I used to own an iphone 4 and that device has great responsivnes. The captivate not so much. ALot of times I would have to tap 2-3 times, especially the 4 main bottom keys. Anyways, I went to android for pure customization. Can someone help me out? I cannot find the option to disable the screen lock on my captivate. I just want to be able to lock/unlock it with a button, instead of swyping the unresponsive screen. Thanks
Go download Lock Bot on the market.

I just downloaded lock bot and it doesnt even have a feature to disable the screen lock. I went to android to be able to customize every thing and this one thng I can't do really starting to piss me off.
the app you are lookink for is called "no lock" and does only that

Yeah I figured. Well if I can't disable this annoying screen lock, ill just set the lock out to 30 minutes. This android device has such an unresponsive screen compared to the iphone 4. I find myself having to tap 2-3 times on an icon and the system also LAGS. Any of you expereinicing this or is it just me? For example, i have a full album of really high quality DSLR images and in the gallery mode, pictures sometimes take forever to load when im scrolling through. My old iphone 4 did this instantly. Switching between apps like Email, web browser and MP3 player would not be instant. 2-5 second lag in between. Really disapointing on the captivate.
The poster above just gave you the solution for disabling the locking screen so I don't know why you are still posting about not being able to do it.
I experienced so major lagging etc when I first got the Captivate. I hard reset it to start fresh. Since then, I've used the stock launcher, Launcher Pro etc loaded lots of apps and I'm not experiencing lagging anymore with the exception of Exchange email which takes a second to open.
Seems like you were really satisfied with the iphone 4. You keep referring to it like an old girlfriend. "My old girlfriend never hassled me about going out with the boys..." At least, if the Captivate doesn't work out for you, you have a phone to go back to that you were apparently happy with.

yeah, we have a thread solely for whining in...there was never a need for you to make a new topic about this. it just clutters the homescreen.
simple searching would answer a lot of your questions...root the phone, remove the att bloatware and then restart it and get a task killer. problem solved.
don't use the sammy widgets if you don't like them (i use them and they don't lag) and most importantly, android allows for customization but it's based off linux so heed these words - YOU NEED TO DO IT YOURSELF. in other words, you need to write the app that bypasses the lock screen, you need to write your own themes and you need to quit whining about it.
the iPhone has a lock screen too, i don't know why yours is being laggy but like everything YMMV...so try the fixes (refer to pimp my captivate) and then let us know if you have any other issues...
oh and welcome to the forums, just use the damn search button
Hi all, just got a TB and rooted it yesterday. It was one of the first things I did when I got my phone, so I can't say that this wasn't an issue beforehand, but it seems like LauncherPro isn't staying in memory. Every now and then, when I press the home screen, it will ask me whether to use HTC Sense or LauncherPro. This will keep occuring at random, even after I've checked to use LauncherPro by default. Is anyone else having this problem? Know a quick fix?
Nobody else experiencing this?
there's an option in launcherpro's general settings 'keep in memory'. have you tried that yet? are you using some sort of app-killer (like advanced task manager or ES)? is launcherpro ignored in that?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Ah, sorry, should have clarified. Yes, I have the keep in memory already checked and I am not using any sort of app killer unless there is a stock app killer that I don't know about.
ok, then. in the phone's settings menu, go to applications/manage applications, find launcherpro. is it selected to launch by default?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
No defaults set, which is why I assume the settings aren't sticking. Should I just force stop, clear data, uninstall, reinstall to see if that works? Or do you know a nifty way to set it to the default launcher.

you could do what I did, and use Titanium to remove HTC Sense from the phone. No point in having it if your going to use a different launcher.
Haven't checked yet, but is removing HTC Sense one of the safe removable apps? Were you having the same issues as I was or did you just remove it because you didn't use it?
i don't recommend uninstalling sense. i know, launcherpro is good and all, but it's still a third party software, and if something goes wrong, you're left with no launcher, and that kind of sucks... and no, i don't know any way to make it default (other that choosing from the list when it pops up). but reinstalling might help!

i am running das bamf and removed every bit of sense I could get my hands on immediatly as I like what they did with the rom but hate sense. I also installed launcher pro right away and deleted sense.
I have never had launcher pro end up at a point where I couldn't use it anyone. I did this for 2 months on my evo 4g, and will continue to do so.
Just stuck to the tried and true method of clearing data. LauncherPro seems to be sticking now. Thanks for all the replies!
Ah, spoke a little bit too soon. Doesn't seem to be sticking any longer. When I rooted, the process went very smoothly and all root apps that I have run with no problems.
I'm just wondering if there's any way that rooting may have affected LP since no other users seem to be having this problem.
Bumping this.

