The app you want to use is Custom Auto Brightness by Dmitry Matuzko. It lets you set brightness levels based on your light sensor and has the option to use screen brightnesses lower than the programmed limit without using overlays. Obviously you won't be able to go lower than the hardwares limit, but in most cases the manufacturer sets the software limit much higher than the hardware limit.

Onibabar UpdateUpdate

Thanks for posting this thread! I don't even use a "screen filtering" app BUT I was having the same issue were my INSTALL BUTTON was no longer working, and because of this thread I now knew at what sort of 3rd party apps to start looking at. At first I thought it was the ROM I was on, then I thought it was only on 4.2.2 ROMs since it happened on more then one of my setups, and finally, I thought it was a Mod I always use, that gives my phone inverted apps. In the end though, it turned out to be the latest update to the Onibabar app from the Play Store. Its a app that places a battery bar on your screen and the latest update allows it to be positioned going down on either the right or left side of the screen, in addition to the top or bottom. So whenever its set to go on the left or right side, it disables the INSTALL BUTTON when attempting to install an app from a file explorer...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sethropf:
So, due to some screw ups on AT&T's part, I managed to upgrade to an S3 from a Skyrocket for free... and I love it. However, I seem to have an issue and I am not sure if I need to return the phone or not.

Whenever I play music I have copied from my PC to the SDCard, I hear clicks and pops constantly. Too narrow down what the issue might be I have done the following:

- Played the music through the speaker, clicks and pops present.

- Played the music over bluetooth pairing to my car stereo, clicks and pops present.

- Played the music over an audio cable plugged into AUX input on my car stereo, clicks and pops present.

- Played the music through the included eaarbuds, clicks and pops present, BUT only in the left earbud.

- Played the music with google play app, and the included music player, clicks and pops present.

The music doesn't have this issue on my PC, and the music is stored on the same external SDCard that was in my Skyrocket. The Skyrocket had no issues at all. Obviously the problem isn't with the headphone jack, since it happens over bluetooth as well. Also, It seems odd to me that it would be only the left earbud.

Has anyone had a similar issue? Anyone have any suggestions/ideas?

Thanks for any help in advance!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] notshaneo:
Sounds like a hardware malfunction. I'd take it to a local COR store and exchange it, shouldn't be an issue
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jebise101:
+1, but you might want to try a factory reset just for kicks and may be reflash stock firmware? maybe OTA updates?

Also [FIX] Pops and crackles in headphone output.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] notshaneo:
There is an ota out for a sound fix but I didn't have that issue with mine before hand. To be safe, switch it out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Death&co:
I would go exchange it personally. If you just got it, it won't be a problem. Which color did you choose?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sethropf:
I went with the white. I like it a little better than the blue (no idea why) and the red wasn't available yet.

Exchanging will be a little more of a hassle than just going to a store since I got it shipped to me and dealt exclusively with them over the phone. I think (I could be wrong) that means I will have to do the exchange process over the phone as well.

Thanks everyone for the responses so far, really appreciate the input.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sethropf:
Ok, another test.

I downloaded intune and tried out a few music stations, no clicks and pops at all...

Maybe I should reformat my SDCard and try starting from scratch.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ziizy:
It would be a bit of a hassle, but luckily they send the phone first then when you have your new one you can send the old one back, makes it bearable! :thumbup:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] notshaneo:
If it was purchased from AT&T directly you can exchange at a corporate store with no problems at all. Saves the hassle of shipping and no restocking fee since it's defective.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sethropf:
Yep. Stopped at the store today, no worries if I need to trade it in. However, I want to try a new SDCard first. I formated the old one last night and copied music back onto it. It had the same problem, BUT different songs had the clicks and pops. That sounds an awful lot like an SDCard going bad to me. I picked up a new one and I am copying music onto it now. We shall see what happens.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FlounderFX4:
Any luck with new SDcard?

I've had same issue with mine from Telus since the day I got it. Playing music from Play Music and samsung player both clicked and popped, but youtube was fine.

I tried a "soft boot" (power off, battery out) as Samsung suggested then a factory reset and the problem is still there.

