Fancy red lighting (hidden feature) - Galaxy S6 Edge General

Steps to get the lighting thing up...
1. Place your phone on a flat surface (this is a must, otherwise it will not work)
2. Open the camera
3. Switch to front camera/selfie mode
4. Turn off the lights in your room
5. See the magic

Note: Works best if you have a transparent case.
I do not know if it works in all variants of the S6 Edge.
Confirmed working on the S6.

The same happens if you measure your heart rate in S Health.

That's obviously obvious. Because that's part of a "function".
What function could the light possibly have when the device is on a flat surface and you want to take a selfie? None that I know of, either it's a bug or a hidden feature (as I originally thought).

This happens because you can take a selfie by putting your finger at the heart rate sensor

[App] ScreenRotator by Brins0net

Just sharing what I found:
Screen Rotator detects the orientation of the device and uses its built-in configuration dialogues to create rotation behavior rules for specific applications, with an extended option to blacklist and whitelist un/wanted programs. A very neat feature is that it will turn the screen off if the device is placed face down but it also has a great option to prevent the screen from going off automatically if the device is not perfectly laid down flat (otherwise, when flat, normal behavior occurs).
After downloading and installing it to Device, it will stay resident after launching and get the device orientation in order to properly rotate the Windows environment, though it has options for minimizing and hiding.

P.S. Hope the real developer will notice this thread (unless he has done so), and maintain it, after deleting this thread completely and openning a new one, as this is a great application with some extra cool functions, compared to SKKV Software’s GSen.
Noticed the thread is there ..... ADMINS ... kindly remove this thread completely, thank you.

[BETA] simpleON Tablet Utility

Hello All,
I am currently looking for Android tablet owners to help me test my new utility, simpleON.
simpleON is a utility for your Android tablet that enables it to turn on using the hardware light sensor. If you have a case for your device this is a must have app. Immediately after opening the cover or removing the device from a case the screen will power on. You may also choose to automatically unlock the screen lock as well.
PLEASE NOTE:
simpleON uses the light sensors on your device, so this utility will only work in a lit room. It also requires low leveling monitoring of the sensors all the time, and this may affect your battery.

I think it's an awesome tool. I've got the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I'm really interested in testing this utility.
Looks really promising! I will test it
Any progress?

Thanks.
ya... u remind me to make a youtube tutorial, but i forgot to take video while making it.
It's actually quite simple, all u need is patience.
1. search any picture u like in internet and print it out in scale suitable to ur note back area. Try to choose distinct outline picture (mine is dragon tattoo)
2. cut the outline of the pic gently using art blade.
3. paste it on ur Note back cover using normal glue.
4. buy any transparent / semi-transparent phone case to cover it up.
5. DONE!
nice work

In the WIFI settings, (advanced) there is now an option to optimise battery power when WIFI is on.
Not sure what that does tbh
Auto Screen brightness SEEMS a little dimmer (a good thing imho)

My Favorite : Take Phone/Video, (so convenient than touching the capture button onscreen). Whats yours?

Back to home + Show recent apps (+ Touchplus app) and good bye onscreen navigation bar
Most used was tap to go back once. Don't know why they removed it. It was so convenient especially for someone with small palms like me
