You have to be on the Facebook messenger app and go to setting and activate the messenger app as you regular message, now if you want to have the chat head, either way for a person to send you a message or, in message app hold down a pop up will appear and press on "pop out chat head"

I found that the chat head only appears if i leave my "home screen". my girlfriend sent me a message and nothing happened until I opened the browser or any other app. When i did that the chat head floated on to the edge of the screen. If i leave the app it dissapears!? I have tested with Nova Prime, SSlauncher, Buzz launcher and the stock TouchWiz launcher. The same thing happens.
Very strange.

A quick restart after update and checking it in settings (of the messenger app) might work out.

It doesn't work if you have your status bar hidden or apps that go into full screen.

Here working without a problem, just desinstalled primary and messenger apps, then download from play store and vualá. In case, Paranoid and stock kernel

I saw a screen shot on CNET that had an option for Chat Head Notifications in Notification Settings. I cant seem to find it in my settings pane. What's the current version everyone is using?

Chat Heads wont work
I have tried everything...
Uninstall each app, reinstall.
Uninstall both apps, reinstall.
Restart between each install.
Clear Cache
Clear Data
More restarts.
I've had people messaging me all day and I CANNOT GET CHAT HEADS TO WORK!
Ugh I want it to work so bad, if anyone has found a fix please let the community know.
It doesn't even show the options in settings yet I have Messenger version 2.4.2 build 178229
Nexus 4 on T-Mobile USA in WA. Stock Android 4.2.2 not rooted.

Hi, not working here..... i tried to change rom change everything but nothinf still not working! AOKP last build

An account issue
So I've identified it as a Facebook account issue. Chat Heads doesn't on my phone with my account, but when I logged in with a friends account chat heads worked fine.
Such a bummer... when I logged out of their account and logged back into mine the functionality was locked again and chat heads is no where to be found as long as I use my account.

Tried using the re-signed APK versions of Katana, Orca, and Home from Paul at MoDaCo. Got home to work, but chat heads wasnt available...so I uninstalled. Home is...well...meh.
Really wanted chat heads, guess i'll just wait for a fix i guess...

As you can see, no available option for 'Chat Heads'

[Q] TalkBack issue in Gallery

Hey guys, i have a very annoying issue in the stock Gallery app. Everytime i hold the selection of a picture my phone starts speaking out loud that i have selected it. It is very annoyng and embarassing when this happens in public! I know that the issue was related to LightFlow which i hadon the S3 and was automatically downloaded on my phone when i first logged in my Google Play Account. Sincei have unistalled it i have this problem . I have tried to reinstall and unistall it in other more complete ways but the issue remains. Any suggestions on how to resolve? Thanks in advance!

Should be.....
Settings>My device>Accessibility
And there is a Talk back tab.
Those settings should fix your issue.

If that doesn't work, then you may have to disable the google text to speech and samsung text to speech engines. That stopped it for me, I'm using LightFlow (LED notications app).

[Q] watchon app crashes

Hi
I just got the S4 on three in the UK. Everything seems to be working well until I want to use the watchon app and IR blaster. Firstly there is no information in the "On TV" section or any information in the channel guide. I am connected to the internet. Also whenever I click on the remote button in the top right corner the app crashes and sends me back to my home screen. Anyone else have the same problems? Any suggestions? Thanks

It works fine Go to apps manager, look for WatchON and clean cache.
Also, make sure you have the latest update installed, go to PlayStore and check for updates...
It will work, I'm using it right now

Got the s5 today, few questions

I like the phone, but the 16gb causes a lot of concern. After downloading my music from Amazon, it's almost gone.
I can't find an option to put music from Amazon on my sd card, is that hte new kit kat "feature"?
Also, the test message preview on my lock screen only says "New Message", ther eused to be an option that gave me a preview of the actual message..is it gone?
On the Note 3, it had a setting where screenshots would enter auto edit mode, came in real handy for me. S5 doesn't seem to have this?
When I disabled my magazine, my home screen transitions isn't continuous ..I know I seen the s5 do this in review videos.

