blue light filter - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Is there a way or option I have missed to get the blue light filter that was on the note 7. Had no idea how much I would miss it after having to exchange my note7.
Thank you in advance.

I don't think we will have that until we get nougat, I also came from the note 7 and also missing that. I hope when we do get updated we get the new ui

The play store has several apps for this purpose. For example, Twilight: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.lux

Twilight has worked well for me. I do hope they release an update that makes it native (along with other goodies) since we obviously won't be seeing those features in a phone for a while.
Edit: you'll want to spring for the pro version of Twilight if you want to avoid the stupid "screen overlay detected" error in other apps.

Save power and feel better (for people with cases)

Hello guys. As promised, im releasing a closed beta of Killswitch on XDA. Its a utility designed for tablet devices that will give you a more intuitive user experience by sending the device to sleep when certain sensor conditions have been met.
In effect it means that you can put your device into standby by shutting the case or turning the device over if youre already in a dark room.
For more details, check out the thread HERE.
The app thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988126
We accept anyone, but reserve the right to choose based on post count, join date and general XDA experience.
Posted in Galaxy Tab forums because this is where we come from
Bump - we need more testers!
Count me in. This is a great initiative. I have a Galaxy Tab with a Zenus flip portfolio style case.
Please by definition of 'xda-pro' user I hope you are not measuring this based on the amount of spam they spread in these forums, as this could potentially exclude your best testers. It's constructive feedback your after, not persistent noise or complaining, right?

No we are not... but we will be looking through peoples post history because of recent security issues with XDA betas. Its not enough, but we need testers.
In any case, we have tested it on the tab extensively in the last couple of weeks (we have 4 at the office), and there are almost no issues.
Hi. I'd also be happy to test something like this. I have many different cases: one of the ones that covers just the back and sides (so no trigger there), a cheap red leather book type, a white plastic one that forms a shell or a stand, the Samsung leather easel with D30 and the Otterbox Defender.
Thanks for the beta. Here's my feedback. Worked very well. Especially, my screen timeout being 10 minutes (because of e-reader) it seemed like a useful app. Also, it always gives the option of locking or not locking, which is useful. Now, the bad part. Noticed that my tab was unusually warm, battery was draining fast, checked consumption: 13%. Uninstalled. Hope you can fix this.
Hi everyone! A big thanks to all the beta testers! Just to let you know that the app will be avaliable in the android market from around 4PM GMT today.
n2s2k2india - regarding your power consumption issue, we have not experienced this on any of our devices. In fact, Killswitch does not even register on both my Xoom and Galaxy Tab. Looking at the spare parts battery use on both devices its 0.1 to 0.15 of total battery consumption...
by the way, the app is now on the market
Well done on getting this app released. Promise I'm not sour grapes for not being chosen as a beta tester! I've just installed from the market and unfortunately, it's not looking too good so far. So far, I have the following issue.
Both light and proximity sensor is flakey. Light sensor has worked once and not again. Can't get proximity to register. Accelerometer works though.
And just a question, is this app supposed to disable screen shutoff due to inactivity?
I'm using Roto JMIv2 if that helps.

Hello!
Im sorry youre having trouble with Killswich... lets see if we can do something about that!
Please update to the latest version if you havent already.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab does not have a proximity sensor (although the system reports it, this is just a glitch from the Galaxy S phones). This means you should be using the light sensor and the accelerometer. Your settings for the Tab should something be like this:
Enable Killswitch: tick
Admin Permissions: tick
Confirmation time: 10sec
Activation delay: 6sec
No-lock: Disable screen lock
Use proximity: no tick
Use light sensor: tick
Sensitivity: 10%
Use accelerometer: no tick
These are the settings Im using right now and they work perfectly.
The point of the app is also to avoid accidental sleep mode in a dark room through the popup dialog. Do not choose "Use accelerometer" unless you plan on using both light sensor and facedown at the same time. Instead, choose "Enable facedown mode only" if you see the popup dialog while using the tab in a dark room - this will disable the light sensor but enable facedown until you next swich on/ off.
Please dont hesitate to write again, or provide a logcat if the light sensor continues to malfunction.
I recommend to disable light sensor usage in killswitch, if your device provides proximity sensor, for better results.
Could we have a add supported version for free as well. If you need more testing i would be happy to test it on my wildfire

Hello everyone! Could those using the app on their Tabs provide us some feedback regarding its compatibility with roms that are floating about?
Also, Im sorry but we will not be providing an ad-supported version. For one thing, there is nowhere to put the ads without wrecking the general aesthetic, and for another ad support is not economically viable. Android programmers have obscene salaries
Its only $1.99 - if you own an android device you can most certainly afford it.

