Just wondering for those that have the (Lollipop) update if Samsung put in "screen pinning" or "multi-user support"?!
Both were disabled by samsung, and smart lock only works with trusted devices

Can you enable it back?
I don't understand why Samsung would disable lollipop features
I don't think so... I didn't find any option to enable them
and plus i cannot connect my moto360 simply my bluetooth doesnt detect the watch...
You have to reset your watch brother. Then you will be OK. But that's so stupid that Samsung would disable these stock Lollipop features WTF Sammy?!

I think they thought that those features are too much bloat and they had to make space for their own bloat..looking at you Private Mode and Knox.

I hope theres a way to activate those features back... It sucks, i was really looking foward for smart unlock.
And i hope they release soon the s5 GPE
What about the Tocuhwiz theme sistem that was leaked, where is that?

I hope they add those features too that really stinks... screen pinning was one of the more cooler features I thought Lollipop brought! Smart unlock too.

Hi,
I have been starting to look for information about a JellyBean 4.2.1 official firmware from Samsung and I tought it might be a good idea to share the information in one place.
So far i have found that Samsung said that they will release a 4.2 firmware for some devices including our S3 Mini but it will be the last update it will get.
The S3(I9000) will get this update as well but unlike the mini it will also get Key Lime Pie in the future.
S3(I9000) already got a leaked firmware!

Wish we had such a leak.
Expected New enhancements:
Improved Ripple effect on Lockscreen
New Android 4.2.1 Lockscreen with widgets
Daydream (Settings>Display)
New Additions in Notification Center
Notifications are more actionable
Voice Command (Let’s you control various parts of the phone using voice commands)
Quick Settings Tiles Layout
for me the biggest feature i'm looking for is the "Quick Settings" tiles layout feature(trigger by two finger swipe from the top)
but! if Samsung implemented this great feature why did they keep the regular quick settings in the notification window? it take space for no reason in my opinion but i'm sure we will be able to get rid of it...
Anyhow, hope to see a leak or official firmware soon, if you have any more information to add pleas do
Will it also contains some stuff (camera 360°, sound&shot, smart pause,...) from SGS4?

I think not... and google photo sphere is also not in the leak.
so let's wait for CM 10.1. I hate Samsung! It just a software feature. must be very easy to add features of they do it. What I like is the photo sphere camera
im also looking forward for the new 4.2 update,especially i want the ripple effect back since samsung for unknown reason removed it with the last 4.1.2 update....hopefully it will come soon enough

someone said after it disabled, battery draining is much slower. Maybe Samsung disable it because of battery life.

well,if it drains battery you could always disable it...why to remove it from the features in the first place when u can disable it? the ripple effect got me into buying this phone instead of a similar spec htc or sony(which both were less expensive)...
so they should get this feature back for non-heavy users like me..to be honest i didnt see any difference in battery drainage with this stupid locker thingy now...
and its not fair to remove a feature when it is there when you buy the phone...how about you buy the new S4 which has dual camera recording/shooting and after a month samsung updates it and removes that feature saying it drains battery,when u can simply not use that

Oh well I don't know if that can disabled... but yes, the system needs to ready the effect fastly. I think yes it drains battery.
But you are right too, if it can be disabled, why they remove it...

well, your device status is custom. use "Triangle Away" app from chainfire. Free in his thread on XDA. just search. Then perform a factory reset.
If you have rooted mini, just wait couple more days after release to custom roms.
Not sure why samsung removed the ripple effect. It is kinda cool stuff.
You can get ripple effect back with 4.1.2 update. Aslong as you are rooted and have cwm.

exactly.
someone on a video on youtube said "you can expect it to be released after the S4 will come out, don't expect it sooner"
which make sense since the S4 will be released with 4.2
well according to gsmarena: "Exp. release 2013, April 26th"
so i'm guessing we should see an update in a month or so...
Ya that's right I agree with you. When I used Wonder, the galaxy SIII was coming. a month after it, I got the latest 2.3.6 update from Samsung for Wonder which contains "face unlock". face unlock in gingerbread. That time, that feature only in ICS.

