Samsung S6 Edge + auto rotation setting disappeared - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I recently disabled auto rotation via the pull down shade. After I had disabled the setting, the bubble vanished from the shade. A few days later when I wanted to enable auto rotation again, I could not find the setting anywhere.
I looked in the pull down shade, when I click to edit the settings shown in the shade it was not there, and neither is it under the display settings. I searched for it (used various variants such as "Screen", "Rotation", "Auto" etc) on the S Finder as well as with the Google Search bar, no luck.
I am on the unlocked (/international) variant, SM-G928C running 5.1.1 Build number LMY47X. No root, no custom kernel or OS.
Has anyone experienced this and, if so, been able to solve it?
Thank you

No, I haven't experienced any issue yet on my variant. I'm on AT&T and I keep toggling between auto rotation on and off!

How to enable System UI Tuner ?

Hello,
As you may know, Android 6 has a hidden feature, called System UI Tuner. This can be enabled by long-pressing the Settings icon in the top-right corner of the notifications bar. Once enabled, a new section appears in Settings, called "System UI Tuner". I think Developer mode must be enabled too for this to work, and animations must be on.
But on the S7 Edge, this doesn't seem to work. Tried to long-press that icon, and nothing. Animations are on, developer mode is enabled.
Did anyone succeed in enabling this ?
Thanks !

Not sure why you want that, since touchwiz ui already supports everything from there.. Imo

Really ? How can I remove icons from the status bar, like the Bluetooth icon even when it is enabled, for example, and have more room for notification icons ?

System UI Tuner isn't available on Touchwiz. Samsung removed it. However, I'm guessing most of you upgraded to Android Nougat, but for those of you who haven't should get this app called Good Lock.
Good Lock is an app made by Samsung that actually replaces the System UI on your phone, and will make it almost stock Android. I sure you still won't find System UI Tuner by holding the Settings button, but I sure that there is a setting in the Good Lock Settings menu to do so. My thought is that the Good Lock Settings Menu is their version of System UI Tuner.
You can find Good Lock in the Galaxy Store, but if it is not there for whatever reason, then just sideload it from this link here.
(apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/good-lock/good-lock-24-0-16-release/good-lock-24-0-16-android-apk-download)
--enter the link without the brackets, xda won't allow me to post links until I have made 10 posts--
I'm not sure if this will work in Nougat, as in the website it said that the minimum version of Android is Marshmallow, and the maximum version of Android is Marshmallow.
If you are willing to take the risk, try it and let us know if it will work.
Hope I helped!
It is pretty much impossible
You can't enable it Samsung and other companies have disabled it in manufacturing

Go here and try it. I did get it working on my s7 edge non rooted but I recently had to do a factory reset and I can't get it to work. https://www.recovery-android.com/tips/access-system-ui-tuner-s7.html
i think this would be a better decision as it wouldnt require a computer.

simply enable with adb once and you can tweak your phone anywhere without having to use a computer

System UI Tuner in Nougat

Is it possible in any way to enable the System UI Tuner in Nougat build, or has Samsung removed this feature? I'm particularly looking for notification power controls as there seems to be no way to disable heads up without also making them silent.
Waiting to know the solution as well
Im annoyed by the WhatsApp heads up notification
Super annoying for sure! Hating 7.0 on AT&T because of this. Still no fix!
There's a new official API in Nougat for this
Check this https://www.xda-developers.com/get-custom-quick-settings-tiles/
Called? I don't see anything that disables peek and doesn't require root.

Sorry, don't understand what you mean by "called"

The "Nougat way" of editing quick settings buttons (actually replacing system UI tuner, which has been phased out) tiles doesn't' require root at all.
To use it under S7 nougat, fully expand quick settings area then, open the three dot menu and press "edit".
There are some 3rd party apps which allows to add custom tiles ("Custom Quick Settings" being one of them), some others apps already support this feature for their own usage.
I confess I don't know what "notification power control" is: I was only replying to the thread subject ("System UI Tuner in Nougat").
But maybe if you give a more detailed explanation of what you're trying to to ("disable peek"), I could help on it too.
"Called" means what is this app called that enables Ui Timer settings, therefore the ability to disable message peek.
Message peak is when you are trying to do something on your phone, but you cannot see your screen because every message that arrives is instantly in your face with the full length of the message for everyone to see. I want notifications to ding and vibrate, but only show an icon on the status bar. Not show my messages to the whole world, nor me when i don't want to see them. The only option in notifications with the Samsung version of 7.0 is everything off, or messages in your face with vibrate and ding. Horrible decision by Samsung.
System UI Tuner has the ability to set notification levels including disabling message previews however Samsung pulled it out in 7.0. The solution is this command and you don't have to be rooted:
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0

