The other day I tried my XDA2 as an MP3 player for the first time, walking to the supermarket with headphones on. I realised that you must keep the machine turned on otherwise Windows Media Player stops playing. Bit surprised by this! (Does this fit with what other people have found? Seems a little impractical.)
So, I had to walk to Tescos with the XDA2 switched on in my trouser pocket. By the time I got there, I'd managed to open the Contacts app, find an ex-girlfriend's contact info and edit it. I'm not sure how I did this in my pocket. (But she always used to call me 'Clever ****' )
Anyway, has anyone heard of an app that covers the screen with some sort of blank page and turns off the backlight, so that I need to touch a specific spot to reactivate the regular display? With something like that, I couldn't accidentally mess about with the machine and cause havoc. If such a thing doesn't exist, does someone fancy making one? Surely it would be so simple.
Would be interested in your thoughts, XDA2 brethren.

WMP has an option to Toggle off the screen.
Tools - Settings - Buttons
Hardware buttons are still live but the screen, and touch capability, are disabled. It also helps to extend battery life.
COOOL!
Perfect! Map the Action button to the screen toggle and my prayers are answered! Thanks a bunch for that - I'd discovered how to map play, pause, stop etc to the cursor pad, but didn't realise what 'screen toggle' did.
Nice one. Much appreciated.
When I'm plugged into TV-Out or VGA-Out watching movies, there's no need for the screen on the device to be on. I've got TCPMP configured so it doesn't keep the backlight on, which increases the battery life a fair bit (up to around 2 movies).
But there's no need for the screen to be on at all, and surely the screen uses a large chunk (most?) of the power in this kind of situation?
Anyone have any ideas on how I could set this up so I could turn the device screen off? I was thinking I could perhaps allocate one of the hardware buttons to run a mort script or something? At the least I might see if I can link up the "volume" slider (which I never use) to do backlight levels (if I can work out how)...

I don't know. Very intersted though.
I don't know if this will help but I have "Wisbar" installed and one of the shortcuts in their menu is to "Toggle screen" or "Power off" which does the same. I have tried to hit the Toggle screen and have had some success with the screen going out and having the movie still play on the TV...TJ
Thanks TrekkerJmm, I'll give Wisbar a go, see if I can replicate your success.
Which version are you using?
Im using "WA3_v3.1.0.5_WM6" ...TJ

I installed a $0.99 utility called 'Awady ScreenOff' that I got from Handango - it works fine on my Advantage x7501.

Interesting first post! Nice to see an app priced sensibly - small, but for those that need it, useful. Good find!
OK, so I finally got around to testing this out (been away from home for some time) and I came across 2 issues:
1) Obviously once you've turned the screen off you can't control the device using the touch screen (duh!) - so an external mouse at the minimum is required so that you can turn off the screen and then play and full screen your media player (I initially forgot this during my "trial").
2) The video stayed on the screen, but didn't play - it was just frozen on the last image before I pressed the Wisbar button to turn off the screen.
As far as 2 goes - I've noticed that TCPMP has a "Play video in background" option (which was not turned on when I tried this out) that may be what I'm looking for. I always kinda wondered why you would want to use this option... I think I know now!
I'll give that Awady ScreenOff a go too... looks ideal. Thanks John!
Hi there.
I have optical joystick switched off all the time, but sometimes it turns on by itself. I think some application does it, but so far I did not found which one.
Any idea ?
Got the same problem sometimes
and
my backlight dimming sets itself often back to 10 seconds (instead of 1 minute which I had set it to)
Anyone else has those problems ?
I can confirm optical joystick switching on.

