Samsung new update - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion

What are you guys thoughts on samsung navigation bar update?? For me its so inconvience to use and everything it is just seems so bad

The color - eww
Extra feature - that's cool

turned off the option to hide the bar. Was too irritating to use and added nothing to my use.

I missed it i guess - what does it do?

I like it, works better than the ADB edit method.

Waiting for the update on the unlocked model. I use an app to force immersive mode now to utilize the while screen and avoid burn in so this will be a welcome addition.
I don't care about the color of the navigation bar. On the unlocked firmware it seems to be transparent in many situations anyway.

I'll find out after VZW pushes it out.

What happened to the nav bar? Was using an app navbar apps to keep it black all the time. I was using Nova launcher and nav bar is now white with no option to change.

The nav bar should stay black after the update unless you go and change the color, then the black color is lost forever. I still haven't gotten that update but i think android police mentioned this in an article a week or so ago.

For stock users that features will never return
But for rooted users editing settings apk brings back old nav bar

I actually like it

Is this for the unlocked U1 firmware? When this update come out, and how do I determine if it was downloaded and installed on my phone? I had automatic updates enabled, but I would assume that I would have received some notification that it was installed, but I don't recall seeing anything like that.

No.
It hasn't yet.
You can always check About Phone in settings.

Alright, thanks! Was just wondering - I flashed from the AT&T to the XAA U1 firmware and wanted to confirm whether or not I was receiving OTA updates. Although, now that I think about it, I flashed the U1 AQDC firmware and received the AQE3 firmware OTA.
What security patch are you guys on? I'm showing June 1, 2017.

I'm on a 955U1 running the stock unlocked firmware and I'm still on the June 1st security patch. I may end up flashing the T-Mobile firmware since it's been getting updates pretty regularly.

Notification Bar becomes unresponsive

I have a TMo N3 model and my wife has an ATT N3 model. Both of us have an occasional issue where our Notification Bar becomes unresponsive for some reason. We have to restart the phone to get the Notification Bar to respond. Anyone else have this issue or a resolution?

I had that issue, but was caused by thw xblast module of the xposed framework, are you using it, if so, thats it
Crap I am using Wanam module in Xposed. That must be the issue. Thanks.

It won't be Wanam unless you have centred your clock?
It'll be a mod via Xposed FW, lot of people have Wanam cause of the Official status including myself, and never no issues with notification bar.
I didn't mess with my clock at all. I did hide NFC, Two Line Date, and Custom Carrier though.

Probably because you have hidden NFC (incidently my NFC doesn't show up at all even when on) and changed carrier stuff. try disabling them and see if that is the issue.

It looks like it might have been the hidden NFC icon. I resorted that back and haven't had the Notification Bar freeze ever since. Thanks for your help tracking it down.

Sorry, I saw now that I said quick settings instead of notification panel but I corrected it,
I don't have the notification either, although I still have the popup after taking the screenshot. I'm using C02B329. I think this might have been removed in Nougat. I'm speaking under correction, but I'm pretty sure I read about it somewhere. ?

I am also using the same version (C185B360) and I can confirm this. I also got the update via official OTA a few days ago. But I don't think it is a big issue.
I also don't have 'App Twin' feature in settings and notification panel is black (not transparent).
I heard somewhere in the forum that b360 is beta and beta version won't get update. Are we using the beta version or?

At least you get a popup to show that a screenshot was captured, I have to check in the gallery to see if the screenshot was taken, cause if you use your phone in silentmode there is no way to be sure it was taken if you can't hear the screenshot sound

Quick question: have you by any chance changed your animation settings in Developer options? I haven't tested it on Nougat, but with marshmallow, I set my animation duration to off, and the pop-up stopped showing. Turning that back to 0,5x got it back again.
Hopefully that's the case for you, if not, then it's definitely a bug in the firmware.

New software update(AQG2) for US unlocked S8

AQG2 update just arrived on my unlocked us model G950U1. Installation went smooth and July security patch is present.
LOL. Of course. Just yesterday I flashed the T-Mo software on my 955U1 because I was tired if being a software version behind.
What are the changes? Does it introduce the hide navbar option?

I got it installed. Gone is the Blue color I was using in the Nav Bar. Not really liking the selection. Ended up going with the 2nd color (an off-white).
What a joke Samsung is with these updates. They give T-Mobile an update first with the S7 and S8 before the unlocked device. Now, my phone its stuck in a possible boot loop while trying to update it.
Yeah update went smooth, not digging the fact they turned all the nav bar colors to different whites but my black theme keeps it black so w/e, the hide option is there and everything seems a bit snappier now.

Yes, you can hide the nav bar, but I turned it off completely - don't like the dot in the lower left. Other than that I personally didn't see anything else.

After the update was installed, it felt snappier, but after some short time it started to feel the same.

So it turns out some apps kept the black theme and some did not, however I did the adb commands in the post down a ways about changing the nav bar color and that seems to have worked well.
One odd thing I have noticed is that sound in games does not seem to be able to be turned down all of the way now, is anyone else having this issue? Like there is always some sound even after I turn it down completely. (Or a white noise sound if you mute the app.)

Thanks for the tip, I hadn't realized there was a way to do it with adb. This article gives all the information necessary to make the change. At an adb shell I ran
Code:
settings put global navigationbar_color -16777216
and now I have a nice black navigation bar.

