Hi, a friend of mine just switched to the N5 from the iphone. He's looking for the ability, similar to the iphone, to swipe up on the screen when the screen is off to turn it on. Is this possible with the N5? I haven't seen it mentioned so I'm guessing it isn't an option. Thanks.

That's what he's telling me. He's been a long time iphone user, I never had one.

I'm googling about that feature and cant find anything about it.. are you sure he's talking about waking up screen when its OFF?

I also googled it but came up empty too. Guess I miss understood him, will check with him tomorrow. Thanks.
Yeah the iPhone definitely doesn't have that capability, at least not without some serious jailbreak hacks. Maybe he's just pressing the home button on accident when he 'swipes'.
IPhones don't have it. I'm 100% sure. But android does. You can slide across the screen or double tap to turn it on with faux kernel or Nexus Touch control (doesn't wok with the nexus 5 yet)

Are you saying that these kernels will eventually support it for Nexus 5?
I'm currently using Faux but I don't see that functionality anywhere.

Not yet, but it's possible it will support it in the future.
Yea... i used to use an iPhone (owned a 3GS and 4 before switching to Android with the Motorola Atrix) and never saw such a feature with those. Can't imagine that being something Apple would do. Unless, of course... Google decides to do it at some point. Then maybe Apple will do something similar 3 years prior.

Yeah. Pretty soon the kernel devs are going to start implementing those features just like in the N4.
Went back to my friend and told him the feedback. He forgot it was his BB Z10, not the iphone so that clears it up. Still would be a nice feature.
hi, I read that google now ("ok google") only activates when the screen is on. I was wondering if theres a hack or setting somewhere where you can activate it with the screen off? I mostly want this for hands-free use in the car, so I can avoid having to touch the phone while driving (big no no).
also, is there a site somewhere explaining all the features of what you can say/ask google now? or even a link with comparisons between siri and google now, and what google now cant do that siri does? I ask this cuz ill be coming from iPhone.
thanks.
I think that would really drain the battery - if possible!
However, here is a collection on some of the commands you can ask google now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961636
I'm really surprised how great it works! And i live in Denmark, where i can't even take full use of everything
samsung has had this with s-voice. and i think motorola enabled google now to do this on the motox but i'm not sure. yes it drains battery, but how much? depends on the cpu and driver and the software involved..... i don't have my nexus yet so i can't say "how" to do this but i would expect it to be an eventual custom feature if not a future update if it's not already in a setting somewhere.

Everything I've read has claimed that the Nexus 5 should handle this as well as MotoX since it has the Snapdragon 800. Have we ever gotten an official answer on why this won't work?

hey thanks for the link. battery drain wouldn't be too much of an issue, as usually I would just use it while the device is being charged in my car, but it would be nice to use sometimes without as well, and while leaving the screen on would be nice, a slow charging car charger, is going to charge faster with the screen off, as that's usually the most power hungry lol. so it would be nice to have the voice activation at will while using.
If some of the launcher/search code was open source, I'd imagine this would be quite easy to do.
Pretty sure I read somewhere that the 'always listening' (for "OK Google" command) requires some hardware functionality. So no, it would not be possible like it is on the Moto X.

i'd imagine you could port parts of the moto x rom into the nexus. things like this have been done before. just have to find all the dependancies.

I mean, if you had access to the facilities used by the n5 launcher source, you could likely utilize them when screen is off via software pretty easily.

Yes. But from what I understand the snapdragon 800 has that hardware built in.

Video is about 1/2 way down on the right. Processor is capable.
Lets see if I can't clear things up. If you want your phone to be always listening, you need hardware support for it unless you want your phone to die in a matter of hours. If you are okay with this , check out this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.RSen.OpenMic.Pheonix It also lets you configure things like only when charging or just when the screen is on to save some battery, and its actually a very nice app overall. Worth checking out.
The Moto x has a special custom chip set that allows for this always listening. Any attempt to port that feature from the Moto x would fail, as the Nexus 5 doesn't have the same chip set. The nexus 5 however, does have hardware that allows for always listening, its part of the Snapdragon 800 SOC that powers this phone, along with the Note 3 and LG G2.
But getting the feature to actually work on our phones, even with the hardware, is by no means an easy task. Read the comments on this post if you want to get an idea for what this entails. https://plus.google.com/112424215551484520138/posts/AznwFxbBapJ
So is it possible? Yes. But it is not something that is gonna be a quick easy port of small modification of an existing app, it would take some real serious work form (maybe a team even of) good Dev's to make this function.
Sorry if its not the news you wanted to hear.
Well now it's been more than a year since this thread is dead but i bought my N5 recently and i wonder is there any progress in this matter will it be possible ? (G+ comments on link provided by above like shows it may be possible...as SD800 has privilege for it but at time of this thread it was only available to OMEs so it made public yet ? ) . did any dev tried to dig into this matter ?

