Thumbs up
Hi @benkxda,

The app also does not silence incoming messages.

This should be fixed now. The change I made is that Airplane is mode is enabled each time PeaceOfMind is started, so this disables WiFi. Previously, the app would check airplane status, skipping if already was already on.

Silent mode would probably not deactivate the LED notification light. However I did not check.

When enabling PeaceOfMind, Airplane and Silent modes are (now) both set (or silent-mode-only based on settings). So this silences notifications. Handling Alarms is a whole different story since they could be set by different apps. This would require displaying a list of installed apps to handle sound for each. I prefer to stick to the original mission: disconnect from the outside world

Well, it seems that enabling GPS with Airplane mode on varies by manufacturer. It's a very good idea and I understand the advantages, however I don't think such a feature fits with this app's scope. sorry

Thanks again for all your valuable feedback!

Thanks @mudar1488 for the recent updates. Before I go on, I want you to update also the first post of the thread, if you upload a new version including the new file, to get a version history. Also a Changelog in the first post would be nice. You also can place a new post, but please also update the first post. This makes it way easier to check if this thread was either updated or not. If the Fairphone index is up or let's say necessary, I don't wanna miss an update.


I use your Peace of Mind+ on my business device, a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (720 x 1280 pixels, 4.8 inches). Today I was checking the last version and I saw a couple of things, probably issues, maybe not.

1. Version number
I think I should have the version 0.6, but after a look in the app info, I was confused: "ca.mudar.fairphone.peaceofmind version 0.9.4 beta". Is that right or did I just update to much?

2. Sound on/off
Usually my phone is silenced completely. After I set a time in Peace of Mind+ and time ran out, the airplane mode switched off and sound switched on. So no silence anymore. Please save the settings of the sound before Peace of Mind+ becomes active and after the time ran out, restore the settings. Same thing with the airplane mode, which usually is active on my device, as well as WiFi is active.

3. Graphical issues
I have some graphical issues on my device. When I start Peace of Mind+ you see the following:


You can see a strange graphical fragment on the right of "ATPEACE". I started the app three times, and I always saw a different fragment.

Then I started a time and reset it to zero right afterwards, result:


Ok, so the fragment is gone and the text "ATPEACE" jumped one text line up and stays there, because on the left side, there are two text lines during the time is running out. Check the image below, in this case the two text lines are "1h35 TO1h35". To avoid these fragments, I currently have to set a time, then the fragment is gone.


Hope the images help to compensate some of the wrong or not correct words/text phrases I used. If not, don't hesitate to ask.


EDIT:
Just recognized your title of the post with the latest app version: "Version 0.9.4". I am a bit lost. Why is version 0.9.4 called v0.6 in the file name?

Great feedback @benkxda, as usual

I've added updates to the OP, but for detailed history I on Github. For future versions, I'll probably just publish the updates in the OP instead of adding a new reply each time.

Mystery resolved in the OP! APK filename has the versionCode (1 to 6) but I refer to it by its versionName (0.9 beta to 0.9.6 beta)

well, this is a strange one! I did test on a Galaxy S3 and didn't see such pixels.
  • When you enable PeaceOfMind, do you see an animation in the background (like a water flood)?
  • Do you still these pixels in landscape mode?
  • How long has it been since last time you did a reboot?! (just looking for hints)
  • Do you think these pixels could be translucid? meaning do you think you see a scramble of your homescreen ? or do they look more like pixels of a corrupted video?
I'll do my best to find the issue.

I've added the last two to the GitHub issues page

Edit: I've attached 2 APKs to test the Graphical issues. @benkxda reported having graphical issues on his Galaxy S3 (unspecified ROM). Users who have the same issue (screen captures attached) can try installing these 2 versions and see if the issue is still there. Warning: ugly colors are used

What a shame, I forgot my S3 LTE at work. It has Android 4.3.1 running, CM10.2 nightly (set to 280 ppi).

Well, I just thought, I give other devices a try. I used file version 0.6, as this was the version on the S3 LTE, where I found those graphical issues.
First up, the Nexus 5 (full HD set to 440 ppi, Omni nightly). I did not see any problems. Then I tried it on the Galaxy Nexus (720x1280, just like the S3 LTE, set to 320 ppi and running CM11 nightly) and also no problems. It might be a problem with the older Android 4.3.1 or maybe this special nightly? I am back at work on Monday.

Thanks a lot for this. I was looking for such an app when I saw a Fairphone unboxing video.

Yes. +1 and thank you @mudar1488

Ok, now to your questions:
Quote:

  1. Yes, I see the animation (smoothly on N5/S3 LTE and on Galaxy Nexus a bit sluggish).
  2. Yes, I see these pixels in landscape mode. Doesn't matter if I start in portrait mode and switch to landscape mode or if I directly start in landscape mode.
  3. I have this all the time, doesn't matter if I try after reboot or at the end of the day... always the same.
  4. This is a bit special. Well, I think I don't see my background wallpaper (my wallpaper is just simple black). But I tried it on two home screens. One screen with a lot of icons, the other one with none (even no navigation icons). The result was interesting, as I saw a mostly brown or green fragment on the screen with much icons and usually a black fragment on the screen without icons. It is not always the brown/green or the black one, but that where the most results.

Hope that helps.

Thanks @benkxda! Did you try-out the v07a and v07b versions (attached here)? the latter doesn't play video and they both use ugly colors to try to understand what zone/element holds the strange pixels!

However, I do suspect an issue with the custom ROM or the custom DPI value used

Nnnniiice work! So will you get/ put it into the f-droid repository as well? Looking forward to it!
(also, please tell me if the people from f-droid put it into their repository or if a developers has to do that. It could be just them, because all the code is available and they build it from source by themselves to make sure applications don't differ from the code they link to/ offer)

Screenshots of Version 7A and 7B. Pixels still appearing. No change with Version 8. However, it's not hurting.

Version 7 A


Version 7 B


Version 8


I tried 7A and 7B without the enabled software navbar, also with the native DPI @ 320 dpi. Nothing changed there, as well.


Quote:

When done, I hope to refactor the Fairphone OS launcher.

What's that? Why did you strike that? I don't mind if you would touch that as well


EDIT:
Upgraded the S3 LTE to CM11 (Android 4.4.2). Regardless to software navbar and dpi settings - it just works now. So forget this problem on (maybe all ROMs with) Android 4.4.2.
But you could update the Help page, it's up to 12 hours now, what is really great.
