Can anyone confirm if there is a driving mode on the S5?
I read that it was suppose to on it.
I found it under the available button section in notifications.
Yes it does. Haven't had a chance to use it yet.

I don't have a phone device of my own and the emulator doesn't include this, so I was wondering if I could enlist the help of someone here. Basically, I'm wondering how I can turn vibrate mode on or off and, if it's possible, how to detect if a phone device supports vibrate.
Right now, I can adjust the ringer volume, but I can't seem to determine how to set the vibrate mode. I've done some searching and I'll I've found is suggestions to play with it and check the registry, which I can't do because I don't have a phone device. So, if someone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
I find that I am most proficient at using the device from landscape keyboard mode. Is there a way to have the device turn on when I open the keyboard, and turn off when I close it?

Yeah I wish there was a way. So far no solution.
Any ideas on this one yet?
so as you may or may not know or care, "car mode" is not available in the notification pull down and apparently was replaced by "drive mode" or whatever the dumb app name from ATT is. I think the Tmobile/Verizon S5's may have Car Mode though.
who cares right?
well car mode is sort of related to SVoice in that nobody can seem to get the S5 to wakeup from a lock screen/display off using a voice trigger like the Moto X or other older Galaxy phones.
Anyways, I tried to use Tasker to run a "Car mode" task, and the first time I did it, a few days ago, it said "not available on this device"..oh well
But I tried it tonight and for some reason it worked!
Now the phone shows the car mode icon in the notification bar.
Maybe this is a clue of some kind that Svoice voice trigger while locked/display off is somehow achievable?
And a juicy further tidbit:
The blue LED blinks about every 6 seconds while the screen is off. I have tasker enabled and no new notifications in the menu bar.
Isnt the blue-LED blink supposed to be related to voice recording with the screen off?? Is this a clue that the Hexagon low power DSP is listening even though it doesnt work for some reason?
Ive tried to get the phone to wakeup while locked but I cant.

since I wrote that I've uninstalled tasker for other reasons
the task I made was absolutely bare bones IIRC.
in fact there was no "event"..I got car mode running by making it the "action" or whatever and just running it stand-alone with the arrow
I just recently bought my Note 4, and have to say it is the single best phone I have ever owned lol. I am still trying to learn about it. I mean it is Rooted and I do not even know what that means LOL
Anyways the reason I joined is because I need help. This has been happen off and on, my phone keeps beeping every time I shake my phone. I did not know you can shake the phone and even have it do anything (I need to really learn more about my phone haha). When I am out walking the beep drives me bonkers! It will even bleep during the start of a phone call. I recorded the sound and really hope that I can upload it.
Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide. I am sure it is just something simple, but I am not seeing it
Hi there,
A simple Google search brings me here:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/282858-2-tone-beep-sound-constantly-playing.html
Did you try turning off NFC to see if this causes the problem?
(This doesn't seem to happen on my handset when turned on btw.)
Else turn off Orientation Lock maybe?
(Seeing the fact you say it occurs more when you move or shake your handset.)
Question: Does the sound also play if the profile is on silent mode?
Kind regards, Stefan.
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question
I came across that same thread when I was searching for answers before coming here. It did not find it relevant because my NFC is not on.
I was able to kind of see a screen before silly me accidentally hit the back button. I did not see the name of the app, but it was a white background with a picture of an orange mic and switch on the bottom in orange that says sonar. There was probably other things on the page but that is all I saw for the split second I saw the screen. Then it is after it started doing the beeping. When I look at my apps the only ones I have that have anything to do with my mic is S Voice, Voice Recorder and Voice Search, and not one of them are what I saw. The beeping I am hearing same kind of sound I would hear if I tap Voice Search, but that is not what is causing the beeps.
Hi again,
It does sound like the Voice Search beep, but it seems different.
You could try to disable double tap home for Svoice but I doubt if it would work:
Double tap the home button to*open S Voice.
Press the menu button in the top right of the app.
Tap “Settings.”Uncheck “Open via the home key.”
Did you check the screen orientation lock yet?
I assume you have rebooted your handset right?
Kind regards, Stefan.
We are becoming fast friends! LOL
Yes it does sound the voice search, and it does go away after I reboot my phone, I would just really like to know what this is though so I can try to prevent it from happening or turn it off when it does happen.
Again, thank you so much for caring enough to try and help me.
An other thing that ia worth mentioning is under:
Accessibility these is: direct acces.
When enabled it enables certain user set options by 3x pressing the home button.
But I could not find any option that enabled this beeping.
It could very well be a third party app causing it.
Anyways good luck, maybe anyone else has some input.
Kind regards, Stefan.
You might try safe mode to see if an app is causing it. It will temporarily disable all non-system apps. See if that fixes it. If so, it is an app you installed. m.androidcentral (I can't post links yet so change this to a '.') com/galaxy-note-4-safe-mode

Hello,
Has anyone else experienced issues with the Vol Down + Pwr button screenshots not working? I don't think this feature has ever worked for me, and I don't see anywhere to enable it. The device is a plus model running TMo firmware G955USQU5CRK1
If there is a suitable way to get screenshot into the quick launch, I'd be ok with that too. But so far all I see are apps that sit in the notification bar and I don't need any more of those.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has any insight.

You might want to try the SoftKey Edge feature in the edge panel. Personally i never had any issues taking screenshots the conventional way by using Volume down +Power button, maybe this will be helpful for you since you are facing this issue.
