After I updated my phone to jelly bean via the root 66 inject method my screen seems to not time out.

I have my display timeout set to 15 seconds and I have smart stay turned on.

My question is did the update do this to my phone or is it possible that something on my phone is keeping my phone awake.

If that's the case how can I solve this problem?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Have you tried with smart stay off?

Make nandroid backup first. Then in app manager try wiping data for settings/settings storage.

If thst doesn't help, then factory reset using cwm or twrp. (Stock recovery will also wipe your internal sd)

It may be that there's some data from before you updated that's causing your problem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ironlood:
I appreciate the help but It still seems to ignore my timeout settings... guess I'm just gonna have to deal with it while I try and trouble shoot certain apps.

Again thank you for you suggestions
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mattedwards2686:
Download extended controls and add toggles Screen always on and stay awake. make sure that both of these are disabled. its a weird bug. I had this problem when I was chraging my phone and the screen would never turn off.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HajmeR:
Try fixing permissions in recovery. If that doesn't help, make buckup to external sd and try odin again
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bmwjnky:
I was having this issue with my S3, 100% stock. I tried restarting the phone, power off then power on, hard reset and nothing worked. What did end up working was setting a different timeout than what was selected and going back to the home screen, then I went and changed the timeout duration to the one I wanted, went back to the home screen and then restarted my phone. My phone has been working fine and timing out like it should for the last week and a half.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Five0nIt:
Sometimes when I get a SMS my screen won't turn off. Only started to happen after JB.
[Nexus 7 General] Jon12345:
One thing I notice about my Nexus 7 that is a bit annoying, is that there is no hardware button to switch the screen like at the bottom of my iPhone screen. There is the button along the side, but I find that much more awkward to press, especially when the device is laying on a table.

Anyone else find that? Any apps or solution?

Thanks,

Jon
[Nexus 7 General] taffypride:
Its no problem for me to just pick it up and tap the button on the side......
[Nexus 7 General] regalpimpin:
Most of us around here don't use iphones. So we're not used to a physical home button.

Sleep/wake case may help..

[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
Personally i would hate to have a hardware button of the face surface of my device.. it would be something i would hit by accident .If its trouble to reach around to the side you might want to hire someone to push it for you....

Are there any apps that allow a gesture to turn the screen on? Say a three finger swipe?
[Nexus 7 General] DN41:
How should that be possible?

Your touchscreen would be powered all the time to register gestures and your display would be powered as well (black screen maybe) - but that's dumb :D

DN41
[Nexus 7 General] crewchief41:
Exactly! I have wondered how many others are doing this. I never turn my tab off and I never use a lock screen. I get days and days of battery life with my tab on my night stand in standby and love that its instant "on" feature in this config.
[Nexus 7 General] AFAinHD:
You realize that that would drop battery life by a huge amount right? You can't keep the digitizer on all the time.
[Nexus 7 General] 4rz0:
What about keeping the digitizer only on when it's attached to a charging device?

I have the same problem as OP, you can't just turn it on like the S2 i'm used to (you can reach the power button without problems there)

It's not a matter of being lazy for me, it's just not intuitive to first pick it up to activate the screen and then lay it down again.

I personally worked around that problem with keeping the screen on when attached to a charger/USB trough the dev option when i'm developing on it, but it's not an optimal solution towards screen life...

Maybe the Slide2Wake drain-free option by myfluxi is the solution.
[Nexus 7 General] Jon12345:
Lazy doesn't come into it. Its about having a device that is convenient. Its just not convenient to grope around the side of the device to turn it on, only to find you are pressing the volume switch. The iPhone is incredibly good in this respect. Just press the button on the top!

I wish the Nexus 7 had such a button. But since it doesn't, I'm wondering if there is a work around.
[Nexus 7 General] Element515:
I don't think it's a thing of being lazy. The nexus has its button at an angle pointing down and if you want to check the time, you have to lift up the side to get to it. It was nice to just push a button on the bottom and not worry to lift or accidentally push the tablet around a table.
[Nexus 7 General] AFAinHD:
There are three buttons on the device. 2 for volume and 1 for sleep/power. You don't have to grope the device to turn it on, you just have to hit the button on the side, it is incredabaly simple. You move your finger to the right side of the N7 you slide it under the top right, click the power button, boom, the screen comes on, easy and it requires almost no effort.
[Nexus 7 General] Jon12345:
Its a design flaw, sadly. Its irritating me no end. It is surprising how the simplest of oversights can lead to device dissatisfaction. I just wish there was a work around. The case is the next best thing, but I don't really want a case just to turn it on automatically.
[Nexus 7 General] AFAinHD:
I really don't think it was an oversight. For one it would cost Google more, and for two a lot of people, like me, would not want a button on the front. The N7 was made to look slick, the front has nothing but the screen, that's how it was supposed to be.
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
I seriously think you should trade your nexus in for a ipad or ipad mini... Never in my life heard such having a button on the front of a device to me is a stupid idea.. a button you will keep pushing by accident..a button to look ugly..

to each there own .. but android devices MOVING Foreword will not have hardware buttons on the front of them This is a good thing in my opinion.. makes them look more sleek ..

good luck in your quest for a button to push
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
I think he successfully found quite a few people's buttons to push.
[Nexus 7 General] phillip1953:
I think they should include thought control. Why should I have to push a button to power it up? Next thing they should add is speech to text so we don't have to touch the device at all.

Maybe power buttons on all four corners AND on the top. That way we can make damn sure any bump or tap will power up the device.

