In your phone dialer type: *#*#4636#*#*
This code can be used to get some interesting information about your phone and battery. It shows following 4 menus on screen:
Phone information
Battery information
Battery history
Usage statistics
Try it but I suggest you don't modify anything you are not sure. Use it for view only unless you are sure and you take notes of what you modify (although there's not much to modify)
keys also spell *#*#INFO#*#*
similar to the update check combination of *#*#CHECKIN#*#*
There in first line have fue setting,interesting what they can do...

There also the *#*#3424#*#* code which launches the HTC Function Test Program which allows you to test functions of the phone.

It you open Phone from the home screens, then choose the bottom right icon, you should be directed to a Call History screen. For call duration, hold your finger over one entry and chose View detailed call history.
You know how if you hover your finger over a picture in the gallery or an item in your calender or an SMS, you'll get a pop up of it?
Well I used to be able to do that to emails and whats app messages in the notification menu. The thing you pull down from the top when you get a notification.
Now I cant see those pop ups with air view.
How did it get disabled?
Pull down your notif bar>long press air view
You'll find a looot of things to tick and untick there

What do you mean?
My problem is that before, if I got an email or a whatsapp message, I hover my finger over the notification of the message in the notification pulldown menu, I can see the message.
I already have "information preview" enabled in the Air View menu.
I used to be able to do Air View over notifications like gmailor whatsapp, but now I cant.
You have to enable "information preview" under airview settings.

Yes I could see pop ups.
So if I got a whatsup message, I hover my finger over it and a pop up window (like in SMS for example) appears with the message. It was very handy.
Same thing for gmail emails.
Suddenly it stopped working.

What was a fluke?
It worked for 4 days.
I even showed it to a friend and he tried it on his S4 in front of me and it worked.
Then suddenly it stopped working.
I've been trying every time I get a notification all day since that day.
Even when it did work, it was sorta random. Sometimes it'd work and sometimes it wouldn't.

Hm. Strange. Perhaps you could try a nandroid backup then factory reset to see if it works again?
no one else had air view for notifications?
No Air View in the standard email app
LastPass was the culprit for me. Disabling it in Accessibility gave me back my Air View in the standard email app. So to any that are having issues with Air View not working it is most certainly an app. First look at anything in Accessibility that is associated with any app that you've added and disable it.
On 4.2.2 MGA (and older chrome version) airview worked as mouseover, it was SOOO good popup menus etc.
It didn't work all the time though.
Had random occurrences too when it's worked in other non samsung apps like WhatsApp like you said. Also when I used a remote desktop I could move the Windows pointer around without even touching the screen! But I've searched and searched and no one seems to have a definite answer how and why!!

Hi,
Same here! I was on 4.2.2 stock on my S4 GT-i9505 for about a year, i used to preview Facebook comments, Whatsapp messages just hovering my finger and a pop-up showed the entire message. But since I upgraded to 4.4.2 , i missed that!
Anyone solved this?! :good:
edit: remember that on 4.2.2 i could preview the messages only if i pull down the notifications with the SCREEN LOCKED (slide to unlock) and then hovering my finger.

Hey fellas! I just recorded a video showing that feature on Facebook notification in S4 Wanamlite Kit Kat ROM. But for some reason it shows for a few mili-seconds. browse on youtube for "air view hovering facebook notifications"
So, thats possible to expand notifications just hovering the finger. Just need a fix to pop-up remains for a long time!

Air Gestures will let you navigate by waving your hand. Instead of swiping your finger from picture to picture in your gallery, you can wave your hand instead. You can even answer your phone without picking it up. You will find quick on/off toggles for both Air View and Air Gestures in your notification pull down, but you might need to fine tune the settings a little. Just hit the break for our video showing you how to set them up and how to use them.

Same thing, the app work on it but when I pull down the notification bar, it seems to disable the Air View Function!
In the pool party commercial for the S4, they show a girl checking her text message on her lock screen by hovering her finger over the "New Message" box on the lock screen.
Here is a link. It happens around 1 minute:

Maybe it's not a lock screen but a widget of some sort? It looks like either a lock screen or home screen.
True. Can't tell but it's either home screen or Lockscreen. Both where previews don't work with air view?

I wasn't able to get it to work on the lock screen. The box shows up looking just like the commercial but hovering my hand doesn't do anything. I'm wondering if this is a feature not in the AT&T version... I tried doing it as a widget on the home screen but it also didn't work with air view.