I have had this very same problem since day 1 with my T-Bolt, and it's driving me crazy. I have not rooted yet, so rooting has nothing to do with it... just so you know...
Like with your's, I get that nasty launcher selection popup randomly; and if I exit from any streaming app or music app, it pops up EVERYsingle time the HOME key is pressed.
It also happens with ADW in exactly the same way as LauncherPro, so I would bet it happens with any launcher that is not Sense.
What have I done to fix it?
1. I have uninstalled / re-installed LauncherPro (and ADW), with no luck.
2. Just in case it was a conflict of Google restoring what I had on my Incredible to my T-Bolt, I uninstalled every uninstallable app I could, and then waited over night for Google to do it's backup ( to create a blank backup), and then did a hard reset the next morning, with no luck.
3. In Settings>Privacy, I unchecked the "Back Up My Settings" box and discovered that a window pops up that says, "Are you sure you want to stop backing up your settings and application data AND ERASE ALL COPIES ON GOOGLE SERVERS?" When I saw that, I saw no need to do the overnight thing and did this repeatedly with hard resets - all this WITH NO LUCK.
4. As a last resort, I took my T-Bolt back to Best Buy (thinking that maybe something went wrong in the provisioning process during activation), and they reactivated my T-Bolt with a new SIM card. Once again, NO LUCK.
I don't know what the heck is going on with it. Maybe it's a rogue app that's conflicting with the T-Bolt. I don't know. What I do know is that there is no problem if I'm using Sense, but I don't like Sense and refuse to use it, so I'm stuck with that darned popup.
I thought that rooting and using a different ROM altogether would get rid of the problem. Have you tried flashing a different ROM?
We have got to find out what's causing this, or at least a good workaround.

Thanks for the reply. Puts my mind at ease knowing that I'm not the only one with the issue and also helps to know that you're experiencing this on an unrooted phone. I have not tried flashing any custom ROMs yet, so perhaps the people who have flashed a ROM can report back on whether LP is acting up on their phones.
I hope it's as simple as LP needing to be updated for TB.
Had this same problem myself... Download an app called HomeSmack from the market. It is free and allows you to switch between Sense and launcherpro easily. Have not had the issue since. Also I can easily switch back to my sense home screen and vice verse without a set-up every time.
Hope this helps

Yeah, I forgot to mention that neat little app - Homesmack. I like it. It's the only way I was able to actually get to LauncherPro from Sense. Without it, for me LauncherPro was simply a *download* that I could not access.
However, it did nothing to keep LauncherPro in memory. It does allow you to clear data from Sense and actually kill it momentarily; but once you get back into LauncherPro (or ADW), the problem simply repeats itself on my T-Bolt.

If I have time, I'm gonna root my T-Bolt this weekend. And then I will immediately flash a ROM - ANY ROM - to see if this works.
From what I'm gathering with regards to the T-Bolt... there are lots of bugs with this phone; however, not all T-Bolts share the same problems, and some are way more common than others. My T-Bolt is, for the most part, flawless; except for the launcher staying in memory. My wife has the headphone jack problem with hers... not everyone is experiencing that, but there are a batch of T-Bolts with faulty headphone jacks. Guess that's what we get for being early adopters. What the heck though, every other 4G phone that comes out will have flaws too. If people are expecting these phones to be fully *worked out*, they should wait and upgrade to 4G next year.
In the meantime, I've found that hitting the *back* key instead of the *home* key bypasses the launcher pop-up selector altogether. It can't be relied on completely because there are some apps you can't get out of without hitting the HOME key.
btw, my coworker has a tb and has this issue of the launcher pro constantly asking to be the default launcher. looks like if you hold the home button to switch between tasks, it clears the default launcher setting. try not using the hold home to multitask function to see if that stops this from happening.
I can verify this behaviour, and it 100% reproducible. It 'forgets' the default launcher with 2 actions:
- Pull down the status bar notification.
- Long press home to switch apps.
It doesn't happen otherwise. I use Wave Launcher, and it doesn't affect the default launcher.
This only started happening this weekend. I have to go through the apps I added recently.
I'm not rooted.
Using Zeam launcher.
- I prefer the 'recent apps' layout of EMUI 4.1 over 5.0. Just my personal preference. Wish there was a way to choose the style like BlackBerry does for their Android phones.
- Ever since I upgraded, I noticed the phone hasn't been running as smooth as before. Experience odd lag here and there.
- When I receive a message such as a text message, it doesn't scroll the message in the status bar anymore. I use to like reading my messages scroll in the status bar. Is this an option I'm just not seeing?
- I receive two persistent notifications on my lock screen that no matter how many times I clear, they keep coming back: BBM (Connected) and Cisco Jabber (Available.) Any suggestions on how I can remove these?
- Can I revert back to 4.1?
- Why still no double tap to wake?
- I like the pull down notification panel better now. Never really liked the split pull down.
Did you upgrade officially through the settings app/Hicare? Or was it another method?
I ask because I've yet to see anyone who's upgraded officially say they're experiencing lag, all I'm seeing is that EMUI 5 is actually smoother.

