Please help !
My default browser screen is very dim, I do not have Browser>Menu>Colours>Change to Default in my default browser menu. And I do not have Brightness/colour settings in in the same default browser menu. I have checked all the power saving options in my settings menu and they are all disabled. The problem started after I was using the power saving option for about 6 hours. Before that everything was OK. I have tried restarting the device, clearing data and cache on the browser, nothing is working. Now I'm using Dolphin browser and the brightness is OK. I have 4.04 i9300BULG2 software version. Thanks in advance

@florio1963-Go to settings->Power saving->Background color and untick it

Thanks for the suggestion but as I mentioned before I have already done that. I'm just not finding the default browser brightness settings.

@florio1960-If you do not have this in Attachments tried to make unfortunately factory reset.Make backup of all data before
Use thanks button if I helped

Already done factory reset but thanks anyway ! I will wait for a software/firmware update.

@florio1960-That is likely to be fixed in new update on JB 4.1

[Q] Make buttons stay on with backlight

Is there a way to have the 3 hardware "buttons" stay on anytime the backlight is on? I switch between devices often and it can be a pain to remember which button is which at night.
This question comes up often. Please do a search.

This seems to allow a full range of screen brightness adjustment but doesn't seem to offer any option to keep the buttons turned on when the screen is on.

I am on streakdroid 1.9 and when i have that option checked + setting the brightness in that app, the buttons do stay on for me
Anyone else have an idea? I flashed streakdroid 1.9 just to see if the above suggestion worked. Still no go.

Quit quibbling about that... what is a forum for?
I run a Corvette forum and don't jump someone for asking the same questions, especially new members. After awhile the new members figure out how to search...
You also must press the set button.

Still no go. Used both the brightness and the timeout set buttons. Button backlight only stays on for about 5 seconds.
same here.....
At first I didn't like the light not staying on either, however after about a week, it was pretty easy to remember which the 3 buttons are and where... even in the dark. Now I don't mind at all.
Tip... touch lightly anywhere on that side and it lights up.

[Q] Change Power Button behaviour on call in CM7?

Hey guys!
In CM7, when I hit the Ace's power button, it ends the call. I don't want this, I want the good old turn-off screen, like on stock roms. I searched everywhere and I didn't found any option to change this.
Can someone point me what can I do?
Thanks!
Setting/call setting and tick on always use proximity

This is useless to me, since I almost never use my phone holding it. I use the earphones that come with it.

which cm7 are u using btw????
I don't think the setting for the power button is in Accessibility on CM, try looking around the CM menu, I think that's where it is.

Edit: after reading your post below it appears that you do have eyes
btw i had cm7 by vo-1 and i think that option was present in accessibility even in his rom( currently i have cm7 by F.A.T )

No, I don't have eyes.
There are a few different variations of CM, and the one I used to have (I think it's the one by vo-1) had that setting in the CM menu.
Even LeWa has it

cm7 power button ends call in galaxy ace
I switched over to cm7 on my galaxy ace a week ago. Its very frustrating that the power button ends the call, i always disabled the proximity sensor in stock firmware and kinda used to that.
everytime i try to turn the screen off in a call, it actually ends the call. There is no option in accessibility settings to prevent power button from ending the call (screenshots attached)
I also downloaded an app phone settings manager and that too has no effect.
please help!
Same as here. Using CM7 from vo-1. I think that I'll switch to the one provided by FAT. Can someone confirm if it has that option in Accessibility?
This is what I have. Apart being in portugese, of course.
you can download "Screen Off and Lock" from the Play Store.
this is what I did.
so when someone calls. press the home button to go to your home screen then click the shortcut you have or if not go to your app drawer and press it to turn off your screen.
I'm using go launcher so I set the application to be activated when I glide down my finger in my home screen.

Nah, too much trouble. I want it more simple, like it was on stock. And it has to be somewhere on the settings, maybe I'm just not finding it.
good luck in finding it.

I've used Grif's CM7 and in that ROM, POWER BUTTON ENDS CALL option was in Accessibility only
I don't think that I'll need this anymore. Yesterday I was using the phone when I needed to hang-up the call, and it was right in front of me, so I didn't needed to power-on screen, unlock it and then hang-up. I just hit the power-button and done!
Also, I think that I can live with the screen-delay to power-off.

Whatsapp vibration pattern
Can anyone tell me if theres an app to increase the intensity of vibration if we get a message on whatsapp? I have to keep my phone on vibration in class and always miss out on the messages as the vibration intensity is too low.
I figured how to change it for gmail and sms through an app but how can i change it for other apps like whatsapp?

Inverted colors all over :l

Hey guys, was just reading about the sudden death issue on our phone when i pulled mine out and was aghast to see that all the colors were inverted across all parts of the screen (no matter what app i used)
I did a reboot and it sprung back to normal like nothing happened. phones never been dropped.
What mightve happened?
16gb sgs3
omega rom v34 siyah kernel
Nova Launcher Prime
my emmc revision is vulnerable if that is relevant
you pressed your home button 4 times ..... try it now the same will happen
Under settings find Accessibility and under that is "Negative colors" that you probably switched on

[Q] Brightness changes in specific apps

For some reason I see the brightness changes automatically in certain apps.
The auto brightness is off and set to full.
The brightness dims in the following screens:
1. Open original browser it dims , if entering web address it is back to full. Chrome does not encounter same problem
2. Original samsung mail app (not GMAIL) dims. If writing a new mail (reply/forward) it goes back up.
The brightness in the browser settings is set to full (not auto).
I tried to find an answer on the web but could not find. It drives me crazy!!!
Must say that I have the phone for 3 months and it started only a few days ago.
the only thing I can remember is that I was on WIFI and it started to update apps but how can I know what was changed and [email protected]#$ed my brightness control?
I assume that you're using a stock (or stock-based) ROM. Try to enter settings and deactivate the power saving mode if it's enabled. Then reboot - just to be sure - and look if the issue is gone.
Can't think of anything else at the moment...
Hope it helps
In stock browser disable auto brightness setting.

I can't believe I missed it. I've tried brightness in stock browser, tried battery saving from brightness menu.
I just didn't notice the toggle of battery saving in the main menu.

Recent apps auto clears overnight

I've been facing this problem, ever since the Pie upgrade. Every morning i find that only the 4 most recent app are available in the recent apps screen. The later ones are automatically cleared up by the system i guess.
I have searched the settings a lot but couldn't find any option that turns this auto clearing off.
Anyone have a idea how to fix this?
Thanks.

I checked every settings under device care. Even turned off settings that are related to battery optimization like putting unused apps to sleep and disable unused apps etc.
Do you by chance chance the limit to 4 background processes in developer settings ?