Works perfectly!
I, I get it: I didn't have all the extra options in system UI tuner in my previous device running Marshmallow (only the "tiles" stuff", this wasn't a Samsung device) thus my mistake on the exact scope of your question.
Dear madfusker,
Did you find a solution to the problem? I just updated my S7 Edge to Nougat 7,0 and now I experience the exact same problem as you. Very annoying.

I don't know how to enable the System UI Tuner, but you can disable "peeking". In Application Info inside Settings > Apps, just below Permissions you will find what you are looking for in 'Apps that can appear on top' under 'Advanced'. It's there for most apps.

I have night mode on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 tablet running 7.0
You might want to consider a third party app. I know it's not the elegant way but there is an app that offers you a full System UI Tuner.
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.zacharee1.systemuituner
Read carefully etc - you still use a Samsung phone But I use this app on my Galaxy A5 running Stock Nougat TouchWiz and most stuff works.
Hope I could help achieving some good results.
Edit: Use this link from your phone with the xda labs app installed. I don't know whether the link works otherwise!

I've got Galaxy S8 Sm-G950U Nougat 7.0 on Boost Mobile and can't get the SystemUI Tuner to enable by holding down setting gear in notification blind. Did Samsung remove the feature?
My wife has Moto E4 Nougat 7.1.1 on Boost and I enabled it just fine on her phone. I don't see the Night Mode option in her SystemUI Tuner though.
Edit: nvm. They apparently did. For anyone else who wants the features of the SystemUI Tuner and can't enable it,

S8 edge notifications

Not to be a D, but wouldn't this question be better posted on the S7 / S7 Edge forum?
I was wondering the same.
Edge Notifications Not on VZW Variant?
Is this feature not on the VZW variant? When I first set up my S8+ it was there then completely disappeared. The button is not in the notification shade. I have reordered the buttons and the grid and cannot find it. Also it is not in the settings and or developer options. (I know it wouldn't be in developer options but checked anyway). I run Nova Launcher but I have switched back to stock launcher and still nothing. Went as far as factory reset and still nothing. Any thoughts?
Ask on the s7 thread....

The edge notifications (pill-shaped) are found in Settings -> Edge Screen -> Edge Lighting.
You can choose when they appear (Screen on, off, or both) and select all or specific apps to use the Edge notifications.

Using Tasker to toggle Comfort View and Always-on Display?

I'm trying to make a task that toggles the always on display on and off, based on certain profiles.
I paid for Secure Settings pro because I know for the S7, it gives the necessary options for this.
But with my G6 (7.0, stock, at&t) I'm only seeing a setting that toggles the brighter display for always on display, no actual toggle for always on display.
Is there a plug in or something I'm missing here? Is it under a strange name or something in the list for Secure Settings?
I emailed the developer about this and got no response.
I also tried Autoinput but it does not work well if lock screen is password/fingerprint protected.
Anyone have any ideas?
Are you trying to set the AOD to turn off/on at a specific time of day??
No, that's already in the settings. I want to eventually make a profile that will turn on and off the AOD based on notifications, but for testing purposes I've been using if it's connected to a power source or not.
I would like to toggle the Comfort View at a specific time of day though. But with this I have the same problem, I had to use autoinput which doesn't work well with having a protected lockscreen
On my LG G5 H850, I found the setting to be enable_ext_display_on_lcd_off=1

Android 9 problems with AOD

guys, anyone on Android 9 disappeared AOD? Clearing application cache AOD did not help. I investigated this question and realized that the problem is possible either in power saving mode or in comfort mode. Also, if you enable comfort mode, it is displayed on AOD(everything except the clock changes the color tone) I wanted to know if you had this? still unpleasant when it disappears or changes color.
I can't say for sure but is you have tasker this can be the cause, at least for me, another temp fix that worked is going to aod settings disable it, enable it, enable Bright display and disable it. As for the color shift I can't help you.
