[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickkyboy36:
surprised you're all complaining about this. It works almost everytime for me, even if im looking at the screen from a slight skew
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtsclement:
I too have been disappointed in this feature. Doesn't seem to work at all.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bam88:
Does not work for me either. :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirdroid:
I know most people already know this, but smart stay has to be turned on in settings-display. May be just double check if it's on?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tridibsahabd:
Did any of you try it in landscape mode? when i'm reading pdfs in landscape, most of the times smart stay fails.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the4finger:
I find this very weird to hear everyone having so much trouble with this, me and my friend have not had one drama and it's been awesome. All i did was juts make sure it was turned on in the motion settings and it works a treat!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrewVL:
It doesn't work on me as well :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RAISSI:
I've tested and seems to work about 70pc of time. It has definitely failed too..... But the little eye icon has shown too and it has kept the screen on.... I'd say failures have been a mix of bad/odd angle held and lighting...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Works flawlessly for me. But I've got eyes like this:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongylad28:
Same here, not always perfect, but near perfect, had a few occasions where its let me down though, would be good if it was perfect every time, maybe with an update.

It works flawlessly for me too, the only time it's failed on me was in pitch-black conditions and that's not exactly surprising.

Hasn't worked for me yet. No matter what the conditions.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radeonxt:
google is your friend to see that smart stay utilizes camera.

http://techie-buzz.com/android/isee...rt-stay-feature-to-other-android-devices.html

http://www.trustedreviews.com/samsung-galaxy-s3_Mobile-Phone_review_s-voice-and-smart-stay_Page-4

smart stay uses the front cam to detect if the eyes are facing front or not.

open cam, then switch to front cam, if your face is dark in that front cam because you are in a room that doesn't have good lighting then smart stay won't work as advertised.

go to a room where there is good lighting, then do the same thing with the front cam and see if you can see your face. then test smart stay.

to test, you have to set screen timeout to 15 seconds because 1 minute or more is too much for you to notice the eye icon of smart stay.

once you've set screen timeout to 15 seconds

1. lock phone then unlock it don't touch buttons or screen and count to 5seconds.

2. look at it and count 5 seconds, the eye will show up. the phone won't dim.

3. then this time, rotate the phone away from your face but just enough where you can see the eye then count 5 seconds, the phone will dim.

- after another 5 seconds if you face the phone, it will brighten the display.

- or if you still are not looking at the phone after 5 seconds, then it will turn off the display.

btw, the interval for using the front camera as a sensor differs for every setting of screen timeout.

as i've said in a related thread before, smart stay serves a dual purpose.

one is to not turn off display when for example you are reading an e-book etc.

second is to turn off display way earlier than the set screen timeout thus saving battery.

some of you like me may have asked yourselves this, smart stay might be counter-productive since it uses the front camera right?i too have thought of that but the answer is this, using the front camera as a sensor for at least two seconds at even 5 second intervals won't use much battery compared to the screen to continue being on despite it being unused for the minute or more because the screen timeout hasn't been reached yet.

It works fine, no problem

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shami_n:
Doesn't seem to work for me.

It flashes the eye icon, but in next 2 sec it turns off the screen.

I thought the eye icon says that it detected eye, but is it flashing to say it didn't detect eye and goes off in next sec ?

[HTC EVO 3D] tommason1968:
I'm having to come over via insurance and the 3d is what I get. I have a few questions. Is obtaining root on the 3d a difficult process, as doing it on the 4g was simple. Ive noticed that there are 2 different models. CDMA or the other one which one is the one being given out. And overall how has everyones experience been with this phone. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
If your hboot is 1.4, you can root with Revolutionary. If it's 1.5, you will have to use the hboot downgrade method, found in the stickies.

If you're on Sprint, you have the CDMA version.
[HTC EVO 3D] dr.chucky:
It isn't hard at all, if you understand adb. You can root with revolutionary on hboot 1.4 or downgrade if you have hboot 1.5. If you dont want to downgrade try the juopunutbear tool for s-off. It work the first try for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] ncfastls1:
Welcome bud, I also got an evo 3d through insurance. Although I think the 4g had a better camera and I miss the looks, the 3d is a lot faster and has a much better screen. I've learned to love it.

Easiest way to do things is follow the htcdev.com unlock process to unlock the bootloader. Install superuser of course, then get 4ext recovery. There is a free version but I would highly recommend getting the paid version as I think it includes the app that lets you control everything from outside recovery. This has a smart flash feature for those who're left with s-on from the HTC unlock and hboot 1.5. It will let you install kernels like you normally would through recovery.

Only problem is, with any sense 3.6 ICS Rom you will have to use chads HTC leak kernel or else you will get boot loops. However 3d and USB mount won't work but you can always mount through recovery.

