Screen timeout on calls.

Has anyone discovered a way to keep the screen on longer while on a call?
Is there any way to change this? If I missed another post on this I apologize. Thanks

You can use power manager in the Google Marketplace

One of the best 99 cent app I've ever purchased. Support the Dev, he just lost his job, and the app kicks ass.

Yeah, Power Manager has the option to a max of 2 minutes, but it has never worked for me, it always times out waaay earlier.

i use shake awake free app that causes your phone to turn back on if you move it a certain amount, you can ajust the sensitivity to howevver much you like. mine basically stays on if the phone moves at all while i am on a call

Awesome I will try these. Thanks for the responses.

Power manager doesn't change the timeout for the screen during calls. The only way to change that currently is using the shake program mentioned above. I use both programs and love both of them so when power manager doesn't help with the screen timeout during a call use it for all the other great benefits and select monitor so it can apply the different profiles (which you can customize) for all the situations.

I tired these apps they both seem to work pretty well, any ideas on how this could be done without using an app?

It has the setting for it, but obviously doesn't work:

[Q] Help: I Bricked My Device?

I've been hacking away at this Captivate for a month since I got it. Maybe a hundred times going into download mode. But, now I cannot get my device into download mode from the: "PHONE --/\-- COMPUTER" screen.
Here's what I've been doing since I've had the phone:
- Pull battery, sd, sim
- Put battery in
- Put USB in
- Hold both Volume and Power down
- Once the PHONE--COMPUTER screen goes black, wait.
- After it goes black one more time, let go of Power button
What is going on? Am I screwed here? I was applying the Ext2 (2.3) lag fix over JH2 when this happened, here's my CMD:

Was your phone rooted before you tried the fix?

Of course! I even pressed "Allow" on superuser. The fix won't continue past a few lines without root access.

pull the battery, sim card, sdacard...
put in the battery, hold volume down, plug in the usb cable and keep holding volume down until you get into download mode.

Worked like a charm!
Super super odd. I've been getting taking this thing into download mode like every 2 minutes since I've had the device. Never had a problem till now!
Why wouldn't my usual procedure in the OP work? It always has for me?

I think those are higher level methods, something may have been messed up and keeping them from working.
I am pretty sure this method is a lower level method that will always work.

Wow, that's neat. I didn't know you could do that on the sgs2.
That's just goes to show you how the Infuse it's such a sucky POS.
I was able to silent the phone with a battery pull though.
I think the volume down button works too but I haven't tried it yet.
I have heard that if you found a certain feature on other Android device, and the said feature is important enough to you, you can try to get the source code for it. Compile it into Settings.apk, SystemUI, and framework or just rework the kernel and share it.

qk,
Pulling the battery is a lot of trouble- I always just let it get down to 0%.
Can confirm vol. down works- just can no longer hear my music.
These devices would be considerably cheaper if it were not for all the extra features - vol. down.... whose bright idea was that??? :silly:

[Q] TF300T wont turn on

HI,
So, grabbed my TF300T one day and it would turn on, "no prob" its just out of charge, so charged it (led on the power button went green) went to turn it on and nothing! tried soft and hard resets and still nothing!
Does anyone have any ideas or is it just dead? its stock, just unlocked (form ASUS tool).
Cheers.

Try using the reset hole on the left side of your tablet. Hold that down for varying lengths of time.
Does the light still turn on when you plug it in?

I have tried the reset button but with no results.
Yes, when plugged into the mains i get the orange and then green led.

It could also be the power button shiftet out of place. Remove micro sd card and remove the back cover. Ask someone for help if you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself. Be careful with the hdmi and audio connectors. A pry tool is useful but not required.

Done that too. I had a new motherboard from the last RMA. I think I will just have to face facts that it is now dead

Last suggestions. Service switch is off. (But that kind of don't happen by itself).
Have you checked if it possible to put it in apx mode? Have you done the nvflash/wheelie/flatline backup?

[GUIDE] Here is How to Boot Into Safe Mode

As I was trying to take a screenshot of this to make a thread about how ridiculous Verizon is, I accidentally booted into safe mode.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I pressed down the home button + volume down a few times, and that is how it happened. Perhaps devs already knew this. Here is a guide anyways.
1. Start phone
2. Once you hit Verizon screen (or any screen past bootloader screen), either hold down power + volume down, or press it a few times.
Note that doing this will reset your wallpaper and folders.

I normally boot into it by accident as well lol.

if the phone is running, simply longpress the "Power off" prompt after you get the phone options popup. I believe it disables all the third party (Downloaded/sideloaded/etc...) apps.

This is correct. It's a good way to troubleshoot the phone and see if 3rd party apps are causing an issue
