[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esist:
Just noticed today, in darkness the proximity sensor is visible as a faint, but distinct, red light on the phone when its active. Anyone else noticed this? Maybe mine has a faulty sensor.

If you activate the sensor, by making a call in darkness (or opening a text message, if you have direct call on) and looking above the sensor, do others have this visible light?

I've seen other people mention other models using near-IR as opposed to actual IR for the sensor, but I haven't seen anyone mention it for the S3 (which is surprising considering how popular it already is) which makes me think it could be just mine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guest69:
I am pretty sure it's not a fault, mine does it too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Proximity sensor uses infrared which is the same light your tv remote uses.

You can't see infrared but due to technical reasons there are always a few light particles emitted / reflected as visible dark-red light.

It's the same as with ultraviolet (darklight); you can't see UV but it still glows faintly dark-purplish.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esist:
Cool thanks. I thought so. Very relieved all the same. :D

It was more worrying when it seemed to be there all the time when the screen was on (I had a message open at the time!)... It didn't even occur to me it might be the proximity sensor, since I forgot about direct call which was obviously activating it.

Anyone know if there some advantage to visible ones? I've seen ones before that aren't. Are visible ones more sensitive? Or cheaper?

I know remotes etc. emit very small amounts of visible light (I remember my fascination at 12 when I found this out :p ). But this is a lot stronger than I've ever seen on a remote. Were it as weak as a remote, I probably wouldn't have even noticed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Hmm, usually non-visible IR should be less expensive since the wavelength is longer, however due to manufacturing it could still be slightly visible.

Near-IR could be more accurate since under direct sunlight you'll have tons of IR-light so the sensor could mistake it for your ear reflecting the light in certain conditions. Slight changes in the specutrum might prevent this from happening.

Does it really bother you? Because the proximity sensor is only on when you're on the phone in which case I usually keep it on my ear or in my pocket =)

[Edit]

Also, IR remotes should be quite a bit less light-intensive. They only need to pulse a light which the receiver captures while this one needs to illuminate your ear so the receptor can decide how far it is.

Compare it to holding a tealight candle to show others that you're there vs using a torchlight to illuminate the path for thm.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaisah:
My proximity sensor is lit up all the time. Even when the screen is off. I only just noticed it now and did a search on Google. Does it sounds like it might be faulty? It wouldn't have any need to keep it on all the time and it would drain a small amount of power right?

Do you have have the latest version of Viber installed? If so try uninstalling it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kikoexe:
do you have viber? if yes, then that's the one causing it.. the latest update has this bug..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaisah:
Oh, you're right. I force stopped Viber and the light went away straight away. Soooo, I kinda wanna keep Viber, will it damage the proximity sensor if it stays lit? Will it effect my battery life significantly?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kikoexe:
i dont know if it will cause damage.. but it will cause battery drain.. but not that much.. if you charge your phone at least once a day, then you should be fine.. and besides, a lot of people have already reported it to the devs, so im sure they will fix it in no time.. ;)

I recently had to swap the white HOX for a grey one. And I'm noticing something I don't recall with the prior phone.

Turn on phone.

From the main screen swipe to the furthest left or right screen.

Press the home button and watch the status bar as the screens scroll back home..

Question. As the screens scroll back to the main screen, during that time of movement, does your status bar turn black? Then return to the wallpaper color once screen has stopped moving?

Or as the s greens scroll back to home does your status bar retain the wallpaper color through the whole motion process?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MatneyX:
Phone Info:

Android version: 4.0.4

Baseband version: I515.10 V.FC04 / 1515.FC05 (From this thread)

Kernel version: 3.0.8-franco.Kernel-nightly-384GPU (from Franco Kernel Updater)

Mod version: liquid.toro.062412.025446

Build number: Liquid ICS v1.5 (From here)

Computer running Win XP Pro SP3.

This issue has been happening for awhile -- it first happened running BAMF Paradigm 1.2, after I flashed from Team BAMF's Kernel to Franco Kernel Milestone 3 (from the Updater, I believe), and using the above-listed radios. I have not updated the radios since I was running BAMF Paradigm, but I've updated everything else. Also, I have always tried to verify my checksums, but I'm sure I missed that step a few times along the way.

Issue:

When I plug my phone into my computer, if I've freshly flashed a new ROM, it will pop up as an Android Device (as expected). However, if I wait a few hours -- during which time I install APKs from the Play Store and the App store, not from a backup, and then I restore only app data from my backup -- when I plug my phone into my computer, it comes up as an unrecognized device and asks for drivers for devices INTF0, INTF1, and INTF2.

