Compete action using xxx application - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Prior to jelly bean it was always really easy to open a link using a certain application as you only needed to press on the icon and it would default to just once. Atm it's annoying when you want to have the choice of using different apps for different occasions but have to press the app and the just once button which is one extra click for no apparent reason. Is the a way to revert this back to the how it used to work in ics?
Please, that change in 4.2 to double tap for just once is still worse off than the old single tap method.

Thanks for sharing. I guess I'll try to work with that even though using a separate app is really inelegant. (Configuring that app first plus the extra ram or uses in the background)

[Q] profiles constantly changing

Hey guys, I am currently running a gs2 with cm9 rom, and the cm9 kernel, however if I have my phone on any of the profiles I.e silent vibrate or loud etc, I constantly switches between the profiles automatically, roughly every ten seconds .
Things I have done:
Flashed a newer nightly
Crashed system UI and restarted it.
Done all the wipes when flashing roms.
Changed between themes and icon packs.
Any other options for me guys? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advanced guys

Try to set Profile to default (hold Power key) and then switch sound mode.
Thanks for quick response, just checked that and it is on default, I wish I could record a video of the screen to show you what's happening

Strange thing.
Try to:
1. flash RC (http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/3457/cm-9.0.0-RC1-galaxys2.zip)
2. make Nandroid backup, format system, flash CM9 again
3. change kernel
4. make logcat (aLogcat form GPlay or through adb on PC)
I have no more ideas right now.
OK thanks mate will do that when I have a PC available, thanks for the help well give feedback later

Is anyone else having keyboard issues after the update?

Hello everyone! I upgraded to ICS today, and noticed that the notification to chose a keyboard keeps popping up. It also says that Google Voice is chosen when I've disabled it. Can anyone help me with this? I really appreciate it!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Hi,
After the ics update you will have to press the imput method to change the keyboards you want to use. That's normal ;-)
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Thank you for replying! I chose the Android keyboard, and the prompt to choose a keyboard still pops up. I tried restarting and rebooting my phone and nothing is making this notification go away. As you can see in the pic I attached, the only option it will check off when I touch it is Google Voice. It's making me nuts.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
It's always there.
So the notification to choose a keyboard will always pop up when I go to type?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
We all have that same screen with google voice so don't drive yourself to nuts over that. Its the default keyboard that needs to be set which it looks like you did so I'm not sure why it keeps prompting you to choose.
Edit: I notice you have google voice unchecked. Recheck it, set default keyboard to whatever you want and report back
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Okay, I did what you suggested and have included screen caps. For some reason the notification to choose the keyboard isn't going away. I can ignore it if it's not a fixable problem, I'm just a little OCD about my notifications being cleared.

Reflash the ROM bud
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Can you please tell me how to do that?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
It will always be up there with a keyboard open.
Cm9 has an option to turn off that notification, otherwise it'll be there.
If you wanna reflash...Just do exactly what you did in the first place...
I don't think he flashed a ROM before if he got the ota . There is a tutorial stickied in the general page as to going about flashing and rooting

How to get the original settings without tabs

Forgive me if this was already posted but I was playing around in the task manager and went to default tab and cleared the setting. After you do that go to your notification drop down and select setting and it will ask which settings program you want to use. Choose the one without the folder behind it.

I believe if you go into settings and hit the menu button, you will have the option to switch into list view. Also, there are two "settings" in your app drawer. One is for the tabs, one is for list.

Lol. :silly:
I actually didn't know this could changed at all. Thanks to both of you. I personally prefer the list view.
Well, now that we're doing things the easy way, anyone know how to get the battery usage screen with the graph at the bottom that shows wifi on, awake, screen on, etc? I've only been able to see it when I get the low battery warning, which isn't very often with this phone.

A shorter way to get there is Settings/Power saver/Battery Use.

Modal dialog insanity.

I love my Note 2. I would love it even more if I didn't see a modal popup every gps, every mobile data, every maps exit and others. Verizon or stock 4.1.1 issue? Solutions? Mod?

I know that my ROM no longer says anything about GPS, not sure about Mobile Data. Either way, why are you toggling them all the time? I leave GPS on all the time, data is always active unless in airplane mode, and I can still get through a day easily (usually 2+ days) without charging. Also, WTF is "Modal"? You usually get more help with proper spelling and without replying to yourself several times.

Home button problem?

Every time I press the home button it brings up the recent apps/task manager multitasker window. I click it once for a split second and it brings it up like it would if I held it down for five seconds. This has been happening for about a month now and I have no idea why. Plus I notice that when I turn off the screen it lags for a second too. I'm on build MJ7 and I'm rooted. Yes I have tried turning the phone off and clearing the memory, along with setting processes to the lowest amount but nothing works. Does anyone know what it is or how to fix it? Thanks.
