iPad-like Smart Cover APP

I have a flip case and was wondering what APP actually makes use of the close to lock and open to unlock feature similar to the iPad. I tried a few APPS and all of them have their flaws. Mostly 1) the proximity sensor is too sensitive and 2) it appears the light sensor on the note is horrible.
It'll be great if someone can give me some advice on this.
Thanks in advance!

There no similar app like that unless u use the proximity sensor because the ipad uses magnet to lock and unlock the device which the galaxy note dont have
And also i found a app called smart screen off for android using proximity sensor close to what ur finding
But correct me if i am wrong

S4 built in sensors

After lil more than 1wk, I still discover a few new things about this amazing phone. Particularly the built in sensors. I read somewhere that S4 is the first smartphone with hygrometer to measure humidity. Cool.
But i have no idea that there's also the magnetometer is there also to measure magetic flux and field strength. I had fun moving it close to electronic equipments and an old phone case with magnetic clasp and see how the reading changes. testing near MRI is of course not rec.
Of course the barometer and thermometer are there too.
Between the two apps: weather signal and weather station, all these sensor readings can be accessed live... amazing.... forget about accessing s health to read sensor...
the only thing iphone got above s4 is the fingerprint reader. But i am quite certain that samsung won't let that by on their next iteration of the galaxy... Maybe they can figure out how to make a pulse reader and pulse oximeter sensor to build into the phone? I think built in body function sensors could be the next big things...
Btw, i am about to enclose my S4 into a watertight case. I imagine the barometer, thermometer and hygrometer will be a little less accurate .

How to read all the sensors data? But not the raw machine data, preferable with human readable interface?

I don't think there's a thermometer on here

I showed the s4 sensor readings on weather station..... my friends thought I was just pulling the local weather numbers off the internet and said their iPhones could do that too... I don't think they completely believe me that the numbers on the s4 were not from internet....

How does the thermometer measure anything but the battery temperature? I figured that the battery temp would overshadow anything else it could measure. Maybe my phone just runs too hot?

I've just encased mine in a watertight lifeproof knockoff. So now these sensors are not as functional. I do see yr point about battery temp and i think weather station actually has a pro ver which try to compensate for even the presence of battery heat. I am fairly certain though that the sensor doesn't just measure your battery temp and can't measure anything else....

LG Watch Sport or Casio Protrek WSD F-20?

Hi all,
I am dilemma between LG watch sport (W281) and Casio Protrek WSD F20. Any suggestion?

I have both and each has it's own strengths and weaknesses.
LG is more refined and premium looking, has radio and HR sensor embedded, which I use from time to time and has amazing AMOLED display.
Casio on the other hand is more rugged, has offline mapping software based Open Street Maps (which I used often) and you can partially use it even when battery is almost depleted (it switches to second layer clock only display). The display visibility is pretty bad under direct sunlight (thanks to dual layer display probably).
I like them both

Thank you for reply. The only thing i don't like about LG Watch Sport is its strap which is not interchangeable.
Protrek does not have HR sensor, LTE etc... I still don't know what to choose

I initially was looking at the Casio.
I found it huge on my wrist, and rather 'plastic' looking.
No comparison in my view, unless you need the Casio speciality functions.

Any Temperature App for IR blaster?

Because there are devices out there using infrared to measure the temperature, so I'm wondering is there any 3rd party app to be used with the IR blaster to measure temperature.

Barometer?

Does this have a Barometer pressure sensor?
Specs on gsmarena say so but when I open apps like accurate altimeter, it says there is bo sensor to measure pressure

I noticed the same.
seems like a mistake even on samsungs website. They also say there that it has a barometer sensor.
