Kill Zoom?! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Android userscreen in fullscreen ??

Hi all,
I've expierenced something new, after using my phone for quite alot of hours i realised few minutes ago that my information bar is missing. This information (above) is only visible on the lock screen but not on the UI.
I like this very much and i love the ability to work in fullscreen mode.
Perhaps i activated this by accidentily pressing some buttons.
I've made this topic so that the experts on here can inform me what i exactly did and how i can do it again (turn on this feature) in the future.
Its pleasent to work in fullscreen mode.

I only ever came close to a similar situation when I was trying to change some image files in framework-res.apk. Have you tried to apply a theme/mod recently?

[Q] s3 developer mode? please help!

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

Wanamlite v.12 Home Screen Scrolling not Infinite!

Hi all,
Im a new user here to please bear with me if I accidentally broke some rules.
To start off, Im a new ROM Flasher and my S2 is currently using the wanamlite v.12 blue ics with speedmod k3-20.
My simple problem is, I noticed that there is no infinite scroll in my wanamlite Home Screen. I am unable to scroll from screen 1 to screen 7 or vice versa. I need to swipe all the screen first before getting to the last screen which is kinda annoying.
I tried searching in the forum and got to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436817&page=619
Unfortunately, I cant still post since this account is newly created.
PS: I dont really like using alternative homescreen like nova or apex.. I would like to keep my wanamlite stock screen.
Can you help a lil newbie here? Also what modem is good for signal + battery saving?
When on the home screen, press the menu button (opposite the back button) and see if there are any options for Launcher Settings. If there is, go to it and see if there are any options for the Home screen. Infinite scrolling should be there.

Add
Wallpaper
Search
Notifications
Edit
Settings
All of the choices does not have the infamous infinite scrolling.. thanks for the help though

LP9 modem is good, as is BULP6, KI3, and KI4. Personally, I use the LP9 modem.

[Q] Voice announcements really irk me on xwlsd

Hi,
Does anyone know how to turn off the female notifications when swiping between home screens/app pages - the one that says "Page x of x". Honestly, whoever at samsung/google thought this up should be flogged. When I'm listening to music and also using my phone, I know what page I'm on, I don't need a wet nurse distracting me and telling me the obvious. Also, is anybody running into massive stuttering when quickly swiping between screens or using the dots to slide quickly between home screens? That is annoying and a drastic step back from previous roms, and also I've noticed that each new samsung rom seems to be more bug ridden than the last - either stability issues or some other annoying thing. But enough ranting, I'd appreciate if someone would let me know of solution to my first problem mentioned here - thanks in advance.
go to settings and then go to accessibility settings. There you have a option called talkback. Turn that off ~!

It's an accessibility feature. You turned it on yourself.
No I'm no dummy, that accessibility setting is one of the first things I've checked and it's off.

impossible to put on silent mode

Hi all, just bought an S3 to replace my old LG 2x, I have a annoying problem on my S3. I'm a teacher so I want my phone to be completely on silent mode while in class but I noticed that notifications seem to keep on giving a sound whilst on silent or vibrate mode. I tried to change in the settings but no luck ? Is there a way to avoid this ?

open numberpad and long press "#" to switch to silent mode..there are lot of shortcuts to do this...there is a toggle in notification shortcuts also...I believe there is something you are not doing right in settings...!

I know the shortcuts, but in the settings is it possible to set the preferences for the different profiles ? Can't find them ...
Just checked again and when on vibrate or silent mode i keep getting notification sound when receiving text message or email. If i change in settings f.ex. all sounds off and switch to normal mode i get no sound. .. is it hardware related ?

Firmware rather than hardware you can try a factory reset .

Found several owners on the net who have the same issue. I installed an app "easy sound widget" and that does the trick. Strange that many owners have this and that Samsung overlooked such a basic setting...
shouldn't be in General
