Hi Guys,
Been using MIUI for many years since my 1st smartphone and now with my Galaxy S7 its a brand new and diferent world, therefore I need you help if possible.
At this stage my doubts are:
1. Some apps don't have the 3 dots to cal the respective options menus and I always access this menu with the capacitive keys. Where is the Menu key or how can I activate it?
2. Is there a way to keep a regular backup of the calls history, text messages, etc to some samsung cloud so that if I flash a rom I can restore all the data?
In Miui there is the Miaccount and when I do a factory reset I can just login in the account and it will automatically download all this data. Its a great feature!
3. Where is the Power Toogles Widget?
4. Does Samsung as some kind of PC Manager to connect to the phone?
I think its Kies right, but this is for older phone....
5. is it possible to share (download gpx file or share in social networks) the activities from S Health app?
6. When I send a text message I'm getting notified that the other poerson received the message with the my text message received ringtone.... How do I change this?
7. Is there an option to close an app by Long-press the back capacitive key?
8. How can I choose the bluetooth download folder to be in the external SD?
9. No FM radio?
10. What app can I use to backup my apps+data without root?
11. Where is th QR Code scanner?
Thank you in adavnce

1. You could use an app like 'Button Mapper' to redefine the keys. 'Xposed Additions' does more, but requires root access and the XPosed framework.
2. I use Titanium Backup (needs root) and save apps and data to the external SD card. Without root, you could try Helium Backup. It works for some phones sometimes. You could also backup your apps + data to the Google cloud.
4. I think that 'My Phone Explorer' is an excellent PC interface / synchronization client for just about any Android phone.
7. Yes. I agree; this *is* needed. See my reply to question 1. Since I get in and out of my phone quickly many times per day, I go even further. When I long-press the Back key, it runs a Tasker script that simulates pressing Home twice (to close the foreground app and return to the Home screen), brings up the Recent Apps screen, simulates a click to 'Close All' (to keep unused apps from draining the battery or using data), and then simulates the power button to turn off the screen.
10. See my reply to question 2.

Button mapper seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. Just did a quick test on several apps and either the required options are paid or need root ehehhe
Titanium Backup is the app I always used. I have the paid version but for now without root I have to let it go.
I'm going to try MyPhoneExplorer as the SmartSwitch from Samsung is really really poor. This don't even look like an official app to do what is meant to do....
regarding point 7, well I think a Button Mapper app is also the solution
No call recording option in this phone?

I just got my fuze and have a few questions:
1) What is the easiest way to get push gmail on here? Is it through IMAP idle?
2) How can I adjust the memory usage so that most of my storage memory is used for current program memory (RAM) as I have a 4gb MicroSD card in there?
3) I've been able to disable the PTT button through the registry, but is there any known way to make it a dedicated button for camera, connection settings, etc?
4) How can I change it so that the whole d-pad and 4 buttons under the screen light up via sensor or at least don't shut off as fast?
5) Is there a way to disable the annoying keyboard that comes up on screen when in landscape mode (e.g. like when in a text input box in a browser window)
6) Is there a way to change the items that are listed under the internet touchflo tab?
7) How can I change the location of the images that are pulled in the photo/videos tab for the flip thru? Like I have customized folders on my memory card that I want it to see for the images.
8) What is the easiest way to autofill a recipient for text messages? I seem to be getting inconsistencies when I hit either enter, down, d-pad down, or d-pad center. Sometimes it autofills it, sometimes it goes to the message entry box and other times it pulls up the phonebook.
9) I did that customize your battery icons *.cab by someone on here and it mad it so that I always have a plugged in icon up top instead of a battery or a percentage. I can't find the *.dll to remove... Any tips?
Thanks, everyone!
Wow, that's a lot of questions that search can answer for you.

The internal storage should be used for installing all applications on. The Memory expantion card should only be used to store cab's, music, pictures, video's etc. It should not be used to run any applications from, it's just too slow.

Someone developed some push settings that can be installed as a service on the device but you have to start the background service every time you restart the phone.
Also - Is it normal that when an alarm or notification (like with the calendar) goes off, there is no pop up notification? I have to actually click the little alarm icon... Kind of annoying?
Not sure on the alarm thing I hate WM alarm I use SPB Clock its got a great alarm on it. Let me know if your "interested" in it.
Can you give me a link on where I can find this push service? I hardly ever rest my phone so thats fine with me

I think you should start by installing advanced configuration tool by Schaps, that will allow you to do amny of the things you listed, and allows remapping of keys, and has a touchflo configuration tool. It won't solve all your problems but it's a start.
As for gmail, i'd check out a beta software available from a company called Seven who make xpressmail for AT&T. Their beta software supports AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, & work email systems for push features. IT's pretty nice. Make sure you get their beta software. I'm using it on my tilt right now, i'll be checking it on my Fuze this afternoon when i get to the store to buy one.
locat the folder its in copy it go to the program files folder and paste a shortcut Rename it if you want. Then add it like you would any other one in the list.
I will PM you when I get home.

The shortcut didnt work. I created it in the my device -> programs folder (which had all subfolders in it) but it doesnt show in the touchflo programs launcher or the menu settings where i can add stuff to the programs menu? Also I have an MP3 in the windows folder but it won't show up in the ringtone settings. Any advice?
NOTE: This is a list of bugs for STOCK (NON-MODDED) ICS 4.0.3 & 4.0.4 (LC4, LD2, and LE2) (Most bugs from the initial LC4 leak fixed after the two major version leak updates) from DesignGears.
If you have flashed to ANY OTHER CUSTOM ICS 4.0 ROM, PLEASE WRITE IN THE DEVELOPERS' / ROM thread.
1 - 03/26/2012: When selecting "Contacts to Display" and selecting CUSTOMIZE LIST > Selecting ONLY Google Contacts (EXCLUDE G+).
Then you start typing someone's name, it returns contacts in SIM card and on Google contacts.
2 - 03/26/2012: Autocorrect on the included "Android Keyboard" doesn't work by pressing spacebar.....like it had been in previous 2.3.6. Even when changing setting to VERY AGGRESSIVE. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
3 - 03/26/2012 [CONFIRMED] When deleting a message thread, the phone will freeze and turn into a blank screen (except notification bar) then the messaging app will close. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
4 - 03/26/2012: [CONFIRMED] When using the "PHONE" icon to bring up dialer, contacts tab is no longer associated in it.
5 - 03/27/2012: 50/50 Users report more sensitivity on the touch screen, some report lack of sensitivity of touch.
6 - 03/27/2012: HOW TO take screen shot: Press AND HOLD ... VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON for at LEAST 1-2 SECONDS. You will then be prompted to view the screenshot in notification bar / indicator.
METHOD #2 of taking screenshots: Press and HOLD Power button + HOME key.
7 - 03/29/2012: Some users report when tapping "RESTART" or "SHUTDOWN" on STOCK Power-button option, the phone will freeze. Either you have it or you don't. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
7 - 04/02/2012: Users report echoing or unable to hear other party on an INCOMING call. This is a "hit or miss" bug.
8 - 04/02/2012: [CONFIRMED]Bluetooth stack in the new kernel has resolved a LOT of vehicle-to-android phone issue (static, drops, functions, etc.).
10 - 04/04/2012: [CONFIRMED BIG ISSUE] When creating a new contact in phone and setting it to GOOGLE CONTACTs; forcing a sync or auto-sync option will NOT push the contact to google servers for backup purposes. However, deleting or creating a contact while logged in on a full web browser will push it back to the phone via sync. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
11 - 04/09/2012: [CONFIRMED] There are known issues with stock email app. Syncing unread/read e-mails will not push back to exchange server email client. Also emails me not completely send and stays "stuck" in outgoing box.
FIX (Thanks dixit):
This google thread shows the official issue and show that it was fixed officially in 4.0.4.
https://code.google.com/p/android/is...etail?id=23534
If you scroll down to post 51 you will see there is a link where someone put the two 4.0.4 APKs from a Spring Nexus S 4G which fixes this issue as explained above. So just go to that link, download the two Email/Exchange APKs, put them in System/App, correct permissions, remove your two Samsung Native Email APKs, and that will fix the issue of emails being stuck in the outbox.
Here is the direct link to those two APKs off Post 51
http://files.devphone.org/404mail/
11 - 04/15/2012: [CONFIRMED] When adjusting ringtone level in SETTINGS > SOUNDS, the ringtone level will not lower or raise; it stays at one level.
FIX: Adjust via volume rocker while in any other system screen (Home, MMS, etc) BUT NOT IN-APP. *Thanks petrochemicals!*
Here's what I found and posted in another thread...
So far so good except a few things:
1) I hate the fact that "contacts" are no longer visible in the dialer. Now I need another icon that I rarely use. The only option appears to hit menu and select contacts from there.
2) The "power off" and "restart" options in the extended power menu (hold power button down) seem to lock up and freeze whenever I try to use one of these thus requiring a battery pull. Anyone else experiencing this?
3) Can't use built in hotspot tethering anymore. This is something that I use with my tablet often. Any solutions other than a 3rd party app? If not, what app is everyone using for hotspot tethering?
4) Why in the world don't the signal bars turn green once fully connected? It's driving me crazy because normally that means its not connected to your Google account. This is the first time I've seen this (of MANY different Android phones). - This appears to be an ATT thing as other carriers and phones change the signal bars color when its connected to your google account (as it always should be).
Grey bars, works for for me; turning green = same color as battery = confusion to some it is acting as a double icon of ur battery? lol
I don't get a freeze in the menu.... I'm assuming you're talking about the built-in menu not a modded one? I just use the one that came with the ICS.
Hotspot tethering, you'll have to wait for a dev to mod that unless you are wanting an app for it.
I can tell you that I got my portable hotspot to work. It gave me numerous error messages though when I first went to set it up and the screen freezes when I turn it on. I went back to home and back to the hotspot settings and the toggle remained on. I changed the default password to all 9s bc I was getting an invalid password error. After that, I connected my old iPhone to the Skyrocket wi-fi.
I used to use Barnicle Wi-fi tether but it doesn't work now. Is there a difference between the stock portable wi-fi hotspot program on the phone and Barnicle? Im just curious if Barnicle masked the fact that the user was tethering.

Yes, I'm referring to the built in power menu. I fixed permissions in CWM and still no go. Any ideas???
I find the keyboard to be a bit slow on the responsive side. Anyone else running into that or am I just trying to type too fast?
Perform a Factory data / reset?
I find the new keyboard fairly responsive vs the old one; I just thought i typed too fast for the old one lol. This one actually keeps up and Swype keyboard tapping works more fluent as well.
good job guys, keep up the troubleshooting so hopefully some devs will cook up a nice rom

I'll give that a spin. I did that once already to fix my home button problem, so I'll try and do another. But yea I use to use the ICS keyboard from the market on GB, and that was quick enough for me.
stuff I notice so far
I did notice the contact tab missing from dialer. The menu selected one doesn't allow right and left swipe for call/text. In the contacts app, the swipe works ok.
the only real problem for me, thus far, is when deleting SMS threads; messaging force closes.
Anyone else have that?
BTW thanks for starting this thread, wasn't sure where to post bugs - I think this may be usefull to keep them all in one spot.
Getting some odd behavior from Rom Mngr
Aside from other errors I got, when I ask ROM Mngr. to perform a task, I get a bunch of errors like "Messaging has failed," "Internet has failed," "com.google.xx" has failed. But then it goes and performs the request.
However! Whereas on 2.3.6 UCLA3, when requesting a backup via ROM Mngr., it would go straight to the backup whereas now, it goes into CWM and I still have to select Backup from the option there.
Deleting threads freezes my messaging also.

Nvm. Damn - I hate bug posts. They come, they go.
The only thing I've noticed so far is I don't seem to get LTE in my house anymore. Boo...
I'm having issues with audio files. I can't use either Google Play Music, Samsung Music Player or Doubletwist to play audio. It creates duplicates which I believe corrupt the file itself.

I get it too, but there is no need for a battery pull if it freezes during a restart.
Press and hold the power button and the phone will restart after a few seconds.
It's a leak, not an official release, so I fully expected bugs.
Face unlock crashes a lot for me.
It fails o power on the camera and then the keypad doesn't respond for PIN input.
Requires a reboot.

Run factory data reset, then fix permissions and then reboot. Face unlock works perfect and pin input works.

I'm quickly building up a huge number of emails and messages that I've dealt with on my phone but then have to manually delete from the watch. I appreciate that one can clear all data from each notification type, using Smart Connect on the phone, but I'd love to find an app or a command that would automatically clear all data (messages, notifications, etc), say every 24 hours or so. Or failing that, at least something which would allow a quick, more elegant way of manually clearing the watch. Can anybody recommend anything? Many thanks.
You could use the Smartwatch2 app on the smartphone, enter the menu of each SW2 installed app and tap Clear all events, Clear history or Clear log, etc.
It's not really comfortable but at last you don't have to perform this operation directly on the SW2.

Thanks. Yeah, that's what I'm doing at the moment, through Smart Connect on the phone. But I just counted; in order to clear email, messaging and Facebook requires 17 commands. It really does surprise me that a more elegant system is not built into the watch. Surely everyone who owns the watch wants to be able to clear away (or to have cleared away) messages as they're finished with. Most odd.
You go into the notification app in your smartwatch then push the menu button and after the option to clear all the notifications (the open letter).

What exactly do you mean by "the notification app"? If you mean the little orange circle that indicates new notifications; those disappear anyway as soon as they've been looked at. But the notifications still remain on the watch, so one still has two go into each app in turn (email, text messages, Facebook, etc) and clear them. However, pressing the open letter does nothing at all. The notifications remain. The only way I can find of deleting anything with the watch is message-by-message, individually, including confirmation step. Or, as in my first post in this thread, data can be deleted using the phone through the "Smart Connect" app.
I didn't understand that you wanted to clear all the datas (and not the notifications) in the watch's apps.
In that case, yes you must do on the phone through the smart connect app.

Thanks. I guess it's the term "notifications" that's confusing. What I want to clear, regularly, preferably automatically, are my email messages, text messages, and Facebook messages, so that those apps are empty. What I'm hoping to find is an app or a macro command that will either clear those messages automatically, or will allow me to do so in one go, rather than - as is the case at the moment - app by app through Smart Connect.

HI there. Any idea why can not clear the notifications...noway?! So now I've to reset it each time, but sometimes this is also not possible!
Any help is welcome.

NOTE FOR MODERATORS: I wasn't quite sure about where to post this thread. :angel:
If you use Viber, this might be very helpful for you!
Recently, I've discovered a little "trick" to bypass the Share Online Status.
If you use Viber, you might know that it can only be changed once every 24 hours. By doing a simple trick, it resets the setting.
In order to access the Share Online Status setting, follow the steps below:
1. Open Viber
2. Click on the Menu icon on the bottom right hand side.
3. Click on Settings
4. Click on Privacy
Now at the top, it should have a setting named 'Share Online Status', its enabled by default (users can see your online status). Once you untick the box, it will disable the setting and it will not allow you to change it back until the next day (24HR period)
This is how you can get away with this :
1. Close Viber
2. Go to Settings (on Android OS)
3. Go to Application Manager (or Apps in different Roms)
4. Scroll down to Viber and click on it
5. Wait until the Clear Data button enables (usually takes few seconds to enable)
6. Press on Clear Data button
***THIS WILL DELETE ALL YOUR CONVERSATIONS ON VIBER, THEREFORE DO NOT BLAME ME***
NOTE: It will also remove login data from the Viber application, so you will have to re-login (setup) on Viber application.
7. Press on OK to confirm (Clear Data)
8. Now open up Viber, it will ask you Continue and enter your mobile number to setup the account
9. Once you setup the account, go to Settings>Privacy
10. And now you can see that the Share Online Status setting is re enabled
Hope this helps :fingers-crossed:
You can also follow my video tutorial : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2cHbrMLexU
Or you could change the system date, change the online status preference and set the date back. That way you don't lose anything and you're not logged out. Just tried it and it seems to work well.

Hey everyone!
Some of you, like me, loved to use the smart stay feature of Samsung, they disables the dimming of the screen while you are looking at it.
Unfortunately, on the latest builds (CM11 like CM12), this app is broken. What happens is that, when an app is using the camera and another tries to access it, there is a conflict. For example, you are using the camera. If smart stay + tries to see if you are still there, it tries to access the camera which is already in use. And so, the camera app doesn't know what to do and crashes ^^
A way to repair this is to modify directly the app to pause the search when the camera is already in use, but we can't do that, the only one who can is the app dev ^^ Another way is to refuse access to the camera when using the camera app, but not sure how we can do that... The way I did is bypassing this error by killing smart stay + when I use a specific app like the camera
Apps
To do this, you need to install :
Tasker : lets you automate stuff depending of the state of the phone, an app, or even the sensors,
Secure Settings : lets you change the phone settings directly from Tasker,
TaskKill : lets Tasker kill apps using several different methods.
Watch out! Make sure you have the latest version of each, or else bugs may appear!
Lets Start!
So, start by installing as those apps, and install the latest version of Smart Stay + (if you are on CM12, you can't download it from Play Store cause it's incompatible, so you need to use the apk from the Internet). Don't launch Smart Stay +, and don't enable its setting in the accessibility menu on the phone!
First off, we need to give root rights to Secure Settings. Launch the app, then go to the System+ tab and enable it. It will then ask for root rights, accept and we are good to go on.
Kill Switch
Now, launch Tasker and go on the profile tab (if you want to follow everything in english in the app, press the 3 dots in the upper right corner, then Preferences, go all the way down in the UI tab, then change the language). Create a new context using the + icon on the bottom of the app, then chose Application. A list of all your apps will be shown, so you need to chose which app will kill the other one. Here, I want the Camera app to be the "killer", so I chose the apps using the camera (I have Camera Next as well as the stock camera, so I chose both) :

To go back, do not press the X button on the upper right corner! It will erase your config Press the button on the upper left corner to go back to the profiles. The app will show you then a menu where you can enter a new task. Chose New Task and name it "Kill". A new screen will be shown :

Click +, then go into Plugin, and you will see all the plugins. Click on TaskKill, then press on the Pen logo on the upper right corner to config the plugin. Here, you can choose the method to use to kill, and the app. You need to use the Extrem method, or else Smart Stay will keep rebooting... Choose Smart Stay in the list, then click apply. Set the Timeout to 0, then save it by clicking on the upper left corner, and return to the profiles list.
Here is what we should see :

Starting the App
We now need to start smart stay after we finished using the camera, and it's a bit tricky. You can either start the app using Tasker, but it will ask for you to enable the accessibility option of Smart Stay (happens every time), and that is really a bummer... That made me look if we can't directly turn on that setting from Tasker, so that we don't need to open the settings, close the app, etc... And it is! We can change that settings from Tasker using a plugin! Buuuut, the catch is that we need root...
Soooo to enable this setting, you need to long press on the action we just did named "Kill", and add an Exist Task. Next, do a new task named "Start". After, choose the plugin Secure Settings, then press on the Pen logo on the upper right corner to config the plugin. Here, you can choose which action you want. Go to System+ Actions, then press Accessibility Services. A new menu will appear, where you can see the different apps that has an Accessibility Setting. Choose Smartstay+, and make sure the button underneath it is Disabled (so that it disables that setting). Save it, then go back to the profiles list using the button on the upper left corner.
Here is what you should see :

Testing
Tada! Done! You can now launch the camera app without having it bug! To test it out, you can go on each action, like "kill" and press the play button on bottom of the screen. You will see that the notification is closed. Go into the "start" action and press play, you will that icon return! Go try it out using the camera app!
Misc / Other Method
You may ask why I didn't use the Secure Settings in the first place, and the reason is that it doesn't work well. The app isn't totally killed, it's just paused, so we don't know if it still has access to the camera, or if it is draining battery... Using TaskKill ensure us that it isn't running in the background, and so not draining any battery.
For Android L users, you may know that with Smart Lock, you can unlock the phone with your face. To do so, Android uses the stock camera app. This means that you won't have any bugs at all using that unlocking method with Smart Stay, thanks to our bypass
Another method that was pointed out by triviums (1+1 forums) is to use Smart Stay EX Pro. It has an option to disable scanning when certain apps are launched. But, after testing this out, it doesn't work as well as my method. There is a missing option in that app which is Smart Timeout. Without this feature, it still scans if the user is there, even though he is typing something or scrolling a page. Smart Stay + has this feature for free )
If this could be implemented (cause on the photos on Google Play, the feature is there for PRO users, but after installing you don't see it...), then it may be better (no need to kill and restart app, which takes some battery). If this doesn't work, then the battery you gain from not killing the app is lost in the use of the camera when it isn't necessary...
