hi im looking for a rom for my galaxy s3 rom with a working service mode, enter *#0011# into your phone dailer and press menu button then press wifi on the pop up menu and you can turn wifi power save mode off, this will fix anyones phone who has a issue with wifi drop and pick up. note each time you turn your phone off and back on you will have to fix this. this is why i need a rom with working service mode im hoping for a jelly bean rom im even willing to be a tester for anyone making a jelly bean rom as long as service mode is included im currently using a team insomnia rom but its not jelly bean. thanks guys also a list of what rom your using and if it includes service mode or not thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
So I'm trying to install a few memos which I did successfully. I pressed save, even locked it with a pin, and when I rebooted my phone and went into memos it was gone. Has that happened to anyone. How do I fix that?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Deleted member 4688382:
Was recording Ron Paul at an event and accidentally pressed the top button. Lo and behold it quit the camera app and I instantly lost 20+ minutes of footage. Way to go HTC! :mad:

This should serve as a warning to those LTE users out there, if you're recording something, don't accidentally press any buttons!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkrlvgn:
Why would you be pressing buttons when you're recording stuff? I think that having things turn off when you press the power button is a good thing...isn't that the idea behind it?

Pressing the wrong buttons is not a manufacturer's problem -- they didn't hide the button, it's not a secret. That's one of those PEBDAU (Problem Exists Between Device and User -- sue me, I can't think while at work). Sucks that you lost footage on Ron Paul though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Deleted member 4688382:
As I already stated in the OP, it was accidental. A friendly warning "are you sure you want to close this while recording?" would have been nice... or just save the footage and then close. Instead, it closed abruptly and without warning and happily discarded the last 20 minutes of footage. Not cool!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkrlvgn:
Highlighted in red. You made a user error, and you're blaming it on the phone manufacturer.

That's like driving a car, and you want to stop, but instead of the brake, you hit the gas, and then get upset at your car manufacturer.

That's like eating a sandwich, and you want to take a bite, but instead of putting it in your mouth, you shove it up your nose, and blaming your body for not chewing it.

That's like walking down the sidewalk, and you want to cross the street, but instead of turning left, you turn right, and blaming the people who laid the street.

I understand that it sucks, as I mentioned before -- unless the manufacturer does something completely opposite of how it's normally done (i.e. car maker switches gas and brake pedals / you eat through your nose / left becomes right) then don't get on them for it. Not their fault any way that you try to explain it. It should read something like this:

They've pretty much always put their power button at the top. It's a popular place to put a power button. Not every phone does it, but the majority do.

Still sucks that you lost Ron Paul footage.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] knotcw:
not htc it was the democrats lmao
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
Crazy thing happened to me too, I was watching tv today and accidentally pressed the power button and my tv turned off. Sorry, couldn't resist, but the reason you lost your footage is because the camera app does not save your video to the sdcard until you press the stop recording button. So when you accidentally hit the power button all of the footage that was in the video cache was lost. I don't know if it would behave differently if you set you camera up for internal memory instead.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Deleted member 4688382:
Your car analogy doesn't quite apply. It would be more like accidentally kicking it into reverse while driving on the freeway. The car should realize that's not an intended function while driving 80mph forward and not allow it. News flash, it does just that! Furthermore, the top button is not exclusively used to power off the phone. Even when you do want to power off the phone, it gives you a warning! It doesn't just instantly power itself off. So why should it be any different when doing other crucial tasks such as recording video (say in a more dire situation, evidence for use in court or something)?

Yes, precisely the reason of the rant. The software should at the very least save the video before closing, it's a pretty reasonable suggestion. Don't you think?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skw5115:
I agree with most of your argument I don't think it would be very hard to add in a prompt before closing while recording however I think that it probably wasn't thought of because its not something that typically happens
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ryno_666:
I think you are on to something that is a simple oversight by HTC. But more importantly why bother telling us your at a Ron Paul event. People not being sympathetic to your ineptitude is one thing, and trust me I can relate. However being a Ron Paul supporter may put a bigger target on your back than you just being silly with a smarty phone. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DCWS6:
Were you recording in portrait? If so there's your first problem. One should not simply record video on a cellphone in portrait.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkrlvgn:
It applies fine -- the power button did it's function as it was designed to do. A quick tap closes the app or puts the phone to hibernate/sleep/whatever. A long hold gives the prompt to turn of the phone, reboot, etc. It's a power button -- that's what it does. if you pressed the power button and it started dialing someone, then I'd agree with you. If you pressed the power button and it turned the volume all the way up or down, then yeah, that'd be a problem. But it did what it's supposed to. You were the boob that pushed it, even if it was by accident. You threw the car into reverse (which you can do, but you shouldn't!) while you were driving 80mph down the road. The problem is not HTC, it's you. You were the one who used it inadvertently, and dun goofed up. I don't have that problem, and lots of people don't have that problem. There are plenty of times that I went to reboot the phone and then realized I didn't want to -- why can't I undo the reboot command? How about when they updated my phone at the store when I bought it, and it is now at hboot 1.15? why can't I undo that? Because it's not designed to allow for it. That's the way it works. Maybe the app should consider it's users before it allows you to use it, have you do some practice stuff first, so you can painstakingly learn how to keep your fingers away from the buttons. If your finger/thumb got in the way of the lense, would you be upset at HTC because the lense caught your finger? No. No, you wouldn't. Because you put your finger there, you did everything, it is and always will be your fault.

