So with your screen off, slide a finger down it an inch or so & hold it. See what happens? Who knew?

Ok, I had no idea and yes that is a super cool trick. I'll have to see if that works on my G4 as well. Good find.

You guys know about the double tap to turn the screen on and off as well? And one feature i really like is the pocket mode. If the phone detects its in your pocket you can just slide your finger to unlock it versus having to enter your unlock,pw, or knock code?

Sliding a finger down the screen just makes my phones led turn red & the screen flickers. I'm I doing something wrong?

Wipe your screen and pull down a little more confidently, you're almost there if your led turns on and your screen flickers

What kind of hidden features man, I really tired of it. I heard that I can reset my phone with secret codes and do a lot of stuff like that. Is that true?

It's not hidden, you can reset your phone from the Recovery menu. Anyone can do that on your phone because no password is needed.

First, my phone won't do anything when I touch, slide, then hold on closed screen. And why can't I find advanced features in settings when Google says its there but now won't tell me where it is or how to get to it!! So frustrated right now.
