Safe mode?

Does anyone know what the safe mode is useful for??
You can access it by keep pressing vol down when the phone is booting.

Maybe similar to windows safe mode?

It prevents 3rd party (installed) apps from running in case you get a rogue one that prevents the system from booting or running properly.
You can still access them to remove them.

Be aware that if you're tempted to try it for the sake of it, it will mess up your widgets because they appear to the launcher to have been uninstalled. Even after a normal reboot, they'll be missing.

Not to be a jerk but this should have been posted in Q&A section. But anyhow it sounds lije your proximity sensor may be bad. Open your phone app and press menu button to access settings if you cant figure it out I would just backup all the data with Kies 3 or whatever and do a factory reset

Haven't tried a reset, bbut download this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tigermonster.proxfinder and am getting readings for 0 and 8cm (no intermediate) as well as time covered.
So not really sure what to do next. Reset might be only way.

Try this:
Go to- Settings
My device
Call
Turn off screen during calls.
There should be a check next to it. Try turning it off & on again.
Be aware things change if you're using bluetooth...
Hope this helps.

Ok thought i would try something after reading elsewhere that dust can effect it quite easily. I have an otterbox defender. Guess what, no problems at all when phone is naked.
Case closed! Ill just have to "deal with it" as they say!

That sounds like your case was blocking the proximity sensor on the front of your device
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using xda app-developers app

Yup thats what i discovered. It doesnt directly block it but the presence of the case close to the sensor must be creating some confusing for it.

Import photos to photo gallery?

Is there an app that will sync my Facebook/dropbox photos with my built in gallery like the Samsung devices do? If it matters I'm rooted running stock everything.