That's why I'm wondering why OP says he's experiencing lag.
Well, for the BBM connected icon, you can go into BBM settings and turn it off.
It's used to keep the app "alive" and keep receiving notifications, since BBM doesn't use standard google play services for push.
Also, if your phone runs out of ram, it will shut off apps like BBM to use that ram, but I've found with 3+ gbs of ram, it's never shut down on me.
Not sure if jabber will have the same setting, but it should. Presumably for the same reasons.
I upgraded thru settings. Well maybe i have too much going on. Going to clean up a few things and do a restart.

The lag maybe because of the remnant left behind from EMUI 4 or marshmallow. That is why I advocate factory reset after major update. We moved from MM to Nougat, it might seem much from the changes but it is significant enough to warrant change from 6 to 7.
Thanks! I'll try that

Its arrived at last , and before April too ..
Can confirm, this is Nougat (7.0) with the security patch of 1st February.
I'll try to find some big differences on the settings..
Oh, and before I forget. Welcome everyone, I just got this phone yesterday. Switching from a Zenfone 2, I hope I'll get a good battery life like almost everyone, and try to participate as most as possible.
EDIT : Which topic we should use? This one or https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/p2a42s23217030row-t3580293
Gmail is 100% crashing on my side
EDIT 2 : I received a mail and it didn't crash anymore. Weird
I'm not sure I can recommend anyone upgrading to this yet....my phone has become very laggy and stuttering in different apps....it got better after I cleared the cache and a soft reset, but I guess it will be a few bug-fixes in the near future. I know that maybe a factory reset will be the solution, but I haven't got the time at the moment...
Which ROM variant were people on to get this ota update? I'm on UK three and there is no sign of it. Could be that three have to mess with the rom first, or a staggered roll out.
Build: P2a42_S056_161130_UK
Edit, ok attached screen shows s062. Rest of world.
Is there an easy safe way to swap from three to generic ROW ROM? Don't want to root or lose warranty.
Looks like after the update quickcharging has stopped working

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70965471&postcount=8 don't know if this void warranty, its factory image firmware but they will see that you phone was on three network and now have ROW firmware, ask at you mobile network provider
Will Row have different modem etc. So potentially different performance or will it be identical minus 3 bloatware. I'm always reluctant to install ROMs not available direct from manufacturer from online because of risk of malware... Is this link a trusted source?
the Update is great, after factory reset...
All looking good here and battery only dropped 4% so far with 1 hour SOT
my phone is the 3 UK version . I flashed over to S048 then upgraded to S062 . Installed TWRP and tried a few custom ROMS but went back to stock ROM to see if i could get Nougat update and I did . Havent looked to see if minor bugs are fixed yet but youtube sync seems to be fine .
The noise cancellation system is not so aggressive in loud environment
Still can't use LED notification from third party application in Nougat...
i expected Launcher, Camera app , themes support UPGRADES
they just upgraded from 6.0.1 to 7.0 , by leaving the apps as it is , its a kind of disappointment , they might have at least included a BETTER launcher,
Hope they upgrade their APPS also to next level, mainly that CAMERA
Many apps are force closing. Any ideas to fix these issues? Thanks!
There is a second launcher hidden called VIBEUI . long press on screen and you get to select wallpaper , widgets , preference or settings from the menu at bottom of screen . press preference and that takes you to homescreen settings . press default launcher and you can choose between VIBEUI or android ( stock launcher ) . Although vibeui seems very limited

I cleared the cache, and restarted the phone, after that I had no problems anymore.
the battery drain is faster than marshmallow in 6h i loose 14% usually i loose 6-7% ...
Has anyone noticed the 'nightmode' now totally sucks? In 6.0.1 it doesn't distort the colour just significantly dims screen. In 7.0 it doesn't dim at all, just changes to a sepia tone!! Why did they change that function! YouTube audio sync appears fixed and the os feels smooth and snappy.
Few annoying quirks like once quick draw is open some items don't switch on/off with single press.
DPI change option are available in Developer options...??
Yeah, I noticed. I downloaded the "Night mode for Lenovo" app from the play store, but it's kind of lame to have to rely on an app for functionality that was baked in 6.0.1.

Yeah feel annoyed as other than this functionality, everything else is either better or simply different. Oh well... EDIT found a great work around. It remembers the brightness level in two states, with auto and without auto. I will just set the brightness to lowest with auto off and then disabling auto, will give me my 'night' mode.

