I loved my epic for the first 4 months! But now i have tons of issues popping up...I need some guidance. Below are my issues im dealing with.
-Space bar on Keyboard, When I hit space bar instead of a "space" it types out "5tgv"....touch screen keyboard still works.
-Camera button, when i hit the camera button, it brings me too a google search, if i hit it again it types "6yhb" in the search field.
-Apps using mediaplayer do not work, i get "Mediaplayer is now in error state" then i get "mediaplayer is now in completed state" back and forth.
I'm currently on stock Froyo.eco5.....should i call it a day and get a new phone?
I would take it to sprint and have them look at it. Do u have the insurance for it?

Is there a way besides sliding the notification bar and clicking on the phone call item to go to the phone call status ? from a shortcut or a widget ?
I'd rather just press home and have it on the screen to return to it.
Would love that too. What makes it worse is when i go to swipe the notification bar, I invariably trigger the proximity sensor which turns off the screen.

or just hit the phone button at the bottom.
Your only other option is to open the dialer/phone app. Meaning, the stock/Sense one, not DialerOne or your replacement dialer.
I can root, install Roms, and all the other geeky ****..
Yet the most basic thing... Making a phone call.... I still cannot figure out..
Flashing over to another call
Three way calling (still cannot figure this out right)
getting back to the phone while in a current call.
Is there a hold button?
LOL

Exactly.
I'm running CM6 and the stock dialer you have to press something extra to get to the actual call.
Even before flashing a new ROM I was getting this lag. When you're in a message with the keyboard showing then press home, the messaging app clears but the keyboard stays up for literally like a full second then disappears. Yet, if you are within a message and go back out of the message (press upper left) it has no issue disappearing as it should.
Any way to fix this, it's really annoying.
Had the same thing. No matter which rom

Yep same here...
Its about half a second lag if you actually time it. But it never bothered me at all, i'm surprised it bothers so many people. This issue was posted before too.
I dont think its a lag but more just a transition type effect issue.
It is because the keyboard is its own application. The way android runs is it shuts down the messaging app first then the keyboard second thus the lag. Manually close keyboard before exiting if it bugs you. It bugged me a lot coming from my iPhone where the keyboard is a UI element and closes at the same time. I've just learned to close my keyboard then go home.
I've had it with every Android phone I can remember having. It's not remotely an issue for me.

This. I now always press back, then home or my OCD kicks in.

Yeah, I'm having to do that too. Pretty bootsy if you ask me. Doesn't make sense why the OS can't close both applications at the same time though. Actually pressing back in the upper left closes the message and the keyboard at the same time.

When you hit back in the app it doesn't have to close the messaging app itself and just closes the keyboard app
Also, the way Android is written, is when you hit home it has to draw the launcher which is why it doesn't simultaneously close the two apps. Downside of the way android is programmed.
Is there anyway that the notification bar can be pulled down while on a phone call? I know I'm able to do it on my evo lte, but can not do it on my nexus in case I get a message or email and want to look at it without having to press the home key then going into the app.
I noticed that vanilla android phones are the only ones I cannot do this on. Thanks.

Press home and then you should have access to rest of your phone. As much as i hate atnt, multitasking with voice and data is still crazy awesome to me.
butter and jelly please...
Try AOKP ROM, there is an option to enable notification bar while in calls.
If anyone can help, I can't believe I can't figure this out.
On my old HTC Evo, when replying to a text message, you can
press the microphone button and speak to text then send it.
On my new GSIII, the keyboard has a setting option to see the
microphone speak icon on the keyboard. I have it checked and
I can NOT see the microphone icon or input button using voice?
Is this a rom problem that needs update, or am I missing something
here? How do I get the mic button to show on texting to use voice?
Thanks, and I am rooted but stock rom/kernel. Rom manager also
does not work for me, says I need to install clockwork recovery,
but when I rooted it, it did. Also Rom manager doesn't have GSIII
in its list yet.
Belongs in Q&A.

I have the mic icon on my keyboard and it works... long press the "gear" button and then select the mic one.
Wrong thread lol

Sorry about the wrong forum.
But thanks a million, I was just pressing the gear.
I've had android for a year and never knew you
can LONG press the gear and get more options,
the mic shows up now!
No problem. Usually buttons that have, the 3 little dots on them, have different settings or do different actions.
I know this is an old thread, but I seem to be having the same issue...
EXCEPT, when I long press the gear I do not have the microphone as an option. the voice input option is checked in settings, any suggestions?
I'm on FreeGS3 v0.2.0 if that makes any difference

I had the same problem with voice-to-text with the stock keyboard and the stock Swype... The icon was there, but it would error out. I installed the latest Swype Beta and its working again.
I'm running FreeGS, too.
Im nit rooted, yet. Just got the phone last night and love it. Somehow I got a dock on the side of the screen. Its a little blue tab and if I pull it out it shows recient apps. And it shows up over the top of everything. Games, apps, videos, everything. It wasnt there at first, but I dont know what I did to start it and now cant make it go away. Anyone know how to turn the damn thing off?

It's the multi-view window. It lets you open multiple apps at the same time. Try dragging a couple of those apps into an open app. To make it go away all you have to do is long hold the back button or de-select the multi-view option in the quick toggles in the notification bar.
This community is the best. Long hold on the back button did it. I just upgraded from an Evo. Hopefully this community gets as strong as that one was.

Multi-view is a really cool feature. Play with it and you'll soon wonder how you lived without it.
Texting and Web View are great and the third window as a PopUp - EVEN BETTER ! lol
