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.

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.

Black lines on the camera?

Just wondering if any one else has experienced this problem where occasionally black lines appear across the screen on the camera? Seems like a battery problem to me.. any ideas?

That looks remarkably like Interlacing. Using a US model, by any chance?
It's probably just the software re-rendering the live view.

Have you tried emptying the data and cache of the camera app? Cleared the phone cache? Factory reset?

All of the above, plus do you have any pending software updates available to you? Does it do it everywhere you go? I thought I had a problem with my N2 camera once, but it was actually the florescent lighting in the room.

I see the lines in the original video! Can I ask what did you use to take that video of the screen? I'm still waiting on the AT&T version, but as soon as it gets in, I'll be looking for that issue as well. The Camera app is probably the most important to me.

Anyone got the rear LED working with Lightflow?

Anyone figured out how to get the rear power button LED working with lightflow or similar? Lightflow controls the front LED nicely, and I've played with controlling the other LED's with it, but none of them work, and I'm not sure which is supposed to be the rear LED. It would be really cool to get it to flash for texts and such.
Are you referring to this or something more detailed?

I have that checked, but it doesn't do anything, at least for me. Front LED works great, no luck on the rear one. Does yours work? I'm on CM11
That's for "button back light" meaning the light behind the front buttons not "back button light". Big difference there.
Sent from my LG-G2 using Tapatalk
Thanks for clarifying. I actually wondered about that. But I couldn't figure out what difference it would make my checking it. I never have my phone facing down to really care what the light on the back button is doing anyway. Lol

I'm on CM 11 and it seems like the light turns on when i get a call and SOMETIMEs when I get a text but thats it.
i would like the rear light button on the back to act exactly as if i was in stock.
Well I tried it out and bought the pro version of light flow and to say I'm dissapointed. The control of the back light does work but it doesn't pulse or pulse slowly on and off. the power button light just stays lit.

You have to go to settings go all the way down the page and it should be listed in additional LEDs as button blacklight. I enabled 1 and 2 because I think I enabled just one and half of the button lit up when I enabled both the button was fully lit

It would depend on which Mod. I always suggest making a Nanroid and then try flashing several Camera mods till you find on what works to your liking.

The camera is rather annoying on this device.
Camera MODs will improve the camera; It focuses faster, removes the "lag" in the viewfinder and massively improves the AI mode. Unfortunately, the "painted" effect is still there when you zoom in but it does make a noticeable difference.
Shame, because the camera is the only thing letting this device down.
Here's the mod that I applied - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548974
I couldn't get any of the files to work but the dev recently posted this test version which worked for me - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48688463&postcount=703

"Ok Google" Anywhere breaks video recording.

Just in case you weren't already aware. The "OK Google" hot word detection apparently breaks the ability to record video. It makes the camera app think your on a call. Kinda crazy. I hope it's something on the Google end and they fix it. I was using it for the last day and LOVED it!

Semi on topic, but this also breaks the alarm when the phone is plugged in. The phone thinks that you are on a phone call, so it doesn't let the alarm fire with sound.

It's not strange really. Always listening makes the phone think you're in a phone call. Alarms don't go off when you're talking on the phone. This is an oversight in design.
