Issue with new September 2016 security update and Clear View cover - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I just got my September 1st Android security update OTA (I'm in the UK).
Right from the start, I noticed that the phone didn't lock/show the Clear View info when I closed the front door of the cover. In fact, the screen just stays on like the cover hasn't been shut at all. Also,, when opening the cover, it doesn't bring the screen on either - so it's completely ignoring the magnet from the looks of things.
Has anyone else got this?

Answering my own thread here:
A second boot showed the "Upgrading apps" screen very briefly, and once booted, seems like everything is back to normal with a fully working clear view cover. So after the upgrade, do another reboot just in case of any weirdness (might apply to more than just the clear view cover issue I had).

Can I ask if you have the VoLTE option on the september security patch?

Er, afraid I don't know what that is. Tell me how to check and I'll take a look.

It's usually in the quick toggles, it says VoLTE as the icon i think.

It's not in my list of quick toggles I'm afraid.

VoLTE is in phone settings, not in quick toggles.
And I think your carrier should support and enable VoLTE to use it. I'm on the August update.

On the efficient rom 3.2 there is no volte even though my carrier supports it, any ideas?

Could you check if it is in phone settings too? I done some googling and apparently some people say on the september patch it has been baked into it.
When i download the wanam csc app, i can see all the csc values for volte to be true but no volte option on the phone app nor quick toggles

Not in settings either for me!

In the phone settings too? By phone settings, I meant the phone app. If it doesn't appear in settings nor the phone app, that means it is baked in the phone itself probably...

Cm10.1 performance settings

Just flashed cm10.1 from cm10 and noticed that the performance tab in settings is no longer there... Am I missing something??? Did it get moved or removed?
Had a hard time finding it as wel after updating, but this worked for me!
Tyler83 said:
Yes, it's integrated as of the last updates. It switches directly by touching the icon and it doesn't bring you to the settings
Quick settings works and you can also change the i/o scheduler, I just did it. If you don't see the performance section under "System Settings" you have to enable it by touching 7 times in a row the "build number", which is the last item in the "Phone Info" settings.

I see this is a month old thread, but it was the first hit on Google but the answer wasn't clear. Performance settings are unlocked the same way as Developer settings. Open settings, scroll down and select About phone, then scroll to the bottom and click on the Build number several times. After clicking it a few times you'll get a message that says you're only a few clicks away from being a developer. Keep clicking.
That worked... Sweet thanks for the tip!!!!

[Tips][5.0.2] Quickly access Wifi and Bluetooth settings

For anyone still don't know, if you want to quickly access Bluetooth or Wifi settings page, just tap on the "label" underneath the Wifi/Bluetooth icons and you will go directly into the settings page.
Just my 2cents
Nice one cheers mate
No **** Sherlock.

Looks like you have a Custom ROM isntalled, not stock one.
Cm11 is maybe Cyanogen Mod 11.

Is there any way to add 2G/3G switch in quick settings pan?

Nope, only 4G on/off
You'd need a framework modification for this, i'd assume.
Anyone know how can we access quickly the other settings?
I really miss that option.
Plus 2g/3g toggle would be nice.
Thanks mate, specially just upgrade from kitkat

Always On Display latest version always on full brithness

I've updated AOD (Always On Display) via Galaxy Apps to version 1.4.02, and since then, most of the time, AOD is at full brightness, even when my device in my pocket, it takes long for the screen to turn off like it should.
I'm not sure if this specific version is buggy or it is something else, but when i'm using my phone, brightness is OK.
Anyone who updated it too can confirm its related to the AOD update?
I'm just afraid of screen burns and battery drain.
I just set a note pad on the top part of my screen to block the sensor and mine dims in 1 minute by my count and goes completely blank a few seconds after that. Try this with yours.

I glad to hear its version related and not my sensor or something like that.
Actually, a lot of people experiencing problems with this version, not only this problem.
I hope they will fix it soon.
By the way, do you know what the previous version was? I would like to search for an APK, maybe i'll uninstall the updates and install the good one.

You can't uninstall I tried it. I can't remember the last version but try download any version lower than the last and don't forget to uncheck auto update

You can uninstall all updates you did
go to settings, app manager, 3 dots, show system apps, find "always on display", 3 dots again, uninstall updates.

Unusual Google search bar widget

Hello folks, I've got a strange visual issue with my Galaxy S8:
Huh, seems like I can't link any images. Sorry if I trasgress the board rules in my first post:
hCATSttp://i.imgur.com/xwKihwe.png
My Google search bar stopped being the Galaxy S8's one. The microphone icon is still in the right but the Google logo is now absent, the space is more bright (I think), the corners aren't rounded, and the text "Say Ok Google" is aligned in the right. Practically, it's in material design with the wrong alignment.
There aren't any other launcher installed, I'm still using TouchWiz/Samsung Experience.
How can I fix this problem?
P.S. The similar threads popup sure is useful (not for my case), every board should have something like this.
This has happened to me as well.
To fix you'll need to go into the Google App Settings --> Widgets --> Turn off "Show Updates"
Hope that helps.

Try to go to Settings > Apps and find Google App, then uninstall the updates thru the three dots.

Official October update Snaprdagon (problem)

So now I can see new October update, I tried to download and install it, but it stuck and I don;t know what I have to do now.
I try reboot smartphone and clean cache, but without success.
Maybe it don't download completely and samsung cancel this update now , because when I push download button it says wait and download paused.
So what I can do now?
I try search this firmware via Frija but the last firmware is G9750ZHU2ASH2/G9750TGY2ASH2/G9750ZCU2ASH2 not October.
This are some screenshots
I believe you should turn your wifi on.

Both of your screenshots showed WiFi turned off.
If the suggestion someone offers you is not solving your problem, you are not expected to be impolite in return. Go learn some manners. You can also google 'MANNERS' - using WiFi is optional in this case.

The first 6 icons at the quick settings window will show up at the minimized qs panel. You can edit the button order by pulling down, then the 3 dot button.

I tryed many variants, cleared cache via recovery, cleared data and cache in update (in program), tryed different wifies (of course I tryed with wifi and with mobile data)
If you think that I just didn't turn on wifi, you're not right, because I updated android many times. You can read about this problem in google. Anyway thanks for try to help.
So I fixed problem, I did backup in smart switch for PC, then I did factory reset, after that I updated my android and then recoveried my data from backup. Now I have working DEX via usb cable

I know, but I don't have a data toggle in my button order when I edit it. I have the AT&T variant of the phone. I was trying to figure out how to get a data toggle to appear.
