Weather animation - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I enable the lockscreen weather animation? Though I've checked it in the settings, it just has never worked. My sync is on, my Internet is on, and my location is set to network mode. Is the feature broken on the phone?

Do you have any apps or services frozen/removed? It worked fine for me until I started freezing LG services.

Does it display an animation for rain or thunderstorms? Stock the G3 will only animate a few weather conditions. To remedy this you can use the app G3 Tweaksbox as it has an option for enabling all weather effects. Is this what you're asking?

Stock internet browser app dimming?

This past week the stock Samsung internet browser app dims when opened. Then when I close it the phone goes back to the brightness level it was at before opening up the browser. only happens when using the Samsung stock browser. Anyone else having this problem?
Stock AT&T GSIII
Edit: Also wanted to add that this is not happening on my wife's GSIII.

Check display settings. There is an option to change the screen tone to reduce battery usage. Try unchecking that.

Thanks for the reply but just unchecked it and it's still doing the same thing. Even tried toggling on and off auto brightness and it still does the same thing. It's very strange.
Try turning off powesaver.

I'm chalking this up to a bug. I have a friend with an S3 with this exact problem. No amount of settings changing would fix it. I'm pondering doing a factory reset on his and seeing if that fixes the problem.
I was having the same issue. Turning off power save mode fixed it.

Its not a bug. I was able to make this happen or not happen by changing a few settings, but I don't remember which ones because I'm on AOKP.
But it definitely is a battery saving feature, so turn off all battery saving stuff and then try it.

The Samsung gs3 browser has its own display brightness settings that are independent of your screen brightness settings. While in the browser press menu and you should see a screen brightness option. You can select between 3 levels of brightness or set your own slider.
Thanks everyone...I found the culprit.
For anyone else having this problem, it is under the phone settings, power saving, I unchecked "Background color" which says "Change background color to save power in internet"

For problem 1 & 2: go into Settings / Global roaming -> Roaming clock settings -> Disable "Use roaming dual-clock"
Now you can change clock style (maybe a restart is needed)
For problem #3, I mine working ok
For #3, do you have a message when trying to put the brightness to max? Might be because the device is heating and won't let it rise.
for 3,i can tell you,if you don't put the brightness to min,the brightness auto adjust will work.and you can use 3845#*180*# to test it.
can't set

LG works in kinda different way:
The brightness level can grow up, but cant go below the minimal level you set.
I set it to 0 and checked auto adjust, it seems to stay at 0 even under sunlight

i have the same problem. i want to remove seoul clock. please help! ROAMING CLOCK IN SETTINGS APP IS GRAYED OUT AND CANNOT ACCESS.
I found the easiest fix guys.. just like the others i have an lgog f180k Korean ics.. dual clock settings is by default enabled.. to disable this u must be within a roaming area ask ur network carrier.. the phone automatically detects that roaming is available and it wil prompt u if u want to roam. Thats why global rroaming is grayed out because ur not in a roaming area. Here's my lockscreen now... luckily here in my place roaming is available.

No it will not, it will use wifi to get location only IF wifi is on and only when an app needs to determine your location.

GPS shortcut?

I can't seem to find GPS shortcut for the pull-down menu after I did the KitKat update. Did they remove it or am I just blind and cannot find it?
Its called location. If you don't see that then scroll all the way to the right and click on edit and look for location. If its already checked then try toggling it off and back on

I just figured that out. I really liked having 1 click GPS on and off. Now its 3 clicks. Oh well I guess I'll get used to it.
How is it 3 clicks? Once its on your notification panel you just toggle on/off with one click

Doing that also turns off the cell and Wi-Fi location services. I was just looking for the quick GPS sensor toggle.
Yeah it depends if you want to keep it on a certain mode. Thus far using the battery saving mode has still given me accurate GPS location. I haven't tried using navigation with it though so not sure if that would work just as well or not.

Make the screen turn off when charging AUTOMATICALLY?

I don't like how the screen stays on while charging, I know theater mode can turn it off but I have to get into theater mode every night and I know there is a trick with ambient display from the app but this also takes time. Is there a way to just have the watch turn off the screen ALWAYS when charging without my asking it to?

Get an app called slumber. It does what you're looking for.

Actually slumber didn't work very well for me buy I ended up finding a thing online saying to go into developer options and change the setting, THAT worked wonders

I confirm that setting it "backwards" from what you expect does what you want. Someone's boolean logic was off when they programmed that setting.

This worked for me too. Setting is reversed.
Once on charge, I get the charging screen for about 15 seconds then it turns off and stays off! Perfect!
i can confirm that the setting is reversed
however, this feature isn't all that reliable (the screen doesn't always turn off)

You gotta dock with the screen on. 90% off the time it works every time
