[Q] Motions and Gestures - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I have the T-Mobile Note 4 and I may have deleted something that is now stopping my gestures from working. The one I am talking about is the gesture to raise the phone to your ear on a person's contact to automatically call that person.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

[Q] How to change from slide to answer to tap/click to answer

I would like to change the slide to answer/decline call to something like tap/click to answer. Sliding drives me crazy because i have small hands and it is hard for me to slide rather than just tap. I just changed my Iphone4 to HTC One, on iOS I have had a mod called EZDecline which forced the stock system red decline and green answer button on every screen and it was good.
On HTC though, on the lockscreen there are slides - how to get rid of them without disabling lockscreen ?
I have TrickDroid v8 and Nova Launcher.

Slide buttons are only on the lockscreen while the phone is locked. There are normal buttons on unlocked phone, but I want to change the sliders on the lockscreen, since the most of the time, the telephone is locked while being called.
Really anyone did not change or mod that ?

You will have to use an app more than likely.
I use SMS pop up and it also controls the incoming phone calls and I only have to click to answer. There should be tons of apps to do what you are looking for. Just a few that I know if would be SMS Pop-up, Notify, Full Screen Caller ID.

I guess nobody sees it as a big deal ... Doesn't surprise me though that it was available on the iPhone seeing as you can''t do jack **** on an iPhone without modding or tweaking something
... On a side note though, I'm confused as to why your small hands pose such an issue with sliding to answer? Are they toddler sized hands or something?

Holding firmly phone and sliding the decline slider is just uncomfortable. Im not the type of person who focus on the phone with tho hands. I am walking and want to fast answer or decline with one hand and the grip with one hand for me is not secure.

I have downloaded SMS Popup by Adam K but there are no setting for incoming call on lockscreen and id does not work for me. Could you provide me with the proper settings ?

No settings for the call stuff. Should just reboot after installing and it should take over your incoming call screen. You may need to enable the SMS notification setting for the call screen to work though, not sure never used it without enabling the SMS notifications

If you're on latest firmware with updated touch driver, it's more like a quick flick rather than a full swipe. Pretty easy to do.

SMS notify works but the incoming call is still Slide to answer on the lockscreen. Is it because i use Nova Launcher ? I fully rebooted the phone 3 times already.

Could be. Sorry, I have never used Nova launcher.
I think it is because I have Nova with Sense 5.0 and the lockscreen comes from HTC Sense ui and it overides the incoming call styles and I am stuck with sliders.
Full screen caller ID app should still work. You can configure the how the incoming call screen looks and it wouldn't matter which launcher you are using.

The one by nickycho is really configurable. I would try that one or ultimate caller ID screen hd by lowveld.

[Q] Couple gripes coming from note 3

Hopefully someone can point out how to fix these.
1. I somehow was able to get the home screen button (without an application) on my Note 3 to open google now with a single click (not a double).
Right now google now opens for me by holding the home button. I would like to get this back to being ONE click of the home button.
2. Any way to disable the vibrate on finger scanner unlock? I hate haptic feedback and have disabled it in all the normal places (sound, keyboard etc) - but I cannot figure out how to get rid of the small vibrate when it unlocks from a fingerprint scan (I don't think the S5 ever did this).
3. For some reason the 'Always on' google now feature is greyed out within the google now settings and says 'This feature currently unavailable for this language'. On the previous screen my language is set to 'Default language: English (US).
Any help would be appreciated.. overall I like the phone a lot. Quick charge, brighter screen and the QHD is very noticeable in certain situations.
*EDIT
Was able to solve #3 by deleting app data associated with google search and resetting up google now
**EDIT 2
Figured out that it was actually NOVA launcher that allowed me to do #1, so got that working now
Anyone been able to get rid of the vibrate with the finger scanner?
For #2.
Go to settings > Sounds > Vibration Intensity
Set Notification to lowest.

You need root and/or custom ROMs to get more features.
This app allows you to disable all vibrations.

I know it has been some days since the original post, but I will try to help you...
1 - I do not know if it is possible to turn off all phone vibration. If you discover how to do that, let me know... mainly the vibration on unlocking phone with fingerprint.
2 - I guess what you want is disable the SHELF. Just hold your finger on homescreen till you get options for widgets/wallpaper/etc... there will be some settings that you can disable shelf. I am not running original laucher, so I could not say for sure the steps, but it is there!
Sorry about english!

Question Incoming Call when screen is locked

Screen locked.
Phone call comes in.
I can't just let the phone continue to ring and do anything else in the meantime, like unlock to the home screen.
Any way to change this?

Yes, you can. On the incoming call screen, just swipe on the edge panel (you have to have it enabled) and choose whatever app you want from the list. It will open up in multi-window mode, with the incoming call screen in the other window. Keep using the app while the phone rings away
Attaching some screenshots I took for you.

A bit convoluted, but, it gets the job done.

At least OneUI lets you do this. I'm not aware of any other phone manufacturer who has an option to do anything on the phone with an ongoing incoming call screen. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hmmm..Pixel is my only other Android experience. I don't remember what it used to do.
I don't know/remember what iPhone does either.
It's the fact that we let go of those navigation and home buttons, I guess.

Even with the home button (physical or virtual), you cannot dismiss an incoming call screen altogether without taking some action like accepting or rejecting the call. I've tried this on iPhone as well as Android from various manufacturers. Amongst the phones I've personally used, Samsung is the only stock firmware that gives you a work-around in this matter.
