a little thing i noticed - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

when your phone is idle (screen is black) swipe you screen without touching it. shows you time, battery,calls, and messages. just a little thing i noticed

I'm stupid... Cant make it work
Sent via Tapatalk

make sure that you hover swiping the camera. you can tell it worked because the notification light will be blue. also check settings. it may be an air gesture

I finally got it to work It's in the air gesture settings.

You don't have to swipe - just reach towards the phone.
Also, it doesn't seem to work when docked/charging (still playing with that part).

Do these air gestures drain battery??
Also, I realized this particular function ONLY works if the device is sitting flat on the table. Man, Samsung really thought a lot of these features through lol.

Weird, but ok. It would be convenient to leave the screen off on the dock (since you can't STOP IT from turning off the screen after a while) and reach out for this...

Aha! It is an air gesture! I got it on... Now to get it to work...

It was pronounced to be an rotation lock switch, but it didn't make it into the final product. Don't know why though, for me it would come quite handy sometimes...

Probably because the initial design was to include Gingerbread but now Honeycomb has been chosen which already has a software screen lock

All android versions (at least 2.1+, not sure about earlier versions) have software screenlock in settings-> display. But a hardware button is more universal to use, no matter whats on your screen right now.

+1.. tap the time in honeycomb, and then Settings on the little tray pop-up. one of the options in the bigger list is to lock the screen orientation

[APP] Call of Duty Elite now available!

For those waiting for the Android version to be released, it was this morning! Unfortunately, it appears to be just a port of the iPhone version. Our Android keys (Menu, Home, Back, Search) do not work. So bigger screens may have an issue reaching the in-app keys at the top of the screen. Other than that, it's pretty well polished. Changed some classes this morning and sent them to the game.

Ah the ever classic PP90M1 class. Put some rapid fire on that baby, be ridiculously overpowered (and be left without a bullet after 5 kills...).

Lol. I've tried rapid fire on it before. Took it off immediately. That's my Drop Zone class. Although I usually switch between the pp90 and the mp7.
EDIT: Found the APK, HERE it is if anyone else needs it.

Call me a noob, but I'm all about the pp90m1 with rapid fire. I keep hearing people complaining about how it's overpowered as if they couldn't play with it themselves... Good times

Great app use it daily

I concur. I use it every day as well.
Dear Rick, thanks for the cool app, just let you know that on my new Note 5, I can not import the fingerprint indicator from internal memory even i saw it, but nothing happens when I choose, the indicator unchanged. Can u keep a little bit attention on that? Thanks again Rick

Hi. I got one other report about this. I am not sure if the person was using a Note 5 :$. Could you contact me via email? You can find my email address on the about page in FingerSecurity or on the Play Store page
Very good app, I use it daily since I had the Galaxy S5

Hi Rick,
Really digging this app. There is one minor annoying thing that is happening. When I turn on my screen the application looks to jump to the top of the notification list. When it does that it moves everything down, which causes a bit of shutter on my lock screen.
Have you heard of this? Also, PM if you want a video for this great application.

Samsung Galaxy Note keyboard app

Hello all.
Just a random question on a previous rom on the note 3 sprint one of the developer (Sac) had a keyboard app that would allow you to draw using your spen and send it .
I haven't been able to find it. Does anyone know of any key board that would allow you to write for text message and send out pictures that have been drawn on the keyboard ap.
Thank you
Just hover your pen over the text box, then click on the icon that pops up. That will let you write your texts.

Yes I know that part but there was another keyboard that would allow you to draw something and it would send out the picture you drew. Example I would draw hearts on the keyboard and send the heart hand drawn, or if I would draw something I can send it ...

Yeah i remember that! Sac's rom was cool! I used his, freeza's fre3 rom, and kitkatkiller (formerly jellybomb), and the drawing pad overlay was really cool! I can't say I've seen anything like it lately tho...it's Sac still around? Maybe he'd be willing to try porting it to our 5's?

I agree with you it's so good but it uses all the pixels on amoled screens so it uses more battery.
Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk
Great app but it prevents deep sleep so as a result battery draining......
Thanks!!!

does not work. N920c screen turns itself after 3 seconds.
In some cases these sort apps needed. There are so many apps on PS like this. STAY ALIVE is best, it has some good options.
works great.
Work great ut my attery dead very quickly.
lost 3% in one houre
3% isn't too bad :/
Awesome. I would agree that the clock pixels need to shift to prevent burn in on the Amoled screens. The double tap to wake would be very useful. I am missing that and the back buttons a lot from my run with LG the past few years.
It's work but when you have phone call, it's not show you the caller screen until you push the power button for accept/deny the call.
Works okay on Note 5 but:
1) "Screen Off Memo"does not work
2) For some reason when I slide the phone into an i-Blason holster it turns (the always on app not the phone) on and stays on
-I have tried many thins to get it to stay off but it will stay on the whole time it is in the holster.
-If I just hold the holster up to the light sensor is turns off but as soon as I slide it in it turns on and stays on
-I made sure that the phone is not pushing any buttons and I even slid a piece of paper between the sensor and the holster and it turns off
as soon as I remove the paper it turns back on, but there is no way light is getting in
Really, weird.

Has anybody seen this? I am trying it right now looks very promising !
Edit- well the battery drain with this app is also around 3% per hour which is too much....
basically, after extensive testing, this app drains batttery and isnt what everyone hoped for. .. a big unfortunately i must say, as the app is quite nice indeed.

Agree, the irony is you can literally see your battery percentage going down. , otherwise an awesome app. Dev needs to concentrate on saving battery instead of making new themes/ fonts etc.
