Any app or tweak to keep the screen ON during calls. I'm on custom ROM NOT based on stock ROM. So not option in Call Settings in Phone APP (Samsung ROM)
Please, respond, thanks !
No. U could always request for a xposed module for that. (Y would u want to keep ur screen on, may I ask?)
Smack that thanks button If I helped!

A similar question - is it possible to always keep the screen on when the phone is laying on the table (i.e. when the proximity sensor is not showing that I'm holding the phone close to the ear)? I tried to do it with Tasker, but for some unknown reason it doesn't work.

No such settings on my Note 2. I only have a Screen Timeout setting, but there's no way to give it separate values depending on whether there's an active call or not.

Let me clarify. I do want the proximity sensor to be active at all time. I just don't want the screen to go off if (1) the sensor reports that I'm not holding the phone close to my ear -and- (2) I'm in a middle of the call. If I am holding the phone close to the ear I want the screen to be off, and the same is true if I'm not in a call and just left the screen on. I want to phone screen to turn off after a minute or two.
The aforementioned setting is available on the phone, but does not help me achieve what I'm looking for.

What does the above setting change from what you want? Sounds like that's exactly what it does.
The proximity sensor is of no use for what you want.

If I uncheck "Turn off screen during calls" it means that the screen will remain on when I hold the phone close to my ear. I don't want that. I do want it to turn off in this case. I only want it to remain constantly on when the phone is not close to my ear and a call is taking place, but then it still turns off when the display timeout is reached. I'd like to find a way to disable the display timeout during calls.

In these days here in northerner Italy we are having some very cold days (-7°C last night) and we have to wear gloves going out to prevent hands freezing
As we all know, with gloves on, capacitive screen is unusable at all. so i can't answer a call without removing gloves.
It would be a nice idea to implement a mod to let you answer a call or reject it by pressing volume up or volume down keys during an incoming call notification...
in Belarus was about -20°C all last week
I don't like gloves =)
-24 last night in Finland. And I don't like gloves neither: )

Update to Froyo
Settings - Call settings - All calls - Answering call - Answering key (Accept incoming calls by pressing the home key)
There you have it. Here in Finland it's near -30°C so this has been handy
Also,
Settings - Accessibility - The power key ends calls (Press the power key to end calls. This will not turn off the screen)

Yeah that's what I have been doing, it's bloody freezing here in scotland at the moment the whole place is a like an arctic wasteland. It's great so you don't have to take you gloves off
Just sew a loop of conductive thread on the fingers of you gloves.....

Does't work in ICS an other ideas how to do it without additional applications ?
Reviving a two year old thread not a good idea bro
poor italians ... come visit my house ... I dont have problem with answering phone calls while freezing ... I cannot move at all
Stock rom have this feature, Home button to answer and power button to close. Just enable it in settings. ICS have only Power button to close call, for answer nothing. Where i live, sud italy, is not so cool also in Winter so its not a problem for me xD
Lick your gloves. I found out by accident on a rainy that if your gloves or screen is wet, you can use the capacitive touch screen even with a glove on.

Hello Guys,
I'm wondering what may be the reason for having too low auto brightness in SGN2. When I switch to manual there is no problem but the automatic mode is too dark in my test. Any ideas to fix that?
It actually manages automatically according to the surrounding light so it can vary its brightness
Yup, mine on auto and it keeps on changing the brightness accordingly.
Dear try iy while in a good light source and it will change according... with less light it goes to dark
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
As far as I know you can trim the auto brightness under settings so that the screen gets brighter or less bright under the same surrounding brightness condition

+1 !
this is smart because even with automatic brightness you can set it minimum and max.
Guys, just a small tip, there's a setting in the power saving settings which says something like arrange the light and color of the screen by analyzing in accordance with external light etc. That setting is enabled by default, disable it and compare the results. I have done the same and now have a much better display.

just set the slider to maximum at auto brightness
I'm happy with the auto light levels with the exception of the browser. It's dark. As soon as I enter it the screen darkens and when I leave it (or open something else, like the bookmarks for example) for a fraction of a second it brightens up before it switches to the next app/screen.
Anyone else experiencing this?

