[Q] ICE on locksreen - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for a app, or setting to show my ICE (in case of emergency) on my lock screen.
I'm using Android 5.1.1 on a CM12 rooted device.
I've being looking on the internet and the Play store, but couldn't find a app or setting there.
Thanks for sharing your information

I'm using Power Toggles and added my ICE contact as a shortcut.
Voila - ICE contact reachable from the lock screen.

Thanks siddhesh.raikar,
But I've already got my own information on that place (in case of losing my phone)
And second, the tekst you can enter in the "lock screen message" place, will only "loop" across my screen.
I'm looking for something like Medical ID (ICE): Emergency Apk 3.4.1 SEO, only than for android 5.1.1
Anyway thank you for responding

This ICE app has the option to put its widget on its own lock screen: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appventive.ice

Does this APP work out fine on 5.1.1? I've saw some reviews on this app that showing a lot off issues. Ik don't bother to pay for a app, unless i'm certain it works out fine.
Rather have a free and payed version of the app.

I'm on 5.1.1 on my Nexus 6 and it works great. I enter all of my information and do all of my updates on the Family Medical Info web site, which will email the new file to your phone.
I don't really care for its lockscreen, so I use a shortcut to it in the Xposed Gravity Box module instead. There are probably other ways of doing it as well.

Works fine for me on 5.1.1. The issue people are having is that it doesnt add a widget to your current lock screen, it replaces your lock screen with their own (and it looks like it is an Eclair or FroYo lockscreen). If you have security set up on your lockscreen, that is where it gets borked. It will add a second lock screen. I don't know if this will ever get fixed, but I use a Motorola KeyLink to lock/unlock my phone. i figure if i get hit by a car, and the EMT is working on me, my keys will be close by to unlock my phone automatically

Black screen during call

Hi,
I'm wondering to know if you know application to avoid black screen during calls for the HTC Hero.
RucaNebas
Yes. On the app store there is a free app called Shake Awake. It detects the movement of pulling the phone away from your ear and activates the screen. The sensitivy can be adjusted.
Thank you very much for your quick replay Paul.
I installed and it seems to work.
Thank you again.
Do you know where I can find cool applications for our Hero?
RucaNebas
Wow, this works very nice.
Thank you

You're very welcome.
I have so far only installed apps from the Android Market.
Excellent find.
Not working on HTC Hero :-((
Do you know why?
Yeah, didn't work on the Hero. I hope they fix that with the update and also that annoying vibrate when the phone connects. While interesting concept it is really not needed. I figure I know when it connects when the other person says hello.
You can use Keepscreen, there is a lite version ;-)
Hi,
you may use the free app calle KeepScreen Lite, too.
This app lets you choose for which apps you want the screen always stay on.
The Hero uses a specific phone app, whose name is different from google standard phone app ... But KeepScreen lets you manually choose the apps you want.
There are two versions of keepscreen : the free one (called lite), which is 'limited' to standard google apps, and two of user's chose. The pay version is unlimited.
edit : bricabrac : you won this one
Thank you guys.
I'm sorry to back again, but I need to understand your explanations.
Do you mean that the KeepScreen Lite application could be installed on the Hero and activates the screen during calls?
Which is the Hero app name that keeps the screen always stay on during calls?
I had already created a thread with regard to the screen switching off during a call here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547736
Shakeawake doesn't seem to work for all and for those it does it can be unreliable.
PowerManager can be set (in a profile) to keep the screen alive when making a call for up to a minute (specify by number of secs... I think) which gives you plenty of time to get past those 'pick 1 to do ... pick 2.... etc' type calls.
Hope this helps
how do i install this " shake awake" program on my foon! new 2 andriod

KeepScreen
if i'm not mistaken the actual phone app should be named "Dialer"
KeepScreen is now completely free, and has in the free version all functionality
ahm, can anyone tell me how do i turn the screen off again after i awoke it? my ear keeps checking notifications :/
fyi...on my hacked sapphire, keepscreen was a little buggy. it would sometimes still allow dialer app to go dark while on call even with the keepscreen app running as confirmed in both notification bar and running apps. also, when rebooting phone, keepscreen requires restart but that is probably normal. for me, i decided i rather not deal with the problem of occasional face/key-press on long calls and just let the device go dark. i've become familiar with the quick-key presses to handle call-swap, speaker-on, and such...
I have shake awake since a while and it works fine.
Keepscreen is nice to keep applications "awake"

