Is it possible to extend the display timeout/number of seconds the S-View window is on for before shutting off? I want the display to be on for more than 10 seconds after I close the cover/case, but cannot find any way to accomplish this.
There's a S-View-Mod for the Xposed Module and for the Note 3. Don't know if this Module will also work with the S5. I'm testing it, when my Cover arrives. Maybe in this Module you can set this timer?

Thanks man, unfortunately I'm on Verizon so my device isn't rooted yet. Hopefully an exploit will be found soon and I can do that.
Hopefully someone will make a mod for the S5... I have s-view case and to be honest the stuff you can do on that screen is pretty limited. I'd like to see next calendar appointments, have a google now mic button, and some quick contacts
Yeah! That's what I thougt, too. Hey but you can change the Wallpaper without a mod. Isn't this great?
For those that are still interested, I emailed developer of the app in post #2 to see if he knows if this will work with GS5. Will let you know if/when he responds back with any useful info.

There are multiple threads on this forum discussing cases that you can get s-view with. There also threads talking about problems with non Samsung cases after your Note 3 is upgraded to Kit Kat and Samsung's software updates to fix this.
What I have not seen on this forum is a thread talking about how you can use s-view no matter what case you used to get it. Questions about the s-view functionality etc. So I thought I would start one off.
Over time I will try to update this post with what you should expect from S-view on the Note 3 and answers to standard questions, like how do you enable it and setup backgrounds etc via the 'Accessory' section in settings.
I love S-View and think it is a very useful feature.
Just to start us of though, one thing I was disappointment about was the mismatch in how incoming and outgoing calls are dealt with. With incoming calls the screen comes up and tells you who is calling and lets you accept the call with a swipe. During the call you can still see the details via s-view with the cover closed and perform another swipe to end the call.
With outgoing calls you open the cover to put in the number and then dial. At this point I normally close the my case. For me s-view will not engage though and treat the outgoing call in s-view mode as it did with the incoming call. So if I want to end the call I have to open the case and touch the end call icon. Don't know if everyone has this. I am still using Android 4.3 until the accessory fix is rolled out in my area for 4.4.
That is another question for discussion though. Are there any functionality upgrades / differences between s-view on 4.3 and 4.4? One I am aware of is that the home button can no longer be used to turn on the screen in 4.4 and therefore S-View. So I believe on 4.4 you can only use the power button? Can anyone confirm this?
Anyway I am hoping this thread will offer something new not covered by other threads discussing S-view on this forum, as they have been case specific.
So I've had the Note edge for about a week now. Now all of a sudden when I'm in the messaging app or eBay or most any other app. If I accidentally activate the edge screen it will not go away unless I exit the app I'm using and reopen the app. I have the Samsung wallet case I don't know if that may have something to do with it I didn't notice it before the case. Why is there not a setting to time it out. JUST AS I TYPED THIS I GOT A NOTIFICATION AND THE DAMN SCREEN WILL NOT GO AWAY. Anyone else having this issue or how can I fix it. I may just trade it for the note 4 if I can't resolve this.

There is a time out setting for the edge panel.
But what launcher are you using and have you tried removing the case and seeing if it happens.
Also what notification is it?
What launcher? What is that? Also I have not tried to remove the case and it does it in any notification or if I accidentally bring up the edge screen. and where is the time out setting

Since your unsure I would say it's the stock one.
And the settings are under
Settings > edge panel > information stream > time out.
if that doesn't work you can try to go into
Manage application and find cocktail and clear the default.
It will ease your edge panel settings

I just did that and it's still doing it. I don't know what to do. Also does anyone know how to get rid of the annoying call time while I'm on the phone and doing something else in another app? It is always in the way

Move it out of your way.
There should be an option to remove it. That's stupid to have to move a box around the screen. I have been able to swipe it a few times and take it off the screen but I cannot figure out exactly how I did it. Also problem resolved on my other problem I had to factory reset. not a good sign after I've only had the phone a week.
In touchwiz, during a call, there is a drop-down notification item that allows you to handle some call functions such as ending, muting, or returning to the call screen. This was very functional for work as I am often away from the call screen during a call, and also need to quickly mute as well.
Our default dialer (not even sure it's the dialer that handles this functionality), allows for hanging up and returning to the call screen from the menu, but not muting. Anyone know if there's a way to add this? I tried finding a screenshot of how this is done in touchwiz, but couldn't.
Thanks in advance!
I'm struggling with whether to sell this phone, or the Note 3. This functionality would tilt the scale towards the OPO.

This phone simply doesn't have that functionality. There's the possiblity that there's an Xposed module that might do it, but considering that Xposed isn't compatible with Lollipop that's probably irrelevant.
Just wanted to bump this as we have a new version of Cynogen. Still a pertinent question for me.
Just updated my gear s3 r760, all fine, new tizen it's very nice, minimalist and clean... But I can't going back swiping from top, it pull down panel every time... I searched for an option but I didn't find nothing... Has Samsung removed this gesture??