I was surprised to see the update available. It took a long time to long time to download, transfer, and install, so I would definitely recommend that your watch be in its charging station for the process.
At the end of the update here are the version numbers:
Tizen 2.3.2.7
Software Version: R730TUVU3DRC1
I haven't fully explored everything, but there's a lot I like:
Quick Access (pull down) has a lot more capabilities (including accessing Settings, Brightness, Do not DIsturb, Screen Always on). Unfortunately they seemed to have removed the music player. (Guess I'll have to add that widget back to my list).
Widget improvement: Multi-contact calling looks better, there are a lot of new Health Widgets including a multi-activity one in which 4 possible activities are presented on one screen for a easy selection and start-up, recent apps widget is really handy.
New apps: I tried the Samsung PPT controller, but it didn't work. (I'm on a Mac, so that might be why).
My big big concern at this point is battery life. It seems terrible. That maybe due to playing with lots of apps and then not doing a clear all, but if it keeps up, I may have to do a soft reset and see how things are. Right now, I'm guess the battery drain rate is 2 or 3 times what I usually have.

The Samsung Health too was update. Now the aplication alone of Samsung Health for iPhone support the Gear S2, and this is incrible!
I believe this Samsung abandoned the Gear S2, but I thinked wrong.
Can anyone speak if the run4gear work in Android Phones with Gear S2 in Tizen 2.3.2.7?
Mine says no new update available :/
I did the update this morning and it was successful. I see the new shortcuts widgets and updated health and weather apps. But I don't see the Powerpoint App anywhere. Is that something you have to download?
So swipe down now doesn't go to the previous screen. Am I right in thinking to get back to watchface you now need to use a button?

Yes , I think the update removed the swipe from top to go back feature. Need to use the side button to go back over you are inside of an app.
Anyone have the previous firmware for SM-R735T? I don't need anything the new update offers, just want the "back" gesture returned.
Habit dictates a swipe and I keep getting back the settings...... Will have to relearn.
Anyone else found this a nuisance?
Valiante try Sammobile....
Wouldn't it try to auto update if you re installed the previous firmware version, or could you turn it off at the Gear app 'phone settings?
Has anyone tried to flash this to a vzw watch or is that not possible and we have to wait and hope vzw puts out an update?
Verizon has updated there page for the new update but still have not received the update ota here's a link to page https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-gear-s2-classic-update/

i'v also got the new update here in Chile...
awesome update guys.. new pulldown toogles, and a lot more... new icon and new apk's
now we have samsung app store in the gear...
good job samsung gear department..
I was really excited to get the update. After the previous update, watch does this really annoying thing where it lights up the room when its done charging at night. Some times it will stop charging, drain a little, start charging again, and then light up the room a second time.
Well that hasn't been fixed. Now my watch battery is draining incredibly fast. I had to turn off always on watch faces and it's still draining at least twice as fast as it used to. Its been off the charger for an hour and it's already down to 85%.
I really miss the swipe down to go back. I don't need quick settings on every app. I hardly ever used it as it was. Speaking of which, most of the quick settings don't even do anything for some reason.
Really disappointed.
For me with the new update, I can't anymore answer to a whatsapp message direcly on the watch ! I can only use a button to open whatsapp on my phone !
Do you have the same thing ?

I got a second one a Verizon model and bassiy have to have all extra features off. And weird stuff is happening on it
I spent 10 hours yesterday dropped to about 75% I found download mode and was gonna play around. But that was the first reboot. And upon reboot batt was at 15% I'm like what the heck so I through it on charge am gonna swap it back out with the orig AT&T model I got first.
I haven't found the setting to manually set step target with the new update. My alarms stopped working so I had to do a factory reset to get them to work. Now I can't change my step target on the watch. This is how I used to do it:
1. Open Samsung Health
2. Go to very right/bottom and select Settings
3. Select "Adjust Step Target." This selection no longer exists.
I looked in just about every possible setting in Samsung Health and the device settings. I've tapped and long pressed on every possible data point on every possible screen for a hidden menu. It's nowhere.
I reached out to Sammobile 2 times.
- The first time I received instructions for doing this on the Gear Fit 2 Pro. #fml
- The second time I was told to factory reset everything, which I had already done. #fml
It's annoying that manually setting the step target on the Samsung Health app doesn't sync with the watch. But that's another topic.

Oh wow... I have the T-Mobile version, I don't have a plan for it so I was surprised to get an update but yeah I'm down to 47% right now and I should be in the 70/80 by this time. I closed all the apps and that seemed to help a bit but when you have a few apps open it seemed like it was draining quick...
I'm gonna do a reboot once I get home hopefully that'll help. If it doesn't do the trick that's something they're gonna have to fix.

Oh wow... I have the T-Mobile version, I don't have a plan for it so I was surprised to get an update but yeah I'm down to 47% right now and I should be in the 70/80 by this time.

How do you still have warranty? Where did you buy it from?