4.2 known bugs

I thought it would be nice for both users and developers what to expect from next update to fix or be fixed. I'm gonna give a kick start to known bugs, so that we can be aware of the faults of 4.2. Don't shoot the things you didn't like here since it is nothing to do with this "bug" thread. Here I go..
1. I keep telling myself this should not be a bug since it is so obvious but there is no reason for it to be implemented that way. Which is the hour segment of lock screen time being bold and the other half is normal font.. Maybe there is a reason for this hopefully..
2. Pull down the notification bar from top, when it is down, pull down from the top most again. Notification center will continue going down and out of the screen. It applies for both quick settings and notification center.. Major bug! - 1 to googles test engineers.
Now you can add your own test cases and bugs and maybe we have great devs to sort them out and develop great custom roms..
I don't think either is a bug ,more or less design desicions. I actually like both things you mentioned

last one you mentioned stops extending menus down the way when dpi is changed

I can understand the first one but you clearly didn't understand the second. This is a major bug because a layout goes out of screen. They seem to not lock pulling down from the top most of the screen when it is already pulled down.. Result; notification center goes out of the screen..

If you fling it down it stops ,then you can pull it all the way down or just fling it back up.trust me they designed it that way ,it's not a bug.

This is probably a feature Not really a bug..
But on the lock screen .. Long tap the clock quickly.. you will see a big square highlight the unlock button Slide to unlock . This will take you to a STOP WATCH TYPE INTERFACE..
I Was hoping there would be a way in there to change the stupid bold hour number . That is gross to look at ..
Just to try it i Created a 3rd user..From the lock screen then you log into that user account to set it up. When it gets the point it ask for user Name SU Pops up asking to grant permission .. then give a message ..
SuperSU has granted superuser permission :/system/bin/id
tried 3 times .. if you let it set on that screen you will get Supersu isnt responding .. You click ok then it will allow you to continue setting up the account.
The second account set up fine.. Just thought i would try a 3rd and look at directory structure..
Can someone try and see if its just me with the issue. It finally created the account. with a reboot. but its unstable .Thanks Erica
Youtube is borked with stereo (a2dp) bluetooth headsets - sync issues, laggy, scratchy. They have clearly done some changes to bluetooth audio (you can hear the bluetooth headset mute/come alive when there is a moment or two of no sound).
Can't log into gmail with another account in chrome.
I used to log into another account in chrome that I haven't bothered linking. I went to gmail in chrome (not requesting desktop version) and I was already logged into my primary account. It's never done that before. I thought no big deal and signed out. Now gmail continually loops on the address constantly refreshing but the site never actually comes up.
And not a bug, but I'm annoyed Nexus 7 didn't get miracast. Can't imagine the reason for that. And the what's new page isn't clear that it is only nexus 4. http://www.android.com/whatsnew/
Yes it does say "Share what’s on your phone on the big screen." but the rest of the text and the page makes it seem like these are 4.2 features and not exclusive to N4. I'm hoping custom roms will enable miracast.
Also, not a bug but a feature lost, the camera no longer has the funny faces (big nose, small eyes etc). ya I know a dorky feature but I don't see why it was removed. I know the nexus 7 didn't have the camera enabled by default but we have the new camera app so I assume other devices lost those as well.