You have to click to the left of the on off toggle for air view in the settings.. It will bring up a menu and make sure information preview is selected.. Also if the whole message can be seen in the message preview on the lock screen it won't air view... It has to be more than the preview can show

So have you gotten it to work? In my lock screen, the box says "New Message" but doesn't show ANY of the text. Do I need to make a new widget on my lock screen or something? Air view isn't working over the standard "New Message" box that shows up on the lock screen by default. If you could take a pic of where the air view is working for you on the lock screen, that would be great.
Yeah after figuring it out I've been using it a few days now... If its not showing any part of the message open the messaging app.. Then settings and make sure message preview is checked

I'm going to reiterate the steps since I think I wasn't clear enough in the first post I made here..
To enable airview and get the messaging preview from it like the pool party commercial is a two step process Samsung did not enable the information preview from the factory so you must do this yourself..
Step one: goto your phones settings then my device and scroll down to airview.. Make sure the button next to the word airview is green THEN tap the word airview and it will open a sub menu with 5 settings in it.. Make sure information preview is turned on and green
Step 2: open the messaging app and hit the menu button to access settings..scroll down to notification settings and make sure message preview is checked off with the green check mark (again Samsung did not enable this by default so you must check it yourself)
To test text yourself or have someone text you with a few sentences and hover your finger over the notification on the lock screen it will bring up the bubble like in the commercial.
If the entire message can be seen in the preview on the lock screen (ex: hey) then airview will not doing anything here.. Its only for messages larger than the preview can display..
If your notification on the lock screen only shows 1 new message you do not have message preview enabled under the messaging app..
Airview and information preview will allow you to hover over your calendar (app not widget), and in the email app (not gmail) as well.
Also yes I am on an AT&T S4

So I've been googling and searching and having trouble nailing down the answer.
Friend of mine has the Galaxy S5 through Verizon
Keeps receiving texts from somebody that she doesn't want to receive texts from.
I've been trying to locate how to block the incoming text. On my S4 I see where I can choose to add the contact to "spam number." I don't see this option on the S5. I looked at the blocking list, but this only blocks a phone call I'm assuming since I added the number and she is still receiving the texts. Anywho, I was going to look in the app store but was wondering if I can do it natively. Thanks for any help.

Yea, I should have said that doesn't work. Nowhere is there an option to add to spam numbers. That's why I'm having so much trouble. You can't long press on the message. You can't menu into it. You can't go into applications/messaging/spam. Nothing. I'm baffled.

Open the text message sent to you, while on that screen, you will see three vertically aligned dots on the upper right corner of the screen. Touch it to open the menu. Scroll down and you will see "add to spam numbers".
Nope. It's not there. First thing I tried. I can't find an option, in the phone, regarding "spam numbers" at all. Zero.

Weird. All stock firmwares should have the same interface and accessible menus. Maybe she's not using S5?
When you press the 3 dots and the menu pops up you can scroll the menu up for more options..

Verizon tends to remove a lot of features on their phones. Download booster is removed as well.
On my AT&T model using AT&T messages, you click the message, then menu (3 vert. dots). Then add click "add to contact"..."create new". then name it and save it. Within that same new contact, click the menu button at top right. There is an option to "add to reject list".
it may be similar on Verizon if it's not in the top level menu.

Maybe they do that, I'm not familiar with what they do though . I can only think of a reason they did that, maybe they are offering the spam/blocking as a network service for a fee.

Knowing Verizon, they probably do.
I had done this. But it only blocks the phone call. Not the text.
I'm assuming the same as one of the other guys here. I bet if I called Verizon they offer it as a fee. Which is a load of BS.
And yes, it is an S5.

Hey guys, you can try this if you want:
You basically just need to add this to your CSC settings and it will enable a dedicated call/message blocking options in your settings.
This was posted for the Note 1 at the time but I tried it on my Note 3 and it works perfectly fine. I'm thinking it will work perfectly fine for your S5's.

It's possible that the Verizon caller ID app is running interference on this. Try disabling it (unless you pay for this service).

Im having the same issue with H990DS with stock rom & mk2000 kernel.
Have you managed to fix this?
I ran stock most of the time on my V20 and all of my calls would pop up on the second screen like you describe your wife's phone doing. I always assumed it was enabled with second screen or by default
I know that you already posted that you don't have this option but I thought I'd post some screenshots of what it looks like on mine (H990DS). I put the screenshots in the order that they come in. Mostly in case this helps someone else out with this issue.