No, it shouldn't, because you turned it off.

...unless you're a hobbit!

Make a camera app and figure in all the stupid things people do, then make the options to undo them. You won't win that battle, because they're always someone who will do something stupid.

Hey now. I like Ron Paul. :(

That being said, it's not an oversight, unless you think someone can figure all of the ways that things can be messed up. I want my phone to float and gently land on the ground if I drop it, but they don't have that. I want to not misdial numbers that I've called before, and I don't want my Spotify to play a song that sucks in the Radio option.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mattemer:
You're going just *a little* to far I think. I agree with you in general, this isn't an issue, a button was mispressed at an inopportune moment, and the consequences sucked.

With that being said, I'm sure it's not too much for HTC or android to prompt when in video mode recording and the power button is hit to show a prompt. Especially if it's not going to be saved.

Going in the opposite direction of your examples: wouldn't a more accurate comparison be anytime, on every OS ever, if you try to delete a file you're prompted with "are you sure you want to delete this file?" That's there to catch mistakes. If we never made mistakes, they'd never have to build that prompt into virtually EVERY operating system. And in essence, when you hit the power button while recording, you're deleting that video. From a technical standpoint, it's not saved, I know, just cached, but close enough.

Again, I do, in general, agree. But no reason to get so extreme explaining why the OP is a "boob"

With that being said, OP, you ARE a boob. Jk. I look at this post as more an fyi, but wouldn't consider this any sort of defect.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkrlvgn:
If you're writing something up in Microsoft Word, and you turn your computer off, unless it autosaved (which it only does when you don't need it!!!) you're the boob that pushed the power button on the computer. Plenty of times that I've saved a file that was in the temp folder originally, and then when I went to open what I thought was the right file, none of my changes were there. I was the boob that didn't pay attention. Boob is not a horrible term -- stuff happens. We all do stupid things. I don't, however, hold Asus responsible for my goofs.

If I save a file on my USB drive and then I pull the drive out before it's done, that's my fault. It'd be great if it said something like "looks like you dun goofed, friend! Please insert the drive to try again!", but it doesn't. The file either ends up being corrupt or not there at all.

Just a minute ago, I was changing some groups on my work messaging Jabber client, and I goofed something. I did something to it that it's not supposed to do, and now I suffer the consequences of my actions. I take responsibility for my actions.

If there were a way to circumvent screw-ups (which we all do!!) then the world would be a better place. Unfortunately, there isn't a real "easy" button, or a "rewind life" button. You can't give for every situation, and when you start compensating for one person's screwup and not another, you end up having massive, unneeded bloat.

Do you really need text on your coffee cup to tell you that the hot cup of coffee you ordered is hot?

Do you really need a bottle of poison to have a warning label in small print that no one but an older child/adult can read tell you that it's bad for you to drink it?

I'll tell you something -- I learn from my screwups. Grab a burner while it's flaming hot, you can guarantee that I won't touch it again. If it automatically turned off when human skin comes close to it, that would be freakin' awesome, and the technology is available (with a few modifications), but they don't make stoves that way. Sucks, but that's the world.

And yes, it is a bit far, but...I didn't start off that way. If you want something to work that specific way, then sure, make it work. But I don't want extra weight on my app. I don't hit the button, and if I do by accident, then it's on me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mattemer:
If I have something not saved in Word open, and go to turn off the computer, as Windows is shutting everything down it will prompt if I want to close Word without saving my changes.

And just like you learn from your mistakes, we'll all learn from the OPs mistake, bc he gave us all a warning.

I don't see why asking for a prompt is that big of a deal.

And I don't find the term boob offensive at all, but it's definitely not a compliment.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BonkyMoon:
I can see the reason for wanting a warning message about closing when you power off in the middle of using the camera. That said, I have an actual camcorder; a dedicated device for taking video. It has an On/Off button. If I press that button the camcorder powers off. It appears to work as designed.

E: To clarify, it does this regardless of whether I'm recording at the time. There is an understood assumption that I knew that I was pressing the On/Off button. I have yet to lose footage due to this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Go Ron Paul! The other choices aren't great, Obama has already proven it and Romney you can just tell
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] puhiniho:
Maybe something wrong with my phone :) but, I just tested video recording something then pressed my power button and it recorded up to the point of power off. I'm rooted Rejuvenated ROM so maybe that's the difference.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] funcrusher:
I'd like ron paul as my grandpa, that's about it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mattemer:
Hahaha I just tried this too, and mine was saved as well. And I'm definitely saving to my storage card.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] `Ghost`:
I was walking in to the kitchen and smashed my pinky toe on one of the legs of the table chairs... DAMN YOU IKEA FOR NOT MAKING THE LEGS OF THE CHAIRS A TINY BIT SMALLER.

I also went to grab the my bottle of water off of the desk next to my computer but forgot my headphones were on. well they got ripped off my head because i ran out of cord...i ended up ripping the usb plug out of the usb port and now the headphones dont work any more... DAMN YOU TURTLE BEACH! YOU SHOULD HAVE MADE THE CABLE LONGER!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticklemepinks:
this is tru, i just tried it to... records up to the point i press the power button eahc time... so maybe it is the op's fone lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] louched1:
Same here.

With Viper4G the video recording stops and video gets saved. Coincidentally, that's how I'd prefer it to work. It would be lame to lose the footage.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kindarandomz:
why is everyone being a jerk? OP lost something precious TO HIM/HER, and provided with us a protip.

OP, I'm on CM10 with the efforts of deck, and pressing the power acts as a shutter!

I would suggest moving to a custom rom (if you weren't already on one), which has a lot more benefits than stock IMO.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] `Ghost`:
Everyone, including myself, is commenting on the fact the OP blamed it on HTC. HTC had nothing to do with it. It was the OP's fault. I dont blame the company that made my cereal when i spill the bowl, i accept the fact that It was me myself that caused the spilling of said bowl.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
I blame ron paul
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skw5115:
I agree that it's impossible to make a perfect app that will anticipate every single user error however like I said l do agree that a prompt should be added when recording...I'm in no way blaming HTC for not anticipating this error as I said its not something that would typically happen its never happened to me however I do believe that this would be an improvement to their existing software.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] A_Flying_Fox:
Lmfao you people and getting so offended as if they're talking about you personally!

There can't be software flaws on an htc device can there? :rolleyes:

I get what you're saying OP. It would've pissed me off if I had a 20 minute video that went bye bye because I pressed the screen off button. I mean, wtf was the phone doing for those 20 minutes, obviously it wasn't recording because then it'd be saved lol.

I didn't know it writes AFTER pressing done lol I agree, either an automatic write2sd after cutting off, or writing while recording or just a simple prompt would be nice.

For example, on my phone if you press the power button while in the camera app, it locks hardware buttons around the phone. It doesn't cut off or anything. A little lock appears and then you have to press the power again to get the hardware buttons to work (I.e. the "back button" to actually leave the app :P)

Damn you htc for not thinking of every possibility! Lol. Lesson learned tho, keep fingers away from the power button :P

TUTORIAL FOR UPDATEING P500 to GB(baseband update), ROOT THE PHONE, FLASH CWM RECOVERY​

I made this tutorial because i took me 4 h of intensive searching for the methods above:rolleyes: ,and i hate to search for this kind of things and im sure that im not the only one , with this thread i will redirect you to the topics that you will need to follow, or i will explain to you what to do.

FIRST: Install the USB drivers from http://www.lg.com/us/support/mobile-support download PC Sync, we need the app for the latest USB drivers, or download the USB drivers alone.

Then go in your mobile, in Settings/Applications/Development and enable USB Debugging then go back under Applications Settings make sure that you got checked Unknown Sources

NOTE: I`M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MY BUILD MAY CAUSE TO YOUR DEVICE, TRY IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!

NOR ME OR OTHER DEVELOPER CAN NOT BE NAMED AS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MALFUNCTION/S THAT MAY OCCUR.And also that i dont have a

P500

i have a Galaxy Mini and i build just for tass brunch

You are a noob? you dont know really where to start? ###DONT PANIC###!!!! first step is to check if you got android 2.3.3, witch is also known as Gingerbread, (how you do that? you go into Settings/About Phone and scroll down and you will see Android version.)

If you are on Android 2.2.2 or older then you must follow THIS simple tutorial, and you will update your phone to ver 2.3.3 and the baseband to so you can skip step one.

First of all i must thank to all the made those topics, say thanks to them...and to me if this helped :highfive:

You need to disable call screening. As far as I can tell there isn't a way to disable screening on call waiting though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkrlvgn:
Log in to Google Voice on the website, not the app, and go to settings.

under the "calls" tab, there's a "Call Screening" section. Click the setting from on to off.

as far as I know, there is no other way to change this -- it cannot be done from within the voice app (afaik).

make sure you save your settings.
