whatever it is it doesn't appear to be only the screen, even the LED light at the top is purple
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mutelight:
Ugh, that sucks! Glad to hear they are replacing it.

I think that is just the camera he is using picking up the gesture sensor.

This phone is to new for refurbished devices. It'll take a month or two before we start getting refurbished.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sparatan117:
Yeah this would be the first phone that I've ever had that happen to. It's kinda shocking. I don't think I'll get a referb with it being so new, but I'll find out tomorrow morning. I sweet talked the rep and got her to ship it overnight. Score haha.

I guess right now it doesn't bother me as much as when it was a stuck pixel. I know the lines there so it doesn't bother me as much. The pixel just annoys the crap outta you because you look for it every time you turn the phone on haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
I know how that is. Everytime my rezounds screen dark colored I would try to count how many dead pixels I could see in the nickel sized cluster of dead pixels it had. Most i could see were 12 lol. But didnt bother me enough to get a new one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klick37:
It is spreading!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scatteril:
got the same problem :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sparatan117:
Just got the new one in today. Brand new, looks like it was ready to go to some pre order person or something. Time to take it back to root! :)

Just call verizon, sit through their speil. Tell them you have a defective screen. They'll tell you to power cycle the phone, and do a factory restore. It will inevitably end with them sending you a new phone. Everything's gonna be fine :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shmuey:
Short story...this weekend I had my Gnex about 2 feet from a hot tub and was periodically changing songs on it, getting drops of water on the screen and sometimes wiping it off with a towel. Fast forward to an hour after leaving the hot tub (with a fully functioning phone) and my battery dies during a phone call. I plug in the phone (powered off) and a few hours later turn it on to see the screen black/white fuzzy like a tv without reception. I restart but see the same. I pull the battery and shove it in rice for a day... the phone vibrates upon powering up but now nothing at all shows on the screen. I dismantled the phone today and saw the water sensor attached near the charging port is pink. Any thoughts on how I can salvage the phone? My computer recognizes the Gnex but the folder appears completely blank. This phone has been through much worse, I can't believe small droplets on the screen did this. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I love the stock keyboard on the HTC One at this moment except in landscape mode, where the middle keys are larger than the side keys. This messes up how fast I type when I go to landscape mode.

Does anybody know a keyboard that is free and is nearly the same as the stock HTC One keyboard without the bigger central buttons issue?

I like the aosp keyboard with swipe. Plus it looks awesome
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antitryptic:
Pretty much going along with what everyone's saying here. SwiftKey is really good with predictions and "learning" what you'll type next. It has nice themes to go along with it, too. (Not sure if the free version has them though) The AOSP keyboard is similar, but less customizable. The predictions aren't as consistent as SwiftKey's, but they're still pretty decent. Either way, you can't go wrong. Just comes down to personal preference. (YMMV!) Me? I go with SwiftKey! :D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] enik_fox:
So after I flashed PAC I noticed the camera would not connect when I opened the camera app. Figured it was just an issue with the ROM so I flashed root box, still broken, then I flashed a ROM I had used the camera on before which was AOKP, but its still broken. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chance77:

That's what I was about to try, but I hate how going from 4.2 to 4.1 then back to 4.2 screws up the file system
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
They do have the downgrade zip, or are you meaning you hate that it leaves the excess file structures.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] enik_fox:
The excess files. Not that much of an issue just a nuisance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bL33d:
ya aosp roms even when camera works it will still give random camera disconnect errors that require reboots. giving up on aosp for now hopefully they get it figured out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Agreed completely
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] hwjrmrm:
thanks, work for 4.1.2??
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Yep! Should work for a broad range of devices
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] rlorange:
I've tried to make it as battery friendly as possible so please report how much battery it's using day to day :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] LoganMcClay:
Hi rlorange,

Thanks for that bright idea, finally we have a way to have widgets AND a decent security on 4.2.2 !

May I ask you if you plan to add new features to your neat app, as there is some improvement I see that would make it even better ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Akshay (Aky):
I loved this app.

Nicely designed, the Concept behind is really amazing.

I wanna contribute to this project more.

I am Dev to if your source code is on GIT then post the link.

Hope, more devs will contribute to make life easier with high security.

Note :- I am not forcing you to post the GIT or other stuff just an suggestion if you want take it else let it flow.

Waiting for it to come on PLAY STORE or SAMSUNG STORE

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] alvin551:
All I can say about this is WOW...I hate having a pin because u got to type pin in everytime..with this it has a time limit. ..pure genius..thnaks a lot
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Thanks! V1.1 is better! I'm going to focus on improving stability and keep it simple for now. I'm still getting the monitor fail on me and not bring the PIN up occasionally. I'll tweak the task system for now :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Actually I'm relatively noob and lack programming knowledge I used tasker app factory to make it :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] alvin551:
Could yiu make it unlock asoon as the pin is typed im? Instead of clicking the tick?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] rlorange:
I'll look into it :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Anyone else experiencing issues on 1.1?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] alvin551:
1.1?? Where?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] LoganMcClay:
Hi rlorange,

Same as you, sometimes v1.1 got bypassed and i've to clear app settings to get it working again.

