[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] weaselnoze:
I've seen plenty of people comment about how when a text message is received in your pocket, the screen never goes back to sleep. The reason for this thread is to discuss the reasoning for it. I have heard plenty of people saying to just disable the 'screen on' feature but that is no solution to me. It's a bandaid.

Personally I find the screen on feature to be very useful. I can have the phone sitting on my desk and when an sms comes through, I can glance down and get a preview of the message before it locks back up. That way I can see if it's worth addressing at the moment or not. I came from the skyrocket which also had the feature, but without the pocket bug. Half the time I receive a message in my pocket, the screen never locks back up and it sounds like a damn rainstorm in my pocket.

I was under the impression that the screen only registered a 'touch' when something conductive touched it. My pants pocket isn't made from special conductive fabric. Now the only thing I can think of is that because the glass is facing inwards, my leg is causing the problem THROUGH my pocket. It acts like it is too sensitive.

Thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mms6:
Um... Face the phone screen outwards?? or use a belt holster (vertical or horizontal)???

lol

I had some issues when I get my phone... I cannot seem to fit this massive phone in my jean pocket, so I used the belt holster I had for my S2 Skyrocket, and no issues so far...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cheetablaze:
Just drop the stock messaging and move to Handcent. I have it set to where the text message will not turn on the screen, just vibrate and sound.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] weaselnoze:
as I had mentioned in the OP, i found value in the 'screen on' feature and didn't wish to put a bandaid on it (face outwards, holster, handcent etc...) I know i can turn the feature off with a third party app. in fact i used go sms which has the ability to disable that feature, but i USE that feature and i don't want to sacrifice it. why did the skyrocket, and other phones work just fine?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crash822:
Never had this issue. I also never used the stock messaging app on the stock rom as I flashed custom within an hour of owning the phone. Maybe try a different messaging app?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] weaselnoze:
it happens with both the stock messaging app as well as any third party app. essentially any app at all that wakes the screen up. being that you've never had this problem with a custom rom, it could be software related with the stock rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crash822:
Possibly. Don't know if you're rooted or not but may want to try one of the roms that are stock like if you like the stock rom the phone came with.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jirv311:
This fix is actually really easy, stop wearing skinny jeans. :D

On a serious note, I haven't had this issue yet but it is annoying when plugging in or unplugging that the screen seems to stay on until you hit the power button again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hondaguy:
i am on the stock rom and have never had that issue, and i receive many messages per day. i was using the stock kernel for a few weeks and for the last week or two i have been using a custom kernel, but neither one ever had that issue. my screen does light up when i receive a sms message but it always turns back off quickly. i would guess maybe there is an app on your phone causing an issue?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s1galaxy:
hahahaha best solution thus far
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] elementaldragon:
... more sensitive screen? Different pants? i don't know. What i do know, though, is that the mms6 was not trying to be a smarta** with his comment. If the pants/shorts/etc... that you're wearing have thin material making up the pockets, and your phone is facing your thigh... do you really think there's no chance of the capacitive screen picking up the touch from your thigh? Hell, one pair of shorts that i have were quite interesting. With my Motorola Atrix 4G, even with the screen facing away from me, i was able to vaguely make out what was on the screen, and was able to unlock the phone THROUGH both the pocket material as well as the material the shorts were made out of.

So uuh... yea... i really don't see how having the screen facing outwards is a "band-aid"... unless you think that we shouldn't use screen gestures to unlock our phones...
[HTC EVO 3D] f4k3pyr0:
Its about two weeks from the day when i rooted. Since saturday i have kept getting a message "Unable to charge. Phone is using more power than the charger is able to deliver". But this doesnt make sense as i have about 450 ram always free(except when im playing Order & Chaos) and display has been on the lowest settings since then. So should i unroot(please give link then) or buy a new charger?

