duhhhhhh

i said it activates every 5 seconds that's very different from active all the time or every second.

i just thought everyone has already noticed it that's why i went straight through and did not bother to detail it out, but since those two who posted after me certainly didn't know then i'll have to explain.

i have set my screen timeout to 15 seconds, smart stay (the eye) activates every 5 seconds to check if you're still facing the phone.

for those who set the screen timeout to 30 seconds, smart stay activates every 25 seconds.

for the rest of the timeouts, you all get the drift.

the reason for that is smart stay isn't only to keep screen on when you are looking at the phone like for example reading webpages etc

BUT ALSO TO TURN OFF THE SCREEN EARLIER THAN THE SCREEN TIMEOUT BECAUSE THERE'S NO USE KEEPING THE SCREEN ON WHEN YOU'RE NOT USING IT ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO SET THEIR SCREEN TIMEOUT TO 1,2 MINUTES OR MORE. SO IT SERVES TWO PURPOSES HENCE THE "SMART" TAGLINE.:victory:

smart stay activates at different intervals depending on what you chose for screen timeout.

i have set my screen timeout to 15 seconds, smart stay (the eye) activates every 5 seconds to check if you're still facing the phone.

for those who set the screen timeout to 30 seconds, smart stay activates every 25 seconds.

do yourself a favor and set your screen timeout to 15 seconds to see if i'm just telling a story or i'm telling it like it is before you post nonsense here.

then go tell yourself a story for your bedtime.

---------- Post added at 06:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 AM ----------

here i'll make it simple for ya.

smart stay guide for the lazy dummy.haha :victory:

obviously smart stay has to be on.

1. set screen timeout to 15 seconds.

2. lock the screen.

3. unlock the screen.

4. look at the phone then count 1 to 5 and you'll see the smart stay eye icon.

5. count 1 to 5 again then again you'll see the smart stay eye icon.

6. this time turn away the phone to the side enough that the front cam doesn't see your face but just enough that you can see the eye icon, and count 1 to 5 then again you'll see the eye icon ONLY DIFFERENCE THIS TIME IS THE SCREEN DIMS.

7. with the phone still turned away from your face, count 1 to 5 the eye icon appears THEN THE SCREEN FINALLY TURNS OFF.

now if yours doesn't work like that then maybe you have a FAKE SGS3 and it has DUMB STAY.

:victory:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Settle down mate.

Sorry, don't mean to hurt your feelings, but, nobody cares about your screen timeout settings.....

You should be more specific in your first post, not give an answer applicable to ONLY 1/6 settings! The answer you gave was only useful to those with 15 sec, but you didn't mention that.

For those using ALL other timeouts, the (edit: your) first post is wrong.

The OP was a general question, so the answer is that smart stay activates just before screen timeout. This is applicable to ALL settings.

End of story.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Jesus, I go for a shower and breakfast and I come back to this tirade of butthurt!

Like I said before, cool story bro, I don't give a **** about your 15 second timeout. Go have a cup of coffee or tea or something and have some "you time".

Smh....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
@ radeonxt

The activation of smart stay is relative to all timeout settings.

My tests (approx +/- 1 sec):

15 sec timeout: activation @ 5 sec & dim > again @ 12 sec > off @ 14 sec

30 sec timeout: activation @ 20 sec & dim > again @ 27 sec > off @ 29 sec

1 min timeout: activation @ 50 sec & dim > again @ 57 sec > off @ 59 sec

2 min timeout: activation @ 1:50 min & dim > again @ 1:57 min > off @ 1:59 min

Without me going any further, I hope you can see the pattern staring you in the face.

It's nothing about counting up to 15 secs etc, but smart stay activating just before timeout, whatever that may be.....

In all cases: activation at approx 10 & 2/3 secs before screen off. Not "at different intervals", you're just looking at the "glass half empty" not the "glass half full".

Also, it does not "turn the screen off earlier", but (as the results prove) always the same time before timeout, that is if the device hasn't been touched or smart screen doesn't detect the eyes.

There is no win here or (trying to) being smug, unlike your ": victory:" in your posts.

Keep it cool and factual. Cheers
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJayEss:
Well, interesting argument, but whether this feature is turned on or off, I'm not seeing the eye icon ever appear, and my screen is just switching off after the set time. And yes, I'm in good light, looking straight at the front camera.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
If your front camera works and you have enabled it (edit: smart stay) in settings >> software issue.

Two things to try:

1. Backup and factory reset

2. Upgrade your firmware to the latest version with Odin

Smart Stay has not worked on mine since the day I got it. Today for another unrelated problem I turned my phone off and pulled the battery out (this is the first time I've pulled the battery out since owning the phone) and put it all back together and magically Smart Stay is working for me now.

