[Q] Air View hover and swipe gestures not working - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hi all. Just the other day I finally made the leap from my venerable Motorola Droid X2 to the Samsung Galaxy S4. While I have yet to root it, I was hoping someone could explain how I could get the air view hovering and swipe gestures to work. I've triple checked things are turned on, watch several youtube videos and nada. Is it a problem w/the VZW build, a feature issue in general or am I just an idiot? It's very possible it's me! Lol. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Now I don't know if any of these could affect it, but I am running Nova Launcher, Unity Launcher and Swiftkey. Not rooted and everything else is pretty much factory stock. I did try returning to the stock launcher and disabling Unity Launcher and there was no change.
Oh and BTW, I'm getting about 12hrs of battery, is that normal for this phone? I could go all day on my X2 so that's a bit of a letdown but otherwise this thing rocks!

No issue here...toggle on...in the settings there is a sub menu for air gestures and all the other ones.

I heard the air view hover feature only works in some apps. Where are you using it that it is working. I'll go through settings again to make sure I didn't miss something. Thanks.

Yea it only work w/stock apps like stock gallery and stock browser.im having non problems here yea sometimes it doesnt work but alot of times it does. I only use stock launcher and I get up to around 20hrs from full battery to 5%

Ok, so we're going to go with the I'm an Idiot option... While I thought I had these features turned on apparently I didn't dig down deeply enough into the sub-menus. I have it more or less working now. One thing I found is while the hover-preview works in text messaging, the top one is not responsive, but all others from the 2nd spot down to the bottom of the screen are. In email I don't have that issue though. Too bad it doesn't work w/gmail.

Yea it would be tight if it did lol

Ok, this is weird, so the hovering in text mesaaging is not an issue with the top conversation. For some reason it won't display comments from certain people regardless of thier onscreen position.
WAIT - figured it out - if the text message is small enough and already fits in the 1-line preview below the sender then the hover bubble does not pop up but if the message is greater than 1 line THEN it works - ok that makes sense.

So now that I have these features working, I just need to figure out how to improve battery. I'm going to install some battery monitors to see what the culprit(s) are that are sucking it dry and take it from there. I guess after that rooting it will be my next step.

lack of notification light workaround?

I just got my note and coming from the atrix with a notification light, I'm pretty let down this doesn't have one.
Does anyone know of an app or mod that can perhaps light up the soft keys instead? I know you can for the nexus S

get one of the custom roms in the dev section, then use BLN control app.

you can use the NoLED app from the market but beware that you need to test and configure it to best liking, cause even though it might look like the screen is off is not, it puts dots in the screen as notification, so for the time being before you decide to flash a custom rom, give it a try, I used it for a bit but noticed that if I had a notification on for a long time it killed my battery significantly.

This. I would get emails in the middle of the night, triggered the NoLED icon and keep my screen on all night. I would go to bed with 90+% and it would drain to about 30% in a few hours. Thank god it had the schedule function so you can disable it when you don't plan on caring about a notification.
Missed Message Flasher, which works for a dozen or two apps and general notifications. For Calendar notifications only I've switched over to Calendar Snooze because it gives more options for vibration, plus adds many options to snooze that the stock Calendar doesn't. I still use MMF for text and some other notifications.
Thanks to all the quick replies. I might try MMF, but will probably just end up rooting/flashing. I cant help myself lol. This note needs ICS...badly
NoLED has worked fine for me for well over a year now. I think the propblem people are encountering is not that their screen is on, it's that their phone is not able to enter deep sleep mode. The technology behind the screen is what allows this app to work without zapping the battery within an hour. Also most people charge at night so this is not an issue. Also noLED has a widget that makes turning the feature on and off a simple task. My phone lasted over 24 hours with no charging and had the noLED notification on at night so there may be more at work for those having issues with it, as I said I only saw it prevented deep sleep but did not trigger "screen on" time in stats as only a few pixels were actually on. I do only use the dots, not the big icons.
Unfortunatly, noLED would be your best bet at this time, IMO. BLN support is sketchy at best. Just make sure you have noLED setup so that it won't keep the screen on for hours on end and your fine. I tried to get BLN support working for the longest time, it was flakey at best on some roms, and all out didn't work with ohters that claimed to have support for it. And with ICS coming out today ( or so they say, look in the dev section for the posts ), BLN support won't exist anyway for a bit
Check out this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yryzWJ0p_cE
BLN control seems to work best for me. Bought the pro version so I could have even more control over the keys

Disable Screen Capture?

