I have a friend who wants me to unlock there AT&T Galaxy S3 for use w/T-Mobile. The problem is, the screen works completely fine but the bottom menu and back touch buttons do not light up or work so I cannot unlock it with the dialer. Any other suggestions?

Try to get the code from AT&T rep, might need a few tries.
Get the app "toucher" from the play store. It is similar to assistive touch on an iPhone. You can access the menu and back buttons from that app.

Thanks i'm going to try this right now! Kudo's to you for the help.
I downloaded the app and setup my menu and back key but how do I get it to show up when I am in the dailer/menu?
Well that worked, thank you for the idea, Toucher app worked like a charm. Thank you again!

Im trying to unlock my phhone how do you do it with the dialer?
If the phone is running a 4.3 or newer bootloader, you will need to get an unlock code as the free methods won't work.

Hi,
I made a app called Task Changer that works Ok at gingerbread and cm7. It has an option to root users to go_back and show menu emulating key press.
I have a nexus S and I've put a rom with ICS and that options don't work at this rom launching an exception for a not found class.
I wonder if this error is for this rom or for official release.
If you have a galaxy Nexus rooted, please try this and give me feedback about go_back action.
Thank you all!
Hi Pacosal,
I am using your Task Changer app on my CM7 HP Touchpad.
Its a great app and I would be happy to test it for you. I am getting my Galaxy Nexus on Saturday (in two days) - so once I have rooted it, I will test and let you know.
Cheers

Forgive my ignorance, but within ICS, can't you just switch task very easy with that "window" button (right side button) at the bottom?

Hi pacosal.
I have got my nexus and rooted it and i can confirm that thr go bavk and menu options are not working for me. When i set the swipe to either of these, i am given the option to allow superuser access which obviously i accept. However the swipes then do not actually do anything. I get the message at the top saying what the swipe should have done - however nothing actually happens.
The rest of the app and the other functions all seem to be working great.
Hope this helps :]
Is there a picture app/ feature that allows you to quickly take a picture without having to unlock the phone?
Windows and crappie have this features and I wanted on my S3.

Thanks, but the feature mentioned above does not support codes so it does not work when the phone is locked.
Do you have a GS3?
Why not try adding the camera app to one of the shortcuts on the lockscreen?

This is why:
1) Faster camera launch.
2) You don't have to enter a password every time you want to take a picture yet your phone its still locked/secured.
3) If you want someone else to take a pic, you have to stop and unlock the phone first or give them your password.
4) When the shortcut is on the lock screen, you have to enter the password before allowing you to take the pic. You'll miss the moment.
5) With Windows 7 and Crapple you don't have to unlock and could quickly launch the camera. Also, all the pictures you take at the moment are visible w/o unlocking.
It would be a good feature to have on the GS3.
Would be a great add on

of course that would be an inconvenience if you have a password on your phone (which i understand most people do.) i on the other hand do not as i dont let my phone out of my sight. i use the shortcut but thats just me and like they say to each his own right.
I would assume if you have a pin unlock code or something else it would be there no matter what app you use

There is an app for this but it requires having a dedicated shutter button on the device.
May I ask how you plan to take a picture without having some sort of GUI?

If memory serves me right, that has a dedicated camera button. If you really really really want this feature, you could remap the home button to function as your camera button, then run the navigation bar that appears in galaxy nexus devices and devices without hardware buttons
Can't you make a tasker function for that

You can wait for Android 4.2 since this functionally is now built into the lock screen.

Yes it does but I didnt have to use the button to do it. You pushed the unlock button, then slid the lock ring onto the camera icon (assuming you had it on your lock screen) and you could take a picture. You would see the 3 sec preview of it, and then take more pics. If you tapped the small pic of the last image, and it would take you to the pattern/number lock. That way someone couldn't see your pics without the pass.

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.

Alright so recently I've gotten rid of all custom roms and gone with stock GB27 because I wanted better battery life with my phone. My phone is not rooted or anything at the moment.
However, the other day I did root again and since then my phone started being really weird. I stayed on stock GB27 and just did root so that I could keep the really good battery life but still be on JB. After root I noticed that my phone doesn't register power button presses the same. Sometimes if I just tap the power button it accepts it as me holding it and brings up the power menu asking if I want to turn off, etc. or it just won't respond at all. If it doesn't respond, I press it again hoping it will respond, but then it just reboots after I press it like 3 times hoping for the screen to turn off.
It's really irritating when I can't unlock my device or turn off the screen, especially when the phone turns on and off perfectly if I want it to. I have no issues being able to turn the phone on if it is completely off, it's only when the phone is on that I have these problems. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I recently upgraded to the LG Optimus G Pro and I love it and all, but while I'm at work when I get messages, my phone does all sorts of crazy things in my pocket because the screen comes on. I was wondering if there was a setting that I was looking over that would stop it from doing that? I'm trying not to root it because I know the bare minimum about rooting phones, but I did root my Galaxy s2 Skyrocket with youtube tutorials.

What things is it doing? I have the flip case and that keeps it from coming on and such. I think there is a pocket mode in the setting(I could be wrong about this though) check in display section or even under notifications.

Or go into the offending app that's causing you trouble and turn notifications off.

I think there are a few others who have complained about this as well. I don't have a texting plan (I use Google Voice), so I haven't ever experienced this. However, if there aren't any options in the phone settings, there may be another way.
I seem to be on this Tasker kick lately, so when someone has a problem that is related to the phone sensors or events, I tend to think "how can I fix this with Tasker?!" . As a result, I have made an app really quick using Tasker and have even included the project XML if you want to fiddle with it on your own. It does NOT require root. However, it will need you to install another free app called "Secure Settings" and give it administrator rights in your phone settings. All that the app does is wait for an incoming message and checks to see if the proximity sensor detects something in front of it. If it does, it turns the screen off. However, like I said, I don't have a texting plan, so I haven't had a chance to really test it. The app interface is just an "ON/OFF" button and a "Close" button. If it doesn't work, just turn it off or uninstall it. It is set to "OFF" when it is first installed.
Alternatively, you can play around with it if you get Tasker. I think there is still a trial period you can get if you aren't sure if you want to buy it. Let me know if it works or if you have any other questions.
I named the xml file as a .zip just to upload to xda. Just rename the file without the ".zip" at the end and then you can edit and/or import to Tasker.

This is easily fixed, just change the lockscreen to anything other than swipe and the phone will no longer accidentally become unlocked in your pocket

Okay I just realised that there is an emergency call button on the screen when you have either pin, password or pattern unlock set. If you just have swipe, there is no emergency call button. Maybe this will help?
