741420 - LG G2X pops up annoying modal dialog, preventing Eideticker from running correctly

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Attachment: Screenshot of annoying LG behaviour

LG phones have this annoying feature where they pop up a modal dialog when the phone is finished charging. This prevents eideticker from sending the right input events and getting the right capture data.

Since this is an LG-specific customization, I can't peek into the source to see if there's a way of disabling this functionality (though I doubt there is anyway). I'll write up a monkey script to automatically "tap" the area where the modal dialog would be before running a test, which should be a viable workaround.

(CCing people who are probably wondering why the eideticker dashboard has been giving invalid data for the past few days)

I have a fix, but I need to test it (the LG phone connected to the eideticker machine has since been knocked out of that state). Meanwhile, I did a manual run of the eideticker dashboard update script, so http://wrla.ch/eideticker/dashboard should now have numbers of the weekend's nightlies.

Ok, tested both on my machine and in Mountain View. Fix works great!
