You could try this I don't know if it works but turn it of then hold the power button and volume up at the same time when the Samsung logo appears let the power button go and hold the volume up until the thing with like a bin and an android coming out (I don't remember the picture) use volume up and down to scroll and home button to select scroll to where it says something like wipe data (not cache) and press the home button and it should do a reset

Hold the back button and press your home key.

Did you hold back then press the home key and not just pressing them at the same time?

In the new Froyo builds that started to pop up if you LP the back button it is supposed to launch a screenshot app.
I don't think it works on our Vibrants though.
I did it earlier by accident but I can't redo it.

[Q] Clear all recent apps in ICS

Is there a mod that enables clear all? Thanks.
This would be really useful!

You can clear recent app on a phone with button by long pressing the home and swipe on an app; with a phone with software button like Galaxy nexus you can use the multitasking button and swipe the app you want to close.http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

I know that you swipe to clear one app, but I'm after a mod that clears all of them

Annoying bug

Stock jellybean rom with siyah kernel.
So when the sreen goes dark, after not touching it for a short time I press the home button to wake it back up. as soon as I do that the screen flashes the page/app I was on and then returns to home. So I have to re enter the app/webpage and this is pissing the living s*** out of me! Any fix? Not happened on ANY other phone.

It is because you are pressing the home button, and the phone has not made it the lock screen yet. Thus when you 'wake' the phone it simply thinks you are pressing the home button, and returning you to the home screen.
Use the power button to turn the screen back on, it will only turn the screen on and not return you to the home page

On my old s1 I could press the home button no prob when the screen went dark. I could use the power button but would be uncomfortable for me. I have smart stay on and that has kinda fixed the probelm but only in day light or a light room. In a lowly lit area it sux

Buddy locked himself out, how do I reset a gen8?

Make sure the device is switched off. Hold down the “volume down” button and switch on your archos. Keep "volume down" button pressed until you see the white recovery menu.
Use Volume Up and Down buttons to move in the menu, Power button to make a selection. Choose "Format system" then "Reset Android"
Hope it helps.
Thanks, I figured that's how you get into recovery.

PS: Does anybody know how to stop s3 showing these tips ?
If you have s-voice set to open on double tap home button, when you press home once, s-voice waits for second press. Once it times out, only then do other home button functions occur.
So if your home button lags, stop s-voice being launched from home

Within s-voice? Or within language and input? I can't remember. You could Google it or search xda for it. I dont have touchwiz rom any more

You can try ROMs which is based on Samsung jelly bean update, and custom kernels which has many modifications

Double tap the home button, then when you get into S Voice, hit the menu button, and look for the "Double tap home to open".
Watch how much faster your phone is afterwards.

open s-voice> menu> settings> uncheck open via home key and all others!:good:
Try to disable "Window animation scale" "Transition animation scale" and "Animator duration scale"
to disable jsut go to setting>developer options (enable it first if it's disabled) then you will find "Window animation scale" "Transition animation scale" "Animator duration scale" click on each of them and choose "Animation off". You can also try to limit your background process on developer options, and you will see better performance!
