I think maybe the ROM I'm on has that removed because it didn't work.

Not working for me either on Sprint running Blazer ROM

It worked for me! It's not really that useful, but I did find out the S3 has a barometric pressure sensor.

This has been around for a while on Samsung's Android phones. I use it and HTC's *#*#3424#*#* daily at my store.

Yes it was removed from Blazer.. you can find the app it starts in the "Removed Apps" section of his rom thread.

Nice.
Quick question. Why does the phone need to know the barometric pressure?
Thanks

Maybe someone will (or even has) write an app for some peer networking weather prediction system. And maybe the barometer helps with the GPS for altitude readings.

if your a climber hiker just a outdoorsy person like me, sypressure makes a great app with a baro altimeter and if you know that falling or rising pressure means changing weather you can monitor that too its kinda cool actually. the gps altitude you see on a straight gps program like gps tool box is always off by a long shot.

Nice this will work great for when I am porting MIUI!!! Thanks for this find..... Oh wait it probly only occurs on the stock ROM.... Damnit. Still be on the lookout for some MIUI

Any rom using the face recognition to unlock?

I read on here that Samsung was coming out with such a thing and I was wondering if there were any roms in the works that had this.?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
None of the E4GT ROMs have this yet. Probably won't see it until we get an ICS ROM.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
It was in the leak for the Epic 4G for Gingerbread Value Pack not the 4G Touch. As datajosh said we will be getting it for ICS no point in them wasting time on writing the feature or porting it for ours its coming.
Just use visidon app lock works perfect
OK thanks

Cool Brightness Shortcut

So I was just messing around with my phone and I found this cool way to change your brightness settings without having to go into settings. So besically all you have to do is slide across the top bar of the phone (where the time, battery, and data signal notifiers are). But do not pull down the notification bar just slide across the bar sliding to the right turns up the brightness sliding it left turns down the brightness. It works on GB and ICS. I dont know if this is a known feature or if samsung put it in there or if its just a glitch but i just wanted to share it.

Lmao.. this is where CM7 got the idea from. Aswell as having toggles in the notification bar, also borrowed from Twiz.
I am not flaming, but do non of toy even look at your operation manual?
First the screen shot key combo and now this. I guess cracking the manual open for five minutes does have its purpose.
Any other Sammy secrets deep within the dreaded user manual?

I've been using android for over two years and I didn't know about the existence of this shortcut. Thanks for sharing!
To the flamers: Keep it up. Pretty soon you'll completely destroy any atmosphere of sharing and open exchange and render XDA irrelevant as a resource for new, experienced users and everyone in between.

Need for Speed most wanted.

As far as I know this phone was supposed to come with need for speed installed. I jut have an icon that takes me to a website with little info about it. But when I look in the play store its in there for 6.99? Anyone have any news on this?

Same here. I am on the west coast even and there's not much time left in the 30th and still the link doesn't let me download.
The game is released in the Google Play store so it's definitely out, it's just that the T-Mobile deal hasn't been unlocked apparently.
Cool thanks for replies. Just making sure to add this to the bs hype list. Phone is badass no doubt, but hate how it came out lacking multi view and screen recorder and now need for speed.

Screen recorder?? What is that? And I ended up just buying the Need for Speed game today anyways. From what I heard the "FREE" version we were supposed to get was only a demo anyways.

Yes. Coming soon is not soon enough! The full screen popup is nice. You can also use the app hovernote to do something similar. Check out the nice work being done for the N7000 to include multiwindow features of galaxy note tablet. Hopefully this will also be made available on GN2