It seems like a software issue, but if others haven't had the problem with same software, could a batch have slightly different hardware that is conflicting?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] monsterofmen:
I also have this problem. Unfortunately, I got my phone off Craigslist. However, in my case, Poweramp does not show any of these problems through the headphones or the speaker. I'm not sure why this is but they have a trial if you want to try it out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FlounderFX4:
I tried that as well and it was still there. The only place I didn't hear it was Youtube.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FlounderFX4:
After doing a soft reset followed by a hard reset as suggested from Samsung. I got fed up and returned it to Futureshop for another one that I tested first to see that it didn't have this issue.

Must be a bad batch of them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wataytay69:
Similar issues here. Charging and using Aux causing a whining, popping, and cracking noise. When you unplug the charger the noise goes away.

Hope they sort this out soon. Really don't wanna have to exchange if I don't have to.

Never had this issue on either of my past iPhones.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bfleischman:
Did you reformat the SD card when you moved it from the Skyrocket to the GS3. This can sometimes cause issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mike123475:
Are you stock everything?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wataytay69:
I'm running the latest OTA from at&t rooted and using TWRP recovery. Did not test before the root.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyt3rry:
I keep trying to watch videos by my screen dims in stages then goes off anyone have this problem? My nexus s doesn't do this
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharliesTheMan:
What happens if you go to settings/display and set the display sleep timer to never? Does it change anything? Sounds like maybe an app setting issue not forcing the tablet to stay awake.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyt3rry:
I was thinking that it seems to have stopped, i just want a few otas to hit the 7 and help fix this beautiful device.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electricview:
***Nevermind This post. I figured out why this is happening. It was becuase 'use vertical swip to change to symbols' was ticked and apparently just a micron swipe is trigging this on my phone, i type too fast for this option, Turning it off has seemed to fix my problem.****

This is a wierd topic i'm sure, I'm wondering if anyone else ever gets ghost hits on their screen when typing with the on screen keyboard.

I use the regular built in keyboard, no custom rom, no root, nothing, and it seems like 1 out of every 3 or 4 messages i'm typing my keyboard will randomly switch to the symbols, its annoying as hell and I cant figure it out.

You might think "He's probably hitting the key while typing" but its in the lower left corner, and sometimes it will happen when my left hand isn't even typing, i'll be going to hit the I key with my right thumb and BAM i'm in symbols now... I dont know if its exactly the same key every time I cant seem to quite reproduce the problem, it just randomly happens and its irritating.

I'm wondering if there could be some kind of link to the screen protector causing this or not? It's a clearvue screen protector.. I've also noticed when playing around with the screen, that sometimes I can get my fingre sooo close that it actually detects a response, and my finger hasn't even touched the screen yet! IS there some sensitivity thing i can adjust or something? cuz i dont know whats up with this wierdness...

Anyone else?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sanjsrik:
So, I bought two not so expensive cases from the following company:

HD Accessory http://www.hdaccessory.com/servlet/StoreFront

Let's not go into the fact that they emblazon that they ONLY sell Apple stuff all over the top of their website. Their loss if they can't figure out that they sell other stuff.

I ordered the following two cases:

SAMSIII-A2-REV-PURPLE-14414 Armor Kickstand Hybrid Case for Samsung Galaxy S3 (Purple) $8.95 $8.95

http://www.hdaccessory.com/servlet/the-10901/galaxy-s-iii-hybrid/Detail

and

SAMSIII-E3-ASTRONOOT-YELPUR-19037 Astronoot Multi-Layer Hybrid Case for Samsung Galaxy S3 (Yellow Purple) $7.95 $7.95

http://www.hdaccessory.com/servlet/the-11545/samsung-galaxy-s-iii/Detail

I'll review both separately:

Now, mind, they're completely different cases. Never mind about the colors. I like the colors. Yes, fine, make fun, I like yellow and purple. Think what you will.

The first has a kickstand, a had inner shell, (think Kraken, think WOW what a ripoff of Kraken for only $9), with a soft outer skin (think Incipio). The kickstand seemed cool, a way to prop up the device while at work so I can see stuff without having to peer down at the device.

You know what I DID NOT realize until I got the cases in the mail? How do you charge something that stands upright when the charging port is at the bottom? I tried it. It had to sit on the edge of my desk where I was worried that any moment it would fall off if I knocked the desk at all. Yes, I know what you're thinking, why not stand it sideways. I tried that to ABSOLUTELY no avail. It kept falling over.

