I believe so, unless you pull the battery. In fact pull battery plug into usb and go into down load mode and see if it restarts. Or go into recovery without holding power button, and if you can then that means the power button is stuck on.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nightwulfss:
I have tried that as well. Whenever it goes into download mode the screen goes black after a couple of seconds. And it doesn't boot into recovery as well since it seems to go dead too quick.

I mainly just want to recover my pictures at this point. I am leaving the battery out of the phone for the day and see if that makes a difference this evening.

I am out of ideas, lol

Take the six acres it and open her up, Take out button off and clean it and where it goes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
Pretty sure the flex cable on you're power button is not working as intended, could be a short from a rain drop or just everyday wear and tear another issue could be that the battery is fried and can't hold a charge, but this seems unlikely given you're circumstance.

I always tell people to utilize pie controls to save you're everyday use from wearing out our precious hardware buttons, My power and home only get pressed to wake the device, everything else is pie control via LMT launcher

That happened to me a few months ago. I was at work when it happened. The phone would just continually restart, vibrate, restart, back and forth. I ended up taking the battery out so it wouldn't get drained. Had it out for about four hours. Once I got home, I put it back in and never had any more problems. It was just a random thing, so try keeping the battery out for a while.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nightwulfss:
I'll keep my fingers crossed. I took the phone apart last night to clean it out and it was pretty spotless. But It keeps shutting off after trying to boot after a few seconds. I just hope I can get to a point where I can get my pictures off of it now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] axel4401:
Hello all, as an update, I did nothing to my S3 over the weekend haping something magical could happen.

Today I went through all the normal steps again, and still a dead soldier. Now it wont ever SHow the Samsung logo however - just a short vibrate then nothing..

Still get a red light and a short vibrate when plugging into the comp without battery in though.

I have NOT taken it apart yet, but I will tonight most likely.

Thanks for all the suggestions and Ill keep this updated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] axel4401:
Hello again,

Some news, I am able to get it into download mode for about 1 second then the phone shuts off - just like the other person in this thread with the same issue.

I took the phone apart and used a Qtip with 91% isopropyl Alcohol to try and clean the power button (which looks surprisingly clean). Still the same thing happening.

I'm running out of ideas here, so please chime in if you have any.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nightwulfss:
I was going to try the alcohol tonight, but I am afraid that I will have same results. I am going to try a new battery from another s3 tomorrow. I will post the results.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] axel4401:
Final update (hopefully)

I got the qtip and scrubbed anything to do with the battery, pressed the power button, got more alcohol in by the button (not a lot) scrubbed some more terminals, and the battery terminals, etc. waited about ten minutes and put the battery in...

Low and behold, something worked and now the phone comes on.

I dont know which part of the scrubbing actually did it, but something worked.

All in all I have no idea what actually fixed it, but the point is that it works.

Thank you for who those that insisted that it was a power button issue - you were most likely right.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nightwulfss:
So here are my results as of today, and what I have tried to get to this point:

After my S3 died and wouldn't boot up into recovery i tried cleaning all the internals with alcohol. I cleaned thoroughly, and focused on the charging port, the power switch and battery terminals. The phone acted exactly the same.

I then tried putting it in a bowl of rice for about 24 hours. I was thinking that it might have been caused by some condensation. No success.

I was thinking since the power would turn on whenever i plugged the battery in, that maybe the switch was stuck. I took it apart again and tested the switch with a multi-meter. The switch seemed fine. It was responding when i pushed it, so i figured that wasn't the problem.

I kept reading that apparently this is an issue with the mother board. I tried the broken PS3 method of heating up the motherboard with a heat gun in hopes to re-seat something that may be loose. This did not work either. After this, I figured i was SOL since I was out of ideas and out of warranty (which didn't really matter anyway since I am running Hyperdrive).

Earlier today I figured the best tool in your toolbox sometimes is a hammer. I started tapping the phone on the side of my table, especially around the power button, while trying to turn it on. It didn't seem like it was doing anything either. I then plugged the phone into the charger since i thought the battery was totally dead.

A few minutes after i walked away from the phone, I came back into room and the red charging light was on. I tried turning it on, and holy cow it works...wtf...

