[How-To] go directly back to last used app / show app on glance screen
asked 2014-12-19 01:20:04 +0300
@Jolla: if it's a feature, it's great, if it's a bug please never fix it!
while starting an app, immediatly press power-button to lock the screen
after that, you can unlock the screen and you will go directly to this app again
you can lock and unlock your phone as often as you want, you will always be back in this app directly again
if you have glance screen enabled, it will show you live view of this app (no matter if native or dalvik), when you take the phone out of your pocket
if you want to switch to another app, just do whatever you want and after that, press the power-button immediatly after launching it from the multitasking view again and it will work the same way again
For those who don't know that glance screen is, here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJUrAXwlG-s

Yes this is normal as long as the delay of, I think 10s hasn't passed. This was release quite a long time ago. On top of that, you will have with the latest update 1.1.1.26 something interesting with the Power Key. See also here the previous topic.

i'll try to explain it to you by the differences between what you are talking about and what i'm talking about:
Leinad ( 2014-12-19 10:11:55 +0300 )editwhat you mean only works for a short time (30s i think) while what i mean works for hours
what you mean only works, when the display shuts down autmatically, while what i mean works also, when you lock the display manually
what you mean does not work with the glance screen
what is a glance screen?
