Hello, i have Galaxy S8 not Plus version, on some images in internet i can see bottom panel on S8, did anybody knows how to activate it and what it does? https://imgur.com/a/gbdeD
Its the samsung pay app panel, activate samsung pay and add a credit card on it, it will show (and can be disabled in samsung pay settings)
I think it's smart capture..
1. Activate smart capture in settings>advanced features.
2. Take a screenshot (volume down +power)

On the Galaxy Note II it was possible to mouse over the date in the monthly S-Planner and get a little yellow square that when clicked turned into a post-it note. Does anyone know if that still exists on the Note 3 or if that was taken out on the Verizon Version? I have included a screenshot to show what I am missing.
I've just upgraded from Galaxy S4, and surprisingly I am missing some useful options and settings:
1. Dropbox folder on Gallery - In S4 the Gallery app display every photo folder on dropbox as a separate album (like "Summer vacation 2013" etc). In S5 all of the thousands of photos in my dropbox cloud are merged into a single album, named "Dropbox".
2. Lock Screen - unlike S4, no option to define applications on the button of lock screen for fast loading. Only the camera.
3. Widgets on Lock Screen - unlike S4, no option to insert widgets on lock screen, including option to swipe in lock screen to the right camera) and to the left other widgets).
4. Torch - no option to press volume-up to light the torch
5. Air Gesture - no option to put my hand above the phone when off, to get fast info about clock, messages, battery etc.
And few more problems (not related to the S4 options):
1. Home Screen - I often need to press it TWICE in order for it to work (both when phone is off and on). I'm not talking about the lag. Is it normal?
2. Geo News - in which countries does it works?
I have an official rom, not custom.
Thank you

Simple answer. Certain reviewers on mobile websites (who don't use the S4) complained that the S4 has a lot of features that they deemed unnecessary, so samsung listened to these reviewers and removed them.
But some of these were very useful features. e.g. Widgets on home screen, a very helpful feature, Additional shortcuts like contacts, phone button on the home screen. The camera in S5 click when you press the volume button rather then enable zoom! For zoom you are forced to go thru the screen based zoom Isn't this odd?.
Why would anyone deem these as not helpful. It is high time that someone on Samsung reviews the user experience versus online reviewers (some of them may not be expressing unbiased opinions).
Does anyone know of an application that can mimic the S6 quick launch camera by double tapping home button even when in the lock screen. Is there anyone who is thinking about making a port to the Note 4 of the quick camera of the Galaxy S6. I am sure that the community would be grateful, I know I will be Don't want to buy an S6 just for that feature. There must be a way of porting it. At the moment I am using home2 shortcut but it does not work in lockscreen when the fingerprint scanner is on.
First of all, English is not my primary language, so there might be some spelling/grammar mistakes ahead...
My device:
Samsung galaxy s7 edge (Exynos | SM-G935F)
- Android 6.0.1
- GoodLock UI installed
- Rooted
- Xposed framework installed
- TWRP recovery
Question 1:
Is it possible to only make the edge panel visible when accessing it?
To be more precise: Normally, when opening an edge panel by swiping, the panel shows up with the rest of the screen getting blurred. A settings kog and some text also appears on the screen next to the actual panel. I would like the rest of the screen to stay normal and only see the panel itself, without blur or extras. Is there some mod that allows me to achieve this? Is there an alternative app that i could use to replace Samsung's edge panels?
Question 2:
I'd like to remove two specific icons from my status bar that i just don't want to be there. The icons i'm referring to are the VoLTE icon and the Vibrate/Mute icon. I installed some apps that claim to be able to remove them but they don't seem to work. Disabling VoLTE completely would get rid of that icon, but i want to keep that active.
Thank you for your help and time
I tried typing SmartStay, but it does not display this icon. Does anyone know if this is possible?
