy.
The main point is, are there any workarounds to where I can either have no unlock screen, or have my home, back, search and settings buttons on the home/lock screen, or does anyone know how to fix the soft buttons.
Thanks for bearing with me through this post.

I think the best path would be to use, on-screen controls if you are on stock rom, install pie launcher from play store,
else install paranoid android rom, or install Xposed module - Gravity Box.

I don't see anything called pie launcher in the Play Store. What's paranoid/xposed module - gravity box?

In xposed, select download and there you Will see gravity box, else will give you link later, am not on computer

Also if you need more customization, search for lmt launcher on xda, it has got pie along with many more customization ( the idea of pie launcher came from this app)

Whenever I push my power button to pop up my Lock Screen, it usually takes about 1-2 seconds to react. (same with the home button actually - not so fast as the one on the iphone)
I removed the water effect and I also changed the unlocking mechanism to something else but nothing really helps. Still 1-2 seconds before my screen wakes up.
Is there any way to improve this wake up time? My Google Nexus One was faster, my brothers HTC sensation wakes up faster and my friends Galaxy Nexus and HTC one S wake up faster.
I want my Galaxy S3 to wake up faster aswell! Any tricks, tips?
The phone needs to wake up the modem first. It's a design flaw that can be found at least in the Galaxy S and S2, too. I'm not sure if there's a fix
I think this problem existed in earlier Galaxies as well.
All you have to do is to download Softlocker from the market

Do you use the stock launcher?
T.
you have to disable s-voice's double press of home button.
unlock your phone and launch s-voice.
press the left soft key (menu), settings will popup.
below the language untick the "launch s-voice".
that's it.

Unfortunately this is not work for everybody.
Still there is a delay on my phone, this is not rom nor s-voice related, I think this is samsung thing, I hope they give an attention to this wake up delay...

Someone have found any solution?
no, thats the way deep sleep works
hi guys,
im finding this slightly annoying .... made worse by the fact that the previous rom i was running had a fast wake mod, so this makes my current one seem even slower
try blackbox rom 1.3.1 from darksideagent site, and make sure to select fast wake mod in aroma
cheers

as mentioned by @marcel_miller above, softlocker simply disabled deep sleep and now it's just instant lock and unlock.
thanks. for some reason I couldn't find it on market
As above, is there any way to do this?
An xposed setting maybe?
Edit Solved... Gravity Box setting under Display Tweaks / Unplug turns on screen
I KNOW that i saw an option to do this in a Sony app. It was either in the STAMINA settings or the Smart Connect app. I remember seeing it and thought "Hmm... nah, i don't want to disable that".

Yeah I thought Id seem it somewhere without using exposed, but I'm buggered if I could find it today. In the end I just concluded it must have been in a custom rom I'd flashed to try out.
Yeah, i searched for it now, but i give up. I bet it'll show up when i least expect it, like in a year or something

I installed GravityBox but I don't know now whether to keep Xblast Tools or not... after all, they both do almost the same things...
Also, it does work with stock rom, but Pie Controls (I love them, but the play store ones are fugly) just work when both status and nav bar are showing... tried all possible combinations but nothing..
Anyway, I thought for a second to discard the led when charging but then again 4 out 5 times I plug it in the full dark and the led is the only thing telling me it's charging...

After playing with gravity box I uninstalled Xblast and the advanced power menu modules.
Is there something in Xblast that is missing from GravityBox... Im not a huge fan of Pie control. However I have set it to pie control when in expanded desktop mode and it works just fine, but not from the bottom border, I had to set it from the top border :good:
Edit, I set the trigger area to 15 and its working just fine from the bottom borner now
I tried it too and it was working... until I decided to change the transparency of the status bar to 100%...
Then, SystemUI stopped every 2 seconds, so I deselected the module and restarted, cleared cache and data or Gravitybox, reselected it, restarted.
SystemUI stopped like crazy again.
And then (who knows why) I pressed (I'd say involuntarily, but that was not the case) the "expanded desktop" button thinking that maybe the mess had to do only with the status bar.
Needless to say that it hadn't.
At that time SOD like crazy, I mean I turned on/off like 15 times to make it work again.
Eventually the screen (with SystemUI error) came up, I deselected and uninstalled the Gravitybox module and made a reservation with my tattooist for a tattoo on my forearm that says: "If it's supposed to work on AOSP ROMs ONLY, and you have a [email protected]£&ING stock ROM, DON'T INSTALL IT!".
Seen that I crapped in my pants tonight too, I'd say it's time to go to bed. (And unlocking the bootloader comes closer and closer...).

