Galaxy S7 Edge icon alignment problem - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Here's a friend of mine who is facing this weird problem on his S7 Edge. The icons of calender and clock looks slightly shifted upwards while rest are all okay.
I tried searching for the solution on xda but couldn't find any. So I created this.
Anyone knows?
Thanks

wow havent seen that before, have you tried resetting the font to original and see if it fixes it?

Yes he has, no change seen
Even resetting the grid back to 4x4 didn't help

Got the same issue here. Has anyone found the reason why?

[Q] Fullscreen reading in Mantano Ebook Reader

Hi all,
Finally got around to rooting my NSTG (fw 1.2.1) with NookManager and am using Mantano Ebook Reader Premium 2.2.12.
I can't seem to get rid of the status bar while reading. I've checked fullscreen reading in options, tried installing previous versions but all to no avail. Odd thing is I managed to hide it once, was quite happy, but once I restarted my NST it came back again.
I can get the status bar to hide in Aldiko (I prefer Mantano), Launcher7, ReLaunch... This is driving me nuts.
Anyone else come across this? Anyone have fullscreen reading working? Any advice/ideas gratefully accepted.
Cheers
Sorted!
Anyone looking to do the same:
Need to install Mantano 2.2.3 and enable 'fullscreen reading' to hide NST status bar and get true fullscreen reading.
In 2.2.4+ Mantano's fullscreen reading will not hide NST status bar. How this is fullscreen reading, I don't know...
I'm having the exact same problem. Unfortunately I can't find that particular version. Would you be so nice to guide me towards it?
Thanks for the solution anyway.

I tried to send you a P.M. last night, but I feel it may have fizzled. I know it has been a long time, but I wonder if anyone still has this. I have been a long time user of Mantano premium (I did buy it), but I just received an NST and would like to use it as my primary reading device. Does anyone have a copy of this they would be willing to send me? I have searched the Internet as well as my backups. They are all too new.
Sincerely,
Leko

Had a look around for you too. Earliest I could get was 2.3.2.
As you paid for it have you simply tried emailing the developer for a copy of the version explaining your circumstances.
Thanks. Great idea. I will try that. I found version 2.2.5 which works, but does not run in full screen.
~Leko
Go forth and work toward your salvation with diligence.
If anyone is still looking for 2.2.3, PM me.

Same here. It works for the first 2 days. But now it just doesn't and later it crashes.
You may try to change date&time settings to yesterday .. It works with my device ..
glad to know i'm not the only one facing this problem... meanwhile, any good keyboard with handwriting recognition to use as alternative?
also, to add some details, when i switch to Chinese language, the input does scroll to right when i am writing towards the end of screen, then when u scroll back, , or in english input try wrinte some words then press the backspace button, u will notice a character cursor stuck at the far left of the screen. Try move that cursor and your keyboard will crash again

you're right, I just changed my date to 28th sept, and it worked, thanks a lot :highfive:
additional update: changing the date, use the handwriting, and change the date back to today and it seems working fine again. thanks indeed for the discovery, if TS can just update the first post with this solution it would be great
Wow, thanks...
I thought, i had to reset my Note 3...
Great workaround :laugh:
thank you works great, can't believe i reset my phone yesterday, should have come here first
But its a temporary fix. after close apps and re-launch apps, the problem comes back. any solution?
I try suft and anything will get back here...
Thks anyway.
should we wait for first update?
Same problem
I was very glad to get my Note 3 last Friday (one of the first in the Netherlands). But this morning, during a short demonstration for my collegues on "how great the Note 3 and Android is", I had the same problem as you. This is my first Samsung and Android device, how long does patching take?
For the S4 the first update came within a month.

The fix helps but very temporarily. Also, when you have more than one input language selected, the first hand written word is recognised ok, but the rest is changed into rubbish. I'll skip using hand written text input for now, until it has been solved. Swyping is faster anyway.

Has anyone tried the alternate note input method which gets activated by hovering the s pen over the input area and then selecting the small black pencil icon ?
This seems to still work.

Can you please guide how to change the width of the text written by Spen....its very sharp and i want somewat bigger...i hope u got my problem
Here's my take.. My phone is N9005 bought from the Philippines last Sept. 28.
This problem occurred but is isolated to handwriting-to-text, not particular to the handwriting recognition in general because it still works on all the applications from the NOTE 3 only the handwriting-to-text is not working and always crash when you move the cursor from the leftmost side to anywhere in the keyboard pad (where you 'write' the words that will be converted to text).
Changing the Date to Sept. 27, Sept. 28 or Sept 29 works.. the handwriting-to-text works 100% (even after restarting my device) but when you change the date to Sept. 30 THEN restart your device it will not work.
So basically manually changing your date in your device back to Sept. 27-29 THEN change back the date to Sept. 30 (or whatever date is today) will WORK, but it will STOP working when you RESTART or POWEROFF your device. I tried OCT. 1 as well and its not working.
Just use this workaround if you are using this feature.. I don't use this feature but it bugs me when my gadget has a flaw or is defective..
I guess we need an official patch / fix for this problem.

I'm noticing that in most applications when I bring up the Google keyboard, it covers up at least half of the typing area and also any send button that maybe in the application but not on the keyboard itself. Does anybody know how I may be able to fix this? I'm finding typing in this ROM very difficult. Mistakes are coming up that I swear have never happened in any other rom work keyboard I've used. Is this possibly a scaling issue? Thanks for any help someone may be able to offer.

I had to double check some stuff and what i found seemed to confirm what I have read around here. I dont have the Sprint variant but there are quite a few people that seem to have your same problem on the ls980 after leaving stock. From what i gather the most used method is to flash all the way back to stock and get a gps lock. copy your gps.conf file to your pc and then copy that over after you flash your custom rom.
It doesnt seem to be a guarantee a fix either but has worked for some people.

Mixed Answer. Most AOSP roms *unless drastically changed* will have terrible scaling on devices with our screen. its because at 480 dpi everything gets stretched out and thats why some menus and items will seem out of place on install. Now some keyboards are better than others. i find the recent google keyboard *not in the playstore* works great but I also scale my device to either 440 dpi or 420 dpi and that seems to be a perfect fit.

this was changed i realized but...On DSB and other newer features coming down to LS Rev3nt3ch doesnt really have much say in if these features get added. He is simply building what the LS devs add and then push those for our device. To put it simply...any new 'features' will have to be added by the LS devs first..

Changing wallpaper problem

I have a Verizion Samsung Galaxy Note 3 using Nova Launcher, not rooted. A long while ago I downloade Muzei app to have my wallpaper change every hour it worked great used it for a couple months I run into a batter drain issue I delete Muzei and a bunch of other apps the batter drain issues is fixed or manageable for now. However my background still changes all on its own Muzei is not installed I try to find any info on and I find nothing so I re download the app run it then delete it however this time I cleared the data and cache. The problem still persists my background keeps changing. I do not want to do a factory reset. Is there anyone who can help with out having to do a factory restore and having to back up and all that is a royal pain on an Android device. Thank you for your helps I apologize for any errors or typos I typed this up on my note 3.
Hi,
I'm thinking a factory reset, or possibly even reflashing firmware may need to happen to fix it then.... But for other ideas, I'll have your thread moved to your device section.
Good luck!

Settings appearance

If you have a AT&T S7 you know that the settings app looks different Vs. a Verizon S7. and so my question is, is there a way to make the settings look like a list , instead of the different categories? (my device isn't in easy mode)
I don't think there is. Wish there was. Not sure why AT&T is the only one that did this...
U firmware is list settings also
Is there anyway to grab the settings app or framework from the U firmware and flash it to the A firmware. I ran the U firmware for a while but got tired of not have VOLTE.

Works amazingly, and the settings are in list form instead of the groups! also no bloatware, lag, or heat. I would recomend anyone with the AT&T S7 do it.

I found this "I got Enhanced LTE and Video Calling to work on rooted U FW.
I haven't tested it yet, but to do it: edit the others.xml in System/csc. Scroll to the bottom of the xml and change volte and video calling to TRUE. Save and then reboot. The options will be in settings and the video calling icon will be in the dialer. "
I read a post in the Verizon forum using something similar and figured I'd give it a try. Credit goes to them.