I have searched xda and Google but haven't found an answer. Does anyone know how to disable or remove screen capture? I tried freezing screen capture.apk in TB but that didn't help. I'm really tired of my pocket taking screen shots of my lock screen whenever I get a text. :-/

Uh, you could flash an aosp Rom...they don't have swipe screen shot feature, which is what iimagine is happening right?
On aosp it's volume down and power only, no swipe, or s-pen shot at all.
Not sure how to remove it though
Yeah that's what's happening. It didn't start doing that until I flashed the last ics leak and now it's doing it on the official release. It only does it if I'm walking around with my phone in my pocket and I get a text and only about 75% of the time then. I would use an aosp rom but I like having the spen functionality.

Do you want screenshots completely disabled or just the swipe screenshot disabled?
Completely disabled is much easier, as I just did a quick test and completely disabled screenshots.
What ROM are you using?
EDIT: Spoke too soon. I'm partially there...it doesn't take screenshots anymore, but it crashes SystemUI when you try to. I'll keep looking into it.
Since it happens on screen wake with texts, why not use SMS pop up from the market and disable notifications in the native messaging app. At least it won't wake in your pocket.
Honestly either way is fine with me, I don't ever take screen shots so I really wouldn't miss the feature.
I'm on the official att ics stock rom rooted and cwm.

I've been digging around in SystemUI and can disable just the swipe screenshot, but it crashes SystemUI most of the time.
This may be a dumb question but did you freeze or remove screen capture.apk when you were trying that?

Not a dumb question at all. Freezing the screen capture apk doesn't stop the screen shot from being taken, which is a little bizarre.
I should get some more time to work on this tomorrow. Might take someone better than me though.
Yeah I thought it was weird that freezing it didn't do anything. I was thinking maybe that apk is what is causing the crashes when fooling with the system UI.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
I worked on this some more today and its still crashing when I try to prevent the screenshot from being taken. I think another way would be to stop the phone from using the palm sweep gesture. That might be easier to figure out and I think is in framework.
That would work too. :thumbup:

G2 Bugs/Problems/Issues Thread *VIDEOS INSIDE*

so i figured starting a general thread for bugs and issues would be a better idea to consolidate everything into one thread!
I've got the Verizon G2, so it would be interesting to see if other carriers have the same issue. These are all, for the most part, software issues.
for me, its:
1.) Launcher Redraw.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpn-hZnEPqg (ending shows homescreen launcher lag too)
I've posted a video yesterday, and will be posting another today showing how after almost every app, the launcher is redrawing, and therefore causes lag if you goto switch screens after hitting home. doesn't always do it, but does for the majority of the time. it does it enough that it warranted me rooting the phone to try to fix it, so I'm going to give v6 supercharger a go soon and do the bulletproof launcher. I'm apprehensive though because we don't have recovery to make a nandroid...
2.) *solved*Lag on notification drop down on lock screen
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLWUXOu68d8
did you set your wallpaper to non scrolling? if you didn't know you can do this, you can. if you goto gallery and select a custom wallpaper, at the top it gives the option of non scroll or scroll, which is awesome. however, beware.. when you do non scroll, for some weird reason your notification drop down will lag in the home screen. setting it back to scrolling wallpaper alleviates this. very weird
3.) Audio during video recording.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU6Sp5V5Hv0 (also shown is the "breathing" auto focus we all experience.)
The audio during video recording uses noise cancelling mics, which can be good as we've seen in other flagship phones. however, on the g2, they sound identical to the htc rezound from 2011. that phone had really bad wishy washy underwater sounding audio when the source was remotely loud. the g2 does the same thing sadly. other phones, such as the htc dna (shows that htc learned their lesson..) and the gs3/gs4 do not have this issue.. hell, even the galaxy nexus didn't.
I'm hoping that once we get developers on it, they'll make a modified camera that can allow for either the reduction in gain from the microphones, or to be able to cancel the noise cancellation to stop the underwater sound. on the rezound, htc somewhat fixed it with the ics update. here's hoping LG will do the same.
4.) Speaker has built in limiter/compression.
this is most annoying because i like listening to music on the speaker. sounds good but the thing is its being compressed and limited at a certain level, so you don't actually hear the best quality of the song. for example if the drums get really loud, it compresses and limits them down to your volume level, which takes away intensity of the song and just doesn't make it sound even. hoping to find a setting to turn this off...
5.) screen brightness changes with Auto brightness off depending on what's on the screen.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slwkFhpiYbs&feature=youtu.be
this is that content adaptive brightness crap that they forced on the phone. it changes based on more whites or more blacks on the screen, then dims and brightens accordingly. it's incredibly annoying and there's currently no way to turn it off. in titanium i found an app called content adaptive back light and then i removed it.. it still does it.
what issues are you having with it?
Sent from my LG G2 using Tapatalk 4
my wallpaper doesn't scroll and when I pull the notification bar down I don't have any lag.
I'm gonna post the video when i get home from work. it does it every single time I have non scrolling on the stock launcher, and once I switch to scrolling, it's smooth again. remember, this is on the lockscreen.

