How to stop the screen from coming on in my pocket on my Samsung GS4

When I put my Samsung Galaxy S4 in my pocket or my wife puts hers in her purse the display keeps lighting up because the buttons are apparently getting pushed. This is running our batteries down when we aren't even using the phones. Is there a way to stop the screen from lighting?

Make sure that you don't press the home button or power button when you put the phone away. You can reduce the screen time out time down to 15 seconds thereby reducing the battery usage to that short time period. Also make sure that your phone sleeve is not pressing against those two wake up buttons.

  • How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications

    How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications

    It's not really something to snap a screen shot of. I believe it would need to be a video clip. For instance, when I am working on multiple images in Photoshop, I often need many images open at the same time, but I only have one image viewable and active. The hero image is active on screen while I hide the other images in the dock by hitting the yellow - button on the images. Then I "Hide" Photoshop to do something in the Finder. When I go back to Photoshop, every image that is hidden in the dock will pop open again in the active window, not just the image I was currently working on. I want these images to stay in the dock until I need them, no matter how many times I Hide the Show Photoshop.

  • How to stop the Dialog from being dragged

    I was hoping that someone could tell me when calling a Dialog from Jframe, a how to stop the Dialog from being dragged
    while a dialog is showing.
    When it is visible I can still click and drag the Dialog
    I want to set it so you can not drag it until the dialog has be closed.

    If you don't have access to the parent frame, a "hack" that usually works:
    Frame frame = Frame.getFrames()[0];
    if (null != frame && frame instanceof JFrame){
    JFrame jf = (JFrame)frame;
    JDialog jd = new JDialog(jf, "title");
    ... code here ...
    As each JFrame (or Frame) is opened, its stored in the array of Frames that you can get. Same thing with Dialog.getDialogs(). Almost always, at least so far for me I've never had this problem, the [0] index is the main window opened, or the parent/top frame. I'd put the check in there to be safe and make sure its a JFrame and usually you'll only have the one JFrame.

    I have cut paste the code from my jsp which is working. There is one additional line. I do not know if that is the cause but there is no harm in trying that out.

    How  to stop  the users from changing User Profile

    Hai,
    It is not possible to restrict SU3 to display, because it has only S_TCODE has the authorization object.
    If you really want to restrict users from changing their profile you have to remove the SU3 access and give SU1 or SU2 which gives access only to Personnel details and Parameters.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to stop the Calendar from editing your input?

    How to stop the Calendar from editing your input?

    I am constantly finding that Calendar Version 8.0 thinks it knows what I want to type but it incorrectly takes numbers and days and times out of my input and changes my appointments. I hate this new supposedly "smart" feature. Even when I edit my event correctly a second or third time it rewrites my input incorrectly again. I have to use my iPhone to override the annoying editing on my mac. I am ready to find a new calendar program unless Apple allows users to input what they want without their information being incorrectly edited.

    How to mirror the screen from one ipad2 to another ipad2?
    When writing in f.ex. Pages on one iPad i wish to see it in realtime on the other ipad.
    How is that done???

    That functionality is not built into the iPad, so you'd need a third-party app of some sort. I'm not aware of any app that allows mirroring from one iPad to another iPad, but perhaps someone else will know of something I've missed.

  • Any key to stop the screen from sliding

    any key or application for IPAD, that may help to stop the screen from sliding?

    What do you mean by "sliding"? Are you talking about changing orientation from portrait to landscape and vice versa?
    If so, then yes. You can lock the screen using either a more permanent solution in Settings > General >Use Slide Switch to "Lock Orientation". This will allow you to flip the switch and lock the screen. if you use the switch as mute lime I do, then you can use the moe ad hoc method...
    Double click the Home button to bring up the task bar. Slide it left to see the Audio controls and you will also see an Lock icon. Tap that to lock the screen in the current orientation. You can easily turn it off using the same procedure and still retain the mute functionality of the slide switch.

  • HT4890 How do I stop the screen from rotating, I am new to IPad

    How do I stop my screen from rotating when I am using it

    There are a few ways to get the screen to "enlarge", so it depends on what you are doing to make it happen.
    For example, on a trackpad you can double-tap (not click) with two fingers to zoom in web pages.  Or you can slide two fingers in a spreading out fashion to zoom in.
    Do you have any notion about what you are doing when the undesired enlarging occurs?