Thanks for the tip, I had a bit of a play. It looks like it's just the digital clock widget, it's probably just a matter of time before more lock screen widgets become available

I'm getting an issue when tethering via Bluetooth. This morning it was working fine, the update came down while I was tethered to my phone, after the install I can pair to my phone but it won't connect.
I've tried deleting the pairing on both, re-pairing, rebooting... Anyone else having a problem? Anyone else doing Bluetooth tethering?
edit: never mind, I worked it out, I had to go in and select that I wanted to use the "Internet Access" profile
Seems like realvnc doesn't like this new update crashes

Galaxy S6 5.1.1 - All new features

Here are all the feature changes I noticed, including little things:
–You can no longer select text in an input field by double tapping a word; now must long press to select.
–Volume buttons work normally in the Messaging app (previously they changed the font size)
–You can't grab the scrollbars on the sides of most apps to quick scroll (this was a feature that worked for most apps in 5.0.2)
–Obviously, Samsung Pay
–A new app from AT&T or Samsung: Games (which can be uninstalled entirely)
–Apps don't reload immeidately after you switch to a different app via the Recent button and then switch back. However, they do still reload on occasion, like with Chrome.
–Recents button responds ever so slightly faster (the lag is probably inherent because of the multitasking feature)
–Live streaming is a new mode in Camera, to automatically upload to YouTube
–I'm pretty sure the Messaging app settings layout got tweaked but I can't remember how
–I'm possibly wrong, but I think the font settings in Display apply more universally now. Previously I had it set to "very small" but the font in Gmail emails didn't seem to be affected. Now, Gmail emails are small like other text.
–I've heard of the option to change the parallax effect in TouchWiz launcher, but I'm using the GNL and am too lazy to check TW
That's all I've noticed so far. Comment if you notice anything else different.
Turning off the parallax is there now.

When you change the wallpaper, the setting is on the same screen.
The NFC icon is no longer constantly in the notification tray. I upgraded from OE3 though so it might have been addressed before. The Samsung keyboard changed too, can't long press letters to get the symbols behind them.
Is the phone really more responsive/fluid with the 5.1.1 than 5.02? I don't want to lose root so I don't know what to do.
The Messaging app brings up a warning message whenever you click on a link now.
"Following unknown links leaves your phone and personal data vulnerable. By tapping OK, you agree that you are solely responsible for any damage to your phone or loss of data that may result from following this link."
I don't see any way to disable the message either.

Hi
The software works as advertised. Thanks for the excellent software. However, this is my wishlist:
In Whatsapp and Telegram notifications, the profile picture of the person who sent the message doesn't not appear on the watch if i use Quick for Wear. However, the picture appears if i disable Quick and use the standard Whatsapp
There is no emoji keyboard or no way to use at the same time Quick reply and draw an emoji feature of Google wear
This is limitation for Android Wear. If someones send a picture in Whatsapp, I only get a notification but i cannot see the image on the watch. I don't know if someone could write an app or if you can add this to Quick
Also a limitation of Android Wear (and not related to Quick), you can only reply to messages and not create a new message. I hope Google can implement this later
Again, Thank you for this app. Being able to reply to messages on the watch is great )

Let me answer you point to point:
This is normal. We have picture mirroring planned but not implemented yet.
You can actually access an emoji list long pressing the lightning icon
This could be done, but I'm not sure it would be a good idea to bring it in Quick. I'll investigate
This can be done only with root and xposed at the moment

Do you have planned to add the number 4? It would be very cool if I can send messages without waiting for somebody to message me and Instead just open an app in my watch and send it directly.
Enable issue
Just bought the app recently but can't seem to enable the notification/app. Currently using the Huawei p8w 5.0.1 with a moto 360 v1.
After selecting the app for notifications, it still shows up as "Disabled"
Tried changing the notification settings but still not working, app isnt showing up on my watch either.
Anyone with the same issue?

try restarting your phone. the state you see there is directly changed by the operating system, so if it's not changing, it's because the phone is not giving permissions to access notifications to the app.

Not really, Quick was projected as a no-root solution. Wear Messenger has an xposed module and antiviruses keep throwing false alarms on it. (and the 360 security support is not doing anything). I don't want the same plague to kill Quick.

