[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bitbang3r:
I just got my new AT&T S3 a few days ago, and there's a problem I seem to be having with every single phone call I make or receive.

During the call, the screen goes dark, and none of the buttons seem to be able to wake it up again until the other party hangs up. I've literally had to rip my Otterbox off and yank the battery out to hang up during one call to an IVR system that just wouldn't hang up on its own (I guess I could have pressed the right combination of buttons to force a reboot, but at that point I was in no mood to spend 5 minutes experimenting with different permutations of power, vol-, and vol+ to find the magic combo).

Here's what I think might be happening. Note that I haven't exhaustively spent lots of time debugging it yet, on the theory that if it's a common bug, somebody else already has:

Call begins.

Hall Effect sensor triggered by proximity to face. Screen turned off, touchscreen input disabled.

Display settings ticking away in the background force timeout after N seconds. Ignores the fact that the display is already off, and puts the phone to sleep "for real" (at least, the part handling the UI), neglecting to re-enable the power button first.

I'm done with my call. I move the phone away from my face to hang up (or pull up the keypad to enter a selection). Hall Effect sensor broadcasts intent to turn on screen and re-enable touchscreen, and its intent falls on deaf ears because the phone is officially asleep and ignoring it.

Panic. Press power button. Seemingly ignored (though the phone might be waking up enough to see a note telling it to ignore the button, and going back to sleep without further action).

Anger. Press home button. Press volume buttons. Swear violently, and get really mad.

(other party hangs up; lock gets released, phone is awakened and problem seems to go away)

or...

(furiously press various two- and three-finger combinations of power, vol+, vol-, and home until either the call terminates or the phone reboots)

For what it's worth, the same bug show up if I make a call in my car, but the bluetooth call-control button DOES work, even though the phone itself appears to be a darkened unresponsive brick, and triggering a hangup via bluetooth wakes it back up again. I KNOW this isn't due to Tasker or anything, because I've had this problem literally since I made my first call on the new phone to terminate my Sprint account, when it was 100% stock and virgin.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] J2DAe:
I had the same problem with my white s3 . Then I changed the screen protector and cleansed the proximity sensor with a dust free cloth and haven't had any problems since
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bitbang3r:
Well, I found the root of my problem: the S3's proximity sensor isn't a Hall Effect sensor, it's near-infrared... and the plastic shell on my case is yellow, which meant it was reflecting too much near-infrared light back into the sensor and triggering it continuously from the moment the LED turned on. I ended up blackening the plastic that surrounds the sensor using a Sharpie marker, and it solved the problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DEM10:
Samsung S3 won't hang up

I have the same problem and found that I can insert earphones to phone to make light come back on. After looking at this forum I also noticed a setting (which I haven't tried yet). It's the 3rd from last under settings. Settings-Accessibility-Answering/ending calls-The power key ends calls.

I'm hoping that will work.

Only thing holding me back from getting a n7 is no keyboard dock (not bluetooth keyboard) and no microsd slot forcing me to buy the 16gb version which is still not enough. I know there is a workaround for the storage issue with otg but I would like a keyboard dock.

Ideally if there was a keyboard dock that has an sd card slot id buy it in a heartbeat.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] AMoosa:
Just get a Galaxy Tab 7 v2 with keyboard dock.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] nemesis93:
Already purchased the n7 and am in love with it. Going to root it soon when I have some spare time. I'd love the option of sdcard storage for it and a keyboard would make it golden.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] crimson12:
There isn't a dock I'm aware of, but the logitech bluetooth keyboard for Android works really well on the N7.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] KoolAidJunkie:
LOL... You purchased it a day after saying the lack of a keyboard dock is holding you back.

I've searched everywhere I know of in hopes of finding a Keyboard/Dock for the N7, but there is not one sadly..

I think it would be a little hard to work with the 1 input options (the microUSB) when building a dock.

Specially since its positions on the bottom of the tablet (portrait style)

I'm currently waiting for another OTG Cable to arrive.. I'm then going to rip apart my wifes Tab2 7.0 keyboard, and see what I can do about wiring in the OTG cable, replacing the docks current Samsung Connector with the mUSB on the OTG cable. Won't be a microSD option, but I'll have a keyboard dock (hopefully)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] nemesis93:
Lol I couldn't resist. This tablet looked great and the dev support is amazing.

