One finger zoom.

How can you disable this function?
I just want to scroll and not zoom when I slide my finger up and down on the left side. I have looked every where for a setting to disable this annoyance..

I actually just noticed this when trying to highlight text in an email...I use chrome and it doesn't zoom with the one finger so I never noticed it, 2 weeks later and still learning about this phone lol

my guess is that you have one-handed operation on. If you take that off I bet it will stop zooming with one finger.

Still does it with one hand operation off.

Cool I can zoom with one finger. Love this feature now since I only scroll from the middle of the screen.

Still no disabling of this feature?

One Finger Zoom
It is a simple to use application to ZOOM on your images with a simple touch, while maintaining the resolution of your images. One tap to zoom and move in different areas of the picture! All the details, with the original resolution, are now at your (one) finger, one touch and there you go!
you can download it from Slideme Market

Spam ^^ . Dolphin beta doesn't have the slide zoom thankfully.

Still can't figure out how to stop the scrolling on edges....

S-pen messed up?

Is the s pen supposed to write on the notepad thing when it is hovering over the screen? Also it will act as if it is touching the screen when it is not...is it supposed to?

You're probably bumping into the "Air view" feature without knowing what it is. I recommend you read the manual to understand all of the awesome functionality, including the cool things that you can do with the S-Pen, that Samsung included with the Note 2. Failing that, you're likely to be posting basic questions like this to the annoyance of many. =)
To turn *off* the hover functionality, go to "Settings | S Pen" and swipe the "Air view" to "off".

REQUEST FOR INFO: S-PEN Hover Clicking?

Hi all. My programmer friend and I were wondering about editing the code to allow mouse style clicking while the S-Pen is hovering to open apps and links etc. I know that this is possible physically because when I boot into recovery and hoover and click it works. I just want it to work on my rom in either a apk or system mod.
I have viewed the S-Pen sdk http://developer.samsung.com/android/technical-docs/S-Pen-SDK-2-2-5-Tutorial
but was wondering if something already exists or can be modified such as in the build.prop etc.
Any info or app suggestions / mods would be great!
Thanks in advance! I think with would be a great feature while using the hoover scroll function in a web browser then by able to click while hoovering.
:laugh:

I found an APK and explored it in .zip viewer called spengesturepad.apk in system/app
I wonder if this is the apk that needs modifying.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5xkhelpdgrom2vp/SPenGesturePad.apk

This would be nice.. My question is when you hover to avoid accidently clicking something do you mean tapping the button on the side of the pen as well to get it to click while hovering.. Or is that even possible

Yea exactly. Using the button to click and open the item you are hoovering over!

Like the idea especially since my Damn pen always seems to be selecting items I don't want whenever I hover over things. Btw do any of you get their s pen tip stuck? I ask because I would write some letters and as I lift the pen to continue writing it still draws a freaken line to where I finally touch. So freaken annoying :banghead: any ideas on a fix? TIA :beer:

Unfortunately I don't have a link but yes I read some where that under the button on the s pen there is a screw/knob you can twist to make it more or less sensitive. Seems yours is to sensitive. Hopefully you didn't get a defective pen or worse device. Good luck bro.
Ps top answer your question it hasn't happened to me THAT bad before. Maybe once or twice a week if that I'll hover over some thing and it'll select it or scroll

I don't know if there is a setting to change this behavior, but spen driver is firing events for button click and hover, so it is possible to write root application that would do this. Obviously incorporating it in custom rom would be even easier.

I am hot on the trail. If you use s note and hoover click the pad it switches pen to eraser etc. I logcat the even and am scouring the sdk.

Touchwake

Hi guys!
I am missing a feature I used to have on my old Galaxy I9000: It is called "touchwake" and allows the screen to be switched on, if it gets touched.
Very handy feature and I think TWRP already has it (maybe it's a sensor thing, though). Has anybody an idea? Is this a kernel feature?

