Possible to get galaxy S3 put to face to start call. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Just curious as to if anyone has ported over any of the gesture controls from the GS3. The main ones that would be cool to me is put the phone to your face with the contact info up to start the call. Or swiping to the left or the right on a contact will either call or open SMS window.

The swipe gesture can be found in the DW contacts app. I reckon there are some dependencies from touchwiz needed to port that other function.

Is there a way to disable texts from showing up in the call log?

I find it really annoying that texts show up in the call log... anyway to disable that? I'm on Starburst 1.7

In the phone log click the menu button and click view by. Then choose all voice calls.

That works but it doesn't stick. I think it resets after a reboot. At least for me it hasn't stuck.

So I'm assuming there is no permanent workaround yet?

Probably not. The phone is still very new and still working out bug in every corner. So it will take some time.

There is a "logsprovider.apk" over on Bonsai that works, I use it fwiw. Just search the quoted term.

I've been using go dialer since I changed my lcd density to 200 which made the default dialer look funny. I like go dialer so far
This must be with the default messaging. I don't see the texts in mine, maybe cause I have Handcent installed.

Take picture w/o unlocking

Is there a picture app/ feature that allows you to quickly take a picture without having to unlock the phone?
Windows and crappie have this features and I wanted on my S3.
Thanks

Thanks, but the feature mentioned above does not support codes so it does not work when the phone is locked.
Do you have a GS3?
Why not try adding the camera app to one of the shortcuts on the lockscreen?

This is why:
1) Faster camera launch.
2) You don't have to enter a password every time you want to take a picture yet your phone its still locked/secured.
3) If you want someone else to take a pic, you have to stop and unlock the phone first or give them your password.
4) When the shortcut is on the lock screen, you have to enter the password before allowing you to take the pic. You'll miss the moment.
5) With Windows 7 and Crapple you don't have to unlock and could quickly launch the camera. Also, all the pictures you take at the moment are visible w/o unlocking.
It would be a good feature to have on the GS3.
Would be a great add on

of course that would be an inconvenience if you have a password on your phone (which i understand most people do.) i on the other hand do not as i dont let my phone out of my sight. i use the shortcut but thats just me and like they say to each his own right.
I would assume if you have a pin unlock code or something else it would be there no matter what app you use

If you use Tasker and the secure settings plugin this MIGHT be possible.

There is an app for this but it requires having a dedicated shutter button on the device.
May I ask how you plan to take a picture without having some sort of GUI?

The stock ROM for my old HTC Amaze did this. I I don't know why Samsung didn't include it.

If memory serves me right, that has a dedicated camera button. If you really really really want this feature, you could remap the home button to function as your camera button, then run the navigation bar that appears in galaxy nexus devices and devices without hardware buttons
Can't you make a tasker function for that

You can wait for Android 4.2 since this functionally is now built into the lock screen.

Yes it does but I didnt have to use the button to do it. You pushed the unlock button, then slid the lock ring onto the camera icon (assuming you had it on your lock screen) and you could take a picture. You would see the 3 sec preview of it, and then take more pics. If you tapped the small pic of the last image, and it would take you to the pattern/number lock. That way someone couldn't see your pics without the pass.

How do I use voice controls on Jellybean TW

Not google voice the actual voice commands like answering or rejecting a phonecall. It was in language and input on ics but I dont see it on Jellybean

Double tap the home button to open s-voice, then go to settings of s-voice. Then go to control apps. I believe that is what your looking for.

Edit: control apps, not voice controls in s-voice settings...
You have to have vibrate turned off too, which makes it a no go for me.

Very annoying that text pops up telling you that you can use voice commands within camera, alarm, when a call comes through etc.

I brought this up a while back when the s3 came out.. There has to be a way to modify it to work also when on vibrate.
I keep my phone on vibrate around 80% of the time so I can never use them either.
But I have found out that the voice commands still work on camera even with vibrate on, which leads me to believe it can be enabled on the other commands some how ... I don't know how to program and all that but I would be willing to help in anyway to get it working on vibrate mode

[Q] Notifications not as good as before

I've just upgraded from the original Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 to a Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100
On my old Tab if there was a notification that was too long to fit on the screen I could long press on the notification and it would begin to scroll right to left allowing me to read the whole message. On my shiny new super phone that long press no longer works (instead it brings up a button for App Info which is no help at all!)
Is there a way to read the whole of a notification without having to go to launch the app associated with it?
Thanks!
In 4.1 JB you have to put two fingers on it and slide down to expand the notification. Although it doesn't work for all notifications.

Thanks for the reply.
That seems to work for Gmail but not for Pulse and if there is more than one email then the expanded version is basically no better than the unexpanded version. You still need to go from the notification screen to the Gmail inbox to see any of the message.
Seems a bit of a step backwards from the older version on Android.

Weird feature (not in settings)

My brother has this weird feature (he has an S4 too) that my phone doesn't do.
So if you look at the photo below, he's holding down an app on his home screen but what's so different between my s4 and his is that when he tilts his phone left or right it switches to that direction. For an example, he can tilt it to the right to move an app to a home screen that is on the right (like the next page) .
This isn't normal because my friends and my S4 doesn't do this and we can't find the option in the settings

I think that feature its called air move. I think it only works in the TouchWiz launcher.

Standard feature for touchwiz since the galaxy s2 on t-mobile.
You just have to enable the option. Same is you zoom into a picture put a finger on the image and move the phone around you can pan through the image...
Read the manual in the box... something no one ever does.
<3
By tilting? That's not the air move. I don't see the tilt option either. Turning on the pan photos setting doesn't do it.
Seems like it would be a combination of Smart Scroll (allows device tilting to move) and and Air Gesture...but I can't repeat it. Weird....
It's the tilting features, but for the life of me I can't find the setting for it.

Guys, It's not air gestures, air gestures you SWIPE your hand on the sensor, and it's NOT smart scroll. I swear I remember seeing the setting under motions on my s3 but it's not anywhere on my s4

So, do you have any S4 with that function?
I only found the tilt to zoom image setting on Setting --> My device --> Motions and gestures --> Motion --> Tilt --> Zoom.
I cannot find the tilt to switch page. May be it's replaced by air gesture.