When you get a chance to try to make that keyboard dock on your own please post pics and tell us how it works!

Also with an offer cable I can connect flash drives to the table correct?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Souai:
why not just buy a usb keyboard that has an integrated usb hub. plug it into the nexus 7 via a usb on the go adapter?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] nemesis93:
What's the go adapter?

And I've never seen a keybord with an integrated usb hub!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] KoolAidJunkie:
Because the point using the Samsung Keyboard Dock.. is the "Dock" part of it... the Nexus fix relatively well in the slot. Might need to carve it out a bit to adjust for the corners..

Going off your suggestion why not just buy a Bluetooth keyboard? Wait, no dock there either...

[Nexus 7 Accessories] atticusmas:
Uhm.....pogo pins anyone
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Beards:
You could use something like this USB Keyboard fitted in a PU Leather Case, complete with adapter.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ldrn:
I'd advise seriously against that. I bought it, and in addition to being rather huge, the keyboard gets more awful with use. It's not even the size -- it just doesn't register keypresses sometimes.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Beards:
Thanks for that personal piece of info.... I have noted it for future reference.

theNexus 7 keyboard is a pretty useful product in the present day society. i would ask people to use it.

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

the product Nexus 7 Keyboard Cover – Nexus 7 Bluetooth Keyboard Leatherette Folio Case from u Play (White Label) $49.99 is good and useful for the people who work with time management.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Logan_M:
I'm using a Microsoft wireless keyboard (Model 2000) and it works perfectly, even at faster speeds (70 WPM). I just plug the wireless receiver into my OTG cable and it automatically starts using the hardware. Though this doesn't work if you want a smaller portable keyboard as this one is full sized, but I use it at home mostly so that's not a problem (I prefer having a full sized keyboard). These special keys even work: Mail (brings up Gmail), volume controls, pause/play, home, and some others that I can't remember.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Gigabitex2:
Just picked up hip street with keyboard yesterday, was looking for something thick for protection more than anything! The case is heavy,bulky and the keys are cluncky. That being said it connects very well with Bluetooth and all ports and speaker are open/ accessible. Haven't tested to see how long battery for keyboard lasts ( charges thru USB ) overall I'm happy with this purchase.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] blackjaguar25:
Definitely thought of pogo pins too, but I thought I heard that they're only for charging.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] cj250mills:
I use an apple bluetooth keyboard and a blurex case to prop my n7 at the right angle.. I've found no disadvantage to this and my N7 anctually fits right in the gap under the keyboard so I can wedge it in between books and what not. It seems to be the best route right now.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] airizsyah:
well.. ever feel someone watching you over whatsapp last seen status and get a text from him/her saying 'hey you, why dont you replies my text.. i can see you now'.. or maybe you just meet this new girl and keep text her on whatsapp but you scared your girlfriend will notice that you are online at that time..or maybe similar situation.. you tell..

actually it is simple to make you whatsapp last seen status unchanged.. whenever you open whatsapp.. whatsapp server (i think) will detect your present and will display your last seen status whenever you friend open his/her chat conversation. so how to make your whatsapp last seen freeze ? to do so.. open whatsapp when there is no connection available on your cellphone. im using data connection. im using data toggle widget on my homescreen (data/wifi toggle, depend on what connection you are)..

1# disable data/wifi connection using toggle widget (notification toggle should do to)

2# open your whatsapp.. read, send, whatever you like to do so.

3# close whatsapp.

4# enable data/wifi connection from your widget/notification toggle.

and you're done.

pro -your whatsapp last seen status will never change until you open whatsapp with data/wifi connection are connected

con - you cant see your friends last seen status, unable to download files.

should be okay if you just open your whatsapp with connected connection few times a day and make your friends knew that you are online that day and keep the rest of the times invisible.. hahaha..

good luck to whoever try to cheat on his girlfriend.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Logseman:
Wouldn't it be easier to use another application specifically for your affair? Not cheating would be the best idea, but I'm just working in your framework. Don't use just Whatsapp, use Whatsapp and a second app specifically for your paramour.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sinple:
use another home launcher, hide whatapp, then go to data usage, restrict whatapp data usage. When yr wife is ard u, u just use data connection. When yr wife is not ard u, use wifi to check the hiden whatapp whether there is msg anot.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] airizsyah:
in my country (malaysia) everybody just go crazy about using whatsapp and forget about viber..kakao talk..and so on.. almost all people here in my country are on whatsapp :laugh: .. to make my affair(if i ever had) or girlfriend moving from whatsapp to other ? that will be a big NO i think
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] -Harsh-:
Good tip but poor example..!