If you don't want to deal with all that, you can try the wire trick method to get s-off on hboot 1.5 so you can use the stock kernel on sense 3.6. It's stickied here in development. Hope all that helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
Don't misinform. I'm using stock HTC 3.0.16 kernel. Boots perfectly.

EDIT: Didn't read that last part. The reason people were getting boot loops, I believe, was the outdated adsp.img.
[HTC EVO 3D] ncfastls1:
Looks like you don't have hboot 1.5 and are s-off...that's why. I was going under the assumption that every 3D is coming with hboot 1.5, and has for a while since I got mine back in november with 1.5.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
So did they finally run out of the og evo? They are replacing them with 3d's
[HTC EVO 3D] scoot0073:
Yea I got my 3D 6 mths ago for replacement for the 4G.

Welcome to 3D land. I've been happy with mine and still love this phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] VictoriousShooter:
I think so.

But what I think is funny is that sprint still sells the og, but not the 3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
Funny. They must be handing out refurb 3d's
[HTC EVO 3D] jamac31:
The thing about the 3d is that its a way better phone than 4G. Except for camera of course. But I think all the 3d's come with S-on and H-boot 1.5. HTCDEV really helped me out. When u root, try WarmTwoPointThree ROM. Even faster loadup time and comes with beats audio
[HTC EVO 3D] tommason1968:
Thanks for the feedback.. Im not going to lie. I love my ole evo but the last time I dropped it Did something to the Battery. I have a 3500 ex battery that if in the phone it will shut off every 10 to 20 mins. that and the charging port is failing. At least I get another HTC.

I kept my phone on charging and watched a movie. After the movie got over I noticed that my phone drained its battery rather charge itself. I thought that the quad core suck battery while playing videos. I switched the power saving mode on later. It still didn't charge. I then thought that there is something wrong.. I then switched wifi off with power saving enabled and data off.. and then locked the screen and slept thinking it'll charge up by morning. I woke up just to find out that my phone didn't charge at all. And the processor was awake all the time. I've attached a screen shot. Someone please help me.

[General Questions and Answers] MartynC:
Guys, Help, I get to No 3 of the instructions listed below, the box disapears and nothing else happens, any tips on how to over come the problem, keep the suggestions simple please :D

1. FLASH MAGLDR TO YOUR DEVICE

The Original MAGLDR Thread by Cotulla is *HERE*

NOTE1: LEO512 and LEO1024 are both supported

NOTE2: MAGLDR doesn't replace OSPL/HSPL. It runs in the chain after. So it's safe to install and remove it

NOTE3: You can flash between 1.11, 1.12 and 1.13 versions on Magldr without losing your NAND Rom

1. Synch Phone with PC in Windows Mobile!!! It has to be connected to activesync or WMDC via USB cable

NOTE: As an alternative method to activesync you can restart your phone in Bootloader Mode, then connect the usb cable and wait until 'usb' appears in the bottom half of your phones screen

2. Browse to the folder you extracted your Magldr Package files to on your pc, right click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and select Run as Administrator

3. Tick the box to confirm you are aware of the risks and select 'Next'

4. Tick the box to confirm you have followed the preperation steps and select 'Next'

* The program will now check the usb connection *

5. Select 'Update'

6. Verify the image you will flash (it should say 2.00.000.0) and Select 'Next'

7. Read the process list and Select 'Next'

8. Your phone will enter BootLoader Mode and the progress will goto 100%

9. Your phone will now Reboot. Congrats, you just flashed MAGLDR.

NOTE: To Enter MAGLDR Menu Screen after installation, Long Hold the Power Button when resetting the phone and the menu will appear
[HTC Sensation] shadow25:
Hello guys, I can't find anywhere the RUU in question and I wanted to ask you of the comunity if someone can get this RUU, or directly the stock rom, this is the description of the RUU:

Android 4.0.3

sense 3.6

software version 3.32.165.11

kernel 3.0.16

radio 11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2

thanks ;)
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
It's quite difficult to get that RUU.

If you are S Off, change your CID & try flashing some other RUU
[HTC Sensation] shadow25:
I know but having just bought this phone, if I were to bring in warranty then I would return it to stock rom
[HTC Sensation] shadow25:
Or even having the original ROM and having only unlocked bootloader and installed a recovery, I could make a nandroid of the rom and if I remember correctly I should get the same end result, ie the cell to its initial state, right??
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Nandroid doesn't backup firmware.

You can however restore the NANDROID backup, then manually flash the recovery through fastboot.

If all of this works out fine, then you need to flash the locked Hboot & radio (can be taken from any RUU) manually.
[HTC Sensation] shadow25:
Thanks a lot for the tip ;) but with the ruu would be much simpler and straightforward
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexwick:
this was mentioned in another thread... just didnt want to hijack the thread so i post it in a new one...

So, i never gave any insurances for phones a big thought... if you think, that I had plenty phones, and none of them got so damaged, lost, thrown in the water... that I was worried about insurance...

