Probably a simple question but I use a GPS Golf program on my ATT Tilt. Between shots the power goes off on the Tilt and when I turn it back on the the main power button it goes to the home screen instead of resuming the application. It is driving me nuts. I suppose this is how it is supposed to work but is there a way so to have it resume where you left off in an application when you turn on the tilt with the power button?
Thanks

Try to disable the "Today Timeout" option in the the Today settings!!
Ciao
I have been playing around with the power setting so it doesn't go off so quickly, but there are still times I need it to resume where I left off on the phone when I use the power button. Seems odd that there doesn't seem to be a choice to just resume when powered on and not just go to the home screen... Any other ideas?
If you don't mind sharing...what is the name of this GPS Golf software? Thanks!!
Not at all. It is truly a great application that incorporates keeping score for all players in your group, side bets, GPS and shot tracking. It also has a desktop software to sync with. The name is it is Intelligolf. You can learn all about it at their website at http://intelligolf.com .
What really sold me on the tilt was the GPS. I purchased the Garmin XT software so my Tilt is my Garmin GPS for my car and is also my GPS golf device as well. Intelligolf offers course downloads for free. If the course you play is not listed you have to mark the points yourself which is very easy or you can do it via Googlemaps.
Very cool.

I was hoping it would give a picture of the hole. We have a golf course here with GPS in the carts, and it gives you pictures of the holes so you know exactly where everything is.
Unfortunately it does not. This one shows you the distance from where you are to all the points marked such as front-middle-back of green, sand traps and other hazards, etc... I at first wanted to see the actual layout of the course as well then saw the cost is very high on those kind of units. You have to purchase the unit and most of them charge to download each course (seems like some were $19.95 per course). Depending on how accurately you have marked the courses you play, it works just as well IMHO. I do love knowing exact yardage and the tilt seems to do this very well and locks in fairly quickly most of the time.

Well, I found a solution to my problem. I have SPB shell 2.0 on my tilt and in it there is an option for when you turn the power on. You can have it open to the now screen or not... I don't think there is an option in the default today screen for this..

Hello,
Topic may be a bit miselading - it's not abut the holder itself, looks fine and works well. It's about the software that freaks me out.
WM forces me to use the NaviPanel, which is quite okay, as long as you use your HD2 as a phone. Well, if I wanted just a phone, I would not buy a WM device, would I...
Of course, I have a choice: I can tell WM not to launch NaviPanel when in the holder, but then:
- home button does not work (it doesn't work anyway, whether NP is launched or not)
- home screen is not rotated, but other screens are - it doesn't matter whether you're holding the phone in portrait or landscape, they just are rotated. So, If you keep it in portrait on home screen, and a call comes in, it's rotated to landscape, so you have to tilt either your head or the holder. If you somehow manage to get back to home screen (remember, home button doesn't work), you have to rotate the holder again.
- While rotating, but not only, a clipboard menu pops up (copy, select all etc.) even on home screen and messes up the display, you have to tap to get rid of it.
- When a rotated landscape 'make a call' screen appears, you cannot go into contacts. You just cant. You have to get it out of the cradle so that a normal screen appears.
And so on and so forth... I'm using a stock 1.66 ROM. I will try it with some cooked ROMs, but that's just wrong.
My advice, if you're not after the looks, buy yourself a good ole passive or active brodit holder - it simply works and does not mess with the WM.
Please, can you post photos of the kit?
This is NOT a problem with the OS, rather how HTC have programmed the Navipanel software and their Sense home screen. Default WM can perform all the functions you mentioned, blame HTC for putting eye candy before functionality.
A little disappointed with the Navipanel myself. I was expecting to see nice driver friendly buttons to use simple things like the music player. Instead I have several buttons to turn on the sat nav and one to use the phone.
Only had a quick play with it so I maybe missing something, but hopefully HTC will update it or or some talented chappie or chapess here will work there magic.
Is there an app or a way to have the tab wake up (to the lock screen) when it detects motion? ie Wake up automatically when it's picked up? allowing you to then either use the device or set it down so the screen can timeout again?
It seems like a more natural way to use the device as opposed to fiddling with a button. If like me you use the device only around the house then it's stationary 90% of the time and not being jostled about in a pocket. So if I pick it up at all then it's because I'm about to do something with it. It'd be great to have the screen flick on automatically.
It's not something I've seen much of. I'm not even sure if that sensor can trigger that action. Any thoughts or ideas?
If you are on a firmware that lets you access test mode (*#*#0*#*#) you can find that P1000 actually have a "grab sensor" that works well, but I never knew the use of it...
Let's hope the experts have an answer! ^^
I have to admit, that would be a cool feature... not for everyone or every lifestyle, but I can already imagine frequent uses where that would be good to select as an option.
I'm runnning overcome 4.1.0 - doesnt seem to let me access the test settings for the "grab sensor". Fingers crossed there is another way to utilize this feature.
So, first a little background.
Its late at night, i had just purchased my phone earlier in the day and i was looking around the settings and found the Send Emergency SOS mode the S6 has.
What it does is, it sends your location to your emergency contacts, in case you find yourself kidnapped by Jason Statham. It also sends an audio recording and front and rear camera pictures.
How it works. When you find yourself in an emergency situation you click the power button three times and the phone automatically messages your predetermined contacts as to where you are.
the biggest problem with this is the power button feels just like the lower volume button. so if your not looking at your phone and you try to quickly adjust your phones volume you hit the power button three times and bam. everyone you know thinks you are in trouble. there is no option to cancel this by the way.
i ended up sending two sets of emergency SOS notifications in the span of 24 hours.
its a cool idea and could potentially save lives but imho, it needs some re-tooling.
Cool story bro, but the buttons are:
On opposite sides
Different heights on the side of the device
One has another whole button on top of it
I really don't know what else they could have done besides... Well nothing.
You can turn the feature off if you want as well.
Shake2Safety PRO Android Apps on Google Play
hi check out this app which can easily mimic s6 sos feature and has additional features.
Search for Shake2Safety PRO and check it out.unable to post the link here somehow
While I can understand the draw of having no physical home button (more screen, yay), it has already annoyed me a few times while typing and and trying to hit the space bar and instead hitting the button.
Maybe there is a stronger sensitivity setting that I missed?
Anyone done this a lot yet? I also noticed that the ability to hide the bar stops as soon as you have the keyboard open...
I am beside myself. There are times when I am getting irritated because of complacency and then there are times when I am loving the real estate...
I am having problems swiping up for the navbar and it hits other apps. Or especially if I'm like text messaging and I swipe and my keyboard comes up. I made the nav bar stay on and it helps but I lose the real estate. Hope with root we can disable the navbar and use 3rd party nav bar on the side.