Thanks in advance
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Sounds like the charger is not delivering enough amps to the phone. I would but a new charger with at least 1A (1000 mA) and see if that helps.

i had a boot loop? issue on I9000. after flashing cm-10-20120919-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd.zip phone booting directly into CWM recovery. i have tryed your "Boot Loops, Booting Problems, Stuck at Boot Screen" solutions, but with no luck. phone witch semaphore JB kernel is still booting directly into recovery.

downgrade to stock GB is possible, and stock ROM si running.

thank you for an suggestions

you have already tried flashing a semaphore JB kernel and it does not solve it?

After using the nexus 7 for some time now, if it had calling capabilitys I would use that it as phone without a doubt in my mind.

Using GrooveIP and attaching it to my Google Voice account, coupled with a bluetooth headset like you typically have paired with phones, I often DO use my Nexus 7 as a phone. :good:

I've made quite a few calls on my N7 over wifi with GrooveIP. Looks funny when I hold it up to my head though.

But you don't NEED a BT headset/earpiece right? That's just so others can't hear the person on the other end correct? I ask because I purchased Groove IP a while back to make calls on an old HTC Hero that had no active cell service, so I may try it on the N7 someday when I'm bored.That way I can call my girlfriend without my wife seeing her number on our cell phone bill.

The Nexus 7 doesn't support an external mic...it has been confirmed in another thread I believe.

Edit: External hardware mic isn't supported. Apparently a few people have been able to get a bluetooth headset mic to work but only with GrooveIP. It sounds like a driver issue with bluetooth. I definitely doesn't work with my Nexus 7 and Skype.

this thread makes me think of this

I loved my N-GAGE :D

Im seriously considering downgrading my phone to a feature phone with bt tethering and doing away with my android phone now I have a nexus 7.

I use Platinum Tel pay as you go for my cell phone service so having GrooVeIP installed on the 7 saves me even more cash when I have WiFi. I'm not much of a phone user (190 minutes) so I manage to keep my bill around $8 a month.

Um... Why not just use another phone if you're going to use a phone-sized thing to do this?
[Nexus 7 General] NicholasQ:
You would be better off with something like a T-Mobile 4G hotspot device. It's about 3/4 the size of a typical android phone. And you could get a $30/month data plan (5GB).

Or like everybody else says... tether to your phone.

I plan on getting the next nexus phone which I'll tether to that.
[Nexus 7 General] Horse Trader:
Why not ? I use my Nexus 7 as a phone, hooked into home WiFi, and using a VOIP client as I do, you can make and receive calls on it, very good it is too.

I use 'Bria' VOIP client, and also 'Voip by antisip' whcih also supports video, although, in my opinion, Bria is far superior in call quality.

I also have a small battery powered T mobile 'Pointer' unit, that generates a WiFi signal, so, when portable, using that is great, 1Gb or 3Gb sim cards (for the voip unit) are pretty cheap anyway, I use 3 providor, been buying 3Gb SIMs for £11, lasts 90 days and made tons phone calls and surfaced the net for hours too.

Maybe the next Nexus will have all these facilites built in?

[Nexus 7 General] sark666:
It seems only Grooveip works with bluetooth headsets. I can't use that as I'm in Canada and I'm interested in using a standard sip client. Bria voip states having bluetooth support. Horse Trader, have you tried a bluetooth headset with Bria? And was it a stereo headset? Some seem to be able to use jawbone headsets but not stereo bluetooth headsets.

Are you sure headset mic is working? Ifixit confirmed that the audio jack doesn't have mic capabilities. the mic from my headset that came with my galaxy nexus doesn't work. Try a recording app and put some tape or cover the two mic holes and see if it picks up the mic on your headset.

if you're still on stock rom and stock kernel so your currunt kernel can still do these two :

1)wipe cache(try this one only first time, if it presists ,then do both next time)

2)wipe data/factory reset ( take a back up of your contacts and messeges )

to get into kernel recovery mode = ( hold this combination while ur phone is turned off :volume up + home + power ,hold these till u see the S2 splash screen, as soon as u see it , release the button combination immediately )

in recovery mode u can move up and down using volume keys and select either with home or power button
