[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] uratrtl:
Hi, I'm running The Collective's jellybean rom and while I love it, it is a tad unstable. With the occasional FC's of the task switcher.

Through using multiple options from AOKP, CM10 and Paranoid I've managed to disable the front hard buttons on the phone (including the back light) and enable the onscreen buttons as found on a Galaxy Nexus. I much prefer this to the stock hard buttons as it makes the screen much easier to one hand than before.

So my question is: if I switch to another rom, whats the best way to allow me to disable the front hard buttons and enable the onscreen buttons? I'd be interested if a single rom allows this or, even better a program or app to accomplish this.

thanks in advance, I did a forum search for "soft buttons" but nothing really came up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
Its called the navigation bar and most (all aosp) ROMs have it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] uratrtl:
Thanks for the reply, its great to hear thats a standard feature on mostly all roms, I'll be much more will willing to flash other roms in the future. I've gotten really used to the soft buttons and I'd hate to lose that feature with different roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saintfyre:
So I purchased my GSM Galaxy Nexus in March of this year thru Amazon. From a Samsung seller, Yapper Wireless.

My power button has suddenly stopped working, don't know why as I can't even remember the last time it's been outside of it's Otterbox. There's no moisture or anything, it's just stopped responding. I've been able to set it up in AOKP so my volume buttons wake the device but it's just a pain to live with.

I call Samsung today since they have a Limited 1 Year Warranty on defective Hardware. Apparently per my IMEI number my Galaxy Nexus is an International Galaxy Nexus, and the only place I can get them to fix the power button is by making an International Call to Samsung Europe and sending the phone to Europe???

The Girl was no help, I'm trying to explain that it's just the power button this is a common issue apparently. Nope gotta make an International call and ship it to Europe.

Anyone else have this kind of issue with repairs for the phone and have possible some kind of workaround getting it repaired with Samsung? Like I said I'm living with it for now but it's just a pain.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saintfyre:
As an update, I called the Samsung Repair Center in Europe from my work phone since we have international calling. They won't take the phone because I'm in the US and there's potential problems returning the device to me. And Samsung in the US won't fix it because the phone is from Europe.

Well played Samsung.

The paid version of PGM app lets you lock and unlock your screen using swipes on your screen. Have you tried that ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
+1. Highly recommended. My power button isn't dead (yet), but I have to press down on it until it feels like it's underneath the housing to get it to respond. Been like that for a while now, but it hasn't got any worse because I have been using that app. Swipe halfway down the screen from right to left to wake, across the bottom from right to left to lock. If the screen times out a simple tap wakes it back up without locking. You can also customize the gestures so you can swipe it wherever you want. It also has very very very little drain on battery, if any at all. I still consistently get 4hrs screen on time with a 4G connection 100% of the charge, GPS, sync & sometimes Bluetooth ON. Stream Pandora for a bit as well as YouTube, Facebook and XDA browsing. That's getting off topic though. This app will take that pain you're suffering right away. Totally worth it, check out the reviews on play store. PGM Nexus

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saintfyre:
Well for now I've set the timeout on the screen to 15 seconds and use the volume buttons to wake it up. I've worked around it already it's just a pain to have it broken and the manufacturer stonewall me on getting it fixed.

My T-Mobile contract is up for renewal right now, looking at the Nexus 4, but it's LG...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ohiomoto:
Worse case, power buttons are inexpensive and I don't think too difficult to replace. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
Head on over to the N4 forum and see how others feel about it to get a better decision as to whether or not you want it. Couldn't help you there, haven't visited those forums once yet. However in the meantime I would still look into PGM Nexus. I had the free version from day 1 since I bought the phone. Power button started to die so I bought the full app. Now I couldn't really care less about returning it or getting it fixed. It just works, and well. Sets upon reboots too so you don't have to wake it with the volume keys and then turn it on. It's great lol. I swear by it. Also pretty cool because I chill with a lot of iPhone users and they all thought it was cool how I turn my phone on and off.

