What Software Features are Missing in the AT&T Note 4? I noticed Glance View is missing. When I slowly wave my hand over the device, the display does not come on.

One feature missing is:
with the S pen, hold the button and draw < or > on any screen to become back or forward no longer exist on Note 4
What I didn't figure out was how to take a screenshot with the pen. I held the button down and tapped on the screen and nothing happened. Just use the old fashioned way.

You can use the Air Command menu and launch the Screen Write feature (I have it set to launch when I press the pen button with the tip close to the screen).
Cool. How about removing the pedometer steps from the home screen? I enabled it when I first got the phone but can't seem to remember the option to disable it.

I think you have to turn the pedometer off in S health? I couldn't find another way to enable and disable the step counter

Hmm. Mine doesn't show on the home screen. Missed that in the earlier post.
The only thing I see that would put it on the home screen is a widget.
I see in the official changelog for Beta 17 "Ambient Display 2.0" - can anyone tell me what is different? I'm at work so can't update.
Any screenies maybe? Thx

There is a new lift to display function. Basically wakes the phone when you lift the phone - just like the proximity wave.

Ambient display needs to be enabled first, it's just above the option for Lift Up Display.

Yes, I totally agree - this is a frustrating 'update' that feels like going backward. It's great that now picking up the phone turns on the ambient display - but when the ambient display is showing, why can't I touch to interact with the notifications? Now I need to 1) pick up the phone, 2) double tap to wake, and 3) touch the notification. This adds a NEW step #2, which in addition to being annoying also hurts battery life. Why can't I just lift the screen to turn on ambient display and then interact with the notifications like previously without having to wake the phone? I used this feature multiple times per day; now I want to downgrade to the previous version!

This new system let you use off screen gestures, because in old when this ambient display appear you have to wake and re turnoff screen for use off screen gestures. Just use the power button for intereact with your notification

yes, but the point was I DIDN'T have to press the power button before. Now i HAVE to. WHY? How is this better than the previous version???? I want to downgrade. That was my favorite and most useful feature and now its gone for no reason!
Yes it a differents usages, i understand your frustrations but in Oreo ambient display work like this but notification text disappear to just let an icon..
No I like the current ambient display. Interactive ambient display ruins the purpose of "ambient display" which is just to show time and notification. People will be more cautious of touching the screen if touchable and lots of mis click when put top side up in pocket
Just wish the hours will always be red instead of just "1"

I used the interactive display with the One Plus 3 and NEVER had any misclicks in my pocket. But I DID use the functionality of interactive ambient display notifications MANY TIMES PER DAY. It's particularly useful for music. You can pause/play music from the google play notification in the ambient display without unlocking the phone. I still don't understand how it is better at all to not have the interactions be interactive?

Even if this is the way it is done in Oreo, the One Plus runs OxygenOS for a reason - to be able to customize/add features.
Please bring it back, at least have an option in the settings to toggle it on/off.
Then you're just looking for a lockscreen lol. Get an always on lockscreen...

Hi all. New on this phone, I've searched for this but could not find, so maybe someone here could help me. Is there a gesture to quickly turn off screen (had a gesture on my old nexus that was double tapping home button)?
Thanks in advance!
You could try 'Edge sense plus' (check the play store) to use the squeeze function to turn off the screen instead of launching the assistant. Personally I use nova launcher and swipe up to turn off the screen.
I'm sure there are other alternatives as well, but that's my 2 cents
I use the app called edge gestures on the play store. Works very well for me!

Is that the app that costs 1,77? Wich are the possible gestures for screen off?
Do you have the possibility to use the fingerprint sensor to turn screen off?
Thanks!
Yeah it does cost some money but I can't remember exactly how much. There is a native screen lock option for Android 9+ and I don't think there is any fingerprint gesture. It's primarily for the edges of your screen.

You could try turning on accessibility menu in the accessibility settings if you don't mind having a small icon to the right of the pill at the bottom of the screen. When you click it, there are several options given and lock screen is one. It's not a simple gesture swipe or a simple double tap but it may be an option.

Tried that, and it works, it appears a person button, and when you press it, it gives a lot of options, and the lock screen is one of them. I will keep using until a easier solution if found. I can not believe android will not include a gesture option for this by default.
I hate to have to press a button to lock the screen, they end up breaking/wearing so fast.
Thanks all for your responses, and other solutions are welcome. Cheers! :good:

Forgot to mention though that with it, when you open the camera app, you'll get this '5 second burst' label on the screen that some find annoying but I, for one, don't mind it.
Oh and when you're down and feeling blue, that small person icon seems to be ready to give a hug so just look at your phone. Hahaha

It's swiping/tapping from either the left, right, or bottom of the screen.
I use Wakeup touch Nexus, which, apart from letting you wake the screen using the proximity sensor, also allows you to turn off the screen by touching an icon on the desktop https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wolandsoft.wtn

Thanks, but looking for gestures apps or ways to lock the screen.
Check this widget out. It is invisible and adds double tap to lock functionality to any launcher.

Works without root in Android P or with root in Oreo and lower. In both cases, fingerprint unlocking works afterwards.

Introducing Pixel Pulse - a simple app to make your Ambient Display pulse when you have notifications!
Choose the interval and select the apps you want you to cause your screen to wake.
Optional paid features let you select different icons and colors for specific apps but the interval and app filter core functionality is all free.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.pixelpulse
If you had previously purchased Ambi-Turner, it has been updated for the new permissions, but because it was written for 8.0 and when Google's ambient display worked differently I decided to leave it as it is. You may however transfer your purchase status of Ambient Display to Pixel Pulse using both apps.

Paid customization adds the ability to always pulse (with a view that shows you that you have no important notifications), and the ability to select icons and colors for specific applications.
Screenshots are difficult because you can't screenshot the ambient display. I'll need to try and take actual photographs.
Seems like the settings don't save. Just updated the app and everything is set to pulse even though I removed some stuff :S

This is awesome. But is there a way you can maybe make the icon only pulse and be custom colors? Without showing the actual notification text? That would be amazing! But bought the paid one and I am using it now looks good on the wireless charger. :good:

The update somewhat fixed the timing issue but it still is off by 5 seconds. When setting the internal to 20 seconds it pulses after 15 seconds.
Edit: It seems that the timer starts when the notification pops up not when the notification disappears. Is this the way it is intended to work?

It's under the Fingerprint ID section in Biometrics and passwords. Huawei gives you a lot of options with the sensor, you can select which ones you want to turn on.
