My fascinate has the phantom button press problem in low 3g coverage areas, witch can be quite a problem because my whole house and surrounding area has terrible coverage.
So my question is would it be possible to just turn off the buttons all together in favor of the on screen ones on ICS roms?

it is possible. but there's things that you can do to make it better without giving up the softkeys:

My Vibrant is currently running stock KB5.
About every two days or so, I will be using the phone, and the colors on the screen will suddenly wash out, screen goes to max brightness, whatever is on the screen at the time stays up, and there will be two or three horizontal thin lines on the screen. The Menu, Home, Back, and Search keys all light up. The touchscreen and all buttons, including the power button, become unresponsive. Screen will not timeout. Only way to get out of it is to remove the battery and reinsert. If I am in the middle of a phone call, I am still able to continue speaking on the phone.....but can't hang up, adjust volume, etc.
I haven't tried any other ROMs since KB5 was released, so hard to say if another ROM would solve the issue. Don't flame me for sticking with KB5. I don't need my phone to do a lot....really just use it for calls, music player, Sirius, Google Maps/GPS, light web browsing. I'm not really opposed to running another ROM, I just found it to be a pain in the butt to be constantly switching ROMs as they are updated.
Anyone else experience this problem? Hardware or driver problem? If anyone else did have this problem, did switching to another ROM solve it for you?

No mods whatsoever. Completely stock, not rooted.
Hi,
With my minipro, I noticed that when I'm holding it with the slideout keyboard out (typing out a text for example), that the mobile signal will rapidly drop and then lose it altogether. If I then place the phone down and stop holding it, the signal will return. It seems to be a bit like the infamous iphone4 problem where finger contact is messing up the antennas.
It happens when I'm holding it in portrait mode too, though it only drops to about one or two bars rather than losing signal completely.
Anyone else get this?
I'm sooo close to caving in and replacing my GS2 for a 3, one of my very few pet peeves with the SG2 is how slow it wakes..
Seeing a lot of you guys came from GS2s I figured who best could answer my question of does the GS3 snap to life faster then your old GS2?
Also as long a you're answering what is the feature that most impressed you coming from the GS2? TIA.

Honestly, I find it does wake quicker than my i9100 did. Hopefully more will confirm as it may be subjective, but it tends to wake in under a second when hitting power button on mine anyway where my SGS2 was like 2 or 3 seconds when waking.
For me, you can really tell the higher resolution screen which was a plus for me. The LED light is incredible useful (no more waking phone to see if I have any messages). And the third was definitely LTE which is so much faster in my area than HSPA which seems to be really congested. Those three things made it worth the upgrade alone. All in all, maybe not a HUGE upgrade but a decent enough upgrade for myself

Nice... I know that screen is very nice.. I haven't seen anyone posting anything about the GS3 display staying on while your eyes are still on it, has this feature been included with the AT&T GS3???

Yes, it actually not your eyes it's detecting, but face. Love this feature, very useful when reading something or playing puzzle games.
The way it's working, it turns front camera on a few seconds before it dims the screen, if it detect a face, nothing happens, if no face near, it dims the screen for 5 seconds, then it checks again for a face, if found it, it turns up the brightness and resets screen timeout, otherwise shuts it off.
Wakeup time has a slight lag, but it's not annoying. However if you are using something like SetCPU and set profile to turn down CPU clock to lowest possible when screen is off, then it might not response to touches after wakeup for a few seconds.

Thanks blue265 and [email protected]
Great to hear.. I just found there is a patch to let the hard home button wake the phone which is very cool...
Having a hard time justyifying replacing my GS2 after only 8 months but damn this GS3 looks sweet....
Not to mention I'm seriously thinking of putting my iPad (Gen 1) on eBay along with my GS2, the new Nexus 7 tablet for $199 looks just as inviting as the GS3

Just for the record, at least AT&T version has this feature by default, no need any patches.

This is enabled by default on the Verizon version as well, no patch needed.
Awesome, it'd be getting the AT&T version... Now I see the GS3 Red pre-orders have started and will be available on the 29th, my resistance it's getting weaker by the minute
How have the ROMs been so far for the GS3 (the AT&T versions)?

So I was curious if there were any apps for controlling your phone through the proximity sensor and I stumbled across this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=novum.inceptum.proximity
The DNA is my first HTC phone, and coming from a Samsung Vibrant I can honestly say I can't stand the power button being mounted on the top. Add to that the slight angle of the phone's top edge and the stiffness of the button, and it's hard as hell for me to use the power button one-handed. Enter Proximity Actions. Now, I just wave my hand a couple times over the proxy sensor and it wakes and unlocks my phone. It can do other stuff too, but this is my main love of it. Even better, there's no need for root (for us poor folks who didn't have a chance to root before the OTA update), and it doesn't appear to drain the battery in any noticeable way. I just thought I'd recommend it since I have a feeling I'm not the only one with beef against that terrible power button. It also makes iPhone users VERY jealous... they act like you're performing voodoo or something I do think it's weird how you can see the faintest red glow from the proxy sensor while it's active... never noticed that on any other phone before.

This is cool and all but if you want to you can flash Beastmode kernel with the S2W action so you can just slide your finger across the softkeys from the back button to the multitask button and it will wake your device. Just as impressive as using the proximity sensor but without using extra juice on your phone. :good:
Edit: Didn't read that part you said about not having a pre-OTA device! My bad!!
Sense 5 DNA
Very interesting!
I forgot to warn about the occasional ads that pop up... Kinda bugging me but I still love the app enough to deal with it. It's pretty rare for them to pop up outside the app itself.
And yeah, I really wish I could have all the neat features of a custom ROM... Oh well, maybe some day!

Hi,
Has anyone experienced an abnormal temperature in the nav keys area? It is present in any moment that the screen it is turn on, even on recovery with twrp or with different roms, increasing with time. It is safe continue using it?
A little background first: a couple of months ago I had the screen replaced, from nowhere the old screen started to blink and went black with a burned smell. Before this happening never noticed this issue before.
Appreciate your help!
There are not many chips in there. It's probably something with USB power management. Is your USB port working? I mean both client and host functionality?

My USB is working normal I can acess my files and charge the device too. But I don't know what you mean about the functionality part
I mean chip providing 5V for OTG. If it works as well problem could be caused by battery, but I think that heat wouldn't be concentrated in lower part of the device
Hi g4m4r1,
I have this hot area in the middle of navy keys (home button) bottom on the screen. But my device only warm when I am playing games or when I use the screen brightness over 70%.
So, in indoor usage my screen brightness is around 30% and this area is just little warm.
Other important point is the ambience temperature, in my country is summer right now, so my device get this hot area very fast when I start up some game or increase the screen brightness.

Hi Fabio, thank you for your contribution, I did some testing and seems that brightness has a role in heating the nav keys area, by the way mine, it is not concentrated only at home button, but well distributed on the others buttons too.
At low brightness, just enough to see what it is on the screen, the heating rate is lower and increases, but at high brightness it is almost unbearable to the touch. About the weather part, that doesn´t seem to affect the area. But still I don't know if is prudent to me continue use the device.
