Here’s a question, has anyone noticed that the Samsung S3 will not allow the user to use the camera while the user is on a call?
Recently I had a customer point out to me a new security feature that Samsung seemed to put into play on the S3, he was working in the backyard of one of his properties and he had a client wanted to see some photos of the property because he was looking to rent or sale the location but to his suprise the camera would not open....
All it showed was a notice saying "Warning : Unable to start camera during call" and to my suprise I tested this on my device and learned that this seems to be by design.
*Has anyone else noticed this and do anyone know a way to disable this option if possible?
Any feedback would be appreciated….
Just tested it on Synergy JB r118, no warning, and took the picture fine.

Yea. Its just the stock camera. I tried with instagram, power can, and color. Those all worked just fine.... sounds like a dev project to remove that check to me

There's a post in one of the sub forums somewhere that says what you have to edit to enable the camera during calls. It's just one line that you change from flat to true. I forget what file it is.

Guys, a little help needed. I am totally frustrated by how the call logs are displayed on the Infuse. The call logs show the name of the person and below it shows the phone number of the person instead of whether the call was made/from the persons cell/home/office etc. So if a person on my contact list has multiple phones (cell, home etc), how do I figure where they called from.
Ideal setup would be:
John Doe
Mobile
Rather than:
John Doe
123-456-7890
Doesn't this bother anyone? Any way to display this information?
Searched the forums but no dice. Sorry if answered already someplace.
Thanks a bunch.
First off this is posted in the wrong section. This is not a dev question
However, Call log display bugs me too. I text as often as possible to avoid it. Or just wait for someone to call me

Apologies if posted in the wrong forum. The only reason I posted this here was that this does not seem to be stock Infuse functionality and only a developer could "maybe" change this in a ROM release so it is a bit more user friendly.

Check out this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138613
It worked for me.
EDIT: Oops misread your thread. I thought you wanted to remove the messages.
I am going to receive my Nexus 7 in couple of days and I have started reading the respective forums. I got scared when I saw one of the threads has more than 1000 pages i.e. more than 10,000 posts I have to read to avoid falling on others' mistakes or to avoid repeating a question.
With such thread it is next to impossible to read it and keep the device in the safe side from mistakes which were faced by other users.
Therefore, I would suggest if there is a general Rule in all replies or posts to mention the word [Problem] in the starting of any post.
If this will be followed, it will be easier for users to search for the problems which others faced in a particular thread for a ROM, app, mod, etc...
Hope my idea is clear.
Or just Google search your problem and append xda and your device at the end of the query

The last pages of kernel, rom and tweak releases contain and cover the biggest parts of what's new and what could happen. You're never alone with a problem. Some development sub forums have guides for nearly everything.
Looks the idea isn't good. Anyways it was just and idea.

Hi, I have a cdma based android phone. The model is zte v6700. Purchased yesterday for my dad who had cdma sim. He finds difficult to swipe and answer call. In my note 2 I've installed big screen ID, which allow me to tap to answer or decline. I tried installing this app and still doesn't work. Is there any way to get tap to answer instead of swiping up to accept.

Hi everyone,
I obviously own a Samsung galaxy s 3. I've been playing around with ROMs recently, and found that I do really like CleanROM. However CleanROM, like most of the other ROMs I have tried to use have god awful GPS support. Typically this wouldn't be a big big downfall, but I'm moving in a few weeks and will need navigation just so I don't get lost haha
Anyway my question is this: does anyone know of a good, lightweight ROM that GPS actually works on? +1 internets to people who help me out
Thanks!

I just jumped onto that page and I will try this ROM tonight and report back
I'm on synergy 169 and my GPS is fine. Not a lot of people actually turn it on. Most people turn on the gos but I'd you go to settings scroll down to accounts then select Google then location settings then make sure box if checked to allow Google as pps to access your location. First time connecting to navigation took about 5 min. Maps located instantly but navigation always takes longer.

