I can't for the life of me find the setting that controls text commands. Where you send a text to your phone like #alarm# and your phone goes off. I found it before but now I can't find it.
Pretty sure you need an app for that..

That sounds like the app "Where's My Droid" If you lose your phone you can text it a special code that you made and it will sound an alarm or it will show you where your phones at on Google maps.

It was in the settings and it disappeared or something after I flashed an upgrade but the feature is this there. Try texting yourself #alarm# and your phone will go off. I didn't have an app. My phone will still respond to the commands but I no longer have a way of changing the settings.
I just tried it and all i got was a text. No alarm went off.

That's so weird. My phone will set off an alarm. I wish I could show you guys. Try #lock#. Make sure you use the # symbol.

There are no built-in text commands. Not on stock ICS, Touchwiz ICS, or Jellybean.

I didn't say you were. But give it a Google. I did and nothing came up and there was nothing in the press release or unveiling of the S3 that showed any of these features. And they sure don't exist on my phone.. or anyone else's here..

Lol I know, I'm questioning my own sanity at this point. I googled and googled and nothing came up. Our phones can be controlled remotely through Samsung dive. Does anyone have an original firmware S3? I remember the menu looking exactly like the motion settings with toggle switches and about 5 commands.

When I press the power button on my GN to turn the screen off it doesn't just go straight off like say the iPhone does, it kind of disappears down to a weird white line and then goes off. Its like the days of really old TVs where it went to a white dot when the crt turned off.
Does this happen to anyone else?

It's a feature.
That is how it supposed to be. It is an animation from Google since the Gingerbread builds
Lol, really? Each to his own I suppose. At least I know it's not a faulty display.
Thanks.

It's a really awesome little feature when turning off the device. I love it!
Haha, yeah, when I updated my Desire to CM7 I spent ages just turning it on and off to watch it. I'd be VERY sad if they removed that feature.
(I'm easily pleased)
Unfortunately I do not have this feature with my SGN.
I cannot find the option to enable it also through settings at all.
Anyone got any idea how to enable this?

I don't think u need to enable it... Its already there..... When you hit the lock button, u will see your phone do a CRT like animation.
When I turn the screen off I definitely don't have it. I used to have it on my Desire with Gingerbread (Miui XJ). I used to be able to enable it in the options but I definitely don't have it on my SGN???

That's because the SGS is running a bastardized version of Android, like all TouchWiz devices. If you were to flash CM or an AOSP-based build you would have it.

I LOL'd when I read this post, are you just trying to troll?
You might be able to turn it off if you go into display settings, or just wait until CM9 comes out, it gives you an option to turn it off in the CM Settings as well as the ability to make the animation appear when turning it on.
I highly doubt you bought a Nexus and bought the XDA premium app without knowing about this Gingerbread feature
Lol funny post. I remember when video was leaked of gingerbread and all it was was that screen off animation.
Slickest thing I ever saw lol

I might be really thick, but on gingerbread when you went back to a word you were offered the autocorrect suggestions again in order to change it. This isnt happening in ICS. Am I doing something wrong?
If you're talking about words you have added you can find them by going in to the main settings menu-language and input- then personal dictionary. Once in there you can add, edit or delete words.
Hope this helps.

Yeah they made some weird changes. Now you have to double tap (edit: or long tap) on a word in order to replace it.
Has anyone found that if you try to correct a spelling mistake it will change its self back? This is happening frequently to me.

As I look at my keyboard, I see that my hard keyboard has a silent icon on the spacebar in the top corner. Does this mean that it is a silent icon? If so, how do I use it?
Same here, I'm super curious I've tried everything I could think of, Maybe if I figure it out ill tell you but I know someone is gonna beat me to it:/

Unlock your phone, slide out the keyboard out and hold the space bar. It would put your phone in silent/vibrate and press/hold the space bar again to return back to the volume level. This somehow doesn't work if the phone is locked or in the music player.

TouchWiz, sorry. (was just reading an article on TouchFLO, typed the wrong thing)
When using certain music apps (poweramp, stock sound player..) the vibration on the phone freaks out and just buzzes and pulses. I can't figure out what is causing it.
Please tell us some more information about the phone so we can help you.
For example, what ROM or Samsung touchwiz software are you on? Are you rooted?

I would try uninstalling all those music apps and then do some detective work and install each app one by one to see which app it is. Report back what you find out.

A shot in the dark here,,,,but go to /settings/sound/
Scroll to the bottom and disable "Auto Haptic" if it is enabled.

Right on right on.
Also.... it's not so obvious...but long pressing on that menu item/switch brings up a blacklist/whitelist to choose which apps will be affected by auto-haptic though I don't use it myself.
I don't think my nfc is working. I tried doing the Google wallet mod to work and failed a few times so I gave up on it and restored my backup.
I haven't messed with the nfc feature before that but tried with a co worker today and it wouldn't work.
I could share through wifi direct but not through nfc.
I watched a YouTube video on it to make sure I was doing it right, but I noticed I don't have an icon come up in notifications whenever I enable nfc through settings.
I am running the h20 lk8 room

Still doesn't work. Gonna go to sprint store and see if their demo phone has it working

Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I have used nfc many times and I never see any icob light up. The only time you get an icon is after you receive a file through s beam letting you know the transfer is complete. Your not supposed to see an icon just because nfc is enabled.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
does it make the blurp sound when you touch it to another nfc phone? also remember unlike the S3 the CENTER of the phone is not the touch point its the top half. the range is EXTREMELY short (many times under 1 inch) so you do need to touch with "some" precision.
also make sure SBEAM is also turned on (thats what is uses to nfc file transfer)
you don't transfer via NFC you transfer via wifi direct which is linked to sbeam and nfc handles the "handshake" so BOTH nfc and sbeam need to be on to do a file swap
like this

I think all share needs to be turned on. I just tried the other day.
