Abstract: The subject technology provides for displaying applications on a display while avoiding the display's irregular or undesirable features. The disclosed techniques include determining whether a triggering condition related to an application executing on an electronic device is present, and if so, determining a user interface (UI) adjustment value. The UI adjustment value is applied to a frame that represents all of the content including a user interface of the application to be rendered on the display. The UI adjustment value represents an adjustment to the frame such that, when the adjusted frame is rendered, the user interface of the application is presented on the display except on a predefined portion (e.g., a portion including an irregular feature or region) of the display. The adjusted frame is then rendered to present the user interface of the application on the display except on the predefined portion of the display.

Abstract: A wireless characteristic of a wireless signal may be used to trigger generation of a position fix. A mobile computing device may include a wireless transceiver, a location determination circuit and a processing circuit. The wireless transceiver may be configured to receive a wireless signal over a short range wireless network from a wireless system. The processing circuit may be configured to detect a change in the wireless signal and, in response to the detected change, to generate a position fix using the location determination circuit.

Abstract: A system and method of providing a user interface jump list application is disclosed, which reduces multiple functions into a single user interface function for electronic devices such as portable or mobile devices having computing and communication capabilities. First, the user interface jump list application provides a list of applications executing in the background on the electronic device. Second, the user interface application provides for the ability for the user to close, kill or quit (by giving an instruction) the application running in the background without having to activate or launch that application. The user interface application indicates applications that are active in a different font so the user can easily differentiate an application that is active from one that is not. The user interface application additionally provides a list of important or favorite applications for quick access and a list of recently used applications for quick access.
