I have been using the LG G Pro Lite for a few days and I loved the knock on unlock feature.. anyway to port it on the galaxy S5?
..
Knock ON is included in KToonSez' kernel. Knock Code isn't.

Does it affect battery life a lot?

apparently not, no wakelock needed
I had an LG G3 before my S5 which also has the knock knock code. Didn't cause any battery drain.
It's no where near as stable as it is on the LG G2/LG G3. At least not for me.
Android L includes double tap to wake feature, so let's hope Samsung doesn't delete it in their update.
I am using air unlock since 3 months and found it quite good. No big battery drain and does not unlock in your pocket. Remember, in order to use air unlock, the phone have to be immobilized.

Have been using air unlock also. It is great when you are working at your desk combined with ac display. But sometimes i have the annoying galaxy s5 bug preventing the phone from waking up.

I did Here it is
Yep, I was watching video when it asked me to update. Took around 10 minutes and kept all the data so everything functioned just like before. Except it looked better and the speed is amazing. Only down side that there is no face lock which I m hoping they will come up with an update!
Very satisfied customer here! Unlike my LG Optimus 2X phone which i m not expecting to get an update EVER.
Check if you have face lock
Its the us version right?

Face unlock is a gimmick anyways..I have it on my phone, you usually end up having to type in your pin or pattern anyways, it is a negligible feature.
I should have factory reset before updating, that first reboot regenerating everything loaded (I guess) is taking a LONG time.

Wrong. I have it on my Galaxy Nexus and in 4.0.3 there's an option to improve face unlock. Just scan your face in different light, with/without glasses (if you have to wear) and in different angles (holding the phone in eye height, looking down on phone and so on) and face unlock works nearly everywhere except in total darkness. I took the time once and scanned about 30-40 situations, now face unlock works flawless.
I got it too, east coast DC area
How big?
Hi,
Can someone tell me what size it is? Want to see whether it is worth downloading or waiting till tonight?

I know this, but I have tried this, it still gives me 'no face found' or 'unable to recognize' failures often. Not to mention that it's just a major PITA to hold any device in a single position for it to recognize you (very unsafe while driving), and it takes a full 2-3 seconds longer to unlock than simply swiping in your pattern, which is the fallback if it doesn't recognize you anyway. I have not found a good use for it yet (presumably, wouldn't a photo of you work anyway? And isn't it easier for a criminal to get a picture of your face than to guess your pattern?)
Just saying, impractical gimmick. Fun to play with, but for anyone who uses their device often, they will get tired of looking at themselves while the device tries to recognize them..IMHO, FWIW
Is this true
Am I understood right that you have got factory update for stock ROM?
If so that is pity - I am on custom ROM
Or we all just wait until some able Dev creates a CWM recovery-flashable version :beer:

You can go back to stock You aren't stuck there lol just see the link in my sig (from the sounds of it though, you are still pretty green, and need to do A LOT of reading IMO before trying to do too much at once, you also need to determine if you are SBK1 or SBK2, my guide will help you determine this.)
Not a huge difference visually but huge performance boost!

There are many useless app on the S4 and this is one of them that I don't get the functionality or usage of it. What is it good for anyway?

dont know what its good for its pretty much just a screen saver for when phone is in a dock or is charging
i rather have the screen off when charging
This is a stock Android feature so its not a gimmick Lol. I use it to show my clock when its docked on the wireless charger. The only problem is that Samsung for some stupid reason took out the clock daydream... Can't wait until I get CM 10.1

Because there are so many people saying airgestures are gimmicks and a lot of other features but they all work and most are useful. More useful than daydream

Yes I argee most of these S4 gimmicks are very understated. But I also find daydream useful and I miss it a lot (now I have to buy a alarm clock for the time being)...

Nice! Love this feature. Always envious of lg for that. How much does it effect battery life
noticed the nexus 9 has it too on a video i saw.
Maybe that's a typo or he got confused with the 9? Strange that nobody else mentioned what would be a pretty big feature...
I hopefully does it, because after getting use to it on my g3, i catch me some times trying to wake my other devices with double tap
I loved that feature on my G2, M8, and now G3...but with my G3 always turning on in my pocket I was ready to be over that feature.

"In his hands on, Honan specifically calls out the feature, although some were still left wondering if it could have been a misprint (the Nexus 9 also has tap-to-wake). We reached out to the author where he was able to confirm that yes, this is, in fact, a feature found in the Nexus 6 and was most certainly not posted in error. Boom" -Phandroid
Glad google included this feature. I guess other people just didnt try to tap it?
This is great news!

As you can see it is not a mistake to have given the news in preview
Also double-tap to sleep (turn-off)?
Here is the article from Wired. The confirmation is in the comment section.

It's a 5.0 feature from what I saw.

Yes! That's even better. I won't even miss my g2 then with the heads up notifications and the double tap to sleep and wake it'll be the features. that I used most. Only thing I'll miss are the nice camera features like burst shot and some of the other effects. And the floating apps and dual app use but I didn't use those as much

I'm not a fan of bringing back dead posts but double tap to wake does not work on the nexus 6, or at least not on mine.
I'm still hoping they included it, just not yet enabled. Or maybe a dev can activate it, especially since it is on the Nexus 9. Key will be if the digitizer and screen are on different power planes so as not to drain battery.

It's been confirmed a while ago that it doesn't have it. There's a commit that removes it specifically.
Good thing its a nexus. We will have the option down the road I'm sure

I hope a Dev can enable it with a new kernel I miss that from my G3
Its only worth enabling if it doesn't completely drain the battery IMO ... and that depends on hardware .. thats the reason why Nexus 5 couldnt really use it ( even after activated by the devs ) because the hardware wasn't right :
It had to keep power to the entire screen rather than just the digitiser, thats why the G3 etc don't drain the battery .. lets hope the Nexus 6 screen is built to supply different power to the digitiser and actual screen
Hello, just a quick question, I'm pretty sure I already know the answer just need verification to help curb disappointment if it happens.
Custom ROMs support waving hand over proximity sensor on the 6P to wake up the display ala Moto X ActiveDisplay?
I think stock does not support it, but custom ROMs do I think/hope.
Thanks.
Nobody knows? really?
You could try the app Gravity Screen. I know it's not baked in to the system, but it works well and doesn't even need root. I know it must use some extra battery life, but I haven't noticed much of a hit.

Hello everyone!
I just had a look at the new A5 2017 because I want to buy one for my mother and a feature that was very nice and useful was the active fingerprint reader. Just rest the finger on the home button and the device wakes right from the Always on Display.
I am running android N with the new Grace UX on my S7 Edge and i was wondering if there is a setting somewhere i can enable to be able to use this feature.
I know some people will think is useless, so is no need to comment for no reason.
A5 with new hardware... soooo nope. We dont have that on s7 edge.

That is sad. I was really liking the feature ,hope somneone will figure out how to add it later.
It's only a workaround, but downloading Always on Amoled from the Playstore is working just fine. Fingerprint is always on, no need to push it, and you get double tap to wake, plus other useful features. Definitely worth a try
it's the same hardware, only Samsung is the usual ****. improvements only on new smartphone to increase the sales

Already tried this method , but the battery drain is huge. Maybe someone will figure out how to do it exactly like the new A series.

probably sure someone will make a way to have the function also on s7, but the problem is that there will need root to work

Was going to say that having the reader on constantly may cause some form of wake lock.
