I have had this phone since launch and have found only two things it worked on. Hovering your finger over gallery pictures the default at&t homepage for the browser. Is the feature available for anything? Even when going to other websites this feature either doesnt work or is useless.
Preview in stock messaging app?

Preview contacts in the dialer and video scrubbing hover over gives a small preview at that point of the video.
Sure the there is not much it used with. This is however the first phone with the feature and I hope more phone include it to allow more developer incentive. The feature needs to be referenced from the app to be used. I myself have been looking for the necessary SDK to make such apps. I have had no such luck on Samsung's Developer site.
So, yes, it will be restricted to Samsung's assortment for awhile. Which is:
Stock messenging. -In the app hover a contact to preview the message without opening it. On the lock screen, if the message is long it will do the same.
Email app - Same as above. Note this is the email with the red @ circle on it. Not gmail or any others.
Videos- the timeline should show previews as you hover your finger. This usually requires a finger tap therefore relatively useless. A good try though.
Gallery- preview an album. Hover your finger over an album to see the first few photos. While viewing pictures wave your hand over the phone to scroll through.
Calendar - Hover your finger over a day to preview the events for the day.
Internet app- Look for the icon in the notification bar. I forget exactly how to use it. The basic function should work for all web pages as the code for air gesture is local on your phone. I don't use or like the stock browser so I can tell you specifics.
Music - In a playlist change between songs with a wave of your hand. And as user fgoyti mentioned in the next post if the title or info is to long to fit, a finger hover will display the full text.
If there are any more I will add to the list.

Also the music app... it will show the full song name if it is too long to fit in the display, when you hover over it
Works on Flipboard.
Is there some way to improve (enable?) better swipe scrolling in apps like BBC News (1.3.4) and the News/Weather app (Google?) that comes with rooting via NookManager?
I've tried both apps, in both portrait and landscape, and have one heck of a time getting anything like a scroll swipe to work. If I do manage to get almost one screen up (after removing many layers of screen molecules) then the next swipe often sends me back to the top of the page instead of further down!
If only scrolling could be ported to the hardware buttons as a general rule instead of only in a few isolated apps
So, has anyone found a solution for these two? I'm ready to ditch them.
[SOLVED] Whoa! So in playing around with these again I discovered that they have a counter-intuitive (to me) scroll behavior. The BBC app seems to require at least one upward swipe to move the page a little and then a tiny bar appears on the right edge of the screen which is like the vertical scroll bar on a desktop. This you must swipe DOWN over to continue moving the page up. The Google news/weather app is similar but there is no bar and you just go right to the upside down scroll swipe to get the page to scroll up. Who knew?
I have the Verizon galaxy s5.
Chrome won't download media. I long touch and do save link and it starts to download then after a tiny bit says failed. Every time. My other Droid phone with default stock (browser) has no issues. Why won't chrome work? Can I fix it in chrome? I tried Firefox and it has no save anything. I tried Dolphin and it works.
Also how do I get chrome to word wrap text on the Web when double tapping or pinch to zoom?
When I enable restrict background data can I get rid of the notification ! That's (always) in the notification bar?
How do you get more then 4 home screens? The Verizon store had like 6 or so when you slide home screen left and right. It's not using any third party app for that.
Thanks a lot for help.
Anyone?
Hey everyone! It looks like the stock Samsung messaging app (for sms/mms) is a little weird when paired with an Android Wear watch. When you swipe to look at the list of recent messages, the most recent message is buried at the bottom, instead of being at the top (quite annoying). I switched over to Messenger by Google to fix this, but just realized that I've lost the edge light up functionality when people listen on the People edge call or text me. Is there any way to have the messages not come across Android Wear backwards, and keep the People edge functionality?
When i slide the panel fast and tap the app happens the next:
the apps opens, but the edge panel doesnt close and i see the opened app under blurred edge panel. So i need to tap my app one more time.
Official rom, 2 customs 8+ ports had the same problem. idk what to do.
Can smb help?