Did you root your phone yet with Towelroot? If so go to play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix and install this to get read/write to your sd card. The other stuff I can't help you with. Sorry.

Not yet. I will this weekend tho. Thanks bud

Before you root you may want to look into fix for SHealth and ISIS Wallet (if you use it). You have to stop SHealth and Health Services in app manager and clear data and cache before you installed Xposed. You may even have to uninstall their updates if I remember as well.
Install xposed and it's service , then update Shealth and it should work fine. Once you get that done install ISIS Root Bypass 3.0 module for xposed and check it in modules and reboot and the Wallet will work fine after that.
These were two things that I use often and really had to get working to be happy with root.

Why put off until tomorrow, what you could do today, and prevent yourself from being screwed by VZW when they push 4.4.3 soon, and Root may not work with it?

In the text messaging app you'll see a setting to display the message on the lockscreen instead of new message.
Plug your phone into the computer and drag and drop the music to the SD or use root explorer to move it there.. You don't need root to do this.
No, the S5 cannot auto enter edit mode as far as I know, maybe clear defaults of gallery and set images to auto open in an editor?
As far as continuous transitions just use apex or Nova.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll keep digging.
I do not see the lockscreen setting in the messaging app. I'm using Samsungs app over Verizons

How did you "disable" My Magazine exactly? I was able to long press home screen, choose Home screen settings, and uncheck My Magazine. This allowed me to scroll continuously or not.

I unchecked it via longpress homescreen. I don't have an option anywhere (that I can find) for continuous scroll

Oh gosh, well that is a problem then. I'll definitely keep my eyes open for a solution. You should let us know if you find one. I'm curious now.

You'll have to edit a file using Root Explorer then if you disable My Magazine you'll have endless home screen scrolling. I use Nova launcher which already has the option in settings. If you definitely have to have the stock launcher and you can't get infinite scrolling to work let me know I'll tell you which file to edit.

I wouldn't have to modify the build prop to get S health to work with xposed?

[Q] droidwall / message notification issue

Hi, I'm currently using DroidWall and have switched to whitelist rather than blacklisting apps..
now, I'm having issues with whatsapp.. although I have selected it on DroidWall to enable internet access, I do not receive any messages until I actually open whatsapp before it starts downloading.
To me, this appears to be a background/sync issue.. but I just cannot figure out what else I need to give internet access to so that messages get downloaded
any help??
ps.. i have searched, but couldnt find any thread under Galaxy s4 that mentions Droidwall/whatsapp issue
pps.. newbie here.. nice to meet u all

Hi, did you enable DHCP+DNS Service and (NTP) and Download manager?
Are you sure that this is an issue caused by Droidwall?
WhatsApp often has problems like this one

Hi, I've enabled Download manager - I found I wasn't able to download updates from market place without having this enabled...
but what about DHCP + DNS Service... what names could they be under
And, this is caused by DroidWall, as having again switched to Blacklist.. its working again... so its just a matter of finding out what name the above goes as..

You can try the app Af wall+ there you have a more detailed list of apps. It is a firewall also.
I will show you my list, maybe it helps and WhatsApp is working fine to me.

thanks buddy.. this is much helpful!!

Hi, I tried using AFWall+, and gave access to the following apps:
- Whatsapp
- DHCP+DNS Service
- NTP
- Download Manager
But I'm still having the same problem. Also, to note... I have got Power Saving enabled (but I always had this since getting the phone a year ago and it wasnt an issue before).
I have added screenshot attachments.. can you please tell me what apps I need to give internet access to for messages to be received when whatsapp is closed..
Not sure if the following info is required:
Galaxy S4 GT-I9505
Android Ver 4.4.2
baseband ver: I9505XXUFNBH
kernal ver: 3.4.0-481100
build number: KOT49H.I9505XXUFNBH
rooted phone

Hi,
just enable internet access to the same system apps like I did and try again. I hope this will work than.
