[Q] How to get the thermometer reading? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I know that the S4 was advertised as having an actual ambient temperature thermometer sensor on it...
How do I actually see the readout of this sensor? not seeing anything other than the network weather data.
Any Thoughts?

On my phone, it is grossly inaccurate.

Not on our phones I'm afraid, that and the brightness swipe on the statusbar were left off unfortunately
Yep, the US variants did not get this feature
Damn that sucks for you guys, I don't know why they have to mess around with different versions of the phone they should all be equal.. a universal standard if you will

If there was such an app how would you know?
Point the phone at your dog and wait for an epileptic seizure?......

I need one to save battery life. You can test that with a high frequency camera.
It has to be greater than Flicker fusion threshold
Maybe you should try and search for the data sheet for the LED used in the I9100, and check if it can physically support the refresh rates you're looking for.
I know there's an app called disco light on Play which has a variable speed LED strobe feature, check that out too.

Thanks for th suggestion I will try it.
Currently I'm using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devuni.flashlight&hl=en with adjustedable strobe. The frequency is not high enough for it to not noticeable

Neat Screen off feature

I stumbled across a cool little feature while the screen is off. Cover the light and proximity sensors for several seconds and the top half of the screen will emit an aqua blue aura that displays missed calls, messages, and battery. I know this feature is somewhat useless, just thought I'll do some digging after it accidentally popped up on me while handling the phone.
Edit: Cool, I didn't realize it was the Quick Glance feature. Thought I was going crazy when I couldn't figure out how to reproduce it.
Hmm I do not see that

Doesn't happen here, either. Is this some kind of buried setting?
I could see this being useful if it could detect your phone is in your pocket, and when you pull it out, it would show that information.
It's in settings - motion - quick glance.
Then if you scroll down while still in motion to advanced settings there are more options for it in there.

Yeah I found it, very neat. I turned it on, I'll see if I continue to like it or if I find it annoying.I turned on a few more motion features. Why not try them?
The phone must also be laying flat (like on the table for example) otherwise it doesn't work.
Yeah it doesn't seem to be too reliable plus the info goes away too fast for me

thanks for this...no more pressing the power button when my phone is on the nightstand just to see the time or battery...etc...nice feature
Cool.

Does turning this on have and detrimental effects on battery life? Does it get activated accidentally in your pocket?
Love it. Wish it was faster, though. My screen turn on lag is not good

I noticed you can press the touch keys in those few seconds while the screen lights up and it will make the drip sound... little annoying in the middle of the night.

Don't think it would do much damage to the 3100mAh battery. I'm still getting over a day's use, at least 6 hours of screen on with the quick glance feature on. According to others, it only triggers if the phone has been laying on a flat surface. So I think it'll be just fine in our pockets.

How much battery Air View consumes?

Hey guys, I was wondering if this feature drains the battery significantly or not? Did a search but didn't really get any results, can anyone comment here?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
I don't think it actually use any extra battery due to the way the S-Pen works. The s-pen is detected above the screen whether or not you have air view on or off.
You can test it for yourself by holding the s-pen above the screen close enough for air view to work and clicking the nub on the pen in with your nail, it's all to do with electromagnetism as far as I know.

You can even use your phone without touching it. Just put your finger over the tip of spen, and go close to your screen...

Tempurature, Humidity and Pressure Apps

I haven't seen this posted yet but the S4 sensor apps work fine on the Note 3. Here are a couple that seem very nice.

This one is just for humidity and temperature:

It sure does, try one of the apps out.
I have the S4 and just got the N3, i notice while the temp readout is nearly matched, the humidity is out by up to 8%.
