Help - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

I am getting really annoyed with the second unlock screen. I unlock using fingerprints, then comes up to a lock screen that you push unlock and has a ad and battery level. How do I get rid of this?!

You're going to have to figure out which app you installed that adds the 2nd lock and ads. I've seen others talk about it on here, but I can't remember which app was the culprit.

Do you have ES file explorer installed? If so, uninstall. They are becoming very shady since the new owner.

Do you lock your S4?

I would like to use the icons on my phones lock screen but I don't like the idea of someone having access to my phones data if I were to lose it or have it stolen. How many of you lock your phone using the lock screen? Use something else? Or let it run unprotected?
I don't put a password lock or anything on mine, but I keep an extra battery on me so i never have to plug it in and leave it somewhere and I therefore always have it on me.

Same here.
I had to sacrifice the lock screen widgets because I have to have a pin lock.

Yeah you need to have a custom room or xposed mod to get the setting back.

Dang, seriously? I guess I'm so used to rooted phones that I didn't realize that wasn't just a general setting. We need root bad.

For SMS/MMS, I installed Textra and turned off the native messaging app. Textra allows you to not wake up the screen in settings. Not exactly a fix, but I'm liking the app so far.

Apps that do not work with Kit Kat

The Chase Mobile app no longer gives you the option to deposit checks.

Hmm, mine works just fine. Deposited two checks today that I got from Christmas cards.
I'm rooted with 4.4 on my MAXX.

Not sure what's going on then. I will uninstall and install and try again.
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
Uninstalled and reinstalled, still no option to deposit. The only options are account balances and pay bills.

Anyone notice daydream isn't working properly on kitkat? Not sure if it's just me. My day dream just flickers the screen. I tried to do a screen capture, but the screen capture doesn't show the flicker

that was happening to me to, then all the sudden its working fine again. maybe it was turning the daydream feature on and off a bunch, but whatever I did fixed it.

I tried turning it off and on a bunch of times, and now it still does the same flickering, but now when I touch the screen, it says "day dream have stopped responding". Before it would just exit daydream mode. Now it crashes

Video is hit or miss for me when I record it. It seems overexposed and kind of has trails on motion.

So apparently holding down the recent apps button opens the menu feature in apps. So now that I have that function my Chase app has the ability to deposit checks again.

Just found the solution - if you are using a tablet hold the recent window button down and the menu pops up:fingers-crossed:

Screen Off app that doesn't ask for pass code?

I keep my s7 edge unlocked with my Gear S2 watch, but all the Screen Off apps activate pass code sign in when turning the screen back on. Is this a Marshmallow limitation? Thanks.

Id say no to that, as it was the last update to our phones that activated this problem, it wasn't there before!

I have this and is OK. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro
Just check the box with Marshmallow and Lollipop in app's settings.

This one works with gestures on Nova and does not require passcode after using it (the screen goes black and there is a 4 second delay to actually lock the screen):

I thought it worked, but it just puts the screen to sleep while the phone is still active underneath and won't actually turn off the phone

The screen turn off and the phone will lock n sleep after about 4s. It won't stay awake. You actually don't have any other choice except if u wanna use the power button or root. This is a marshmallow security feature.

Nova with root works great[emoji4] no pin, passcode or password is needed. Just only fingerprint [emoji4]

How do you unlock with just fingerprint?

I have messed around the settings a ton and I just can't seem to find the option if there even is one. I want to just unlock the phone by placing my finger on the scanner. Is there also any way to diable turning the screen on with the always on home button?
Mine unlocks with finger print.. no buttons just finger the scanner from the always on screen
