Quick peek at time and date with screen off - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I accidentally came across this feature that I've never heard of or seen before. When the screen is off tap once then drag your finger down a bit and you'll get a little heads up.

I saw that once and though my display was going bad again. Thanks

I love this feature and the knock features as well. They're awesome. But LG should have given the user a choice whether to use them. Seems like it would be very simple to have a setting for these and whether they are active or not based on the user preference.

I thought my screen was having issues too, and I agree - would be nice to have the option to enable or disable this as battery life is undoubtedly taking a slight hit.

Does this work on the AT&T version? I've tried like 50 times and haven't got this to display a single time...

This is awesome on the Verizon version. I have seen this flash a few times and not know why. That is super awesome.
It is basically a swipe down / hold motion. Once you remove your finger, it turns back off.

I dont seem to have this function on TMo version. If I swipe down the blue light flashes for a second, but thats it.

you have to have a lock screen on to use

It's been confirmed that and the multiple users (guest mode) features have been excluded from the AT&T version. I looked a couple of days ago, and was disappointed to learn this.

Boo damn AT&T

I was skimming through the user manual included in my T-Mobile box and it's actually listed in there. That is how I found out about it. I'm guessing it's in everyone's manual probably.

Whoa.. I didn't even get a user manual..

FYI. Not only do you have to have a lock screen, but the screen has to be locked. I have my lock timer (Settings | Display | Lock screen | Lock timer) set for 5 min after screen timeout, and for those 5 minutes the peek doesn't seem to work.

I just have swipe to unlock and it works. You just pull down from the top just like you normally would but with the screen off. The led will turn on and just let go and pull down again and it will show.

Anyone care to guess why AT&T would omit this feature?
I'm bummed about it but guess when root or twrp is available I will be able to add it back.

Why must carriers mess with features of a vendors phone? I wish there was a ROM I could use to get back to factory for a base LG G4 (like the developer version of HTC One M8 I used to have).
I must have disabled a page and a half of AT&T apps that all require some form of payment to use...

[APP] Galaxy Screen burn-in\ghosting diagnose and repair utility

Hi All,
I've written a small utility that will help you diagnose and repair screen burn-in issues on your Galaxy Nexus.
You can download the App from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bengigi.screen.diagnostic
The diagnose mode shows a full screen white color, with minimal brightness so you can check if you have screen burn-in issues.
The repair mode displays a full screen inverted color of the Galaxy Nexus buttons and top bars.
Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas\comments about the App and how it can be improved.
Thanks!
Changes
-------------
Version 1.1:
- Added support for custom images by taking a screen shot
Never had burn in issues but if this works, this will be huge.

My nexus is almost a year old, so that maybe the reason.
Here's how the burn-in looks like on my device:

wowa! This really works!!
1 minute of doing this and the burn in is gone
Seems great. Looks like I haven't suffered any burn in, but if I did this utility wouldn't help me as I don't use the stock soft key images, and this will only display an invert of those images.

No, the inverted image I'm using is based on the stock rom navbars, but I can modify it to support other navbars, but I'll need a screen shot of the for that.

Maybe you can modify this so it can repair all kinds of navbar heights and buttons! I know this is a lot of work, so you can turn this into a paid app. Anyhow, thank you for this app!

Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
If you guys are talking about the stock app, how can you say it works perfectly when the dimensions of the app force you to use more than three quarters of the screen to use it? Could you recommend one that uses half the screen, because if I am expected to give up so much real estate for it, it would be better to completely switch from one app to another. I had thought the whole idea of multitasking was to do more than one thing at a time.
EDIT
Honestly, if you guys are just attempting to be rude, I'd rather not have the help because I was intending to get answers to a serious question.
If the video player that comes stock didn't show the full dimensions of the movie but "worked perfectly" with multi window by merely running and displaying half of the screen, I doubt that would be good enough for you. Of course, you could just expand the window to get more of the picture, but that defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

I second aircal, I use it on jellybam (no multi-window as it is AOSP) but floating calc = better the multi-window calc since you can have 3 things up at a time then lol.
Of course the calc is not super feature rich, but for general math it is good enough for me.

Thanks. With the dev name, I was able to find it. Without it it seemed as though you were talking about the stock and I didn't know any better. It was pretty far down the list, but I found it and I will try it out. The screen shot surely looks much more promising then the stock one on our devices. The Air also looks to have even greater utility and I will give it a look as well. Thanks again.

This clarification helped immensely. The app works truly flawless. This is the answer.

Post your (T-Mo GS4) software pet peeves

We all have them - and it will help ROM devs to know what "the people" want to be changed.
Mine include the clutter in the notification bar, particularly the WiFi Calling item, and the "suggested activities" on plugging in headphones. I'll let you guess which I've already removed.
e: If it's a major missing feature like real lock screen widgets or photo sphere, it probably doesn't belong in this thread, nor does hardware items.
You know you can now hide the wifi calling by long pressing on it in the notification bar, going to app info, and clicking to turn off notifications? It removes the icon and keeps your wifi calling intact.
Widgets. Battery drains I never use.
Stock Samsung colors.
Non-inverted apps.
How about PhotoSphere? I heard it's not on the S4, even though it has 4.2.2.

The M8 also has a power saver mode for regular use. "You'll be surprised how long your battery lasts." Shortly after launch, there will be an extreme power saver mode, which looks like it's a simplified menu of options.

I've done a bit of changing things, so if I've already forgotten what's stock and what's modded, I thought in settings --> power there's a checkbox for powersave (*not* extreme powersave). It's possible I saw something here on xda that talked about a sqlite edit to a settings file that turned that on. I see you have a Skyfall signature, so assuming you're already S-OFF and rooted yourself, I'm sure you can also make that change.

Knock code do not work

Hello, guys.
Knock code is not working on my G4...
I need to turn on the screen to use the code...
I have to make some configuration?
Thx.
This happens to me sometimes to, it works with the screen off sometimes, but most of the time I have to turn the screen on. Usually use double-tap to wake when that happens. Probably going to get better functionality with an update hopefully.

Not the double tap to wake. The option where you tap a code into the screen instead of using a standard lock screen code or pattern unlock.
Same here, too many misses of the Knock code (compare to the G3). I really hope that it's just software issue and not hardware (digitizer).
It's hit or miss with mine (no pun intended). When the screen is on, there is a square, blue outline of a box in the lower half of the screen. I assume at that point you're supposed to tap within the box, rather than using the entire screen?

I was having this same problem and even factory defaulting the device did not help.
I later found out that I was accessing it the wrong way and all is well now.
Go to Settings > Display > Lock Screen > Select Screen Lock and you should be able to choose them properly.
However, I was accessing it through:
Settings > General > Security > Screen pin and over here the options for knock code is grayed out.
I hope this helped~!
I've been having the same issue with the knock code only working 70% of the time when the screen is off. I didn't own the G3 so I have no idea if this is worse performance than it. It's very frustrating. This and the slow charging issues the G4 has are really disappointing.

FYI, T-Mobile pushed out an update this week. Among the changes (actually, the only change I've noticed so far) is the knock to unlock has improved. That seems to suggest a software fix can help.
