Doesn't work for me either. Yet another disappointment with this phone.

Works just fine for me.

the default player "Video"... you must turn on the smart pause on smart screen settings.

Also, make sure there's sufficient light for the sensor to pick up your eye movement.

I finally got this pause thing to work, had to be directly under a light for it to work, so stupid! How many people watch video with a light shining on their face??

How is the phone suppose to track you when it can't see you?
Swyped from another galaxy

hmmm, the hand movement over the off-screen phone works even in a dark room. I think it uses the same camera to catch the hand.
anyway, the pause works, but as said - only in bright environment
By the way, the eye Pause works for YouTube app as well

I hold my hand covering the camera to reset the current face when it cannot detect. I also find it hard to get it working flawlessly.

Flash LED fluctuations

My flash led fluctuates when I take a photo or use it as a flashlight. Anyone else facing the same issue?
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App
Not for me...tried both camera and flashlight.
Sent from my R800x using Tapatalk
Yeah I experience this also when I'm recording video while the flash is on.. But it works well when I'm using this on my flashlight app..
I've had the issue before.... I thought I was seeing things cuz of the quick flickerings
Sent from my XPlay using XDA App.
Yes I have it too.
I haven't taken any videos with flash but the flashlight does it, sometimes it's steady but I notice it half of the time.
Gosh. Too many problems. I wouldn't have spend this much for a defective phone. I'm disappointed.
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App
Every LED flash does this. There's nothing wrong.
I think you didn't understand. It flickers while using the flashlight or while it's in use. I know that while taking a photo it will flash once for autofocus. I'm not referring to that.

Well clearly, thats not normal. Return it....

It is normal. The LED flash for every phone I've used does the exact same thing, jittering and flickering a little bit when keeping the flash on like when using it as a flashlight. My X10 did the same thing, but it's only slight flickering, nothing major. 100% normal, they aren't meant to be kept on for any large amount of time.
Mine does the same thing if I leave the flashlight on for more than 30 seconds
Sent from my R800
Hahah mine does the same thing but I suppose it was never supposed to be a flashlight.
I was thinking it was something to do with the quick succession flash it is supposed to deliver normally.

Isn't the gesture supposed to be your whole hand covering three screen?. The same applies to pausing video...

Go to Settings\Accessability and disable talk back or something similar. This features are for disabled people, dunno how you enabled it by mistake.

that's the proximity sensor, which you can't see with your naked eye but you can film it.

Eye gesture?

For some reason I cannot get the eye gesture to work for scrolling Web pages any suggestions? Is there a distance you have to keep your fave from the screen?

You have to tilt the phone....and just hold it like if you were watching a portrait video.....speaking of which...
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.

Also helps to hole the phone still and level and tilt your whole head just a hair or the phone...

[Q] Smart Pause/Stay Does not work

Hi All,
Smart pause while watching videos on Stock video app is not working, i am on 802 Intnl version. The icon comes up showing that it is trying to detect, but video does not pause. Phone is not rooted.
Smart stay is also not working, again the icon comes up trying to detect a face, but screen turns off.
Is there anything i am doing wrong?
Anyone else having any similar issues, should i get it exchanged?

Then what I'd do is:
1. Factory reset
2. Reflash ROM
3. Exchange phone

Ya i guess will do that, but a little later. Phone works fine otherwise and honestly i don't even think i will use any of this features, maybe wait for a few months and then get a new one in exchange
It won't work in dark environment, you need to be in good light.