I have no idea what made this work. It could be a complete coincidence. But, this phone has not worked since last Saturday. I just kept messing with it and may have just gotten lucky. I don't think banging your phone will fix this, but if truly was a hardware issue, maybe something in the phones mother board is becoming loose from the extreme heat they endure at times. I know my S3 has gotten pretty hot when I use it to navigate and leave it in the case.

I don't know if any of this will help anyone, but this is my experience so far of my S3 having what I think is the sudden death failure. I will followup with any updates if it decides to act up again.

Hey all

Just a heads up - I am on TriForce Rom with the KToonzKernel 7/24. Just wanted to thank this community for unplugging me from The Matrix that can be this cellphone. Phones running better daily.

Anyways,

I am a huge instagram user and I was trying to figure out what would be the best way to squeeze the best quality out of my photos without degrading them for Instagram. I have been using a few "cropping" apps which allow the photo to fit and be entirely posted on the program. However this sometimes compromises the quality of the photo. While it's not noticeable to some smaller screens, it is too me. Any ideas?

Sorry if this has been posted before, but couldn't find something similar.

I got this bug with my back on-screen key where when I press the back button, it functions as the multi-tasking/recent apps button. See the video for further reference.

Anyone else got this issue? All the time the back button acts as recent apps button. very annoying.

[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Thanks, I like this :)

I like the modern design and the dark theme.

A request ... In the widgets, it would be good if the user could choose the number of lines to display per item of news. To clarify, I'd like to see the main news item in bold at a user defined size along with maybe a line or two (as opted by me) of the news details. The headline alone does not allow me to understand if the item is worth opening. To get an idea of the look of the widget I intend, look at Scrollable news widget

Another thing is ... to keep in line with the latest Gmail, remove the refresh button and let the user pull down to refresh.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] fr_ju:
Hi!

Sorry for the late answer, with the holidays I forgot it :p

Concerning the widget, I agree there is lot of improvements to do. This is not my priority because I would like to add some features to the application before (search, tablet support), but I'll do it and make FeedEx News Reader better and better, I just need time :)
[Android Apps and Games] z-vet:
Great app, thank you for this. I give you five stars in Play Store. Finally i can get rid of annoying feedly. :)

I have a question, though: how does exclusion filter work? Tried to apply it to some feed, seems not to work or i can't understand something. Let me explain. I read some russian news site called Mignews. The problem with them is that they don't post sport news in separate feed, and i totally uninterested in sport news. Every sport-related entry has a title starting with 'MIGsport:' and the actual title after it, so i thought i can filter these entries out by entering MIGsport: and checking «Apply to title», but these entries are still there. I am doing something wrong or don't understand the purpose of filtering?
[Android Apps and Games] fr_ju:
Thanks for the stars :) I'm glad to see that some people really like FeedEx.

Concerning your issue, I think the filter is working but you have to know that it's effective only on futur news. The already downloaded news are kept, even if they match with the filter.

Can you confirm me that?
[Android Apps and Games] z-vet:
Well, I understand. Let me check it for couple of hours and I'll report back.
[Android Apps and Games] fr_ju:
Ok, if it's does not work, then there is chances that there is a bug inside FeedEx :(
[Android Apps and Games] z-vet:
I don't think it's a bug, let's wait and see. I set the app to auto-refresh every 30 minutes. What I'm going to do is to compare my timeline in FeedEx with desktop reader and my girlfriend's one. This way I'll know for sure. Will report my results later today. :)
[Android Apps and Games] z-vet:
OK, tested and filtering works for newly downloaded entries! Thanks a lot! :)
[Android Apps and Games] fr_ju:
You're welcome.

I agree it's a little confusing, I should explain this somewhere into the app ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ssergey:
Thank you for your application, it is very convenient! Tell me, are there plans to make a list of feeds foldable and add the ability to reduce the font in the "news"? On my Note2 they look very big.
[Android Apps and Games] fr_ju:
Hi!

Sorry for the late answer :(

Concerning the possibility to fold the feeds, I was possible before but not today. I remove it to allow to clic on a group and to have more simplicity into the navigation drawer. For my use, the folding feature is still present into the feed edit screen to allow to move them easily into groups.

So I'm sorry but there is currently no plans for adding it again.

And concerning the font size can you post a screenshot or explain where exactly do you find the font too big?
[Android Apps and Games] darsh:
Hi HoloAddict!

Nice program, thanks for your excellent work. By the looks of it, the only developing standalone RSS feed reader with offline mode on the market.