You could have said that without sighting the example of cheating your girlfriend.. Could be useful when you don't want people to bug you and replying only to your girlfriend !! :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] airizsyah:
Cheating ?.. Yeah.. I mention that because i knew a lots of people out there are looking about 'how'.. Well.. It depend on what occation you're on to.. Mine because this silly friend of mine who keep on texting me.. Get me thinking why on earth she get so excited about sending free msg (maybe she use to own se k770 i think.. And now she jumping into the world of smartphone).. Haha.. Damn.. Diff people.. Diff situation.. Everybody.. Whatever i wrote above.. Use it wisely..

I will use data toggle like that now too as the only way to access whatsapp.. i have big stress because friends expect direct answer every time i log on.. i hate whatapp for this.. so now with this i hope i will have more peace:good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mad_4u:
lol Man you got the point

i was always looking for some kind of solution for whatsapp as some people can't understand that you may get busy with your own life and cant replay to them when ever they chat to you.

but what is the solution for others if you don't respond to them by whatsapp they call you asking why :):confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
Lmao @ the point of this topic!

Although I fail to see how you use whatsapp without a data connection?

I also (apart from sending pictures or messaging someone abroad) see the point in using whatsapp, doesn't everyone have unlimited free texts nowadays anyway?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Plute:
It really works, thanks!

Also, you dont have to kill whatsapp, just hitting home after sending the message works.. then, with whatsapp running in the background, i enabled wifi/data and my message was sent, but last seen remained unchanged.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Starship706:
Found out about that recently when i was looking for a way to not always appear online...

And the example ...well there is some truth in it. I dont wanna know why my girlfriend is on and doesnt write back... neither she should know when and how long i am online... same for my students... who dont have to know i am using whatsapp at night when i got to teach them in the next morning :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] faziraswift:
Yes!

Yes. I used this trick most of the time. It does not necessarily be used to cheat on your girlfriend/boyfriend. I use it whenever i receive a whatsapp message from someone i dont want want to talk to that day so to clear the notification that i keep receiving, i turn off my wifi, open whatsapp and clicked the message. Ta-da! Haha just saying ;) and i also use it so tha t my ex wont see that im online. Haha ^^
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ghostfreak NB:
What a funny solution!

Though it works! Lolz!

Ps : I'm not using it to cheat my gf....:p

Haha!

Just using it to convey I'm busy only to some people who keep looking to bug me whenever I get ol....

nope. indian govt is retarded
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] maridaem:
can the whatsapp status 'last seen' be updated with 'real' connection?

Well, to make it a real life case: my girlfriend was supposed to be on the TGV at 20:37. But that was also the last time she was seen on whatsapp. She has a foreign SIM card so she doesnt roam on her smartphone (I know because i see the specifications). The TGV has free wifi in business class, but for the rest in 2nd class you have to pay to get access. Assuming that she didnt use the smartphone (which is running on Android 2.3 and i know it has some problems with whatsapp concerning wifi connection), could there have been some sort of connection that updated her status?

Thanks,

David

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XqepX:
Doesn't work for me O.o I disable Wifi with the Wifi Toggle Widget of Sony and then I open WhatsApp. After that, I write a person a message and then I went back to homescreen and enable my Wifi with the Wifi Toggle Widget of Sony, but the person, which I've written to, can see my last online Status :o
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] royest:
Best way is to use Whatsapp toolbox root !

Search store for whatsapp toolbox.. it's free

You will chat while you are offline

Note: it needs root

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Arafeh94:
I have another trick :P

install 2lineforwhatsapp app and register a second whatsapp account

the trick is to do not tell any one about the second account

use the method in op in the first account

and use the second account to see the last seen of any other whatsapp user

How about replying.