It's an awesome feature, really. That would be even better than "quick glance" which keeps me actually on stock-based ROMs... I think I will ask in the Perseus kernel thread

You don't have to reach for the power/home button when your screen times out (and this happens to me quite often if I'm reading something)

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the stock standard feature cater for that (SmartStay)?
Monitors your eyes and prevents the screen from switching off if you are looking at it.

Why dont you just download screen on toggler from the play store. That way, you can just quickly pull the menu down, press a button and your screen will never time out. Press it again and it switches back to your original time out setting.
Comes in handy when its too dark for smart stay to work.

There is a confusion on this function. This kind of feature allow you to turn on the screen without pressing any physical button. You can take the phone out from your pocket and swipe or touch the screen and the device will wake up.

Obvious solution: increase your time-out setting.
I have it at 2 min (hate the absurdly short time-out many people seem to use) and it never times out when I am reading.
Plus, as already mentioned, if for whatever reason that I can't imagine you want to keep a short time-out setting, you can always use SmartStay which works surprisingly well and can be very easily and quickly turned on and off with its toggle in the notification shade.

Guys, this isn't about SmartStay or the likes. I am already using it, also QuickGlance. TouchWake means turning ON the display by merely touching it (2 seconds for example). I was asking for this feature in the Perseus kernel thread, if you like the idea, just vote up my request.
PS: I also tried "proximity screen off" from playstore. It's nice but still not what I was looking for. A fast double tap for screen on would be nice for example.

I fell in love with this feature seeing it on a BB10 device (and that's just about the ONLY thing that I like about the BB10 BTW :laugh.
It would be awesome and would enable us to get rid of the physical home button (which wastes space and is a durability worry but it's still needed to wake the phone up as it's way more comfortable to use than the power button).

As I've seen on your comments you really don't know what it is.

DerTeufel ( the guy working on dual boot ) just released a kernel with touchwake.... here

Reminds me of MeeGo. This would be an awesome feature, given that the physical buttons don't seem to last well over time...

Yeah! Big thanks to DerTeufel! Good job for what I can say so far. Will test some more days

[Q] I have a few questions about my new Optimus G Pro

I recently upgraded to the LG Optimus G Pro and I love it and all, but while I'm at work when I get messages, my phone does all sorts of crazy things in my pocket because the screen comes on. I was wondering if there was a setting that I was looking over that would stop it from doing that? I'm trying not to root it because I know the bare minimum about rooting phones, but I did root my Galaxy s2 Skyrocket with youtube tutorials.

What things is it doing? I have the flip case and that keeps it from coming on and such. I think there is a pocket mode in the setting(I could be wrong about this though) check in display section or even under notifications.

Or go into the offending app that's causing you trouble and turn notifications off.

I think there are a few others who have complained about this as well. I don't have a texting plan (I use Google Voice), so I haven't ever experienced this. However, if there aren't any options in the phone settings, there may be another way.
I seem to be on this Tasker kick lately, so when someone has a problem that is related to the phone sensors or events, I tend to think "how can I fix this with Tasker?!" . As a result, I have made an app really quick using Tasker and have even included the project XML if you want to fiddle with it on your own. It does NOT require root. However, it will need you to install another free app called "Secure Settings" and give it administrator rights in your phone settings. All that the app does is wait for an incoming message and checks to see if the proximity sensor detects something in front of it. If it does, it turns the screen off. However, like I said, I don't have a texting plan, so I haven't had a chance to really test it. The app interface is just an "ON/OFF" button and a "Close" button. If it doesn't work, just turn it off or uninstall it. It is set to "OFF" when it is first installed.
Alternatively, you can play around with it if you get Tasker. I think there is still a trial period you can get if you aren't sure if you want to buy it. Let me know if it works or if you have any other questions.
I named the xml file as a .zip just to upload to xda. Just rename the file without the ".zip" at the end and then you can edit and/or import to Tasker.

Okay I just realised that there is an emergency call button on the screen when you have either pin, password or pattern unlock set. If you just have swipe, there is no emergency call button. Maybe this will help?