that's sad but okay ! what else we can say
If you're plugged in/wireless charging Google Now Voice commands work with the screen off.
Settings>Language & Input > Voice Input> Enhanced Google services> "OK Google" Detection>From any screen> enabled
"responds to your voice. Works when the screen is on or the device is charging."
make sure the next option "personal results" is also enabled if you want Google Now to be able to do anything
Try this app, Open Mic+. It'll do the job.
Hi guys since the N5 and G2 are closely related I was thinking it might be possible to put the 13mpx camera module from the G2 into the N5. I did some searching for images and from what I can see the connector looks to be the same or at least very similar:
Nexus 5 camera module:
http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-nexus-5-d820-rear-facing-camera.html
LG G2 camera module:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Camara-Prin...3?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_186&hash=item2330e302e7
Even if this fits there might be software related issues that might stop it from working (Drivers etc)
What do you guys think? worth a try? Or anyone tried it?
I think its pointless. Its not all about mega pixels you know?

I do NOT reply to support queries over PM. Please keep support queries to the Q&A section, so that others may benefit
probly wont work and would need a entire software rewrite if the phone even could detect it I think there would be serious software problems
I wouldn't bother
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
IMO, it's definitely can! The module is same!
Might be worth the hassle. You could always pop the original camera back in if it didn't work and sell the G2 camera.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If it weren't around the holidays, I would probably at least try. My wallet is near empty. If it does fail, you can always just swap the N5 camera back in. Let us know if your going to move forward with the modding, I'd like to see that!
subscribed! I would honestly be more interested in having a camera app with the same iq and speed of the G2 Camera
bump, would like to know if that is possible too! I think we would need to modify a kernel and have a new camera app/drivers, but if hardware supports it, why not! Any testers? :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: Cheaper module: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4d1cd1ac7a
EDIT2: an even cheaperer module http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2c80ba1e8b
If no one is willing to test I think I will go and try if this is possible when I get my nexus
No.

Firstly I am a realist and that is because of my second point, which is that it can't be done. Try and prove me wrong if you like but I accept no responsibility for your device
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Why can't it be done? I think with some kernel and android tweaking we could get that working, am I wrong? I've checked, they are the same connectors. I see only two problems that might stop from using G2's camera - no hardware support (which I think should be there as they are almost the same phones), or no one smart/determined enough to get it working on software. If I get it working somehow on hardware level and prove it to you (I don't even imagine how, but what if), would you help me with making it run properly? I am not saying that this is really possible, I am saying that no one knows that for sure (maybe exept LG).
Then buy it, do it and get it over with. Btw, it wont work.
We can make it shoot videos in 8k 120fps too :silly:
Seriously though, if it was possible, it would have been done already.

When it comes to any kind of porting, on any device that's been out awhile.....I always say this!
If it were possible, especially on a nexus, it would have been done by now.

Hello developers of Note 3 and Android
As everyone knows there is a great feature in LG called Knock Code and Knock On feature.
So it is an request that if any one can port this to our Note 3 to enhance the usabiity
I know about KNOCKER but that is not an option to Knock on feature, has used LG G2 for 6 month before I dropped the phone, really to be frank it is very easy to use one handed.
Thanks in advance
Hi you can use of this app

Thanks dear, But I have already mentioned about knockr as there are many people complaing about the battery and say that the screen use to be always on
Knockr sucks!! Anything to do with the LG's ease of access won't work well on our phones because:
1. It promotes laziness
2. We already have many ways of turning on our screen.
3. The battery drain is just too immense!
Sammy use cheap butons, they broke in time, maybe in 3 - 6 month or more. I use Gravity screen.
Note 3 rooted knox 0, bootloader locked, my last Samsuck crap. I want freedom.

I've had the HTC One M8 for couple months and the double tap to unlock and other gestures were fantastic and where not battery draining. If you don't like these features it's ok but you don't need to be so negative and I'm sure many Note III owners would love theses features, more features=more fun
I really wouldnt mind the real knock code from LG on my N9005 . I havent owned an lg but played with a few and it was fun, and I have the knock feature on my secondary phone, lumia 920 and i think it's quite useful. My skills are not advanced enough to help, but I can offer myself as a tester, my warranty covers everything, including knox tripped
There is a kernel that has this feature

It has this feature only if you manually turn off your screen and it will work to wake up your phone just in the first few seconds afterwards...not a fully fledged knock on code...

I'm coming from an LG G2 and I absolutely loved the knock on and knock off functionality. Does anyone know if there is anything similar yet for the S6?

No and there won't be. I miss that feature too. I believe it's hardware related.
I think that's something that can be cooked into a custom kernel. We are all playing the waiting game right now

For knock off you can install a third party launcher like Nova and set double tap on home screen to trigger an app. There are a number of screen off apps in play store you can download
