Hey so I'm running ef02, been pretty sweet so far. I have one anoyance though.
When your typing and you go to use the one touch selector thingy (see the little blue arrows http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.3-highlights.html) it beeps all the time when I used it.
Example, click on the middle of a word and the selector auto moves the selector line to the end of the word and.... beep.
How do you shut off that beep?

Yeah I have that off. I figured out I have to turn off "audible touch tones" (which is supposed to be just for the dial pad) to get it to stop beeping. Sad, I want my dialpad sounds.

i dont know if this might help but try using another keyboard.
Yup another keyboard might work, that selection should be for dialpad only.

Hi guys
I cant remember if I had this done before but isnt it possible to turn the vibration off when the keys are pressed in the dialer? I do have the KB Mod but all options for the keyboard feedback are switched off, but it still does it
any ideas
Press and hold Menu until the keyboard comes up, tap the settings icon.Now select Text Input and uncheck the Vibrate when typing option.

Ah yes you are correct, it only turns off vibration for the Keypad and not the dialer, i shall keep looking
EDIT: Yep, that kinda sucks... even by turning off the Haptic feedback and Vibrate on keypress only affects when you use literally the keyboard like typing messages even if the description of the Haptic feedback feature says that it is also applicable to certain UI interactions. It would have been good if the dialer were included in the interactions. But the truth is the dialer seems like an another story, which I think it is a bit weird.
Once full root access is available, hopefully we can install an app like Wysie's Contacts app (available on Nexus) which allows you to disable the feedback function on the dialer.

Aye, it's a little annoying though and I too would like to find a way to have it's function disabled
As mentioned above, I think once full root access is available hopefully, and if it is made available for the Desire, we can install an app like Wysie's Contacts app (available on Nexus) which allows you to disable the feedback function on the dialer.
If the phone is ringing and you want to ignore the call, simply turn it over and lay it face down. The ringer will go to silent and the caller will be sent to voicemail at the end of the rings.
Anyone else have any other little tricks?
Edit: This is different from the "quiet phone on pickup" feature/preference. This will 100% silence your phone and works wether that preference is set or not.

I like the fact that the screen turns off when it's up to your face.
You can get an app like LED desire light to use the led flash as a VERY bright flashlight

What would be nice is to have it go to speaker phone like my TP2 did when face down.

I'm torn on this, it's a cool feature... but sometimes I feel I pull it away from my face and instinctively go to turn it on when I notice the screen is off, then as I am pressing the power it turns on and then back off!
Thankfully I am slowly getting used to it and subconsciously knowing that it'll turn on...
I forgot to say that flipping it over doesn't shut the ringer off on mine.

Wonder if it is a setting somewhere in the phone menu or possibly an app. I am going to guess an app. What happens when you are in a call and flip it over?
Use LED Light with Camcorder and Video with flash.
not really a software trick, but... the fact that fingerprints get cleaned off after keeping the phone in the pocket some some time. Hop in the car, drive around, pull out the cell to do some GPS, screen is CLEAN aka. no glare

Menu >> Settings >> Sound & Display >> Quiet ring on pickup
Check mark it to enable or vice versa.
Does the updated text selection feature count as a 'trick'? I don't remember having it on my 2.1 ROMs for the Hero. Either way, it's infinitely better. (To me).

I already have it enabled. I know that my ringtone goes quiet when I pick it up. I had my GF call me and I flipped the phone over and it didn't go to VM on her side.

Who said anything about flipping the phone over sending the call to voicemail ? It only quiets the ringer, until the call ends up being routed to VM normally

I've only gotten that to come up once for me and I don't know how I did it. It's just like the iPhone though.
Anyone know of an app that will switch the phone to speaker phone if you place it face down? ....found one it is called Flip Speakerphone
Thanks! Flip Speakerphone is awesome!
Mine in decreasing order of annoyance:
Decreased 3G/4G/WiFi reception comparing to previous phone (EVO 4G).
Touchwiz:
Full charge sound.
Contacts not prioritizing contact pictures from FB/Twitter/Skype over Google.
Dialpad is convoluted (too many steps to make a call) and fugly.
Lockscreen. Ewww.
Bottom touch buttons backlight shuts off 2-3 seconds after screen is touched (should be longer).
Power button on side of phone.
You know you can change the background on your lockscreen in settings. Still not the best lockscreen available but there are plenty of options in the market. you can change the duration of the backlight for the bottom buttons in display settings under "touch key light duration".

Can't help you with most. But in settings/ display you can adjust the display timing for what Samsung refers to as Touch Keys.

Also, the location of the power button will be updated in new roms...
"1. Decreased 3G/4G/WiFi reception comparing to previous phone (EVO 4G)."
Can this be fixed with updates? I really hope so, that is my only issue with the phone currently.
Mine in decreasing order of annoyance:
Decreased 3G/4G/WiFi reception comparing to previous phone (MoPho).
LED is blue or red, thats it (tried diferent options incl. apk's... all to no avail).
No landscape mode for TW
Speaker full volume / clarity at said full volume is good, but speaker does strain infrequently and is not as loud as MoPho's (barely but still noticeable)
Wow, thanks for the bottom key tweak. Overlooked that one.
My complaint about the lockscreen is the plainess and lack of features it possesses. Sense simply blows TW away at the moment.
Yeah, Sense is plenty better, but TW isn't that bad, other than the lock screen.....and the way they have it set up to select your widgets.....but it's okay.
DITTO tho on the data, that's a biggie. I'm returning mine because of this. I need data, I use it more than the phone, lol
1. The vibration when I received a text was insanely too long, but I can't figure out how to adjust the pattern.
2. 4G keeps going to sleep while I'm streaming music with the display off, and I have to wake the phone to get the music to start streaming again.
Nothing else is really bothering me right now. Except I'd like a better lock screen.