Reporting back, I like CleanROM so much I decided to just check and see if there was an updated version. Turns out there is (5.6 ad opposed to 5.5.1 that I had) I'm on the car on the way to work now and GPS is working fine. I'll check out Synergy as well as the person above me said. Thanks everyone!
if youre ever in GPS issues download gpsfix from the market, get a lock and your issue should go away.
Anyone know of a fully working TW ROM that has multi-window enabled?

I did do a search, I've looked through hundreds of posts in the past week. Synergy has multi-window, but cant scroll though 1000 pages to see what the bugs are (OP doesnt list current bugs), easier for me to post in Q&A section. Dam, if you post a question related to the ROM in the development thread you catch crap, if I post in Q&A, I catch crap. Make up your mind.

Hello guys,So im with three.uk they dont do LTE yet but they r about to roll it out very soon however they do DC-HSDPA and im in area where i should be getting it sadly im not getting it for some reason top of the screen shows only H+(mostly) sometimes H and 3G. If i go to connections->More Networks-> Mobile Networks -> Network mode i only get WCDMA/GSM(auto connect) or WCDMA only so this is what i get. I was reading that there is some problem with s4's shipped from korea and people advice to flash to unbranded stock well one was australian so i even flashed to australian firmware even to getman firmware so far no luck no lte in options not detecting DC-HSDPA just after flashing to getman/australian firmware i got an extra option in network mode and it is gsm only plus the other two i said before. So my question is how i could get this DC-HSDPA working and what indicator top of the screen will show instead of h+ will it show DC ? i was trying to find answers but no luck so far please help me outKind rengards Martin

the linked forum.

Funny how even after changing our forums name from "Samsung Galaxy S 4g" to "Samsung Galaxy S (4g model) people still come here thinking it's the s4
Should have renamed it SGH-959T/W
Well, and the actual forums themselves are still named S 4G. It's only the containing forum that's been renamed. It seems to have slowed the mess somewhat, but unfortunately we still have a moderate number of people who choose not to read.

mmm. I may suggest that the device forum to: Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V/T959W)
Saying T959 twice I think makes it a bit more clear.
If there is a rename, ALL the forums should be renamed... not just the header. I think that's where we're getting most of our current lazy bleedover now, from people who still see the S 4G rather than the S (4G Model) which is more clear.
Why not just add "NOT S4" to it as well.

Because then we'd need to add Not S, Not Epic 4G, Not Fascinate 4G, Not *every other phone model whose name we're somewhat near and whose lazy members can't be bothered to post in the right place* and that makes the forum name rather messy. Especially when reading on a tiny phone screen.

Then to make it easier let's add not non-galaxy-s-4g
we could just rename it to "Fah-Q Acid UserDebug 4G"

Instead of doing that, why don't the monitors simply delete any thread that's about some other phone as soon as it's started? That way, the person will not get any answers and will just go away after awhile.

That requires a moderator that is on hand all the time. Or people to report and not respond. And it apparent that is just not gonna happen either.
Best solution is report the post and people not feel the urge to tell the person that are a (insert insult).

The same thing is happening in the Galaxy 3 forum, which they had to rename to the Galaxy Apollo (Galaxy 3) forum. They are still developing roms for that little phone!

How about we just let the threads die after kindly reminding the S4 users that this is not their phone. Instead of arguing about it and keeping the very thread that we don't want alive. One person guide the S4 user in the right direction and then leave the thread alone to die. How does that sound?
Hello,
First of all, I would like to thank you for the great help your forum provides me in understanding how android system works, how it can be tweaked etc.. I am a former user of an iphone 4 which I have sold for a new Galaxy S4 I9506.
After looking for an answer and unable to find any, I post here today to ask you a question because I have a problem while displaying xda forum on my phone (see attached pictures). Do you have any idea of where the problem comes from, and how to solve it?
Thank you very much.
PS: Sorry if I post in the wrong forum but I'm a new user and not completely aware of all the rules.
You need to download the xda app!! Easier!
