It's preinstalled? It's the green app with an S. Should be in your app drawer if not check your application manager to make sure it's not disabled. Not sure if it even can be honestly.
Thank you, some how it got disabled.

It comes pre-installed but you have to open it once to have access to the heart rate.
If it was disabled, then this can only happen from the application manager menu.
Pedometer isn't really accurate. You can shake your phone up and down. And it'll registers it as a step. It's still cool though looking at health data through out the day. At work the other day I've walked over 6 miles.

I tested it. Went for a walk, counted close to 500 steps, and the pedometer registered within 20.
It works best in a pocket, not in your hand.

I haven't looked through the app uet, but I know on my S4 I was able to go into the settings for the set counter and set it up for my walking stride. I think it is generic from the get go and bases it off your height. I may take a look around and see if I can find the setting again. I do like using it.
When I used it on my S4 I counted a thousand steps and it was dead on. I was also checking the step counter on my work phone (a Casio Commander if I remember correctly) and it was off quite a few steps.
Anyone know how to remove the pedometer count from my home screen. I enabled it when I first got my phone and now I cant remember how to disable it.

Hrm, I thought that was a widget.. however I can't get a widget that looks like that on my homescreen from touchwiz. I can however get a widget like that to show up when I use apex.
Are you sure it's not a widget? Just long press on it and then drag to the top of the screen and drop on the trashcan icon.
If you are using another launcher.. the process should be similar.

Duh. Wow, I tapped and held it and set it as hidden and now it's gone. I don't recall adding a widget as I don't even use widgets with Smart Launcher. Weird. Thanks though.

Looking for an app that would dim and lock my phone when I put it in my pocket; blackberry style. It sounds a bit ridiculous, but having to hit the power button after every call to make sure it locks out is getting a bit tedious... Any suggestions.

There's a few... proximity sensor off is like that.. a few others too. Search proximity sensor in the market and you'll see some.

That will work! Of course if you use your phone for ANYTHING besides simply making a call it'll get old real quick. Seriously though, I found a dozen different apps that are power button replacements and proximity sensor offs... there's also a lot of different Widgets that put a "screen off" button on your screen so you don't have to reach for the power button every time. I use a power off widget on my bigger phones to make it quicker to kill the screen... wow, I just realized how sad and spoiled we are! Do you guys remember Windows 98???

@ hand feed!
You can also check out screen off and lock. That's what I'm currently using, once you set it up you can just place a widget on your home screen, tap the icon and "done", you can also add a touch of old tv style to it
isnt this the best feature ever, since slice bread, ?
How do I enable this feature
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
thats the thing, noone knows, but we are supposed to have it according to qualcomm
It is in your owners manual. Just saying.
Double press home button.
Hit menu button. Go into settings and turn on voice wake. Will not work with lock screen engaged
NOTE 3
And how does the always on part work? I can get s-voice to work when the phone is off. I can get it to respond when I'm in the app. But it doesn't work when I'm doing anything else. Someone help me get my always on working like yours.

I found this feature out by accident and Ya it's a cool feature but just wished s voice was more accurate. A few times I had to repeat myself and sometimes it won't get what I'm saying at all. So sometimes I'll just tell it to launch voice search since that can pick up what I'm saying much better.

I never had much use for it. I keep Google Music, TuneIn Radio and PowerAmp widgets on my music page. I use them as needed.
My issue with page buddy was that it "intelligently" decided what apps to show based on what you used the most frequently (or recently?) while in that mode and didn't give you option to manually add apps to the page.
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I never really used Page Buddy on my Note 2. That was partly because I didn't really find it too useful and also because I used Nova launcher, which automatically got rid of Page Buddy since it was a function of the Touchwiz launcher.
Spotify, PowerAmp as music widgets. Nothing else matters.

I hated page buddy lol. It was the first thing I turned off on my note 2. I was glad that it wasn't on the note 3
Ok for what it matters.....
I could have sworn I froze some kind of page buddy thing with Ti backup.....so after some thought...I went back into Ti backup and sure enough....I froze something called "pagebuddyNotiSvc 1.0" dunno if thats what youre looking for but it is frozen on my note 3.

im not rooted, but i did disable that as well in application manager. as i recall, when i plugged in my headphones, instead of the full page buddy from the note 2, i got a row of "audio apps" in the notification tray. since turning this off, that has since gone away. not sure what other functions are included with this besides the headphone triggered stuff. useless feature, IMO.

Everytime I unlock my note 2 the location icon comes up literatly every time, If I lock the device and then unlock it 10 seconds later its there, I can understand doing it if it was 15 mins or so.
Would this be an app doing this or is it just a samsung thing? Is there a way to tell or does everyones phone do this?

check if you have some weather app which refresh itself everytime you unlock the screen.
this is not samsung thing, I faced the same thing with some weather apps
I only have two weather apps, BBC and notification weather bother are set as 2 and 4 hours refresh time. Any other clues or apps I can find out using this?

Most likely an app and unless I do a lot of digging (I can't remember the apps name) I would shut off GPS unless needed... Essentials there is an app that can observe your wake lock behaviors and determine what the culprit is (I.e. which app is causing the GPS to trigger).. No one can really help you figure out a solution without knowing this info either... Do some research and see if you can't figure it out as I will in spare time try my best to point you in a better direction

Thank you for the honesty I have had a look at some apps and most weather have hour refresh rates. I thoght automate it could of been it but force closed it and it isn't that app either. Dont know why so many apps are allowed access to this stuff when they don't need it.

I do read them but unless you want the app what can you do? Heck if I read them I would only proberbly have one or two apps installed as all apps ask for loads of permissions they don't need at all that's what I meant.
Anyway found the app, sense v2 flip clock thought it looked the best out of all the look alikes. Gone back to beautiful widgets now and ain't had the location thing back yet. Strange because there is an option to update upon unlocking and I had unticked that so I guess it ignores your preferences.

Anyone know a solution to the problem? I installed nova launcher and got it to work. But once the screen is put to sleep it turns off. I know that when root comes it won't b a problem, but I loved that feature on my Note 3, and I'm wondering y would they hide the setting? If it's there but hidden, that means it's still there, which makes no sense. Just make it a setting that we can enable if we want.
Anyways if anyone knows how I can get it again without root that would b greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Guess I need to clarify. I was able to enable the finger air view. That worked as intended. However, when this feature is enabled EVERYTHING else is hard to do. For instance, scrolling is very difficult. Typing is almost impossible because you have to be very deliberate when hitting a key. You have to push the screen hard for it to recognize the selection. It is like this for everything. When finger air view is disabled every goes back to normal.

Yes I used nova and enabled all 6 air view setting however interesting enough it is the mouse view setting that actually enables this feature. I am not sure a out the phone to sleep. I don't think I tried that.
Another app I figured out was note 4 hidden features however it does not.give all the air view settings like nova. Just the main one

Ya try setting it up again. See if it works, then put the phone to sleep, wake it unlock it and try air view again.
This really pisses me off. One of my favorite features gone. At least for now anyways. Hopefully with root we can access this feature ALL THE TIME.

Edit: Just to be clear you can enable finger air view through nova by enabling the "mouse hover" air view setting. In doing this you severely impact the performance of the touch sensitivity of the phone making it much harder to use and if the phone goes to sleep it turns off. If anyone has a fix to this you are awesome.
