Messaging app zoomed in (solved) - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Ok...im going crazy trying to figure this out...last night I went to go text someone and noticed it was zoomed in...like the threads/text was larger...I ignored it as I was in a rush and figured I accidently zoomed in somehow like a pinch to zoom feature...
However today I can figure out how to zoom out or zoom in and its driving me crazy...ive checked accessibility settings and its nothing there, cant find anything in the messaging settings, double tapping does nothing pinching does nothing...
im going crazy lol and starting to wonder if it really is zoomed in or if its just my mind playing tricks on me...

Reverse pinch. Finger spread?

There's an option in messages settings to change the text size with the volume rockers. See if that's checked and press volume down on the message. Should fix itself.

stuck in portrait mode

Flashed euro rom 2 days ago. Everyhing worked fine til this morning. It's stuck in portrait mode. Can't find settings to change it. Tried rebooting and it didn't work. Googled and found no answers. Anyone have a suggestion?
Have you checked the orientation lock? If you look at the pull down notification bar, it should be one of the buttons (its the one on the far right on my tab, it should be the same for you).

Don't worry. Happened to me too a while ago. Spent a few days uninstalling and reinstalling stuff that I thought might be causing it...turns out it was the lock.
im stuck in portrait mode
orientation lock works but im stuck in portrait mode regardless of how its set
movies still play in landscape mode but nothing else is landscape
ive only had the device for a couple of days so it cant be a hardware issue and ive never touched any system files,
can this be fixed or has anyone else experienced this?
edit:
fixed with a hard reset
(i think it was launcher pro that caused it but not totally sure)

[Q] can not text in full screen with froyo

Tap "rotation" in the pull down down menu should do it.

Home button lag

Anyone notice a 1-2 second lag time when you click the home button?
I notice that I can close the app drawer much faster if I use the capacitive back button to the right of the home button, instead of the home button. I read another post that this might be due to S Voice because it is waiting to see if you will double click the home button to activate A voice. Tried disabling s voice but still have lag.
It's getting a little annoying for me especially considering that the rest of the phone is so snappy.

Disable the S-Voice home-button double-tap in settings and the lag disappears.
Where in settings is this located in can't seem to find it.

This eliminates about 50% of the lag. Hopefully someone comes up with a fix for it.

Air View not working

You know how if you hover your finger over a picture in the gallery or an item in your calender or an SMS, you'll get a pop up of it?
Well I used to be able to do that to emails and whats app messages in the notification menu. The thing you pull down from the top when you get a notification.
Now I cant see those pop ups with air view.
How did it get disabled?
Pull down your notif bar>long press air view
You'll find a looot of things to tick and untick there

I didnt get it.
What do you mean?
My problem is that before, if I got an email or a whatsapp message, I hover my finger over the notification of the message in the notification pulldown menu, I can see the message.
I already have "information preview" enabled in the Air View menu.
I used to be able to do Air View over notifications like gmailor whatsapp, but now I cant.
You have to enable "information preview" under airview settings.

try to disable magnification gestures under settings > my device > accessibility
Wait you meant that you could use air view for notifications on the pull down bar? I thought it was restricted to only Samsung apps.

Yes I could see pop ups.
So if I got a whatsup message, I hover my finger over it and a pop up window (like in SMS for example) appears with the message. It was very handy.
Same thing for gmail emails.
Suddenly it stopped working.

Meh. I think it was a fluke that it worked. Then it went back to not working.

What was a fluke?
It worked for 4 days.
I even showed it to a friend and he tried it on his S4 in front of me and it worked.
Then suddenly it stopped working.
I've been trying every time I get a notification all day since that day.
Even when it did work, it was sorta random. Sometimes it'd work and sometimes it wouldn't.

Hm. Strange. Perhaps you could try a nandroid backup then factory reset to see if it works again?
no one else had air view for notifications?
No Air View in the standard email app
LastPass was the culprit for me. Disabling it in Accessibility gave me back my Air View in the standard email app. So to any that are having issues with Air View not working it is most certainly an app. First look at anything in Accessibility that is associated with any app that you've added and disable it.
On 4.2.2 MGA (and older chrome version) airview worked as mouseover, it was SOOO good popup menus etc.
It didn't work all the time though.
Had random occurrences too when it's worked in other non samsung apps like WhatsApp like you said. Also when I used a remote desktop I could move the Windows pointer around without even touching the screen! But I've searched and searched and no one seems to have a definite answer how and why!!

Hi,
Same here! I was on 4.2.2 stock on my S4 GT-i9505 for about a year, i used to preview Facebook comments, Whatsapp messages just hovering my finger and a pop-up showed the entire message. But since I upgraded to 4.4.2 , i missed that!
Anyone solved this?! :good:
edit: remember that on 4.2.2 i could preview the messages only if i pull down the notifications with the SCREEN LOCKED (slide to unlock) and then hovering my finger.

Hey fellas! I just recorded a video showing that feature on Facebook notification in S4 Wanamlite Kit Kat ROM. But for some reason it shows for a few mili-seconds. browse on youtube for "air view hovering facebook notifications"
So, thats possible to expand notifications just hovering the finger. Just need a fix to pop-up remains for a long time!
Anyone?! :good:

Air Gestures will let you navigate by waving your hand. Instead of swiping your finger from picture to picture in your gallery, you can wave your hand instead. You can even answer your phone without picking it up. You will find quick on/off toggles for both Air View and Air Gestures in your notification pull down, but you might need to fine tune the settings a little. Just hit the break for our video showing you how to set them up and how to use them.

Camera Settings Help

In the camera app is there a way to get the little white icon settings to stay what you set them to??
I really want Exposure, ISO, etc there instead of the defaults.
Drives me nuts that I have to keep editing the shortcuts every time I re open the app.

Thanks. I know how to edit them, but the annoyance is that whatever you edit them to never stays when you close the app. :banghead: On my HTC they are remembered.
I'm hoping there is a root edit to fix this.
