[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewpmoore:
Well I managed to pick up and S3 for development.

I've been playing around with the tackback issue. What is working for me at the moment is going into accessibility. Switching "ON" talkback. Then pressing the "settings button at the bottom".

Uncheck every checkbox in the settings.

Then switch talkback OFF again.

Could anyone else see if this helps for them?

New version of lightflow due very soon, just fixing up a few last bits for the s3 with the new version.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turkeyshoot:
Tried the above still have the talkback bug only but it only seems to be touchwiz related i.e when I open folders on a homescreen or go into the homescreen manager. Seems that the bug appeared after I enabled tasker under accessibility settings.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nezhina:
pulsing led

If you turn on or off your s3, you can see the led actually pulsing blue and greenish... I wonder if an app could make the led pulse in the same way for notifications...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nixsss:
About the talkback, I deactivated Samsung TTS in applications and that solved it for me. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martijn94:
doesnt neem to work for me :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goughymachine:
The only time I've had issues with it talking due to lightflow was when I had accessibility checked in the phone settings. When I turned this off, and also within lightflow unchecked accessibility check it stopped.

I've had some inconsistent results with lightflow. Will see if the updates I've recently had will solve that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
I had the problem of the phone talking when I pinch zoomed homescreens or the app drawer, but it didn't happen anywhere else so didn't bother me since I don't usually use either of those actions. None of the fixes worked for this problem.

I uninstalled Light Flow anyways, since it was destroying my battery life (as in I went from never having less than 4 hours screen on time to suddenly never having more than 3, back to over 4 again since uninstalled - was causing basically permanent wake locks seen in Better Battery Stats under PowerManagerService). I see the developer has some suggestions about how to reduce it's impact on battery, so I might try those since the latest update looks awesome.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partino:
when I install light flow and turn my screen off I have a constant solid green light..also it doesn't flash when I get a notification it just stays solid even though I have it set to flash not stay solid..then all the colors are out of whack

I only got this phone cause it was suppose to work with light flow and have a led notification similar to my BB and now I miss my BB:(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martijn94:
I got the freakin voice away and fully workin lightflow now.

In application management i turned off

-Talkback

-(samsung)TTS

-text-to-speech engine

I'm using the newest paid version of lightflow.

Hope it helps for you guys too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hk525191:
Temp Fix

Temporary solution that worked for me on my S3:

- Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Talkback "ON"

- Select "Settings" from the bottom of the page

- Uncheck all Talkback options

- Switch Talkback "Off" again

- Go back to Settings -> Application manager -> All

- Disable Google TTS (text to speech)

- Disable Samsung TTS (test to speech)

(Note that disabled apps will be located at the bottom of the list should you need to re-enable them)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olywa123:
I had this with Tasker - if you go into Settings-->Accessibility and look under Servcies you should see it listed there, just switch it to off. From what I understand the app should still work but no annoying 'folder open' stuff :)

Please confirm if this helped as it may help others.

Olywa
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the2rrell:
this is also what i did, and even though light flow still gives you that would like to turn on light flow for light flow to fully work crap.....it still works.

and without that crappy "The Folder Is Open" The Folder Is Closed" voice.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goughymachine:
Yes, turning accessibility off for both tasker and lightflow gets rid of the voice. But since no matter how many times I remove and install the app I get an annoying bug where an sms notification led won't stop without a reboot, I'm doing the unthinkable and purchasing the app :). I'm installing handcent again (tried sticking with the stock app but handcent is so nice) and will set it as default for my messaging. Hopefully since the paid app works with handcent it will solve my continuing led alert issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goughymachine:
So, if I may ask, has anyone got lightflow working fine with the stock messaging app, and if so what are your settings?

I couldn't get it to work with handcent, haven't tried go sms yet, but I'd like to use the stock app. I like the vibrate when picking up, and I actually use the 'lift the phone to your ear to call' feature.

For the stock app, I have tried having the clear notifications set as screen on - led doesn't flash as when I receive an sms the screen comes on so after that the notification led doesn't flash.

I have tried setting it to App entered - it doesn't matter which way I enter the app, whether through pull down notification, lockscreen app shortcut, lockscreen notification shortcut, or unlocking screen and entering app; the notification led continues to flash when the screen goes off. Only entering lightflow app or rebooting removes it.

I've tried manual setting, and it works but I have no shortcut to enter the app. And I've tried using lightflow sound and vibrate, but again I don't get shortcuts to enter the app.

I've purchased the paid app but I would love to get the sms notifications working how I'd like!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubespeed:
This solved it for me. Thanks :victory:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goughymachine:
If you don't mind me asking, could some of you who have lightflow working flawlessly share you settings, in lightflow and phone? The only way I can get lightflow to work properly is when I have accessibility set to on, and then I get the talkback. With accessibility off sometimes the led doesn't flash, sometimes it doesn't stop flashing. Very inconsistent.

