[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] conquereddroiduser:
I'm unrooted, stock with the latest firmware. Since the upgrade to JB i've noticed a couple of times where I've tried to take pictures in low-light, and been unable to get my exposure setting to work. The slider moves back and forth just fine, but the preview and pictures are stuck on the low exposure settings and thus everything comes out very dark. If I force close the camera app, when I first open it back up, I get a 1/2 second of the correct exposure setting in the preview before it darkens back. I've tried clearing the app's data, and can't find a rhyme or reason why this happens from time to time.

Also, I used a 3rd party camera (JellyBean+) and was able to adjust the exposure with no issues. Any suggestions for the stock app?
[LG Optimus G (International)] taylorheaps:
Is there a rom besides the stock lgog rom that has the buttons that are not on the screen? Also that would work for the e973.
[LG Optimus G (International)] wargreymon89:
Pretty sure both the CM10.1 and AOSP rom has capacative button support now. Check the canadian subforum that is for e973.
[LG Optimus G (International)] taylorheaps:
ill try that thanks, i had both of them but it was for the canadian variant.
[LG Optimus G (International)] wargreymon89:
Thought E973 was Canada only, then again there are so many versions of this phone Im going nuts.
[LG Optimus G (International)] taylorheaps:
yah im pretty sure. would the american roms work for my phone?
[LG Optimus G (International)] phoenix_rizzen:
AOSP 4.2.1 thread includes a separate .zip you flash to get capacitive keys to work. And there's info on editing build.prop to remove the onscreen nav bar.

AOKP 4.2.1 is also compatible with the .zip above to enable capacitive keys. Then you go into Settings and set the nav bar height to 0 to disable it.

CM 10.1 has support for capacitive keys in the ROM. There's some stability issues they're tracking down right now, so its really only usable by those willing to test and report issues.

IOW, all the ROMs available support cap keys. :)

The E973 *is* a Canadian variant. The Bell/Tel us variant.

The E971 is the Rogers variant.

I believe the E970 variants are the US ones.

Not sure where the E975 is for.

[Blade General] huabs:
hey guys, i just bricked my zte blade (which i wanted to give to my father :(), and i have no clue how to unbrick, or if it even is possible...

had it converted from gen1=>gen2 for the last rom i used to have (swedishsnow something) and wanted to restore it to stock rom via cwm, but after that i got looped at the big green android figure and it won't let itself get into cwm recovery with the button combinations.

now I'm stuck there, i even dl the zte firmware flasher but even there (it won't be recognized in windows7 but i installed all the drivers, the only thing it gets connected is via ADB interface - usb modem phone adb port) is no way to install/flash another rom/kernel what so ever ...

I even now downloaded adt bundle sdk for android to maybe connect with the terminal emulator?

I have no more clues on how to solve this mobile phone :(
[Blade General] wbaw:
Try the gen1 -> gen2 tpt again. It'll reinstall clockworkmod. Then install a gen2 rom, rather than trying to go back to stock.

Hi!

Particularly to people who've owned their GS3 for a number of months: has your screen become a oil/fingerprint magnet? It didn't used to be one in the beginning, but now I get it all the time (I got it in July 2012).

Sometimes, I get that odd rainbow effect when the oil just kind of "sits" on the screen. Disgusting, I know, but my hands aren't that oily...it just seems to pick up a lot more of it than it used to!

I just wipe it on my pants (lol): what do you guys do, if yours has this issue?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] IUH1991:
I think that's a property inherent to every touchscreen. Good thing about this one, though, is that it's very easy to clean.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dLo GSR:
the oleophobic coating has probably worn off
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
I have a zagg HD invisible skin. Super easy to clean. Don't even know its there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
Its developed micro scratches that are holding in the oils more.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
@CZ Eddie

If I tilt just right in the light, I do have some faint tiny scratches on the screen, but the "finger smears" are all over the screen (i.e. not localized to the scratches). But, I can see them playing a small part...

@dLo GSR

The oleophobic coating! That actually makes a ton of sense, as it just attracts oil like crazy. I Google'd it and it's a known problem with Apple iPhones and iPads (even the iPhone 5's manual says the coating will wear off!). Samsung's manual is worthless in this regard, but I don't think they've got anything better than Apple.

@KorGuy

Yeah, I think I have two options: screen protector (which will also protect against scratches) or re-apply the oleophobic coating (as stated through this iFixIt guide). Hmm...I need to sleep on this (the screen protector looks a lot simpler, haha).

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Anonymously_Unknown:
This is exactly what has happened. For this reason, I don't clean my screen unless absolutely necessary.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eortizr:
you have two options, buy this http://www.amazon.com/Anti-fingerprint-Oleophobic-SmartPhone-necessary-yourself/dp/B008HVBU9O

or just apply RainX, it will make it more easy to clean.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] geoldr:
I used to have Ghost Armor, but after it got all yellow and orange peely, I threw in the trash. Now I use a super cheap screen protector that came with my really nice case, but its a fingerprint magnet.

Can I just apply RainX to it and it will be better? I have RainX in my garage.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
Right...I didn't know about RainX working here (wouldn't it stop hydrophillic things, like water, but not hydrophobic things, like oil?), but it also only lasts 3-4 months on a car (http://www.rainx.com/tips-information/faqs/), so maybe 1 year on a phone? How do you know it's safe to use on the phone?

Yes, the Fusso I listed above; it again only lasts for 3-6 months. Here's a review posted last week of someone using it on their iPad: generally positive, but a commenter also mentions some car waxes as cheaper alternatives.

