Yeah this is annoying...
This seems to be a known issue, which I believe is due to depreciated/removed shortcut features.
Haven't gone so far as to look up reasons the new shortcut model or widgets can't be used. However, the moderator from the Samsung forum did give us a shed of hope. At the very least, the software team is aware of our wishes and considering granting them. It's not reimplemented yet, but I'm hopeful!
As a new user I am unable to post links, so here is the https url for the samsung form where a moderator mentions it's a known issue, and oreo change log which mentions dropped shortcut features.

Edit: just realized this is a month old. Sorry for bumping. Read the year and dom and though it was still active. Though, on that note, when do most users consider a thread dead on XDA? Didn't see it mentioned in the rules or a quick scroll through the noob guide.
And it didn't work for chrome shortcut either....

I would love to know this as well. I know the S5 did not work that way. I hope this does as I work in a HIPAA complaint business that has to have the phone encrypted. Thats the one thing I do like about the iphone is it comes encrypted therefor the fingerprint reader works with encryption.
I have heard that in Android 5.0 they are going to have encryption on by default.

I have read the same thing. Here is a brief article on it. Well I guess I cannot post links but I am sure a simple Google search will show you the same thing lol. Hope Samsung gets the update to the Note 4 pretty quickly.

Though, encryption will only be on by default on new devices. Hopefully the change in Android 5 will still mean that encryption will be possible with fingerprint security only.

Does settings from video still work? I could manage to encrypt with fingerprint enabled. Could you please post some tutorial? Or is it just because I have Snapdragon? Thanks
Like having a new phone, all the Note5 features with an edge screen. Running smoother than ever, even the screen somehow looks brighter... I really don't want to upgrade now, unless Samsung really create something to tempt me.

I have a question. By any chance do you have your WiFi network set up to use two SSIDs (one for the 2.4Ghz channel and one for the 5Ghz)? If so, are you able to see and connect to the 5Ghz channel? I'm not able to with the new update. It was working fine on 5.1.1, though.
How do we know it's connected to either 2.4ghz or 5ghz? I know old android phones let you choose which but I'm not sure how to do your test on the note edge.

Actually I had this problem in 5.1.1 and after upgrading I don't see it anymore. I am not sure why your device is behaving this way. May be you can try a factory reset. One problem I do have is after every restart I am required to enter password as fingerprint process is not initialized. This is annoying at times. Overall experience is smooth otherwise.
And I flashed supersu 2.71. Works fine so far.
In v6 I could set the individual colors of selected contacts in the People Edge screen by tapping a "+: sign.
I do not see this option anymore. I assume I am looking in the wrong place. Any help?

Not sure if this function still exists in Nougat. Some of the good features were removed, such as all apps on homescreen, including this color option...... Unfortunately.

As the title states! What is happening with the phone I'm using? Lol.
I'm using RR unofficial!
By all accounts it's a 1+1? Haha.
Also I've paid for the XDA premium app which is pretty much useless now!
What happened?
You know you can manually change it in settings
click one the "OnePlus 5". All the OnePlus devices will pop up, and select OnePlus 5.
It's because you restored the app data from a OnePlus One backup. Wipe XDA app data and it should pick up the correct values.
Happened to me too, just change the My Phone options in the settings.

Like others have mentioned, you can manually select OP5 as your device. The latest test build (opt in through Settings) has an updated device lib though and should detect your device. A new updated beta will be out tonight (supporting the op5) for what it's worth.
Let me know if it's not. Feel free to drop by the Labs telegram and ping me. You can check your model number against the device name here at the open source Device Registry.

Aye it's decent enough fella, be nice to select text on the fly though or to share a specific post via its actual line number.
Ways around it though I suppose.
In regards to power consumption, it's not anywhere near the top of my battery hog list so I'm not too worried about that.

Aye, unfortunately sharing by post line would mean we'd have to use some kind of complex anchor system since each person's device (or PC) could show different text depending on the resolution, etc.
As for copying text, we had to get rid of inline long press due to an Android bug. Instead you can long press on a post and select copy text, then copy from the dialog that pops up.

Not that I know. I know that good Lock adds functionality to edge lighting but not that function in particular. Maybe someone else could chime in. On a brighter note I saw in a Samsung forum that Samsung was working on giving the lights around the camera some of those led functions. It didn't come from Samsung officially so who knows. That being said RIP phisical LED!

Well that's normal behavior. The only progress bar you'll see is in the app store itself and if you happen to be using one of the apps being updated it might force close. I'm not sure sure what the question is. Maybe a bit more details in regards to what you're trying to accomplish might help. ?

Hi All
Im experiencing a drop in data connectivity once in a while, be it with browser, fb, ig, youtube etc. BUT my 4G icon is still available and present at the navigation bar with full service reception.
I called my provider if there is any issues on their end but they said all is fine up and running.
Anybody having this issues or isit my baseband faulty or some kind? Snapdragon hardware btw. I have hard reset it by using the buttons but still no use.
Im an avid android geek having 3 4 phone changed in a year but this is by far the most frustrated device yet
Please help do i need to turn off some settings or what not?
Hopefully its just a software glitch or something it would be a hassle to send in for investigation.
Did you try a "Reset network settings"? That would probably be my first step in troubleshooting.

Depending on the keyboard you're using just press + or whatever you do if you're adding a picture and select the AR emoji you want from your album. Is that not working for you?

I can do that but I cannot find in gallery, or anywhere else, the AR emojis. It only seems to work in the stock Messages app as it puts a dedicated button for this purpose in the input box.
