Press and hold Menu yields nothing.

Press and hold Menu yields App List (the one that looks like a deck of mini app stacked on each other)

I installed Wanam Xposed and set double press on the Home button to bring Google Search box. So far work good!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjcoolaus:
I found a different workaround

I've been using Nova Launcher, and i'm also annoyed by s-finder.

My workaround was long press the apps button on the launcher, tap edit, and set the swipe action to the app of "Google" (setting it to search automatically brings up swiftkey keyboard as well, because it's a search, and i didn't want that - using the app Google is much better)

So now instead of long pressing menu, i just swipe up the apps button - and tada - google now.

I'll just ignore menu long press, but just incase my brain has trouble readjusting, i've set that to Search as well (as Search brings up the on screen keyboard and "Google" does not, it will remind my brain "hey you long pressed menu instead of swiping up the apps button)

No need for root (i bricked my phone on the weekend trying to do that, reinstalled the samsung image using Odin). I don't plan on using this awful phone for too much longer anyway.

Plus you can't watch pay TV in Australia if you have rooted your phone. (Yep, seriously. Foxtel Go app only works on about 6 Samsung phones/tablets and does not allow rooted devices. Even though everything on it is available via bittorrent, there is a unmetered data benefit on my mobile broadband plan)

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but I didn't feel like reading through 9 pages of posts.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minificus:
I was even more frustrated, because I used to long press 'menu' button for in-app search OR as Google <Now> app shortcut on the home screen of Touchwiz.

So how to replace the S-Finder with Google search, how to return the Note 2 behavior (Google Now search + In-App Search when applicable):

1) Root the device

2) Install latest Xposed framework from the official website. Sorry, I am not allowed to post links on this forum yet.

3) Launch Xposed framework, activate it and press reboot button in the app.

4) Launch Xposed framework, go to Repository, find the GravityBox module and install it.

5) Return to Xposed framework, go to Modules, check the new installed GravityBox module.

6) Launch GravityBox app, go to Navigation buttons, select 'Long-press Menu button' and change the behavior to 'In-app search'. Go back.

That's it. Now you have that in-app search AND you have Google Now (or other preferred search app) on the home screen!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halx:
Tasker is the King! On %WIN = S Finder call "Close System Dialogs" and whatever your launcher or third party app had assigned to the menu button long tap - will became visible. No root required.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhentNRG:
I found a quick solution today, thought I would share it.

Go to the app store and download the app "S Package Disabler" (Free Version)

After installing the app, find "S Finder" on the list of apps and disable it, uninstalling will not work.

Hope this helps, Best Regards.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyrilvelasco:
Hello,

I tried updating my phone. It downloaded, I hit install, began restarting then just stayed on the "Quietly Brilliant" screen.

I have tried the regular restart (power+down), reboot bootloader, recovery, factory reset. NOTHING WORKED!!

I have left the phone before trying all those resets for about 10mins, and about 5 mins after booting it the other ways.

It is stock HTC Sense.

Also it does appear on computer.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

backup efs before you flash something!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikkuh007:
Yes sure I will do! I Always do that, but thanks for saying it ;)

I have one more question. Her phone is now stock. First I do a new CWM with odin and then the rom, or must I also first root the phone?

I though this this order:

First cwm: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1719744 (is in this CWM a possibility to backup EFS?)

Then the rom of choice, I choose Omega (but if anyone else knows a better one...)

And her Phone is readyy!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
first root the phone using CF-root. then flash philz recovery (philz only because it only has the capacity to backup efs). then flash your custom rom.

:good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikkuh007:
Thanks I will try it. First I root the phone, then philz recovery and then a new rom! Thanks in advance!

Omega rom is a good one, or can you recommend me another one?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
don't forget to do a nandroid & efs (as said earlier) of your stock rom & efs. always good to keep both in a seperate storage (e.g. your computer) for backup/restore purposes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
can not recommend one. every rom is very good in it's features. omega is one of the most popular roms. you may flash it. be sure you make a backup as stated above and mainly efs. good luck

:good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikkuh007:
I never make a nandroid backup. When the rom didn't works good, i flash an original one. That's also good?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
that is good. but making a nandroid backup is good for yourself.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikkuh007:
You mean for all apps and accounts? Yes that's true. But then my choose is start from the beginning, clean :)

Thanks for all your help and when she is here I will try it :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
a nandroid from your very first stock rom (the rom that came with your phone out of the box) is recommended if you want to restore to stock easily without extra downloads etc., hence the recommendation, but of course up to you. good luck
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikkuh007:
Offcourse you are right. I will think about it, but I don't think I gonna do it. I gonna try the 4.1.2 rom of Omega on her phone.

