Light flow and s4 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Does anyone know if light flow works with this phone or if there is a work around yet

It worked for me. But it turns in talk back which is extremely annoying. I had a Google voice extension for dash clock turned on in accessibility also and it did the same with talk back. Must be a s4 problem.

I couldn't get it to work. Light Manager was suggested to me and works awesome. Basically the same thing but free.

Light flow is working flawless for me. Loving how it works with dashclock as well.

I noticed that too, even when it was actually turned off in the system. Really annoying, I'll have to give the other one mentioned in here a shot.

The talk back thing is a samsung problem. There is a thread on the Samsung support forums where various devs of apps have been asking them to fix it for awhile but nothing has been done. Anything that uses accessibility seems to have the issue.

[Q] What App Turns off display when covered?

Hi guys, Ive heard about an app that will turn the display of the touchpad off when the display is covered (using official HP folio case). I am using the latest official CM9 nightly, I've tried searching for it but to no avail, any help would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks
Liam
There isn't one, because it would constantly have to be on, and enabled, and scanning, so it would most likely kill your battery more than it would help.
There's a thread about this in the Q&A section asking the very same question, and that's the answer given there. However, if you can find a way to make it work, please feel free.
Actually there is its called smart screen of if I remembered correctly and no it does not take as much battery

Thanks for that I've just downloaded it and will give it a go and report back.
Many thanks
Liam
I sit corrected. Thank you for that. I'm glad to be proven wrong.
Did anybody get this to work? I've downloaded it and so far hasn't worked .....either that or the proximity sensor on CM9 isn't working
I couldn't get it to work either, I tried to apps both similar in nature but neither would work. Would be good if anyone has any luck getting it to work to post their set up on here so others could try it. I tried it on stock official nightly.

The app uses a proximity sensor usually located next to the earphone of most cellphones. To my knowledge the touchpad has no proximity sensor so it won't work. Very useful app on any device though.

You sure it doesn't operate using the camera? I remember one which operated using the camera hence would not work on cm9

the touchpad has a proximity sensor....its in the right corner of the screen the side where the camera is, visible if you hover a led flashlight you'll see a circular red thing glinting.

hit thanks if that helped
the description for the app says it uses the prox sensor.....my guess is the sensor's drivers aren't on android for the touchpad yet
I don't think it's functional in android. It's not been a major priority. I tried a few apps that leverage the sensor, but to no avail.

I read this the other day and decided to use one called Case Switch. It uses the light sensor/ proximity sensor to determine if the light is low enough to turn off. Anyway, been using it for several days, love it! I recommend setting your lower min at 48lux. This setting allows for the screen not to turn off under evening low light settings. When I got this on Sunday the 24th there was a free demo and the pro version was $1.00.
Like I say, it works very well and its an excellent addition to or already amazing tabs.

I don't see any app in the marketplace called "Case Switch."
Edit: I'm assuming you meant Case Sensor? That app works perfectly for the touch pad.
Touchpad has NO proximity sensor, just an ambient light sensor for auto brightness. The small purple dot next to the volume rockers.

Messaging app initially flashes contact numbers then names

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue/maybe knows a fix. A lot of times, when I go into my Messaging application, the contact names initially show up as their numbers...then switch back to the names. It seems like the app 'refreshes' itself.
I used to have this issue on Android a while ago, but it seems like something this simple shouldn't be happening with 2GB of RAM and a quad core processor.
Not a deal-breaker by any means; it's just an annoyance.
Nobody? This is becoming increasingly annoying on a device that otherwise has wonderful performance.

Pretty sure its a sense issue. Get this on my rezound as well, and also in the call history, and caller id (phone number only sometimes).
I have the same issue which is why I stopped using the default messages app.

[Q] SOLVED Switching between calls ?

I feel kind of stupid but I used to have a swap button and now I seem to only have a record button and can't switch when I take a second call. Am I missing something, this seems to be the case in the regular dialer and in rocketdial

Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
I'm going to help get this back to the top cause I have the same problem. Not sure when the swap button went away but I'm sure it was there at one point. I can not find anywhere in the settings that would change this. Only things I have done is root via chain fire method, install twrp, flashed freeza's crt animation mod for the native wifi tether and his beastmode kernel. Have you done any of this? I would love my swap button back but instead I have to hang up with both callers then call back whoever it is I want to continue talking to and it is really getting irritating. Anyone have any ideas or the same issue?
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
Thank you. I don't feel so alone and dumb now. I rooted using the other knox safe method dela root and odined the same file in that post although my baseband and software say mi3 and the build says mi5. With calls that is the exact problem I have. I can now record a conversation when its on speaker phone but dont need that. Only other thing I downloaded was rocketdial for a while I thought that was it but uninstalled and have the same problem
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
I am finding it hard to believe out of 200 views we are the only ones with this problem. I let my phone update to mj4 before I rooted it. Have you installed the crt animations or a new kernel? We seem so far apart in what we have done to be able to make sense of this.

Hope the bump helps. I don't have the issue you described, but I am with Sprint on MJ4 - what root did you use?
Dela vega. Lets try this does everyone else have a swap button in the top left position or does it say record. Or do you have a record button that switches to swap when you answer a second call
And nothimg else installed for me

And I used chain fire to root. It appears we have both gone completely different routes yet still have the same problem.

