Using the S-Pen, when you hover it at the top or bottom of a list/page, it scrolls.
There are some hover functionality for fingers as well, such as showing gallery previews for different folders.
I'd love to be able to hover my finger at the bottom and scroll

Probably not possible. The hover function that is used in the gallery app uses the sensor above the screen. The S Pen uses some other kind of technology. I dunno much, but basically when you have the S Pen close enough to the screen, the pen becomes active due to electro magnetism from the screen which it picks up and it gets power to do for example hovering & scrolling.
I might be terribly wrong, but this is somewhat how it works. I think.

If you have been annoyed by the zoom bug caused by placing your wrist on the bottom right quadrant of your screen as you write using S-Notes here is a simple solution.
1) Pinch the screen to resize to 100%.
2) Tap the screen once with your pen.
3) Start writing - zoom issue solved.

At what point do you put your hand on the tablet on your 3 step fix? After step 2?

Wouldnt it be saved as an image file rather than a note file? That means u cant re edit it? Am i right?

If you find the tablet zooming on you when you place your wrist on it simply lift your hand, pinch the zoom back to 100%, then without placing your hand down again simply tap the screen once with the tip of the pen. This should solve the zooming issue for that session. Afterwards just write normally.

I posted something similar to this. But all I do is before I start writing place the pen close the screen then rest my palm.

The single tap thing works better in that you don't need to keep worrying about it.

Hi all
Apparently you can swipe between pages in chrome on nexus 7 but for the life of me I can't get this to work, anyone else have trouble doing this?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Start from off screen and swipe in, otherwise it will think you are just trying to pan around the current page.
Yeah swipe from the very edge. Also you don't need to swipe. Just move your finger from the very edge towards the centre of the screen as fast or as slow as you like to swipe through multiple pages.

Nah not happening for me, think it's because mine is in a case and covers the edge

I say bin chrome and install the stock browser, go into settings>labs and switch on the quick controls. Really smart, it gives you full screen internet, and you get your controls by gently moving your finger in from outside of the screen border. It's really smart, and quick once you're used to it.
That and the fact that it loads pages noticeably a good bit faster than chrome...

Hi friends, I want to show you all... note 2's hidden feature we can call it Air Touch (by this feature you can use your note without touch on its screen through SPen) n hope you'll enjoy this amazing feature... n also let me know how many of you know about it... n if you like this, plz press thumbs up
I've uploaded it on youtube n
Here is the video link

not its not
Well, for some people, it's not "air touch", it's "S-pen way too sensitive" and it's a problem
(see that vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viDDKGPj2FI)
I guess you tweaked the potentiometer of your S-pen so much that it reacts without even touching the screen ?
BTW, I guess you've lost air view function by doing this, right?
Oh
Sent from my GT-N8000 using Tapatalk HD
I thought it was some hidden feature of note 2
I liked it very much its cool and samsung should placed one more button to activate n deactivate this air touch feature n its more fun then air view
Sent from my GT-N8000 using Tapatalk HD
Well, the possibility to activate/desactivate this feature could be a great idea indeed, but I fear it depends on the potentiometer of the S-pen. Maybe another button on the S-pen to activate this feature could be a good idea for the Note 3
Was it out of the box for you, or did you unscrew the S-pen potentiometer to get these results?
(for me, it was just the contrary, the S-pen was not sensitive enough, I had to press the screen pretty hard to get it working, I had to unscrew the potentiometer to get a smooth S-pen. I haven't tried to get results as yours and I'm not sure my S-pen could do this even if I tweak it more)
Well I dropped my SPen today
And found this feature accidentally
Its quite simple if you press your Spen tip little inside then this feature activate... for deactivation pull it little out
But its fun to use it
Now its like some high tech magic wand

Hi I hv seen new galaxy s4 video
It has a air swipe feature... where you can just swipe your palm over screen n it'll change the photos, videos
May be samsung will add this feature air touch on galaxy note 3

Not as convenient but you can get the same result by holding the tip of your finger over the nib of the spen.

This is a pretty old feature which I was using on my old Nokia, it was a 3rd party application that used the front camera to detect the motion of your hands over the screen and swipe photos or pages. Nothing new and certainly not a samsung innovation.

I read somewhere that it was indeed the sensor at the top, mixed with the old technology too.
The apps I know it works with are stock email, stock texts and flipboard. Not sure what else. It doesn't even seem to work on lockscreen...

Samsung is using a super sensitive capacitative touchscreen that can sense your finger even when its a short distance from the screen, essentially. its the same reason that there's an option so that you can use it with gloves on
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I'm no engineer, but this is my basic understanding gleaned from reading wikipedia and other sources. Capacitive touchscreens work by sensing changes in an electrostatic field. Your finger is an electrical conductor, which distorts the field. In normal phones the field is calibrated to extend just past the surface of the touchscreen. The S4's electrostatic field is simply overcalibrated to sense your finger from a distance, and it's also why it works with gloves on.

nothing to do with the capacitive screen or proximity sensor. if the screen was THAT sensitive it'll be firing off to even the slightest atmospheric disturbance. actual workings are related to the 2 IR sensors flanking the speaker grill which individually log IR intensities emitted by ur finger in front of the screen. an algorithm then compares these values and works out where ur finger is pointing.
AFAIK it works with help of IR Sensor and/with Proximity Sensor
If screen sensitivity does this job then ...Nokia Lumia 920 to 520 all devices all should have this feature cuz all these devices have Super Sensitive screens

The air is much more inert than your finger. The proximity/IR sensors just blast IR beams away from the phone for things like Air Gestures and have nothing to do with Air View. They certainly don't shoot beams across the surface of the screen to detect your finger. The finger hovering simply uses a more sensitive capacitive touchscreen, as Sony explains here:

This happened with me also.
The air view works in stock messaging app , gallery , flipboard and even when you dial a number if you have speed dial feeded.
For this you need to hold air view option in notification bar for about 2 seconds then a set of options will open. There you can switch on air view for messaging, gallery etc etc.

It will be the electromagnetic field that the screen is detecting from your skin/finger. The same way that on other screens, they don't work with gloves unless you have the special gloves that have conductive fingertips on them.
Nothing to do with the sensors on the top of the phone cos if you cover them up, air view still works! Plus the sensors aim out the top and at 90 degrees to the phone face, how would they sense something almost touching the screen on the bottom?

The pen triggers the air scroll
You can scroll in most places by hovering the pen near the border of the screen in the direction desired.
It's always been the case, maybe it's more pronounced now - or maybe you had air scroll disabled.
