up to now... I don't think it is visible AFAIK.
And if you try to google out there, there is/are app(s) which manipulate this function, by keep screen on, and make the color of the screen turn black (as if it is off). And it is working only with OLED display.
I never use/try it, because I don't really like the idea with my N3, whereby I have the s-view attached already.

Lock screen notifications

Anyone know of a few good ones out there? I've tried a few but they didn't seem to work. I'm tired of the ugly message box when I get a text etc.

That's one of the ones I tried but it was weird. It would notify me of missed calls but I would still get the stock SMS notification (yellow box) also, the missed calls would only clear from my lock screen if I pulled down my notification bar. I'll give it another shot.

I just tried this one. I added email, missed calls and SMS but I'm still getting the stock text message notification. It is showing me email though.

I was able to get the dash clock one to work but how do I make it my default lock screen? Every time I lock my phone it goes back to the stock lock screen. When I long press the lock screen I can cycle between the 2 lock screens but I can't "trash" the stock one like I can the dash clock one. I also can't change the order of them. I though maybe if I placed the dash clock in front of the stock it would set as default...no dice.

Move the dash clock one all the way to the right.

You can try Knock2+ It's very similar to Active Display.

what rom are you on? if there is an option in the lockscreen settings to use aosp or touchwiz lockscreen choose touchwiz and on your lockscreen touch and hold the clock you want to remove and remove it. click the plus sign symbol and add dashclock. go into your messaging app, go into settings and uncheck the option to "preview message". that should fix your problem
I used lockerpro lock screen it works really good. Also used dynamic notifications its simple and just like the moto x active notifications. I don't use anything anymore just stock light notification.

Eye detection issues

I'm having some issues with this, and thought maybe I'm not the only one.
Whenever my phone untouched or I'm reading something or whatever the screen fades because I'm not touching it. Then the little eye icon appears in the status bar.
Does this icon mean it's looking for my eyes or that it's currently tracking them?
Because regardless if I'm looking at the screen or not it turns the screen off shortly after that.

I am seeing the same behavior, but I would like for it to work. Will check around for possible solutions/ideas.

Change lockscreen method.

Hi,
Not sure I'm writing the right place.
-Sorry...
Is there a way to change the way you lock the screen ?
I stead of one single push on the power button, I could really use something like 2 press...
I keep locking the screen by accident when I fooling around , or if I'm in a store and buying my coffee for free (7 eleven, using a app with a QR code..) and the staff accidentally lock the screen - I will lose that QR code, cause I only have 2 min to use it, when the staff press "show code"..
Soooo...
Is it possible to tweak/hack/nuke it ?
-FYI, only had the S4 for about a month, and only got rooted
-again, if I'm in the wrong place, I'm really sorry..

Not really sure. If it's in the middle then it could be crt off effect. But your phone must be rooted to do that

Try the test menu and check your display. Possibly a screen issue.

Type * #0* # (no spaces)
Then check the screen. -- possibly just a screen effect though if only when locking/unlocking.

I'am having the same problem aswell. It is really annoying. My phone is just 2 days old.
Edit: I have contacted to samsung and they toldme to bring the phone to a service center. I've been told I have a rigt to request a new phone or refund. I couldnt decide what I want to do. Because I really like this phone but there are alot of problems whit it. Apart from that screen problem. My phone freezes and restarts itself ramdomly and there is a problem with wifi connectivity

Question about fingerprint scanner

So if you jailbreak iPhone 5s/6/6plus you can unlock the phone by just putting your finger on the home button without unlocking the screen. Is it possible with some tool in Samsung Galaxy s5 by just swiping the pad without turning the screen on making the phone unlock?
Thanks for answers

I would totally like that if it is possible, and think it won/t use too much battery as if it is only the print sensor on, I hope somebody can help us with this.

Yes its a very awesome feature and I think its possible if some dev looks into it. I dont have S5 atm but I am considering buying the phone if this is possible
As of right now, there is no mod that allows this. but i'm sure sooner or later some dev will get it to work, as the posters above me have already said.

It will take a hit on the battery since this feature will be emulated through software since the hardware restricts it. For that to happen we have to modify the kernel to make the cpu stay awake at all times at low power. It's just like the Double tap to wake feature that is also sort of "emulated".
