When I'm pressing my fingers on the screen, I can see a clear and quite bad screen ripple... Is this the lifting problem that people are talking about?
Thanks

If you mean by pushing on the edge of the screen then yes that is result of the screen lift.

Every nexus 7 I have had has the screen lift and all of them have the ripples effect, mostly on the left side
Yeah it's mainly on the corners, with the screen lift am I supposed to be able to physically see the screen lifting round the corners?
Thanks for the fast replies btw

Hey All,
I was reading the user manual for the S4 (Link), and it said on page 8 "Do not use a screen protector. This causes sensor malfunctions".
If I didn't look online for the manual, I wouldn't have known this information, as I didn't get the manual with my phone. (Only the quick start guides).
What is everyone opinion on this?

I don't think the sensor will be affected if the screen protectors are well cut at the right areas.

Which areas?
They probably be cut around sensors at the top.

I'd assume that it's because of the floating touch. Being an owner of the Note 2 (that has floating touch with the S-Pen) I can tell you that a screen protector doesn't affect my experience.
Now if the S4 uses a different way of capturing floating touch (because it doesn't have a stylus), this may be true. I suppose only time and testing will tell.

i'm still going to use screen protectors.
I have screen protector. I got it with the phone when preordered. Its cut around the home button and cut just before sensors at top. All works fine.

Does the floating touch thing work?
Hey, i too have the screen protector, everything including floating touch working alright

Get a screen protector and a case if you don't want to scratch your phone, that way you can sell it in an "excellent" condition. I had my GS3 for 8 months and it's still in pristine condition.
I have had a screen protector on since day one with no malfunctions. Also, you will notice that protectors designed for the S4 don't cover the sensors at the top of the phone.

It makes the floating touch slightly less sensitive (and accurate at longer distances), but other than that it's fine.
I have a screen protector on my s4 and have no issues
I also used screen protector from day 1, no problem.
had one no change btw after accident not ahve one now btw think may nto go to bu one what do u think? buy one:?!

yea u r corect plus i use ones no any effect
I have found threads and info about how it works on the Note 2, about magnets in the stylus but how does it know when your finger is hovering over the S4 screen?
Anyone know?
I have the same question.

The one at the top of the phone?
So it sort of senses downwards as well as infront of itself?

No.
It's the same old touchscreen controller technology just much more sensitive.

I'm just curious.
What are stock apps that able to utilize this function. I only notice this when I use Flipboard.

I read somewhere that it was indeed the sensor at the top, mixed with the old technology too.
The apps I know it works with are stock email, stock texts and flipboard. Not sure what else. It doesn't even seem to work on lockscreen...

How to use the air view on Stock text? I thought it can show the contents of text from text overview display. But when I tried, nothing shown.

Sooo no way that this feature will be on the galaxy s3? Since it's hardware related

Samsung is using a super sensitive capacitative touchscreen that can sense your finger even when its a short distance from the screen, essentially. its the same reason that there's an option so that you can use it with gloves on
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I'm no engineer, but this is my basic understanding gleaned from reading wikipedia and other sources. Capacitive touchscreens work by sensing changes in an electrostatic field. Your finger is an electrical conductor, which distorts the field. In normal phones the field is calibrated to extend just past the surface of the touchscreen. The S4's electrostatic field is simply overcalibrated to sense your finger from a distance, and it's also why it works with gloves on.

nothing to do with the capacitive screen or proximity sensor. if the screen was THAT sensitive it'll be firing off to even the slightest atmospheric disturbance. actual workings are related to the 2 IR sensors flanking the speaker grill which individually log IR intensities emitted by ur finger in front of the screen. an algorithm then compares these values and works out where ur finger is pointing.
AFAIK it works with help of IR Sensor and/with Proximity Sensor
If screen sensitivity does this job then ...Nokia Lumia 920 to 520 all devices all should have this feature cuz all these devices have Super Sensitive screens

The air is much more inert than your finger. The proximity/IR sensors just blast IR beams away from the phone for things like Air Gestures and have nothing to do with Air View. They certainly don't shoot beams across the surface of the screen to detect your finger. The finger hovering simply uses a more sensitive capacitive touchscreen, as Sony explains here:

This happened with me also.
The air view works in stock messaging app , gallery , flipboard and even when you dial a number if you have speed dial feeded.
For this you need to hold air view option in notification bar for about 2 seconds then a set of options will open. There you can switch on air view for messaging, gallery etc etc.

It will be the electromagnetic field that the screen is detecting from your skin/finger. The same way that on other screens, they don't work with gloves unless you have the special gloves that have conductive fingertips on them.
Nothing to do with the sensors on the top of the phone cos if you cover them up, air view still works! Plus the sensors aim out the top and at 90 degrees to the phone face, how would they sense something almost touching the screen on the bottom?

Anyone have strange issues with airview and cases?
I normally wouldn't use a screen protector but one came with the Otterbox commuter so I used it.
My airview seems to jump around with the case and screen protector.

Perhaps part of the case is sticking down to the screen protector covering the screen somewhere. Sounds to me like there is a section of the screen being held down and when you attempt to use the feature, it jolts and jumps around not knowing where you want it to move.
I noticed this issue with a couple of cases on my friends. I think it is the cover near the sensors. What they did was remove the screen protector near sensors area and widen up the sensor area if your case covers it.

Ya I may take the screen protector off. Don't really need it just need the protection from dropping it

I think it may have been the screen protector as I have removed it and works great now.

No I do not own a flex
Anyway when I put it screen down on a flat surface and touch the corners it starts rocking.
How to describe better.
One finger on left upper, one on the right down corner and touching once up once down. (Or the opposite corners, has to be diagonal)
If you have the same issue, your should feel it.
It does not distort the screen, but not sure it won't get worse in the future.
Anyone else encountered this?
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
I have this but it's because I manually replaced my screen and did not have something to put in so t wouldn't rock but since I use a case that covers the bezel it's not a problem

In my case it's the glass that's bent. Not like it's lifted, but deformed. Not sure how it really happened. Maybe the original quick window cover... or just having it in my pants

Maybe heat? or probably sat on it that made one side of the screen cave in? lol
Always have it in the front more like the heat... btw I would not even notice it.. just by accident I tapped one corner and it was not touching the table...