The i *** group must be some really lazy people. :)
[Nexus 7 General] SolsticeZero:
I shouldn't even have to touch the thing at all! I want to control the whole damn thing with my mind! In fact, it should just beam its contents directly into my brain!

But seriously, if someone is complaining that pushing the button on the side is inconvenient or "a design flaw", they're just ****ing lazy. Simple as that.
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
you could just take the tablet back to the store.. Buy some type of blind fold.. Wear that and dream of using the nexus in your mind.. Do you really need to own the device to use it.. Imagination can be a very powerful thing..

I am closing my eyes and typing this message on my nexus 7 thru the power of brain to nexus air waves.. I so hope Apple does not patent this ahead of me
[Nexus 7 General] AFAinHD:

[Nexus 7 General] Jon12345:
I wouldn't want the iPad because its just not customisable enough. I only found out how good Android was compared to iOS about 5 months ago. Samsung has a button on their phone and its a best seller!
[Nexus 7 General] ITzRicardo94:
Use a case that got a magnet.. :) Or just glue a magnet to your hand and you can unlock it just my touching the device! Like me I bought mine and bought the Speck case with it and it got a mini magnet and everytime I close it, it locks and sleep and when I open it, it turns on! As simple as that..
[Nexus 7 General] Jon12345:
Just like the iPads screen protector. The only thing is I don't really need a case! It sits on my desk most of the time. Grrr!

I do love the device though, apart from the button issue. Before I bought it I was thinking maybe the 7" screen is too small, but in fact its perfect.
[Nexus 7 General] veeman:
Get a giant magnetic desk. When you place the Nexus on the table, it turns off. Pick it up, and it turns on. Problem solved.

You guys are silly, starting with that android vs apple crap over and over again.

I posted in this thread hoping to get a solution for this problem and not being told to buy an iPad. That's not why I am in this forum.

Fact is the power-button DOES face downwards and you WILL HAVE to pick it up prior to turning it on, in contrary to many other devices that are out here.
[Nexus 7 General] bstosnbata:
Say bye to your nex 7 once you drop it
[Nexus 7 General] TheAtheistReverend:
If you don't want a case, you could always get an attractive little magnet, or a tiny rare-earth magnet and put it in something small and attractive. Then just rig up a flap to hold it to your nexus. Flip it away when you want the screen on, flip it back on when you want it off. Maybe a magnetic ring to wear and pass by the sensor when you want to wake it, and either let the screen time out when done, or find an app that will turn the screen off. I know there is one, I just can't think of it off the top of my head and I'm at Costco taking a moment away from the madness to Zen out on the forum. Can't look it up... :)

[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
I noticed it bounce up slightly when you try turning it on. I think the OP wants it to not move at all because that incredibly slight movement is too inconvenient and frustrating to him. Maybe he can do a kickstart project for a front button mod?
[Nexus 7 General] issak42:
Yes that may be a big issue. But it only moves upwards because my fingers are big. Maybe Nexus 7 is only meant for people with small fingers, hmmm...

hello, i got a new explorer today, it has a chinese rom installed in it. with ton of bloatware and only 49mb free space

and superuser is already installed (but no market)

When i turned it off- took battery out- pulled it back- Power + volume down button- On top it showed UNLOCKED

does it mean bootloader is unlocked? or i have to do it

can I install another rom (stock from stock roms thread) without rooting and without installing recovery like twrp, or only without rooting and installing recovery only

Help me fast plz or any other way to flash rom without bootloader etc
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shortyoko:
If it says unlocked that meens it is unlocked, check out if it has recovery or not, without recovery you can't flash roms, install recovery then flash whatever you like.

Install twrp and flash any rom u like .....

which is the best stock rom. Indian stock giving issue of loudspeaker

[Motorola Droid RAZR] BATC42:
Hi everyone !

I have a XT910 and I want to try new ROMs, I've tried MIUI but I didn't like it. So I wanted to try CM9 (CM10 has too many non-working functions that I need) and I've downloaded the one on this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1801379

In order to flash MIUI I had to use CWM and apparently CM9 is not compatible with CWM, do I really need to use Safestrap (or BootMenu) ? Because I've read that I might not be able to flash anything else afterwards (I'd like to test Google Now : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1747224 for example) with Safestrap.

And If I have to use safestrap, how do I get rid of CWM ? I haven't found anything helpful yet...

Thanks :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 85gallon:
1. If a ROM developer says to use something, use it to flash the ROM unless you are advanced user. So use SS3 like the thread you pointed to says to do.

2. If you install SS3, it includes TWRP. The instructions for flashing Google Now in your other link says to use recovery software to flash like CWM or TWRP. So yes you can flash Google Now using TWRP that is built into SS3.

3. To unistall CWM, go to the thread where you learned how to install it for removal instructions.

4. Once you have SS3 installed you can add more ROMs to test at the same time.

did you check apn's and maybe try different radio, if you can--not sure on that as cm puts radio on a different partition than normal--flashing radios can be dangerous--

I'm developing an app that backs up and restores the saves of all Angry Birds Versions. For devices with Android 1.5 or higher I've written a simple input/output file stream, and it works.

On device with Android 4.1 or higher (due probably to the increased security) the Angry Birds saves require more permissions to be copied from my app (rwx isn't enough). Is there a way to change the permission adding root access in my app or is there a solution without adding root?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Root access? You can get it using the command su. You can run that command using this:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su")

Now you have root access, so you can change the permissions using the command chmod (and copy any file using the command cp)

An easier way to run commands as root? Check the RootTools lib ;)
