I just recently bought this phone and have noticed that smart pause does not work. I have s4 in which it displays an eye in status bar when enabled eye scrolling etc but for this s5 it does not work. Does it even. Have the eye scrolling features? Has anyone else experienced this problem or just me

Hello all,
I consider getting a Galaxy S4, but the problem is that the screen backlight flickers, probably in order to conserve energy.
Most people don't even notice it as it flickers very fast (similar to CRT TV flicker), but it annoys me to the point of being a deal breaker.
Is there a way to disable that? Maybe with a custom ROM?
Hi guys,
I've been experiencing a strange problem with my N4.
Sometimes when waking the phone back from idle mode the screen gets dimmed. Not all of it though – the status bar and control panel at the bottom won't be affected. It looks like a layer that all of a sudden covers most parts of my screen. Toggling the brightness settings will have an effect on the overall screen only in that it only allows more light through this half-opaque black layer, it won't get rid of it however. I need to reboot the phone in order to get rid of it.
Running a rooted N4 – CWM 6.0.4.7, SuperSU 2.16, KK 4.4.4 (KTU84P)
This has been an ongoing problem for as long as I have the phone, I think… but it seems like it's becoming more frequent. I can't find anything related to this topic on the internet.
Thanks.
Hello to everyone,
I have a Note 4 N910F with stock Android 5.0.1 and i have seen some issues with the ambient display.
With this feature the phone is supposed to turn its screen on every time a notification arrives. My phone turns its screen on for some notifications like messages and viber but for other applications the screen doesnt turn on. Allthough if i press the home screen the notification is there on the lock screen.
Its kinda annoying thing because thats one of the major functions about android lollipop.
I would like to mention that its not any settings problem because all the notifications for its application are enabled on my phone.
If anyone knows if this is normal or software issue or application issue it would be very helpful. Thank you.
First of all... How did you get ambient display to work?
I don't have the option although sammobile posted a video with a lollipop rom having this feature.
I dont know if i am right but by ambient display i mean that when a notification arrives it appears on the lock screen and the screen turns on.
For me for some apps the notification is on the lock screen and the screen doesnt wake but for other apps like messages and viber both notifications and screen wake is there.
for that reason i use an app that whenever there is a new notification the screen turns on.

Hey. Could you share your csc files so that I can enable amibent display on my device?? Your device must have it only because the country you're in.
That's not ambient display. This function is missing in the recent release of 5.0.1 touchwiz. Sammobile did show it being there in the sound and notification menu above the daydream option but seems Samsung left it out in the release. I'm thinking that the delay with release for other European countries is due to bugs and missing items, I'm not sure. The original delay was to get tw lollipop to work with the vr headset. At present its hit and miss with notifications lighting up the screen when they arrive. Some apps do it and some don't. Ambient display is where you pick up the phone and notifications are shown in black and white for quick glance as is the case for nexus 6 lollipop or cm12. I'm hoping the rollout to other countries well have solved the missing ambient display and the priority notification not having any time option like in blocking mode on kk.

All I want is "peeking" and the lockscreen notifications to work! Isn't this part of Marshmallow?
Anyone else find notifications to be not working/inconsistent? What I am looking for is to have the screen turn on with every notification...this phone is either sitting on my desk or in a car holder most of the time, so I want to see the notifications without having to handle the phone. I've tried some 3rd party heads-up notification apps that work pretty good, but I am having issues with the lock screen (sometimes I have to enter and pin AND use the fingerprint scanner, which is a bit much to just access the phone).
1. I seldom get peeking notifications even though "peeking" is selected. With some apps, peeking works sometimes and not others. I have never seen a Peek notification for gmail.
2. I find the notifications seldom turn the screen on, even though I have the ambient screen turned on. Perhaps this has something to do with problem 1.
Am I the only one?
I have the same issue. Did you find a fix?
There is already a thread on this topic, may be answers in there. However, its working fine for me, so its not an issue for all users.
Hi,
I noticed that I have this problem also. Someone managed to solve this?
Have you tried putting apps in the priority lane?
Hi
So I recently switched from a Google Nexus 5 to the Galaxy S8 and although there are a lot of things I like about the S8, there is also a few things that I do not like. Mostly this is software related.
Firstly, the quick toggles on the notification area, to quickly toggle WiFi, Bluetooth etc are a little strange. On my Nexus 5 with the stock rom (Android 6.0.x) and the LineageOS (Android 7.1.x) I could both turn on and off the wifi, bluetooth and other things without having to unlock the phone. Now with the S8, I have to unlock the phone to turn on the WiFi, but not to turn it off? This does not make any sense. Is there a way to change this? I noticed the same behaviour on my girlfriends S7 Edge, so it is clearly something in the stock Samsung ROM.
Another thing is related to the alarm clocks. On the stock Google Clock app, a notification would appear two hours before the alarm was due and allow me to cancel the alarm. Now with the Samsung ROM (Noticed this on the S7 Edge and the S8) these notifications do not appear and I cannot seem to find the settings for this, so that I can turn it on. Also I cannot find the settings for making the volume down key cancel the alarm instead of snoozing it.
Since the Samsung clock cannot be uninstalled or disabled, it would be stupid to install the stock Google Clock app to get these features back, but if this is the only way, then that might be what I have to do.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve the above issues or maybe provide a workaround for them?
Its a security thing, imagine if the phone is locked and you could turn off data/location, that would be pretty dumb wouldn't it?
Just download the google clock, you can disable the samsung one with a debloater tool.
