Behaviour of swipe to search gesture changed after google app update!



After the google app got updated the behaviour of the swipe-to-search gesture apparently changed. Before the update you just swiped up from the homebutton on the homescreen and the cursor was placed in the google search bar. The keyboard appeared and you were immediately able to start typing.
Now after the update a new blank windows is opening when you swipe up that looks a little like google now. It showes the google search bar in the middle of the screen and you have to click it to place the cursor in the search bar that moves up to the screen after you clicked it. And then you're finally able to type.
Does anyone know a way to change that behaviour back to how it once was and is there a way to let the google developers know, that it sucks the way it is?
And is anybody sharing my anger about that stupid change of a perfectly working app?



GCM Push Notification behaviour..



Hi there,
I purchased full version of Greenfy and now I can take advantage of those extra experimental features...
For example, maybe there's someone that could explain what "GCM push for greenfied apps does?"...The only result I can see is like this:
I greenfied Facebook Messenger, Facebook, S Health, Maps, HERE Maps...because I don't want these apps be woken again only if there are some received notifications because at the same time I don't want any missed notifications from these apps...does this experimental feature " GCM push for greenfied apps" helps me to obtain what I need?
Well, I've seen while I'm not connected to Internet neither via WiFi nor Data, these apps are hibernated and further wakeups no longer occur but when I connect to the Internet, Messenger is set like this: It's automatically placed into "Not hibernating automatically" with this status:
Working
20:56 ago content provided: Messenger Logged!
And the other one, Facebook is placed automatically under "Will hibernate in minutes after screen is OFF"...what do all these mean??
These 2 apps are woken up automatically by the system although there were no notifications in either case...
I've just connected to the internet and these apps woken up...is it a normal behaviour?
Maybe someone more experimented could explain me the whole process...Thanks in advance!!

Now I see both apps are under the same category: "Will hibernate in minutes after screen is OFF"...how many minutes is all about???



Battery - Very weird behaviour



After my stock battery started dying and not holding the charge anymore I bought two new aftermarket batteries (2300mAh) everything went fantastic for some time, then from one day to the other the battery I use daily started draining crazy (even 2% at time) I tried a lot of roms with no luck. Bad battery you say, here is the weird fact, the other battery which used maximum 4-5 times at month keeping it at half-charge, has the EXACT same drain that the other has. Is it possibile that something in the phone has gone nuts and is indicating wrong values? I also ran a full charge-discharge cycle preventing the low battery shutdown through xposed, and it shutdown some minutes after hitting 0%, at full charge indicates 4.300mV is it correct, isn't it?

Also using the *#0228# code (I can't recall now if it's correct) the charge level drops a lot like 30-50% and I noticed that the phone later stays at that % for quite a bit and also the heat from the battery draining stops and the phone stays very cool also while gaming, until it starts draining again

Crazy screen behaviour with Magnetic Charger attached



Hey all, I've always had this problem when using a magnetic charger on my Z1c (cheap eBay plug adapter that goes on the end of a normal USB cable) where the screen goes crazy flipping landscape/portrait, opening apps, closing apps ... like it's possessed by a ghost!

When I lock the screen it stops (I assume...).

Anyone else got this problem? I am also using a glass screen protector if that makes any difference.

I also heard over a year ago that when using a magnetic charger attachment it somehow has a leaking/residual electrical charge that transmits across the screen causing random activations ... dunno how this could be at all possible though, lack of science. Or it could be the fact I'm using a cheap eBay product with zero safety/quality control....

Cheers.
