There was some problem noted with the newer firmwares of 4.3.. But check if you have ticked multiple widgets in lockscreen settings...
Then some users said changing home screen mode helped them... Try that.. If not then you can download firmware mk6 which has that option by default..

1) Did you try Settings -> My device -> Lock screen -> Lock screen widgets -> Clock or personal message / Owner information ?
If you don't see it, perhaps you istalled Xposed framework and module that causes this kind of problem...
2) I think that samsung disabled the camera feature in 4.3, and also didn't include it as a widget. Fortunately, someone developed
Xposed module that does it flawlessly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363189
(If you don't have root access and Xpoesed framework intalled- well, its about time to start... )
3) Go to Settings -> My device -> Accessibility -> Magnification festures and voilà!
(ps- don't forget to hit thaks button :angel

I know there's supposed to be an option under applications -> development for this but the menu option isn't there.
So how do I make the screen stay on during charge on the I9100?

i'm wondering the same thing as my SGS2 seems to be missing the following option :
Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Stay awake
is the application that you are referring to "Extended Controls" and it's a paid app ?
thanks !
Just so you know, I the screen on the galaxy S ii we get burnt pixel marks fairly easily with the super amoled + display, and so leaving the screen on displaying the same image might not be a good idea. A live wallpaper might help.
Umm well mine stays on when I plug it into the mains or the USB with no extra apps?? Might be one of the apps I have installed I suppose but I haven't downloaded anything specific. I have rooted and upgraded my firmware to KE7 though.

same here - rooted and on KE7 ...
i'm not sure how you manage to keep your screen on - mine switches off after the usual delay even when docked on my desk ...
My screen also switches off while plugged in by usb. Worse still, i found that while using Kies Air, once the screen goes off Kies no longer can communicate with the phone!
Solution was to install JuiceDefender. A great little app, you can tell it to keep connecting for certain Apps even when the screen is off. So all you need to do is add Kies Air. Now it works!
thanks for the update. inspired by your post i had another search and found a similar app called Screen On which has the same functionality including the ability to keep the screen on when the phone is being charged ...
thanks !
Hi all,
About two weeks ago I updated my XS to the official ICS update and am half happy/half annoyed with the result.
Firstly, I'm having trouble with the Home Screen Auto-Rotate. I can't see any settings/toggles for it, and it only seems to activate when plugged into a charger, and turning on/off screen rotation doesn't seem to affect it.
This is a problem for me, because I tend to be lying in bed when charging the phone, and having the home screen auto-rotate while all other applications are fixed in portrait is really annoying!
Have any of you found some setting for this? Or have a solution?
Secondly, there's the issue with the Lock Screen. With the ICS update, the ONLY way to view notifications in the lockscreen is by using "Slide" as a lock screen option, unlike Gingerbread. This is a problem because most people tend to want the "slide to unlock" and then some sort of security function (pattern, PIN, password, face recognition).
From what what I've gathered from reading some posts, ICS removed that functionality or something rather.
Do any of you have any solutions that keep the "Xperia" theme/look?
Thanks,
Aruim
Your first problem is non issues and standard features of any phone for Android(exactly the same as GB), you need to take a quick trip to the dev section to find a solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769082
Your second problem, if I understand you is also a non issue, you can pull down the status notifications menu in the lock screen(new to ICS), you can slide to open any notification(exactly the same as GB) and you can slide to unlock(exactly the same as GB)... you will find everything (exactly the same as GB) in the security\screen lock section of the settings.

The second prob the OP has is possibly the one I've seen most people comment on.
Some of us want notifications on our locks screens, but also want security, such as a PIN. You could do this on GB, now you can't. You have to have one or the other now with ICS. It's not *exactly* the same as GB.
Not a deal breaker, admittedly, but something *I* think Sony should have left, or at least included it as a choice.
hi
For this problem,
I went to disable the Live Ware.
Or, if you use this program, you can only uninstall the new update.
(the behavior you do not want to depend on this)
this worked for me

I stand corrected; i misunderstood.
I prefer it the ICS way tho, I'd prefer not having to slide to unlock then to again go thru security, to then have access to the phone. One poor mans solution is to pick your security method then set sim lock, at least yull have two part security option when u first turn on your device.