Lack of airplane mode in the shade pull-down. My office has zero reception, so need to rely on Google voice during office hours.
Will probably use anycut to put an airplane-mode shortcut on the homescreen.
Biggest ones for me right now concern the dialer:
- No instant-call button on the dialer's Favorites or Contacts tabs - you have to tap the name, then call on the second screen. On stock Android it has a phone icon right there at the right side of each name's field. No clue why they'd go and remove that, it's extremely useful.
- No way to turn off the huge photos next to people's names - I always turned those off on stock to make it just a list of names with the phone icon on the right - it showed a lot more names per screen that way. Again, no idea why a feature like that gets removed.

If you swipe your finger right to left over their name it calls them. If you swipe left to right it brings you into messaging. I actually like it more than the stock call buttons. Keeps the contacts menu more clean imo.
First. I am rooted so there is a possibility it is the rooted Kernel that is doing this... but maybe not as it is radio related.
Twice today lost signal on the golf course (and in addition to phone signal lost data so my GPS Golf App wasn't usable when I needed it for distance to the green)... but couldn't get the phone to trigger signal back on even if I put the phone in Airplane Mode (both times) and back out. Also tried turning roaming off and on.
Both times I HAD to turn the phone completely off and then back on. When it came back on I had 4 bars (but had previously been unable to connect).
Not good...
When I was playing with the phone @ the sprint store I noticed that airplane mode option pop up if i hit the power switch while in phone mode.

No biggie, as I'm sure all that try will find out, but he means your "other left" and "other right" (as my father used to say as I was growing up), i.e. the swipe directions described are actually the opposite directions.
Cheers!

AWESOME, thanks. Don't know how I forgot that!
When I'm texting with Swype, the language switches to Espanol all the time because the language button is right next to the comma button.
It's really annoying, any way to turn it off?
I can't for the life of me figure out how to keep the screen from turning off while the phone is plugged in. Its usually under settings>applications> development> keep screen on while charging..

I have a Galaxy Nexus with android 4.1.1. but every time i make a call i cant find a dial pad option. its there when before i make the call but during a call i cant seem to find it. so i cant use phone cards, enter my voice mail password, enter extensions, etc... if anyone out there knows where to find it please let me know.
Bottom of the call screen. Little icon that looks like a dial pad shows/hides it. Hidden by default presumably to cut down on accidental inputs by your face.

I actually really dig the stock keyboard since it has a row of numbers (my thumb keyboard doesn't have that!), but one thing that drives me absolutely nuts is how while I am typing away I some how knock something to go into "one-handed mode." It totally throws me off. I then go to settings and manually uncheck it, but is there a way to stop it forever? lol.
Bro, tell me about it. This absolutely drives me nuts. I find that it happens when I hold the UP arrow.
Let me know if you find a fix.
Same here...wtf...I dont understand and can never reproduce the issue
Theres to places in settings that I could find that may be causing this for you.
Settings -> One handed operation
Settings -> Language and input -> Samsung Keyboard settings
I have it off in both places and its never switched once for me.
I randomly had the same issue and couldn't figure out how I did it or how to undo it. Finally, I went to settings》one handed operation, and unchecked everything. PROBLEM SOLVED LOL!!!

Both my settings have been set appropriately since day 1 (I dont like one-handed operation). Apparently, on the note 10.1, you can pinch the keyboard to change modes. Is this just a glitch in our phones because sometimes it does toggle the tiny keyboard on my note 2.
very random, super annoying...pleaseee samsung fix this issue, give us multi-touch, and pleasee autocorrect my damn messages already. those are my only 3 grievances. oh, and the slight delay with the home and/or power button when turning phone on and/or returning to home screen. am I asking for too much??
edit: fixed home button delay by disabling s-voice via double click... noticeably faster and well worth disabling
While it's not a real solution, the best option IMO is to switch keyboards entirely lol. I prefer the Gingerbread Keyboard and have been using it since my Epic 4G.

I'd be fine with switching the keyboard if I could get a number row like the stock one. I own both Thumb Keyboard and Swift keyboard and I don't see the option for either
Im so glad im not the only one this happens too I hate it but I love the keyboard with the full number row

I have unchecked everything like you mentioned. The kb still changes to one hand operation while typing.
I think to reproduce, you have to press t and v at the same time. To change it back to normal layout, press L and A simultaneously.
It does not work all the time tho.

It has to do with the pinch shortcut to goto one handed mode.... you can do the reverse pinch to go back to two handed mode... but its hardbto do..
I guess its when two fingers hit at once and it thinks you are pinching...I hate it but can not find a.way to disable it..
Yes. Let me DITTO this. All settings turned off but it's the "pinch" gesture or whatever. SUPER ANNOYING.
Please, I need to be able to stop this completely.

I was suffering from the same issue and after reading all these posts I found that a simple pinch to zoom action on the keyboard area will quickly fix it but permanently disabling I don't know
works by pinch zooming
I can change back and forth between keyboards by pinch zooming in and out. Galaxy Note II on AT&T
Im pretty tired as well of this... you type away super fast, come too close, and BOOM the f***er shrinks... pisses me off. Try to un-pinch it 8x before it goes "oh, hey go big again..." If there were only a keyboard out there that looked stock but had the top row of numbers to switch to... I hate this feature and need it GONE!!
One Handed Keyboard
I was having a problem getting the one handed keyboard turned off. I just figured it out. Open up a text & bring up the keyboard now click on the setting icon that is next to the spacebar. Unclick the One-Handed Operation & it is done!:good:
