Android Lollipop GT-I9505 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

as we all know lollipop is still in the development stage as every build has something new or a bug fix but i want to ask about the air gestures . i can use it only left and right in GT-I9505 but in the Gt-i9500 i can use it left-right or up and down. and it's not working in the browser so is there a fix for that ? another thing that is smart scroll. i tried enabling it from setting storage (root things) and still not working. one more thing how can i send a bug to Samsung ?
Thanks in advance

You could try a custom rom, maybe it's fixed there. Other then that there is not much you can do.

Smart scroll and smart stay didn't really work for me either. But this was on kitkat. Perfect conditions and they didn't work. Did exactly as samsung suggested.

[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?

Problem with On Demand TV apps
I have a real niggle at the moment where I cannot use the BBC iPlayer, the ITV Player or the 4OD apps. The apps work and provide the ability to select programmes to watch but each fails to play video and audio (sometimes e.g. iPlayer there is broken/distorted audio).
I have noted that there are a few similar reports on maclaw.pl from other rom users.
In earlier versions of the ROM these apps did work, but I cannot recall which. I am currently using 11-20140318-UNOFFICIAL-golden.
I used to get lots of reboots but after installing this ROM and doing a factory reset these have stopped. This version for me is incredibly stable and works well except for this issue.
Can this be resolved?

Maybe the problem with audio driver ..
Just a suggestion try to backup your rom then un install dspmanager and flash acid audio engine with clear audio + addon and see if it is solved .. if not just restore your rom again .... ( just for trying)
I was using it with my wonder and now use it with s3 mini and work good
Yeah thanks for that never thought of that will try that later ....... BTW jus asking what's the latest version of the rom? Is there an update for it?

troubles with pac man rom 17102014
I also have troubles with gps signal. I only get 2-max4 sat signal. No definite fix.
Also i have 2 random reboots a day. Sometimes more often when i use it much.
It really very random. Does not depend which program.
Can anyone help?
Hi. This rom is great!
No reboots. 2.8ghz kernel is working fine. I still have to fiddle with every setting and try the gps, but it can phonecall and send messages
I came from an X-note build that had ripple effect on hover over screen.
What is that feature called and how can I get it in your rom?
@srt01 I have not experienced any issues with Signal on this ROM.
But is it worth you looking at the Modems and trying a different one? try searching on the Forum, Its not specific to the ROM, Just the drivers for your Phone.
Try starting here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475714
Its not worth Asking what one is best, Every modem will give different people different results.
Some will find better battery, Less Signal, Less Battery more Signal etc.
Trial and error on this one buddy

This is the Air Flow or something Air Motion or something.
Anyway in simple its a TouchWiz feature so you wont be able to get it on this ROM.
If you want your S-Pen feature, Smart Stay, Air Flow or any other feature specific to Samsung
Its normally in TouchWiz, For this reason you cannot have it on PAC or any other None Samsung Based ROM.
Hope this helps.
I see. That is too bad. The possibilities would have been endless if any live wallpaper or lockscreen could use that driver(?)
A quick gps test. Getting 5 sats and location, but no fix. Navigation (Maps) works though. Strange
Ahw the swipe to screenshot function was a TW feature as well, I assume
Hi. First of all thank you very much for your awesome work. Yesterday I tried to pair my gear 2 with gear manger but every time the "hostmanager connection failed" message showed up. Do you know if there is a workaround to get this works. Thank you

I switched tot another rom because of the wifi that was lagging too much in your rom.
Anything else was perfect and I miss it already
Just go into the PACPerformance App and scroll down to the build.prop.... You can set the ro.sf.lcd_density to whatever you prefer.
Pac-Man ROM screen density change?
I really like this ROM on the galaxy note 3 however, I was wondering if anyone knows how to change it? I don't like the size of my ocons . they are too small.... Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
MicroSD not found
hi everybody,
I use a 64Gb MicroSD, but its hidden. It looks that this
size is not supported.
Can someone confirm my suppostition?
does maybe exist a fix for this?

Temperature and Humidity sensor
Temperature and Humidity sensor works?
I was not able to find an option to add am/pm in clock
Having a problem where the screen will not turn on during a phone call. I can't hang up, can't use touch tones, activate speaker, etc without the screen on. Extremely annoying.
Tried the RC2 and the 10/27 nightly.
I assume it has something to do with the proximity sensor, but i have already tried a couple of apps from the play store that supposedly fix it.
Grid size ?
So first of all this Rom is awesome! Only laggy stuff sometimes when im on the browser but its so smooth
Almost faster then the fastest note 3 shown on AnTuTu ^^
The only thing that buggs me is that i cant change the grid size, and on the screenshots of the pac rom i see allot more icons in a row, am i missing something ?

[Q] How to run applications in tablet mode?

Phone: Galaxy Note 4 910C Exynos
I've been trying to get Evernote and Gmail to run in tablet mode for a few days with no avail.
I've tried Xposed app settings tweaks and a few other tablet-mode xposed mods which at most crashed the system UI.
Does anyone know a working way to accomplish that on the Note 4?
I have the same question?
I'm trying to accomplish this on Firefox to force it in tablet mode. I have no problems on my Note3 to get it, but on Note4 it wont work. Did anyone get it to work and how?
Im on DR.Ketan ROM with multi DPI on note4 ... and on my note3 (which works great without any modifying) im using x-note ROM.

Use "App Settings" Xposed Module. You can change the DPI in a per app basis and force tablet ui mode too (touch "resolution" and apply the biggest one).

Hi,
there is an app that I've used for it on my n910f.
UI Tuner (aka Window Manager) on Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bassel.uituner
It works like App settings. Go to menu in UI Tuner and select per app settings. From there you can choose the app you want to run tablet mode. Just type an lower density value and higher screen size. You can google for some tablet values.
More information you can find here on xda. Search for window manager.
It didn't work for me. Looks like there is no way to run firefox in tablet mode on note4 ...

Sorry mate. For other apps it worked for me. But Firefox app seems get some device information (assume from build.prop) to recognize which mode it should start, so it is no matter what dpi or screen size you have.

Probably In Xposed AppSettings it changes the DPI like it should, but firefox just doesnt recognize it. I cant get behind the logic of that, because on the Note3 the same version works excellent in tablet UI. Looks like i have to switch completely to the RAM eater chrome.
Ill ask it in the ROM section, maybe its something ROM related or the dev could help me out.

I found that setting the global DPI on my G4 with textdroider changed Firefox into tablet mode at a certain point (450 worked, with my device default being 640), but it doesn't work with App Settings.
My suggestion is to change your entire DPI to some smaller number with textdroider and adjust apps to a larger size as needed. Kinda annoying, but should do the trick.
