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.

So I figured out how to.do this with a little bit of research. However, when I enable it I have to push really hard on the screen for it to react. Any suggestions?

Dude What do u mean u have to push on the screen? Air view u shouldn't b touching the screen at all. I'm a bit confused. U hover your finger over the picture in gallery or messages to view it.

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.

So did u get it working by using nova? And did u see that once it is enabled as soon as u put the phone to sleep the air view quits working.

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.

Search for "Screen On" on Google Play. Free app, no ads. Tick the stock Internet browser and enable the service within the app (disable the annoying icon in the notifications bar within the settings). Voila, issue resolved.

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.

This is easily fixed, just change the lockscreen to anything other than swipe and the phone will no longer accidentally become unlocked in your pocket

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?

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.

Hello all,
I have the AT&T Note 4 and when I first set the phone up, I was able to select a lockscreen effect. However, I can't seem to find where that setting is located, and I'm looking to change the effect. Is there any way of doing this short of wiping and restarting?

It would seem that you do not get an unlock effect while using fingerprint unlock. As you are not swiping the screen

Huh, you're right! If the phone was unlocked, then I got the effect, but when it was prompting for the fingerprint, then I didn't get the effect. Temporarily switching to "Swipe" exposed the option to change the effect.

Change screen lock to swipe. My bad I was late lol.
Sorry if someone posted this already didn't see anything. But Figured out a neat trick if you use apex launcher, probably works with other launcher too.
Go to behavior settings in apex settings. then go to double tap and then select launch shortcut. Go down to s pen: screen off.
That's it! Double tap home screen and the screen turns off.

if your device is rooted, then you can download the "screen off" app off the play store. Set it up to double tap to lock. then set up a gesture in nova for double tap, pick the screen off app
