Hi,
My Use for all screens stopped working. Anyone experience this or know how to fix it? It's checked in the One-handed operation option.
Thanks.

I haven't been able to get mine to work period. I have disabled and enabled the feature multiple time and I just can't get it to work.....
Use it all the time. Might be an issue with a specific version of the phone or if you have modified it somehow.

I tried when my phone was completely stock. Prior to even changing out the launcher. Humph.... I may have to go talk to verizon.

I have the T-Mobile version and it worked in the beginning, but now I can't get it to work
A shame since I was just getting used to it and how to gesture it on and off.
This seems to be a Samsung issue rather than a carrier fault.
(mine is unlocked and in use on AT&T)
Would it be advisable to contact Samsung directly?
Go to Settings>Device>Accessibility, and check under "Services". Having apps turned on there can break the one-handed function.
I have NiLS for lockscreen notifications, but it seems to run fine even when the service permission is turned off.

Bingo! Thank You barnabydog!
The good news: It worked! I turned off the offending app and I'm back in business!
The bad news: The offending app was Pebble (smartwatch)
A feature that is more useful to me than the one handed mode . . .
So then is this the sad state of affairs? I have to choose between my Mini-screen mode and my smart watch?
How did you know about this barnabydog?
is there another thread that discusses this issue?
Yes, but I was too lazy to search for it.

Anybody use Tasker on they're Moto X Pure? If so what version. Tasker definitely came in handy on my other phone. I just got my Moto X Pure a few days ago. My setup is almost finished. I love it.

I am using tasker but it says data not available try secure settings, which I have. Also I can set a GPS toggle but when trying to use it it does nothing.
Could be an issue with secure settings app. Couldn't tell you since I have chosen not to root for now. My main reason for rooting other phones was to tame the bloat. With the exception of GPS on and off with certain apps, tasker works just fine for the functions I want so secure settings is not a must have.
What tasks do you have running? Sorry I've rooted many phones but I'm a noob to tasker.
I have a variety running such as wifi at home, rotation and custom brightness on or off based off apps, and custom alarms dependent upon calendar entries, day of the week and times. The thing with tasker is that with root and the right third party apps, the things you can do are too numerous to list. Just read up on it and come up with things you want your phone to do. Then read some more so you can set up profiles to do this things. I will admit that if you are new to tasker and do not have programming background, it seems daunting. However, once I got into it was fun and I can't up with new ideas. Once it is setup with the profiles you want, you can sit back as your phone will be automated.

I actually do have some programming background which is what drew me to tasker. I currently have one profile set up for home which automates my wifi on. I was hoping for GPS and data off, at said locatio, but no biggie. I'll keep playing around and create more profiles. I'm just glad it was the app not me that was the problem. One last thing is there an xposed app or some way tasker can set auto brightness? That's the one thing I miss from previous phones.

Make sure that system+ in enabled in the Secure Settings app. gps off/on should work fine, but for data on/off you have to make a task that has about 2 or 3 seperate actions. I can help with that if you'd like, as i have data off/on when i connect/disconnect from wifi. what are you trying to set auto brightness on during? like a time of the day or when you use a certain app?

System plus is enabled and I was able to get auto brightness to work. The GPS on/off says it works yet my location light in the notification bar doesn't turn off. Yes I would love help with the data. Thanks in advance!

So I made a task and called it Data off. you'll want to Add>Net>Test Net. Type=Mobile Data Enabled, Store Result in=%Data. Second action will be Code>Run Shell, command=svc data disable, if=%Data~yes. Third action will b e variable>variable clear, name=%Data.
Next you'll make a task called Data On. First action is Add>Net>Test Net. Type=Mobile Data Enabled, Store Result in=%Data. Second action will be Code>Run Shell, command=svc data enable, if=%Data~No. Third action will b e variable>variable clear, name=%Data.
Now you make a new profile that becomes active with the wifi connected state. set that to trigger the Data off task, and add select data on as your exit task.
This may seem a bit of a roundabout way to do things, but i think since LL, android no longer allows any third party app or plug in to toggle the data. so the way around that is through the shell commands. Hope this helps!
Hi thefallen924, thanks for this walkthrough on mobile data, I have a noob question though, do I need root for it to work? Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem, it seems secure settings can't turn on/off the data. A found a solution using Code -> Run Shell -> Command: svc data enable (or disable) and check the Use Root option.
It works fine that way.