Some feature suggestions for this app:

- would be nice to be able to configure font and font size. I find current font the program uses is a bit inconvenient for my eyes. I would prefer the one used by gReader. But others may like the current font. Would be nice to have it configurable.

- would be nice to have per-channel settings for number of items and item expiration. Would also be nice to be able to prevent unread items from being automatically cleared (but still clear the read ones).

- would be nice to have channel groups collapsing and expanding in the channel list - this would save space in the channel list and optimise it's navigation.

- buttons "Show original text" and "See in browser" in the article reading mode - can you make them smaller or move to the header row? Or at least make this option configurable? For short articles they take half of the screen :)

- would be nice to have "back" button to return you from article list to channel list, and not quit the program (this might be personal. I just got used to this hierarchy: channel list --> article list --> article).

Apart from that - great app, thanks for your work!

Darsh
[Android Apps and Games] fr_ju:
Hi!

Thanks for the comments!

Concerning your questions:

You're the second one who tell me this. I personnally prefer the one use by feedex (otherwise I would not have choose it ;) ), I believe it's less tiring. Do other people think as darsh?

I do not want the first part (to keep it simple), but the second part is interesting, I think I'll implement it.

It was like this before, but I changed my mind to keep simplicity (code and UI) and allow some actions like clicking on a group. Moreover I used group collapsing especially for feed sorting, not for reading it everyday.

I do not understood this one... Why the size of these buttons is a problem ? They are always at the bottom of the text.

You're not the only one to ask me this. I could do it but this is against the android principle of a navigation drawer. Look at the gmail app, the back button doesn't open the drawer. And if I do like you said, I can't quit the app with the back button... Moreover, the back button should do what it's aimed for: going back, not open a menu.
[Android Apps and Games] z-vet:
[MENTION=5268627]HoloAddict[/MENTION]: Actually, I wanted to ask for same: to place «Retrieve the full text» and «See in browser» buttons side by side. It looks better and more «polished» and takes less place.
[Android Apps and Games] fr_ju:
Side by side? I agree it would be better but I'm affraid there won't be enought width on lot of phone to be able to do that...
[Android Apps and Games] Jepediah:
Nice App

[MENTION=5268627]HoloAddict[/MENTION] thanks for this App. I´m using youre feed reader now for a week and it´s really nice. Only thing missing for me atm is to switch filter from exclusion to inclusion because there are some feeds where I would prefer to get only news for filtered terms. ;) :good: :good: :good:

Is tweaked odexed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
Tweaked is not odexed by default. You can find out if the ROM you are running is odexed or not by going to /system/framework with a file explorer. If you see a bunch of files in there with ".odex" tags on the tail end of them, then it is odexed.

If they are not there, then it is not odexed.

Can we Odex our roms with XPosed framework mod installed? Or can we only Odex the apps and not system? Thanks a bunch for sharing.

Noellenchris
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
you can odex any framework with this...

Not sure what you mean by the second part of your question, though. This is odexing your framework... which is found in /system ...?

For some reason it is thinking you are trying to execute a folder? And not a file?

Not cutting or flaming you in any way, but this is a user error. You typed the command properly, and everything looks like it SHOULD have executed. Go back to the step where you are moving the odex folder to the /data/local/tmp directory, make sure you did everything correctly, and retry.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ezsoulja:
i made sure of it, i extracted the folder to the tmp folder and changed the odex folder 1 and 2 to 777 and all the files inside the 2nd odex folder and had both the root of the system and folder unlocked with the red icon. im not sure what could else be missing. im on tweaked 2.4.1 btw
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
Why do you have two odex folders?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] noellenchris:
With XPosed installed it can modify the framework, I'm afraid if I odex the framework, the xposed add on will crash my system. There is also an application on XDA called "Odex Me" which only Odex's the Applications and not the framework, that's what I was talking about in my second part of the question. I suppose I can do a backup and give it a go and see what xposed does.

Also Xposed also does other system mods other than framework. So it may only disable the framework modding portions after I odex the framewok.

Noellenchris
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ezsoulja:
For some reason when I extracted it, that's the way it came.. So it's basically just like the line says /data/local/tmp/odex/odex

EDIT: just removed one of the odex folders from within the odex folder and transfered the files to the first folder and everything worked from that point on..
