the ideal distance for face detection, i believe is the head outline thingy in the face unlock function

when you first set it up it told you where your head should go

I turned it on and its really nice. Works fine for me by the way. I tend to turn the screen off on my own anyway so I left the 30sec timeout as it is just in case I forget.

Here's a thing, I decided to test this feature with two of my friends and my girlfriend. It works for me and it works for both my GF and one of my friends but it wouldn't work for the other one. It simply couldn't recognize his face for some reason no matter what. He tried with open/closed eyes, moving them, blinking... it simply didn't work for him.

I noticed that at the moment being in a dim lit enviroment it tends not to work as well. The eye lights up, screen stays on for another sec or 2 then turns off. I assume that's probably because the front camera cannot really see my face as the phone is not producing enough light to make me visible...?

Edit: indeed just tested the front facing camera and its pitch black!

It's working almost flawlessly for me and it's very useful.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakedbread:
this is just my opinion (i'm not entirely sure if its correct, but from my personal experience with smart stay this is what ive concluded)

Smart stay "tracks" your face but all it is actually doing it looking for your eyes to blink

I tested this by just staring at the screen until the icon popped up and noticed the screen starts dimming.

I then tested the same scenerio by staring, but blinking a couple times. Bingo. Screen stays on

as a fyi, i also wear glasses and it works pretty much all the time (as long as youre blinking)

So if you think smartstay isnt working for you, try blinking next time when you see the icon pop up. It works for me - and i'm PRETTY sure thats how they developed this technology.

Just my 2cents

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bisonator:
my thoughts on Smart Stay so far...

Smart Stay works fine for me in well lit areas. Not so much in dim lighting. (I do wear glasses.)

Not really sure I find it that useful though. I can increase my screen timeout if I find its going off too soon. Also some apps e.g. Dolphin HD have an option to keep screen on indefinitely and then I can lock screen manually when I'm done.

Gotta wonder how much battery you actually save using a fast screen timeout and Smart Stay enabled (it uses the camera and therefore the battery) vs just an increased screen timout...

I LOVE my SGS3, don't get me wrong - but I gotta say, some of the swanky new features are a tad superfluous! ;)

I've noticed something, I angle ,y phone slightly which when looking at the camera app cuts off one of my eyes.

Remember the front facing camera is not centralised and you do need to adjust for that.

Look at your camera app, and use the front facing camera, can you detect your eyes?

Have you've come from an MDT ROM? i know that External SD Card dosen't work in AOPK and that the Tab only see's the Internal Memory. But again im not sure if that have anything to say at all.

Try wiping the device, if that dosen't help i would suggest making a full Re-stock so that the partitions are formatted in their original format.

Open the app and sign in/register (as far as I can remember you need to register a new account). Wait for an email to arrive and there is a link saying something along the lines of "Get extra space free". Follow enough steps in there and you're good to go.

[Off-topic] MissionImprobable:
Just an observation, not bagging on anyone, but literally 90%+ of the posts in their General section and General Jailbreaking sections were "This doesn't work," "Help Me with this," "This is broken," "What am I doing wrong?" etc. There were maybe two to three threads per page out of around 30 that were devs or users posting some tidbit or program or work-around.

Again, this is not only in the mods section, but also in plain old general iOS discussion. Kind of funny that the thing that "just works" doesn't really seem to. I know a big part of the limited reporting of iOS issues is that sites like CNET and such pander so heavily to anything Apple that it would never cross their mind to speak up about unsavory experiences, but seemed pretty interesting how many issues people really run into with iOS.

I also noted that it has to suck having so much difficulty doing things like creating full backup images of the phone or even just backing up all the data for easy restoration. When someone asked about where text messages are stored by the system what seemed to be experienced users were telling him to check Google for where individual assets were located and that it can be pretty difficult to track them down in iOS.

Just one man's musings.

I actually thought that iTunes (ugh) made a complete back up of the system on an iThing (at least it was an option)

Also, AFAIK Their big time devs focus mainly on jailbreak/unlock scenarios and then there are the Cydia devs....

I could be completely wrong about all of this as I would rather be hung upside down and stung by a thousand wasps before owning one of those.....devices.
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
No need to have backup images since iTunes backs up everything like contacts, SMS, apps + data and so on. If an iPhone fails it's easy to just hit "Restore" in iTunes and it'll reinstall the OS and then restore the backup so it's exactly like it was before you restored.

The shocking thing though is that very few people actually know about the restore button in iTunes. I've gotten a lot of questions from friends with iPhone's about these things.

- "OMG! My iPhone is doing this and that, i have to send it to Apple for repairs".

No you don't, and i then proceed with opening iTunes, connect the phone and hit restore. "Wow! What did you do?!". Kill me now.

I've also gotten soft bricked iPhone's in. Not as easy as just pressing a button in iTunes, but it only takes 10 minutes and it's up and running again.