I have read that it could be related to my kernel, and I haven't tried flashing a stock kernel. I have also tried uninstalling all my Android device drivers from my computer, and while that fixed a problem I was having with a pesky G2, it didn't help anything with my GNex.

Otherwise, my phone is completely useable.

Any suggestions? Would a factory reset fix this?

Update: Solution found... Fast Charge was enabled, and now that I've disabled it, it works just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pskillz87:
Do you have fast charge enable?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MatneyX:
I did, and now that I've disabled it, it works just fine. Thank you. :D

You should have taken backup to sdcard or Google contacts sync. I'm afraid that you wouldn't get that number back after downgrade. Do you have the nandroid backup of blur ROM after you entered the number and before installing cm7, if so then restore your ROM and can retrieve your number.

[Blade General] matt4321:
Your best bet mate is to get into fastboot (should be doable since you're getting to the splash screen), flash a custom recovery and then a custom rom, although this does void your warranty, I think its worth it though. What android version was your phone on before the problems started?
[Blade General] Hellz0wn:
if he installs stock rom and unroots then it should be fine and he will keep his warranty
[Blade General] warrip:
Ehhh..

I dont quiet know how to do that :P

I was on 2.3.5 have 2gen stock rom

how do i get into fastboot then?
[Blade General] matt4321:
To get clockworkmod on, so you can flash your stock rom, which can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1353526

Download fastboot and adb files, grab them either from the android website but through the sdk, or just Google adb and fastboot files and you'll be fine.

Then boot into fastboot by turning your phone on with the volume up button held down. It'll stay at the splash screen, connect to the PC and it should install drivers automatically.

Download the recovery image by googling clockworkmod zte blade. You want 5.0.2.0, it's the latest.

In the command prompt change directory to where your adb and fastboot files are. Then type 'fastboot flash recovery *nameofrecovery*.img'. Then 'fastboot reboot'. Power off the device after and boot into recovery by powering on with the volume down button held. Then flash your stock rom.

Hope this helps, i know it could be better but I'm at a BBQ so on my phone and can't link stuff easily, if you need more help, i can do it tonight. Others I'm sure will help too

Hi Folks,

Iam currently running KingDroid v3 on my note with franco kernel 3.0.15 and would like to install Rocket Rom v7. I have kingdroid overclocked and is running very smooth and fast execpt it reboots every now and then (very rare). I am wondering if rocket v7 can be overclocked or would I need to install franco kernal after installing it?

As far as I know I would need to do the following to install Rocket Rom v7:

1 boot into CWM rocovery

2 factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvic cache

3 reboot recovery

4 install rocket rom

5 install superuser through cwm if I loose root after install

Did I miss something? Pls let me know.

5 full wipe (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe battery stats)

6 Flash the new rom

U should not loose root but if that happens on the first page of Rocket rom there is a file named cwm super su. Download that and flash it in recovery as you would with anyt rom and y should have root back

Hi guys,

I use Netflix a lot to watch movies etc. I noticed over the last 2 days now once I've been watching something for around 45 minutes the display freezes and the audio continues, if I fast forward or rewind it plays again for about a second then freezes the screen again with audio still playing. It doesn't matter if I forward to the beginning, end or start something else it just keeps freezing. I'm thinking that the phone is getting too hot or am I mad? If I let the phone settle down for an hour or so I can then watch again, however once again only for about 45 minutes then the screen freezes again.

Has anyone been watching stuff on Netflix for an hour or longer without having any problems, or maybe using any other forms of streaming video for long periods of times without having any issues.

[HTC EVO 3D] kajoshin201095:
Hello XDA Community,

as you may know our Evo 3D and sister devices (Sensation, XE, ...), well: generally snapdragon S3 devices had problems with Dungeon Defenders.

DunDef is a great 3D game (free, no ads) , which works perfectly on our devices until a certain point: it crashes.

Last time I tried to play it didn't even start, some weeks back I used a Sense 3.6 rom, where I could play for 15 Minutes perfectly.

Actually I am using an ICS ROM with Sense 4 (One S-Base).

Has someone tried to play it?

Many people said it happened because of the memory-managing in sense 3.0 ...

What are your experiences with the game on different roms.

This is a common problem, Sensation users and we have to stick together :-D

Well, one of my friends plays it perfectly on the one x, which also has Sense 4.

Is there any hope it will run, i think i will anyway try it in a few weeks, but currently i don't have enough time.

Well, maybe someone will try or has tried or can provide information about status on other roms.

THX IN ADVANCE:good:
