Test mode - Samsung Gear S3

Found test mode on the S3, didn't see it posted.
Go to the icons, go to phone
select keypad
Enter *#0*#
Wait a few seconds and it goes into test mode.
Just hold the home button a few seconds for it to reboot.
DON'T ask how I found it.

You mean you can now use Codes like this?
Code:
*#6472#
Best Regards

I just stumbled across it in this

share, please

Double click on the upper button means "back" and also leaves test mode without reboot

One touch _ power off

POWER OFF​
Only touch that you have turned off the screen. Small and useful software for two versions : Blue & Red Power icon.​
Little confusing. Is this for turning off device or screen?
screen, I think...
yep it is working fine! that was the only thing i had missing on my homepage.
Many thanks for the cab
I installed the red button cab and cannot find any app anywhere.
It ain´t in the start/programs.
Also did a softreset.
How to add?

well if you are adding a shortcut in your homepage...clickon programs and then should be there under power off
Hi,
screen off can be done by pressing one key
But real power off for the hole device would be an improvement because now you need to press long and then choose shut down
any plans to offer that funcionality to the good looking red button
Cheers

[Q] volume button wake up?

Hi,
I have seen this tweak/app to wake phone by using volume button mentioned a few times but no instructions on how set it. Any information that can be shared on how to do this?
Thanks,
Chris
that would be a nice option to have. sometimes the phone feels "too tall" to reach the power button and pressing the side button while it lays on a table is much easier too.
Also looking for this mod - the Sense ROM forum mentions that it is something to do with android.policy.jar?
Leedroid ROM has this.
I know this is a late reply but I found that the tap tap app works well.
I combined it with no lock, so i can just wave my hand and it'll go right to home screen, bypassing the need to use power button, moving the htc ring and pattern lock.

I would highly recommend avoiding this app. I installed, played with for a few minutes then put in my pocket for the drive home from work. When I got home, my phone was locked up, too hot to hold and upon reboot, I had no data connection. Literally nothing I tried returned my data until I did a full wipe and nandroid restore losing a week of data. The app didn't even work reliably in the first place...maybe 1/3 times would it unlock as promised.

Ok, I'll experiment it later with my jeans. Do you remember the settings for your sensor? (sensitivity, how long will sensor be on). Can you suggest an alternative to wake up the phone w/o using power button?
Some say no lock can wake phones via volume key but that doesn't work on my one s.
Brief instructions
It's quite easy actually. Here is a very brief overview.
1. Unlock the bootloader
2. Install a recovery
3. Install something like SuperSu
4. In /system/usr/keylayout/keypad_8960.kl, replace the "key 114 .... " line with "key 114 POWER WAKE". Voila! Now it works, but not when it goes to deep sleep to fix that
5. do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038726.
If you need a more detailed answer or encounter some difficulties, don't hesitate to ask.

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Indeed, a button won't fulfil 2 purposes at the same time. What I do when I want to lower the volume is press the volume_up button. At this point a scroll bar appears on the screen. I then lower the volume by sliding the bar

Before the screenshots show up on your phone you have to view the screenshot on your watch using the Gallery app.
Once the desired screenshot is full screen, click on the three dots to the right and choose "Send to phone"
Once it copies to your phone you can view the screenshots on your phone where they should be in a folder called "Gear"
On my Galaxy S7 it appeared in internal storage>pictures>gear
Can i get help with this also please? My Gear S3 Frontier (UK) swipe left to right (with home button selected) does not perform a screen shot. A single press brings up my applications menu, double tap brings up the function i selected in options (find my phone in my case) i hold the bottom right (home) button long enough to swipe left to right for a screenshot and it brings up 'Gear Options' every time giving me only 2 options, power off and touch sensitivity (9 times out of 10 meaning the power off is selected). Is it possible another setting has been changed for this function not to work?
how eliminate three white dots
Anyone know how to perform a screenshot that does NOT include the three vertical white dots on the right hand side of the pictures in Gallery?

HTC 10 split screen options

First, please forgive me if there's a sub thread for this phone. I didn't find it, and the help saying use the device forum went back to the menu where I already didn't find it. ?
My issue is that my HTC 10 suddenly decided that every press of the overview button will now activate split screen, not just long press. I remember when I first turned this function on there was an option did I want it to activate split screen on normal press or long press, but now I've spent two days on Google and cannot find this option! I can't seem to turn the function on or off as the help pages refer to menus I do not have. (Device and Multi window - they aren't there!!) and other help only tells me that long press should be working. I've had no updates since it was last working normally.
Please, anyone know where this option is hidden?
UK SIM free
not rooted
Android 7.0
Software version 2.41.401.3

Go to your application manager and find the app(s) that control split screen and clear data and wipe cache.

Any ideas what I'm looking for? I had a scroll through and nothing jumped out at me to be the service the controls this feature. Then again, they have names that aren't particularly intuitive.
Update - Looks like I found it, thanks. I cleared out system UI and it's normal again. Still odd that the option vanished, it was definitely an easy menu.

Screen Lock widget for Samsung Galaxy S10+ available?

Great day ahead my friends.
I am a new Samsung Galaxy S10+ user. I didn't like to press power key everytime to lock the screen. I prefer Screen Lock either widget or app.
I found some apps in the Google play store ,some of them are not compatible with Android Pie. Those working are little bit uncomfortable for me. Once I locked the screen with those app, I can't use either Face ID or fingerprint to unlock the screen. Only PIN works after that. I was unhappy with that.
I loved this inbuilt widget from Honor 8x.
I hope you guys can help me out.
Thank you very much friends
If you use the Samsung Launcher you can double-tap on the screen to turn off the screen. Can one adjust in the settings. Under Home I believe.

Well I don't know if you have problems with power button being so high but for me it was so I mapped Bixby button to execute "screen off" command to Bixby! only problem (not for me since I'm always with 4g or wifi) is that you need net to work.

You can do that to turn it on, but not off.

Yeah, thanks for sharing that possible way to.
But, as you mentioned, it's not a perfect way
Try One hand operation + from Samsung. You can setup swipe from edges with different directions to turn screen off
you can go with softkey edge from samsung store and you have a lock screen button or go for nicelock https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/themes/nicelock-module-download-links-module-t3923844/

Amazing
It was a great help
Using the Samsung GoodLock app I just added it and a notification drop-down button as well. In GoodLock, it's called NavStar.