Conclusion: iPhone people just aren't that technical. The same applies to most Android users, but with Android we do actually have some controll over things. If something seems wrong we can easily make a dump (stop laughing) and actually understand what's causing this/these problem(s).
[Off-topic] Babydollll:
So, what your saying is that I was only partially wrong?

:D
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
I'm not sure what you are, but you're not wrong :p
[Off-topic] MissionImprobable:
I think the deal with the backups was that certain issues came up if you only wanted to restore information to the phone vs resetting everything back like you would with a full Nandroid. It just seemed like every user found a new way to make things difficult despite half a page of stickies giving out about every seemingly-likely scenario. Half of the threads were people having major, major issues post-jailbreaking.

I was also a bit perturbed when I read their "Apple vs Android" thread. I understand that there are closed-minded people in the world but I swear most of them were on that forum and the arguments were just idiocy. One guy liked iOS better because all his apps are on his home screen, even if he has to go through screen after screen to find what he's looking for because they are in no particular order. He dumped on Android for having an alphabetized app drawer, saying it just didn't make sense to him.

My fault for even going on there, but it made me not want to live on this planet anymore =p

As I thought that this may be possible that there is already an theme for this, I thought I may ask, before I start making a theme and then hear from everybody that it already exists :p

Is there any white-colored ICS-theme for ICS? :D

Got the 4.0.4-port from Ray by Nickholtus so you know which ROM it is asked for :)

And for you who are curious why the heck I thought about a White theme for the phone is cuz it drains less battery at max light, easier to see the display in the sun-light (have had a couple of white themes before), and it looks more nice IMO, even tho I have a dark theme on my computer so it won't be to disturbing to sit up in the middle of the night :p

Is it like inverted from the black to white just so you get the "fesh" feeling of that it is actually ICS or is it MIUIs own stock-theme you mean?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] shalan:
Hi! I have a massive problem atm that I'm hoping to get your guys help on. My screen on my HD2 WP7 device is caput...not responding at all to any touch input. I know that this had nothing to do with the ROM (PDAimatejam Rom v8) but more the hardware itself (I believe that this is a common problem with old HD2's - ie. diffuser goes or something). Right now the only thing I can do is accept or reject an incoming call. I don't mind resetting the device but there are 2 SMS text messages that I desperately need to read.

Is there any way to access these via my computer using USB->microUSB, or if there is a utility that I can flash to it to allow me to access the device interface? If so, it will have to be something that I can flash as I cannot access the device interface at all.

Hopefully I can resolve this soon with your advice/help! Thank you in advance!

screen not responding? try pressing the call and power button alternating quickly and simultaneously. This works coz sometimes the digitizer is located at the bottom of the power button and gets stuck at times from pressure (like putting it in a tight pocket) and the green button puts counter pressure on the opposite side so relieve the pressure

Hi drmodify. Tried that as well but to no avail. I followed some advice I read up somewhere on XDA to press down hard just above the power button, in a way to kind of 're-seat' the digitizer (lol, I called it a diffuser in my op!). That actually did the trick, albeit temporarily. But managed to get my SMSs off the phone. Thanks anyway for the input!
[Galaxy S III General] viniturb0:
Hi,

While my iphone picks up email as and when they arrive, the gs3 doesnt have a Premium account service like the s2 had and one has to set the email frequency for it to check email manually.

The built in email app does not offer push on yahoo mail and corporate email on exchange.

It also doesn't set up corporate exchange accounts using google apps.

It only supports push for @gmail.com (not corporate gmail accounts using @ whatever.com using m.google.com as the server) and @hotmail.com accounts supports push on the native email app

This should happen automatically for each account like it does on the iphone, windows mobile and HTC.
[Galaxy S III General] DSA:
cool story...now what?
[Galaxy S III General] ba3cool:
Can anybody else confirm the OP? I'm waiting on a blue S3 to show up, I haven't yet taken the plunge. No Push-mail is a big bummer...
[Galaxy S III General] AndroidZ28:
Of course it doesn't check your email if you set it to "never" - that is what never means...

And for push you need to use exchange not IMAP...
[Galaxy S III General] viniturb0:
I disagree, the s3 should have a feature called push or fetch, when u ask it to check email every 5 minutes that means it is being done manually not automatically this is not how the iphone or windows phone works, on imap on an iphone it downlads the email once the server receives it that is called push on. Windows phone it downloads it as and when email arrives. What you re talking about it a setting where u ask it to check the email every 5 or 10 minutes that is not push. This eats battery like hell. On the sg2 u could set a permium account and it had push email but sadly the s3 doesnt have push email, yes i know about exchange but without exchange also it should push email which it doesnt so thats ane pic fail for the s3.
[Galaxy S III General] Toadeh:
What mail service are you all using? Push works fine for gmail, hotmail and any other corporate account.