The stock browser on the S3 has a seperate brightness setting you have to change. I assume the Note 2 is the same.

On the S3, with the browser open you would hit the menu button and Brightness would be one of the options to select.

Correct fix is to turn off POWER SAVING MODE. Try that sir.
First I noticed that my email icon says I have 205 emails, no matter what. I also noticed that my voicemail icon doesnt like to clear. All my ringtones were set back to default even my email and text. Even after resetting my email ringtone it still wont sound. My multi-window kept opening every time I hit the back button even though I had made it stay closed by pressing and holding the back button. I had to restart my phone for that to work correctly. While this was going on, my phones battery was really bad for 2 days. I didnt even use it, it was connected to wifi and the battery drained by 8 pm, with no use. Its 10:45 here right now and I have 80%, which is good. I noticed the screen flickers with white sometimes too when I hit the home key. I am getting really tired of my phone not working. There was another thing that wasnt working correctly but I forgot what it was, a restart fixed it though. Anyone else having problems? what should I do? I know it isnt much but I like my stuff to work correctly. I Am stock rooted. I am not on lk8.
No one has a response?
Factory reset it?

Sounds like something is borked from a bad download or flash. I would reset to rule out the normal issues. With all the sms and app backup programs out there you don't stand to lose much, if anything, by reflashing the rom.
Why the hesitation?
Rooting can be great but typically is to install a program (feature) or rom that didn't come stock. If you're doing this and can't afford to reset if a conflict comes up then it generally its a good idea to stay 100% stock and let sprint fix your issues [which they typically do with a reset]
If you decide to reset try sms backup, and an app backup program like titanium or app backup and restore.
Good luck!

Hi
I'm not a developper but I created an app with the Tasker App Factory that unplug 3G one minute after you lock your screen. The one minute delay is here to prevent the phone plugging and unplugging at any time the screen goes off. During this delay, if you wake your device, the process will stop and begin again when you turn the screen off. When the screen is off, after the 1 minute delay, 3G is stopped while the phone is in your pocket to prevent battery drain
Once it is stopped, if you wake the device a new 5 second delay is started, for those who just want to check the clock , and then the 3G is plugged with a ''Data restarted'' toast
Note : Tasker IS NOT required to use this apk :victory:
Feel free to request any modification like the delay or the toast text, I'm here to share such things. And if it helped, don't forget the :good: button

cpu usage
Your app gave me a watchdog alert as it's using more than 50% CPU. This would counteract any benefits as eating CPU results in battery drain.
It also uses 15.3 mb of ram when its role is simple and in no way justifies the ram/CPU usage.
Going to try this as I am tired of manually switching to 2g all the time.

I love this feature and the knock features as well. They're awesome. But LG should have given the user a choice whether to use them. Seems like it would be very simple to have a setting for these and whether they are active or not based on the user preference.
I thought my screen was having issues too, and I agree - would be nice to have the option to enable or disable this as battery life is undoubtedly taking a slight hit.

This is awesome on the Verizon version. I have seen this flash a few times and not know why. That is super awesome.
It is basically a swipe down / hold motion. Once you remove your finger, it turns back off.
I dont seem to have this function on TMo version. If I swipe down the blue light flashes for a second, but thats it.
you have to have a lock screen on to use

It's been confirmed that and the multiple users (guest mode) features have been excluded from the AT&T version. I looked a couple of days ago, and was disappointed to learn this.
Boo damn AT&T
I was skimming through the user manual included in my T-Mobile box and it's actually listed in there. That is how I found out about it. I'm guessing it's in everyone's manual probably.

FYI. Not only do you have to have a lock screen, but the screen has to be locked. I have my lock timer (Settings | Display | Lock screen | Lock timer) set for 5 min after screen timeout, and for those 5 minutes the peek doesn't seem to work.

Why must carriers mess with features of a vendors phone? I wish there was a ROM I could use to get back to factory for a base LG G4 (like the developer version of HTC One M8 I used to have).
I must have disabled a page and a half of AT&T apps that all require some form of payment to use...
