How do I get back to my music player home screen from the now playing screen? The music player home screen being the screen where I can select music album/artist/song/playlists etc. When I'm at the now playing screen I click on the small music list icon on the bottom right which takes me to the last used screen, i.e the music album list or playlists. BUT, when I click the back arrow on the top left, it takes me back to the now playing screen?? How to I go back to the main music home menu?
The only way I've found is I have to click the options button then 'End', which closes the music player. Then it comes back. However I've not found a way to get to the home screen without closing the app
I think I might have just missed something. Any help would be appreciated. THanks.
In the playing now screen hit the back option (on the phone bottom right ) this takes you back to albums/artist etc option .

If you press the 'mood' button (furthest right just below the album art ) then you get a menu at the top with artist, album etc

Hi,
Did anyone tried the palm gesture to capture the screen. It is not Working fir me.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium
swipe SLOWWWWLY
First of all, have you turned it on?
And as Tew. said, swipe slowly, in one motion and dont use your whole hand, only a little bit of it.
This feature annoys me.. the only way I can get it to work is if my palm actually touches the screen, which accidentally scrolls or launches apps/buttons
Hi guys,

The phone should be in a parallel position with respect to the ground. Lying flat. Or else it doesn't work

Put it on the flat surface and wait for a while, don't move the phone at all...
Once there's no movement for a while, the phone thinks its no more in your hands, the quick glance will work...
You can try going to Settings -> My Devices -> Motion and gestures -> Air Gestures -> Quick glance -> "Try It" to see if it works...
Not working also. I were try all the way like change to swipe lock screen, put on flat surface and not touching for a minute but still not working. I think i should take a video and show it to you tomorrow. Any more way to recomment?

If that is not working, you've a faulty unit?
The infra-red sensors are on top of the phone, near the front-facing camera...
It works when i use the (try it) and i make sure the quick glance option is ✔, after that i turn my phone's screen off and try it, it doesnt work I saw many people facing the same problem in Note2 before that.

I have the same problem here with my GT-I9500.
But it worked before and now works only once in a while.
Any help?
I noticed that it doesn't work sometimes ... but most of the time it's fine ...i believe it has to do with the sensors giving wrong measurements about the positioning of the phone ... or maybe some bug ...
My GS4 Quick glance stopped working few days ago unless I restarted my phone and it would only work once so I don't know what's wrong with it..
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
same here, quick glance not working. I put my phone on flat surface, I tried "Try It" and it works fine and sometimes my phone turns on quick glance even though Im not moving anything in front of it. My lockscreen is set for swipe, no serious mods, just rooted i9505
EDIT: uninstalling performance booster really helped!
You need calibrate the sensor with commands in terminal. I did it and now its working fine. Its an easy process, but need root.

Quick Glance Switching to Lock Screen
I have the same issue, when I do the Quick glance on the Try screen it works. When I use it, for some reason it starts like it should then it switches to the Lock screen like I hit the main or power button. I am also having an issue with it smart pausing, I believe they are inter related.
Just thought I would start a thread that could be useful about things you didn't know about your HTC one
I only found out tonight that if you swipe down your notification bar with 2 fingers it takes you straight to the shortcut tabs
That made me realise there are probably loads of features and gestures I don't know about?
Here is a list compiled from the thread...
1 : Swipe down with 2 fingers on notification bar takes you straight to shortcuts (Android 4.2 version only)
2 : If you scroll with 2 fingers in contacts, gallery, music, and many other apps, it scrolls much faster (using it in the contacts list goes through the alphabet, using it in the text converstaion list goes through dates of conversations)
3 : You can pinch zoom text-messages
4 : Double tap your Bluetooth button with camera active to remotely take a snap
5 : In camera, from the top swipe down and it'll switch from back to front camera and viceversa
6 : Tapping on the statusbar while in the app drawer or blinkfeed, music, people, and message app brings you straight up
7 : You don't have to pull up the lock or the time on the lock screen - swipe up anywhere to unlock your phone. Same goes for answering a call
8 : You can increase the volume on your tv via the volume rocker on your phone instead of the on screen buttons
9 : Quickly double tapping the home button brings up the recent apps list
10 : Three finger swipe from left to right on the homescreen brings you to share files menu
11 : You can adjust the brightness of the torch/flashlight with the volume rocker
12 : Hold down the power button and tap the home key to take a screenshot
13 : Holding the back button in the browser brings you to history
14 : In the photo gallery's edit>effects screen (under the magic wand icon), you can customise every preset by tapping and holding its thumbnail and dragging it to the "customise" bar that appears on the right. You can even start applying custom effects from scratch by doing this with the "no effects" thumbnail. You can then save the created preset
Also on that screen, pressing the 'A' button provides options go change the white balance of the picture (as you would normally pre-select in the camera app). A = 'as shot' but you can change it to cloudy, fluorescent, etc and also a couple of options the camera app doesn't have - shady and tungsten.
15 : If you have the camera app open and turn off the phone, the lockscreen will be inactive, meaning when you press the power button again you go straight back to the camera app, no need to unlock
16 : Select "Show Magnifier" in the Accessibility menu and you get a magnifying lens that pops up when you are editing text
17 : Long press home for google now (depending on setup sometimes home and up also takes you to google now)
18 : In Google play if you are listening to a song and have the album artwork up (the screen where you have your pause/play, next/previous track)
You can swipe right to left to skip the track it left to right to go to the previous track. There's a cool sliding in/out animation too.
The coolest feature though, is that you don't have to press back to get back to your library or playlist. You can swipe down from the songbtitle and your library of songs is waiting behind it.
19 : In the Stock Browser go to Menu>Settings>Labs to switch on "Quick Controls". Slide thumb from left or right edge to open quick controls and hide app and URL bars.
Also swipe across the keyboard to easily switch to the numbers and symbols pages!
20 : You can access HTC's hidden Self diagnostic tool by following steps:
Go to dialer,
Dial *#*#3424#*#*
You will enter HTC's self diagnostic tool
You can check if all the parts and sensors on your device is working.
21 : If you're watching tv and have the tv remote enabled and you're getting a call it automatically mutes the tv.
22 : There's a visualizer and karaoke player embedded in the HTC music app. Just click the musical note icon when playing a popular song that's on Gracenote. The app will automatically download lyrics and sync them to the song.
By default, this only works on Wi-Fi. This can be changed in Music settings.
23 : You can also set a different wallpaper for the lockscreen than for the homescreen by going to settings -> personalize -> lockscreen and then settings for the wallpaper lockscreen.
24 : Rotating your calculator to landscape provides scientific functions like sin cos and tan.
25 : if you leave the TV app open to your remote and you lock your phone...it unlocks right back Into the TV remote. I've also noticed it just turning itself on when I pick it up!
26 : There's a cool trick in the camera app.
If you touch to focus, and hold your finger there for about a second, it will activate Focus and Exposure lock, until you tap on another spot, which will turn it off again. It's a handy feature, especially when you want to recompose. (android 4.2 version only)

