haha - apologies again for getting your hopes high!

A cool trick I stumbled upon.

While browsing in internet and different forums for our phones I stumbled across this video.
I looked through threads here and didn't find it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ_du-rW1Ns&feature=related
I found it cool and useful so I decided to share it with you guys.
I didn't know where to post it so I put it in general section.
If I posted this in wrong section mod please move it to where this belongs.
Holy crap, I wish I had known about this a few months ago. Great find!
Lol awesome. Thank you

This has been used since OG Galaxy S I used it all the time on my vibrant... I will give thanks for the users who didn't know about this though
Found out about that when I had my captivate...def a cool little hidden setting shortcut!
Sent from this phone
I didn't know this either. Thanks for the find. Any other tips? I remember back when I had my BB Curve I spent hours trying to learn all the shortcuts like cut and paste, bottom of page, top of page, reset. I bet there are more we don't even know.

I did search in forum and didn't find it. May be I used wrong key words for search.
At least few of us didn't know about it till now. Some good came out of this post.
Another tip. When you are in your log you can hold and slide to the right to call someone and to the left to text them. This saves a couple clicks and is pretty cool. I believe you can also call from the texting app by sliding to tthe right too.

This and the slide to call or text from log or messaging are the 2 biggest things I wish were in CM7 and CM9. I use both features all day, every day. Gotta give Sammy some credit there.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I liked this feature so much when I had an Epic 4G that I wrote code for Cyanogenmod 7 to implement it there.
To all those that complained about Op posting his find, please try to remember when you were a nooB. It's not like this feature is posted on a Wiki or anything for everyone to browse.
-Daryel
Old Epic had it too.
Thanx for this tip though,because its little different than it was on old epic.I tried it on my new epic touch and it didnt work,i thought why would samsung take away such useful feature?But they didnt-they just made it different.
On old epic you could just slide your finger across top bar.But on epic touch you have to hold your finger on top bar for about a second before sliding.Its a little harder than it was before but prevents acidental setting.

Any chance that could be updated for the E4GT? If so I wouldn't think twice about making a permanent change to CM.

[GUIDE] The thanks buttons use and what happends if you don't use it!

Hello all xda:ers!
Surely have all of you have gotten a thanks, but have you given one?
The thanks button is more than a button its a help and a way to show your gratitude and support.
So what do you do with it?
If somebody has helped you and solved your problem, press the thanks button.
If somebody has posted some material you like or download press the thanks button.
If somebody has wrote a comment or thread you agreed on, press the thanks button.
And so on...
Let's give you a example of what happens if you don't press the thanks button:
A guy who is new in development have decided to do an app for himself to use because he feels like it's missing something on his phone. He makes the app, and feels that oh yeah this is a really good app, I should give it to the community so they also can use it!
He makes a thread here on XDA about the app and so on and adds the Apk to the thread in an attachment...
Really many here at xda thinks oh what a great app, I couldn't live without it any more!
So after a few days he sees that the thread has had 10k views so he checks out the thread to se what people have said and so on. He looks at his post and sees that he only have gotten 10 thanks!
So he thinks then, well people didn't like my app why should I continue to develop on it? He takes the thread and closes it and takes away the attachments, he makes a code that sends a message to all the downloaded apps that the app testing is now finished and closed so you can't use it anymore and there is no further development since nobody likes this app...
So all of those who downloaded the app can now not use the application that were so great and the guy who made it is gone out of the community!
SO IF YOU LIKE SOMETHING PRESS THAT THANKS SO THE DEVELOPERS CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THEIR WORK IS APPRECIATED AND CONTINUES ON THEIR WORK! AND SO THE USERS WHO HELP YOU HERE ON XDA FEELS THAT ITS GOOD TO HELP PEOPLE INSTEAD OF JUST THROWING SH*T IN THE THREADS!
Thanks that's all I wanted to say!

Why are people always begging for thanks?
Because they can and they think it really matters for something besides the size of their e-..... when all it really is a potentially wildly inaccurate measure of someone's ability to answer a question correctly.

Hahahaha, true. Same thing with post counts. The thing I do love seeing is idiots with bullsh_t spam in their signatures pleading for other users: "if I helped you press thanks OMG OMG OMFGZZZ! thanks thanks thanks" and they contribute absolutely nothing to this forum.
Edit, OP I notice you changed your signature... kudos to you.

Id be happy to start doing some work here. I did a ton of stuff for the gs2 but that forum is like being in highschool all over again and the gs3 forum isnt much better. I love doing this stuff but when people are disrespectful and just plain mean it kinda takes the fun out of it. I cant believe how nasty and rude people can be when they are getting something for free...lol

[Q] Blank Screen Time Out 4.2

Since I can't post in the thread because I haven't made 10 post yet I will ask in General and Admins if you fell it needs to be elsewhere feel free to move it.
I am using [ROM] [AOSP] MMuzzy's Jelly Bean 4.2 - JOP40C on my Gnex and I am having a problem. I, 3 or 4 times during the day, have to pull my battery because my screen goes to time out and won't come back. I can feel the phones vibrations like when I hold the power to power off but all sounds are null and the screen is blank and I can go nowhere. If anyone else is having this problem I would like to know and if anyone else can fix it same applies. Thank you.
Yes, thank god I'm not the only one. Same exact problem. I wonder if it's an auto brightness issue?
Same here, happened one time.

I was questionable where I should put it because it wasn't going to be a question more of a comment to see if anyone else had the problem. Not having it as bad now since the latest update but it has still happened. I have tried to mess with settings and everything but still same issue. Anyone figure it out?
It happened to me twice today with no way out except pulling battery or rebooting via adb shell. I just turned off auto brightness to see if it helps.

wy dont you try to reflash the rom again and see if it happens again , as if it was not happening on stock , i might be a bug , try to reflash your rom
I have kept the ROM updated and it is still doing it to me every now and then. Not sure if it is just the way it was set up or maybe it is something I am doing. Maybe we should post what we were doing the last time it froze for me I was playing music with play and went to change the song and when I pressed my power button to unlock it wouldn't do it.
It happened to me again today at the worst moment. I was trying to get a pic of my newborn niece and the phone wouldn't come back. Pulled the battery and it did it again.
Again while playing a game on my phone. Screen went blank and wouldn't come back could still hear the game playing.
This is a 4.2 thing. People have been seeing this on the stock Rom also. Don't worry it'll all be figured out soon

Well, sleep of death is when the phone doesn't wake. We're talking about the screen just turning itself off and not coming back on.

I had to re flash the 4.2.1 stock yakju google image to my phone because my bluetooth refused to turn on ever since the 4.2 and then 4.2.1 ota. But I also had this screen problem before and after the re flash. Happens a lot less if I turn off auto brightness which is how I usually had it before with 4.1.2 because auto brightness in jelly bean is generally awful. At best it would randomly change even when there was no change in room light or proximity. Then the other day I was just changing the setting manually from the quick setting and the screen went bright then completely dark. But I followed a suggestion to enable the accessibility service hotkey which helped me power it off without needing a battery pull or adb. I wish google would step up and admit these annoyingly bad 4.2 problems. I never had issues with ICS.
I didn't either. I had no issues with 4.1 but 4.2 and 4.2.1 I have had issues with. Maybe CyanogenMod will be able to fix the problems I always had good luck with it.
Finally! I dont think im alone here!
Sleep of death, thats it! It happens to me everyday.
I'm trying the auto brightness.
