Does anybody actually use it?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I used to use it but it only worked 50% of the time so I don't use it. Wish I could tho.

My face is too ugly.
I really think Google has no excuse on this not working. There is a app in the market that worked for this exact same thing, face unlock for the phone AND apps, and I tried that and I found it worked 110% of the time
The face unlock was supposedly designed to work with the front camera on the Galaxy Nexus(which has a higher resolution than ours), but I've had no problems using it on my NS4G. You just need to take several face training shots in different lighting conditions.

I only use it when people request to see it lmao. Then I quickly switch to something else. It doesn't always recognize my face though. I'm never in perfect lighting which makes it worse
I though this was interesting - thought I'd make a new thread for random interesting little things.
I just watched a video about air view, and the samsung said that in the (stock?) browser, holding the pen above anything on a web page
will act as if you were hovering your mouse pointer above the same thing on a regular browser.

I assume this is the forum you wanted, if not PM me.
This works on Note 1 (N7000) stock ICS too. Works on my non-rooted stock Note 1 on N7000JPLR8 ROM.
Mine too on LRT

There is an interesting spen power saving option - it turns off the wacom detection if the stylus is Inside the slot. What this means in practical terms is that you save battery, but you can't use a secondary stylus in the meantime.

That's a nice addition. Does it take a while for the wacom to start up again when you pull the pen out?

The technology used to power the S-Pen.
Found a couple of things that I'd thought I comment on.
There's an option where if you pull out the s-pen, it opens up the s-memo so you can start writing right away. Nice.
If you stick the s-pen back in, it automatically closes the s-memo too, and saves the contents. Very slick!
I'm also very happy the sms program has a 're-notify me every 2/10 minutes' if I haven't read the message.
Notification light helps a lot with this, of course, but it's nice to have the phone re-vibrate if it's in your pocket!
I wish we had renotify for calls too! I tried 'vibrate notifier' but it was kind of flakey on the note 1. Have to retry on JB/Note 2.

You can now adjust the brightness slider even when it's on auto brightness.

Today I set up an appointment for a colegue (we share Google calendars)
It had a time and location. A bit later the phone notified me it was time to leave for the appointment. It had calculated the time it would take to get to the meeting location from where I was and when I should leave.
That's clever

Damn, that is smart. Wonder if it used google traffic to consider any delays as well?
Everyday, google is getting closer and closer to knowing exactly what we do, where we go, who we interact with, etc... scary but who cares.
Holding the s-pen above a web page or any list...will scroll the page...without even touching the screen.

Technically, that's a feature of Google Now, available on any device running JB.
Using stock keyboard you can pinch to change to one handed keyboard and then rhe opposite to go back to the normal keyboard.
It's a little sporadic - anyone know how to do it seamlessly???

Hovering over an appointment with the SPen in Calendar will act like a mouse over and give you more detail. Works great in Month and Weekly views. Scrolling works here as well.

Coming from an s3 I was able to use my finger nail if I wanted to click on stuff and scroll. No joke I can post a video lol.
Just got my nexus four tonight and I love the phone overall but the touch sensitivity is really bad. Any ideas how I can improve it?

There's a mod in one of the Dev forums... I haven't used it but it seems to be working for those that have installed it.

Lol You're fingernail at the time you were using your s3 must have been short, thus allowing your finger as well to touch the screen without you noticing it. And now that you use your nexus 4, you're fingernail is long again..
P.S. Peace I come in peace

On the n4 I press as hard as I want with my nail and it won't click anything.

This topic doesn't make sense. How does the screen suck when nails aren't supposed to be able to work on a capacitive screen normally?

I never said the screen sucks. I said the touch sensitivity does. And I was using my nail as a comparison between the s3 and n4 screen touch sensitivity.
Your reading and comprehension sucks.

Really? What are you touching then when you're testing the sensitivity? Do you even understand how capacitive screens work?
The sensitivity mod allows you to tap with the back of fingernail (i know i tried lol). It uses the earlier touch driver, but it does have the side affect of making the phone stall for a minute or more when first booted up; but if used with the supplied modded stock kernel you only have this happen once, also 'Matr1x' kernel also has this feature.

Everything and anything on my phone.
Even if I put my finger on the screen slowly without adding too much pressure it will not recognize the touch...try it.
I guess I'm just used to the s3 really sensitive touch screen.

Can you scroll on your home screen or click on apps with your finger nail?
Can you tap on an app with your finger ever so slightly, but definitely make contact with the glass, on an app icon or keyboard, and no action happens? Meaning the app doesn't open or the letter pressed isn't typed in...

I can scroll with the back of my fingernail, and can open apps with a very small amount of pressure. I don't see why I would use my fingernail anyway

Lol you wouldn't. I was just using that as a reference to my s3. I could do it on the s3 but not my n4.
Is it possible I got a defect or what? Did you flash the mod...

I can't do either. My sensitivity is really bad. It's really annoying when I'm typing so fast and half the letters pressed don't register.

Wow most of you are assholes.. I stopped reading after the 3rd negative response. Does anyone know what an example is? That is what the OP was saying when they said they could select things with their fingernail. It does not mean that they want it to do that but only showing an example of its sensitivity that their other phone had and I can tell you that you CANNOT do this on the Nexus 4 unless you push somewhat. My GS2 would scroll with no issues by grazing the screen I actually have to push before doing the mod.
There is a temp fix and it works fairly well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028289

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THE WHOLE LOOK AWAY PAUSE WORKING ON THIS PHONE?!?!?!?! Since day one I've been trying to get that to work and nothing....not one single time did that damn feature work....
I hope I helped @corybucher if so hit the thanks =) lol
P.S. corybucher ........this is in the wrong section...it's supposed to go in Q&A a mod will probably move you soon
believe the look away pause feature is only for the stock video player
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
The look away or "Smart Pause" feature also works in the youtube app. It worked for me without even trying and is definitely a cool feature to show off the s4. Just make sure you enable "Smart Pause" in the settings under settings, my device, smart screen.

I am starting to record my driving every time I get in the car. I'm just using the camera app but I might switch to a dedicated car dash cam app.
My friend was recently hit in the front of her car. It was totally the other guy's fault but he's claiming that she went into his lane, which is utter BS. Anyway, long story short, a lot of our friends are going to start recording our driving, esp since we all have 64gb micro SD cards anyway...may as well put that storage to good use!
I'm really happy with the results of the recorder except one major issue is that the video is really shaky even though I have it attached to a mount on the windshield.
Is there any way to dampen or absorb the vibrations of the car so the recording can be more clear?
Try the video stabilization in camera settings
I tried that, it makes no noticeable difference.

I've considered doing this a number of times but the thought of using my phone as a cam while a nice dual use feature, it not really that practical. I am also afraid it would get damaged way too easily for that type of purpose when a second device which is desiged to do it will do it better, be a lot more rugged and capable.
I am getting a Drift Innovation HD Ghost for this purpose. They actually make a much less expensive one that does 720 which is more than enough for dash cam usage, but the HD Ghost has a DVR like mode which records over the same memory device automatically and easily saves an incident with the click of a button for later playback. Still a lot of money, but it would keep the phone being my phone and do a much better job at recording the vehicle in motion.
I tried it and 60fps makes no difference.
