go into settings, about phone, and tap on I believe it was build number about 10 times. this will activate developers mode. back out one and you should see the new option unlocked

[Q] 2 screen?

My question is:
Is there a way to have two things running on the screen at the same time like the s note2. granted i know the screen is not the same size but i do think it is big enough to have the function. and if so how ca it be done????
Sorry that is multiview and that is a Samsung feature. I believe we will never see that on the N4. Dev's are trying to get it to work on S3 and still have not got it.

There a some multiview apps available in Google Play i think. Don`t know if they run on non-samsung devices. Don`t use them myself so i can`t name one.

Not to get off subject, but your signature reminds me of the thing that I miss the most about my s3. Wicked ROM.

I noticed that the lg optimus g has it in the notification bar where you switch by selecting it and fading it out to see the other screen. I've been looking to see if there is something out there that could be flashed.

[Q] Touch detected incorrectly right after power on

This has been happening since I remember getting the device. About 3/5 times when I bring my device out of standby and I go to enter my pattern the touch is off. I have "show touches" enabled in developer options to verify this.
When I put my finger on the top left dot of the 3X3 pattern, which is around the middle-left of the screen, it is detecting that I'm touching the device all the way in the top left corner. If I drag my finger around the screen, the touch is offset. If I remove my finger from the screen and place it back on the screen, then it is properly detected.
I didn't run on stock for very long, maybe an hour or two, before I rooted and flashed AOKP. Right now I'm on WhiteHawkx's unnoficial AOKP nightly and Franco's Kernel (r122).
My plan is to flash back to stock and see if it still happens then. But currently I have a really busy week ahead and don't have time so looking for insight.
Anyone else experience something like this?
No one? So I guess I should call Google for a warranty exchange?

Try recalibrating the touch screen, I think there's an option in settings.

I posted in that thread a while ago about this issue and no one confirmed. Thanks for your reply. I'm going to go back to stock this weekend and run it for a couple days to verify.

Let me know your results. If it persists, I might have to send mine back.
I'm on stock ROM. I have this issue too, when I power on and drag to unlock, I get a delayed mismatched response. I have to power off then back on again.
It started this recently, so might be app related.

Turn on " show touches" in developer options to help verify if you the save thing happening.
I don't have to reboot mine but I have to lift finger of screen and put back on to get it to properly detect where the touch should be.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
So just as a follow up I reverted to stock for 5 days and didn't see this issue. Flashed back to AOKP and Franco kernel and now it's happening randomly when I go to hang up a call. I tap on the red hang up bar and it detects the touch in the top left corner.
I called Google play support but since I didn't buy my device from them they directed me to lg.
I'm starting to think it's my screen protector.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
lol, I had insensitivity issues on the bottom of the screen way back, I use a displayed pin pad on lockscreen so I just tap a certain spot to unlock, I sometimes wonder why the digitizer register incorrectly.
flashing a different kernel helped, I'm using motleys.
Have had this problem since launch, im on stock rooted, maybe its a certain app?
If anyone wants to compare their apps with me to find a similar problem, shoot me a pm

[Q] quick toggles disappeared

Got my shiny s4 the other day, all working well.
Now I did get an ota yesterday, don't know if this has anything to do with my issue.
The first day I could pull down the notifications area with two fingers to get all the quick settings.
Then there was all twenty or so toggles.
Now it's just the 7 basic ones.
And I can't add more from the settings, unless there is some hidden menus...
Any help appreciated!
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I also have this issue. I had loads of toggles when first got phone then all of a sudden I only have 7. No toggle for air view, ect
Okay, good to know I'm not they only one...
But what to do?
Going for root and a custom Rom as soon as there is somethin stable out there.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
Wild guess, have you turned on Talkback under Accessibility?
Nope, no talkback...
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
Mine all disappeared once, and I had no toggles at all.
A factory reset brought them back up again.
Did you root and backup?

Help! Installed Chainfire3D by accident.

This has been accidentally installed (Chainfire3D) on my Rooted SGS4 AT&T 1337 MF3 - Now it is stuck on boot. Anyway to remove it?
Thanks in advance.
One would have to go through the process of clicking yes a few times and starting/setting up the app after installing. This doesn't sound like a full blown accident unless you had no idea what it does. The only way to remove it is through adb.

Yea, that's a hell of an accident. Sounds like the worst case of suicide I ever saw. Guy shot himself 6 times in the chest with a shot gun. And the shot gun only held 2 shells.

To be honest, I saw the reviews and didn't even think if the app was compatible for the SGS4. Stupid move... I know! Any idea how to do the adb thing. Is there a windows app?

You're going to want to delete the chainfire apk (I don't know it's exact file name) from /system/app.
There is also drivers from it that need to be deleted. Google will tell you.

Did you have enable usb debug checked in the developer options on your phone. If not adb it's not going to work.
That is only to access adb while in the OS if I am not mistaken. Download mode and recovery are not part of he OS and therefore do not need debugging turned on.

I never turned it off. I always leave it on.
Its pointing back to waiting... Is there a way to push a different graphics driver over using ODIN.
Chainfire is out of my expertise. I wish i could be of more assistance.

If it was... I would have already been done.
Well I figured you wee trying everything possible before resorting to that.
There are 2 methods to get into recovery.
Power+volume up
When the splash screen shows, release power.
When the blue text shows in the upper left corner you can release the volume button.
If that method does not work
Volume up+home+power
When the splash screen shows, only release power.
When the blue text pops in the upper left corner you can release home and volume up.
Maybe this can help if you are having trouble getting to recovery.

Once I see the blue text, it pops the "Downloading... Do not tur off target!!!" right away. Even with the steps you mentioned.
That is very strange... It should be booting recovery, not download mode...

Yeah you need to have a custom room or xposed mod to get the setting back.

For SMS/MMS, I installed Textra and turned off the native messaging app. Textra allows you to not wake up the screen in settings. Not exactly a fix, but I'm liking the app so far.