Go figure.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jsonger121:
well after letting the phone be out for a little while and giving the devs some time to work their magic. which is the best root method to date in your opinion? only reason for this is cause ive seen a lot of people having trouble with certain ways and i just dont wana make my phone a $600 paper weight lol. thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fastmikey1969:
Try zedomax method its fully reversible and doesn't flash a bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jsonger121:
well i wanted the best way to be able to flash roms. root, unlock bootloader, and flash recovery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bhint15:
Easiest way by far is just go to htcdev.com and unlock your bootloader. Flash TWRP and then wipe (if you don't mind losing data) and flash any rooted rom. This will let you nandroid your current build and most times you can flash any stock rom over your current and not lose your data (nandroid first.) One-click roots and such I have never trusted...easier to just flash a rooted rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] oscake:
1 click root
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jsonger121:
never really thought about doing it like that but thanks for the input. gonna check it out for sure!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] USMC retired:
Zedomax

Use Zedomax, I have seen some posts with people haveing troubles with the automated one, then when your all done rooting, and unlocking the bootloader, load "goo manager" from play store, that will put TWRP on the phone for you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Los Altos:

[Networking] luftrofl:
Are you trying to get an obsolete plan or get a data plan that's for dumbphones?

In either case, it's risky. Practically speaking, the former is impossible and the latter is dangerous as there's no guarantee you won't be caught when AT&T checks the IMEI.

If you want to save money, it's easier to just go prepaid on a MVNO that uses AT&T's network. Straighttalk is very popular (I don't use it but I've heard many success stories) for such cases - the only caveat is that "unlimited" data is not truly unlimited, as you're "warned" if you use "a lot" (there's no definite answer of what "a lot" is) of data. There's another thread in this forum about this plan if you want to do some more reading about it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
Just wondering if it's possible for me to overwrite certain APKs in a ROM zip with custom ones that I've found.

Specifically, the inverted/blue MMS and unlocked Exchange Email APKs to put into my AOKP zip. I'd like to be able to do this instead of having to do it post-flash.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lviv73:
Yes you can,i make custom roms with every rom like this,it really easy.Just use 7zip and replace them,just make sure they don't have different names,to be sure i usually delete old apk's first and then copy new ones instead of replacing them.

This what i do:

1 Add or replace apk's in system/app folder and delete any apk's i dont want,this improves speed and battery life.

2 Go to system/media folder and delete or replace any unwanted ringtones and delete system sounds.You can also replace BootAnimation,zip in there for custom boot animation.

3 (Optional) go to /system/frameworks folder and replace framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk to use a custom theme,just make sure its compatible with the rom yore using.Oh,and replace SystemUI.apk in system/app folder.

And BOOM you have your own custom rom ready to flash.If you need any more tips just ask.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gilbydakid:
Yeah I need a tip. Every time I've tried this I can't resign them.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lviv73:
Resign them?You don't need to resigh them,just add the apk and that's it.

NOTE:

If you modify some apk files they will no longer install from /system/app folder and you need to resign them,but if you did not modify apk file you're good.

While rarely(about 5% of time) some apk's will not install from system/app folder.

Strange thing is that if apk wont install,if you modify it and not sign it it will install,it will install unsigned but will not install signed!

So try it,if signed apk wont install just unsign it(mod it with 7zip) and see if it does and vice versa.

But 95% of apk's will work in system/app folder with no signing or unsigning needed.Just place the apk in system/app folder and you're good.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivg86:
notecore is stable and give a day long battery and gives you custom bootanimation+15 toggle+call recording and much more.it is double check for emmc brick.

speedmod is superstable and give a good battery life and gives you custom bootanimation+15 toggle+call recording and kills useless things.

NOTE-

1. Dont use oc as it will heat up your device,better to go for std.

2. downgrade to pre-rroted gb rom,dont take a risk although they are safe to wipe,but still first downgrade.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orobin:
Hello,

I made a lot of tests.

today, here is my config :

samsung ICS DDLPA. rooted, with kernel SpeedMod K3-11.

with stock kernel, I had good battery life.

with SpedMod kernel, I have better battery life.... when Note is sleeping.

I also had installed Lightning launcher. is better or not ? difficult to tell the difference it is slitghly the same.

to be honest, when I read a movie, listen music, go on internet, it use a lot of battery... which seem to be normal.

today, with medium use, I can have 3 days of battery.

with more use of the note, I have 2 days of battery.

Medium use is : no video, New republic (RSS reader) for around 1 hour, several SMS, some phone call, Internet (around 30 minute), one or 2 time google play, 1 hour reading an ebook in the night (black background, white text)

more use : Add Music, more internet, time spend in tweak the parameter of my launcher.

without SpeeMod kernel, I could lose around 15% to 20% of time listed above. no much.

I hope it helps.

Olivier

bluetooth drains like crazy, as well as playing games, so yeah. Youre better of using normal wire headset.

4% per ten minutes is 24% per hour, so approx 4 hours screen on time is actually pretty good, very good even. Cant believe that with bluetooth on.