When it is succeeded, i'll let you know!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
Anyone here suffer the occasional keyboard lag? How about pressing a single letter will cause you to type that letter multiple times?

How about when you're flipping through your home pages or app draw you get that transition lag?

I'm getting lag way too often with my phone I'm considering it taking it back and trying out another one see if it act the same. So far my experience with this phone has been rather disappointing considering the lag.

There's even a thread here about the Play Store lag when you choose an app then it takes a few seconds for the app to pop up. I'm even getting that lag.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leroybrute:
I have experienced the same issues on my Vzw version. Lots of weird issues popping up the last few days.

The play store is having some issues right now so I haven't compared that yet.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
I have none of these issues and I'm on week 3 with the phone. AT&T.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leroybrute:
I am on my 3rd week also, neener neener. Lol. Are you on CleanRom or stock?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Lol. I'm just on stock rooted and removed bloat myself. No issues. :thumbup:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leroybrute:
I'm on CleanRom for the last 3 or 4 days. Just trying to narrow down these issues. First 2 weeks I didn't see these problems. I think I may go back to stock and see if that clears things up any.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
I just returned my phone and i'm currently on the new one. First thing I noticed different was the RAM consumption was extremely high on the first unit. I only had about 250 MB available with this new phone I'm up to 850 not sure that was the issue but we shall see.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaT Franchise:
I have noticed that once this device hits about 400mb of free ram it starts to lag very bad at 300 its un usable, mine sits at 780 after a reboot and around 550 after about an hour, also if you dont kill the sms after say 30-40 text the keyboard gets very slow, the ram optimization on this phone is absurd and absolutely ****, this is the only thing holding this phone back from being epic
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiguy99:
Have you disabled any bloat?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
No.... But the word "bloat" is used so loosely here on Xda. Exactly what is bloat? Is bloat just an app that actually bogs down your phone or is it just an app that people don't use but the carriers force upon you?

Cause really I don't see how an app that's not running really slow down a phone with this kind of specs.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaT Franchise:
The keyboard problem has nothing do to with "bloat" and more of a problem in the keyboard itself and its odd how the phone was a monster for 2-3 weeks and now is buggy even with a factory reset, about 3 weeks is what im seeing on here when some ppl are seeing problems come up, im on att btw.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiguy99:
I agree. Bloat is more of the second scenario you mentioned above. It shouldn't slow the phone down at all but unfortunately carriers tend to ruin these phones more than help them out with their software doing all kinds of stuff in the background

This is why the note 3 and S4 are suffering from lag issues even though technically they shouldn't be considering what's under the hood spec wise as well
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evilmonstertruck:
Wow. I think something might be wrong. I have 1.2gb free ram. No lag
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leroybrute:
It's not carrier related either. Because my Vzw version is doing the same things the at&t version.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
Here's a bit of an update:

Well I returned the original phone this morning because of all the issues I was having in the original post.

So far so good with the new phone, been playing with it for hours since I got it and everything appears silky smooth there's definitely a night and day difference even while the available RAM still seems kind of low.

I might have actually got a detective phone.... I'm recommending anyone who has any of these issues and are still return within your return policy, to just get another phone while you can.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
This is exactly correct. The S4 and Note 3 lag has absolutely very little to do with bloat. It's because Touchwiz isn't even optimized for Jelly Bean yet. It's trash.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcharng:
I experience little lag. Nothing major, maybe because of Nova launcher that the I use and the SwiftKey keyboard rather than stock.

Lately I have been experiencing weird issues with playstore freezing up. I read somewhere Google is experiencing problem with their service so it is probably not the phone.

-LG G2
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
weird.. had mine since launch day, rooted now, removed all bloat and i never have lag. using swiftkey though so idk about keyboard lag, but that stock keyboard seemed pretty sweet
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkkiJAIN:
LG G2

I have talked to Mobile jury spokes person. He told me that there is no lag in G2 at all.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

Amount of does matter. When open lots of apps firstly the phone lags & it also gets heated.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
Yeah no lag here... I think those experiencing such have defective phones. I would definitely return. I'm very sensitive to lag and absolutely hate it, but this phone is screaming fast compared to my gnex running any custom rom you choose. :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leroybrute:
Since when is a phone defective if it has lag? Fixes will come with updates and or custom roms. We just need to be patient.

