Hi,
I have a Galaxy S4 i9505 (Snapdragon version) running a google play edition rom (4.3).
ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272
I noticed recently after holding my phone in front of my webcam that the gesture sensor is active whilst the screen is on, its constantly blinking . As there is no use for it in this rom I'm sure this must either be a bug or that it does this by default.

My question is... Is this normal for the google play edition roms, Or is it just my device?
Thanks,

Have anyone tested screen cast screen recorder on S4 ? My phone was rooted and tested with paid app but unfortunately every time i tried to record, i am getting black videos ? Is there anyway I record record my screen on S4 ?
Ok i own a GTi9505 with current rom from sammobile google edition/stock all fine except when using the stock camera if i select HDR mode the focus icon, occasionally after taking a few HDR's wont work it seems to stay focused on whatever it was previously even if i touch to focus on an object at a different distance?

Hey guys,
Just received my Google Play Edition Galaxy S4, and one of the first things I notice is that the capacitive button (Menu and Back) timeout is set to approx 1-2 seconds.
This is the case with the regular (international) version of the Galaxy S4 as well, but in the regular version you can easily disable the key light timeout under Display -> Touch key light duration. I cannot however find a setting to keep the buttons lit (with the screen) in the Google Play Edition S4.
The questions:
Could a third party app fix this problem? Are there such apps available already? Would root be necessary?
Buying this device I had no intentions of rooting and loading a custom ROM onto it, but this key light thing is going to bug me no end so I might have to reconsider.
I'm sorry if the answer is obvious and I'm just a blind fool, or if the question has been asked and answered before. I did a few searches but could not find anything relevant to the i9505G.
Cheers!

BUMP.
I've enabled the software navigation bar on the Google Edition on a US AT&T S4,
The only problem is that the capacitive lights come on when I press home/back/recent apps software keys.
Is there any way to modify settings of the light duration?
Help greatly appreciated
Keeping capacitive buttons lit in Google Edition S4 [i9505G]
BUMP
This is so annoying. How could Google even think about shipping the Google Edition with this BUG?
Such a flaw is in no way excusable. You really have to be not testing Google Edition S4 to not see this.
Any chance of a solution here?
Anybody sort this out??

I switched to my S4 from S2 and since i use my phone as GPS navigation, radio (when need to) etc. i frequently used s2 dedicated vehicle dock. It always switch my phone to driver mode, which was - chaning screen (including touchwiz!!!) to horizontal position if it phone was in horizontal position, phone'ing and answering automaticlly turned on loud speaker so i could hear someone from it etc.
I've recently bough the S3 mount and i'm not so happy with it. But what i miss most in S4 is that auto-driving-mode-things. I know S4 has driving mode, but it doesnt rotate touchwiz and doesnt auto turn on speaker for phone calls. Is there an app or some way (mod) for me to use such things? I'm on MH8 with root so as long as it doesn't require custom kernel/recovery i should be able to use it (though it would be best to use just normal app, should be enough).
Also i prefer touchwiz and if there is possibility i'd like to stick with it (for that auto-rotate thing, i know that other lauchner have that ability from start).
hi
just gone from an S4 to an S5 and notice sammy has removed the cool lights effect unlock screen that was on the S4.
It was the one where you hover your finger over the screen and the light appears.
Any one know of a mod so i can have this on my S5?
Have searched the net but to no avail.
I know its no big deal, but to me it just feels like a downgrade.
same here . i used to have it on my s4 after recent update its gone
Any input on this? i want to know how to enable this -.-
