Visible background on top nav bar? Update bug? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I just noticed that I now have a visible background on the top nav bar against my black background. This seems to only be happening on the home screen. This does not happen on the lock screen. I've never seen this before.

I don't have that. Maybe reload your wallpaper?

Knock on feature

Would there be any way to restrict the knock on feature just to top part of the screen, in the status bar. Or possibly just make the lg logo do this as mine can sometimes go off in my pocket and be a bit sensitive sometimes. ? Thanks

Alarm on lockscreen

I have enabled the alarm clock and set it to show on my lock screen when I wake up the device (always on display turned off), but nothing shows up there besides some notifications. I have Google now as launcher, don't think that matters. Anyone with the same issue?

Samsung S8 Notification Bar Issue

My notification bar is always dropping down (sometimes intermittently) when I am using the Samsung S8 without me having to pull it down or receiving notifications. It is becoming quite annoying because every few seconds I have to drag it back up so that I am able to use the phone. Has someone else encountered the same issue?
Regards,
Press on the little white dot far left, it makes it stay uo.

It kept the bar visible or let it slide down.

Go to setting, search for navigation bar. The top item says show and hide item. That toggles the dot on and off.

That dot from the far left it is for the navigation bar. I was referring to the notification bar, the one at the top of the screen. Also every now and then the apps edge blinks intermittently and it coincides with the notification bar drop.

Did you enable fingerprint gesture to pull down notification shade? Settings>advanced features and then see under "finger sensor gestures"

No, I didn't. The settings are the factory ones.
Are you using a screen protector?

Yes I do, but the issues started before adding the screen protector. I took it down and still it persists
The problem was solved. If you ask me what caused the issue I have no ideea. All I can do is describe the exact steps I took.
1. I took of the screen protector just in case it was causing the issue
2. I restored the phone to factory settings
3. After that I didn't install any apps and didn't intstall any backups, no passwords, no face recognition, no pin, I omited all of the steps.
It seemed to have worked flawlessly I have no idea why and what was actually casing the issue with the notification bar. One day has passed so far and no notification bar issue so far.
I hope it's gonna stay this way

Screen burn in

So, i found out that i had a screen burn today on my S8. Currently the places are the navigation bar at the bottom, Google Icon in GBoard and the chat input bar on WhatsApp. Does anyone have or had the same issues?
Get it repaired under warranty!
And yes, more people had this issue. It's also one reason why we can't select dark colours anymore for the nav bar.

Folder colour

Is there a way of changing the background colour of folders on the home screen? I could do it in my S8, but just for an S10+ and I can't see how to do it.
Tap at the rounding at the right upper corner in the folder.
