that's probably because you have set language to hebrew, that's right to left isn't it?

Yes the language goes from right to left, but the numbers go from left to right. There is no single Hebrew letter in the lock screen with pin numbers.

and when it's set to english, are those numbers still the same way?

When the phone is set to English the pin numbers are set in correct order. The idea is to set them correctly when the phone is set to Hebrew.

maybe you can look into framework-res or something (if you are rooted)

Translated from German, so the names might be a bit different: Settings --> Security (7) --> Device lock (1) --> Untick "Lock when unused for"
Hope that helped

And if it can't be changed, it is problably set by "Exchange group policy". Then you can use free software Stay Unlock. For me it is working.

Thanks
That worked nice, it was really beginning to annoy me

Go to settings>locale and text>uncheck the "default input" checkbox (not sure about the exact label, but it's second to the top, my phone's language is lolspeak )
Be warned though, you will not be able to access "symbols" menu. When you press
the button under "enter", it'll just act the same as the alt button, the blue one. So, you can't enter an underscore and other symbols like $.

Yes, when in the described mode, press and keep pressing the letter that contains the special symbol.
For instance, if you need the symbol 'ö', press and keep pressing 'o', the rest will point itself out.

Then this seems like a bug. Maybe report this? Where?

Only read if YOU are a Developer.

Hello,
Is there any Developer that can create a app that will work like this:
- Unlock your screen
- Now it asks for a password (Own choose able number password)
Sorry, I got bad English but my point is clear right?

Oh snap...I'm not a developer and I read this

You'll actually find that a pattern at a numeric PIN are essentially the same thing... Just imagine the circle on the top left is a '1', then the one on the bottom right is a '9' - all the other numbers can be imagined using the standard left to right, top to bottom sequence, adding a value of 1 to the previous number to get the new number (I know it sounds complicated, but it's actually quite easy)
Of course, there is no '0', which can really throw you, but you'll get used to it.
Yes, before you say it, I know, you can't use the same virtual number twice in the same code, but I tend not to in my PIN numbers anyway, so for me, it's a moot point... Although I totally understand your concern.
You'll also find the action of dragging your finger through virtual numbers, in a continual sequence is actually quicker than lifting and tapping them individually - hence the advent of such text entering apps like; Swype, Slide It, etc.
Anyway, my point being, you probably won't get too much support on this.
...you're right, I'm NOT a developer - I probably shouldn't have read this...
oh snap, i'm not a developer and i'm reading :O
btw. pattern is OK, better than stupid PIN access.

[Q] keyboard keys in wrong place

hi people
was just typing an email earlier and i realised that the @ button is in the wrong place. when i press [email protected] i get a " instead, these two keys seem to be in the wrong position. i was just wondering if this is same on all the keyboards and if it can be corrected.
thanks

...that's just the british keyboard layout lol.
Go into settings, select language and input, then double check everything is set correctly to your local language.
This issue occurs if you have the incorrect language setup, for instance in the UK if you set it to 'English (United States)" then you get the @ when you press shift 2 instead of getting a ".
Also make sure you actually select the ASUS keyboard as the current one.
If you select a different keyboard (like Thumbkeyboard or Swype) the virtual keylayout will reset to en_US.
See my thread here for a permanent fix for this issue.

[Q] Spell Check

I am surprised to find Spell Checker absent on my Galaxy s3 inspite of it being ICS.
I have been using ICS on HTC sensation before this phone and have gotten use to the automatic spell check in ICS which underlines in red the wrongly spelled words. Pressing these gives you options to correct it with suggestions or to add to dictionary.
Any one found a solution for this yet?
menu->settings->language and indata (or something like that)->little settingsicon at the right of samsung-keyboard->2 option

If you have not already found it .
as above then >> Predictive Text >>>Spell correction .
If not then its your phone or your firmware at fault .
jje
Got the same problem here. I really liked the red underlined misspelled words on my Galaxy S with stock ICS. Why did Samsung remove this feature?
It is on mine under Settings, Language and Input, Samsung Keyboard Settings (the gear icon on the right hand side), Predictive Text. Can you select Predictive Text by tapping on the word?
Tapped
Mine wont do it either....
Does anyone get a red line under misspelled words?
It seems that word correction only appears in the voice dictate mode on S3. I have predictive text enabled, but don't get the misspelled words underlined
I would donate to get this fixed on a non rooted g3

Simple solution to this problem.
1.Go to playstore download jellybean keyboard.
2.go to language and use this keyboard as default.
3.click on the settings icon, choose show corrections suggestions to always show.
and thats it. problem solved.
if this helped please hit the thanks button below enjoy the SIII !
Was able to find the keyboard and install it however it didn't underline the misspelled words on the S3 as advertised in the hype around the keyboard. I that because that feature is turned off in the ROM?

Oh no. My bad . I didnt realize that the red line doesn't show up when we spelt something wrongly. I saw that words were being underlined and suggestions was given. I assume it was all working. Sorry bro