Maybe you can try to do the same thing Go Locker do ; it takes the launcher place, and then runs the original or custom launcher, that way it get automatically called anytime the phone gets unlocked.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mindeboy:
Hello, working good so far. Any chance of having delay time of 5 seconds or so? Thanks for great app
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] alvin551:
Another request if possible...when I set my alarm in the morning and it goes off I have to type my pin in to deactivate it...any chance of making this app run behind the clock
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] rlorange:

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sea41win:
Awesome app and exactly what I was looking for. I did however find an interesting way to bypass the security on the Galaxy S4.

If you set the lockscreen to show camera instead of favourite apps, switching to the camera from the lockscreen (not the shortcut...there is an issue with that as well) the camera will open as expected. However, when you hit the back button or home button, you end up on your homescreen, completely bypassing the PIN lock.

As for the camera shortcut, when you use it, I found that the PIN pad ends up horizontal and then doesn't work. For some reason it will not register a 0 (zero). Is there a way to lock the orientation to portrait for the PIN pad?

Is there a way to prevent the PIN pad from popping up after phone calls? I've already unlocked my phone to access the phone but after a call it comes up again. I know I can adjust the time delay but hopefully you'll make it automatic so that the app knows the phone is still active, even if the screen goes off during a call. Guess it has to do with the face detection.

Also crashes sometimes when using lockscreen shortcuts.

Other than that, still awesome app.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jlp2185:
I've sort of got an issue. Occasionally I mistype my pin or my phone doesn't register the right keys when I'm typing it in and it takes FOREVER for that checkmark to appear so I can reenter the pin. Is there a way to put a backspace or a clear button on the keypad screen so I can quickly reenter my pin?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] xkip:
My feedback

Thank you for this app! Exactly what I'm looking for.

Galaxy S4 (9505)

My feedback:

1) Could you disable higlight of onscreen buttons while typing pin for sequrity purposes? On a such large screen it is really easy to look up pin from like 10 meters from a phone. I'm from Windows world (both tablet and phone) and for password boxes all on screen keyboards are not highlighted on pressing by default on Win7 and WP (actuall on WP it does but on really small amount).

2) At first UI is really confusing... I took a time before I've handled it. After opening I see uninitialized UI without my last state, but it changes to last state after 3 sec. Could you indicate somehow that you are loading settings? And could you change exit button to... e.g. 'Save'. Because I've pressed this 'X' button after configuring as a last resort (there are no other good option for closing) and beeing not sure is it save&close or close. After reopening I see that options are not saved... and only after like 3 seconds I see my options back. This is primary workflow and it is really confusing.

3) Could you provide a button like 'lock now'. It halps with a) testing of PIN behaviour while configuring or just at first time (without it I have to set 5 sec for testing and set my interval back after) b) helps to protect a phone if your absolutely sure that it should be locked now. E.g. phone charging, you should leave a room for a while and there are kids around it...

4) I have a problem with 'quick glance' feature (settings\device\motions and gestures\air gesture\quick glance). After I move my hand I got PIN screen instead of quick info.

5) For incomming call I got PIN. Never seen such behavoiur. WP, WM, iPhone, all them have swipe+delayed PIN mode, but all them allows to answer calls without PIN. I think I should be configurable and disabled by default.

6) If your swipe from up to bottom - as usual, notification bar appears. And it is working! So, I can go airplane mode without PIN...

7) When I double click home or just saying 'Hi Galaxy' on lock screen - S Voice launched. PIN request appears, but I can execute a wide set of voice commands.

Since concept is a workaround, it brings new issues. Did you think how that can be injected into system. Guys talking that Galasy S3 have similar. I'd like to be sure that my data is secure.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Hi mate Thank you so much for your valuable feedback!

Unfortunately I'm simply not skilled enough to implement most of your suggestions even though I would like to since I'm not a REAL app developer.

I've used Tasker app to make this by porting a project via app factory add-on into ac stand alone apk. So I'm limited by my knowledge of tasker and of course the limits of Tasker capabilities itself.

I may polish it a bit following your suggestions for some things but others would require real app development. Which I may learn some day :)

It should be possible for me to disable say the home button and soft keys etc. Until unlocked for extra security.

