[Q] three buttons - FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING

so i've heard about some download mode you can get into if you press the home button + power button + volume button all at once while the phone is running.
this is supposed to be helpful if you wanna root it and newer models of the i9000 can't get into that mode - what happens with those? nothing at all?
so i just got one and if i press those three buttons i get a screen with the little android dude on the left and a yellow text that reads:
it says FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING
i can post a picture later once im allowed to.
does anybody know what "FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING" means because I've no clue

like this one from the Wiki?

You want to get into the download mode the phone needs to be switched off before you press the 3 keys.

Cicincho... May I ask what you mean by "the phone must be SWITCHED off first"? Do you mean that the "device" needs to be turned off or do you mean that you have to essentially puth the phone into "airplane mode" so it has no signal to get into recovery mode?
This may sound like a dumb question but I have been to many bell stores who are out of stock on the actual devices themselves but have the instore display models and EVERY one of the display models I tried went into recovery mode EVERY TIME with the 3 buttons.
Hmmmm... Does ANYONE have any feedback to provide here?

Sorry Cicinho... Seems I may have misread your post as now I see that you were talking about download mode and not recovery but I am still wondering about this being a possibility as to how we can get into 3 button recovery. Samsung Mobile Canada on facebook says that they are working on a software update to fix this issue so I wonder if this could be the cause of this issue?
Still curious... Any ideas?

I have the same issue no difference if the phone is on or off.

Closing this....there are multiple threads already on this same topic....please search before posting a new thread like this.

Power button and screen lock

I'm using dual pro incipio case for my ONE. The power button is inside a deep recess... I need to push the cover to touch the button... Is there any app that ll allow to avoid the use of power button all together? That ll unlock the phone using volume button?
That'll help me lock my screen without using power button?
I tried some of the apps but did not work...
Is there any tasker setting that can help?

You have to flash custom kernel which allows you to...
Sweep to wake ...double tap to wake ...sweep to unlock...etc

There are custom ROMs and kernels which can do what you ask. I doubt there is anything available if you're not rooted though..
This is my set-up - doubletap2wake + sweep2sleep..

Yes I'm aware of that kernel... I'm not in a position of rooting and meddling with my phone... I just need something that'll help me unlock the phone with volume key... I will be comfortable with a widget for locking the screen
Edit : thank you for your quick response

You can probably try Tap Tap App ( Screen On-Off ) from the Google Play Store.
One of the commenters of the app says it works on her HTC One 75% of the time and she is not rooted.

Normal Power Saving has nothing to do with it. Checkout if you have any apps that control brightness, like say YAAB. I noticed that when I enable YAAB to control brightness, the slider is gone. And when I disable it, the slider comes back.

[Q] android-vnc-viewer app on Turbo XT1254

Anyone use android-vnc-viewer app on the Turbo? It connects just fine, but most of the functions of the app require a menu button. Turbo doesn't have a menu button. So I can connect and see screen of host, I can pan and zoom, and I can left-click and right-click by tapping and double-tapping. But I can't send text to host (menu-S) or even disconnect (menu-D) from host. I found that it is possible to disconnect by selecting recent apps button on Turbo and then swiping the vnc-viewer app away. It's lame, but it beats having to shut down the phone. Does anyone know of how to access other functions in the vnc-viewer app without a menu key? I didn't find anything in the app documentation.

If you go into Settings > Display, there's a check box that makes it so that when you long press the recent apps button, it acts like a menu button.

Than you. That was easy. I already had the box checked, but had forgotten about it. Also I didn't realize that the task key is the recent apps button.

Did you ever want to enjoy Youtube Videos with screen Off to save your battery?
With Screen Off Keep Playing, now, you can!
_______________________________________________________________
Works very good with Amoled Screens!
Due to Android limits isn't possible to turn off completely the screen but on Amoled Screen Black = No Battery Drain!
On LCD the black screen with the lowest brightness will help a lot to save your battery anyway.
_______________________________________________________________
When you launch "Screen Off Keep Playing" the App will ask for some permission. After that, you can launch the service and the App will wait in background until you decide to run it.
Long press and release the Volume Up Button and the screen will become black, showing the logo for 10 seconds. After that the logo will disappear and the brightness set to the lower value.
Example:
- Start a Youtube playlist, long click on volume up button and the screen will go black while your video is playing! If you need the screen on again just long press the volume up button again!
_______________________________________________________________
Remember: This app works over any other apps, so not only Youtube with screen off but every app!
IMPORTANT: This App works with a key event filter so can't be used with other apps that use the same permission like, for example, any button remap app.
PRO version without ADS and more features will come in the next days!

Amazing work dude ! Gonna try this out! Thanks and keep it up!

Gonna try it! And big thanks for your works on the G Pad 8.3