I am not a patient person and I am a little disappointed in a few things, but I feel a lot of potential in this phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] NSRpxndxhou:
So yesterday I got a replacement one from Verizon and as soon as I opened it I checked the camera and the camera was fine so I was glad about that. But unfortunately I accidentally updated and my phone suddenly had the issue. Again today I tried to use the camera and the camera was fine so I plugged it in to charge and put a case on it when I picked it up it felt a bit warm and I checked the camera and the issue began to creep up again. So to test it I unplugged my phone let it cool down infront of a fan and it was perfect again. Anyone else try this or am I over thinking this.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BygSii:
Every HTC One has the purple hue issue. Whether people want to admit it or not. The low light setting was set too low. Find a white wall or counter top , in a dark room, take a picture point blank, one inch away, two inches away, three inches away, they all have a purple hue. It's not until you back it up a ways so that light passes through that you see the purple hue disappear.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] NSRpxndxhou:
The first picture was when the phone was nice and cool. Second I took after watching a couple of YouTube videos while on the charger while the phone got warm on the same spot. I just think it's weird how that works. Is it possible that the sensors are being messed with by heat?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] NSRpxndxhou:
Sorry forgot to upload the second one. Haha
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
Think it's to do with iso.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BygSii:
From the looks of the shadows and the lighting, the first picture, the whites on your bed are bright, the aluminum from your phone tells me you either have a light on or sun passing through a window. if you take a picture in a dark area, like the second picture where the whites in the bed are dark and the reflection from the aluminum on the phone indicate that a light is turned off or the sun has settled down, and your going to see the purple hue.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
I think it's a software bug Verizon will fix. (they can't replace all our phones with new ones, or we'd get the shaft and get refurbed unit casuing an uproar)

anyway we will find small thing that help fix it but all phones eract differently and this camera software is prime example.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 123421342:
I do not have a purple hue on black or white. I had a little bit of purple tint when I took a picture of fire, but the camera was so good it captured the fire and the surrounding area as well.

Also, If you could answer a few questions about your phone (you'll find the info on the last few pages of the thread) that would be great. We are trying to find some kind of pattern to this issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
I have the purple hue issue as well. I think there may be something to the whole "caused by heat" argument. If I power off my One and leave it sitting for say 10 mins and do a cold boot there's no purple/red/blue hue. Once I use the phone for 10 minutes or so it pops back in. I actually had it remedied for over a week and a half after doing a factory reset and cache wipe. Then all of a sudden it came back. THAT makes it seem like a software issue. So idk. Seems both are viable arguments based on my personal experience. I hope it's software bc it's annoying as all hell.

I wanted to add that changing the ISO to 100 that some people have had success with doesn't do anything for me except change it from solid purple to a light purple haze. A little better but still very noticeable. HTC addressed the issue and said it was going to be fixed with the 4.3 update so I'm curious if the Sprint users actually have seen the issue resolved or not.

UPDATE: I added a thread on the Sprint HTC board asking if the issue has been resolved or not. So we'll see what they say
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TidusWulf:

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gizmoe:
My wife and I both got the HTC one on the same day. Mine has the purple hue in low light and hers does not. To test this I would open the camera and lay it down on my couch so the camera gets nothing but black. Mine will slowly turn almost completely purple and my wifes will remain completely black. She also does not have the tint in low light conditions. I also think heat may play a role. One of the first things I did when I got my phone was run multiple 3dmark tests to see how hot it gets and also test the performance of the graphics chip. I had taken pictures before this and noticed no hue until after my phone heated up really hot. Since then it has had the issue. I think the OP is on to something as I was thinking the heat damaged the camera myself. I also think HTC probably knows this and just wants us to think its a software thing that can be fixed. Even if you adjust the low light settings the hue can still be seen, just not as bad. I bet the update to fix this will probably be something that disables that portion of the hardware so we all just think its been fixed.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
It not heat and was you and your wife's settings the exact same? I can get rid of the haze if I lower the iso setting and if I use HDR or night it goes away.