Also I plan to implement a complete lockout using the native Andriod security PIN system which can be activated remotely by texting a secret code word from any phone.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] rlorange:
Hey guys I need some Beta testers for a brand new version coming soon. This time it uses the v native Android PIN lockscreen and secure settings to activate it...

On the downside the unlock PIN can't be user selected I will make several versions each with a different PIN which I will pm those who choose 1.

Please pm me for a BETA test

Request / Suggestion

Hi There!

I didn´t get exactly what your app do, but i´d like to suggest you to use your task habilites to build an app that make us able to slide to unlock until pattern locks get activated by time interval.

On Jelly Bean it´s stock feature, but on kitkat (I´m using LiquidSmooth custom rom) i couldn´t find a way to do this.

I´m saying that if i set locktime to 5 minutes for example, i´d like the phone to unlock with slide until this time (5 minutes or whatever), and then i could unlock just using pattern/password/pin as selected on security settings.

I think it´s simple, but don´t have any idea how to do it.

It´s like

Lock time: x minutes

screen off < lock time: slide to unlock

screen off > lock time: pattern/password/pin

ps: i´ve seen a lot of people looking for this, and nobody can make it. Help us :angel:

edit:

there´s even an scheme right here, but i can´t do... (I´m noobie you know)

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s1lenz:
I'm interested in purchasing one, but for $500 and midrange specs it really needs to deliver on the screen for me. How is it? Im not so much concerned with resolution as much as precise color calibration thats not washed out or too warm/cold.

how does it look for you guys?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanyunis:
Well, this is not a midrange tablet, is a high end, don't get confused because is using the Snapdragon S4 Pro instead of the S600, there are not tablets that perform better than this one, also 2GB RAM, 1200p resolution (1920x1200), NFC, IR Port, Bluetooth 4.0, Dual Band WIFI a/b/g/n, microsd card slot upto 64GB. Check this review for more details about performance.

Also the screen is pretty good, has good viewing angles, great brightness, and pictures/videos looks awesome, the touch panel is very sensitive.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjdalessio:
I'll see about getting some data when I get mine (should be Monday.) I don't have the fanciest calibration tools but good enough for the basics we're taking about here. I also have a calibrated desktop setup as well as a pile of other tablets and phones to compare to for subjective analysis.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordblacksuca:
This is not a midrange tablet. This is top of market right now.

I payed 700 for it. Plus another 150 on my country's customs. And it really really worth it.

When you have it on your hands, is just perfect!

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s1lenz:
sorry guys, i don't mean to offend but when I say midrange i mean:

- the resolution is still 1200p vs 1600p on the nexus 10

- the s4 chip, as great as it is, is devoured by the exynos 5250 in benchmarks which is in the nexus 10 (http://www.androidauthority.com/exynos-5-dual-benchmarks-125134/ reference)

when you're talking purely features (waterproof, lightest 10" tablet on the market, solid build, ir port, nfc, sd card slot, sim card lot) yes, you're right its top of the line. but as far as hardware specs go, to put it in perspective the next nexus 7 will either have an s4 pro or a 600 with the same resolution and cost roughly $300 less.

why does hardware matter? aren't those just numbers we geek over? well, often times manufacturers will push higher resolution screens on soc's that just aren't up to the task for it.

Like I said, I don't mind paying for the premium as I dont care about the resolution but I'm just concerned about the color accuracy. do the colors look washed out? is it like the nexus 7 and the nexus 10 which both have ips and (i forget samsung's proprietary panel used for the n10, which is supposively better then IPS), but in the end doesnt really matter because both screens are so horribly calibrated that its wasted?

the thing I'm actually pretty stoked about with this tablet running the S4 is that franco and paranoid android were able to create a nexus 4 color calibration kernel which works miracles for that screen. Coincidentally, thats the same chip used on the Z. I'm not sure how much support this tablet will have, but if Franco takes interest, the Xperia Z's screen will look spectacular after a color tweak...
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iisshaun:
I really hope the whites on mine aren't too warm. I would hate to turn this thing on and see it with that layer of pee-yellow on top that my 1st gen iPad and Galaxy Nexus suffered from.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trno:
As you said n10 screen got its own issues. There is question if there is need for such ppi in large devices we don't tend to hold close to face. And i wonder if future devices will chase after resolution knowing the price (atm there are only 3 android 10" tablets with HD+ screens. Color wise its very nice, warmer but not oversaturated like Samsung. However to know how it does compared to others we need to wait for RGB replication test.

In terms of speed XTZ is ahead of N10 in cpu (except single thread apps) raw power. N10 does better in browser test due to google optimalisation (in chrome or 4.2 i don't know). Mali is stronger raw what off-screen tests show. However on-screen n10 extreeme resolution works against it puting it behind http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_tablet_z-review-931p5.php .

So atm its high end, it wont be when tegra4 an s800 hit market.
