While the phone is lying on a table or on bed, if you try pulling down the status bar, using just one finger without touching the sides of the phone, it just won't pull down, it would like block the touch for that even though it'd register touches for usual taps and swipes.
Even stranger behavior is while it won't be pulling down while it's lying on the table and the sides of the phone are not being touched, if you even slightly touch the side of the phone and then swipe down status bar, it'd work perfectly. That's one of the strangest things I've seen in a phone.
There's no issues while holding and using the phone btw.
Please answer back if you're facing the same issue or try replicating what I said with your device and report the behavior below, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Can you make a video? If I understand your post right, it works fine on my device.
Not able to make a video atm as no other device is with me. Would love for other people to reply as well as I'm pretty sure it can't be my particular device's defect.
I've found people reporting very similar things for surface pro on this thread here if you wanna understand what I'm saying better

Here's a video from someone in the Nokia forums acknowledging the issue I reported and made a video.

Thanks for the video, so, I did understand it right
I tried it again few times, and it works fine for me.

It happens with mine too. But not always lol....
Try turn off gestures?
Setting > System > Gestures > Swipe fingerprint for notifications.
I have not seen this, but you can set the fingerprint reader as a tiny touchpad which can be used to bring down the status bar.

Hey where did you get your nova launcher
When using certain music apps (poweramp, stock sound player..) the vibration on the phone freaks out and just buzzes and pulses. I can't figure out what is causing it.
Please tell us some more information about the phone so we can help you.
For example, what ROM or Samsung touchwiz software are you on? Are you rooted?

I would try uninstalling all those music apps and then do some detective work and install each app one by one to see which app it is. Report back what you find out.

A shot in the dark here,,,,but go to /settings/sound/
Scroll to the bottom and disable "Auto Haptic" if it is enabled.

Right on right on.
Also.... it's not so obvious...but long pressing on that menu item/switch brings up a blacklist/whitelist to choose which apps will be affected by auto-haptic though I don't use it myself.
Hi guys!
I am missing a feature I used to have on my old Galaxy I9000: It is called "touchwake" and allows the screen to be switched on, if it gets touched.
Very handy feature and I think TWRP already has it (maybe it's a sensor thing, though). Has anybody an idea? Is this a kernel feature?

Then how is it helpful?

It's an awesome feature, really. That would be even better than "quick glance" which keeps me actually on stock-based ROMs... I think I will ask in the Perseus kernel thread

You don't have to reach for the power/home button when your screen times out (and this happens to me quite often if I'm reading something)

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the stock standard feature cater for that (SmartStay)?
Monitors your eyes and prevents the screen from switching off if you are looking at it.
Why dont you just download screen on toggler from the play store. That way, you can just quickly pull the menu down, press a button and your screen will never time out. Press it again and it switches back to your original time out setting.
Comes in handy when its too dark for smart stay to work.

There is a confusion on this function. This kind of feature allow you to turn on the screen without pressing any physical button. You can take the phone out from your pocket and swipe or touch the screen and the device will wake up.

Obvious solution: increase your time-out setting.
I have it at 2 min (hate the absurdly short time-out many people seem to use) and it never times out when I am reading.
Plus, as already mentioned, if for whatever reason that I can't imagine you want to keep a short time-out setting, you can always use SmartStay which works surprisingly well and can be very easily and quickly turned on and off with its toggle in the notification shade.
Guys, this isn't about SmartStay or the likes. I am already using it, also QuickGlance. TouchWake means turning ON the display by merely touching it (2 seconds for example). I was asking for this feature in the Perseus kernel thread, if you like the idea, just vote up my request.
PS: I also tried "proximity screen off" from playstore. It's nice but still not what I was looking for. A fast double tap for screen on would be nice for example.

I fell in love with this feature seeing it on a BB10 device (and that's just about the ONLY thing that I like about the BB10 BTW :laugh.
It would be awesome and would enable us to get rid of the physical home button (which wastes space and is a durability worry but it's still needed to wake the phone up as it's way more comfortable to use than the power button).
As I've seen on your comments you really don't know what it is.

DerTeufel ( the guy working on dual boot ) just released a kernel with touchwake.... here
Reminds me of MeeGo. This would be an awesome feature, given that the physical buttons don't seem to last well over time...
Yeah! Big thanks to DerTeufel! Good job for what I can say so far. Will test some more days

Eventually it seems that my G3 always enters a state where hitting the play button in any media app (spotify, npr one, youtube, etc) doesn't really work. It'll play the audio for a split second and then immediately pause. I can hit play again and the same thing will happen. The only way to fix it so far seems to be rebooting. Any ideas what could cause this?

I know their was a way to turn on a feature to show screen touch points. Meaning if it was you would see the touch points messing up your video playback and confusing the phone. You might have bad hardware.

Just to follow up on this, looks like it was caused by an app misconfigured to use accessibility to watch media notifications instead of the new notification API in kitkat. Things seem to be okay now.
