Text message air view issue. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Is it me or only certain text msg you can hover your finger above it and read the message but it only works on some of them?

If the whole message fits in the lockscreen preview, then it won't work. Otherwise it should.

Exactly what I was going to post. The only time that will show up is when the SMS content exceeds the preview. If the message is more than the preview can display, you will get the air view. If the entire body of the message fits in the preview then you won't get any air view preview.

[APP] SyncSMS - Synchronize text messages between tablet and phone

I had this in the Xoom thread because it was Honeycomb-only, initially, but now it supports all Android tablets:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010597
Broken link?
fixed link, thanks!
The UI is greatly improved, few things I would suggest in which you might already be changing or know about: the right justification on the sent out bubble, customizable colors on bubbles, customizable background on conversation side, theme support , a sliding divider that allows us to hide most of the contacts side and open up more screen space for the conversation side, so when you touch the divider you drag to the left stopping to where it still shows the contact pictures so we can scroll and pick another conversation if need. Also, I like how it shows if it was synced, sent or received but i get a lot of doubles on the sent and synced when should only show one.

[Q] Whatsapp messages on lockscreen

Hi all,
is it possible to display new whatsapp messages directly on lockscreen? (like on ios? Display lights up if new message comes in and i can read message directly on lockscreen, thats what I want.
Bought some apps but nothing works fine :-(
Sorry for my poor Englisch...
For directly showing message on lock screen it depends on the ROM I think.
Is there any rom for my desire hd available?
I am using virtous quattro with ics at the moment.
You need to post this there.. I don't have desire. So, can't say.
I think widget locker is what you need. I use handcent for sms, and it gets through the lockscreen just like you describe.

The lockscreen code is either part of the framework.jar or the systemui... and if the device is not rooted, you cannot change it.
If you are a programmer, what you could try is to create a new window (for example with the WindowManagerImpl hidden class) trying different window types: window types define the layer where the window will be placed. For some window types you might need some special permission (for example I think TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY will be placed above lockscreen, and it needs the SYSTEM_DIALOG permission)
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Currently there isn't an (lockscreen-)app that allows that. If you are a programmer you can always try to make it yourself, like mentioned above. But be warned, it's going to be a hell to create it
I´m not a Android programme
There is an option in the settings of whatsapp "turn on the pop up messages" check that box n u are good to go
i know this option, but it´s still behind the lockscreen...
Hey guys!!
This pop-up message, allows you to answer the message even with the lock screen. I think it's a lack of security because anyone can answer it if you forget your phone somewhere.
I've already try to talk with the developers of Whatsapp, but with no success.
On iphone you can only read and unlock to answer.
That's right, the popup feature when set to 'always' or 'only when screen off' shows messages and I think even allows replying from the lockscreen. You can't go view the full convo without unlocking though. This is the way it works at least in the latest beta from http://www.whatsapp.com/android/

[Q] Contact Pictures

Hi guys
I know this question has been asked before but can anyone give me a clear answer on contact pictures on the Xperia S? Is it actually possible to get large contact pictures to appear with the stock Xperia dialler? I've already tried out Full Screen Caller ID as a solution but it's pretty rubbish. I've used SyncMyPix by Neil Loknath and turned off syncing with Google Contacts (as I know this reduces the quality to 96x96 resolution apparently) and the pictures are high-quality but then only appear in a small square on the Xperia dialler.
Mine stretch to full screen width with a gray gradient overlaying the bottom when actually in call, but is it that you want them like that in just the contact view?
Anyways, dialler will no doubt change with ICS which is coming within 3 weeks(all going to plan sonys end) so just wait for that.
Well when I dial/receive a call the contact picture is in a small square in the middle of the screen with the person's name above it but when there is no contact picture assigned to the contact there is a nice large generic image of a person which stretches across the screen

[App] Write - a word processor for handwriting

Write is similar to other Android notetaking and drawing applications but provides a unique set of tools which ease the editing of handwritten text by grouping strokes into lines, much like typed text in a word processor.
Free on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.styluslabs.write
Write supports the S-Pen, although Samsung reserves the pen button for system-wide gestures.
Features:
* tools: draw, erase, select, insert space, and add bookmark
* move strokes and insert space in multiples of the page's ruling
* reflow handwritten text with the insert space tool
* insert bookmarks and label them with handwriting
* cut, copy, paste selection
* unlimited undo/redo jog dial
* pan/zoom with two fingers
* continuous scrolling of document
* customize and save pens
* user defined page size, color, and ruling
* pages can grow automatically as you write
* split screen with web browser to take notes from web pages or videos
* HTML/SVG document format viewable in any modern web browser (PDF export also available)
I'm not a regular Note user (I usually use Write on a 10 inch tablet), so I'd be interested to hear thoughts on how Write can be improved for use on the Note.

The items that do not fit on the toolbar in portrait mode (clipboard menu, show bookmarks, prev page, next page) should be available on the application menu. With the next update, the volume keys will be usable for prev page/next page.

Nice application! Thanks!
It would be cool to copy a document - so we are able to build some templates.

Good idea! In the next version, I'll add an option for opening a new copy of a document to the long press menu in the document list.

Nice work, great app ! Thanks a lot !
Thanks alot, i have been using this application as my primary note taking application on my note 2 for more than a month.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
This is the best note taking app I've used.
The ability to select and move text is great.
I often want to add information to some I've written previously. On paper, there would be scrawl and arrows all over the page. This makes everything so much neater.
It's also great for correcting things that you wrote earlier.
My go to note taking app now.

Very strange that Google Play claims it's incompatible. You can download the APK here: http://www.styluslabs.com/write/Write.apk
You may have to enable the "Force Pen" option in the Input and UI preferences (only GT-Nxxxx Galaxy Note devices are detected properly - this will be fixed in the next release).

Can I have iPhone type notifications? ?

Moved to this wonderful phone recently from iPhone and love it,however, I do miss a few things like making a window pop up in front of me when I have a message in notification bar. I've played with all the settings and also miss the new email or message counter rather than a small blue circle against the app. Bet there's heaps of ways! This thing can be modified to be anything! Cheers

You can have counters instead of the circle by going to Settings -> Notifications -> More Notification Settings and changing the method.
The popup is not possible by default in Android (would find that extremely annoying personally) but there are two options:
- Find a 3rd party app in the Play Store (search notification popup)
- Use the in-built popup feature for some apps like WhatsApp.

Fun fact. The pop up notifications are old Android features from 2 - 3 years ago that iOS adopted. So when you say iPhone type notifications they're actually from older versions of Android. ? They are now mostly reserved for messaging apps. You can get it working for messages and I'm sure you can find aps for the rest of the stuff. I have to admit that EMUI is not ideal for notifications.
