Hi, I just bought my Galaxy S4 (i9500) yesterday, June 28th.
Since the moment i bought it, I am facing the following issues.
AIR VIEW:
Air View is working while I am watching videos and i want to forward them. But it doesnt work with stock email app, messaging, webpages etc. I tried disabling and re-enabling the air-view and air-gestures, but the problem isnt solved.
Smart Stay/Scroll:
Also, smart stay doesnt work, the video isnt paused when i look away from the screen. Neither does the smart scroll work with webpages.
Please help me with these issues. How can i solve them ? Do i need to change some settings ?
Thanks.

try that
menu-systen setting-my device-accessibility- and put magnification gesture to off
should help for air view
Hit thanks if that help
Thank you. The air view and air gestures are working fine. But the SMART PAUSE feature is still not working. I have enabled it in settings, but cant use it while watching videos.
PLEASE HELP..
I have the same problem. Tried several roms and kernels but no luck. If the smart stay uses the front cam to function which then cam is fully functional, I suspect is software related
Edit: latest Samsung firmware (MGG) fixed all my problems

Maybe you are blocking the front cam with your finger? Or its dirty, or you wear glasses?

Hi folks,
I just registered here but I have been lurking in this forum for a few months now. ( I laughed hard at the terms and conditions video btw)
Anyway, I just got myself a new i9500.
One quick question, I find that the airview works perfectly well on the gallery, calendar, and when viewing videos. However, when I'm trying to hover messages in the default messaging app (i'm using chomp sms by the way) I find that it doesnt work on all conversations. I mean, it would only show previews for some specific conversations. Also in the default music player, when I browse for music in folder view, I find that airview doesnt work on the very top folder. Everything else, I can get a preview on.
I've tried restarting the phone, turning off and on air gesture and everything, but its still the same. To me, it looks like a software issue. Has someone observed the same thing in their phones?
Thanks!
you will only be able to use air view when the message lenth is bigger small messages which is seen completly without hovering wont be using airview feature hope that helps

you said you are on default, but then say you are using chomp? im confused.
so does air view work on chomp sms??
Sorry, I got you confused there. I meant I'm now using chomp sms. Anyway I figured it out now, it will only work when the text message is actually longer than what the screen can display.
Has anyone figured out how to successfully install the s4 app to the s5?

Out of curiosity, what does the S4 stock browser do that is different and/or better than Chrome? The stock browser on the S3 didn't seem to do anything different than Chrome from what I could tell. Not sure if that is different on S4 as I skipped that one.

It plays embedded youtube videos without problem. Some on chrome have audio problems, either no audio or it comes out of the ear speaker instead of the rear. That's one thing I can think of that's better

Stock S4 Browser for S5
Well I like the ability to scroll through pages using the sensors like on the s4. I have enabled the hidden features that they have blocked on the s5 with Any Cut. I have shortcuts for Air gestures, Air view, Air wake up, Android beam, Motion settings, Smart Scroll, Download booster and Notification Access. Chrome is ok but I would like to side load the Stock Browser APK. Any help is well appreciated. Thank you
Chrome doesn't support Flash Player. Some web pages still use it, and it's annoying when I get a pop up saying I can't view something.
How to activate AirView to work with fingers like on Note 3?
I also miss that feature especially with speed dial. I couldn't find the option anywhere. It seems to be no longer available
It only works with s pen
Sent from my SM-N910C using XDA Free mobile app
Yes ok, work only with pen but... It's an hardware limitation or just only software?
Seems like hardware to me. When you 'hack' into the hidden settings and enable air view it still doesn't work.

hi ,
there is a thread here " somewhere " ? (Note 4 forum, sorry can't find link at moment )
Best to find it hidden deep in settings is to use a launcher eg. Nova launcher
i tried to activate it ..Nova launcher /long press home screen /select shortcut /activities ..settings select airview (finger)
etc .
i could only get air browse to work 100%( waving above pictures in stock pictures app etc) and accept air call (by waving hand over stock call screen ( ,see screenshot for info)
but still struglling to sort out air finger to work .!
good luck
If you enable ALL the airview tags. Even the one that lists nothing, but still has a toggle switch. Then it does work with your finger, like in the email and message app. However, this stops working as soon as you switch off the screen!? One of the airview tabs causes the settings to crash. I'm sure it's not a hardware issue. Someone will incorporate it all in a sweet rom soon enough. Hopefully indie over at omega rom!

No Self-Capacitive sensor
Hello.
I am sorry to say this, but Samsung removed the self-capacitive touch screen layer from the Galaxy Note 4, because it was used very rarely.
They did not think, that there must be users, that still use this.
Well, power users are only a minority, so they must satisfy minimalists.
developer[dot]sonymobile[dot]com/knowledge-base/technologies/floating-touch/
As a Junior Member, I am unable to parse links. Please forgive me for this inconvinence
The Note 3 was the only one to have three touch screen layers:
Wacom Digitizer (S-Pen)
Normal (Mutual/Multi)-Capacitance
Self-Capacitance (AirTouch)
I hope this helped (Probably not)

You could try a custom rom, maybe it's fixed there. Other then that there is not much you can do.
Smart scroll and smart stay didn't really work for me either. But this was on kitkat. Perfect conditions and they didn't work. Did exactly as samsung suggested.
Is anyone facing the issue where YouTube videos not going full screen?
The pinch to go full screen seems to be not working.
Tried different method to solve it, but doesn't seem to be working.