Very nice and simple. I just tried it, confirmed it's working and updated my tasks!! Any backdoor GPS methods?
Fit secure settings to work with data connection you do need root.
Hello ...
I have the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) with Android 6.0.1 from Saturday (NOT rooted ... yet). After a lot of hours searching and setup I have this "problem":
When I press the PowerButton for 2-3 seconds to show the options: Reboot/ShutDown/SafeMode it sounds the Messages notification !! How can I disable this?
Thanks in advance.
I still cannot disable it (without reset the phone)
I wonder if this notification is by default ....???
Thanks

Dunno if you can remove it without root, but you can do it with root. You find system sounds at /system/media/audio/ui. There you should find the sound file regarding power menu, then delete it and reboot and that's it.
@zavag
I try to turn it on to reproduce your problem but In my case, I can not even find out how I can turn it on.
Can you tell me...
How you activated it?
On which build are you?
@Henkate
I think it would be rather embarrassing for Samsung if you can not even personalize a notification tone without major changes to the system.
By the way, even if I do not actually think of TouchWiz. For me it's just ugly and overbloat!
I really don't know how it activated. The phone is new and ... you know ... I was searching a lot of settings in order to setup as I like. I googled it ... I found some infos but it didn't work.
On the other hand I don't want to reset (and most I don't want to root it from now) because I spent a lot of hours to set it up.

Know what you mean! I think if there is really no other way you are at minimum able to backup your settings in almost any app.
Maybe you like to inform about adb based backup solutions like declared here:
https://www.droidwiki.de/wiki/Backup/Ohne_Root
I also found a tool called Ultimate Backup on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844032
If you don't have access to a Linux or at least Windoof computer you can maybe search for how to use adb through androids buit in Linux command shell. Don't know if there is a workaround.
But in my opinion it is already poor from Samsung if one must operate such an effort in order to turn off a notification!

It's related to some accesibility services. Try to disable them in settings!

Hey guys,
So I have this app called Floatify and I love the app, I've used it for a very long time but suddenly I noticed it didn't work anymore, I've installed the app again and again but it just works for 5 minutes and then it stops working.
I've enabled developer options and I've rooted the device, after those actions it didn't work anymore...
Does anyone know how I can make it work again?
Thanks in advance

my bet is it gets killed by the task manager... make it a system app or put it to white list and keep the phone in performance
It doesn't work with oreo
No, I'm not talking about Smart Lock, that doesn't have the option to stay unlocked while connected to a home WiFi that you know is secure. There's a location based one but apparently it isn't always working for me as sometimes I still need to use irises or PIN to unlock my phone at home. Very annoying.
Is there a good Galaxy S8 + compatible app for keeping my phone unlocked when connected to my home WiFi? Thanks!

I'm using an app called delayed lock, and it works great
Tasker just seems complicated. But I know how specific it can get in its functions so I'll take a look into it.
I'll also take a look into delayed lock as well, thanks!
Any other suggestions?
Thx dude
Delayed Lock is not compatible with my AT&T Samsung galaxy s8+
Anyone else have any suggestions?
Bump
Try
App-Lock Fingerprint
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sp.protector.free
Once installed a d setup look at Settings -> Lock Convience
Hey thanks for the reply, do I have to have the whole phone locked by App-lock so that it'll automatically unlock? I currently use my irises to unlock my phone.
Smart lock seems to work perfectly with a Bluetooth device. My Gear 2 watch is on me all the time, so I never see my lock screen unless I reboot the phone.
Use the integrated Smart Lock from google, you will find it under settings, lock screen and security.

Tasker does have a learning curve, however there are plenty of scripts & profiles online to paste in and/or modify. Once it's set up, you can forget about it. I use one to match a google calendar and mute according to a class schedule.

You obviously didn't read my post but thanks anyway. If you look, it only has a location feature, it doesn't specifically have a feature to keep unlocked while connected to a trusted WiFi connection. I'm looking for that feature because the location one doesn't always work. Location is on, settings for it on high, and I'm still having to put in my passcode/use the iris scanner. Not sure why it's not working as intended. I'll post screenshots if I have to though.

I'll probably have to try it out, not sure if I want to shell out the 2.99 for it. Maybe I'll wait till my Google Opinion Rewards gets it for me
I used Hi Locker on my LG G4 for this. I havent tried it yet on the S8, give it a try.