I just purchased and installed the app on my Sprint Tab with similar results. Accelerometer works great but the light sensor doesn't register. I have adjusted the sensitivity from 10% -> 0% -> 100% with no affect. I even thought that maybe I needed to have the brightness set to auto but that too did not work.
When I tried to move over into direct light (12 inches from a bulb) the sensor worked right away at 10%. As I walked back over to my desk in a dim corner, the device went to sleep again. Once in the dim corner, the sensor could not differentiate between dim and closed case. I'm using the official Samsung case FYI.
I don't know if this helps you any but thought I would post my experiences. For the price I love the app if nothing more than for the Accelerometer and No Lock features. Keep up the good work!
Hi. Please read the help and tips section carefully. Killswitch is not a solution, its a hack. If you want it to work well, you have to understand how it works. Sprint tabs are exactly the same as any euro model, and we have had nothing but positive reviews from everyone with galaxy tabs in europe.
I made this app for myself. I have a gsm tab running overcome and everything works flawlessly.
+1 on the lightsensor problem, working one out of ten times i close the lid....

that's not true is it? i beta tested this app and i couldn't get the light sensor to work either with stock roms or modded one's and I wasn't the only one.
it was very hit and miss and per the feedback provided with logs!
Seems to me the light sensor method just isnt enough on the tab all credit for other devices, but the tab just doesn't work correctly with it.
Never mind, looks like my gt has problems with the light sensor...... I'm using richardtrips kernel with the sensor fix but......

Im not sure where these problems youre having stem from. We have 3 tabs at the office, two stock and one overcome, and they all work flawlessly!

Trackball Alert vs Light Flow

Has anyone seen if either 1 of these apps pulls ahead of the other? Really just looking to see which is the best 1 overall between the 2 since I'm picking up my Nexus in a few.
Light flow is newer but doesn't provide any advantage over Tb alert in the free versions, if only it added support for more 3rd party apps like alarms I would understand...but no!

But isn't Lightflow the only APp for Trackball settings which doesn't need root? I use LightFlow on my Stock N1 and is works perfectly.

Lots of apps have Trackball settings for their own notifications. So you can achieve the same sort of thing without a dedicated Trackball settings app and without rooting. ie Chomp/Hancent for SMS, Gmail alert, Skype etc etc.
Yes, but you cannot define the color in most apps. So having one general app to define everything including color and notification interval is very convenient.

I like choosing color as well as sound notification in ONE PLACE. With TB Alert, you can only pick a color. If you test, it shows the light only. With Light Flow, you have ability to hear a sound file as well as see the color picked light when testing the notification. It's just a bit more convemient to me to have this all in one place.
Doc you amaze me
Don't tell me you tried the hundred thousands apps in the market too apart all the roms that were released on N1?
You should write a book ''All you need to know about a nexus one rooted''
I'm rooted but since it is the stock rom (which is odexed) I cannot run trackball alert, thus I went with light flow.
i use SMS Popup. It's free and doesn't require root. It's specifically for messaging notifications but allows you to set your trackball color and you can specify different colors for different contacts.
I've used both, but staying with Light Flow lite on my current rom. I like all the color & app options as well as the Developer's frequent updates/support.

That's funny
I really was a confirmed iPhone type. All I really was using for the last three years. I knew nada about Android. I basically dove in head first when I decided to go for the N1. Saw it at CES here in Las Vegas and immediately went home and ordered it. Haven't looked back since and nothing out there is good enough to replace it....yet. I figure about Christmas time when Quad Core Honeycomb Tegra stuff becomes passe, it will be time to upgrade. Of course it helps having a son who works for NVIDEA looking out for me WRT up and coming stuff
I do scour the market when I get bored, looking for some neat stuff, but hanging out on XDA is worth its weight in Gold too.
I went with lightflow myself for stock nx1

I will put that in the suggestion book. I have no clue what it will be. I just know that after two years, it WILL be time to update. But it has to be in the same class as the N1, and it has to be considered near the top for development too.
I haven't used TrackBall Alert but I have had Light Flow pro before and after I rooted my N1. I love the app; I have it set for every notification that I will have, all different colors. Great customization and well worth the money.
I've started running a stock/rooted OTA GRI40 and since its not deodexed/patched, I've had to give up my beloved Trackball Alert Pro.. anyways, nobody has commented on battery..?

