Samsung new update

What are you guys thoughts on samsung navigation bar update?? For me its so inconvience to use and everything it is just seems so bad

The color - eww
Extra feature - that's cool

turned off the option to hide the bar. Was too irritating to use and added nothing to my use.

I missed it i guess - what does it do?

I like it, works better than the ADB edit method.

Waiting for the update on the unlocked model. I use an app to force immersive mode now to utilize the while screen and avoid burn in so this will be a welcome addition.
I don't care about the color of the navigation bar. On the unlocked firmware it seems to be transparent in many situations anyway.

I'll find out after VZW pushes it out.

What happened to the nav bar? Was using an app navbar apps to keep it black all the time. I was using Nova launcher and nav bar is now white with no option to change.

The nav bar should stay black after the update unless you go and change the color, then the black color is lost forever. I still haven't gotten that update but i think android police mentioned this in an article a week or so ago.

For stock users that features will never return
But for rooted users editing settings apk brings back old nav bar

I actually like it

Is this for the unlocked U1 firmware? When this update come out, and how do I determine if it was downloaded and installed on my phone? I had automatic updates enabled, but I would assume that I would have received some notification that it was installed, but I don't recall seeing anything like that.

No.
It hasn't yet.
You can always check About Phone in settings.

Alright, thanks! Was just wondering - I flashed from the AT&T to the XAA U1 firmware and wanted to confirm whether or not I was receiving OTA updates. Although, now that I think about it, I flashed the U1 AQDC firmware and received the AQE3 firmware OTA.
What security patch are you guys on? I'm showing June 1, 2017.

I'm on a 955U1 running the stock unlocked firmware and I'm still on the June 1st security patch. I may end up flashing the T-Mobile firmware since it's been getting updates pretty regularly.

Did we lose transparent lockscreen notifications?

I don't see the option available under lockscreen and security.

If you google it you see a reference to a dec 2016 nougat release about it.. we just hot our s7 edges recently, and I wasn't sure if a later update removed the option.

Crude animation

Hi all,
I updated my Nokia 6 (2017) to Oreo, but after doing that the animations became crude. I still had haptic feedback but everything else looked as if the phone was running on battery saver. For example, when a YouTube video is loading, I see the 5 dots, not the usual rotating string thingy. The display doesn't change (the notification bar is not orange). I would be very grateful if someone could please tell me how to reverse this.
Yours sincerely,
Emmessy Squire

Make a hard reset after every major update, this will solve your problem
Remember major os upgrade not just security patch
Like 7.0 to 7.1.1
Then 7.1.2
8.0.0
8.1.0
Next will be
9.0.0 next year

In developer options, there are 3 animation speed settings. Make sure these are around 0.5 or 1.0x speed

Oreo is officially here for vzw moto z / force!

Months and MONTHS of waiting...
She's finally here on June 21, 2018!!
Build OCLS27.76-69-4
Oreo!!!!! 8.0!!!!!
Download was 1600mb roughly, took about 30 mins from DL to installed.
Icons look better, taskbar feels better and looks better, has better usability, added functions...
That's about as far as I got with it so far. Downloaded for about 15 mins now. The settings menu has improved too, luckily.
Otherwise, I'm sure there's more. Let me know if you find any extra features for your Z!

Still working through looking at everything.
I don't like the new commend center widget...

Anyone having any issues with the update?

So far I haven't had any issues. Update popped for me on the 19th. I love it. Everything feels snappier. Battery life seems to have improved (though it was great before) the notification UI takes a little getting used to and there some persistent notifications that I can't seem to get rid of and while that's a little annoying ultimately it's not bad by any means. Has anyone else noticed how in developer options there's a slider option for unlocking bootloader? I don't remember that being in 7.1.1

•System UI Tuner Settings don't allow level 1-5 notifications
•Hiding the clock in the status bar also hides in in the notifications pulldown
•Less Moto options
• These notifications settings make NO sense. I don't want your persistent info in my face!
Screw any updates this brought me, I want my nougat back.
SMH, call this an update?
The "dots" are nice but why so lazy to call them dots? This is billions of people who get these.

I hate the blinding white screens in the UI accessing settings.

Is Wi-Fi problem solve with oreo update..?

Ocls27.76-69-4

Thankfully, Android 8.0 (Oreo) supports themes without root!
I just followed the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76687469&postcount=4
Which ends up directing you to these instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/substratum/andromeda-desktop-clients-release-notes-t3668682
I attached a screenshot for evidence, lol.

Disable Pie OTA Notification?

Is there Any way to disable the Essential Android Pie 9.0 Update notification? I really do not wish to update at this time and it's annoying. I would like to still see other notifications, though.
Thanks,
Rick

Never mind. I figured it out myself.

How?

When the notification comes up. touch and hold, it will offer you the ability to kill the notification for system updates.