So far as I can tell there is no theme settings which is a bummer. The new UI look is nice and updated, but not much else has changed. Just getting myself familiar with everything. I'm actually not too impressed so far, though I did better on the Marshmallow android game than on the Lollipop one xD

Thanks! Sprint's service is mediocre where I live but it's very cheap and they roll out updates promptly (or as promptly as Samsung allows). Still, no theming is disappointing even though they did bring over updates to the S-pen.
Time to look forward to N, if not OTA then via custom ROMs! The multi-window there is more robust and behaves more how I'd expect it to.
Adoptable storage will work if you use the S7 work around via ADB

lol gonna piss off some guys at work tomorrow who have limited verizon plans that no more Pandora during work (for now anyway).
Also there's the option to turn off Fast Charge now, not sure if the previous had this option.
One more thing, even after your battery goes below 15% you can still adjust the brightness slider. It doesn't turn dark and dissappear now like it used to.
I received the device today. Like it. B has a few bugs and some missing features
1. DND force closes when setting schedule
2. No double tap power button for camera
3. No DND quick setting
4. Be nice if second sim icon would disappear if second sim is off
5. Not able to hide icons in status bar
6. I tried activating system UI tuner. Although you get the setting icon spinning, no system UI tuner. At least not that I've seen.
This all can be fine with software updates

We can only dream. They aren't even letting us unlock the bootloader. I doubt they will ever release source codes for camera and other things to work properly on aosp roms.

I'd say we're about 70% of the way to an actual bootloader unlock. One of the MiFavor devs on the Chinese ZTE forums said they were working on it. But, that doesn't mean they can't back out now and disappoint everyone. If we do get bootloader unlock, we will at least be one step closer.

The System UI tuner isn't a bug but a feature left out on purpose. Most devices that aren't running stock Android get that feature blocked.

Because it is a feature. ZTE just opted not to enable it. It's a feature, just not on this device.
Anyway to hide status bar icons?
Probably not without root or the System UI tuner enabled.

Any custom ROM will probably have bad camera quality and weird sound optimization. Just give me root with this ROM. I'll disable everything I don't need.
I'll add some bugs/complaints:
1) Notifications(especially music) not showing on the lock screen
2) No option to use an on-screen navbar. This would be extremely useful at night.

None of these are bugs, just features that are missing or complaints lol. Bugs involving broken functionality on a fundamental level.
In developer options there is a lovely little feature - OEM Unlocking (Bootloader Unlock). It unlocks the bootloader but warns "Device protection features won't work while this setting is turned on".
Apparently doesn't work at the moment but I'm sure a Dev could do something with this...

Apart from displaying a message it does absolutely nothing and has been known about around these parts for weeks, devs can do absolutely nothing with it.

Smart Call is a feature I love on Samsung phones.
I just picked up a dual sim S8+ last week, and I can't find where to enable it. Samsung's website says to do it through 'Caller ID and spam protection' in the Call settings, but this is not an option I have.
Is this not a feature available on the international model or did Samsung remove it from Oreo?
Smart Call is available for phones meant to be shipped to US. I don't think it would work on your phone as it's not meant to be sold in US. Samsung uses HIYA to provide the smart call service. Installing HIYA yourself should also give you pretty similar results. Personally I like TrueCaller better as it works for Individual callers also and not just Businesses as in HIYA. TrueCallers database is much more robust.

Hey guys, i'm very new to this as well and i purchased T-mobile Galaxy S8 Active thats unlocked which I use on Koodo in Canada. I would also like to have smart call back like i did on my old S8. Whats the best way for me to to this, i also wouldnt mind getting rid of the t-mobile apps. Ive read about flashing the phone and putting on an unlocked firmware which would remove tmobile and put on a stock samsung firmware. is this true, what is the best way for me to do this?