Really? when i was playing with the verizon version. the homescreen/app drawer was still transparent with a wallpaper i had downloaded from goodfon.com. when you went to apps it went away. but kept at transparent on the ones i stated. i guess i'll find out tomorrow when my G2 arrives.

Yes this is unfortunate and unreliable. I wonder if an update can fix this. They may worried about it being too sensitve.
On another matter, my Verizon version is prone to turning on the camera or note pad when in my pocket via the rear buttons. Even prone to turning on the phone when sitting on a table off because of the sensitivity of the rear buttons. Not sure if it is just the verizon model or both.

Your pic shows status bar shaded darker. I see truly transparent on stock wallpaper. There is a slight shading on bottom soft keys, but otherwise transparent.
Another thing I see -- transparent forces soft keys to be white regardless of what you select.
I got intermittent distortion with my Icon HD bluetooth headset during calls. Doesnt matter if the phone is in my pocket or just sitting on a desk next to me. This didnt happen with any of my previous phones (S4, One, Nexus)
Lock Screen Camera App Image?
Is this supposed to happen? If I start a swipe to unlock, the camera app image goes away, but then comes back...
Is this a shortcut to the camera? Usually if I swipe from an app on the bottom that is my shortcut.
yeah man swipe to the left to bring up camera like on stock android.

Where is that located?!?!?!?!? I keep seeing the an icon on the task bar that is a box with an eye in the corner and generally the brightness changes when it comes on, but I can't find any info on the icon. I think it might be that, not sure.
The issue I notice is when I get a text and click on it to go to the convo about 25% of the time it goes to the top of the thread and not the bottom where the most recent text is.....

What are some of the things you don't like about OC5?

The one that made me write this post is that when in some other program, like Internet browser, the notification area is changed, color wise. I can't figure out the logic behind that.
Battery life has been pretty bad after 24 hours too.
Voicemail not auto signing in, after using the Google master phone account user name and password.
With using menu, button, and back keys, the ui experience has changed dramatically. I've never had to have a settings widget to get fast access before.
I'm sure there will be a big learning curve going from 4.4.4 to 5.0 but this, IMO, is counter productive. This is coming from someone that has been with android for 6 years. Changing button mappings? Why?
I dislike the notification space being used up by the s finder and quick connect. I also dislike not having the menu key being the app switch key. Battery life isn't awful for me, but I do think it's a little worse.
Here something I do like though. For a long time I had an audio skipping problem that I assumed was a hardware issue. After the update it's GONE. I was so happy about that.
GPS Broken
The update has managed to break my GPS. Cannot get a lock
Washed out graphics
What I don't like about lollipop is the big washed out, flat no detail icons, and backgrounds. I realize that this is how they are going to get better battery life. By cutting down on displays, there detail and intensity. I noticed they have doubled up on there icons. One icon does many things, but you have wonder through the menu on the icon to get where you want to go. To me it looks like something you would see on a first generation smartphone, just saying !!!

