Does anyone know of an easy way to get "Data network mode" option when pressing and holding the power button like I have on my Epic 4G. My wife is a flight attendant and needs that option on her phone when going international. Thanks!

Or use the toggle mod

If you're talking about a way to just toggle 3g on/off then the Data Switch will work for her.

So I rooted my phone and everything was smooth until i followed this theme guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318850
After I followed all the instructions and did that My powerbutton started acting funky. When I hold it down it doesn;t have the popup menu so i can choose to restart phone or turn off phone etc.
Is there anyway to fix this?
haha your lucky I did the same thing what's worse is now your lock screen doesnt work either.
This happens from using the secret codes you selected the wrong option. I can't remember the code for the power thing, but you can remedy by downloading "hidden features free sammy edt" and once in the app, click "power button" in the menu, and you should see the option in the screenshot, uncheck the box and you will have your power menu back! (As well as your lock screen)
Please don't forget to hit thanks if I have helped you!

Thank you very much for the response I'll give that a shot!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I can't say it with enough enthusiasm. I looked everywhere and everyone said i had to do a factory reset. I think the reason why i had the problems as the OP was because i ran the LCD Test with the code *#0*#. I finally have my pin back. Thank you again ApexZeph!

If any of you facing a problem where YOUR LOCK SCREEN DISAPPEARS AND YOU'RE FORCED TO RESTART AND YOU'VE GIVEN UP ALL HOPE??
Fair no more citizen, for I have the solution you have been looking for.
Change your lock screen timeout to a low value so your screen doesn't waste battery on standby, and at the same time, increase the "lock after screen timeout" variable so your phone doesn't lock as soon as your screen dims.
Ik its not ideal, but this way, as long as you're not around thieving individuals, all day, you can pick up up your phone anytime without worrying about it having to restart cheers!!
I've had the phone for two days now and this has happened 3 times now.
The worst one was I got a phone call but the keyboard was up and the back button wasn't there to get rid of it. So I couldn't answer the phone.
One time I couldn't exit the settings menu because the buttons disappeared.
To remedy I turn off the display, turn it back on and unlock to the camera. I think because the camera has the special hidden buttons it causes the phone to refresh the button display otherwise I couldn't find another way to do it.
Has this happened to others? I haven't seen threads about it.

I lost them once but got them back by turning the phone sideways and then back upright once the buttons reappeared.

Oh wow, yea, that would probably work too. But some apps lock to portrait (dialer).

Happened to me while I was playing a game (Reckless Gateway) and received a call at the same time. After the call, soft buttons wouldn't appear anymore, had to restart my phone
I have only lost the buttons when flashing a mod that was not compatible...in that situation I did not have the virtual buttons or the notification bar at all.
Never happened to me on stock or rom. What build/android is your phone? You can find info in settings>about phone

This has happened to me a couple times while using Google Nav. I just pulled down the notification bar and hit the settings button - that seemed to bring the buttons back. Strange issue.
Just a few kinks that need ironing out.. hopefully Google is aware of minor bugs like this already

Yep, exactly. Though I wouldn't call this minor because it made me miss a call.
Another thing I just noticed. Go into an app that has the menu virtual button (the three dots) then turn off the screen. Turn it back on and the menu button will be the only virtual button on the Lock Screen. You can press it and automatically unlock the phone. I'm using slide to unlock and the news and weather app to do this every time.
Edit: Just tried with a different lock (pattern) and the menu button will not unlock. But it is still there and you can press it. It just does nothing. Weird.
half hour ago, it was ALL good.
15 or 20 mins ago when I was texting. suddenly the hardware buttons touch vibration refuse to work (volume rocker, long press power button, menu, back)
the vibration motor is 100% normal. I still have UI haptic feedback. like sidebar, dialer key press and all other UI haptic feedback all working fine.
Only the hardware button touch won't trigger vibration.
I tried to refresh the rom, kernel but still the same.
I know I could flash the stock rom and test but it would be a lot of effort. So I figure I'd ask here if anyone have this same problem before or have any idea if this
is hardware failure or just software problem?
I want to know if I need to sent my phone back to Samsung to get service.
Thanks in advance.
did you enable power saving mode?
when you enable it the haptick feedback goes away and when u turn it off is stays like that
you should re enable it from the power saver menu I guess

Similar query..
Though I don't use power saving mode, yet touch on vibration is not working.. Haptic feedback is clicked..
Is it because of having navigation bar enabled??

I only noticed this problem within the last 4 months. I just haven't had time to investigate fully or post about it. I've searched the forums and Googled to no avail. So, hopefully someone can shed some light on this.
Problem:
Whenever I dial out, just as I hit the dial button, the phone auto-switches the ringer mode to whatever is "next up". What I mean when I say "next up" is that if you were to physically hit the Volume Up button on the side of the phone, this is essentially what my phone is doing automatically when I hit dial.
So example, if my phone is currently on silent mode (i.e. if I hit the Volume Up button, it'll switch to Vibrate mode), and I try to call someone. Just as I hit dial, the phone places the call but also switches the phone to Vibrate mode. It does not switch the ringer mode when I hang up, it stays in Vibrate mode.
To further the example, if my phone is on Vibrate mode, and I try to call someone. As I hit the call button and the call is placed, the phone will change itself to Ring mode with the lowest volume.
I do not have any case on my phone and my dial button is no where near the volume buttons. Since I have noticed this problem, I've deliberately tried to ensure I hit the dial button without being anywhere near the volume buttons. So it isn't me accidentally hitting other buttons.
Is there a way to stop this? Why is my phone changing ringer mode when placing a call?
Any help would be appreciated!

So, I uninstalled it and you're right! It appears that fixed the issue! Thanks so much!
no problem glad to help and i heard of it a while back and i remembered so you might want to send AVG text support or the developer an email to say if they can fix the problem so you can install it again good luck happy flashing
No issues with my phone but I'm wondering is there a way to turn off the led on the back button and the other square button? That's my only issue. I don't like them turning on all the time. I can live with it turning on but I was just wonderin.
If you put it in medium power saving mode it will turn those lights off for you, among other things of course. I can't find a way to do this without enabling power saving mode.
Some carriers have removed that option from the settings. If that's the case with yours, as it is with mine, you can use the app Galaxy Button Lights 2 from the Play Store to turn them off. I'm using the app and it works great.
