Side Bar

Hi,
I've been using my new HD2 for almost a week and I'm very happy with it. I've a little problem, however, that the special function of the side bar has disappeared. That is, when you press the side roll bar, it will become bigger and make you easier to control and roll the bar up/down. But this morning when i press the side bar, it doesn't enlarge itself, though i'm still able to roll it up and down. I really love to have it enlarged when pressed. Can you tell me how to make this function work again? Thanks.

noticed mine has disapeared too, i had to hard reset my phone for a different reason and it still hasnt come back. i`d really like it back too.

This function has expiry date?!

I haven't the slightest clue what your talking about. what is a side bar?

I think they're talking about scroll bars that get bigger when you put your thumb/finger on them.
Guys - what applications are they not working in? Do they work, for example, in file explorer?

its not present in any applications, its like it was an app itself and somehow been deleted. like i said i`v hard reset a couple of times for various reasons but been missing that scroll bar icon for a while now. to me its not the end of the world but it can be a bit fiddly at times.

You know what? This is totally strange!
Reading this post I said to myself: let's check. Stupor, the magnifying part of the scroll bar is gone, vanished!
I wonder if the guys from HTC are aware of that…

Well mine still works. Have you guys been adding any theme mods?

Maybe you folks changed the theme?
The biggie smalls scrollbars only work on the default HTC Black theme, if you select one of the WM6.5 designer themes or download your own the magic scrollbars will be turned off.

You're right! I changed back from Rock and Republic black theme to HTC Black and is working.

maybe it can be done a port of it on the other themes.

Maybe, that would be nice.
The thing that's stopped me from getting new themes for the HD2 is exactly the loss of those scrollbars.

WEIRDEST THING. Look.

Nexus S i9020T, Brainmaster's MIUI final base Gingerbread. Followed the steps to hide the carrier name at the top left.
Here's what I can see now.

wow thats wierd, i havent noticed that! i just upgrade to ics already tho :/

What is weird?
May be that's the result after the "steps" you followed?

Wierd i haven't seen it

Come on man. A house???!? That IS strange. The "hack" is supposed to let you display whatever text you want on the upper left, and it works perfectly, but if you want to display no text and you leave a blank space, a HOUSE appears. Baha.

Strange thing. Never seen that before!

Actually if you're on brainmaster MIUI there should be no need to "hack" it. His MIUI usually comes with MIUI Settings app and you can use that to customize the carrier name or hide it completely.
My guess is it's the "carrier logo" image that comes with the theme.

for me too, this is a 'standard' carrier logo coming with the theme

looks pretty weird

Can the navbar be transparent/opaque?

I HATE how the navbar turns to black on most apps.......it is so annoying
Samsung is like "here, have this beautiful, large, near-bezelless screen.....but lets shut a portion of the AMOLED screen off on the bottom with a HUGE BLACK BOX THAT MAY AS WELL BE A BEZEL."
Shouldn't there be an option to make it transparent like it is when you're on your home screen...or at the very worst, just shaded like when you're in Bixby?

Was already answered on OT

is transparent in some apps - i guess its app dependent - but it reverses to black/white or whatever is your selected colour when typing or so
i guess it's up to the app developers to allow it in their apps

what apps is it transparent in for you...because I can't find a single app where it is still transparent (other than Bixby and the home screen)?

well out of the top of my head?
BBC weather - sounds silly but give it a try and see

Falcon pro for example.

I wish
I wouldn't even mind as much if the navbar could be white in all Google apps....but it's black.
No matter what I change, I can't get it to stay white. It basically makes the onscreen navbar and softkeys appear to be on a huge black bezel.

cliffs on immersive mode?

Immersive mode looks amazing on this phone. Haven't had any issues with any apps. Do note that some apps, like Samsung messages, have their text field all the way at the bottom - so it's a little annoying to swipe up to bring up the navigation bar since it also touches the field which brings up the keyboard. It takes a bit to get used to on certain apps.
The app i'm using to get the Immersive mode toggle is ShortCutter Quick Settings - from the play store.

Dumb question: how to activate the immersive mode?

right? I wish it were as simple as it being in the settings....but it's not.

There's another way I saw this morning, but you need to be able to use adb - and you should know how!

Exactly! what would be perfect is the opaque way it looks on the launcher screen. I've looked everywhere and tried all different things but for some reason thats just not a thing! Would be so good is Navbarapps had an option to toggle transparency

but they don't.....

Am I wrong? When I just got the S8 it seems most apps had the nav bar transparent. Even twitter, Chrome, etc.
Now it's always black. Only transparent/ opaque in some Samsung native apps.
I thought the whole point was to make it less bezel.
Any idea what's going on?

If you hide the nav bar with this app how do you access it then and move/ navigate around=? Can it be swiped up or something?

White display Problem

Hi, I'm on stock rom 339, rooted and no custom kernel.
I'm getting whitish display( the kind when your display is broken) at the top and bottom sides of the phone after playing pubg for a while...
I think it's because the bottom part is heating way too much...
Any solutions? I'm really worried about the display

Don't worry its just because of theme.
Happened with me before.
Try darker wallpaper.

Its not a display problem. Its the launcher. Display defects don't show up in screenshots.

Android 10 black bar issue

I updated to the new Android 10 and it's really good so far with the new animations and quirks here and there . But for some annoying reason Samsung decided to add this white/black bar underneath the keyboard and it's really uncomfortable and takes so much screen estate . Tried uninstalling and reinstalling Gboard but it's still there and there's no option to disable it . Any ideas on how to get rid of it ?

I think you can find it somewhere inside the Display > Navigation Bar > and the one that has something to do with they keyboard option (I'm sorry I don't have my phone with me right now)

Thats strange. I dont have that black bar under keyboard

Do you have the option for having hide button on keyboard or something like that? It's a toggle under the options for gestures.

Technically I guess. It's call [Invaser]Faceless in the Samsung Themes store.

It's in display settings
Turn off show hide keyboard button.
