Galaxy note 10.1 have hidden proximity sensor for smart covers like iPad

As the title says write *#0*# in dialer and you can test it, its called grip sensor located at the top right near the camera by about 1.5 inch , move your hand over it and It will detect your hand ,let the developers benefit from it

Yes but tablets don't have proximity sensors (other than 7.7,7plus ) and it seems functioning only in the test menus so I think Samsung hide It for some reason as they haven't announced it in the official specifications , by the way have you tried it yourself

Does it have a SIM card slot? If not, there's no GSM radio and therefore no dialer.

As I said the software makes no benfit from the sensor (dunno why) but you can test its existence in the test menus by typing *#0*# in the dialer then choose grip sensor

No I tried it with no luck the function seems to be disabled by the software , and I think that they are afraid from apple patents war , that is why I opened this thread to make developers tell us how to benefit from this sensors, anyway have any on (other than me) tried it ?

If you own an iPhone or iPad do not use them near the note, if detected by the proximity sensor... the blaster will destroy them

The only news about a "grip sensor" on Samsung's device was revealed on Samsung Continuum Device which was a device with a 2nd display on the bottom released in december 2010... that display, show info about weather, news etc when you press the Grip sensor without wake up the first display..
I can't find other function about this "grip sensor" ...

I hope the developers can do something with this. maybe sooner, we can have smart cover. I don't know why but i fancies the iPad's smart cover. Just the cover though. lol. :laugh:

I thought the iPads smart cover used the magnets to wake it up

Taking a Screenshot

Firstly, Mod if there is already a thread on this topic please move my post there.
I'm experiencing serious problems when trying to take a screenshot with the palm swipe. I had no problem whatsoever on my S III. I'm disabled & can't use the shortcut.
Ideas? TX

No. I have a Cimco TPU case (more like a sleeve) & it's not blocking the sensor.

I just tried the palm swipe and I realized I had to press on the screen with more force than on the S3 (I've tried both). Also I think air gesture has to be toggled on (as well as palm motion obviously )

Just remembered to respond. Air Gesture was turned off. That said, I remember taking a few screenshots just after I got the phone & AG was definitely off. I also read a bit more about this feature. Supposedly you can hold a finger ~3" over the sensor & it'll activate. Not on my phone...

It's been my experience that I have to physically touch the screen in order for the screen wipe to take a screenshot. I've also found this feature somewhat unreliable as it sometimes moves the screen and then takes a shot of a screen that I have no interest in.

Knock on kernel galaxy s3

Hey guys, I need your help. I'm going berserk, because I've been searching a good kernel for my galaxy s3 (WITH CYANOGENMOD 10.2) that have the knock on function (double tap to wake the display) like the LG G2. Can you help with a list of kernel that have this function also COMPATIBLES with my CYANOGENMOD 10.2??
Thx

This double tap feature does not exist for our phone. Touch2wake is also only available for a few seconds after the screen goes off. Everything else would just drain the battery. According to boeffla our hardware wouldnt support the double tap to wake feature without sucking battery

Ok... I will put boeffla for the battery and others personalitations cause now I've already cyano kernel. Thanks

boeffla just has a single tap wake not a double tap
it can be only used to wake for a few seconds after the screen is turned off

does anyone know how to "control" this function ?? i mean , without tweaking it manually. An app for example... Nexus has touch control but this kernel is not suported in touchcontrol..
cheers !

Use Boeffla Config from the Playstore. You can change the delay of the Touchwake with that.
Check boeffla-kernel.de for the documentation.

ok installed Boeffla... Allllll right

But there is a function to wake up with proximity sensor. It doesn't suck battery much. So, it would be good if someone could write a code to combine proximity wake up to implement knock2wake. 1) after pick up phone from pocket, proximity sensor could power on the touch layer,
and stay active for a defined period - 10-20 seconds. Then double tap should unlock the device.
What do you think about it?

[Q] on screen buttons ?

Is there mod or anyway to enable on screen buttons on galaxy note 3 ?
I search on it in note 3 fourms but I didn't find anything..
Or developers are not interested on adding it ?

Just curious, why would you want onscreen buttons. Wouldn't this just take up real estate in the screen, when there are already dedicated buttons?

simply i like it in my Xperia arc , before i use it i was just like you , but after tring it i love it
i dont care about size of screen ,
another thing , i really get annoying when using dedicated buttons more far down and not comfortable.
and at the end it is somthing favourable , if i like it dosen't mean all is liking it.
i hope i saturated your curiosity

LG G2 won't wake up on incoming calls

Hi all,
I got a stock T-Mobile LG G2 (802). My screen stays black when somebody's calling me. I can hear the ring tone and the led is flashing but thats it. When i manually wake up the phone I still don't see the dialer and have to pull down the Quicksetting bar (or ow to call it?) and tap 'answer call' there. No need to tell you that I lose most of my calls that way.
Can't seem to find a solution on the web. Anyone else experiences this problem?
Thanks

strange
Didn't have this,don't know how to help you but for now you can activite the incomeing call answer in setting under general in gesture option.
Hope this help til someone help you.

Yeah me too. Stock KitKat d802 20b with root + twrp + soundmod.
Really bad bug imho.
Anyone?

Please people... This should be quite easy to test.
Just make yourself a call and check for screen wakeup delay.
For me it is 2 or 3 seconds before the display is on.
On AOSP this is not present

I have done a clean install of stock kitkat (that one with modded kernel to support recovery and root), and the problems still arises. Maybe:
1) you have a different software (jb? Aosp?)
2) you dont classify as lag the 2 seconds delay
3) the hw variant may count?? (I have intl d802)
4) you lie xD
Is there anyone here who flashed kitkat on international d802 with original kdz file AND is affected from this bug?

Problem partially solved on my t-mobile 802.
The kitkat update i got on monday the 25th of march was the solution. There still is a small delay of 2 seconds before the caller id shows on the screen but thats nothing compared to the complete blackness pre-update.
Anyone else got this problem solved this way?
Off-Topic: Other improvements I noticed 'Knock on' works 4/5 times instead of 2/4. (Way) better power management and the typing is more responsive as is the phone as a whole.
