Smart Scrolling...

Smart scrolling feature apparently isnt working... I've noticed when I'm browsing that small green eye does not show up on the screen...
Is it normal or its the settings issue... Although I do see that little eye (greyed out) on top on my screen all the time ... It changes to white at times and then turns back to grey ....
Can anyone plz tell me what to do....
Thanks

Are you using the original browser and not , for example Chrome etc. ?
When you see the green eye, it will work.
Smart scrolling works better if you actually move your head up and down, not just your eyes.
The other mode is , you have to tilt the phone back or forward to scroll.

I'm using stock browser... As explained earlier I don't see the green eye on my screen.... The Air View seems to be working fine...

Have you actually enabled all the functions within the SmartScroll settings?

I believe so... But some how at times it says to enable smart scroll enable at least one of the relavent functions.... Very strange... I believe all functions r enabled... More over when I try to test this function under help, it still doesn't do anything....

One of two possible reasons:
1. The sensor doesn't detect your eyes due to low light. Good light conditions are crucial.
2. Software or hardware fault

Yes... All features are activated.... Still no luck..
At times when I switch it off and switch it on again it says....
To enable Smart Scroll, enable at least one of the relevant function...
Strange....

Smart Scroll on Samsung Galaxy S4 lets you scroll a web page via tilting your Head or Device. The camera sees your eyes and then you can move your Head or* your device to start scrolling. Follow these steps:
*
1.Go to Setting
2.Go to My Device tab
3.Tap on and open “Smart Screen”
4.Tap on the actual words “Smart Scroll” and make sure it is enabled
5.There, you have 2 options
************* a.Tilting head: you need to move your head to scroll
************* b.Tilting device: you need to move your device to scroll

Mate,
It's still not working... By the way is it in any way connected to any samsung apps??? The reason being that I have disabled some of the Samsung apps (which I thought were a bloatware)...
For your info, my front camera seems to be working fine... No problems what so ever...
By the way is there any way that I can check specifically if its a software or hardware issue??? if yes, plz let me know exactly what I should be check with regards to hardware/software...
Thanks in advance

Marhaba. It uses the other sensors to detect eyes. Actually an infrared led light. I believe it wont work with light behind you.
Anyways in the settings did you touch the area to the left of the on button? There is a deeper menu there.
Finally iyit seems like a siftwarw bug. Do you ever see the notification icon turn white from gray to indicate tracking?

If I were you I'd restore all the removed Samsung bloatware and have a base to start from.

@ MODS......
Please close this thread. ... I figured what the problem was....
[SOLVED]
It was due to the app LightFlow.... When u enable it in Phone Settings under Accessibility, u lose certain featues rather I should say they stop working....

Knock on kernel galaxy s3

Hey guys, I need your help. I'm going berserk, because I've been searching a good kernel for my galaxy s3 (WITH CYANOGENMOD 10.2) that have the knock on function (double tap to wake the display) like the LG G2. Can you help with a list of kernel that have this function also COMPATIBLES with my CYANOGENMOD 10.2??
Thx

This double tap feature does not exist for our phone. Touch2wake is also only available for a few seconds after the screen goes off. Everything else would just drain the battery. According to boeffla our hardware wouldnt support the double tap to wake feature without sucking battery

Ok... I will put boeffla for the battery and others personalitations cause now I've already cyano kernel. Thanks

boeffla just has a single tap wake not a double tap
it can be only used to wake for a few seconds after the screen is turned off
does anyone know how to "control" this function ?? i mean , without tweaking it manually. An app for example... Nexus has touch control but this kernel is not suported in touchcontrol..
cheers !

Use Boeffla Config from the Playstore. You can change the delay of the Touchwake with that.
Check boeffla-kernel.de for the documentation.
ok installed Boeffla... Allllll right

But there is a function to wake up with proximity sensor. It doesn't suck battery much. So, it would be good if someone could write a code to combine proximity wake up to implement knock2wake. 1) after pick up phone from pocket, proximity sensor could power on the touch layer,
and stay active for a defined period - 10-20 seconds. Then double tap should unlock the device.
What do you think about it?

Not really sure. If it's in the middle then it could be crt off effect. But your phone must be rooted to do that

Try the test menu and check your display. Possibly a screen issue.

Type * #0* # (no spaces)
Then check the screen. -- possibly just a screen effect though if only when locking/unlocking.

I'am having the same problem aswell. It is really annoying. My phone is just 2 days old.
Edit: I have contacted to samsung and they toldme to bring the phone to a service center. I've been told I have a rigt to request a new phone or refund. I couldnt decide what I want to do. Because I really like this phone but there are alot of problems whit it. Apart from that screen problem. My phone freezes and restarts itself ramdomly and there is a problem with wifi connectivity

up to now... I don't think it is visible AFAIK.
And if you try to google out there, there is/are app(s) which manipulate this function, by keep screen on, and make the color of the screen turn black (as if it is off). And it is working only with OLED display.
I never use/try it, because I don't really like the idea with my N3, whereby I have the s-view attached already.