I had the same problem as you, but it went away ever since I've got the new(R2) rom installed.
Don't know if it's some application that does it tho, because I've barely installed anything on my newly flashed phone.
optical joystick keeps turning on
Actually I have the same problem, the joystick keeps turning on by itself, even when turned off. My conclusion is that it turns on when switching to the Mediaxperience panel, using the panel and then switching to another panel.
I'm also looking for a solution for this.
even i had this problem... i tried changing the panels but it would still happen. i then set my joystick to lowest sensitivity in the settings. its been almost a month and it has not happened since.
i think its a issue of some dust or moisture settling below the joystick on the circuit board and causing it. try setting it to the lowest setting.
I'm fairly new with the xperia, have it one week now. Of course I try everything out, and it's just switching back on after switching to the original MediaXperience panel. Maybe Sony has programmed it to turn back on with this panel to benefit the optical joystick at it's maximum. Isn't there a registry edit possible to make it permanenty switched off?
anyone?...
I'd like to compile a list in one thread. Hopefully Samsung + Verizon is reading.
- GPS
Takes longer than usual to acquire a GPS lock when GPS hasn't been used for a while.
- Rotate notification
Notification sound sometimes plays when the phone orientation changes. Typically happens after connecting to USB with debugging enabled.
- Pandora/Radio Time status bar text
Status bar text is in black instead of white; this is an app issue, but still annoying.
- Desk clock app
When docked, there should be an option for the display to automatically change from day time to night time view based on sunrise/sunset. The month is shown as text as well as 2 large digits; the date should be shown as large digits. The current date doesn't update as it should; in the morning, the highlighted date will be yesterday's date.
- Smart Alarm
The Smart Alarm will play a nice calm sound before your alarm. Good idea, but there's no way to snooze it. If you dismiss the Smart Alarm, the normal alarm will never sound. Normal alarm functions properly. Should have an option for 1 min. Smart Alarm.
- Stock Car Dock app
Only launches VZ Navigator (which no one would ever use). Google Maps should be an option (if installed). Must remove stock app and use a Market app to fix.
- Bing
Really?
- Browser bookmarks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795392
Don't pin bookmarks for us. There are ways to get rid of them and we shouldn't have to find those ways to do that. There are 2 Verizon bookmarks that you CAN NOT delete without a workaround.
- Messaging Notification
I like the puzzle piece notification. I would like it even more if it worked with Handcent (or other SMS apps).
- Battery charging
Why does the battery usage drop a few percent right after it's pulled off the charger after a full charge?
- Battery notification
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790908&page=5
Please don't notify that the battery is changed via popup. This is not an iPhone. Use the notification bar so it doesn't illuminate the phone at night while we're sleeping which then causes the battery to drain even more.
- Headphone jack
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786793
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790645
Should be able to distinguish the type of headphone you're plugging in. You can't use the phone mic to talk on the phone when normal headphones (with no mic) are plugged in.
- Dock audio jacks
The home dock states the jack will be functional in 2.2. The car dock didn't have that sticker. Hopefully these work after the update.
- Edit magnification/improved copy + paste
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3190
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794020
Should be able to enter an edit mode to show a magnification window to help determine where your finger is when editing text. This will also improve the copy paste function. There is a feature request open by Android developers for this. Also, I believe HTC has implemented something like this - so should Samsung.
- Navigation volume
Even with Google Navigation volume at max, it is much lower than the other sounds playing through the phone.
- Lag
All Galaxy S models have a "lag" based on the file system Samsung decided to use. A Linux-native file system should be used instead.
- Browser GIF support
Browser does not support animated GIFs
- Dock audio support
Some charging docks state the audio outputs will be supported in 2.2.
- Softkey lights
Softkey lights should stay on while the screen is on (in some cases... or at least optional).
- Incoming call screen locks
Incoming calls lock the screen. Outgoing calls don't. The screen shouldn't lock during calls.
- Stock E-Mail app
Stock e-mail app can't open some attachments (notably PDFs).
- Stock calendar limitations
Overlapping appointments are not handled well; week view does not show detail it should (and is possible the most used view). Does not default to Google calendar.
- Music player auto pause
Music should automatically pause if headphones are unplugged. This feature may be in 2.2.
- Contact sorting
No option to sort contacts by Last Name, First Name
- T9 Dialer default
Love the fact they added a T9 dialer. Hate that it defaults to the first number in the contact's list of phone numbers. It should default to the default number of the contact and/or show all the contact's numbers or all the possibilities of the name/number search query. Is the T9 dialer search function using Bing? (cheap shot)
- Global search button
The global search button usually has options within the Settings menu which should give you the options to search applications, contacts, e-mail, etc. on the phone itself. This option is not present (another Bing limitation maybe?)
- Music player controls
After stopping the music player, the controls will sometimes re-appear unless the player task is killed using a task manager. This has been known to happen after receiving a phone call.
- Phone notification
When in a call, there are 2 phone icons in the notification bar. Maybe one is an Android default and the other is for the super cool phone control from the notification pull-down?
- Call quality
Could be improved
- Daily briefing app
Nice idea, but it's not configurable and has been known to slow down the phone when used as a widget.
- Bloatware
No one likes this stuff. Please give us the ability to uninstall these apps. And follow Google's approach and utilize the Market to update your own stock apps so we don't have to wait for a full system update for app fixes.
- Car dock application after removal from dock
Screen doesn't lock when removing from car dock; screen stays on and will sometimes re-launch the last application (Navigation mostly). The bad part is when you grab the phone to remove it from the dock, you typically press something on the screen or one of the soft keys.
- Text Messaging +1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797001
Texts fail to send when the contact number has +1 in the number field when using stock Messaging app. To fix, edit contacts via G-Mail and re-sync your contacts via your phone.
- Touch screen doesn't work on edges
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798244
When drawing on the screen, the pixels closest to the edge are not displayed.
- Screen burn in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805249
- Auto brightness
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821723
Doesn't work as well as it should. Too bright in the dark, not bright enough (100%) in direct sunlight.
- Signal strength
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782781
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821472
Appears to be lower compared to other phones.
- Wi-fi Notification
When wi-fi network notification is disabled, you still get a notification of wireless networks after disconnecting from a saved network.
- Market Application Update Notifications
Never notified of application updates until the Market app is re-launched.
- Market Downloads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=815360
Sometimes apps don't download from the Market. I have this problem when wi-fi is enabled. I will verify wi-fi works (using the browser for example), Market downloads sit at "starting," disable wi-fi, Market apps immediately start to download.
- Calendar + Maps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9215536&postcount=49
Calendar doesn't link to map locations.
If you know of a bug not listed, post and I'll try to add to the list.

