Motion on ATT version not working?

it just mine but motion isn't working. i'm ready to exchange if thats the case. my guinea pig phone*

Just double checking that you actually have it turned on??
I have the International version, but they should be the same. Green check mark in box to turn on. Green sliders on options means on. Gray off. Pretty self explanatory. Again, just double checking.

ofc they are all turned on- that's why i'm posting this thread. anyways i'm waiting on someone who has the att version to try it out

Nice first defective ATT S3 worst part is theres no where u can take it in to get it exchanged for at least a few days =/

I have the AT&T version as of about 5 hours ago and although I have not tested all the motion controls, the ones I have all work. Tap top, moving icons on homescreens, tilt to unlock, tilt to zoom are all ones I know are working for sure. I will let you know if I find any that are not.
edit: I just tested pan images and it works too.

Try restarting? See if that might work.

i did restart several. pan does work strangely (holding icon to place on a home screen), but screen capture, tapping top, and prolly a bunch of others i didn't try dont work. no problem i'll just play with this till they get new ones. 30 days is fine

Did you try recalibrating it? That's a really important and potentially easy fix. Sorry if you said you did; I'm tired and didn't read carefully.

yes turning on motion, calibrating, etc were all the things i first did before posting this thread. i just want to mainly see if mine is defective or if its a universal thing

How about a factory reset? I think it's always a good idea to factory reset out of the box before getting the phone setup for daily use.

My S3 seems to be doing ok, I calibrated it on a perfectly level surface, and has been fine since.

all motion feature is not working??

Try palm screen capture, won't work (motion is on).
Back to Power+Home work just fine

You actually have to touch the screen with the side of you hand and sweep it across. You can't just sweep it without touching.

Nexus 4 Wireless Charging Case

Does anyone know if the wireless charging will work with any case on the phone? Or does this feature require no case to function with the charging orb that Google demonstrated in the video.

Well it probably depends on the size, but I presume it won't work for most if not all cases, since proximity is pretty key for it, not only for holding it in place (in case of the official accessory) but also for charging.

I figured it probably would not work. I was going to purchase this phone for my gf, but she is very clumsy and absolutely needs a case.

Do you think that a simple TPU case would affect the wireless charging?

It shouldn't affect the wireless charging of the phone. Something that's multi-layered like the Otterbox Defender might, but that may be more a problem with the case being too thick to allow the magnetic base to hold the phone in place, rather than the charging current not being able to get through. And remember, you can still charge it via the included USB cord and plug (although I'd rather use the wireless charging myself, just because I've never had that on a phone before). :good:

somewhat off topic, but it applies to cases. android beam requires two devices to touch, so will android beam still work even with a case on the phone?

It's not magnets that hold its in place; its just the rubber grip

NFC has a further range than wireless charging.

Everyone is saying the magnet will hold it in place...It might not be the case with Google Nexus 4 inductive charging orb. Matías Duarte mentioned how cool it was that you got inductive charging and the rubber on the orb which made the back glass stay put....

Energizer Wiimote Inductive Charger?

Just wondering if anybody has tried, specifically, the Energizer inductive charger for Wii Remotes? It has slots for 2 Wii remotes and uses Qi. I picked one up at Gamestop for $11.99 used ($20 new), and if it does work, this would probably be the cheapest charger out there. Just wanted some feedback to hopefully help others. I'll report back once my phone arrives.
UPDATE - got my phone today and can confirm the Wii "Qi" charger does not seem to work. I will disassemble it over the holidays and see if I can do anything with it, since it is useless now anyway! I note that someone in this thread got it to charge, so I am going to try placing both inductive parts in the centre and see if that does it!

I'm interested in this too..,

This review says it's QI
http://pineconeattack.com/2010/02/02/wii-energizer-induction-charge-station-review/

I have the four remote version of that pad sitting next to my Wii right now. When Google finally decides to send me my N4 (Play Store status: Complete, order date changed to the 17th, and received BOE) I will test it out and let you know.

Once you get your nexus update please if it does indeed work I'll buy one

This is interesting. Please update if it works when you receive your Nexus 4.

Any update? Thanks.

I just got my phone today, and have the wiimote charger, but I'm stuck at work for another 2 hours...
When I get home I'll try it out and see how it goes.

