Anyone else missing the optical reader app? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Ive done some searching but I cant much and also I cant find it on the play store.

My s4 is missing it as well, I tried a factory reset because I hadn't really set anything up yet and it didn't fix anything.

yea also Im missing the WIFI toggle on my pull down menu

Verizon disables that Wi-fi toggle on their android phones. Instead you have an ongoing notification for Wi-fi

Tried to take the apk from AT&T's firmware, app opens for a few seconds then crashes.
Seriously? This and Blocking Mode? (I'm sure a few others I haven't noticed too)
Why in the world does Verizon like to remove things that don't even affect them in anyway?
Also they renamed Easy Mode to Starter Mode.

Verizon is 100% about reducing help desk call volume.
They remove blocking mode to prevent 'tards from turning it on then calling CS and wanting to return the phone because it doesn't always ring.
They remove optical reader because I am sure it will not read every single word that will ever be put in front of it, and they don't want the calls.
Don't worry, though...obviously this stuff will show up in custom TW ROMs.

[Q] - Disable screen capture sound

I am on the ICS leak (and have been for a little over a month now)... currently on .211. I have searched and searched and cannot find the answer I am looking for... so thought I would post the question.
Is there a way to disable the sound the phone makes when you do a screen capture (PWR + VOL Dwn)? I followed the directions to disable the camera sound (outside of the camera application) but the sound still persist, even while the darn thing is on silent.
Any clues on how to disable the sound?

This is where you would start. Start by moving to SD. Don't delete. Remember what you did. If the sound doesn't exist in the system then it can't produce what isn't there.

Is that the only location where system sounds are located? When I was viewing that last night... nothing stood out as the click (except the camera click sound).
Yeah I guess going through each of em one by one is the only option. Grumble. If none of those work... I am at a loss then!
I just changed mine to the camera sound from a nexus and it changed my sound associated w my screenshot too. Maybe its just tied together. Other than silencing your phone and then taking a pic I don't know exactly how to break it from there
if you are using samsung galaxy s3, you could try silent screenshot instead. simple and cool.

[Q] Samsung Dive

Has anyone got Samsung dive to work for the new S3?
I have set up the account etc but when I use the website to track my phone or call it etc nothing happens.
I am on the O2 network in London. Any help would be much appreciated.
I set mine up yesterday and it setup fine and all, but when I went to track it...it did indeed track the phone, but it said my phone as at my home address when I was sitting in McDonald's. So...not sure why it did that but that is far from accurate!!
Calling and locating it worked from me with the original firmware. After installing Omega I tried again and it still works.
I cant get it working. I go through the motions as per below:

"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...but remote controls stays "off".
Anyone who has managed to get this set up, at what point does that setting for on/off at the top become available please?

Probably silly question but have you slid the toggle to "ON" - I had that first time as well. Every time you slide the toggle over you have to re-enter your password again.
your 3G enable ?
I eventually got it to slide after various combinations of removing and re-adding the samsung account and ticking / unticking the location tick box

Upgraded to 4.3 and now notification tray gets false "Download Complete" notifiers???

Upgraded to 4.3 and now notification tray gets false "Download Complete" notifiers???
I'm hoping someone knows what's going on here and can help asap...
I upgraded my Sprint SGS3 using Samsung Keis the other day and all seems well, except this one big issue. Randomly (it seems whenever I get a notification, or the connection state changes, or I plug into power)the notification bar fills up with the "Download Complete" msgs. This is an issue because I can't see legit notifications in the bar, and/or I have to scroll to the bottom to see anything.
These file names *ARE* for files I had downloaded in the past, but not since well before the upgrade. I have gone so far as to delete the 'Downloads' folder altogether, no dice. Also, it isn't actually downloading the files again, just saying it did...
Any idea how I can stop this? Rebooting the phone is not helping at all. Is there maybe a cache somewhere I can clear that would help? This is a new SGS3 (replacement), so I just got finished resetting up my layout and all my apps and stuff, so I would **REALLY** like to avoid wiping it to factory...
Any help is appreciated. Thank You... :good:

OK Google voice detection/always listening

I am positively shocked this is not a larger issue. With the removal of the always listening options for Google Now this devices overall appeal has been greatly limited based kmy needs.
Does anyone in the community know why these features were removed or have any idea on if/when they will return?
with the newest version it's there if you put the widget on homescreen

I have everything up to date including google play services and have placed the widget on the home screen but am still only seeing 1 option. Which is to allow "OK Google" from the app.

That's not the same thing at all. For starters it takes a whole row of icons. Also it will only work when you are on that specific screen. It won't work if you have an app open and most importantly it doesn't work when the screen is off.
This certainly isn't a hardware limitation, but I think Samsung did this to get users to try the new (and greatly improved s voice). I bet their plan is to bring back Google always on detection in a later update after many people try out s voice.
Anyways in the meantime check out s voice, you might be pleasantly surprised.
I know..but all Samsung phones even nexus had have problems with that actual

Making notifications on LineageOS look and feel like stock N7105 4.4.3

I'm very new to Android and my elderly mum has a N7105 unit. It used to run a very ancient 4.4.3 (I think), but after numerous days and sleepless nights (technology is not my forte) following XDA threads - many thanks to this site - and watching countless number of Youtube videos, I finally managed to successfully flash Lineage OS 14.1 onto it and root it and it runs without a problem.
My question is, can I change the notification pull down thingy (sorry, don't know what it's called) to have the exact same style as the stock Samsung one? She needs to change between WiFi and 4G, but is visually impaired, so the stock one, with the words "WiFi" and "Mobile Data" was very clear and self explanatory. She dislikes the new one as the icons are too "2D" and flat. Also needing to press another minute button on the top right hand corner just to enable 4G is too troublesome for her.
So is there an app or something that can restore the pull down notifications menu to be very close or exactly like the stock one used on N7105? I realize that may be too much to ask, so anything in the vicinity of the latter would be fine (ie. S4, S5, J series) as long as it's early to mid 2010s.
I've tried Material Noticebar and substratum but none restored it to the way it was. All she needs is for the notificaiton pull down to look and function like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Many thanks in advance.
Edit: I'm prepared to pay for any apps/themes if it comes that that. Just need the notification pull down to look and perform like the above.
