Thinking on getting rid of my Note 3 and getting the M8. I wanted to know if it has the ability to change the source on a TV and navigate through the menus with arrow/enter buttons or something? Also, can you control it from the notification shade? See the attached pictures of what the Note 3 has.
Thanks!

Yes it controls my Samsung plasma and led TV. Input controls all work. No on the notifications screen.
It does have a feature for the notification pull down. IMO, the HTC remote app is far superior to that of Samsung's watch on.

LOL Yes, it does. And a very cool HTC TV app to control it. I find it funny this is now a huge deal...I remember doing this with my OLD Palm Treo 650 back in the day...and then the backlash for a long time on how an IR blaster is useless yada yada and phone companies got rid of them basically and now it has come full circle.
Also funny, off point, with all the tablets/swivel screens/fold back laptops/tablets now are the rage. I remember back in 2003 my company bought a bunch of these Toshiba Protégé laptops, which apparently was a decade ahead of it's time as those things never took off.
This is true , I have both phones gn3 and m8 ,but tv remote on m8 is for more superior to gn3 . Controls my fios Motorola eve,Samsung smart tv and Sony surround sound . Like a champ

The tv app on the M8 is loads better than watch on, on my S4. Better range as well. It pulls all the channels from direct tv.. kinda like the Netflix layout. The volume rockers control volume on tv and you don't have to move from the attached screenshot to select channels. So, you can go to a particular channel and not have to " go back" to continue browsing...I'm actually using this. Every time I think this device couldn't get better, something pops out lol. Love it.

Is it possible to have the screen turn on when I get a notification ( I hate to say it but like the iPhone does you what I mean) ? Or what I need a third-party app to do that

By sub I mean an option inside a main option in settings... I know if you go to the message app like your going to send a text and hit the menu it will also bring up message settings too... It has been a long time since I've been on sense but I'm sure I saw that option somewhere.. Sorry for being so vague...
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
No worries.
Yeah looks like the only setting is to show message on lock screen, but nothing to actually turn screen on when it arrives. I really only want this because I always have my phone on silent. When playing Xbox with headphones I miss everything but I guess that's a good thing lol.
Anyways thanks for the help

I don't ever remember hearing about that option built into a rom--
But, as Google is your proverbial friend--maybe this--it is for text messages, maybe something else available for more notifications--

I use this app, simple and does exactly what it says it does. Turns on your screen when you get a text, nothing more nothing less.
I bought the pro version, there is also a free version that does the same thing.
There used to be an stock option in sense, I'm not sure what version they took it out in.

You can also do it with Tasker (and a lot more).
Is there a way to let another phone see what is currently on my screen? Kinda like Skype let's you mirror the computer screen.

Do want this to be a static thing, like here is a screenshot of my screen or like full motion video type of sharing?

Think you're expecting too much of a phone to be able to capture a full motion screen, encode it and transfer it over wifi to another phone. I can barely do that remote logging into my desktop from my laptop 5 feet from the router and youtube videos stutter remotely.
FYI, why do you want to do this or what are you trying to do?
Ahh that's disappointing, but thanks for the help. I was trying to show a cousin, with the HTC DNA, some things from my phone, but over the internet

Sounds more like a PowerPoint than VNC. Since you're creating presentation and sharing them, rather than sharing your screen.

Be more promising if the page was consistent and they could spell their own app name. It goes between Swipe and Swype (like the keyboard) unless they did that on purpose so people find it googling for a swype keyboard and find this app and they hope they install it.
I found a neat, but insanely infrequent easter egg :sly:
When you go to settings> about phone and tap the 4.4.2 box it takes you to a "K" screen. (Not the easter egg)
Tap or long press the "k" and it takes you to the "kit kat" screen (still not the easter egg).
Long press that and it takes you to a screen that is reminiscent of windows phone.(almost there!)
When you press the tiles they fly in and out and change. The images on the tiles represent the OS designations from Donut to Kit Kat. If you play with it long enough though you will find, (here it comes!!!) A Key Lime Pie tile. It is VERY quick, just long enough to notice it, I've tried to get a screenie of it but samsungs slide to capture is just wayyyy too slow. Just thought that might be interesting to some, seeing as everyone was hyped up on this OS being designated Key Lime Pie. Well played, Google. Well played.

just curious as to why you use slide to capture screenshot. why not just press the power button + home button combo? much faster

Because I had no idea about the hardware capture option. Lol, Samsung Haas spoiled me with its fancy motions and what have you.

I'm noticing that when the screen is off and I tap toward the top of the screen the phone screen turns on. I just noticed it today but it happens every time I tap the top of the screen. Also when the screen is on and I hover my finger toward the top part it selects buttons on the screen as if the sensitivity is high up there. Thinking of returning the phone for a new one but wanted to know if others had this problem.

It could be a problem with your sensors I'd call Samsung or take it back to sprint

I would boot in safe mode and confirm it's not a third party app before taking it back. Also poke through all the settings to be sure motion and accessibility features are off. Safe mode instructions for the s3 or s4 worked for me. I forget how to do it but Google is how I found it

what app was it?
Am I an idiot or is the only way to record a video is turning off the screen and then holding it landscape and hitting volume?
Whenever I hit the camera app while it is unlocked, it only gives me camera and selfie options. I can't find any video recorder shortcut.
This is on the latest firmware (after the OTA).
If you open the camera app. Tap the button in the lower right, you should see a page with options, one of which is video

There's no button in the lower right.
The button on the lower left only gives me selfie and camera.

I just got the phone today and haven't done anything.
Back to the store I think, probably something wrong with the phone software, but if you haven't altered anything, they should just exchange it.

I figured out the problem.
It's cause I changed to the Google Now Launcher.
Can't believe the camera relies on BlinkFeed...
Is there any way to get around this? Or any other launchers that don't do this?
I'm using apex launcher, with a shortcut to activate blinkfeed, like it a lot, no issues with the camera or anything else that I've found. Glad you got it working.