The skin is so slippery that I dropped it every single time I picked it up. I mean come on folks, don't make a case that is so slick it's not worth holding. Ridiculous. This one needs to go back.

The second case is a little better. I've used it all day and it's fine. purple inner soft skin, yellow hard outer skin. The best I can say for this is meh. I think I'm back to my Incipio that I bought in the VZW store when I got the device.

Personally, either one is not worth the money I spent on them, DEFINITELY NOT the first.

YMMV.

I have that first case you reviewed or one that looks identical i got on ebay. I dont have a problem with having it stand up in portrait or landscape. I agree the case is a little slick tothe touch. On the plus side, i dropped it yesterday, one of those time stands still- slow motion drops, and it survived unharmed

The output says 5.1V 2.1A

While the the Gnex charger says

Input 0.15Hz 0.15A

Output 5.0V 1.0A

Will it be fine for the Gnex battery?

Any harm on doing this?

BE MORE CAREFUL PEOPLE

So I was perusing Google looking for info on a program by its filename and came across a interesting thing. Some people have complete TB backups synced to servers that are publically available and indexed on Google. I recommend anyone that uses said feature to double check their security.

With these backups anyone has full access to your data including

account details and passwords

contacts list

SMS

emails

really every piece of data on your data partition

some included the apk's which could mean inadvertant piracy server

One had a more complete phone backup including nandroid backups and a synced sdcard
[Android General] kilometers4:
Source?
[Android General] shadowofdarkness:
I am the source of this info I found them by chance on Google.

What kind of servers do you refer to? Something like Dropbox or someone's own personal server? Please be more specific. Thanks.

[Motorola Droid X2] CrazyLikeGollum:
See my thread in the Dev section for downloads and Instructions: [ROM][AOKP][PORT] AOKP for the DX2 and the MX2 [8/4/12]

I have been working on an AOKP port for the Droid X2 and the Milestone X2. It's a port of the milestone 6 AOKP build available for the Atrix 4G (made by Th3Bill), using DzK's CM9 Alpha 5 as a base. Thus far everything seems to be running smoothly. I got it to boot after probably a good half hour of playing with the resolution in an AOKP animation I found over on RootzWiki.

I ran into some problems with the phone app refusing to show up, but eventually googled it and found that it was the modded contacts apk doing it. It still has a few things I should probably iron out such as some minor graphical glitches on first boot, and the section in settings for the 4G data crashing the settings app. In my probably fifteen hours of testing this out on my MX2 I've had one random reboot, everything else seems to be about where CM9 Alpha 5 is in terms of stability.

Anyway my point in posting this is: is there anything anyone would want me to add? Like a cool wallpaper, a cool theme, or even some cool mods. For example, I personally like the soft keys with the hard keys remapped to music controls that can be found over in the dev section. That specific mod should be left out, but is there anything you've seen somewhere that's for the DX2 or the MX2 or even a universal mod that you guys think would be nifty to have preinstalled? I've seen that there's at least a nearly fully functional version of Google Now for ICS, would anyone want that added in?

Please note that I take no credit for anything used in this project. All I'm doing is combining files to make something I think will be cool. If in the future you feel the urge to praise someone, praise DzK, Th3Bill, or any of the other developers I may or may not use stuff from.
[Motorola Droid X2] dark_system:
awesome, i will be watching to see how this goes. Good Luck.
[Motorola Droid X2] Omega360:
I know of a feature that you could investigate. Having 1% battery increments on the battery indicator.

I'll be watching this closely, if you need a guinea pig I would be willing to help :p
[Motorola Droid X2] 754boy:
Yeah man, I second this. Would love to see 1% increments too.
[Motorola Droid X2] CrazyLikeGollum:
I'll see what I can do. Wasn't there something like that for blur over in the dev forum? Might have to take a look at that.
[Motorola Droid X2] CrazyLikeGollum:
hmm...it might already be there, just need to wait for my battery percentage to drop to confirm.

