HI,
Smart started no longer seems to be working. Tried different screen time out settings and everything but the eye icon just doesn't appear and the screen just turns off like normal.

have you tried using different lighting conditions?
mine only worked during afternoons, and even during then, its a hit or miss.
so i ended up just disabling it.

Tried under all conditions, the eye icon in the status bar just wont appear. Used to work before, don't know why its stopped.

In my case its working just fine, but after i turned it on first time i had to reboot my phone. Now is working (almost) perfect. If its oto dark front camera see s*** and power off the screen if you dont touch the screen.
Try to disable this feature, reboot your phone, turn smart stay on and reboot one more time. Should work.

Have you checked your front camera? Is it working right?

Camera is working fine, use it on Tango and for snapping photos.

Try to also enable power save mode, maybe this will help. ???

Still no luck

Glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem.

Fix
Look under Settings->Security->Lock Screen->Secured Lock Time and see if any of the options is selected. Select the option you like and this might fix the problem (it fixed mine).

[Q] Home button timeout

When I press home button there is like 1 second timeout before homescreen is opened. I never noticed the same timeouts on any other android handsets. Is it done for purpose? And could it be disabled, so that home button work imidiatly?
I believe this is caused by S Voice. The home button launch can be disabled in the app itself.

Doesn't really help, I've disabled mine and noticed no difference.

So, looks like I'am not the only one confused by this behaviour...
No its known and happened on s2 also, disabling s voice helps a lot but if you flash cm9 you will see it reacts instantly

Turn off face detection on pictures?

Is there a setting to turn off the yellow box on all pictures that shows a detected face? It kind of gets in the way sometimes..

Try going to the picture from the gallery, press menu, select face tag and toggle it off. I think that should work
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Wow. Incredibly simple and I didn't even see the toggle. Thanks.

Uninstall the game and try again, maybe was a problem with the wifi, if that doesnt work contact the game developer.
You can try wiping the data of that app.
no use

Ninjump solution
for people who are unable to run ninjump, try disabling the "enable 2D hardware acceleration" option in the developer options locating in settings
even i was getting black screen while launching the app, but on doing this, it finally worked and worked fine

Flashing red screen when switching apps?

Hello
I have an international version of s3, non rooted, updated to latest version of jelly bean last night. I noticed that when I switch between apps, like from Facebook to my phone app, yhr screen flashes usually red or green, sometimes around the corners sometimes the whole screen itself. Anyone know what I can do? Thanks!

ZU phone hung up when busy not working

Hi guys.
I'm on build 532.
When I call.somebody and the line is busy, I pressed hung up button (red) but nothing happens / not working. I have to wait until it automatically stop for about 30 to 45secs.
Do you guys experience this and if there's a fix?
Sent from my C6833 using xda app-developers app
I experienced this once, but that was on 510, so i don't really know what's going on.
Yeps have that problem too. Its pretty annoying... any one have a fix?
Thanks
Sent from my C6802 using xda app-developers app
I can confirm this on 532

Is there somebody who found a solution? do you think restoring will fix this? if restoring will fix this issue, I will do it...
Sent from my C6833 using xda app-developers app
Hi guys,
I tried to reformat / restore my z ultra, unfortunately the issue still remains. I cannot stop busy tone by pressing red button even when somebody rejects my call and keeps on a bust tone.
Also I encounter this odd issue today before I restore... Suddenly, I cannot turn on the screen, I pressed power bottom but nothing happens, but I can receive sms, call, email, messages, but the screen stays in black. I had to force shutdown the phone power + vol up and start the phone.
Anybody encounters this?

Hope Sony will release fix to this issue soon.

Sent from my C6802 using xda app-developers app
Cool thanks.
The issue I mention has been fixed with latest firmware 2.257.