I'm noticing app studdering while running without a reboot. Even when there are no apps in the app end screen, some games and music apps hiccup. Yes I'm running old versions of apps, mainly because the new ones are over bloated or crap or aren't hacked. I have old versions of candy crush and pandora and tunein radio pro. The reasons I'm still running them are that they are the last version that you could use the bump clock for lives cheat, unlimited skips and no commercials, and I hated the totally revamped versions.
I'm now running at 2% battery and things are unbelievably fast. Seems like no consistent performance so far.

General Notifications not working properly

Since getting my Pixel 6 I've noticed that notifications, in every way are absolutely horrible on this phone. So far I'm chalking it up to Android 12 (which I hate the interface of BTW, I can't wait for a custom ROM to fix this mess that Google gave us). From low notification volume (even if the volume is turned up) to not receiving notifications, to the notifications not synching to my Fitbit (which I had 0 issues with on my ROM'ed OP6) I seem to have a lot of issues with this Pixel 6. It is not rooted, just some standard apps installed, including aodNotify.
Also, does anyone else have the issue of when you swipe up and hold to go to the recent apps, it just shows you a zoomed out home screen and you can't swipe right to see recent apps? So no way to switch between apps or close them...very annoying.
Anyone else having issues with not receiving notifications or texts at all? I just had my girlfriend tell me she sent me a message, but I never go it at all. It would have been a basic SMS from her iPhone, and we're both on Mint Mobile (T-Mobile MVNO) in a major city in the US with 5G.
Notification work fine.
I would first look at aolNotify which clearly effects the notification system and is in beta testing.

I just uninstalled it, let's see if that helps, good call. I was just thinking if it's an aodNotify issue surely other people would be talking about it :\
I guess I'm just having a ton of different issues since being on this phone, that I'm eagerly awaiting TWRP and ROMs to come out.
Any news on TWRP? I had pretty much written it off, but I guess they are still working on getting A11 support. I think they had a working version for the Pixel 3a series that was released (beta testing) in the last month or two. I never bothered to try it because A12 was right around the corner.

I have this issue happen occasionally, both before and after installing aodNotify app. I'm using the buttons though, not gestures. Very weird.

No news as of yet, that I know of. But now that there's a working root and the firmware and kernel is released, I would imagine it is being worked on, or at least I hope it is. Just as custom ROMs, as I am hoping to run Lineage or CalyxOS once available.

Good to know it's less common using navigation buttons. I just switched back from gesture (I was trying to get used to it and adopt the new way of life lol, but guess not - back to the same old buttons it is!) and I have already noticed that the recent app menu has been working much better.

Yes, notifications have also been delayed at times as well I've noticed. I doubt it's the device, as hardware is hardware, and apps open/close quick and smoothly, browsing the web is no issue, as is scrolling on apps like Instagram in my experience. Though with this being the only phone (P6/P6P) with A12 so far, I guess time will tell if it's a device issue or Android issue. I still feel like it's a P6 ROM issue, and hopefully ROMs will come soon to resolve issues like this.
Just as an update, since uninstalling aodNotify and switching to navigation buttons instead of gestures my notifications have been better and my recents list showing has been more reliable. It's still a bit laggy when loading recent apps, but at least it's working more often now
One weird thing I've noticed with the notifications is when I swipe down on the status bar and tap the triangle to expand the notification, the window stays small but I can scroll the entire notification within it. I'll try to get a screenshot the next time it happens.
That's not normal and not what I am experiencing. A reboot doesn't clear it up? If not. it may be that you'll need to do a factory reset just to clear out whatever the issue is.
Ugh, I hope I don't need a factory reset. I had enough trouble getting my eSIM setup on Fi already. I haven't experienced the notification issue again, so fingers crossed, wood knocked, etc.