Noticed that as well. I had gotten quite use to that feature. Hope there is a way to enable it

Same here. Would really like to know why, and if there's a way to re-enable it.. :-/
Hope it is only a mistake... Was really useful, now I see every time the control panel... ? ? tonight will try to write to Samsung for an answer maybe if more people write to them they will listen us... Maybe...
Left handers left out in the Tizen experience.
So annoying. As someone who wears their watch on my right hand, this now makes the watch even more awkward to use as now we have to reach over the watch unnaturally to press the back or home buttons to go back. I wrote a forum post at Android Central about how Samsung/Tizen should look to Apple for how to take care of the 10% of their users that are left handed and wear their watch on their right wrist. I sincerely hope someone finds a way to either enable us to flip the watch (like you can on an Apple Watch) so the buttons face the correct/user friendly way, or allow users to re-enable this swipe down to go back feature that has been a part of Tizen for years.

I'm not left handed but I wear my watch on right wrist because I feel better so... And now as you say it is really annoying... Hope they fix this little issue soon...
Cannot turn off Auto HR as well. It is now missing in the settings.

You'll find that setting in s health on your gear, go to heart rate, click the three dots on the right and you can set to never, every 10 minutes or always. For me they had to add something like every one hour or personalized to user liking...

Unbelievable to me too. I would trade ALL of the new features (and I like them) just to have the 'swipe down to go back' feature again. I don't know how removing that feature got past usability testing.
I think they removed it so the button will break down faster and you will have to get a new watch eventually.....
I need this function, too! Cannot use my watch properly anymore. I don't want to be pushing buttons, I liked the watch 5x better when it was 100% swipable.

I find it rather amusing that I don't know what swipe down to go back feature you guys are talking about.in the first place.
I am very disappointed and will get rid of this watch soon if this feature does not come back soon. The swipe down made using the watch more fluid- imo
I never liked that feature. I always wanted to swipe down like I do on my phone. It's taken some getting used to, but I really like the new implementation.
I bought the Gear S3 primarily because I loved how you could swipe down from any screen and go back without having to press a physical button. I stupidly updated the Gear software and now the major reason to like this watch is removed. I, like a dummy, bought the Gear S3 at T-Mobile and now I'm paying like $15 a month for a smartwatch that I hate to use. I'm just venting because this is extremely frustrating.
This watch is going to be paid off and then sold on Craigslist or just tossed into the garage. I hate this thing now.

Before tizen 3, we can use swipe gesture to navigate back in every screen, now Samsung had removed it and we have to use phisical button... Not a big deal, but after some years we used to going back with this gesture, it's like restart from zero... It took some days to habit to new method, and every time I pulled down notification panel instead of simply going back... That's it
You guys should have read the changelog before updating.
It's stated clearly right there that swipe down now opens the panel on all screens.
That's thread is actually pretty funny.
I cannot screen grab it, but I cannot figure out either what this is, or how to stop it. When I resume the device from being locked, and attempt to input my fingerprint, sometimes, iit will show a bunch of notifications in a screen that resembles the drop down menu. I can"clear all", and then, swipe up, and use the fingerprint sensor on the 2ndary screen(I can either fingerprint or put in my pin).
Does anyone possibly know what this is, and how to rid myself of it? It must be some kind of new feature, because i never had this on my note 8.??
Much appreciated for any help or suggestions..

Have you got Samsung Good Lock, installed ...?
In particular Samsung " Notistar " thats included in Good lock or maybe you side loaded" Notistar" ( module/app ) it .?
if you look in the Notistar settings ( top right, 3 dots menu),you will see "Using in lock screen enabled " most likely grayed out?
It happened to me a few times ,but i managed to figure it out !
Otherwise if you can uninstall module or disable etc and test
Good luck

Yes I do have both the gods lock and the NotiStar enabled. And I also did as you stated and turned that iron off. I may just uninstall that module all together?
Many many thanks!

Good lock... no you don't have to uninstall.
Notistar.... not necessarily..
As stated i was also puzzled, as to what was causing this issue. Luckily, i recognized that it was Notistar, as it had that same transparent layer background, if you launched Notistar manually.
I still have Notistar even though I hardly use it.
I been using, another app.. similar, called Notification History Log (Play Store) the paid version.
What i did was, to turn off my lockscreen notifications.
This is my own preference, as i don't prefer
lockscreen notifications, as my Note 10 +is set to facial
recognition, plus i have Google smart unlock enabled.
eg. Samsung Gear S3 watch, car radio etc. is all set to smart unlock.
Plus, i use double tap from sleep.
So i don't even see a lockscreen.
Why then keep notifications for a lockscreen.?
Also in Device /Settings /Apps /Notistar i have permission to appear on top /over apps turned off.
I have created a Nova Prime gesture shortcut for Notistar if i want to see it.
Good luck
You know, lol, this phone is strange in its notifications. It is taking a while to get used toit from my note 8(maybe I'm just getting old). I Ihad this issue, and then I had an issue with this strange beeping whenI was connected-to my home network, So this note is taking some time to work out the bugs.
Anyhow though, for now, because of that, Iam just going to KISS principal the Notistar. Lol!
Thank you tons though!
