[Q] Air view for folders in GS4 I9505 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on stock 4.4 touchwiz rom and today air view suddenly worked for the folders on my homescreen, but just for once!:crying: Is it possible to explain this? Is it possible to make it work permanently?

I built an app that allows AirView on every app, including launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frapeti.fingerhovering

Yeah, same here; it works on and off randomly on Touchwiz folders, Google Newsstand widget and another (Dutch) news-app widget, see attached screenshots. Can't figure out what triggers it. If anyone knows how to switch it on permantly, much appreciated!

Sorry to bump such an old thread but I wanted to say that I have exactly the same issue! One day, I noticed I could preview folders with Air view and thought it was a new feature since I updated the software the day before. However it didn't work the next time I tried it. Since then, the feature is very random; sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
Really don't know what the exact trigger is...

[Q] Airview on default messaging and music player

Hi folks,
I just registered here but I have been lurking in this forum for a few months now. ( I laughed hard at the terms and conditions video btw)
Anyway, I just got myself a new i9500.
One quick question, I find that the airview works perfectly well on the gallery, calendar, and when viewing videos. However, when I'm trying to hover messages in the default messaging app (i'm using chomp sms by the way) I find that it doesnt work on all conversations. I mean, it would only show previews for some specific conversations. Also in the default music player, when I browse for music in folder view, I find that airview doesnt work on the very top folder. Everything else, I can get a preview on.
I've tried restarting the phone, turning off and on air gesture and everything, but its still the same. To me, it looks like a software issue. Has someone observed the same thing in their phones?
Thanks!
you will only be able to use air view when the message lenth is bigger small messages which is seen completly without hovering wont be using airview feature hope that helps

you said you are on default, but then say you are using chomp? im confused.
so does air view work on chomp sms??
Sorry, I got you confused there. I meant I'm now using chomp sms. Anyway I figured it out now, it will only work when the text message is actually longer than what the screen can display.

[Q] GT-i9500 Air View & Smart Stay not working

Hi, I just bought my Galaxy S4 (i9500) yesterday, June 28th.
Since the moment i bought it, I am facing the following issues.
AIR VIEW:
Air View is working while I am watching videos and i want to forward them. But it doesnt work with stock email app, messaging, webpages etc. I tried disabling and re-enabling the air-view and air-gestures, but the problem isnt solved.
Smart Stay/Scroll:
Also, smart stay doesnt work, the video isnt paused when i look away from the screen. Neither does the smart scroll work with webpages.
Please help me with these issues. How can i solve them ? Do i need to change some settings ?
Thanks.

try that
menu-systen setting-my device-accessibility- and put magnification gesture to off
should help for air view
Hit thanks if that help
Thank you. The air view and air gestures are working fine. But the SMART PAUSE feature is still not working. I have enabled it in settings, but cant use it while watching videos.
PLEASE HELP..
I have the same problem. Tried several roms and kernels but no luck. If the smart stay uses the front cam to function which then cam is fully functional, I suspect is software related
Edit: latest Samsung firmware (MGG) fixed all my problems

Maybe you are blocking the front cam with your finger? Or its dirty, or you wear glasses?

Motorola Gallery app updated

An update to the Motorola Gallery app was just released on the play store. It is for 4.4 users only. So far it appears it might be a decent update to the Gallery app.
It is very encouraging to see the constant improvements from the Motorola engineering team on the various apps that make the Moto X the great experience that it is. Keep up the great work!
What's New:
New design with faster, simpler navigation
Larger thumbnails, displayed the way you took them

Wow. I just was able to uninstall quickpic because of this. Also Navigation and Status bar are transparent when viewing pictures now in Gallery.
I think I prefer the stock gallery app, but it's nice to see they're keeping it up.
Aw, I just updated it and I really prefer the previous version. Might roll myself back...
Can someone post the APK please, thanks!
*EDIT*
Here is the apk if anyone needs it.

This new gallery looks really nice.

The stock gallery should look like this. It's amazing. Stock meaning Google's.
Its a nice update. Wish it had an option for a dark theme though

I think you'll see many apps without a dark theme these days. Most of Google's own apps have picked up a light, card UI theme, so most devs will probably pick that up as the standard. Dark is nice for AMOLED like the Moto X though, so I agree with you.
I like the update but why in the name of all that's holy does this/the stock image editor still not have a RESIZE function?!?!
Can I please just downsize stuff before I email it so I don't have to wait for my 2+ MB image to upload?
That's the only reason QuickPic is still on my phone.

Almost more annoying, there is a photo editor app, but it doesn't have a resize option. And it's not available when viewing the image. If you have a single image open you can press the three dots and get crop/rotate options. If you are in the "camera roll" view (tiles of pictures) and long press on one, then tap the three dots, there is an edit menu. It has crop/rotate options, along with a ton of filters/effects, but nothing for resizing.
Along with a dark theme option, I would really love the option to choose which tab to be opened by default when running the gallery. I'd love to see the "albums" page to fire up upon opening gallery!

Exactly, that was the only thing I didn't like about the new gallery.

I would have liked an option to create albums as well, my SIII was doing that no problem :/
I can't choose between this or the Google + one

Does this still not sync with Picasa Web Albums? I think I downloaded the dev edition gallery and it looks similar to this and syncs with Picasa and gives you the stock camera app too?

Is there a watch face app can do something like this? If I want to develop one, what should I do? Any sample code I can use?
Thx!
