I have the i9505 and I recently received the lollipop update on Vodafone Ireland.
I am missing some features such as ambient display and screen pin, this is very annoying as I was looking forward to these the most.
Did my carrier or Samsung decide to leave them out? And if so how can I get them back?
Thank you for any help
Screen pin lockscreen should be there i have it on btu 5.0.1 ,as for ambient display i dont think samsung added this feature maybe on note 4 and s5 dunno
..
Thanks for your quick reply, I can't find screen pin tho. It is not in the security tab, I would post a screenshot but I can't as I'm not allowed yet
This is what I have on my btu.

Sorry , I didn't make it clear . it is my fault. I am talking about screen pinning
You mean a password that you put in to get in your phone?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
No that is not what I mean . screen pinning is when u can pin an active app to the screen and you can't quit it. It is useful when you are handing the phone to a friend.
Oh I see what you mean now and BTU does not have this feature nexus does though maybe in next update it might come.

It is supposed to come in 5.1 as far as I know.
The S4 does not support full ambient display. The "turn screen on when the phone is picked up" part doesn't work on the S4. Hardware limitations.
Ohh okay. Great. Thank you
The screen pin doesn't seem to be included why I'm not sure
But try look under security
On g3 its there

CM12 is known for adding custom features..
Also, I watched a 5.1 review and the guy said something about screen pinning being back or that it has a screen pinning feature. Something along those lines.
I don't have it on my 5.0.1 GPE rom
Ohh thanks guys, guess I will either get CM12 or wait for the next update

I'm in awe of the beauty and speed, and love just about every single thing about it. But one little thing bugs me -- the "retro TV off" animation when the screen is blanked.
Is there any way to turn this off?
I don't see an option inside Developer options nor inside Nova Launcher (I'm using beta with the KitKat customizations).
I know it's nit picky. Please don't flame me.

You need a custom ROM, most of them have the ability to edit or turn that off
Edit, this should be in QA

I was afraid of that. (Sorry about the location. Didn't think it was a troubleshooting issue.)

Is there a app that doesn't lock the screen when the display turns off, I find it a bit annoying on android to turn on the phone, on symbian I just had to press any key to turn on the display without unlocking it, and lock it only using the lock key.
I prefer a app like LG G2's Knock On.

theres a kernel here what does what you want ,well i think it does

I don't want to upgrade to a CFW now. I prefer enjoying rhe phone on stock than to deal with minor hindrances which ruin the experience on a CFW, like the camera bug mentioned in the thread you quoted to.

You're out of luck then unfortunately, custom kernel is the only thing that offers it right now.

Such a basic thing that symbian had but android doesn't, I am disappointed with Google.

Just go to settings and set lock screen to none.

Wrong there is an app I've been using for a while called intelliscreen theres at least two I know definitely work i use them to stop my phone from sleeping while I'm downloading from the internet
Take a look at "Auto Screen On"

Thanks for the apps but with both the apps the phone gets locked after the screen turns off, I wanted a app that turns off the autolock of phone and just turns off the screen to save power. So I can press any key on the phone to see the screen without unlocking it each time.

I can press any key except the volume rockers which leaves the obvious power button and the home button will turn my screen on and with no lock screen it does what you want it to.

I have kept inteliscreen installed but which are the setting options I need to keep to achieve the same effect as yours

I recently installed the eBay app, and have immediately noticed a thumb bar thing at the bottom of the screen. Pics are below. I highly doubt it's from eBay.
I've had the same apps on my phone that I've had previously on the Nexus 4, and never saw this. Even with eBay installed. I have to reboot the phone to get rid of it.
Any ideas?

I found out. An app I had updated security for the Galaxy S5's finger print scanning, and is leaving a bar on non Galaxy devices. Sheesh....

I had this too, a reboot fixed it. I thought I was going crazy.
Edit: I checked my running processes and it turns out to be lastpass at fault. There was a floating fingerprint overlay process I had to kill since it just returned.

Yeah, LastPass just added S5 fingerprint support, looks like it leaked to other devices, might want to file a bug report.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that it was the lastpass app. I hope this bug doesn't become common when apps update for finger print scanning tech.

Good, but strange to hear this:laugh:
Hi there,
I've been really happy with my Nexus 5 since buying it in February, but I've always been jealous of those notifications iPhone users get on their lockscreen... So I decided to look at many different lockscreen apps. However, and I've found this issue multiple times with Widgetlocker, SlideLock, etc. After installing, the apps work like normal; my stock lock screen is disabled and the other shows up in its place. But after a while, seemingly random, the lockscreen app fails to show the screen, and I often have to flip it on and off or even reinstall it to get it to show up again... Has anyone else had this problem and possibly knows of a solution? I'm running a rooted factory ROM. Thanks in advance!

Well, seems like app issues. No one here can really help with that. You'd need to go to app website or email the makers.

Try this if you don't want a custom ROM. Rather than "replacing" the default lockscreen with an app it overlays on top. You'll also need to install this first but do not add it as a Lockscreen Widget since NiLS Floating Panel overlays over the lockscreen without needing the Widget.
SHARING THE APP, ALL CREDITS GO TO TWEAKERS AND OPTIMIZERS ON GOOGLE PLAY, ANY ISSUES, PLEASE WRITE THEM IN THE PLAY PAGE OF THE APP LINKED DOWN BELOW.
FIX SYSTEM CONTROL ON DECREASED BRIGHTNESS TO PREVENT HEAT
The below issue is only present on lg custom roms from 4.2 and up, thermel controls the brightness to low it down to prevent heat, this app patches the thermal to remove some vlaues.
Some advanced users use the dialler to go to the hidden menu to disable the thermal, this app is very useful for simple and fast, also to tablets with no dialler.
Hey every one,
Today, I'm going to present to you an easy way to disable the auto lowering the brightness when in 100%, and make it sit for life-long...
It's an easy way...
I HAVE NOT DEVELOPED THAT APP!!!
Its BTW already there, but i want to share it with you guys!!
Q: What is it? A: its an app called "LGBrightnessPatcher"
Q: What it does? A: it restrict the system from getting brightness decreased, when slight heat.
Q: Require root? A: of course!
Q: Does it glue the brightness to 100%? A: No, you can adjust it from the brightness slider bar...
The app patches the brightness watcher and preventing it from changing the value when the screen gets 100% after an amount of time to let the device cool down, and not to get heat...
Other than that, the patching process would not take longer than 10 seconds!! and its totally safe!! i tested it myself!!
Instructions:
1. Root your device.
2. Install the app from the links down below.
3. Give root permission grant.
4. Touch on apply permanent patch.
5. Wait 5 seconds, got a toast massage?
6. Reboot.
7. Enjoy 100% brightness without limiting!!
Before download, let me thank the developer of the app, Tweakers and Optimizers who make that app possible!!
Its an genus app BTW!!!
Links, why? you'll find it in play store: LGBrightnessPatcher
Have a good day everyone! and get your G3 brighter, i mean stick at 100% all the time...
FEEDBACK guys, i tested it in LG G PAD V500, in stock 4.2.2 and 4.4.2, hope will work for the G3...
Press thank, rate...
15/04/2015: Looks like some folks have troubles installing the patch correctly, to fix the problem install busybox from play store.

It's not sealed from elements such as water or dust resistant purpose, so the heat should find a way out!
