[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dönerdürüm:
Hello :)

Today i opened the Service Test on my Note 2 (Open Dialer, enter *#0*#). I tested everything and noticed the "Barcode Emulator Test". I chose a code and pressed the "START"-Button. The testing window displayed "Beaming ..." and the proximity sensor lightend up red. I never seen before that there was a red light and i wasn't able to find any information about it on the internet. Does anyone know what it is and what it does?

It's not very bright and when i use the sensor test, the proximity sensor works but doesn't light up (at least not that intensive).

And what is about the barcodes?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimzonEyed:
Try activate quick glance in motion settings and you get the same red light
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3_:
The red light is given off by the proximity sensor. It's more noticeable in low light.

Basically from what I understand the proximity sensor emits infrared light but some of the light emitted is in the lower end of the visible light spectrum so you see a bit of red light given off
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dönerdürüm:
First of all, thanks [MENTION=2926611]CrimzonEyed[/MENTION], i didn't know that feature yet :)

And i know the red light comes from the proximity sensor, but it's far more intensive if you use the barcode test thing. if you do that, you can see the red light even with normal enviroment light
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam5154:
as D3_ said Proximity sensor uses infrared. and in fact you can see a red light under any light,except for direct sunlight.you can see it at the time of taking with the phone.

btw , what is this barcode test for? my phone just shows "Beaming..." and nothing happens.even the proximity sensor is off.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] croatia1:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BratPAQ:
barcode apps uses camera, AFAIK, not infrared
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelestat:
I read somewhere that the phone has the ability to transmit barcodes to other barcode readers.

This would use ir as barcode scanners at tills in shops etc us ir to read the codes.

never seen it actually work though.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
That doesn't make sense. Wouldn't it be easier to just display the barcode on the screen and then scan it with a barcode reader rather than all that hassle.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam5154:
guess they can't scan Image generated by an active display unit like LCD or AMOLED.The protecting glass is so shiny for that scanner To be able to differentiate between black & white.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny5rinjak:
I use a barcode generator to generate cuopon barkodes for my local store, and the barcode scaner is adle to scan on my screen all the time...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ben_gate:
Its happen to me when i had a phone call with quick glance turn on. after reboot it disappeared. the problem comes again after i hv a phone call.

temp solution 1: turn off quick glance.

temp solution 2: turn off " screen off during call" in the call setting.

I'm still looking for a permanent fix, anyone has an idea?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrMuhammadElHanafy:
your permanent fix is to live with it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marduj5:
I had the same problem nothing helped only I bought proximity sensor and replaced it and now it is OK.Proximity sensor is conected with front camera and must be replaced together.You can do it in service but I did it myself cause I dont have guarantie and knew what I am doing.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haenraets:
So I bought the nokia 820 and I'm very happy with it at this moment.

But I have a little question.

I've got an xbox music pass and putting my music in the cloud.

But I've also got an SD-card with alot of music on it.

Alot of the albums that are in the cloud are also on my SD-card.

So when I play an album like this it will always play like track 01, 2 times, track 02, 2 times etc...

Also when I select the option Only SD or Only Cloud.

Is there a way to play only one song without turning off the Cloud option.

Thanks!!
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Sadly, this is simply an issue which Microsoft is dumb about. Although cool in theory, the execution of the Xbox Music service has managed to be a downgrade from the Zune Pass service despite being little more than a re-branding. It's really quite lame.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigkiler5:
Hello everyone

I didn't have screen guard installed but only the protective covering. Now it is scratched a lot and I wanna change it. Can I simply remove it and then install a new screen guard? And do non-stickey screen guards come for our phone? Even with least amount of sweat, screen gets sticky and its impossible to move finger over it. Any suggestions?

By non sticky I meant kinda ones we have on s3 and iphones
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakuburban:
Yeah, You can simply remove it. Xperia x10 has something like plastic screen, so it will always be sticky and will stop responding with water on it :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigkiler5:
Dont we have some non sticky screen guard? I asked some people but they said no...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakuburban:
I never changed that but I think there's no non sticky protection for our screens. Even on my sgs2 it's still sticky
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigkiler5:
It becomes very annoying if you are playing game without ac in summers when screen starts sticking. I am a hardcore gamer and whenever ibsit for gaming, 2 hours easily pass:D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakuburban:
Buy iGloves :)

Nah, I'm just joking, You can't do anything. Maybe there's some special screen protection without this effect but I don't know. If Google doesn't help You then nothing can
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigkiler5:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Goneeuro:
So I just installed the latest beanstalk build. Clean install. Now my computer won't recognize the phone at all. Any ideas where to start.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Goneeuro:
I'm assuming it has something to do with the new partitioning maybe. It just mounted the internal storage wrong maybe?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Goneeuro:
Ok. So i grabbed a micro SD card to see if that would change anything. It doesnt. The phone is still not recognized by the computer. Ive tried a few USB cables and three computers (2 win8 and 1 win7). The phone charges from the computer fine. I tried my nexus 7 with both cables and all computers also. They saw the N7 no problem. So it is something in the phone. Thanks for any ideas you throw my way.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Goneeuro:
OK. Fresh clean flash and same problem. Silly question but can I just flash back to an older build to see if that fixes it. Only reason I ask is the partions. Thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
You would need to flash a stock "unbrick" package first, then flash your way back to JB via the usual methods... starting here for the stock packages:

Heimdall - http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1524081

-or-

Odin - http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=27286083
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Goneeuro:
Damn. I was afraid of that. Oh well. Thanks. Any ideas what caused it?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
Your phone issue sounds like loss of imei info. That sometimes happens during the convert to jb. Revert to stock usually fixes that.

