One-Handed Mode - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hey, does anyone else have a problem with One-handed mode setting turning off automatically (only when not actively in use). It's really annoying when I go to activate it but it doesn't. Anyone have any ideas?

Disable Landscape mode?

I have trouble with the landscape mode activating when i take the Kjam out of the holder to answer a call. The magnets do not seem to hold the case secure enough to prevent the landscape mode from activating. Is there anyway to disable the landscape mode temporary? I use the keyboard very seldom and it would not be a problem to turn it back on if necessary.

[Q] [Request] Strip down car mode

Hey
I was wondering if anyone could strip down car mode so that it only has the feature of voice wakeup. Right now it opens up that driving mode app and restricts you from turning your volume to silent.
I know this is probably a pretty difficult task, but if anyone has spare time and can do it. That would be really nice.
Thanks

"Ok Google" bug on lockscreen? Voice unlock in landscape mode does not work.

"Ok Google" bug on lockscreen? Voice unlock in landscape mode does not work.
I have enabled the option to allow "ok google" to unlock my device when the screen is off and the phone is locked.
This works fine in portrait mode, but if my phone is sitting in a position where the sensor thinks it is in landscape mode, my phone will unlock, the screen will adjust to landscape mode, then voice detection will stop listening and the screen re-locks (and stays on, in a locked state).
Is anyone else able to replicate this?
I am having the exact same issue, seems like it starts listening then when it switches to landscape the voice recognition gets pushed to the back or something, I hear the sound for it ending after the rotation but it wont do anything.

I am experiencing the same issue only I have a few more details to add. When my phone was locked at screen off the screen never even turned on. When I voiced a command to "Open Play Music" nothing happened on the screen, but I manually unlocked the phone and Play Music was open.
When the screen was turned off and unlocked when I said "OK Google" the screen turned on (at the lock screen) and oriented itself in portrait for a second and then rotated back to landscape but never opened the phone or showed the "Listening..." screen
This works as it should when the phone is oriented in Portrait mode.
I am having the same issue...anyone sorted this out yet?
nobody else having this issue?

Just to follow up...
I did a factory reset yesterday and I am still having this issue.
i am having the same results as the first few mentioned
Same here
It is not the 6P though. I'm seeing the same stupid behavior on my Nexus 7 since marshmallow.
i didnt try for the landscape mode but my phone unlocks even when my frnds ask it to unlock!!!! ans at times it wont recognize my voice but it will accept my frnds voice!!!!
I'm also having this issue. Are others able to use "OK Google" with screen off in Portrait Mode, or is it just us unlucky ones?
I can use it in Portrait mode just fine. But, if I put the phone down and it thinks it's in landscape mode, it just hangs there. I really hope this gets fixed soon.
Same here. Do iPhone users have to put up with this moronic attitude to product testing?

help with screen rotation and WiFi

Hey! So I recently purchased an Axon 7 and I am so far really enjoying the device. I have just one problem and its starting to annoy me.
Whenever I am viewing something in landscape mode, and I disable auto rotation because I don't want it to switch back to portrait, it automatically switches me into portrait mode when I turn off auto rotation.
Any idea on how I can fix this? Thanks.
I also have another question regarding the WiFi.
Whenever I unlock my phone and go into an app, eg: YouTube, it shows no internet connection. I go into settings app and I'm getting full bars, but under my network name it says "Connected, no internet".
Message goes away after a few seconds and WiFi starts working again.
any help? Also, the arrows near the WiFi icon are always blinking and everything seems to load slowly as if the WiFi needs to reconnect. I've already checked the advanced settings in WiFi and WiFi is set to always be on during sleep.
thanks

Anyway to add Airplane Mode to 'Rules'?

I'm wondering if there's a hack somewhere to add the Airplane Mode function to available 'Rules' , or if anyone knows about any planned additions?
At the moment, it's limited to:
Turn On Do Not Disturb
Set Phone To Silent
Set Phone To Vibrate
Set Phone To Ring
Adding Airplane Mode would be really helpful.