Edit: Or maybe not, just played music full blast through an unpowered speaker for a good 10 minutes, didn't drop one percent. So either I'm getting incredible battery life or it's still at 10% increments...well back to work.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
i believe either in the systemui.apk or framework-res.apk youll hafta set it up to show battery increments of 1%, but i couldnt tell you if its within either of those or another apk. youll hafta google it.
[Motorola Droid X2] CarlosBattousai:
Wait what is this about 4G data? The DX2 doesn't have 4G because it doesn't have the hardware for 4G.
[Motorola Droid X2] dark_system:
The atrix has 4G. I think he is talking about a problem with the port because of that.
[Motorola Droid X2] CrazyLikeGollum:
Yeah, the Atrix has 4G and the settings for it show up here but do not work because we do not have 4G.

In the way of the 1% battery I think I got it (at least while not charging), but I can't check yet because I tried to just replace framework-res.apk and it didn't like it when I renamed the old one before copying over the new one...so sbf'ing now and will check after I flash my updated zip.
[Motorola Droid X2] CrazyLikeGollum:
Okay, I got 1% battery working, as long as it's left on the default battery icon option in settings.

On a slightly different note why does this forum have a requirement of 10 posts before you can post external links? I still need four posts before I can post links to this thing.
[Motorola Droid X2] dark_system:
Well I want a download link so reply to all of my post, or go to general hangout bs thread and post about your day. Lol
[Motorola Droid X2] CrazyLikeGollum:
I may not be able to post a link yet but there's now a wholesome copy/past-able link-substitute in the OP.
[Motorola Droid X2] dark_system:
Downloading now will flash and report later.

Do I need to flash ics gapps with this?

I hope this doesn't kill my phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] CrazyLikeGollum:
You do need to flash the ICS GApps.

Oh and forgot to mention you should wipe /data, /cache, and /system and dalvik-cache prior to flashing, and wipe dalvik and fix permissions after the flash as well. I'm not sure if those last two are necessary but I always do it out of habit from my old phone and I'm not sure if that was affecting the generally good results I was having.
[Motorola Droid X2] dark_system:
Thanks, I usually wipe the big three anyways. What does fix permissions do? It won't hurt anything if I do it, even though I might not need to?
[Motorola Droid X2] CrazyLikeGollum:
Fix permissions shouldn't hurt anything. If you running some special mod that requires special permissions in /system than it can mess with that mod but other than that I have never heard of it causing problems.
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
(Here you go, get one more post in) What are the advantages of AOKP opposed to say CM9 or even MIUI?

Edit: and if this is even semi stable and working shouldn't it be moved on over to And Dev section?
[Motorola Droid X2] CrazyLikeGollum:
AOKP is actually very similar to CM9, based on it in fact, the major difference there is that AOKP has a few more customization options in it. It has a whole section in settings called "ROM Control" through which you can change a whole slew of things. Most of those things are related to the interface but there are a couple of sections with some cool performance tweaks, like you can set custom values for the sd card speed tweak, you can have it zip-align unaligned apk's at boot, fix permissions at boot and other things. AOKP also has some other performance tweaks set up that are integrated into the system.

MIUI I haven't actually used on this phone, or ever on ICS, but as I understand it MIUI is more about looks and being able to theme it than it is about performance. AOKP and CM9 are more centered around providing great performance with an interface that is simple and clean. MIUI is much more flashy. It's also much easier to theme MIUI than it is to theme CM9 or AOKP. Or so I've heard I've never actually tried theming it.

The only reason I didn't put this in the Dev forum was because it required 10 posts to put up a new thread in there. Actually, I think this post gives me that 10 posts. Should I go ahead and put a thread up in there with instructions, links and all that?

Edit: Meant to ask another question, has anyone tried my DX2 version, I only have an MX2 and have only tested that. Would like to know if the DX2 version works.
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
Very in depth answer, thank you. But yes, I would move it over to dev and let some more people. Im away this weekend but if no x2 users have tried this by mon or tue ill give it a go.

Edit:Nope I thought about it and I don't know about posting again over in dev, they might get on you for double posting. I'd contact a mod and ask them to move it for you and rename it. Just my opinion.

I was going to root my S2 today as I have had it for a while and want to root and update my rom or install a custom rom. CF hasn't made an insecure kernal for KH2. A few users had the same problem and used KH3 as stated by CF but some ended up running into difficult problems and some had no problem.

Should I use KH3 to root or should I use another method. I only want to root gingerbread so I can back up app data. I might then factory reset and update the stock rom or flash CM10 and then restore the app data.