Cleaner that adds a finger proof coating

Hesitant to try a product intended for Apple products...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wilcox12:
Since iPhone also uses gorilla glass I wouldn't think it would be a problem. But I'm still waiting on someone to try these products first! :D

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

From what I've read the best way to clean your screen is to use distilled water and a microfiber cloth. Supposedly the toxins in tap water can be harmful to your screen. You can get a gallon of distilled water at the grocery store for like 70cents, which is what I've been doing since I bought my screen protector and so far oleophobic coating is still intact!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tmagritte:
Unless you're living somewhere where the tap water is not treated, there shouldn't be any toxins in your tap water. If there are, you've got much bigger problems than oily smartphone screens... There will be some minerals in there and maybe fluoride. I doubt there's anything in tap water that would damage your screen, not that there's anything wrong with using distilled water. In either case, a damp microfibre cloth or a drop of water on your screen wiped with a microfibre cloth should be very effective at cleaning the screen and probably much safer than alcohol or solvent based cleaners (although the literature I've read on Gorilla glass suggests it's resistant to alcohol, acetone and a number of other chemicals, but maybe over time they do wear down the coating).

In any case, I'm really responding to this thread because I recently discovered this product:

http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/HOW-TO-COAT-Anti-Fingerprint-Oleophobic-Coating-by-yourself/9682/

Purchase at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008HVBU9O?tag=ifixitam-20

Here's one with a few reviews: http://www.amazon.com/API-Fingerpri...&ie=UTF8&qid=1361976179&sr=1-1&keywords=fusso

I personally wouldn't put a lot of faith in anything from Monster (maybe they're better now but to me they will always be the company selling ludicrously overpriced HDMI cables and suing anyone with "monster" anywhere in their name regardless of context). But this product looks interesting. It seems to be similar to the original coating used on Gorilla and similar glasses.

I'm wondering if it adds scratch resistance and reduces visibility of existing scratches. If so, I think I'd prefer adding a coat of this every 3 months than using a screen protector. I have a semi-broken HTC phone with the original Gorilla Glass which happens to have a small but visible scratch on it. I think I'm going to order one of these and use the HTC screen to test it on. If it works well I'll try in on my S3 which has a much bigger scratch. I suspect it will be very difficult to photograph but I'll post results when I get it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dLo GSR:
it does.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
I like that Rain-X option...

I'll probably even try some Aquapel on my good ol' GS1 next time I treat my windshield! :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Wouldn't it be simpler to put on a screen protector? I've had a screen protector on mine since day 1 (not even costly, I think I got like 3 for less than $10), and its still going strong... hard to say its even there :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brjig:
I have a regular screen protector, i have zero issues with oil and fingerprints

I did opt in for that rhino screen protector tho, that looks really nice.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Booboo64:
THis. I purchased cheap (~$1 each on eBay) matte screen protectors. Helps with glare and keeps the screen smudge free! But I agree, you have to like the anti-glare look; but I do....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cougmeister:
Some people dont like screen protectors because they can distort colors and reduce visibility of the screen. I personally havent had much luck with screen protectors. They end up attracting more oil than a naked screen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eortizr:
The S3 is not designed to have screen protectors, with the curved glass, having a SP is very annoying since it is really noticeable and when you swipe near the edge you can actually feel it. So for me is naked all the time, no case, no SP, just take care of it like a baby.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
This has always been my dilemma. No matter which protector I try (clear, hard are the only types acceptable), the oil accumulation is way worse than no screen protector.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
I hope the S4 has an inward sloping concave screen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Concave reduces view angle. Plus it gives a perspective of a thicker phone. Not sure if any phone manufacturer would do that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ecip:
Treated tap water has plenty of toxins that are actually mixed in during treatment, the big ones being chlorine and fluoride, neither of which should be ingested.

Anyone else have an issue with the home button being too recessed with a screen protector? It makes it a tad more diffixult to get a good solid press (ive got big hands). I used a skinomi one (applied with a spray) and it seems its too thick. I've purchased another I hope its not as annoying.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :

I hope no one is using RainX on their phone's screen. If you're concerned about what tap water and Windex is doing for your screen, RainX is doing much worse!

RainX's main ingredient is a petroleum solvent. While I love the stuff (for my car) I'd never use it on anything that isn't a window or a mirror. Especially something as delicate as a smart phone screen :eek:.

A better alternative is a quality non cleaner (non abrasive) car wax. I have a container of pure carnauba I use on my car, bike, helmets etc. It's safe for just about any gloss surface and it leaves a layer of protection to protect against scratches.

The problem is you'll have to reapply every couple weeks. But as it is, I usually reapply more often anyway, whenever I am giving my phone a good clean.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Domoo:
I would think it'd be better to apply a pure synthetic wax. Carnauba wax is known for the depth it adds to car paints. If you want durability, synthetic wax will stay on 2-3 times longer and apply the same UV protection, scratch resistance, and water beading effect.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brennen.exe:
My EVO 4G has been retired for a while now, and during that time I still played around on it with roms as they progressed, but now my wife's phone is broken and we cannot / do not want to upgrade or buy a new phone, so for the next month or two she needs to use my old EVO 4G. Problem is, I can't activate it.

I know I need a Sense ROM to activate, so I have flashed three different ROMs and each has the same problem: just about all apps crash when the ROM boots up. I have done multiple wipes, superwipes, etc, etc. but I think the problem is related having been on Jelly Bean? (CM10)

All I need is to activate the phone, then I can nandroid back to CM10...