And also, what firmware are you running on your phone? Maybe some work better with lightflow than others? I so want this led to work for me, and it's bugging the daylights out of me that it's not.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiViD:
@andrewpmoore:

Are you aware of a bug between Go SMS Pro and Light Flow Lite where if I go into Go SMS Pro and view a message, the LED will not turn off once I hit the power button to turn the screen off? This wasn't an issue in ICS, but I am wondering if it's a bug with LFL or GO SMS Pro.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mw86:
Hey guys im on the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 and had issues after installing Light Flow where my browser would use Talkback but Tallback wasn't enabled. I read an post from 2011 from someone on ICS and it was a faster fix than all of the above posts. Im on a Jelly Bean rom with Light Flow to clarify. I use Paranoid Android. The fix was as simple as going to Settings>Access ability>Disable "enhance web accessibility" which is Web Scripts. I havent had an issue since and all the other talk back services i was able to leave default... Like Samsung TtS and anything elsw mentioned above. I only changed that one option and no more issues for me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astarling10:
I also have a Sprint S3 but I'm using the leaked jellybean ROM and disabling the enhance web accessibility didn't work for me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZarathustraXX:
Yes, yes.

1. After installing LightFlow (and uninstalling it), I couldn't get the voice to go away no matter what I did, until I disabled the TTS apps.

2. After trying what you said, I discovered that what you said is correct. Meaning I can leave on TTS services for certain apps that make sense (such as S-Voice, or Google Now when I finally get JB or KLP on my phone).

THANK YOU.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mw86:
I guess i am on what is called an AOSP rom and which is Jelly Bean Android 4.1.2. You are on a variant of Jelly Bean Touchwiz i think considered JB Lj7 which is Android 4.1.1. The difference in the two may be why it didn't work. The Touchwiz roms have a lot of the Samsung stuff entact. AOSP has gone in its own direction and is minimalist but is most current on the underlying linux base. There is likely a difference between ICS Touchwiz, Jelly Bean Touchwiz and AOSP roms on this Talk Back issue.

The developer of Light Flow commented above on a fix for ICS. For AOSP Jelly Bean this method I ended up looking up stopped the on going issue with Light Flow installed and even uninstalled. As in I also had the talkback with Light Flow removed.

There is likely a way to get yours working.you coukd try the methods above my recommendation. I havent tried one of the official roms but i may just to see how they made it.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MKJMKJMKJ:
i have searched in the forum but i couldnt find the answer to my problem

my phone: xperia play 2.3.4 r800a rooted and with unlocked bootloader

i installed xperia cwm from android market and now i want to install a custom rom

i saw this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447542 (cm9)

but i need to know if the cwm that i have on my phone will mess things or not?

how can i uninstall this "fake" cwm ?

is this rom run games smoothly?

another question:

i found an introduction for installing this for arc s:

HOWTO

on the beging have device conected to computer by USB

step 1 (on PC) 1.1 copy update-XXX-XXX-XXX.zip and GAPPS ADDON to sdcard
1.2 extract from update-XXX-XXX-XXX.zip the file called kernel.elf

step 2(on device) 2.1 - power off the device
2.2 - unplug usb cable
2.3 - put device in fastboot mode (volume up + power) - blue light on device

step 3 (on PC)
3.1 - flash new kernel "fastboot flash boot kernel.elf"
3.2 - reboot device "fastboot reboot"

step 4(on device) 4.1 - when FreeXperia Logo appears and amber light will be lit press several times volume key to enter recovery
4.2 - in recovery choose "INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD" and select update-XXX-XXX-XXX.zip (rom)
4.3 - in recovery choose "INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD" and select gapps-xxx-xxx.zip (gapps addon)
4.4 - wipe device (this is needed only if you come from another ROM, if you are upgrading an CM9 release this is not needed unless is specified)
4.5 - reboot device

will those introduction work for me?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calar714:
I would uninstall the CWM you got from the market and use the one in the thread. If you make a proper backup using CWM you don't need to worry about messing anything up because you can always restore from your backup. Just like magic :D

[LG Optimus 3D] Gavincol78:
Recently I updated to V21E from V21A to eliminate a few glitches known to GB but on both V21A and V21E I would get a message but I wouldn't get any notification sound although a slight vibrate works I can't go back to froyo because some of the apps I have require GB. When I reboot my phone I get a notification sound which is not even part of the range of notification sound and then when I try to change the sound disappears
[LG Optimus 3D] Gavincol78:
1 positive thing about V21E is my battery life on medium use is a good 20-24 hours
[LG Optimus 3D] Kasvinda:
I also had this issue.

People wont see this issue as its hardly recognizable..! For me this was a result of replacing stock recovery with cwm. (I can't confirm it 100%) However it happened only after that. So I reflashed v20E and removed the cwm. But I couldn't overcome ghost sms issue even aftr that. (but now its extremely rare)

Hit thanks if you like my reply..plz..

hi.

im having a ****ing serious problem with my sgm. the temperature rises often above 45.C like 50.C and when i listen music or surf the web via opera mini next 55.C.

my second problem is lag when I'm listening to music. it's ****ing annoying.

im currently on: CM7.2 RC2 baseband: xwks2 no oc cuz instability...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] simonekamikaze:
O.o 55°C ?? Wow, you can cook with your mini! Try to remove battey for 2 mins and restart phone... Or try another rom and check if the issue persist...

yeah 55.C but i remove the back panel/cover or wtf is that.xd so the temperature gets lower to 45/50... i use cm7 for half a year but i never had any issue just after updating to rc2... but when i reflash the rc1 or xwks7 rom the issue persist :(

JUst do like me take a towel spray some water drops on it and put ur phone on that towel and use it simple ....
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Demikos89:
I have the temperature problem too.