something has been annoying me for a while, I noticed playing around when I first got ICS an option to extend the period the phone locks itself when you switch off the screen, or if the screen goes off while you're still reading it, you can just press the button without having to go through the unlock slider menu.
Now my phone seems to be on the mode 'lock the phone as soon as screen off' and I can't for the life of me figure out where the option to change it is, I have looked in EVERY settings menu.
please tell me how where this option is because its something that is really bugging me!
thanks
Settings>security...
Sent from my LT26i
in that menu, the options I have are, screen lock, owner info, sim card lock, make passwords visable, device admins, unknown sources,trusted credentials, install from internal storage and clear credentials...no option to change lock time ?

Hi am going to presume you are on a stock ICS ROM. This happens on stock ROM's if you are using any type of the screen security features. Try them all, you will notice it auto locks after even seconds of sleep. Taking off any of these features and waking your phone back up, your phone resumes as to where you left it. To my knowledge you need a custom ROM to amend the time it takes for the phone to assume it's lock. Im guessing there is a patch or something out there that can add this option though.
yeah I am, and you're right that option becomes available when I select pattern unlock, but is not available with the stock slide to unlock. How would I go about adding this option then?

Just about to hit the hay, so i can't find a solution right now but i know that Miui ROM has the option you're looking for. Allows you to set whether the phone locks when sleeping or stays on your current activity whilst sleeping :good:
the problem is I'm on a locked bootloader any way of adding a patch to add the option without changing the rom?
appreciate the help

Hey guys,
First up apologies if I'm breaking any rules but I'm new to this. Anyway, I have an international unlocked version of the S3 and I just got my Jelly Bean update today. While everything seems to be working fine, I've encountered two problems. Firstly, whenever I visit the stock e-mail app the screen seems to go dim very drastically (im on auto-brightness) and I don't remember it being like this during ICS.
Secondly, I've seem to lost my "Vibrate on Screen Tap" option. Which means while I still have my ripple effect available for my lockscreen, I no longer have the vibration to go with it which is something I grew quite fond of. So I was wondering if these are problems specific to my mobile or everybody as well?
I wondered about the exact same thing until I decided to go through all the menu options and discovered that the phone had put itself in power saving mode. Disabled that and screen vibrate is back again

Yea I faced the issues as well. Dsicovered that once you disabled powersaving mode, when you access the email app, it won't dim anymore. Hope Samsung will fix this issue in the next update.
Hi guys,
i been having this very annoying problem with my GS3 LTE (9305) but when i compare to other GSIII's it seems only mine behave like this but i cant find any reason or any option for the cause.
Basically the problem is that when i call someone and the phone screen goes to off sometime i want to wake up the screen and press the button below the screen and what my phone does is to minimize the call application but on my friends phone the call application stays and only the screen is turned on.
Can you guys please help me finding the root cause to why my call application minimizes itself when the screen is off?
I been searching for every option there is and cant find anything useful, also i have never installed any other dialer application or anything like that.
Please help me this is getting me nuts.

I tested on a GSII LTE + GSIII + Note2 and all are running JB and works fine on their phone.
If it is a bug i hope Samsung fixes it soon, its been a while i got an update and this thing is so annoying.

I meant Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean roms... Jkays framework fixes this issue.
If i recall correctly it has something to do with a setting in s-voice I think. Also it happens with any application when the screen turns off.

Yes, this issue isn't unique to the dialler. If you let the screen timeout with any application then press the home key, it returns to the home screen.
The workaround is to make sure than in the S-Voice settings, you have "Open via the home key" option set. After this, a single home key press will wake the device without returning to the home screen.
Ask this question in the appropriate section

Sadly that didnt work either. I had actually S Voice disabled but enabled and did what you said but it still minimizes the call application
EDIT: very strange , tested calling 4-5 times and suddenly after my friend called me it started working. I called my other cell before and it works fine now. THANK ALLOT MAN.
EDIT2: funny i tried to disable S-Vice again and to my surprise it stil works.