I purchased the PGM Nexus app, works really well and I like it for what I need it for.

But the power button is apparently now working fine after over 24 hours of not functioning. I've had some mild panic attacks over it and it just started functioning again. I'll keep PGM Nexus though, appreciate it.

Slowly giving me problem then one day dead...I had to plug it in in order to turn on...anyways was able to root again and then it came back to life a little bit when I changed rom for the OTA 4.1 worked still almost never and then while trying to root again in order to flash a 4.2 custom rom at the begining i couldn't select anything with volume...suddenly I was able to scroll with volume button and now the power button works as if nothing never happend...Odd anyway just thought i'd share

Hi guys I recently bought a GNEX as I missed the nexus 4 by minutes. Bought it brand new and it came with ice cream sandwhich. It asked me to update it and now its on 4.1.1 when it should be on 4.1.2? The phone did come with a European charger in the box and I had to manually add my APN settings to get my signal . Is this why it doesn't want to update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Probably not a yakju model, just flash the yakju image manually and you're good to go (don't ask, search ;) )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] horr1blek1tten:
Yeah most likely its the European model. Probably won't update for a while.

Hi,

I recently flashed my XXLS7 ROM and while doing so, I was asked to wipe battery stats too, after then I see that my battery % is getting reduced drastically and the worst is that whenever I am in normal mode it shows me 75% but after getting into recovery mode it shows 55% or so. Now I am completely confused whether 100% is actually 100% or not. Any ideas on how to get this problem rectified?

Thanks in advance.

Will I have to unroot my RAZR Maxx hd in order to receive the ota jellybean update? I have the stock rom still. used titanium backup to freeze some bloat. And have installed safe strap and ran a custom recovery So with all that done will I still receive the update?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmonkey57:
I suggest you unfreeze bloatware before applying the OTA as some OTAs do check for pre-requisites and bloatware currently installed might be part of these pre-requisites.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyFox:
Thanks I'll unfreeze all of the bloat ware I also forgot I had done the tether hack where I used the editor to change the values to make the tether app work. Should I also set that backwhen the time come for the ota roll out?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmonkey57:
For that particular hack, I don't know for sure. But it's probably a good idea to revert to a state as close as possible to stock.

[Nexus 4 General] BizzaBoy:
Since everybody seems to upbeat about the Nexus 4, here some things that REALLY piss me off.

For reference, I am coming from a DEFY / CM9 and have at the same time here a new HTC One S / CM10. And then there would be a Nexus 7, and a Kindle Fire / CM10/SGT7.

Why on earth couldn't they have the normal buttons on the bottom, and instead needed to waste precious screen real estate ? I do understand that a 7 inch tablet needs that as it's turned between landscape and portrait. But for a phone ... After all there is space on the device, which is unused now ...

This little microSIM tray is nifty. Especially if you are at an airport, just bought the prepaid microSIM and try to put it in. You have the tool with you, right ?

The new and improved camera app stinks like heck. The device support ISO settings, different focus modi, red-eye removal ... the works. But the default application fails to expose ANY of that. I cannot even set the JPEG quality level ... EPIC fail.

Tried to use 720p video recording ? 22fps stuttering ...

Lockscreen widgets ... why on earth would I want to have that ? And why couldn't there just be a simply settings entry to disable that ? (yes, I know that there is now an app out there that gets rid of it ...)

The good old clock. Nice work. Tons of features. Way too many. Why split this over-engineered mess into "Alarm" and "Watch" and whatever ?

Battery drain ... Looks like a lot of the new features (some which I cannot uninstall per default) are sucking up processor time, like the "Mediaserver" (got the same apps/settings as on CM9/CM10, where this does not happen).

This new pulldown quick settings is nifty. Takes me now 2 clicks and one slide to toggle wireless ... much improved over the one-click toggle in CM9/CM10 (and HTC Sense, and TouchWhiz, and ...).

