I'm not sure what all this app does. I believed it was for voice dial and the car dock. I'm on ViperOne ROM and I have the car dock uninstalled through the ROM installer.
So, today it just popped up when I picked it up. I was at work and I hit the back button and it was gone. I've never seen that screen before, I can't duplicate what it did, and it wasn't in my recents.
Anyway I'm not worried about it just curious.

Does it occur when swiping top down when the screen is off?

Yes it activates when swiping down.
But what I saw yesterday was not that it just looked simple and def not a Google thing.
I'm just wondering WTF was that lol

Well I think the HTC speak is the one when swiping top to bottom when the screen is off to wake up and do certain commands idk why they have it though seems kinda useless to me

Actually I think it's ok. It works that's always a plus.
Still wish I could duplicate what I did.
Another thing that I just remembered that I discovered. Was using my boss's radio at work and hooked up my m8. Radio had an elastic thing to hold an mp3 player. As soon as the phone saw the elastic, it went into dot matrix mode lol. Kinda funny.

I got my Nexus 7 three days ago. It seems like sometimes when it's charging and I pick it up, the screen turns itself on. But I can't seem to purposely reproduce this behavior and I'm wondering if maybe I'm just hitting the power button without realizing it. Likewise, once or twice it seems to have put itself into sleep when I set it down. Can anybody confirm this behavior?
Mine has done this with me as well. There was one guy who posted that it had happened to him, but it was to do with a magnetic case. I've not got round to getting a case for mine yet, and there have been times where I've picked it up, 100% sure i haven't hit the power button, and the screen has come on....

This has happened with me too, turns out it was coming on when I left it charging on top of a speaker... Sometimes the screen wasn't coming on at all even if I pressed the power button numerous times.

Funny...come to think of it, the auto-off happened when I set it on my iPad, which is in a magnetic case.
P.S. - Am I allowed to say "iPad" in this forum?

Well when my n7 was switching itself on, it was sitting on a pillow on my bed, nowhere near any magnets. And when it happened I manually switched the screen off, put it back down again, and was able to repeat it again and again. So unless my pillows are magnetic...

Have you tried talking to her about Android development? A lengthy treatise on the pros and cons of HTML5 vs. native should scare her off!

That's actually a very good idea, something along those lines, I'd need to bore her with a subject that won't immediately let her know that I'm taking the p155, but having just got my n7, I could maybe just start talking to her all the time about it and nothing else lol
Who would have thought you'd even get relationship (avoidance) advice here on XDA

My be your bed company is "magnetic"? kidding!
I got twice this effect when at bed. And I found it perfect to wake the device in the dark because the start button is not so easy to get and very often is opposite to your available finger!
I had that before, but not since I upgraded to 4.2 I think.
It's a really cool feature, I hope Google add it.
I had this happen a few times as well. Try putting your device to sleep and wiggling the USB cable where it plugs into the N7. If you plug the charger in while the screen is off, the screen will turn on. I know mine doesn't have a real solid connection and if I pick it up while it's charging, it will sometimes cause the cable to lose its connection for a second or so and then move back into position, causing the N7 to essentially think you're plugging the charger in. You might see if that's what's happening with yours as well. I figured I was the only one and it wasn't a big deal so I've just been careful about picking it up while charging or transferring data.

When it happened to me there was no cable plugged in, and I was able to switch the screen back off, put it down again, and pick it up and make the screen come on again. Definitely never pressed any buttons or had it near any magnets.
I think it was before I had upgraded though. Some people say this would actually be a nice feature, and until you remember that everywhere you take your n7 away from home its gonna be switching on and of all the time in your pocket/car etc it would be....

I fully agree, but this feature will and must only be for in "home" use. So not active when lock screen is enabled.
When I'm at home is the main time that I do need the screen lock lol, if I'm out it's usually in my pocket.. The auto screen on would be a good feature at home though, I'm just not sure how it could be implemented.
Oh, wait, I just thought of something It's entirely possible right now. I could use my nice new app called Tasker, and set it up to tell the screen to come on when it feels movement. What's more, if I want it to only happen at home, I can tell it to only work when GPS says I'm home, or simpler, tell it to only do it when I'm connected to my home WiFi network. Tasker is a cool app.

I've noticed that the back button on my HTC One sometimes doesn't respond and I have to press it quite a few times before it starts working again.
The issue is very random and intermittent I don't know what sets the issue off, anyone else had this issue?
I've only had the phone for a day, should I call P4U and return it?

are you sure youre hitting the actual sensitive part of the button?
mine works great but i do find the button is a little "small" - just a case of getting used to the placement for me
I have mine and all ok, but friend sent his back because of this problem

Yep I'm hitting the icon dead on not missing the sensitive part. Its strange because I'm pressing exactly where the back button responds then suddenly it stops working.

That's what happened the first time round but the problem then started to occur more often but on a irregular basis. For a second I thought it's because the phone is getting quite warm.
It's annoying though, safe bet is just to exchange it before the problem gets worse
My home and my back arent illuminated I'm sure they were when I got the phone
Reviews show them lit .. before I ring 3 for a replacement I want to check
Thanks

cover the 2 sensors on the top left with a piece of folded paper or something, do they light up?
Ah yes .. I'm sat under a bright light doooh thank you
Thought my home and back was faulty . It sometimes is less responsive than other times (double tap to get multi apps ) but I'm presuming that's a software glitch
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Others are reporting issues with the buttons sometimes not responding, not sure if it's a software glitch, or just a small footprint for the buttons, ie you have to press right on the button and not in the general area if you know what i mean.
Cool I'll relax then and stop worrying my phone is faulty. Big thanks
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I would monitor how you go with pressing the buttons, it may be a glitch, but i know when i'm using mine, i am often off the button when i press it, being used to the One X for the last year, the buttons are further to the edge, so automatically i have been pressing further out than the actual buttons are.
I always turn mine off. Just saying lol

The capacitive area is in fact VERY small. Just barely bigger than the Home and Back icons themselves. Precision touch is required and is why I suspect some think its not responsive

I use an app called keyboard backlights from play. Works great but recently in occasions they come on anyway. They are off 80% of the time though. Can only do if your rooted btw

Try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39498430&postcount=7
Seems that the One has very small area of touch for buttons, so probably not software problem.
Turn on vibrate and you will realise how small of an area we have .. seems the way it's been designed and not a bug . Vibrate assists because you know when your missing now don't have the issue

Do you also hear a small loose part moving somewhere near beneath the camera when you shake your phone? No big deal but just wondering if normal...

I've heard sometimes the SIM card slot could shake?
Maybe. Idk.
Tried shaking the phone close to my ear, heard some sound, got scared as hell. Realized it was just my phone brushing against my hair >___>
Still do hear something. Best guess: vibration motor or sim card moving around in the slot.
Might just be the camera itself rattling. It moves a bit because of the image stabilization feature. Its the same reason why you hear a small click when you first start up the camera.
If you're talking about a noise around the camera specifically, almost like a buzz/vibration, then yes, I have that and so did my Inspire 4G. Same sounds that after this phone having it, assumed it isn't anything too abnormal if both of them did it.
Well, to clarify, if I tap my finger around the top, it's a buzz, but if you just shake it, it's more of a click.
It's the auto focus mechanism in the camera. Nothing to worry about. Totally normal.
There was a big hey-ho about it when the iPhone 4 was released.
