Is anyone else having difficulty with the new turn over feature to activate Gesture on the Vibrant?
So far I have only been able to activate the search a couple of times, and I have it set on the easiest to activate setting.
Just curious, perhaps I am doing something wrong and need a tip or two on how to consistently activate it. Great idea by Google, if it will work.
I couldn't get it to work once and I also have it on the easiest setting. Wonder if it has to do with our broken POS compass...

Trying to stop the screen from turning on when a new SMS comes in. It used to be (or maybe only GSM?) located at the registry key below. Anyone know how to do this? There is nothing in advanced config either.
Thanks!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL] DisableSMSWakeUpEvent=0
Mod can you please move to Rhodium CDMA? My bad.
I am also trying to find this but have not seen anything yet...it is very annoying when the phone turns on in my pocket b/c I get a text...
This is the most frustrating feature because I somehow manage to unlock my phone all the time while the phone is in my pocket. There has got to be some setting in build.prop or somewhere where I can disable or override this function, right? Anybody know what I need to do?

which ROM are you using?
Started off with Scott's Senseless 2.0 ICS ROM, but I've made plenty of changes to it as well along the way..
I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, I'm not a techie and this is my first post here... I upgraded to the s4 from the dinc2 a couple months ago. I've been searching for a hack for the stock mobile hot spot, similar to the one for the dinc (where you access the hidden menu from the dialer using #778). I can't seem to find any hidden menus on the galaxy s4. I've searched the forums and tried some of the dialer codes suggested but none of them are working. At one point, I was able to get to a screen allowing me to select either enable or disable edit mode. I selected enable but I couldn't go any further, there were no options to move forward or actually edit anything and I haven't been able to get back to it ever since. But, by getting at least that far I'm led to believe its possible for this to work If I knew what I was doing (obviously, I do not. Lol)
All other suggestions I've found have been for root but I'm not interested in rooting. Again, I'm not rooted and I'm updated to 4.3. Basically what I'm searching for is a way to access that service programming menu from the dialer on the Verizon S4... Any ideas?
Anyone?

What your trying to do is possible, but is not possible without root, because in order to access the hidden menus witch are turned off by default you must edit the build.prop file that is located in the system folder of your phone witch is write protected. Now you could root your phone and then apply the edit, then after doing what you need to do just un-root the phone (if that's something your interested in doing).
Is this possible. I've tried everything the fingerprint scanner doesn't work unless you have a secure lock screen. I have used knock code since I got the V10 along with fingerprint so I can use the fingerprint, but I don't want to have to put a knock code in if my fingerprint doesn't work or its on the table...
Anyone got a workaround? I'm still searching.

Does no one know how I can do this?
Matt
I'd like to know the same thing. I know LastPass just added fingerprint support (for marshmallow) and I'd love to be able to use my fingerprint to unlock that (when marshmallow comes) without having to have a secure lockscreen. I don't really care if someone can get into my phone. I just don't want to have to type in my password to use lastpass
I've searched around everywhere for this option .... I just don't think it exists.
So just don't use any lock to get into the phone now. I've got the stuff I want secure in locked files/apps section. Makes using and accessing the main functions of the phone much more accessible. Only doing this for a few days now as a test, but I think it'll be the way I keep it.
My Two Lock Screens Worth
I've addressed the issue another way. I added several more "trusted" places, devices, and connections as well as "trust while moving" which means as long as the phone senses it's on me, I'm at home, connected to Bluetooth devices I know, and more, there's no secure lock but fingerprint still unlocks it. Perfect. Still testing it
Matt
Can anyone confirm that smart lock is working on there device? Have been trying to use it for a while now with very little luck. On body detection works but only within a matter of seconds, trusted places doesn't work at all and i can't unlock my phone with okay Google ( but i have read some devices don't support this feature). Just after some reference points, they could be all the same.
Works fine for me. In stock as for custom ROM. I don't use on body detection but location works fine. Make sure you have enabled great accuracy for location services.
It works fine on my p9000, but I am on Eragon ROM .. Smart lock works as it should and I can use the command ok google to unlock.
However having tried other ROMs I know that what options appear in Security >> Smart Lock vary - as an example when I tried Lineage ROM I couldn't unlock device with my voice, nor could I use voice commands from any screen. Unfortunately I haven't really sued Stock for a little while so I am unsure what actual options are available for the Stock ROM. I would of assumed though the standard Smart Lock options of On Body Detection / Trusted Places / Trusted Devices should be standard (I have 2 other options Trusted face & trusted voice on Eragon)
Going on a long shot, i run a launcher so I'm going to run without for a day or two and see how it works out. Wouldn't have thought it would make a difference but worth a try.

Think I nailed it, i use a gesture to lock my screen on Nova launcher. When i lock with the power button it's fine but when i use a gesture smart lock doesn't work, just incase anyone else ever has a similar problem.