Not trying to rain on your parade but that is a Android feature introduced in 4.2.
You should go to settings and then display and you can now set the home key as the menu button when long pressing.
In the HTC keyboard settings, you can enable Swype and in advanced you can even set the swype colour.
Another one, if you scroll with 2 fingers in gallery, music, and many other apps, it scrolls much faster
Pretty known one.. In the browser menu, you can enable flash player
There are lots of fun features with zoe's after you've made them (comparable to GS4) like sequence shot, removing objects, and waaay more

Don't know why you think your raining on my parade just saying didn't know you could use 2 fingers

Also one more thing many have not realized yet. There is no file limit size when transferring files to the phone. No more FAT32 4GB file restrictions. That's the benefit of having ONLY MTP, but you lose out on faster transfers and universal USB Mass Storage support. You can fit a 20GB movie in if you want and if you have the space.

Didn't know that two finger pulldown.
On CM it's pulldown from the clock, I couldn't figure out how to do it with Sense.
This is great!

the two finger pulldown is an AOSP 4.2 built in feature, the CM implementation is an option to swipe from left or right edge, AOKP has it as well, this can be disabled and the 2 swipe feature functions as normal.

Now I know. Having used CM10.1 almost exclusively for the last year and change, I sort of forgot that it wasn't exactly the same as AOSP.
To add to this thread: I bet a lot of people don't know that USB Audio out is built in and switches on-demand. I can finally use my phone with my Fiio E7!

You can pinch zoom text-messages.
You can mute your phone when you turn it arround ( back to front)
Ringtone goes quieter when you take it out your pocket up to your ear.

Maybe it should be posted here the aroma freeze fix:
I know some people have problems shutting down their phone when this happens
If aroma installer freezes on you do the following:
1. Hold device's light sensor up to a bright light source (any lamp will do)
2. Hold power button down until buttons on bottom begin to blink, keep holding and phone will turn off!

When booting into hboot it isn't necessary to hold both power and volume down
just power the device on and immediately hold the volume down and keep it held down until your in hboot

So I realized with the Note4 taking a screenshot with the Note 4 got a little more annoying.
On the Note3, I can pull out the S-Pen, hold the S-Pen button and press and hold on the screen to screenshot.
This no longer works on the Note4. You need go select from the s-pen functions and it will take the screenshot and make go through a few steps before saving.
I just tried it on my note 3 and it did a screen write, where it took a screen shot and went into a screen edit mode where I can write on the image. So its the same as pressing the button on the stylus and selecting "Screen write". Which is the same on both note 3 and note 4. The only thing that they seem to have taken out is being able to do a screen write by the method you mentioned. Which was redundant anyway. Also that function is now for multi-select like a mouse function. So if you hold the button in email, or gallery, then you can drag the stylus up or diagonally across the screen to select mulitple email or images at one time.

I like it. Works great
NOTE 4
I understand you wanting to use the spen function but why not just swipe your hand across the screen to take a screenshot, a lot faster imo; just my 2¢...
Or disable option for editing when you take screen shot
My fingers are crossed that gmd or some of the other devs that had previously made tools relative to the spen will get cracking on the newest code. That way we can customize it to whatever we like best. I was thinking the same thing with the screenshot stuff.
Home+power does the trick, no pen required.