My phone is still on preorder, so I can't check, but I'm sure I saw somewhere that there is a setting to set the required pressure to activate Home
Yeah, I could have sworn I saw that too, but damned if I can find it now...
Found the link, but no phone yet, so can't test

Not in the least, using transparent nav bar layer and I have a gigantic screen. If you want black nav bar always use this. Install like an app and reboot, go to settings>display>nav bar>back ground color>select black>push slider to the right
I prefer a real button
I was annoyed at first, but I do admit I love the taller screen Samsung implemented this time by using the physical/capacitive button area for more screen space, unlike other OEMs content to stick with 16:9 screens and waste that space on soft keys. After all, Samsung lets you hide the nav bar with a quick double-tap.
Having to call up the nav bar for back and recents got old fast, but a Reddit poster clued me in on a neat hidden feature: if you force-press the home button, you can side-swipe for back or recents, no swipe-up for nav bar necessary! It does take some getting used to, though.

So get rid of the Note 8. The lack of a home button was implemented on the S8 series, it is the new norm.
I am coming from S8+ so no, it doesn't bother me at all. It took all of 5 minutes to get used to it on S8+

no. not at all. this is how it was before. I prefer this way and loving the ability to hide the buttons too. very happy.
Actually it is a pain in the neck, especially when driving and I switched from S8, still don't like it after 6 months. Not a deal breaker, but especially with full screen apps, simple one press turns into frustrating 3,4, sometimes even 5 presses. For that reason most of the time I have full screen disabled, but that beats the whole purpose of having full screen without buttons. That also forces fingerprint reader into back, absolutely huge issue when driving and having the phone mounted. There are workarounds, like having phone unlocked when connected to BT etc, but simplest solutions are the simplest and physical keys were simplest.
Coming from the Note 4, I'm instinctively keep going to press what's not there haha.
Only had it since 11am so can't make a proper judgement yet, it has got better in the last couple of hours though, so don't think it'll be long before it becomes just as natural as hitting the button was.

but it is there and that's the beauty of the phone. all that gorgeous glass and screen with nothing to take away from it. had no problem when I used older phones and tablets that were the same way. I predict you'll adapt fairly fast. I did.
I have the nav bar auto hide (swipe up to get nav bar), even when hidden you can hard press where the home button usually is to simulate a home button push
I would of NEVER bought the Note 8 if it still had the old, ugly, 2007 iphone home button.
Its 2017, not 2007 peoples.

Just hard-press area where home button is. No need to wait for anything to show up.
Coming from a Pixel XL it doesn't bother me at all. Just another Learning curve.
It has a physical home. Press hard in the middle 1 inch from the bottom edge of the phone. Great move on Samsung's part.