Its working for me now, so I'll run with it, without changing any transparency settings lol
I had the system UI thing with Gravity Box a few weeks ago before I had unlocked the bootloader and I crapped myself as well..
Happier these days with my bootloader unlocked and regular nandroid backups.
Hey guys.
Just found this free app on the market. It's mostly for the ppl who are using custom roms that lost the ability to use Auto-on/off when you use a flip cover. This app is able to turn off/on the screen with light and/or proximity sensor. So whenever you close the lid, the light is gone, tablet notices and locks. Hope this works for you.

The app works though it leaves an annoying notification item in the tray. Is there a way to get the magnetic function function back? Would that be something cyanogenmod does or we would have to hax back?
Go to "System settings > Apps > Downloaded > IntelliCover 2.0 and then untick "Show notifications", no more notification icon. Hidden thru Android.
- Well, my Nexus 7 2012 had cover on/off built into the CM and AOKP's.. So I reckon once the devs find a way to do it, it will be implemented. As I have said before, I think that more ppl getting the GPE will help a lot on AOSP builds.. More devs, more source code from LG and so on.. I hope more people will pick up one or the other edition of the tablet over the Holidays. Basically, if the devs could do "teh hax", they would have by now I guess. ^^ I'm sure it will come at some point. I'm not very good at that stuff, so I wouldn't even know where to start, sadly. But it will be doable, I'm sure.
Okay lol, I can't use this in dark rooms and gets over sensitive in other cases but for now it will work fine. Thanks!

Lol, damn. I was wondering if it would mistake darkness for pitch black. :/ Well as you said, better than nothing I guess?
Works fine for me too except in very dark room. In this case, I just have to knock on the screen to wake up and it stay awake but it misss a light calibration.
Moreover, In the app, you can switch off Wifi at the same time the screen is off (and Wifi switch on when screen is on, off course) . It's very useful and battery saver I guess..

There is a calibration process for light senser but I I don't it. It says "put your device in your bag/pocket/cover and press the calibrate button above"
Hey dude, if my device is in my pocket or in its cover, I CAN'T press any button.
I tried to press the calibration button before close the cover but now it doesn't work anymore !
I've been searching XDA and Google up the wazoo looking for a way to do this... coming up blank, except for threads on other phones.... if it is there and I missed it please someone point me in the right direction! I'm looking for a way to allow my volume rocker to wake up the screen so that I can take a bit of the stress off the power button. Even better would be a way to wake the screen with a swype on the screen or on the softkeys, but I've been drawing a blank there too. I would like to accomplish this without having to go to a different rom (like CM), I like CM but on the LG I really like to keep some of the features that come on the stock rom (i.e. Qslide, quickmemo, lockscreen style)... so if this could be done maybe with a flashable zip, or a mod on a script or something that would be awesome.
Additionally I am wondering if there is a way to increase/decrease volume from the lockscreen. I know I can toggle between silent/vibrate/ring.... but if for example I select ring and the volume is low, I have no way to increase it without having to unlock the phone.
Already tried:
-numerous apps that are supposed to allow to wake the phone in customizable ways (none have worked)
-Lockscreen apps to allow volume rocker wake (even though I really just want to keep my stock lockscreen)
-modified a file called keypad_8064.kl to add WAKE after the volume up/down
Thanks!
p.s. sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, I've honestly been searching for two days with no luck
p.s. #2 if someone has any ideas or mods for the issue about the LED Notification frequency being so slow I would greatly appreciate it too. I did find threads about it but none of the solutions worked for me. Tried different apps with no success too
ps.#3 I'm using SnowJB on 4.1.2
Try Exposed + Gravity box. I know it says AOSP Roms but I use it on ATT Stock JB and most functions work. Haven't tried Volume wake though.