2nd item - there are no back conversions for the partition layout other than the stock packages.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Goneeuro:
Thanks. Downloaded the Odin packages. Used them plenty of times. Guess I have a Sunday project. Thanks again. :thumbup:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Goneeuro:
OK. So little update. No idea what happened, but I plugged my phone into my laptop to charge so I could begin the the process of going back to stock and it was imediatly recognised. I didn't change anything. Just bam worked.
[LG Optimus G (International)] szewasek:
I was recently looking for a way to enhance the look of the screen-off animation on LG Optimus G (preferably the CRT Off animation) and I found no thread about it in the LGOG xda section. I read there is some way to edit ur framework-res file and turn it on, still I was wondering if someone was able to do that before and could share his work with others here. Another thing is the animation used in LGOG I found in some review/hands-on (the one with a closing camera lens-like - cant post outside link for now - youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dvzBuhuhx3E#!)

My Optimus G doesnt't have that kind of animation - is it possible to turn it on somewhere in phone options (couldn't find anything), or was this animation only used in ICS software from LG (I'm on JB now, ofc)? If so, is it able to port it to JB? My LG's screen just turns black whenever I block the device - I have no animation whatsoever... :(
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] andygee:
The mic on my phone has stopped working. Does anyone have any ideas as to why or what I can do to fix it? If I use a headset it works fine, but I'd rather not have to use a headset all of the time.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] andygee:
Hehe.....I bought a new housing for my xdaii and I didn't realize that the microphone part was in the front of the case and had to be transferred. I figured this out a few minutes ago and all seems well now.
[HTC Droid DNA] ScreenSpace:
For the life of me I can't seem to find a way to have the phone notify me (once or more times) with a periodic sound after having missed a call.

I know it's right in front of me but I've gone through every setting and can't find it.

Thanks

5. Reboot (go to System --> Display and turn off notification light).

6. In Settings - language and text - choose your language.

Enjoy!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
The build I am compiling will have rtl support in advanced settings!

But IDK if it will have languages in built.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Airflip, talk about it after you actually post a build. This whole "Look what I'm gonna do" is getting really old. I wish you the best in your quest to build ROMs but at some point you actually have to build something.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
I have built roms. I have posted screenies, and I have posted some beta builds. Just because it isn't in the dev section doesn't mean that I haven't done anything with it. Right now AOKP seems to be having a lib issue, and I have exams, so I can't really build until then. Also, I don't see a problem with it since all the other devs do it. https://github.com/airfluip1/androi...mmit/cf07012b06b4ae3bcf2914fe698778a3c31b3cd4 is where you can see this change I made.

Also if you didn't catch it, http://d-h.st/Lke is a link to one of my builds
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
None that I respect do it. It's one thing to say your going to do something. It's another thing entirely to come into other Devs threads and say "I'm gonna fix this" or "My ROM will have this". It comes across the wrong way. It would be like AOKP members coming into a CM thread and trying to one up them. It doesn't ever happen and that's because those guys have mutual respect for each other. I'm just letting you know how it comes across in print. It's up to you to figure out what to do with that info.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
I apologize if it came across the wrong way though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
First of all - both of you are off thread topic !!!

Second, Airfluip has built things in the past and he has the capabilities.

I see no difference in posting "what I am doing" comparing to "who's ready for a flood" or "who wants some audioXX loving" which were all posted by our best and proven devs.

Third, RTL support is built in since ICS was out, there's no need to add anything.

I think the few contributors we still have here need a little more respect than given, that's all.

Even this simple resource adding required about 250 de/re-compiling and content copies, and it took some hours.

Now back on topic.

Hi Folks,

If i buy a S4 in a SAMSUNG Store in the UK (London) - will the Firmware/ROM will be completely unbranded?

which 3 letters denotes such Firmware? i.e 9505XX***? will i get OTA updates even if i'm not in London later on ?

Will such a Firmware have the option to add a Hebrew keyboard and input ?

is it part of the original OS or SAMSUNG remove it for the UK market?

thanks

Thanks

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damador:
Why you need ota if you can get any firmware from here
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taltalon:
Well i'm looking for a Samsung official firmware that can be updated from Samsung like any other.

i dont want root or custom it. i just want something similar to what i get from an iOS experience. Official updates by samsung to device

as far as i get it the updates for S4 are controlled by the Operators, if i buy at the samsung store will i get updates which are not controlled by the operators. We know that operators do not release updates quickly and its annoying.

Here in .IL the i9505 is not the official phone - here its the i9500 and no lte. the i9505 is being sold here non official yet with a customized firmware that translated the TW to hebrew (YUCK) which is made by someone unknown :( - no idea how i can put a Samsung official (English firmware) that will get me updates, and will also support allow to install the built in hebrew input keyboard. no need for a hebrew gui.

any ideas?

thanks

Thanks a lot Odia !

I have two options - but an i9500 Octa core here with no LTE (LTE will be here in 1-2 years) or the i9505 in London.

What do you guys recommend? the i9505 as far as i see is not that bad and will support future LTE here while the i9500 will be hard to get rid off as everyone will want an LTE phone then...

:)

Thanks guys !

best place to buy unadulterated S4 is amazon... make sure you buy from amazon not from third party sellers selling in amazon... I would get the LTE version if you want LTE.