Its hard to tell because I reset with De la vegas again. But the first thing noticed n Wanum was the record button checked and unchecked it calls work fine now.
Finally got to mess with the phone and wanam was definition the culprit. I can now swap between calls again. The issue I still have and not sure what happens on the stock rom, when I want to hang up with one person I tap end them it doesn't switch me back to the person on hold. Instead it acts as if someone is calling me and then have to answer the phone where that person had been on hold the whole time. Hope this makes sense.

Did you just disable the module this is frustrating I never noticed until today when I tried switching back to the first call I had on hold
It's under the phone tab. Uncheck add record button or something like that. Should work. I have since installed a rom so not 100%. Let me know if it doesn't work and I will reinstall it to see if I can find it.
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
I wish we could have both. I want call recording but also want swap. I use swap so little however that I live without it.
what I want is behind the scenes fully transparent over any connection bluetooth or speaker call recording in the background fully automatic.
I had this on my Touch Pro 2 (windows mobile) and its one feature I really really miss. it just "always" worked.

Double tap app?

Does any know of an app, something on wanam, or a mod that will let you double tap to turn the screen on? I've looked but haven't found much... Currently on Rooted stock rom. Thanks

Only option appears to be a play store app. The one called Tap Tap app seems like it does the job, but the reviews are less than stellar.
As my E4GT aged and the buttons became less dependable, many of us started using Gravity Screen On, an app I can personally report as highly functional, does the job (differently), yet takes a degree of patience to get it behaving the way you want (can drive you nuts, but get past that, and you may be pleased),
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree
As to natively doing this, I've seen it tied to kernels for HTC phones, the Nexus series (not just the LG variants, but the tablets, even the Galaxy Nexus), but as to the Note 3 specially or an Xposed module, nada that I can find.
Would love to have it. Wouldn't buy a phone without a replaceable battery or am external SD, but that is one cool feature. I hope someone corrects me on this and unearths something.

I'm pretty sure it's tied to the kernel.
Though I've seen it done with the internal knock sensors.
It can be a huge pain to get working reliably.
The screen at the moment has to be on to accept input.
It sounds like a cool idea.
Then reality sets in....
Actually if you could implement this without...
Errant random screen taps waking the phone.
Battery drain from having to keep part of the system up watching and interpreting screen taps.
Hmmm mm

That at least confirms my suspicion. At least you can give Gravity Screen On a whirl. The free version has full functionality, and your battery doesn't take too bad of a hit on the process. Like I said, it's not something you immediately love, but you can get used to it, and does the job well. It just doesn't work the way the swipe to wake or knock to wake features work.

Microphone issues?

I have consistent problems on speakerphone with people saying they can't hear me. I had a bear motion slim case on it but I'm not clear if that is creating any issues. Is there a hidden microphone anywhere that the case may be covering? Or do I need a warranty replacement?
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
It's weird, I've had certain people tell me this as well but others can hear me fine. Not sure what's going on, but I know that when I'm talking with someone who has trouble hearing me, if I put in my headphones it solves the problem. Maybe something to do with noise cancellation/echo reduction?
Do you have a case on or anything? I only have the issue on speakerphone.

I've been messing around with this more and it seems like the bottom mic on my device is really directional in the sense that it only seems to pick up audible sound when you talk right into it. It's definitely barely picking up anything when the phone is held normally as if for a call. The speakerphone mic seems to work fine.
EDIT: I finally took it back to the store and swapped it out for a new one. It was definitely a hardware issue as my new one sounds much better.
Same issue here and I'm not using a case.
On speakerphone only, I get complaints every single time that people can't hear me to the point where I have to switch back to handheld.
Noise reduction currently off but it's the same either way. Gonna pop into Tmobile on the way home and see what they say.
Anyone else get a warranty replacement?

For those who have a problem with this, I've been dealing with this issue since day 1. It seems to be a T-mobile problem and NOT a problem with the phone itself.
The software is set up as half-duplex and not full-duplex as it should.
That means that if the person on the other end of the line is talking or making noise and you start talking, they're not going to be able to hear you. I've tried this with my phone and a replacement phone. Same thing happened. That means that you will continuously cut in and out.
I'm currently talking to T-mobile and they have a ticket open with me to work with developers on the issue. I have no idea what happened but, as someone who uses speakerphone all the time, it's a MAJOR pain.
If anyone has more experience with this sort of issue, I'd love to hear it.
Hi Guys,
I'm having a problem along the same lines. I moved to Tmo a month or so ago when the S5 came out (ported from Sprint). The first couple of days I had great coverage but intermittently when I talked to someone, they'd tell me it sounded like I was in a tin can. At times it was hollow or echo-y. It kind of stopped, but then started up again. To me, everything sounds perfect. Now, randomly when I talk to someone, sometimes they can hear me without any problem, and sometimes they can barely understand me because of so much feedback coming through (even though I can hear them perfectly).
Tmo gave me a new sim card to use and said to wipe my cache to make sure everything was good. I did that and it worked great for about a day. Now, it's random again. I call land line and it sounds like I'm in a tin can and when they talk it's lots of feedback. I call friend on att and they have loads of feedback when they talk but perfectly fine on my end. I called someone on Tmo and had the HD appear on the call and it sounded like he was talking through a pillow.
It's so weird I can't figure out what's going on, but it's getting really annoying trying to talk to someone and end up calling them multiple times just to see if I can get a clear connection.
Bluetooth in my car seems to work perfectly for each end, though.
I'm on stock rom, rooted w/ philz recovery, and have not updated to the new ANES.
I don't use a case.
Wondering if that would help out.
Check this out might explain the mic issue