Yes, please keep it as a non-root solution. Or in case you ever implemented it, maybe use a two programs solution: one normal and one root

Hey ! I own the Moto 360 2nd and "Quick for Wear".
Problem: I enabled the keyboard but if i get a whatsapp message i cant repley with keyboard
WHY? pls help me.
Hi
Sometimes, the toggle for Quick for Wear is set by itself to disable, However, the toggle is still on in the notification access settings. I have to re-enable it to start receving notifications on the watch.
It is totally random

About point 3, I don't know if it's possible but it would be awesome if you can add it. Maybe a good way to open the image and not make the conversation difficult to read is, when someone send an image you will see in the chat: Image, and when you tap on it you see the image.
I don't know how difficult it would be, I really like your work with that app, as bought it some days ago and I'm so happy with it but if you can add it the app will be just perfect.
Pd: Sorry for my English, I'm from Spain and I'm still studying it hahaha

Now you can lock your mobile apps using your fingerprint.
• No Peaking in recent apps
• Fully optimized
• No battery Drain
Note :
• you must register your fingerprint in your device
[Settings]> [Security]> [Nexus Imprint]
• Turn On Accessibility Service , this app will not work without enabling it.
[Settings]>[Accessibility]> turn on > [App Locker : Service]
• Enable Device Admin to prevent unauthorized uninstall.

I've installed and will give feedback.
Needs a timeout. Once you open an app it should record that the app is open and if you switch tasks it should not lock you out until a timeout timer has expired.
I just released pro version without ads.
@ tech_head thanks i'll definitely implement that feature
How about sorting and filtering by enabled/disabled apps?
Other than that, this app is just friggin' incredible
Awesome app. Purchased.
Request: Would be nice to have a widget or option to enable or disable the app lock feature. When im home i dont want it on. When im at work i do. Right now i have to uncheck all the boxes one at a time. A toggle to turn on and off the ability without losing ur app selections would be nice.

Might I suggest an alternative suggestion? Whitelist WiFi BSSIDs, so app knows when it's at home, therefore doing things automatically.
Does the pro version only included no ads??
App is really good! Just gotten the paid version to support you! Prevent friends and family from assessing my data!
Request: would be nice to be able to lock apps without having to have a security feature enabled on the device. I just like swipe to unlock but would like to protect some apps
Same here, I don't use a lock screen but would like to lock apps.
Thank you for your efforts, but may we find a way to lock app by fingerprint without passing lock screen fingerprint register?

fingerprint api does not work if you have not registered the fingerprint in nexus imprint , so at this time it is not possible.
but if google allow this in future , i'll definitely implement this feature.

No. Because that takes away options. What if I'm having a party at home and give my phone to a friend to check out a funny pic or leave it on and open with Spotify playing to my audio system and people can chose a song. I'd rather then turn the feature on at home so people don't snoop.
It shouldnt be location based... It should require positive user intervention for the sake of most flexibility.
And to make sure someone else doesn't turn off the feature themselves, when the widget is pressed to turn app lock on or off, it asks for finger print as verification to make sure it's you that tapped it.
I have some Google Rewards credits, I will use them to purchase as well.
Some feedback. It should be "No Peeking" not "No Peaking".
And after install, the "App Locker: Need Permissions"
"Locker" is spelled as "Locer"
Unless that was intentional for some reason.
I'll give you some more feedback as well.
Sorry to be a "Grammar Nazi", but people don't trust apps if they have spelling mistakes etc.

i am really happy that you found these mistakes. today i'll be fixing that , and some more optimization.
Here is the future plan.
update 1= some performance optimizations. (today or max tomorrow)
update 2=UI improvement + option to add interval between next lock. (and some custom features depending on your feedback ) (this weekend)
update 3=password + pattern locking. (next weekend)
I think what we're missing here, is a false screen of some sort. My girlfriend absolutely hates that I'm friends with some people, and likes to snoop. Instead of blatantly requesting a finger print, maybe add a plain black screen that has a "unfortunately this application has stopped unexpectedly" or what ever the default force close message is, with no visible request for a Finger Print, but the scanner is ready and waiting. There's an app on the market that does this, but I'd feel better paying a developer on xda than a company thats probably data mining my "hidden" apps. Cheers!

Maybe the thing that is missing is a girlfriend that doesn't snoop.
