With my iPhone i used to occasionally use the feature where you tap on there screen with 3 fingers and it causes the screen to zoom. It was under accessibility features. Does Android have such a feature?
It has a similar feature.
touch both sides of the screen with one finger, and tilt forward or backward to zoom in or out.
Thank you.

I was watching a video on youtube on some features on the galaxy note. One of the features was being able to pause music by placing a hand over the proximity sensor. I can't get it to work on my Att Galaxy Note. Is this feature only for the International version?

Maybe a motion control option?

Tried it. No luck.

I think some of those hand controls might have been turned off in ours. I also haven't been able to replicate the hand swipe from left to right for the screenshot that they were showing off on the International version.
Sensor music player even changes to next so ng by waving your hand over theb phone ...or shake.....the native software would pause the music when you flip itbover......feature is on settings and motion

Enable motion control and you can silence music (pause?) by flipping the phone over in the Samsung (not Google) music player. It's gyro based, not prox based so brushing your hand over the front won't do it.
@inconceivable, left to right swipe screenshot does work on ours. Swipe different? Use the side of your palm. The only difference is it doesn't open up the editing window like it does with the pen.
Cant get this to work. It is enabled in settings.

My problem is trying to get youtube to NOT pause/stop when I go to the homescreen and other applications. From what I've been told, it's impossible. Is that true?

Use the side of your hand like a karate chop, and then slide it across the screen from edge to edge. I can confirm that it works on the AT&T version.
Ok i guess the US version. Doesn't have the pause music by covering with hand feature. But the motion feature did work when turning the phone over which isnt convenient. The international version has two features that i wanted, video editing and pause music feature. I can confirm the karate chop swipe screen shot worked after a few tries.

I just got my Note Sunday, and the left to right hand sweep works perfectly right out of the box. Hmm now why is it not working for you.
I finally got it to work! Looks like the US Version has the feature. While playing music from your player, have your hand flat down on the screen and it should pause the song until you release it. The motion setting doesn't need to be on for the feature to work.

pausing doesn't work with other players only stock
Hey guys
First time poster, long time reader.
Basically I was wondering if anyone else thought SOME the motion options for the SIII were abit, shall we say, crap?
The double tap for the top of a list doesnt work on anything but stock apps??
The swipe to screenshot is very cool, but often I swipe to a different page before the shot has taken.
Also the waving infront of the screen to silence music is questionable.
The only ones that are decent IMO are the one where where your on a contact and put it to your ear and it calls, thats cool, and the turning the phone over to silence.
Anyone else notice this? Any tips on getting them to work better?
Yeah some seem to be a huge flop, I like the screenshot one and the camera unlock, You could always try recalibrating your G-sensor to make it more accurate. The way I look at it is most of it's really a novelty and is more annoying than good.
Whats the camera unlock one?
Ill give the sensor recalibrate a go, see if it helps
The unlock into camera is rather useful, it works by clicking your power button once on your phone to show you your lock-screen. then you put one finger on the screen and turn the phone from portrait to landscape and the phone unlocks into the camera application. this has its limitations still, for instances you can't make it unlock into a third party camera application and if you have a motion, face, PIN or no lock it will not work.
so i just upgraded from an old lg optimus 4x hd phone (android 4.0.3) to a new xiaomi redmi 4 prime (android 6.0.1) and what is annoying me most is a strange software effect filtering all input motion from the touchscreen.
for example when im trying to scroll in settings menu, but moving the finger slightly up and down, the motion is getting filtered completely. when trying to scroll slowly the lag/filter is most annoying. with android 4.0.3 this doesnt happen, all motion input from the touchscreen is getting directly forwarded without any delay/lag/filter.
this touchscreen input filter behavior also occurs in apps like for example realvnc viewer, with android 4.0.3 its pretty easy to accurately control the cursor, with android 6.0.1 its almost impossible to control the cursor because all touchscreen input motion is getting filtered/delayed.
is there any way to disable the touchscreen motion filter behavior and make the touchscreen input to be direct like it was in previous android versions like android 4.0.3?
I have now uploaded 2 Videos of the Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime and LG Optimus 4X HD which in comparison should show clearly what i mean with "touchscreen input motion filter":
youtube.com/watch?v=qgLqw47wsjY
youtube.com/watch?v=_ac1RgK2Xhw
At 0:00-0:37 (and especially at VNC Viewer test 1:21-1:53) you can clearly see how the Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime creates some kind of a "smooth-scroll-effect", it continues scrolling very slowly, even though the finger has already stopped moving. This clearly must be a software effect, i cant imagine a hardware problem.
At 0:37-1:21 and 1:53-2:36 you can see, how much the touchscreen has got an input travel almost like the steering wheel of a car, smaller up/down/left/right movements are just being ignored and filtered out. Also here i can only very hardly imagine that this is a hardware issue, for me it clearly looks like a software effect.
I also tested 2 other Android 6/7 phones (Cubot Note Plus and Homtom HT17 pro), both show exactly the same behavior as seen in the video of the Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime.
The questions that im now asking myself are: Where does this touchscreen software effect come from? What is it called? And how do i remove it? (If necessary, i also agree to root/unlock or install a custom rom on my Xiaomi phone)