I've been hesitating posting this, because I was afraid of a list of "you're holding it wrong" type of responses. No disrespect, I appreciate your comments and suggestions. I am aware of some of the applications available to work around some issues and other issues we shouldn't have to deal with by rooting the phone. I figured it would be nice if Verizon & Samsung had a list of bugs by a GOOD user community as well as others from this forum who may not be aware of all the issues currently present.
That being said...
1. My GPS works as well, but acquiring a lock isn't as fast as it should be.
2. I use the app Quick Settings. This sound isn't set to the system sounds - it's set to the notifications (same as text messages). Give it a try.
3. Thanks.
4. Still annoying.
5. Thanks I'll give that a try.
6. Google Maps is not installed by default, but the option to change should be there.
7. I like TouchWiz. Rooting should not be a solution.
8. There are 2 Verizon bookmarks which you can not delete without a workaround. They are possible to delete, but not like the others. Give it a try.
9. It would be a nice feature enhancement.
10. Long enough for it to be fully charged. There's a post on it if you search.
11. It's not as fast as it was before the update. To me, it's a bug.
Thanks for your comments, but I think we could all benefit more from contributions. Your #2 was close to a contribution as it's always helpful to learn about new apps - but your solution is incorrect.
Headphone jack needs to be fixed. Its definitely a software issue. The phone should be able to distinguish the type of headphones that are connected cuz other android phones does that.
This is more of android os flaw but I want to be able to select any texts aside from text boxes such as websites and received email just by multi-touch.and I want to be able to drag the cursor along the words I made a typo on rather than continuously attempting to land my fingers between the letters I want to edit.

Phone call lock screen
I've been looking for someone with a similar issue to mine but couldn't find a solution.
If I make an outgoing call for a duration longer than the time my display is set to lock after being idle (1min), I can hang up straight after the call ends. In other words, the display does not lock during an outgoing call. However, when I receive an INCOMING call and speak for a few minutes (e.g. longer than the 1 min display lock timer) at the end of the call I have to unlock the display to get back to the dialer and then end the call.
I would prefer the screen to not be locked after a phone call. Any suggestions?
GPS is an issue as I was stuck in traffic and trying to find another way home and just gave up and relied on my instinct.
The battery has been great for me and it takes an hr or 2 depending on my usage for the battery to move once off the charger.

Does anyone know how to get into the menu where recovery etc is????? Up+menu+ power ain't working.

This is something someone else on the forum noticed and posted here. I noticed it when I'm looking for it, but it's not something you'd know about unless you were tracking your battery usage with a percentage (as some people have done by replacing the stock battery icon in the taskbar with the circle battery icon that shows the percentage). The issue is that immediately taking it off the charger after a full charge, the battery drops a few percentage... which is just weird.

I've read in the Developer forum that some people (including me so far) have had some success with un-checking VZW location services in the Location & Security menu. I've only had this option set for a day so far, but it seemed to work the one time I used GPS - tracking was instant.
To get to recovery, power down, then hold both volume buttons and power on. I'd suggest checking the Developer forum for more information related to recovery. The current Clockwork button scheme is wacky (once you get to that point - which I haven't).