Thank you. Please let us know the result.
I just got my phone yesterday too. Very interested if it works.

It didn't seem to work for me. :crying:
I made sure the wiimotes still charged properly on the pad, so I know it's not the pad. The phone definitely stuck to the pad w/ magnets like it's supposed to, but then it just sat there. The pad didn't blink in recognition of a device being present, and no screen-on or charging indication on the phone at all.
So much for using this pre-existing solution for inductive charging!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who tried this. I actually bought one of these to try with my Droid DNA, I plan on getting a Nexus 4 as my second phone (currently a Galaxy Nexus) as soon as I'm able to and I thought this would be great. Good thing is now I got a nice charger for my wii remotes.
I still wonder if there is some kind of simple hack that would make it work.

I didn't think the wiimote charger was Qi. Its more like a power mat which doesn't work either with Qi wireless charging.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

It is Qi, it sould work.

IT WORKS... sort of
So here it is, I found the sweet spot. :victory:
Line it up with the wiimote indention and leave about 1in at the top and about 1/3in at the bottom.
The catch?
It only stays charging while the phone is completely powered off. Leaving the phone on seems to cause it to charge intermittently... to the point that it only slows down the power drain and doesn't really charge it.
This is more than likely going beside my bed as I'm assuming that even with the power off it's going to charge ridiculously slowly.

Great info. Did you have 'DayDream' mode turned off in display settings? This mode turns on display when charging, uses alot of power and can cause overheating when inductive charging. I am using the Energizer Qi charger and have "DayDream' turned off and it works well. The standard Qi spec has 19v power supply. What are the specs on the Energizer Wii power supply.

Output is 2.8v 480mA. I tried taking it apart and messing with it too - no dice on a decent charge.

it needs 5v 1000ma to work correctly.

[Q] Nexus 7 Screen magically cracks..

The most "wonderful" thing happened today.
Here's the story:
I bought my Nexus 7 tablet a few months ago. I love this tablet, it's by far the best I've used. Today, I placed my tablet on my table after using it, and turned on some music on my laptop and danced around. It did not fall, didn't fly off, or run and fall down (what?). It was there the ENTIRE time. I then went back after a snack, turned off my music and decided to watch something on Netflix in bed. But one thing alarmed me. The bottom portion (equal to where the camera is on the top) had a gross crack, which extended in three sections to about the bottom half of the screen.
What. The. Heck. ??? Was what I promptly said as I stared at the crack. Now normally I'd shake it off and say "If I can use it, it's fine." HOWEVER, I can use the upper portion and some of the middle, I CANNOT use the bottom half. What does that mean? WELL guess what. It means I can't press the home, back, or other button. So I basically can't use it. Not a good idea after all, is it? I also can't type some letters. If it was in the toppish, I'd be fine with it. But this is ridiculous.
Funny, this happened before with a certain Dell laptop. Closed it. Placed on table after going upstairs. Lifted screen. Huge black gash on it.
Amusing on how cheap products are these days. For paying $199 I wasn't expecting pure gold, but this? Is it THAT sensitive? Please.. what kind of luck do I have.
Now to where I need help. What can I do now?? I sold my cracked laptop for $150, got a $50 from my Dad, and now it just CRACKS. And he woulldn't believe me after the other laptop. Now let me do say I take great care of my things. My phone has no cracks, or dents, or scratches and I've had it even longer. Is it possible to fix it? Please help. why me.. Is there some way I could move where the 3 buttons are? ugh.

You could buy a OTG cable and use a mouse on your nexus 7. As long you can see the screen to click on things. You can pickup a OTG cable for couple dollars on amazon or eBay.
If you bought the tablet from Google store. Try contacting them about trying to get it fixed. If you bought it else where you would have to contact Asus about it.

So no LED on back for Verizon?

If I have one, mine is not blinking.

It works on mine, no real need for it though.

Wonder if I need to turn it on....Blinking on front....not on back. I have it flipped on screen and nothing.

Make a call and see if it comes on. During the call it should slowly pulsate.

haven't tried lightflow because it never worked on my GS3/GS4, and i only used it on my nexus back when i bought it...mainly bc there was some bad battery drain issues apparently.
wonder if they'll update for the back led?