Try SGS touch screen booster app.
It let's you adjust the motion filter amongst other touch latency Android touch settings and you don't need root.
I'm aiming for as close as I can get to iPhone iOS touch response...
Still playing with it but this is where my Honor 8 is currently set.
Couldn't be happier with the results
Dear members/owners!
I am considering buying the Mate 10 Pro or Honor View 10.
One thing that keeps me from the purchase is the lack of front reader on the Mate 10 Pro.
Basically, I have fallen in love with the P10 Pro's front reader's gestures. It's so great to get all that extra screen estate. But, if there is a workaround/solution for the Mate 10 Pro, I am sold. (The AMOLED panel means better battery life, it has +250mAh juice, and it also has a barometer and a better GPS and OIS.)
I saw a Youtube vid about the Oreo EMUI, that you can place this little circle on the screen, and control the device through that. (I.e.: return to homescreen, etc.)
My question is:
- Is this circle the only way of alternative controls? Are there others?
- Can you use a PIE control (with or without root?). If you don't know what is it, it's a program that hides the bottom navbar, and you slide up your finger from bottom to get a virtual controller. It worked amazing on my G Pro 2.
- I know the fingerprint sensor can pull down the notification bar, but can it do more?
Thank you all!
The Pixel 6 only gets 2x digital zoom with it's main sensor whereas the Pixel 6 Pro will zoom until 4x or even 8x digital zoom before switching to the telephoto sensor. Is there any way to bring more digital zoom to the regular 6?
The P6P zooms 0.67x to 20x on the side with 3 sensors, 0.85x to 10x on the screen side.
While I'm not running the google image (google free AOSP here), I recall the camera application had some buttons to quickly switch between resolutions. 0.7x to the wide lens (middle position), 1.0x and 2.0x to the main lens (side opposite flash), 4.0x to the telephoto lens.
I don't remember this exactly, but people are saying that the screen side camera has quick zoom buttons showing 0.7x and 1.0x, even though it is 0.85x per the HAL (on the P6P), therefore it looks like Google is mucking with the values being presented to the users. Probably because they think it looks better to have the wide ratio match and a whole number for the sensor switch.
In reality, it switches to the telephoto lens at 4.3x. BUT, it can ride the main sensor all the way to 20x if the proximity sensor reading is "near"-ish.
It picks the sensor based on a combination of proximity and zoom level, and maybe even other factors that are not yet apparent.
Anyway, the quick buttons shouldn't be thought of as the ONLY zoom levels that are reachable. As far as I understand it, even the P6 (non-P) should be able to get the high digital zoom levels. I'd suggest you try to use the pinch gesture to zoom out and see how far it lets you go.
