If your phone is stolen they can take the battery out, what does it matter about an off/reboot option? If they know enough to get it into recovery it is going to get wiped no matter what you do.
I think the s3 is big enough not to lose tho

Omg never thouht that way... how about securing recovery with password of some kind...

Ah... I have an app called KEYBROAD BACKLIGHT CONTROLLER, just search it on the market. and it works. (Cuz im using it right now )

Sorta unrelated, but why?
If you're doing it because you don't want to waste the battery, I'll just let you know that LED lights don't affect too much to the battery.
If you're doing it because it's annoying, then be my guest!
I am using adjbrightness app from market for this..root needed.

As the title says, every time I go into Google wallet it says that I need to not NFC on so I go into the settings and attempt to but every time I press it, it checks and then unchecks every time. I AM rooted. But I don't see how that could affect it. Any ideas?

No Google Wallet with root?

Not sure if that might help, but it may steer you in the right direction

Yeah I did see that. But I'm not sure how it would affect my NFC. Thanks for the link though. I didn't flash a rom or factory reset anything.

Did you change batteries? If you did that's why.. the nfc chip is built into the battery

Is it really? I don't see how it's just not turning on.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium.
Yea.... so if you change batteries it won't turn on
Sent from my SPH-L710
I didn't switch batteries though. I tried to flash back to my stock rom from when I first rooted but it's not working.

did u set up google wallet prior to going back to factory?
has nfc worked at all for u like in the past maybe when it was stock?
I set it up, rooted and tried it and it won't work now. Went back to factory image and I can't even access wallet because I can't get nfc to turn on at all. I'm gonna try to unroot and then try it and see
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Lol now after trying to unroot Google wallet says it's not compatible with my country. WTF.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
theres posts referring to this problem. Apparently you're supposed to clear the settings within google wallet before rooting. Google wallet may be permanently bricked on your device
I dont see how google wallet messed my nfc completely up

I heard the metal replacement backs fück with nfc
Do you have one?

I'm new to xda and I ran into a screen problem I've never seen before. I 'm stuck in download mode, but it's Odin mode too, sorta like Odin Download Mode. I have picture. Please I did this to myself trying to root this thing and this happened...

Sorry for late upload here' the picture.
Umm did you turn on the USB debugger option and actually root it before trying to install something through Odin?
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
Just hold the power button and it should reboot...

Maybe I did leave it on, attempting to root this thing I don't know maybe. If I did could that be it? And if not could that be as well?
unfortunately...

Yes I have rebooted only for this image to appear now (see pic). If anyone in this community can explain what this even means I would be forever thankful.
foolish mistake
Yes it turns out I did not have debug mode on when attempting to root with superclick. So now what do I do? see 2nd pic to see what I mean.

Critical you read the first two posts .
That's actually a feature. it's called S-wake. It scans your eyes and keeps the screen on while you're looking at it and turns it off when you stop looking at the screen. At least that's how it's meant to work but fails sometimes if ambient light is low, or for some reason if it doesn't detect your eyes.

Hello. I have a problem with my phone. Whenever i get a call the screen doesn't turn on and I have to press the home button to turn the screen on and be able to answer or reject. It vibrates and rings but the screen doesn't turn on :/
Any help would be appreciated.
