Weird feature (not in settings) - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

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.

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.

That's not it, that's for scrolling thru the browser. I remember the tilting setting was under motions on my s3 along with the zoom on pictures and zoom on the browser. But I don't see it on my s4

This is exactly the issue I'm experiencing, it's no where to be found in the settings and it gets really annoying

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.

Nope
Not mines, my brothers, or my friends, but my brother has the feature working. It's not even in the settings, I enabled everything and it didn't work for me

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....

+1. Is it even worth stepping back from jedi 6.1.2? The only thing I can think of is the better battery life of the stock rom over the custom ones if all we are getting is the multi windows software from this.

I've noticed that there are new ink colors for the pen on the lock screen. Also, it feels like haptic feedback is a bit weaker.
Anyone know if we can customize the toggles in the notification window?

Try under display. I see it on clean ROM, and someone said theyd noticed they were rearranged I bet they included that as well.
Don't see anything under display. Bummer I guess
For some reason the multi view is not working any more.
I got the little tab. . But when I click program like google mail and Chrome the open in full screen. It worked for a few hours but then it stopped. ..

Patching it using ExynosAbuse breaks the camera now, though.
Back Button does not activate multi-window
I am on stock ROM no rooting done at all.
After the update, tried to hold down the back button but will not activate the multi window.
I can only activate it on the notification bar.
Please advise and thank you.
I would make sure under settings that its enabled and if it is then try a reboot and renable the feature as I have two notes one which is stock and works just fine

How To Move MultiWindow Tab?

Open the tab to view the apps then click and hold the tab and you can move to the top bottom left or right

I'd recommend taking a look at CleanROM 3.5...Absolutely the best (stability, battery life, functionality, and ease of installation) ROM I've used. It has MWC (MultiWindowControl) which allows you to add any apps you want to MultiWindow.

Hello all.
This is a simple fix. What you are talking about is a page buddy function. Navigate to settings/display/page buddy turn this option on you will now get the spen recommendations and page buddy screen when pen is detached. This is of course on a stock rom. If you are on a custom rom this option may have been moved/ removed, etc.
Hit thanks if you found it!

If the white button on the spen gets jammed in, then it will act like a finger on the touchscreen when you hover
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I haven't had the issue. I just touch the link with Spen and it registers as mouse click. My tip isn't sticking.
Some sites are a bit finicky about where you click when using a mobile browser in desltop, IE, Firefox, etc mode (non mobile or android). And if the link is in some flash player media, that can be hit or miss.
I would suggest trying another site like MSN or something to test the Spen. This should tell you if it's the Spen or just that site.
