I've had that problem with Odin. Try going to stock recovery and wiping cache, you may have to do a factory reset. You may have to install busy box and SuperSU, then try to install safestrap.

So my power button seems to be pretty much dead.

To start my phone I just hit the softreset button with the stylus and it comes on, and to wak up my screen I have to pop out the MiniSD card.

My question, is there a way to map to a softkey a way to wake up the device without having to pop out my card. That can't be good for the card of the mechanism to do that 20 times a day, and I shot my card across the floor in the mall the other day, and I KNOW that can't be good for it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] papabear:
If I am not mistaken, there is a setting to have any button activate the phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hotdog53:
Try this utility and go to start/settings/buttons...Since the messaging option is already in the start menu, you can replace the messaging hardware button(top left) the button for the utility I'm providing. In your case, I'd install to the device. Let me know if it worked for you.

With the news that Google was considering Double Twist to launch the camera and abandoned it, I for one was very disappointed. My wife is moving from a moto x to a 5X and will really miss that feature. It is soooo much easier to do than double tap and works while you have the screen on unlike the double tap.

So what does everyone else think? Am I alone or are you also upset Google went with the double tap option?
[Nexus 6P General] Poke_N_PDA:
The thread initially got moved and then moved back so I'm one time bumping it to get a true initial look for people.
[Nexus 6P General] Tung_meister:
I'd like to give it a go, I don't see the harm in including it as an option, if people don't want to use it they wouldn't have to.

Double tap of the power button works with the screen on too. But I'd like to try the twist

I was not sure about the double tap on the power button to get to camera. I do like it now. Its quick and I am able to catch shots I would have not got on my old phone with it. I am interested in the double shake as an alternative.

Old phone was an LG g2 and it had the typical swipe to camera deal but it was kinda of slow b/c you had to look at your phone to get it going.
[Nexus 6P General] Mi|enko:
And it's far more reliable than the method on the Moto X. With my X, sometimes it wouldn't register to launch the camera.
[Nexus 6P General] Powell730:
What's this do to the battery?
[Nexus 6P General] PaisanNYC:
never bothered to notice because i charge my phone every night. but its almost none in my experience.
[Nexus 6P General] stuff:
You can double-press the power button to launch the camera, regardless if the screen is on, off, locked, unlocked, etc.

So, it's simply a matter of preference. Both launch it likely as fast.

back up. now that the tap to wake function has been found, i wonder if enabling a hidden setting to bring back twist to camera is in there somewhere.

[LG G Watch R] mc_tdm00:
Hi guys,

Like the title says..

My Lg Watch R randomly shuts down and i cant use it right now, when i am turning it on, it mostly shuts down somewhere in the end of "Starting Apps 10 from 48" for example.

And sometimes after 10-20x times turning it on again it will stay for 10-20 minutes awake and turns off without warning.

I already tried leedroid and custom recovery but nothing helps, however when i am in the fastbootmode/ recovery it can stay on for hours.

So i got the feeling something in android checks battery or the temperature and it turns off for safety reasons.

Idea anyone?

Sorry for my english :P
[LG G Watch R] i31us:
I have the same issue. No idea why it happens. I had to factory reset the watch. Disconnect the watch and phone and clear data from android wear. It is annoying

Also, if I am not near the phone...the watch shuts down as well.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeonson:
I've searched all over the interwebs for an answer to the title question without finding an answer. Is it possible to disable Chrome's incognito mode on a rooted g3 running Lollipop? I have seen the idea of creating a Chrome Customization app, but I don't really have the skills or understanding to pull that off unless it was already built. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] SGAlpha:
Hello everyone,

As the title suggests I wanna make a little modification on my Samsung Galaxy Alpha. Since I got a new spare rear battery cover around I decided to take the already stock and used one and repaint it. So, I masked the rear of the cover and removed the rear "SAMSUNG" badge carefully letter by letter.

The problem is I'm not sure how to do it and what paint to use so not to lose the "stock texture" completely. How to remove the current paint? What kind of preparation should I do and what paint I should use?

The current stock color of the cover is black but I will probably paint it bright yellow and the "SAMSUNG" badge black (gloss or matte). The cover has a weird rubberized feel and I've no idea what to do to make it look cool with the new paint and not to destroy the texture. I already got a yellow enamel paint but no idea if it will work and how many coats it will take to change from black to yellow.

