My capacitive buttons will not light up unless I cover the sensor first. Is there any known fix for this? Is this enough to get the phone replaced?

They only light up if it's really dark.

Bump.
The developer of Capacitive Button Brightness recently made a version of his app that turns the capacitive buttons on with the screen, regardless of lighting. Idk if he implemented those changes in the Play Store version, but I'm linking his post below.

That's weird. Try changing something (select one of the different brightnesses); it may trigger a request. Just change it back to default if you wish.

Which one are you trying (apk or play store)? You could try to reboot and/or clear the application's data (settings -> apps). Idk beyond that; it works for me.
EDIT: It could be an issue with the apk I attached; I noticed that the file name is different from when I got it from the developer. I linked his post; grab it from there.

The apk you linked. I've used the play store version in the past no problems, but I've installed a new rom since then. It seems I'm getting this problem now with both versions, so I guess the source of the problem is elsewhere...

hurm.. this is embarrassing. I've recently installed a new ROM, so I must have messed up somewhere as I'm getting errors from all apps as though the phone isn't rooted, which I don't understand how that could be since I'm already on a custom ROM... I'll reinstall the rom for now and see how that goes..

It may be as simple as installing Superuser from the Play Store (if you don't have it).

Turned out using SuperSU rather than superuser seemed to fix the problem. Getting back on topic I suppose, this version of the brightness app solves the issue of the capacitive buttons! They now illuminate when the screen is on, turn off when the screen is off! you're a lifesaver.

Hi,
I recently got a wireless charging receiver for the phone and now I get this annoying popup which says to close the micro usb properly to prevent water damage.
This happens also sometimes during charging in the middle of the night.
Can anyone tell me how to disable the popup? To make it clearer, it is not the flashing text that appears when the phone is connected to the charger. ( this can be disabled via xposed module)
The one I am talking about is more like a text with a white background picture.
"for protection against water damage firmly seal the charging cover before use"
Anyone else with the "problem" ?
I am on NEE-I9295XXUBMK2.
Thanks for the help in advance.
[edit]
this also happens when I disconnect the device from USB.
No one with this problem?

I second that!
I have found battery_cover_notice.xml in systemui\res\layout
There is an battery_cover_notice_image and an battery_cover_notice_message
The Pic is help_img_usb.png in folder systemui\res\drawable-hdpi
Now you can try and delete the battery_cover_notice.xml from the SystemUI

I tried and it worked ( at least the popup doesn't appear anymore) but I do not have a notification area at the top anymore. No clock, Signal or anything.
Perhaps it's because of the odex file? Didn't touch that.
I will try it again. Might be, I did something wrong.....
Thanks
okay thanks for feedback...
I will investigate this....
So is there no non-root way of disabling this?

I am.
No solution found so far.
Only I remember - that started after OTA update from Samsung in later 2013.
On original software I didn't have such warning.
Before and after is 4.2.2 Android, I didn't notice any changes, so I am lookiing for old firmware to download...
p.s. I also have wireless charger from "indiegogo"

Cloud it be that this notice is a toast with a custom theme? You could check it with my app EnhancedToast, and hide it if it is a toast. Enable logging in the app and watch it.And yes, root is required for Xposed. Btw, the Google edition don't show it at all

^Mostly what I was going to say, so thanks.
You should check EnhancedToast if you can, and you could always switch ROM's - I'm loving the CM 10.2 ROM, which doesn't have the warning, and offers a lot of other advantages. If a notification comes up in the bar, long-press it and see if comes up with the "app info" button - it could be run through some sort of stock app that you could disable or uninstall altogether.
Hi everyone! I'm new on the forum and in smartphones as well. Rooted GT-i9252 last week. Starting to develop app in future.

Any good source to learn more of ROMs? What do I lose if I dump the original, what do I get with some other ROM?
How should I backup? Meaning there's lot's of data:
- contacts and messaging and that stuff
- pictures, music, videos etc
- OS (?)
- ROM
- Apps (downloaded and system)
Maybe someone could explain the best practice to backup ROM,OS and apps.
Thanks in advance, Kaptah.

What method of rooting your phone did you use? They are not the same thing, but it is possible to do them both at the one time. If everything looks different, then yes, you would have changed your ROM while rooting.

OK I've found the option but it's not the one I was looking for. This one seems to remove the message when you plug your phone to the power supply. Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway thanks a lot for your help.

This problem appeared/reappeared when i upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3 (ML2)
After rooting ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2690133 )
and disabling KNOXagent it still gives this warning, which it did not do after the 4.2.2 Active Root.
This is merely an annoyance but if someone figures out a quick way to disable it that would be grand.
i have this issue too. cant wait for a fix for this. just updated to 4.3 a few days ago and having to tap the bubble everytime is just annoying. why the hell would they add these rediculous notifications? its not like att or samsung will stand behind the "waterproof" claim anyway..... water damage weather the door is open or closed means your screwed no matter what.
I've personally tried using the "EnhancedToast" module for xposed and the prompts do not register as toast events. It has to be something else.

I tried everything, but it just crashes. I even tried deleting the app's data.
This helped for me. Try to hold on the app and run one of the function: "Make selfie" or "Record the video" after that camera will work, but sometimes when i launch camera on the common mode, i have a black screen again.

In the other thread there are several comparison pics. I doubt you can get it working without canera2 api which needs root to enable. Without HDR+, whats the point of having gcam?

Hey,
Is there a magisk module or some app that can do it? Maybe there is an app that can pop up the camera and leave it like that? Or just block it? I want it to stay blocked and not pop up or stay popped up and leave it like that. Don't ask why, just is there something like that?
I am sorry, but i wanna know ,, why ??

LOL WTF??? :laugh:
You can turn off camera popping out sound and when you do that camera motor sound is almost unhearable.
On my previous phones I wanted a facility to manually turn the front camera on an off in fear of apps using the feon camera when not expected.
On this phone it feels safer in this regard because the lens is hidden when in not use and we can see it coming out when being used. That said, I have now seen few apps trying to use the front camera when not expected.
I also wanted a facility to manually turn on/off the front camera as today one site ads pop up & tried to take pic from front camera automatically without any permission.

Well, yea but when there is quiet around you the camera motor sound is like a 280 dB...
you can use the motor apk to enable it always down. Just set the calibration. ONLY for aosp roms.
on miui, just disable camera access manually for all apps.

I don't think there is any magical module designed to do that, you could disable chrome acces to camera usage though. However in my experience apps such as Instagram and WhatsApp seem to open the front camera in background a lot if left running on their "stories" page (I think it's more of a bug rather than malicious behaviour) so maybe it was that

The screen rotation in my gallery app doesn't seem to be working, it works in other apps but not the gallery. Anyone else having this issue?
Gallery app does the same thing on my S22 ultra on Android 13 UI 5.1. If I start with the Samsung My Files app and view an image using Gallery app it will rotate.
I setup a task in tasker which auto rotate when YouTube/Galery is launched and turn itself off once I leave the apps. Maybe it will help you..

I have the same problem on the S23U. I noticed that when autorotation doesn't work, I go into the gallery settings, go back to the pictures again then rotation works. If, on the other hand, I exit to the home screen and enter the gallery again it does not work again.
Hmm ya going to the settings fixes it but only temporarily, strange.