Overall I feel that 4.2 is a step back from 4.1, because every new feature that should make up 4.2 seems to be more in the way than anything else. The toy needs sooo urgently CM10 it's not even funny.
[Nexus 4 General] woody296:
I totally agree with all your points, it's definitely a turd. Wanna sell it?:D
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
To your first point, I have a feeling that Google will eventually rethink the use of on-screen buttons and come up with a solution that occupies less real estate. The back button is redundant and can easily be replaced in-app like the menu button was (e.g. click the icon in the upper-left corner to go back is already implemented in many apps) and its behavior is confusing and inconsistent; it's a carry-over from the past and poor UX design overall. The task switcher could quick easily become a hold and drag gesture from the home button or status bar with adding any additional steps to get to it.

Thinking something crazy like the tablet interface where the status bar moves to the bottom, gets a little wider, and houses the home button would be a good solution.
[Nexus 4 General] Gibsonflyingv:
Why does... does... do you guys smell apples? I swear I think I do.
[Nexus 4 General] muspel:
What the... huh? Have you ever used android for longer than a few minutes?

The missing back button is the first thing I always cringe over whenever I have to handle an apple device at work, it's the best thing of the whole OS (well,at least it's pretty awesome)

And software buttons are the best solution in general, because they can hide and make place for more stuff on demand.

The "empty" space on the bottom of the nexus4 isn't because they thought they'd leave space there just for fun, there's space because it's needed for the hardware below.

If there were hardware buttons taking up the space the phone would be even bigger (or the screen smaller)

[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
Yes. I have. Thanks for your assumptions though. Despite your "cringing", Apple's implementation of a dynamic "back button" at the top-left of nearly every iOS app is much more consistent and predictable.

On Android, sometimes the back button takes you back to the screen you were on previously on the same level, sometimes it takes you up a level, and sometimes it closes the app which is always surprising and annoying if you were not aware you were already at the root level. The home button closes an app, the back button doesn't need to. Google is even well aware of this unpredictably and has gone as far to draw up guidelines as to how it should be implemented, but many developers choose to ignore it.

Unpredictable behavior is bad UX design, plain and simple. Having a place in-app that takes you back and a hardware/software button that does the same is also redundant and unnecessary. Navigating an app should be natural and intuitive and all within the app, in my opinion. Hardware/software keys should be reserved for OS-level tasks like Home, Task Switching, etc.

I agree the software buttons are the best choice, but it would be nice to see them implemented in a much more dynamic and space-saving way.
[Nexus 4 General] MonsieurJohnny:
The sim eject tool, aka paper clip.
[Nexus 4 General] BizzaBoy:
Yes, I was thinking that the merged tablet interface would be a cool idea for the "Nexus 4". With CM10/SGT7 on the KF you also get a nicer notification panel, which might be reasonable for a device of this size.
[Nexus 4 General] BizzaBoy:
Doesn't work. Paperclip is too big for that one (at least the 3 different ones I tried).
[Nexus 4 General] BizzaBoy:
Actually I might do (or simply return it), but for different reasons than just the SW I was ranting about (and being disappointed for now). Of course many issues I cited will be fixed with a CM10.1 custom ROM in about 3 months ...
[Nexus 4 General] mintvilla:
I disagree with the on screen buttons. I had the gs3 and it was terrible for accidentally catching the buttons. The bezel is there for a reason, Samsung put real buttons on the bezel and it's terrible. This is best of both worlds, if an watching a video I get the full screen as the buttons disappear, yet for everything else the screen is a great size.
[Nexus 4 General] negroplasty:
I feel sorry for everyone and everything in your life.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I disagree. 4.2 is a major improvement, much faster and smoother. All these new things will be improved upon in future updates.

It sounds to me like some people would never be happy no matter what they do.

As for the on screen buttons, i love them after coming from a device that had a push button for home. It would be great though to make them autohide as they do for video.

Tips before Flashing:-

Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM

Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card

Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu> Settings> Applications> Development>

Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.

Since it won't connect to pc via USB I also wasn't able to flash via Odin. I had to send it to a repair shop to flash it via jtag.