HELP! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] :
Why would you even do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] SGAlpha:
Well probably I'd never make use of the spare cover I have, so I decided to turn it into something interesting. It's a little mod for making it "unique" without taking any risk. (it's just a cover) But anyway, I need some help here.

I found some acrylic enamels that seem suitable. Probably because the surface is matte style I will have to use matte yellow instead of gloss. The thing is how to break a little bit the old paint since sandpaper would obviously damage the texture. Maybe alcohol or aceton?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] :
100% Alcohol.

Or you can try a hairblower, the thing to dry hair.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] qunnin:
Think this question can be better answer in other forum, I trying my best to answer:

A) Try your paint on the back of the cover given they are of same material

B) I am not sure what masking paper you use but I will rather use those for scale models which works best to avoid paint bleed.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gman4mf:
N00b :p recently obtained a S3, rooted it with Kingo root & need some advice. on how to proceed next...

First of all i would like to point out that i have read several threads here in Q&A and in DEV and i must say the amount of ROMS and possibilities are quite overwhelming. That's why i am posting this Q...

Second: i don't want to switch ROM's all the time, i just want to install one good working, stable & fast ROM without the hassle of adding extra's, removing bloatware, try different kernels/bugfixes etc... It just needs to work.

Also i like to have: a dark layout for the Phone (saves energy and looks much better to me)

As little bloatware as possible , i just want it to be working fast & stable/flawless (i will install the stuff i really need myself via google playstore if possible)

Some Questions

- On my HTC Sensation XE i have 4EXT (with Viper 521 ROM), would this recovery work for the S3 or should i use someting else and why ?

- Which superuser/SU/else should work best with the S3 ?

- Should i use a 5.1.1 or 4.4.4-based ROM ? I have seen various threads and video-comparisons but none of them could convince me (besides the fact that lollipop is too bright & child-looking for my taste)

- Is there a stable & fully operational version of stock Android 4.4.4 or 5.1.1 for the S3 ? And if not which ROM comes closest ?

I would gratfeully receive any advice which ROM i should pick based on your personal experience(s)

Thnx in advance ! :cool:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cokesucker:
Slimkat 4.4.4 is recommended. Light, fast, no bloat and it has the dark mode you are looking for

Lollipop is no good for the s3 but if you are feeling adventourous you can try out either slimLP or dokdo project.

I am new to rooting mainly because I never wanted to void the warranty on my device. Ever since the latest update that trashed my phone with bloatware and slowed it down, I decided to take the plunge. While digging around and trying everything I could I discovered that the update that trashed my phone is the update that wont allow me to root it!!! Has anyone figured out a way to get around Verizon's lock and do you think it will be possible?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esnar:
Since some time my volume buttons aren't working as they should. When I press the volume up button it goes up a bit but then straight down again, as if its pressing both up and down at the same time.

Most of the time it does this, sometimes it works properly but almost never. Same goes for the volume down button.

I was thinking it was probably my volume/power connector, so I ordered a brand new, original lg g2 d802 connector and I just now replaced it, but I'm still having the same problem! I've also installed several new roms/kernels since this problem has been happening so I don't think its software related.

This is very annoying when I have a bootloop and I have to enter recovery, because it basically wont recognize I'm pressing volume down.

Anyone have any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?

It's sort of a love/hate relationship with my G4. While I love the camera and form factor of the phone, I hate the battery life, overheating, and severe lack of development. I'm really hoping Marshmallow will fix some of the issues.

If they could improve the battery life, heating issues, and random performance lag, this would be damn near a perfect phone, even un-rooted. I had the G3 and HATED it. I like the G4 significantly better. I'm curious to see what they do with the G5 next year.

I'm about to root my phone (I always do that, this is the first phone that I have for more than 2 weeks unrooted!!), but I do like it a lot (mainly camera).

It's really nice one (came from Galaxy S4).

What bothers me now:

1) When I use ProShot, it's draining the battery a LOT, as well as overheating (I'll check it with the DEV)

2) I do like using Google Now. However, with G4, it keeps activating GPS a LOT, more than usual!! Then, Android System shows as biggest battery drainer.

Overall, very happy.
