hello!
I recently got a s3. i'm kind of new to android. I think I have activated developer mode in android. Where ever i touch the screen a line follows, there are dY values on the top of the screen, CPU usage and its just weird. I turned on USB debugging mode and this started. How do I turn it off?
Go to sytem settings, scroll down to the bottom and you will see Developer Section with many options.
One of which will be to show screen touches etc. Just uncheck and that should solve it.
Thank you so much

Could anybody advise me if the following is possible?
I use my S3 in my car, plugged into a powered Brodit cradle.
From here, I play music (and sometimes use Co-Pilot).
The issue I have is that the screen keeps switching off (when SatNav isn't on), after a set period.
I want the screen to be permanently on, when I'm driving, so if I glance at the handset, I can see what's playing/coming next etc.
The maximum timeout I can see in the settings is 30 mins, which isn't even remotely long enough for me.
The developer option of keeping the screen awake doesn't seem to be available on the S3.
I've tried Tasker, and setting up a profile to keep the screen awake when plugged in, but it doesn't seem to work. (also the screen still dims, even before switching off).
I've also tried Widgetsoid and having a switcher set up to keep screen permanently on, but that still dims too.
Is there an app available, that would do what I'm looking for maybe?
Many thanks.
I had wondered about this too.

I hope you realize you will most likely damage you display with burn-in , one of the few example i have heard of burn-in happening is with car-navigation.
You can keep your brightness low as possible, also using a product like "display tester" run the burn-in recovery regulary.
Though it would be recommended you buy a dedicated gps-sat nav.

If that's what you want, install extended controls from market and add "screen always on"] toggle to your desktop

Hmm, thanks for the advice on buying SatNav. That won't help much with the music player, which is my main issue. (The handset stays on when using SatNav, which is obviously required when using it).
I've used all my previous phones (iPhones, HTC's etc in this way, and not suffered any burn-in. I'd be suprised if I get burn in after an hour's drive home, but I'll take the risk.).
You may tap the screen every 29 minutes actually lol.

:laugh: Not ideal, but i'm already doing that when I remember.
I think I may have found a solution.

Seems to allow me to select an app which, when active, will keep the screen alive, but when not active, will shut off like normal.
If this works, it's great.
Thanks again guys.
Try Keepscreen from the play store. I use navigation approximately 6 hours weekly previously on my S2 and now my S3, no need for a dedicated GPS.
For anyone else who stumbles across this page, and wants to keep their screen on playing music in the car, I solved my issue in the end by using Power Amp, which has a built in option to keep the screen alive.
I use PowerAMP too, so have that option already also.
However, I do still want the basic option which was present on my previous Android phone to make the screen stay alive whenever the device is operating on external power (it was in the Developer section before, but seems to have disappeared).
I don't mind if the screen dims a little, but I don't want it to turn itself off while the power cable is attached (although I could always do it myself, using the power button, if I want).
Otherwise, when running on batteries, I DO want it to timeout and turn off as usual after 30 seconds. Including when I'm playing music in PowerAMP on battery power.
Is this an ICS issue, or a Samsung vs. HTC one?

"Keepscreen" and "screen on" does the same,keeps the screen on .
It's just what u prefer
I've installed Screen On which seems to do the trick, just wondering where the Android system option went to?

Stay Awake
1. Open the settings
2. Click on 'About device'
3. Click on 'Build number' 7 times
4. Go back to settings screen and you will see 'Developer options'. From here you can access the 'Stay Awake' function again.
:laugh:

Really? The Developer Options menu is already there on mine, but there is no "stay awake while on power" option. Which version of Android are you running to see the Stay Awake feature on a Galaxy S3?
Andre
thank you

I just wanted to say that worked wonders for me, while the previously mentioned program did not. (most likely because they probably haven't been updated for my device yet.)
Thank you for that one.

Cant remember for the life of me how i did it, but I turned off my capacitive button leds. Could have been via a patch or changing some file or something, but I cant find the thread that it was in.
Anyone remember where to find it?
I'm on a stock ROM, and yes I have searched high and low already. Id rather not have to flash a stock ROM over what I already have if possible.
Settings > Display > Touch key light duration

There's no need a patch, just enable/disable it via settings, can't remember where but check display settings.
Edit: isadora was quicker.
Thanks guys, there I was over complicating things again.
Hello, my name is Dan, i am new in this forum and i hope i will not broke any rule.
i am a new owner of galaxy s3 I9300, and i noticed a strange bug with my phone\android system.
my power saving mode have 4 options: "cpu limit", "fps limit for the screen", "color limit for mail and internet", "disable vibration".
i wont to use only 2 of them the "cpu limit" and "color limit for mail and internet", because the fps limit is pretty noticeable and i love to see my screen moving smooth.
soo let's get to the problem: when i turn on the power saving mode, everything is ok, the cpu limit working, i can see it in cpu+temp v2, and the screen option working too, and ever tying move smooth because i disabled the fps limit in power saving mode.
but when i press the the close button on the right side of the phone and re enter to the home screen, the screen move like the fps limit option is on (but it's not) i need to turn off and turn on again the battery save mode to disable again the fps limit option.
important to say that if you go to battery save mode options the fps limit is always turned off.
it's really annoying me, because every time you come back to home screen from black screen(turning off the screen with the button on the right side) you need to turn off and turn on the power save mode.
if some one can help me it will be grate.
information about my phone:
stock international version
no root
*#1234# - ap:i9300xxblh3
cp:i9300xxlh1
csc:i9300xefblh2
didn't install any power saving programs, or something that will effect the system, only games and casual apps

but it looks like bug in android, you think something broken in my phone?
Can't replicate the issue on mine.. maybe the firmware you are using has it, have you tried flashing another one?

i didn't try.
Did you turn on power save mode(with fps reduce turned off, it's the second option), then pressed the power button, and the home screen was not slow? the fps looks normal when i swipe between icons?
if you try too see the animation difference between the two state, then turn off the fps limit in power saving mode, and make the test again, and say if you had the problem.
you suggest me to flash new rom or go to the shop i bought the phone and make them fix it ?
p.s. if i record a video of the problem it will help understand me batter?
Hi fellow sammy users!
Recently I was fiddling with my phone and enabled a function.. which one I cannot remember.
But what it does is Zoom the screen in every mode when I double tap the display. eg. when turning sammy on and tiping my PIN code..when I do it too fast it Zooms the entire screen.. And its getting quite irritating.
I mean when looking at a picture, the double tap zoom is nice but not in every single screen wether its in Menu of on Home screen..
I have searched n searched..went trough all the settings but cannot seem to find that option.
Plzzz help me turn it off :-\
Cheers! from Amsterdam

And also I turn on option when i touch the screen 3 times fast, it's zoom the screen. I don't remember where I turn this on, I looked, but can't find it. Sorry for bad english.

There was some problem noted with the newer firmwares of 4.3.. But check if you have ticked multiple widgets in lockscreen settings...
Then some users said changing home screen mode helped them... Try that.. If not then you can download firmware mk6 which has that option by default..

1) Did you try Settings -> My device -> Lock screen -> Lock screen widgets -> Clock or personal message / Owner information ?
If you don't see it, perhaps you istalled Xposed framework and module that causes this kind of problem...
2) I think that samsung disabled the camera feature in 4.3, and also didn't include it as a widget. Fortunately, someone developed
Xposed module that does it flawlessly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363189
(If you don't have root access and Xpoesed framework intalled- well, its about time to start... )
3) Go to Settings -> My device -> Accessibility -> Magnification festures and voilà!
(ps- don't forget to hit thaks button :angel