I don't get any major drainage that I know of; with the recent update to Light Flow, you can now control how long it flashes for each notification; thus enabling things to show for 15 min (up till 34hr/never stop) to keep tthe battery topped.

I've not had any negative comments back from light flow on battery and evaluate every new user request to try and ensure I only add features that will have minimal impact.
When I think of new routines to make things even more efficient I'll go back and rewrite sections like the new v1.4.x has.
Yeah I've been running Light Flow for a couple days now and its not even showing up on my battery stats so I'm confident it is light on the battery

AT&T Note 3 GPS Navigation Issues

First off, the phone I was using before I got the Note 3 was the original AT&T Galaxy Note, so my expectations for the Note 3 were pretty high. When I used the Google Nav app on the OG Note, I really liked how reliable it was and the many options it had like picking routes without tolls for example (my favorite :good. The only gripes I had about the OG Note was that occasionally, it would take over a minute or two to get a GPS signal. But once it did, it worked like a champ!
So now we move on to the Note 3.
The first thing I noticed was that there was no dedicated app for Google Navigation. I looked on the Google Play store and I didn't find it there either. So when I checked Google Map app, I saw that that was the only way I could access the navigation feature. Personally, I'm not a fan of Google deciding to merge to two apps together, but I guess in the long run, it'll make sense over time.
Now, another issue I noticed when I first used the navigation feature was the HUGE lack of options navigation is missing. Like I said previously, the OG Note had a lot of features and options that let you tweak how you wanted to set your routes. But the Note 3's navigation 'options' are almost bare-bones! On the settings tab on the lower left hand side, the options you have are things like Google location settings, distance units, and maps history; So I'm like "what the hell?!" So then, when I set my route, I try to see if the options are imbedded in the GPS map screen when you start to use the GPS nav, but.... there's only 4 options (route preview, step-by-step list, mute voice guidance, and satellite view :crying. What the hell happened to the other options?! Is there some way to get to the other options that I'm not aware of? I really hope so.
Now, as I start to drive to the destination I had set for my route, I notice even MORE issues. First thing I notice to my dismay is that the GPS voice sounds... off (and that's putting it nicely). It just sounds muffled and to me, it seems like the voice doesn't finish the end of the words properly - kind of off putting, IMO. Also, I noticed that when I stopped my vehicle, the little blue triangle that indicates your position on the map tends to move slightly more forward before it completely stops movement. Also, I saw that while at a complete stop, the map starts to go in circles, leading one to believe that the routes changed on the fly (I can see this as a problem if one were to look away from the screen for a bit, and then once you move, the map fixes it's direction again, and that could lead to some confusion while you're trying to momentarily figure out what happened).
So there you have it. That's my experience with the Note 3's newer version of Google Maps. Perhaps It's my phone that's having issues with it's GPS functions. So I'd like to know from others here if they're having similar issues with their navigation.
thats actually google's doing, you'll find that on all new versions of the os
Indeed, like tom said above, this is google's updated version of maps that happened months ago. Consider yourself lucky that you never updated it on your older Note. There's been many complaints about them stripping out features that were once in the older version of maps. In my note 2, I at least had an option to uninstall the update after I tried it out but since our Note 3 came with the newer version preinstalled, there is no older version to revert back to.
Once I feel comfortable with our root options, i'll sideload the old apk back in.
The one thing that is Samsung's issue that you mentioned was the voice. For some reason or another, Samsung stripped out Google's default TTS engine. I really have no idea what the reasoning behind this is, but.. there you have it. You're stuck with Samsung's TTS engine or some other third party one in the market.
Got spoiled with Note 1 and 2. Exchanged my Note 3 after comparing GPS with Tmo and AT&T showroom displays. Replacement is better but not spot on accurate as 1&2.
New one has sloppy home button tho

I used the GPS 3 times today on the Note 3 and had no issues. I actually like the new Google Maps, it seems like more accurate than before.
It has nothing to do with the note. Update your old phones apps and SURPRISEEEE!!! You have the new app. I highly doubt your arrow is spinning if it is restart your phone. Your compass needs to calibrate, move your phone in a figure 8 pattern. You're nitpicking and have no reason to blame the note. HTC Motorola and everyone else has your same "problems". Get over it. You want another route option right after you enter your destination the options are right there. You're not accepting of change. Yea the maps app is new just live with it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
yeah. i like the old google map better, it also ask you what navigation app you want to you. so you can use your favorite navigation app.
i tried the new google map, it' useable, it' not that bad.
if you want to use your favorite navigation app, just install a older version of google map and dont update it.