Still unsolved

Pretty nice but I don't like the font. Would be so much better with just regular Roboto or some other thin font.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Teoctist:
You ever tried Minimalistic Text app-widget?

this app shows the time in text, the user-interface of all the settings is not pretty, but the widget shows a nice clock as text.

I installed your app, And i understand what you mean, just a plain simple clock as widget would be nice.

So when i wanted to use your clock i could not find it anywhere between the widgets in the menu?

If you could make the days more visible? Like putting in bottom and havin it full name?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CacoPelao:
It should be in the widgets menu, sometimes when I install widgets that happens to me too, I believe that android takes some minutes to refresh the widgets in the widgets menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CacoPelao:
Thanks a lot for your feedback.

I'll be taking this into consideration, as I'm trying to add some differents styles to the widget.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Teoctist:
You are right, now i did found it between my widgets.

I like it very much!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CacoPelao:
Glad you like it! :)

Please give it a review in the Play Store!

Can I make a request? Can you remove the icon from the app drawer?

Thanks for your feedback.

I'm releasing an update in this week that removes the icon from the drawer as well as other improvements to the widget.

Nokia Lumia 820 http://www.nokia.com/global/products/phone/lumia820/specifications/

No SD-card for 920, however on the cheaper 820 there is a sd-card slot.

EDIT:

From WMPoweruser:

Winfuture.de reports the Nokia Lumia 920 will be released in Germany in mid-October and will retail for 600 Euro ($758, £476).

The Austrian art magazine ‘Future Zone‘ reported that Nokia wants to deliver the Lumia 920 from the middle of October in Germany. They expect the handset to initially launch only in a few countries, much like the roll-out of the Nokia Lumia 800, before being available everywhere.

The handset will be introduced first in Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Russia, before becomes available in late October in Poland. The Scandinavian countries, Portugal and Spain will receive the handset a short time later.

The Nokia Lumia 820 will follow 2 weeks later in the same markets and will retail for around 450 Euro ($568, £357).

Of note is that the Samsung Galaxy S III 16 GB without LTE is 580 Euro, making the 32 GB LTE Nokia Lumia 920 very price competitive.

A cheaper version of the Lumia 920 without LTE will also be available.

920 has no microSD and you can't remove the battery
[Nokia Lumia 920] StevieBallz:
They said it already during the Windows Phone Summit 2 months back. They won't be integrating Skype into the OS. They will allow any VoIP App to fully integrate itself with WP8's Dialer and allow it to run in the background (which includes Skype but won't force Skype on everyone's handset (which would lead to problems with carriers)).
[Nokia Lumia 920] geoken:
Does anyone think the specs might be wrong? I was disappointed when the 920 didn't list AWS support, but then when I saw that the 820 also didn't list it I became a bit suspicious since many are saying the 820 is destined for TMobile US.
[Nokia Lumia 920] xtremenet:
The Nokia 920 its too heavy and big for a 4.5" display, 130.3 x 70.8 x x10.7 mm and 185g. :eek:

It's a shame because the rest of the hardware (camera, screen, built materials, etc) and the nokia software, are great.

The Ativ S by comparation with a 4.8" display has 137.2 x 70.5 x 8.7 mm and 135g.
[Nokia Lumia 920] StevieBallz:
Sturdier shell, bigger camera compartment (you need room for the camera assembly to move for the optical stabilization to be able to work), the extra Hardware for wireless charging and due to the improved touch technology by Synaptics I guess they need more room for the screen as well (I'm pretty sure it's not on-cell technology as with Samsung's SuperAMOLED).

Wish Nokia went with Android instead. Looks to be a decent handset but I won't go near it with it having Windows.

try it out first? yeah I'm an android fan too, but mostly for the apps not the actual OS :S I'm growing a bit tired of the icons business... but what I didn't like about the windows phone was the app list either :S I preferred android's screen/icons over the app list.

Kind of want just the metro UI as homescreen and android's app drawer lol.

back to topic, yeah, try out the windows phone, I'll stop by store when it's out. Nothing to say I'll buy it, but this phone is one that I'll make a stop in to at least get hands on with
