Led soft buttons - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

The option for led soft buttons to stay always on seems to be gone on s7. It's a fact that it never worked properly on my other phones but is there a way to enable it on s7 without root?

It's the same on my s7 edge, I no longer have the option. They must have taken the option away in the August or September update. If you need to change the settings for the touch key lights use this app:

Certain carrier versions have this feature and some have it removed, it is removed from the U firmware but is available on the AT&T version.

Smart stay 'eye' icon always present

Hi all,
I would like to ask if any of you have this same thing.
I have tried to disable all of the smart stay / smart scroll feature of the phone, yet I still see the 'eye' icon in notification which indicated that the feature is still on. Is it just me or you guys have the same thing?
I already tried to turn off the phone, remove the battery, turn on again, it still there.
I don't want to hard reset yet, as maybe something else I could do, or maybe it is supposed to always stay there.
Thank you.
I9505.
On this phone the eye icon is always there but since no active - it is still dimmed. no problems all.

Hi,
If you go to settings/my device/smart screen, and uncheck everything,the eye in the notification bar disappears.

Hi, no luck. I try that as soon as you inform me. But it still there. Any other suggestion? May I know you using I9505 or I9500? Perhaps different built?
Thanks

Issue with new September 2016 security update and Clear View cover

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...

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'm experiencing the same problem after update and its killing battery really fast so turn off for now until next update hoping they'll fix it
my screen is not going pure dark on always on display... preview of always on screen theme is good and the backuground is pure dark, but when i lock the screen, it looks little bit grey colored background.
how can i fix it? i'm on new firmware (1.4.02)
mine was different case....when it's on AOD the automatic bright sensor doesn't work.when it's active on dark room AOD was dark & when it's active on bright room AOD was always bright.how can i fix this issue?
And one more thing the new update changelog show now its support clear view case.but it's not working.when i close the cover it doesn't show the picture which i selected on AOD setting.its show only the time like before the update.

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.

Navigation bar edit

Is there any way to change the button layout on the navigation bar on a stock rom? Trying to see if there are alternatives that don't involve root, since I'm debating going back to stock (I really don't use many of the benefits of root access). It seems like the consensus is that there's code hidden already in android for this feature, but it's been disabled.
I'm really only trying to switch the recent apps button with the back button, ever since my samsung days, it's been ingrained in my head

In developer options make sure animation scale on all 3 are at 1x. Then swipe down from top of screen and there should be a settings cog. Press and hold till it spins, this enables system tuner. In there you can change button layout.

I should clarify. The developer preview had the feature, but they took it out when they made the official build. I am on the latest official build currently.

Man, I JUST flashed back to the latest stock and got my stuff set back up. TBH i'm almost getting used to the flip, so if I can't fix this, then it's not the end of the world

Out of curiosity, do you have battery saver on when trying to get system tuner? I couldn't get it to work unless it was off, then afterwards I turned it back on.

Did anyone figure this out? I'm rooted on the latest stock rom.
Doesn't look to be, it's odd if they removed it. I was on january patch and had system tuner enabled and updated to February and is still active.

Remove Lockscreen (Lock screen: None) - not just ads?

Hey everyone. I found this on the forum:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/help/guide-moto-g4-amazon-ad-removal-e4-t3631406
But this only removes ads. How can I remove the lock screen altogether? This used to be an option on other phones. Is it some hidden setting? I am rooted, so I should be able to do whatever. Perhaps an auto-unlock app?
Thanks.
You can set it to lock after 30 minutes and not to lock if you press the power button

The 30 minutes thing is good. I will also be using the Keep Screen On! app.
Is there a way to make sure the phone is unlocked automatically on boot? (just boots to home screen).