First thing, the "two apps" were always the same. There were just two launchers. And if you want the old launcher back, the intent is still there. Just create it. Super simple if you're using Nova, just create shortcut->all->maps->navigator.
And yes, going through the "Maps" application is a lot more taps, it's actually pretty silly. They've made it a little better in the most recent version but it's still 3-4 taps, and I've heard navigating to Contacts is worse too but I haven't done that recently.
Google Now still works I guess, as long as it recognizes the destination
You can down grade your maps to the old version. Go in the App info and uninstall update

Hi Guys,
I had the same problem with my phone as well. Found an upgrade to 7.3 and it seems to have fixed the 30 degree offset problem. I tried Waze buy prefer Google maps. 7.3 is available.
Not sure where I found it but I do have the apk file. Would be glad to send it anyone who wants it.
Update: The 30 degree problem has returned. I have tried several GPS programs and all of them that give heading information eventually show the offset of the heading. Phone will be exchanged today as I can't determine if it is hardware or software. Also, the compass continues to be off as well when it receives GPS info.

I really enjoy how my Note 3 navigates. I'm from Omaha and have been using it to get around Kansas City (which I'm really not familiar with) all weekend. The only thing I wish it had is a history so I wouldn't have to keep lookng up my hotel every time I want to return there. Other than that, it's been working flawlessly.

Hey guys
Since I got the Note 3, I've been getting the standard notification sound constantly and whenever I check, there are no notifications at all..This happens a few times every hour, it is driving me nuts. Anyone know what could possibly cause this?
You must have installed a free app that generates ads and it causes these notifications.

Yeah kinda same here. I've quite a few installed, but all very known apps: SwiftKey, Tapatalk, Soundhound, Facbook, Reddit News, Chrome, TuniIn Radio Pro etc etc...all of my installed apps should be very trustworthy
Then could be 1 app which is scheduled to bring sounds? For example when I had note 2, I installed prayers app which used to tell me about prayers time daily with just notification sound. In the beginning I was worried what causing it, then later found out it was that app.

Good Lock pushed to phone

So yesterday the Good Lock app randomly auto pushed to my phone from the Galaxy app store.
Has anyone else had this happen?
It also replaced the system ui. I was able to open the app and uninstall it, but I get a notification about twice a day saying I have an app to update. Every time the notification is for Good Lock.
Is Samsung forcing it on its users now?
Also is anyone using it ? Does it still negatively effect the battery? Does it remove the theme sort from the phone as well?
Thanks!
Happened to me too. I also uninstalled it, couldn't achieve a look that I like. You can disable the notification from the Galaxy Apps settings menu

I like it, it's cool imo. The multitask screen looks better.
Hmmm...
At first, I was angry it auto updated/Installed. It.changed everything I was used to. I HATED it!
Then I played around with it a bit, and I can now see some useful features in it. Mostly the lockscreen widgets and the Routines. I'm not a fan of the notification shortcuts though.
Im going to give it a few days to sink in. If I don't miss the old layouts, then I'll keep it.
Just REALLY wish theyd update the autocorrect though. I had to retype many words in this message!

Still seems strange to just push it on users have not heard them doing that on any other devices so far. Makes me wonder if it will be the stock setup on Android 7.1 for Samsung.

I think I saw on Sammobile that the Nougat ROM being tested for the S7 has it. I'll see if I can find it.

I've used good lock mostly on my s6 and a bit while I used the s7edge as a loaner. I actually think I prefer the grace ux on the note to good lock these days but good lock has a lot of features and is always adding user requested features.

Yeah I tried good lock and it was okay but I couldn't stand the hideous colors in notifications, and it just seemed way too busy. I only used it because I missed KitKat style lock screen music album art, but I found out Samsung music still has an acceptable form of it and I'm satisfied with it.

Took me awhile to figure out how to change colors, buried in the routines menu. And because I use a them already, was even more fun trying to get them to match. I did try it for a few days, but went back to the regular lock screens. Also didn't seem to work real well with AoD.

been using on my 2 phones for months; i prefer the stock Android UI look as well as the ability to "keep" some of my notifications so i can follow up later. the latest version allows you to further customize the colors (not just dragging the polygons from left to right or vice-versa). takes (me a) little effort to get it like i want it, but i can then backup and restore when necessary. --- i'm a keep it simple/basic user so the less stuff, the better (for me).
also, @nuclearrage, what issues were you having with AoD? GoodLock and AoD are working fine on my devices.
