Double tap to wake (dt2w) or gesture wake ? - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers

Hi guys, im interested in the t580 (tab a 10.1 inches), but I cannot stand pressing buttons to wake it up. Im aware of 3rd party pseudo solutions, but i prefer it to be rom/kernel based, so is there any support for that kind of function in hardware/smasung rom/xda rom ?
Thank you

I use a smart cover for this.
When I flip the cover it automatically turns on my tab

Thanks Richy, but does it actually mean the answer to my question is "no" ?

I am also very interested to know if this is possible

Any news to this?

Disable ALL vibration on HD Mini??

Hi guys,
Just wonder if there's an easy way (reg trick or something) to disable all vibration on HD Mini? I found it annoying when a phone does vibrate, so would like to make sure it NEVER vibrates, no matter what.
I know it is possible to disable vibration in settings, but not all of it — I was unable to figure out how to disable the vibration of 5 keys below the screen, for instance.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Bump. Still no ideas how to do that, HTC support didn't reply to my email and it's still very annoying...
Does anyone know if IGO8 works with the mini? I am seriously considering this device since I at the point of being able to renew my contract.
Would love to know if anyone knows. Thanks!!!
Cpt_Chaos,
Sorry, how does your question relate to my topic? Still waiting for the clues though...
I am also wondering how to disable to haptic feedback whenever i press the touch keyboard.
Hi, I am really sorry for the mix up. I had2 threads open in different tabs and this was one of the 2 that I was reading. Sorry for posting in the wrong thread. It was later and I didnt notice the mistake.

Yep, got it installed. Which specific setting should I look for?
Also got the same problem on both keyboard and the 5 keys. Any suggestion?

Right, so we got an official reply from HTC support: disabling haptic feedback for the 5 hard keys is not possible.
Looks like I am going to sell the damn thing.

Hmm. This sucks!
Can you please tell me how long did you wait for the reply? I'm still waiting for an answer about my email/Imap problem.

[Q] Does S-Pen work on custom launcher?

I am yet to receive my SGN (Friday fingers crossed) but I am not a fan of the 'iPhone style' interface ofTouch Wiz... I will definitely be installing Launcher Pro or GoLauncher but will the S-Pen still work on the home screen (gestures etc) I am not too bothered about the widgets as long as I can get access to notes via a double tap and navigate the screens with the pen
The pen works with everything and the samsung widgets can be used in other launchers...
Im using and testing out LP at the moment and it seems to work fine.

Excellent! Thanks
It also works with go launcher. S-memo and screenshot also working fine.
... tapat*lked
ADW and Go Launcher = laggy on the Note
Launcher Pro = smoooooth
does anyone have a clue how the s-pen works?
How is the feature with the button realised etc???
I would like to hack any other stylus with this button feature.
or does anybody know if i could use a wocom stylus together with the Note.
Any hint is welcome.

yes my wife's note 3 n9000q model has the same problem.
Any tips to solve it?
I've noticed the same thing, I think it's ROM related, because if you actually go in every gesture and click try it, it works just fine.
Also the gestures do work just kind of strange, I've noticed it with screen off, when you keep moving your are over the sensor a lot fast, the preview screen does come on.
Also answer Call and screen shot movements work fine.
For me I don;t use them as much, specially since the eye stuff work great, I would just leave it alone, I thinks it's ROM not hardware so changing the note won;t help. But I may be wrong, I still have like 10 days to exchange so if someone knows more info please share
Problem solved.
Went to the shop and replce it for a new one. the sensor was broken.
I don't get the icon, but it does work.
Not that I use it, it drains my battery to much.
Hey Guys,
So here's the explanation. The Air Jump icon which looks like a hand with directional arrows around it only appears in the embedded email application on the Note 3 as well as some select 3rd party applications on the Google Play Store.
On the Galaxy S4 it appears in the embedded browser as well to allow users to scroll through web pages by waving your hand from bottom to top or top to bottom.
I'm not sure why they have left this out but i imagine it's because the phone has smart scroll already which might make air jump redundant.
Hope this helps.

Has anyone tried to pull the Browser from the S4 and install it on a Note 3 to see if the air gestures work in that? I too was disappointed when I got my Note 3 because I actually used the full page scroll and left/right page switching a lot on the S4.

Maybe your sensor was indeed broken, but mine is fine (Works with Air Call Accept, Email app)

Stock Long-Press NOT Working

Hi everyone,
Just purchased the G2 and I am so impressed with the phone, how unfortunate that it's so under-rated.
One issue so far is not being able to access to the quick shortcuts from long-pressing the volume up/down buttons. Is there an option in settings to turn on/off this feature? I've held the buttons for ages and no luck.
I hope I don't have to return the phone or root and install G2 Xposed. Anyone have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
Cheers,
Dave
Are you trying the shortcuts with the screen on or off?

Figured out what was happening, shortcuts don't work when the QuickWindow case is fitted and the lid is closed.

incorrect, the camera still functions and opens a mini camera in the window.

[Q] double tap to lock/unlock the Note 4.

Hello there,
Today I went with a friend of mine and bought him a brand new LG G3, I played with the phone a bit, and I really liked the "double tap" feature where you can lock or wake the phone up without having to press the power button every time you wish to unlock the phone.
My question is, is it possible to implement this setting in the Note 4? (N910C)
and if it is developed or under development, can anyone suggest a kernel/mod/rom that has that feature...
Thanks guys.
it's just a simple question and I'm new here :/
can't anyone suggest something?
I would be appreciate it.
Nope and nope for both of your questions.

hi,
just a quick point. /and question ?
Why do i want to double tap to wake etc...? If i have some other good options?
i flip open my S view case, to wake my device (without touching my screen etc) To put my phone to sleep i can either also double tap screen (Screen off app on Play market) or slide my finger (along top right side)(GMD app.. need root) on screen.. same effect?
To me its just as cool !
(Just some other cool methods!)
Good luck

Well, yeah I know these options and about those apps, all of these apps have one thing, they can lock the screen and not wake it up.
Its not that I will need this feature in anyway.. was just asking if it's possible to implement it through the kernel or a rom, or if its a hardware sensor thing..
because I was wondering, how would a phone wake up from an "OFF" screen with tapping on it, if there wan't any sensor to detect it..
and I wanted to see how would that work on a phone that never had that feature before such as samsung.
Thanks for your answer.
PM: I don't have a samsung phone, my question was for educational purpose as I'm doing electrical engineering.
Yes, it's totally possible, and has been added to many custom ROMs for many different devices.
Actually, to be more accurate, it's added to the kernel. So basically just look at all the custom kernels that are available for you, and see if any have that feature. If not, you could always ask a kernel developer nicely, or offer to donate a little if they'd add it for you..