You can try using Screebl? That keeps your screen on when it's at an angle, but I believe it has some in-call options as well. I've been trying to test this to confirm the bug, and I can only get the screen to lock if I navigate away from the in-call screen.

This sounds like the infamous "lag" that plagues all of the Galaxy S phones. Most people will root the phone and implement the lag fix to resolve this issue.
Most people ask for an explanation as to why this is. The short of it is Samsung decided to use a file system that couldn't handle multiple read/writes as good as a Linux native file system. Our phones have 2 GB of internal storage for Market apps (located in /data/app). The lag fix creates a 1 GB file formatted as EXT2 (Linux native) within the 2 GB partition. The result is that the phone runs like a bat out of hell, but you only get half as much storage for your apps. For some, 1 GB is enough for their apps. For some, they won't push the phone hard enough to notice the lag.
Pay attention to how Samsung treats the other Galaxy S models (particularly outside the US). It's likely that what they change on those phones will be what'll happen to our phones. If they don't fix it post 2.2, we'll have to keep an eye on the Development area for ROMs which fix this for us.

Yes, this is a very annoying bug; incoming calls do not keep the screen from locking, but outgoing calls do.
Along the same lines; if you use the Music Player at any point during normal use, and exit when you are done, the application exits like it should. But then if you place or receive a phone-call, the music app reappears in your notification bar for no reason.
Very annoying.
How about better copy and paste like the dx? I also can't seem to use the copy and paste inside the email or gmail app.
I would also like it if they could add bluetooth keyboard support and video out through the headphone jack like the galaxy s international version.
That's my wishlist, hope it might be able to come in an update, 2.2?

The copy/paste feature request has been posted on the Android code website, which I doubt everyone knows about. We have to go there and mark each feature request with a star to get it to rank higher in the results list. Hopefully Google will do something about it. HTC and Motorola both implemented their own copy/paste bubble, but I agree that we need one for the Samsung (or for Android in general)!

I don't like the call quality at all and it might be a deal breaker. I hear myself like I'm talking through a kazoo. There is a microphone in the ear piece that seems way to sensitive. And you don't believe me open voice recorder and blow by the mic on the bottom an then blow in the ear piece. See. Is there some sort of canceling thing going on during calls with this over sensitive mic? Voice recording from 3 feet away with normal voice renders distortion. Recording a video in a room with people talking leaves audio garbled all to hell.
My omnia i910 sounded like a land line and I miss it. And I work outside and never had any complaints. But with the fascinate after 4 days I been asked. Are you skydiving? You in a hurricane? How windy is it by you? (just a mild breeze). Even walking generates wind noise that is audible on both ends. Will the update fix this? My 30 will be well over before the update. I might just take it back and leave money on credit until update and see if it was fixed. I absolutely love this device. But hate the phone. And the phone is a major part of what I need.
25 days left.

Hi guys,
Is there really no way to turn off the phone screen when using smart view? I've been searching and there doesn't seem to be any threads in regards to the issue, so hopefully I'm just being stupid.
Surely such an obvious feature can't be missing?
Thanks

you need to install smart view app and configure in settings
With the latest android update, while connected to my tv with smart view (Note 8), my phone screen turns off after a few seconds. How can I set this so that it stays on? (I use it for exercise and sometimes want it on tv and sometimes on my phone. I don't want my phone screen to turn off.)
I've a note8 and I want my screen to be off.. somehow even after the update, my screen is still on. Can anyone point me to the right direction on where is the setting for this? Thanks

Hi, was wondering if anyone had further answers on this. Particularly the screen going off after few minutes whilst using smart view?. I have tab s3 and it does this whilst using zwift, it does not appear to be linked to a game booster or launcher (or j can't find that setting).
The screen doest lock i just need to swipe it to revive it, but i wish it could stay on so i can use both screens ?
Thanks all
Solved
Its seems there is nothing you can do when smart screen is activated. Even the 'screen always on' apps that are out there are ignored while smart screen is active. Also the alwzys on in developer options is ignored.
However i found a solution with an app called Macrodroid. Create a macro to be trigged when smart screen is running , adding always on screen as the action and its working fine :good::good:
I think this would also work in reverse for those of you who are having problem wiyh screen not dimming or going standby