Mine rarely goes lower than 40°C.

Whenever I do something (no matter what, surf the web play games listen music or calling) it immediately goes up to 50 °C.

Although it doesnt lag or so. Ut works well. I just want to know if my phone could be damaged.

Ah I am on CM 7.2.0 RC 5.7 and dont overclock.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] domini99:
Hmmm. Weird. Mine stays at 30-35, by gaming 40.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] domcale:
My Galaxy Mini is overclocked to 787MHz on Official Cyanogenmod 7.2 RC3 ROM and i don't experience overheating problems so much, while surfing/multitasking its arround 45~50 degrees. Li-ion batteries, should not exceed 50 C, if they do it speeds up the aging process of the battery AFAIK. So try to do something about it, try to change the way you hold your phone or mosething like that. I know it sounds ridicilous but it might be worth a shot. After all, you should use your phone and don;t worry too much about the temps - you're running it on stock frequencies anyway :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Demikos89:
I also have Li-ion battery and it is still not 1yr old. It was produced on 24.05.2011.

I'd change my ROM to Cm7 RC2 or RC3 but I feel lazy to reinstall all my apps, personalize my homescreens and all this stuff. Until I face a serious problem with phone lagging or FC .... although I have to say my phone reboots from time to time especially when doing different things... like opening an app after app and installing app after app.... it has always happened to me in costum ROM's....
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Demikos89:
Switched to Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 RC1 mobtek and I must say temperature and battery live are much better. Even the performance is better too and there is more free space to install apps on SD via Install Manager without partiotioning SD card....

Go to http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/ and see the instructions to install it....
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] thousandecibels:
Try to flash stable rom like cm7 by mebitek and then check if the overheating is still occuring .

If persisting then flash stock via odin.

If still theN f****** go to the service care :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Weilian:
I got that rom but I'm usually running between 40 and 50. Never bothers me and does not really affect performance

(You'll have to complete the link at the beginning because I don't have enough posts to post links)

Anyway I'll have to assume that the batteries I posted are an analog to what you posted. That means that they wont have NFC capability. This may or may not be a big deal depending on what you want to use the phone for. Reading the comments it also seems like the batteries drain faster than the stock battery, but considering you get 2 + a charger this could still be a decent deal for $15
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tamanaco:
Lots of El Cheapo replacement batteries (shipped from HK) are already available at eBay. I still use HK-shipped backup batteries for my Captivate. They might not last as long as the originals, but they can get a few hours of juice when if your main runs out. They also take a "few" days to be delivered.

Edit: If the NFC component of the SIII is built-in in the battery... I doubt that these El Cheapo aftermarket will have NFC.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hbk19:
If anything, I would get something like this: link. But I'm going to wait until I have my S3, just in case the North American version requires a different battery. Which it shouldn't, but I'm a little paranoid.

Edit:

Maybe someone will come out with a high capacity battery with NFC built in? I hope so.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NZtechfreak:
All I can say is that you get what you pay for with batteries, good luck with these.

Going to wait for Anker

Sent from N7000 with paranoid 0.1
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hbk19:
This. Hopefully, the Anker batteries come with the NFC chip.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ronj1986:
Is the NFC always built into the battery. I tried to find out if that is the way it is on the Galaxy Nexus.....they both use the same NFC chip.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CZ Eddie:
NFC is built into the battery on at least the Galaxy Nexus and Skyrocket and Hercules, probably many others as well.

Most of the cheaper battery makers will advertise a higher MAH value than the battery is actually capable of.

The last 1800 MAH battery I bought off ebay (similar to some cheapy amazon) lasted only ~70% as long as my OEM 1800 MAH battery.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] lensgrabber:
NFC is not as important to me right now but I imagine in the next year or so it will be something I cannot live without. Well, once I program some and learn tasker ;)

That said... $20 for the Hyperion regular batteries and charger is a no-brainer. If nothing else, just to have backups. Still wishing for NFC even if they are a little more money.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] monkeyhihi:
I've had hyperion batteries for my Droid Charge, and they work quite well, but they seem to lose their ability to hold a charge faster than stock batteries. I've had them for about a year now and they started losing their charge around 7-8 months in.

Great deal though!

My issue would be even though I mostly charge batteries externally can it be charged in the phone without an error?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] komugi:
Batteries is one of those things I almost never get aftermarket ones for unless from a really reputable company, I've seen too many battery implosion/explosions due to bad QC. Great way to ruin a phone/device.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] erikk:
I agree with this. I am hoping that the OEM ones are available by the time I get my phone. Once reputable companies have alternatives that have numerous favorable reviews (especially NFC ones) I'll certainly consider them but for now I'm not going to take the risk.