Not sure why, but when doing a black nav bar, the white icons aren't a pure white...but a bit white-gray.
I ended up using a blue color -8922375

Official Android 9.0

Here is the ota : https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Es ist da !!!
Just got the OTA on a Verizon Pixel 2 and it's 1139 MB. Yikes, dl now.
Updated just now via OTA. I don't feel it's polished yet, still some things left not taken care of. E.g. Spacing of the icons in the dock is unbelievable and the clock icon is pixelated. Probably more.
can not enable wind mode help me

I'm not seeing that but I might not know exactly what you're talking about. Can you explain a little further?
Spacing between the icons and the Google search widget in the Pixel launcher dock is too big and illogical. Also, when tapping on the widget and then opening an app from those suggestions, the animation is not the new one, rather the one from Oreo and previous versions. Share animation is still inconsistent and swiping through apps via the nav bar pill is sometimes skipping animation.
I think Google didn't really know what to change so they forced this P update and it's not polished. I know some of this is nitpicking, but they're worlds biggest software company and these things shouldn't happen.

I'm not getting the OTA I opted into the Beta when the DP5 released but I factory reset my device after it installed do i have to manually flash it or opt out of the Beta?

I'm pretty sure I saw an OTA for DP5 - final from someone. I'd wait a little bit until it all shakes out.
edit: yeah it looks like dp5 to final is only like 45 MB or so. Might just want to wait. This is from the 2 XL forum though.

That's pretty cool. I'll try it for a while. Does that get rid of the "clear all" apps tab? Still not seeing Wind down mode anywhere. Any help with that one?
edit: Looks like Wind mode and grayscale is not yet available.
two button navigation, it's an option in Settings. Someone beat me to it ?
Trying to flash the factory image, I get an error of it not being able to find system.img for some reason.
Don't know is it a fearure or a bug
But the brightness slider is acting weirdly
From 0 to 80% it is dim and from 80 to 100% it brighten up the screen
Does anyone else facing this issue ?

Any way to keep notifications on lockscreen?

Hi everyone!
So, I recently got a Mi 9T.
I really like the device itself, but not having used MIUI in a few years, there's something that is really making me angry, to the point where I'm considering sending the device back and getting a refund: the way notifications are handled on the lock screen.
Basically, the problem is this: when you recieve a new notification, it only shows on the lockscreen ONE TIME. After that, if you turn the screen off and back on again, even if you didn't dismiss the notificaiton it disappears from the lockscreen. You have to unlock the phone and open the notification shade to read the pending notifications.
This is not how stock Android behaves, and is very annoying because I keep forgetting I have unanswered emails/messages/etc, since I don't see them "at a glance" when I turn on the screen without unlocking the device.
Is there any way to fix this?
If there isn't, does anyone know of any alternative solution? Maybe a third party app? At least a way to see that there are active notifications, maybe via an icon in the statusbar or something?
Ok, after some searching I've found that this Xposed module should have this feature: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-customiuizer-customize-miui-rom-t3910732
Now all we need is a way to root the device so we can install Xposed/EdXposed. Has anyone tested magisk/root yet?
On my previous mobiles, I've been using a combo nova/missedit
Nova folder, transparent icon with links to phone, messages, WhatsApp,WeChat, slack... Inside, with badges active. Any notification is shown only when present. Touch, open folder, touch open app. Fast and nice.
Missed it can be configured to show anything you want
But both are not working properly with t9. Bought Wednesday, not much testing still, but some annoyances found, like that.
Lock screen is just detected, I didn't noticed it until now. But may be dangerous.
And also, notification led (I love those things) does nothing but charge... And noled app doesn't works

LED is working for me with notifications (tested with WhatsApp).
Thanks for your suggestions, but from what I read it seems that those apps are for missed notification badges? I'm talking about notifications on lockscreen, that disappear after they've been shown once.
But the mod I've linked above seems to have the solution, just need to find a root method (there's a TWRP available, but not official, don't know if Magisk works on it or not, will test this weekend if I can).

thanks btw
ok, i understand your problem.
but for me is also logic to not keep same notification on lock screen always, even after you unlock and lock phone back.
there are up in notification bar, icons, or badges on icons in home screen, and they saty until you dismiss them from notification bar.

Different people use their phone differently.
Personally, I use notifications as reminders. For example: if I get an email that I can't reply to immediately I do not dismiss the notification, so when I turn on the display, maybe even hours later, I immediately see the notification and I am reminded to reply.
Note also that this is how notifications work in stock android, so MIUI should at least give the option imho.
yes i understand you. but this is not stock android.
and if you dont dismiss notification in notification panel, when you swipe down, this notification icon will remain there until you dismiss her. so lets say, this morning i receive email, and it was on my lock screen. i unlock phone, and use what i wanted, but didnt watch email. in notification bar i have icon that there is email, and on app icon i have notification number. so this notifications number and icon in notification bar will stay all the time i dismiss notification when i pull down notification panel. i hope you understand. so if you watch on app icon of email you will know you have email as there is notification number, and up in bar you will have also notification that you have message. It is that what you said notification shade.
dont be upset, just say that it is not exactly true that after unlock you lose remainder that you receive email or message.

Customiuizer does it.

For those who got the update, did Xiaomi fix their 'feature' in MIUI 12?
