Problems with double tap - Samsung Gear S

I can not change the double tap feature to anything other than the screen that shows screen brightness and volume control. It allows me to select other options in the settings menu just will not apply them once I've left and tried the new setting I have chosen. I have tried resetting the gear, no luck. Anyone else having this problem?

I love it I had the gear 1/gear 2 now this it works great for me music is loud vibration is very strong I love text/calling ect . and yourself

It's pretty sweet. I used it today at the gym by itself and walking the dog. Made calls and texts. Answered emails, music. I kept holding off each time they released a new one. Really thought about the fit or neo. But you like this much better than the others? I'm 6'5. 230 and I feel it's big on me. Has to look huge on smaller people.

Double tap settings changes apply to the home button. That's what you mean right? The display settings it sounds like you're describing come up when you double tap the screen with two fingers. That can't be changed as of right now.

That's it! Thank you so much. I was double tapping screen.

Facial Recognition locking app

I found this app in the Samsung GS2 forum.
From what I understand this app is also available through the android market. I am not taking credit in anyway for the development of this app just liked it and decided to post it here for us too use.

Thanks for sharing, this is great. But one gripe, it puts an icon in the notification bar and of you drop it down and select it, it takes you to the setting so anyone can change the settings.

If you turn off the lock notification, you cant launch the app from the pulldown.

Thank you, that works! Also in the setting you can check off the app also so if you try opening the app itself, it is also protected..I should have thought of that lol.

It works its just that my brother and mom can get in with no problem. Haha I'll test it out on some friends to see if its worth keeping.
thanks alot cool app works great on my 3vo
I have tried it with a few friends it kept them out. Not saying its perfect but you can also try raising the security level to high. Just makes sure you take a variety of test pics in different lighting for the best results

I found a flaw though. On sense 3.0 if the application you have locked is on your lock screen, it somehow opens the app anyways, therefore this app is useless.

Are you sure the app was running? I just tried my lockscreen and it locked it for me. Make sure you have the notification on and that the icon is in your notification bar, so can make sure the app is running. Something else you can try, there is a setting that allows you change whether or not you have to constantly unlock it or unlock one app and it stays unlocked

you can turn the setting off where it stops prompting to Face Rec every time you turn off the screen and open the app.
I cant wait for it to be used in conjunction with the lockscreen/unlocking the phone...
It makes me feel like im somebody off of mission impossible or something...

I figured out a workaround...
Install "Agile Lock" (free on Market, and a Sense 3.0 lockscreen that's meant for AOSP ROMS normally) https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.SenseScreen
and set the app to activate when used...
Profit.
R WE NOT PHONES?!?

I set this to lock golauncher, which works well as phone wont launch after unlocking it until face verified. UNLESS, you slide an app to the lockring, then it bypasses it and I think crashes visidon, becuse i then have to open the app and back out to make it work again. Would be a sweet app if this was fixed.

CM7 back button

I recently reflashed CM7 and I remember being able to long press the back button to force close an app. I can't find this in settings, could someone tell me where it is. Also, I now have a clear button on the bottom of my notifications. How would I remove this

Ummm, the "Clear" button? As in translucent? I didn't know the X2 had a clear button.
I have power, volume up and down, menu, home, back, and search.

Ah! Got it! Yes, that is to clear all temporary notifications. Like email and text message notifications (there are many, many more that flash a notification to the status bar).

Yes, but it's annoying. How would you go about removing it.
One other question. The 3g tethering in CM7, is that through the carrier. Will Verizon change me for using this, our do I need to use a separate app to get around fees.
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
No, it's not through Verizon. If it were, it would take you to there sign up page when you use it. I doesn't. Will they catch you if you use it? Who knows. I don't imagine you'll draw any more attention if you use it than you would with any other tether app. My guess is, if you don't go crazy with it you'll be just fine. Could be wrong though. Personally, I don't worry about it. But then, I only use it when it's absolutely necessary.

How could we go about removing the clear button? One way is to open your notifications...ie: text, email, etc... The other way to remove it completely would be to disconnect from mobile data/wifi/internet... An easier way could be to smash your phone, but I don't suggest that...lol
What is annoying, the notifications or the buttons???

So in the Play Store app, in settings, you UNchecked the option "Auto-add shortcuts"? I ask, because you said you unchecked "create shortcut", but I don't have that option with that exact name on my phone...
is it the same app creating shortcuts or all the apps you [email protected]?
if it is one app, if it creats shortcut everytime you run it, it is created by application. If it creates sjortcut everytime you downloaded and inatalled it, it is created by play market.
are you using touch wiz home or 3rd party home app?if it is 3rd party home and was told no room on screen while actually you have, there may be some incompatibily and you can try other home app or report the issue to developer.

[Q] All apps in multitasking window issue

I've been having a strange issue with the multitasking window. I hit the "edit" button to add apps that I want to multitask, but when I drag an app into the drawer it magically switches to a different app. It doesn't seem to have any kind of pattern either. It will just switch to any random app. Anyone else had this problem yet?
This appears to be a common issue with many of the multi-window mods.
I recommend the multi-window module for the Xposed framework as it corrects this problem.
It can be found here:

You need to clear data for com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService.
Then it will be fine.

T-Mobile Galaxy S5 Tips and Tricks Thread

Galaxy S5 Tips and Tricks Thread!
So there seems to be one of these thread for every device on XDA so why not start one for the new Galaxy S5!
Here is a few things to start off,​
Missing the menu button? If you long press the new recent apps button it opens the menu!
To access developer options, navigate to settings/about phone and tap the build number 5 times!
Once in developer options, Samsung has left in the ability to switch to the new ART runtime which may give you a performance boost!
Most people should know this by now, but to access the kitkat easter egg, go to settings/about phone and tap the Android version 5 times.
cTo access recovery/download options, its the same as its been since the S2, hold down either volume down for download mode or volume up for recovery and hold the home button while pressing the power button.
There are many flagship apps that Samsung (for some reason) has decided not to ship with. Make sure to go to the Samsung store to install them. The S5 does support S Note, S Translator, WatchOn and many more!
Also, check out the Galaxy Deals section for specials on premium services such as Evernote Premium.
You can change the layout of the settings between grid, list or tab view but tapping the menu on the top right.
If anyone has any more feel free to post them!
Anyone try running ART? Thoughts?
What is the difference between ART and the Dalvik Cache? Why does ART improve performance?

For anybody unaware, Samsung has been giving a 50% off discount on accessories from their website when you register your phone, and sometimes free cases, but this time it's the discount. I plan on ordering a wireless charging kit, with the 50% it should come to about $35

How did you get Shealth to work? This has been confirm by several other people that once you install Xposed framework, SHealth will force close. I have also tested many things including clearing data, uninstalling etc. and it still force closes.
