Please forgive me if this one belongs in a different forum. I have a Tilt and I want to be able to password protect apps at the individual app level. For example, I may want to let someone look up a Google map, but not have access to my FlexMail. Thanks.
Good luck. I have been asking about this for many moons too. I rarely even get a reply of any sort.
hmmmm...well at least he got two replies
'Eye on Privacy' is the way to go! Its one of the best!
I have looked through the whole phone and so did some one else however what I'm wanting to do is the my downloads in market of apps I've paid for that i know I'll never use again. I know i can't refund them thats not what I want just to clear them from my downloads. Also did a search on this forum and came up with nothing.
-Please if it doesn't help the topic don't put your input in about flaming for one reason or another. Thank You.

I second this, too many 1$ apps i'll never use again. itd be nice to clean things up a bit in the my downloads section
i got alot of the ahome themes before i found this site and will never use them again...
When you have a list of applications, press menu, and choose "change view" and check the "Free items only"
Add that to the running list of improvements to the Market... Ability to organize downloads into categories (including archive).
News about this issue is spreading but wanted to post here too to see if anyone had ideas about how to stop this in the time being. It seems a google services update for google search/now caused people to see location services as stopped in the google now window. All GPS/location settings are on when you click on the link it provides to reach the settings.
This part though I haven't seen any reports. My battery history is now showing the phone is awake almost constantly. Betterbatterystats is showing that partial wakelocks for something called NlpWakeLock (googleservices) is running the whole time.
I'm hoping that something will show up either here on xda or productforums on google but advice is much appreciated!
Yes, news certainly is spreading fast. From my 1 minute of browsing post titles in this very subforum I found four other posts on this very issue. This fifth post will just further dilute the available information on this issue (which Google is investigating)

Yep, I apologise, less specific searches worked. I can't post a link but I suggest anyone reading this searches xda for post 2288395 which already has multiple responses.
If this is in the wrong place I apologize. First which devices run live aods? Im very surprised note 8 doesn't have this functionality. Second general gripes about oreo ota. 1) removed app longpress options such as "app info" etc why? 2)buried easily accessible settings through longpressing quicksettings. 3)not oreo but annoying. No dedicated live wp menu. Please add your gripes itt.
I think there is nothing to "gripe", all the complaints that you are presenting can be easily fixed or implemented by means of some app, if you read carefully this entire section, you can find many useful insights about oreo and its changes, in my case, instead of complaining or whinning, I preffer to look for solutions or fixes, but that is my opinion

too bad more people dont feel the same way!:good::good:
<Mod Snip> (profanity) are you talking about not only did oreo remove functionality it literally borked many users phones. Why on earth would you celebrate "finding apps" to work around previous functionalities? <Mod Snip> (Flaming/Rude) Also if you are so keen on fixes than LIST THEM HERE. adress the issues or you're just griping about my gripe. Plus you did not answer the main question. <Mod Snip> (Flaming/Rude)

Fair enough mod. I've been around a while and have never flamed. But I'm really at my wits end. I had a perfectly functioning non rooted device that no longer works properly after 8.0 ota. I have default alert tones, all apps had specific akert tones, ringing with no indication of what they are. Apps will download but not install without a long period of time. Badges are borked. Apps will not open from notification shade. And Ive not found a fix. Ive read even factory reset will not remedy the situation. So if your handset works, great, but it seems like piling on when you get replies like the above. Ive removed Samsung account, removed updates from google apps. Cleared partition cache and nada..

I understand your frustration, trust me. I'm having the same issues coming from the S8+ to the S9+. I also miss some of the features that Oreo seemed to remove. However, please just try not to take that frustration out on other members. If you're not pleased with someone's response, as I said, you can ignore it or if it's really bad, report it and mods will handle it. I hope you find a resolution or you could possibly RMA if needed I suppose.
Good luck!
Thank you for your polite response. Im wondering if I should start a thread if there is an oreo specific forum? Btw does S9 have the live aods?

We have the infinity wallpapers, which kinda adds a live effect to the AOD but not really lol. I think your thread here is ok as is, there might be an Oreo related thread in the guides section for Note 8 but TBH I haven't checked. It's a well known fact that Senior Mods are too lazy to read. :silly:

I only stated that is useless to complain or whine
here in XDA, about all the things you do not like about Oreo or for that matter anything related, nobody here has control or solutions for what samsung implements, or takes away, and, for solutions, YOU are the one who must look for them, I never demand anything from others
So in any regard. If you want animated AOD. Heres what you do. Why if you go to Samsung store and try to dl an animated aod it tells you "your phone is not compatible with animated aod's" is beyond me but whatever.
1) go to AOD, under Lock screen settings
2)choose clock style
3)choose style where you previously or now can choose a static pic
4) choose gif will now be an option and about 20 default gifs will be present. Choose one of those or your own
5)profit

That may be true, but as I said if you go to Samsung store and try to dl an animated aod it will at least tell me "device not supported". But I got a few cool ones from giphy.
So Im copying this here in the hopes it may help somebody. At least re. Oreo's random and unceasing notifications.
I may have found the reason. The new power saving "feature" may be the culprit. It seems to sound an alert every time it sleeps an app not whitelisted. Probably one of the stupidest pieces of coding ever. I caught a notification in the bar of like an ekg line when it happened. But get this it immediately disappears. So if you dont catch it you have now idea why you're being alerted. Go in to maintenance and switch all off or whatever you think is appropriate and it should stop. However the random vibration alerts I can't figure out. Ill get them for apps I dont have them set for but sporadically like instagram. And then on next sms which I have it specifically set not to vibrate. Hope this helps.
Found the following log in my files last night after a period of issues with my phone such as the notifications being reset, various digital wellbeing entries disappearing and some data loss etc despite me quite literally only using this thing for Facebook and YouTube.
Ignoring additional back story (someone else uses my phone regularly, need to know what's been done before I take issue with it), what on earth is going on in this log, and why/how was it even generated in the first place?
I'm autistic so unfortunately I have found myself both unable to drop this or find answers so I figured I'd look here.
If someone could explain if this is normal everyday behaviour for the phone, and if not what would be needed for this to happen (never seen the log before and it's in a folder with thousands of others, most of which are in an "adlg" folder).
To clarify, I did not request the logs nor do I know how to get them to generate so I am completely at a loss here.
Thanks so much!
