You will lose any tweaks and installs you have done since you first unboxed the phone, yes.

Maybe it's just worth trying to change the keyboard language?
You know, there's a keyboard icon in the centre at the bottom of the screen when you are typing something?
There is also a small arrow near that icon. If you click that, it has to show you some options, among which is the option to change the input settings.
(At least it is so on a UK ROM)
Hope it helps

Okay Guys..... Rather than start a New Topic on my problem I found this topic which is titled correctly.
I have a horrendous problem with the keyboard every now and then failing to load that has only started today.
After I have used the Keyboard for whatever reason at that particular time I then put the Phone back into sleep mode.
Later, when I switch the Phone back on and again need to use the Keyboard I press the Keyboard symbol at the foot of the screen but it fails to load the Keyboard and thus you can not enter any text.
The only way to use the Keyboard is to then perform a Soft-Reset and then it works...... until later when we have to repeat the whole affair.....
It does not happen all the time but as an example I have used the Keyboard today on 6 separate occasions.
These occasions are when the machine has been put to sleep, woken and the Keyboard to be loaded.
Anyway, of these 6 separate occasions it has failed to load 4 times.
That means I have had to carry out a Soft-Reset 4 times today.
I have not installed anything since the problem started today and am at a loss why it is playing up in this manner.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

No "Never" Option?

After stupidly posting a question in the Win7 forum about disabiling the screen lock while the phone is plugged in and playing music, I was directed to an option under the 5 minutes that says "Never". However, this option does not show up on my phone...any idea why?

I think it got removed with Nodo. Becos prior to Nodo my DVP had it and after nodo,its gone.

I see, is there a workaround? As you may know, we cant edit the registry on the DVP.

I am guessing that it has to do with AMOLED screen and its issue with screen burn-in.
All of HTC's and LG's (all of which uses LCD) have the "never" option, but none of Samsung's (which has AMOLED) have that option.

Odd. The "never" option is still there for me.

Apparently yours is either different or pre-nodo which is highly doubtful because everybody has nodo.

Are you talking about the Screen time-out setting? I still have the Never option and I have NoDo w/ firmware 105.

Yep, I'm all NoDo'd up plus the security update.
And, we all are talking about screen time out settings, yeah?

yes we are talking about screen time out settings. Here is a pic to help clear things up:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Little blurry but the meaning is there.

Just checking. Seemed to be some slight confusion brewing. But, yes... the "never" option is still available for me. I also have one of the DVPs which is experiencing fewer issues than many have reported.
Related? Ask Mr. Owl.

The Never option is only available when you have the password turned off. When you turn the password feature on, the Never option disappears and you are reset to the default 5 minutes.

well this is extremely confusing. I went to settings to check out the theory to see if its true and my phone locked up - first time ever. I havent done anything with it all day, no calls or texts have come in...
I will further investigate this.

restarting the device solved the problems.
I still see no never option, even when the password is turned off.

[Q] Nexus 7 White Dot?

Hey guys,
When I turned on my Nexus 7 the other day, I noticed what looked like a white fingerprint against the screen, like someone had pressed against it too hard (no one had, it was sitting perfectly safe), and I had never seen this kind of problem before, so I thought I'd come here. I have two pictures of it. They aren't the best, but you can see the problem in them. Any ideas on what it is, and how to fix it?

That looks like a fissure or an unprecisely-shaped grid of dead pixels. Do you get that upon boot?

It had been dead for some time, but once I recharged and booted it up, I noticed it. It hadn't been there before, and I haven't tried resetting the tablet.

That would appear to be an issue with the hardware then, unfortunately. I don't think a reset will do anything if you noticed it as soon as you booted since it appears before the OS even started. Has the size or shape changed at all since you first noticed it? Does *gently* bending the tablet in any direction affect its appearance?

[Q] Serious Problem: Galaxy S4 I9500 Lockscreen Shutdown Enabled

Hello everyone, this is my first post on xda forums. I hope someone out there might be able to help me out.
I accidentally found out that on my galaxy s4 I9500 lock screen, I can still press and hold power button and it gives me options to power off/restart my phone. I have pattern lock enabled. I tried and successfully powered off the phone straight from my lock screen, not to mention that it scared me out. What if it gets stolen? Anybody can turn if off and I wont be able to track it down or enable any thing via SMS commands etc.
What's the purpose of lock screen if the phone can be turned off, if not unlocked, and I couldn't do anything about it.
I recently updated android 4.4 and I am not sure whether or not this issue persisted before that. I am attaching a screenshot of it. Looking forward for someone to sort this out for me. Thanks.

Did you just find out after reading this post or were you aware of it before?

And have you not thought that even if it is as you describe what is the benefit
not so great
If someone steals your phone much easier to remove the battery and that is even faster than pressing buttons
this is just my personal opinion

Yes, you're absolutely right, but then again it raises a big question mark on all the tracking and anti-theft apps as well as Google's own android device manager feature a bunch of crappy apps which do no good at all except for playing sirens via laptop on your own phone and thinking it actually works.
Plus if the thief is within the room, he wont go through all the trouble of removing the protective case, back cover and then removing battery itself. He'd simply turn it off and wait.

It has been like this since I can remember, way before 4.4. In GS3 and GS4, probably in SGII too, this I don't remember.

I don't remember ever had to unlock before that S4
I don't remember

Question about camera app preview icon

Sorry I am new to this forum and not sure if this is the place to ask questions. I just got my 6p today and was excited to try the camera but soon found out that I can't preview the photos that was taken in the previous session (like the photos I took with this phone previously). I attached a picture and you can see the lock icon on the lower right corner. Is it supposed to be like this?

That only appears if your phone is not unlocked and you launch the camera from the lockscreen. Otherwise, if you unlock your phone first before launching the camera, then you should be able to see the images there.

I see! Wow that's tricky. I always use the power button push twice to go into camera. Didn't know that's considered "not unlocked". I even unlocked the phone first then push power button twice but no veil. Thanks for cracking the code!

Np. It's mainly for security so a random person can't just go through your gallery. Also, when you double tap the power button, your phone is actually first locked. The double tap for camera shortcut essentially works by sensing the delay between the first tap and the second tap, if it is too small, then launches camera. Otherwise, it just turns your screen on and off, locking your phone.

Edit: my XDA app seems to be out of saying with the rest of the world. There was only the OP post showing when I replied.