Thanks.... nice tool, although it doesn't have a volume wake option though. All it has is the option to disable volume wake (meaning if your phone already does it), but not to enable it. It did allow me to do something else I had been struggling with, but still at a loss about the volume wake thing.
I have the apk, not sure where I found it but it works great on the Optimus G.
An apk would be awesome.... Care to share it?

wow... that was great. I can confirm the apk works just fine to allow volume rocker screen wake on my e970. Haven't monitored if it affects battery but at least so far it's working great. It does require Super User rights in case anyone else wants to try it.
Thank you!
BTW, on the issue of being able to control volume without waking the screen I installed this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.firestorm.vc&hl=es
It sets the app in the notification tray (not the status bar) so that you can control volume levels from the notification area.... since you CAN drop down this while the screen is locked it pretty much does what I was looking for. I should also point out that if other notifications come in on the phone, this one moves down the list, giving room for the new ones, so it doesn't impact new notifications on your phone.
Has anybody found out yet how to use the shoulder buttons? There is no settings option like for the led strip.
Did Nubia forget to include it in the Android 9 version?
For future reference: Enter game mode, pull down the quick settings bars. There is a new button to activate and map the shoulder buttons
I just did the switch from China to global and I'm trying to figure out where the trigger buttond are its different the China rom
Can't post a link. Go to YouTube and watch?v=vIrtHkrFC6c&t=699
I seen it in a video before but the global rom I'm on don't have it in the pull down when in game mode waiting for update
I wish I could disable them. When watching youtube if I touch them the screen controls come up making it difficult to hold the phone for youtube.
Yeah dog, you have to turn the Gameboost button on, then the option for mapping the shoulder buttons appears

Shoulder Button Issues
Hi my name is Scott, I just got my Mars today and I can't not find this drop down menu to map the Shoulder buttons. I've went in the device settings, game mode, pretty much anywhere I could think to look. I guess it's a US version, 8gb 126gig . Anyways any kind of help would be nice. I'm looking forward to any advice! Thanks

Once you enter into game mode by flipping the red switch on the left side you open the game you would like to play. Once in the game you want to play (only in gaming mode via the switch) you pull down your notification drop-down and you'll see a D-pad icon. Hit the icon and turn the button feature on via the switch at the top of the screen. Adjust your shoulder inputs to the proper location and click the X in the top right corner when your all set. That should be it.
I also have this issue with the buttons while watching YouTube. It also changes the way scrolling works on a web page, or document. Instead of swiping and it scrolling even after my finger leaves the screen, if I'm touching either of the shoulder buttons it stops the scrolling when I stop swiping. For the people saying the solution is to turn off game mode, you can't view YouTube, web pages or emails while in game mode (if you can I haven't found a way), this is a different problem.

Even when not in game mode. Open youtube and start a video playing full screen. Touch one of the buttons. It will cause the player controls to popup. They are still active.

That's odd then because I am also on the global and I do not have that issue. I have no access to shoulder buttons outside of game mode. You may want to try a factory reset...
I completed a factory reset, updated to the newest version, and factory reset again. Problem persists, not really sure what more I can do. It's annoying, but not a deal breaker. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with the phone.
This is gonna sound sad but since I don't actually USE those buttons I just covered them with some black painters tape and I'm hoping t get fixed in and update.
I had an update.. and somehow I got extra button beside L and R, it is T .. its is for fingerprint scanner... but i just got to feel the exprience once on pubg mobile. After i exit and launch for the second time, the T button is still there but its not functioning anymore.. does anyone know how to fix these? cause its very helpful to had that button useable again.
Does anyone know if you can use those shoulder buttons for other things besides gaming? Like map them to open an app or something?
