before I go and do something stupid... - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'd like to at least tweak my dpi right now. Will tinkering with build.prop trigger the automatic system restore?
edit: just tried it, nothing triggered. one issue for anyone else who wants to change their dpi (this way, at least), if you have an S-View cover, the S-View seen doesn't scale. it ends up shrunken in the upper left corner.

also, the camera app is shrunken and to the upper right. weirdness

Screen flickering issue

Hey everybody...
I just got a new note & everything is excellent except that I've been noticing some weird flickering in the screen... Its not even flickering, its more like it goes dark for milliseconds & its not that frequent. Should i be conserned or its a software issue... does anyone have such an issue?

Have you got auto brightness enabled? If so try manually setting the brightness, also check your screen timeout in setting /display set it to a 1min not 15secs

Auto brightness is off. The same issue is happenning with my galaxy s3.

Go into Developer Options in Settings and set animations to .5x.

Take it back. It may be a defect.

I dont think it is. Because on the home screen & some apps like youtube the issue is nonexistent, Strange

I have not seen this issue yet. Had mine since launch.

After some testing I found out that the screen issue is related to some apps only such as chrome & xda's app. Most other apps work just fine such as s note, photoshop, youtube, all games & the home screen shows no flickeri g whatsoever.

I have seen this, I was worried but it is very difficult to return my unit as it is a grey import.
I totally didn't notice that it went away after changing screen timeout to 1 minute. Battery life is good enough to easily cope with this.
Setting back to 15 seconds to see if it re-occurs.
fyi, I leave brightness auto.

I can confirm that the problem is solved. The whole issue is that some apps are conflicting with the hover function for the s pen. Once you disable that function in settings all becomes completly normal without any issues.

I have the similar issue on my Note 10.1 - the browser is the biggest 'flasher' and it seems random. I called Samsung support - They had me reset to factory and the issue went away, but eventually came back. I don't want to have to keep resetting to factory as that is painful for me to reconfig everything and I tend to believe that if I restore to ClockWorkMod backup, the issue will still be there.
Hi.
l had the same problem earlier. Simply deactivate the hovering S - Pen icon, and voila!

[Q] Disable Touch Key Lights?

I'm on MIUI and there is no way to disable them while still retaining functionality. I do not want to use the on screen NavBar, i still want to use the touch keys and home button, just not have them light up. I'd also rather not use ScreenDIM, etc. I'd prefer to do a system change or something to disable the lights. Any ideas?
Isn't there a galaxy settings in the settings menu?

Default home screen

So my Nexus 5 gets here tomorrow but I've been playing around with the kit Kat launcher on my Xperia.. I figured out how to add panels but is there a way to set one as default? Thanks!
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
I believe the default screen is permanently set to the first one to the right of the Google now screen.

I don't know if getting to Google Now from the home screen by swiping to the right is set up in a way such as Apple's way of getting to the search panel. It seems more like swiping from the left starting kinda OFF screen, like how you tend to do with slide-in settings tabs and such in different apps. Only guessing though, as i don't yet have my N5 (should have it by Wednesday at the latest), but that's what it seems like in every video i've watched. Someone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong with this.
Yup when Google now it's activated it is a normal swipe from the to access it

4.4.2: Spen icon in the notification bar

Hi, I was able to remove that silly spen icon in the notification bar in 4.3 by using quick shortcut maker and finding the page or site buddy. After upgrading to 4.4.2 that icon returned. Furthermore the page buddy crashes at once it is called.
How can I get rid of this silly spen icon in 4.4.2? Any ideas?
Sent from my Note 3
Just put some electrical tape over the top corner of the screen so you can't see it.

SPen icon is there to remind you that you have detach your SPen from the phone. It is easy to get distracted in busy world, and that litle thing is there for that one specific helpful reason.

Are you trying to be funny or sarcastic ?
I dint think you're either.
If you haven't got anything sensible to say... Don't say anything.

Do a factory reset if page buddy keeps crashing - OR remove it via Titanium backup and have someone give you the files and push them into the system (this might not work though)

The Wacom digitizer uses battery. I want my indicator in case I set the pen down and continued using my phone. The pen insertion/removal sensor is more about activating/deactivating the Wacom digitizer than it is about warning keeping track of your pen and the symbol helps too.

You're working on the misconception that the Wacom digitizer is switched on/off depending on whether or not the sPen is inserted.
It isn't. Try using a different Wacom pen on your screen with the Note's pen still inserted. You will find it still works fine.

[Q] Is there an easier way to toggle beats audio?

The only thing that i hate about my new One Mini is how beats audio is buried at the bottom of the settings menu, instead of being easily accessible from the task bar in my previous phone the HTC ONE S. I dont like having to go all the way there to turn it off or on every day when transitioning from headphones to speakers or from music to video. Is there some kind of app or something that can act as a toggle widget for beats audio or is there a way i can get it back in the taskbar?
I'm sure you can set a quick setting tile to toggle this. If I remember right it was using sense toolbox for xposed framework.

Unfortunately yes. I may be mistaken too. Haven't got the phone at hand at the mo. Also prolly not worth routing just for that.