I mean you pay depending where about 10$ per month (2 years 240$) so if you just in case can get your phone replaced and pay another 100$ deductable... so in the end i pay 340$ to be sure I could have a replacment phone... now in other words...if i say the phone is worth 600$ that would mean that every 2nd person would need to replace there phone so it makes sense for a consumer to buy this... really every 2nd person? still it seems to be popular in these forums...

I mean yeah i had a display break from one of my phone some time back went to the store ordered a new display 100$ done... here i would have still overpaid 200$ so I don't quite get it... but I do have an open mind to be convinced ;)

My example is absolutely simplified... and they offer repair services as well... I understand, but still...

Am i just talking good care of my stuff? so that i dont worry about this so much ? just wondering...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fearbasel04:
I think of it like this do I have in pocket over 500 to replace my phone nope. So ten bucks a month is easier when I do need replacmet and pay 100. Second is piece of mind, I did a few replacements and fixes which is good. In the end sprint and insurance wins. The thing that bugs me was a few years back the amount of fraud going on and that's why it gets more expensive when it comes to insurance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
This is a good example why I don't have sprints TEP. It's a big rip off. I personally like using best buy black tie protection. I paid $170 for 2 years it doesn't have a deductible it is cheaper than sprints TEP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
I personally think it's a waste of money. If I drop my phone on the sidewalk or in the toilet, I'll suck it up and get a cheap phone off Craigslist until I can save up for a replacement. I'd rather that than spend that much money a month on insurance. Besides, don't you all put a few bucks into an emergency fund every month anyway?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ImaWinRAR:
People say just be careful with your phone and you won't need insurance and if you can't do that then get ibsurance. Sure that's a good point, but there's no way I can watch out for it every day nor do I want to pile up money for insurance so small investments for quality cases and screen shields do that job for me for much less than paying insurance a month, so now I only have to worry about it for exceptionally dangerous days (camping, swimming, etc) which is easy if you remind yourself how important your phone is and how crazy it'll be without it. Living like this, I've never broken a phone.

But that's just me. I like someone else's idea, instead of investing your money in insurance where you never get it back, put it aside as a "phone" funds for yourself at the same rate this way you can keep your own money if you don't use it. You'll be paying more for the replacement, but if you generally don't break phones you'll be saving more money than you spend if you don't break it the next time (easier said than done, but I did say "if you generally don't break phones")

Basically, insurance is for people who either:

1) want to throw away money

or

2) break phones often (2+ times within one 2-year agreement)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Personally I don't think insurance is a bad idea but I do think sprints TEP structure is a total ripoff. Looking at a few EVO LTE on Ebay they're already going for under retail and I've seen a few open box sell for $450. I could only imagine what our phones would sell for in a couple of months. These phones will be so affordable soon rendering TEP a total ripoff if one had to pay a $200 deductible.

As mentioned, you'd be getting ripped off to pay that much for a replacement now that Ebay is stocked up and people are looking ahead to the SGS3.

But, hey, at least we're not being forced by anybody to carry phone insurance. Yet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PaulHBK:
What are you talking about?! EVO LTEs are not going for low on eBay. They are auctioning for no less than $500 and "buy it now" options mostly around $600 and ABOVE. Don't spew "information" that doesn't truly benifit your point...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:
I think the bottom line here is if you want phone insurance, get phone insurance. If you don't, then you don't. It's that simple. However, I kinda find it interesting that a lot of people say hey I don't need phone insurance but are the same people that get insurance on electronics. I know it's much cheaper and there's no deductible but if you are gonna be a stickler then be one 100% of the time. Insurance is there for those that wanna be proactive and have a peace of mind at the end of the day. Think of how much money we throw away paying car, home and renters insurance without ever putting in a claim? I know all these things are mandatory but honestly we waste thousands upon thousands upon thousands for those things. However, it's the peace of mind knowing that if you smash your car up, your home gets burglarized or catches fire, you'll be covered and so will your valuables( if you pay that extra $200 a year or more for that). If these things didn't carry mandatory weight, would we have car or home insurance? It's the same question to ask yourself when looking to purchase phone insurance( minus the mandatory part). I carry the TEP insurance because it protects me against EVERYTHING! I know there is a deductible but it works for me. I've heard horror stories about BBs Black Tie Protection. Yeah there is no deductible but what you have to go through to get your phone fixed is not worth the $94 you'll save vs the Sprint plan and in the end you end up getting a refurbished phone anyways. That's like saying I'll go to Joe Schmoe to get my car fixed because he is cheaper than the dealership but end up getting your car back with more problems than you started out with. I just say go with what you like. In the same breath, you can't ridicule or belittle someone for being proactive imho.

Second Palm Pre died and stopped turning on... Free new or "like new" replacement 2 business days

Evo Shift died and stopped turning on... Free new or "like new" replacement 2 business days
