Apps frames (disabled, can't click on them) - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello!
When I go into settings -> display -> app frames to change it on "apps without frames" I can't click on that setting, it's like being locked, clicking on that setting does nothing, nothing changes. It's probably because I was messing with other Icon packs in "Samsung Themes". I deleted them all and set it to default. The problem is I can't still use/change settings where I can set apps with / without frames. Hope you understand what I want to say.
I would show you the picture, but I can't because Im new user. Thanks.

LG G2 Screen Jumping / What Window Transition App?

Hi Guys
Over the last couple of days I've been having problems with my screen jumping a little bit when i either close an app (with the exception of chrome) to return to the home screen or if I'm in the settings and i go back a page (it jumps every time i go pack a page).
If leave the phone in sleep mode for a while, when i unlock it everything works ok for the first 5-10 seconds and then it goes back to jumping if i close an app....etc
I've been doing a bit of googling (is that a word....lol) and there's a few people with the problem but i cant find any fixes.
I'm guessing that it could be that something on the motherboard has overheated but this is just a guess.
If anyone has any ideas then please let me know ?
Also I've found a temporary cure for when it happens when i close an app by installing nova launcher and going into the “look and feel” settings and enabling “slide Up” under the “App Animation” setting.
But does anyone know of an app that will allow me to change the transition effects of windows ?
Thanks guys

you've said that you have nova launcher installed...
nova settings > desktop > scroll effect (premium version offers more transition effects)
also, go to device settings > developer tools > and set animation scales to 0.5 instead of 1
if you don't have developer options under device settings, do the following:
1. open settings menu
2. go in "about phone" submenu
3. there go in "software information" submenu
4. click 7 to 8 times quickly on "build number"
5. developer tools should now be showing just above the "about phone” in settings
DO NOT change anything else there besides that animation scale values
Thanks for the reply
Yes i have nova installed and i have it set on cube but thats just for the home screen.
What i need is an app that will let me change other screens.
For example the screens in settings.
The strange thing is that the screen only seems to jump when im going back (i think its the zoom out effect).
Ive just found an app called xuimod that u think has the oprion i need.
Ill post back if it works
Well guys....
It turns out i can do everything with xuimod so i dont even need to keep nova.
But i dont think this fix is going to last if the jumping gets worse.
So is there any known fix for the jumpy screen ?
Anyone ?
Its like a VERY mild form of whats happening to this guys phone:

Setting to reduce animation lag

There is a hidden setting in Android that allows the user to reduce the animation lag time. For example, if I open an app and the app window cascades opens 0.5 seconds, this setting can be reduced to 0.1 seconds where the cascade pretty much disappears. I've used this setting before but can't remember how to get back to it. Its not a system setting but a hidden one. Anyone know where/how to find it?
Settings>About
Tap continuously until you see, "You're now a developer".
Go back, a new " Developer options" button would be availavle just above About Phone, tap on it.
Navigate down to "Drawings" section and tweak as you please.
Thanks!

Set apps to open link only once without setting as default

Remember with the Note 5, Samsung made the default app behavior so that they removed the "Just Once" button, so that once you let an app open a link, it would be set as default forever (well not exactly forever but you get the point)? And how much it ticked you off that this was totally unlike the default Android behavior?
Well now you can change it, a new option I noticed in the June security patch I received a few weeks ago. Go into Settings -> Applications -> Default Applications and change the "Default App Selection" behavior. And boy does it feel right. Look at the first image to see what I mean, and the second shows you the two options, the first being the (annoying) default behavior.

A40 : how to be visually warned about notifications?

hi everyone,
How to be visually warned about notifications on the Galaxy A40? (notification led? Always on display?)
Is it planned by samsung an update to enable a solution?
thanks,
Download Glimpse Notification from Play Store. Adfree app to Flash screen when notification arrive.
What a bad news.....
Nothing official from Samsung??
This program is cool with 0 memory and battery usage. I use this and perfect.
I have a Xiaomi mi band 2 too, you should buy one for 15 $ if dont like the first option.(glimpse notification)
Led is hardware option, what dont have Galaxy a40.
AOD is software solution, but for this prize Samsung Will not give this feature to a ,,budget'' phone.(Galaxy a40)
Try expandes Settings. Its in a40s Settings - there is an Option to to lighten up the display At notification

Unfortunately this option a piece of garbage. When you use your phone in your hand, this option Will blink the screen with yellow color or blink the Flash lite. If it just work when you dont use your phone this option Will be good.

P.S: Sorry mate, my job is bulls*|t.
2xP.S: After doing all this settings, you gonna have somewhere in background battery optimiser AOE, the only way to get rid of that is to go on Settings > Apps > tap on those 3 dots on the right corner > Special Access > Optimise battery usage > than Enable it for "Always on Edge" (it should disappear) > tap on the drop down menu > and select "All" > look for Always on Edge and disable it.
Oh, and "one more thing" over here
make sure u drag that slider to always:
after that reboot the phone.

After some time you still recommend it? Battery usage is became better or worst?
50% of battery used for have an always on display for 12 its a lot if you haven't use I these hour.
The text move in time to prevent display damage (like in native one?

How do I UNHIDE an app????

I was having trouble with an app (Android Auto) so I disabled it, which I shouldn't have, because it hid the app on my screen. As a result, the app no longer functions with my car.
Can somebody please tell me how to UNHIDE the app? I have watched 20 YouTube videos on how to unhide apps, unfortunately, they all show things that I do not have on my version of Android 10.
Thank you!

Should be pretty simple and standard... I am assuming you are running stock A10 - if not, the names of the options in Settings may be a bit different, but the idea is still the same. Go to Settings -> Apps & notifications -> App Info. Above the app list there is a dropdown - make sure "ALL APPS" is selected, so both enabled and disabled apps are listed. You should see the Android Auto on the list below, marked as "Disabled". Tap on it - it will open the app details, then hit "Enable". That's all.

Thanks, but I did all of that! I see Android Auto on the list, but it is not marked as "Disabled." When I click on it, it appears as Enabled in the app details.
However, that's not the problem. The problem is that the app is hidden from my Home Screen. So, in order for me to access it, I have to go into the Settings, etc., etc.
Is there a way to UNHIDE the app so it appears on my Home Screen? Thanks.
PS: I am running stock Android 10.

This is now normal behavior for android auto, the app is hidden and will only show in your car when you connect to your car (as far as I know there is no way to use it on your phone like the older versions), even if you add a shortcut to homescreen it will only allow access to the settings screen (I assume).
If it's not working with your car, go to settings>apps>android auto>storage> and then clear storage to reset everything. While there check it has all permissions granted.
If you want to use AA on your phone maybe consider sideloading an old version (from a reputable store like F-Droid) which still worked from the handset.
