Not sure is the stock camera app is supposed to look like this or not? Mine has these 4 buttons on the top left corner. Is there any way to remove these because they are kinda in the way?

go to settings >accessibility > Services and turn off Switch Access.
if its not that, you have some app that is enabling that setting. Something like Google Screenwise, etc.

Yup that's it! Stupid app. Is this a glitch because I don't ever recall this being an issue before?
Did samsung make the split screen not resizable?
Before when I used multi window, I could resize the windows, switch their positions etc. But when I use it now, the screen splits into two and that's it. All the other features are taken away.
Is anyone else experiencing this or am I having a bug?
Works fine for me. Minimize the toolbar by tapping anywhere in one of the multi windows, then drag the circle up or down to resize.
Any way to switch it off?

It ain't there man. I tap inside the window, it gets selected as I see the blue square around it, but that circle that u drag to resize, alongside other controls are all missing.
I can't do anything but having two similar sized windows side by side.

Which variant do you have or maybe it's the ROM if not on stock? Here's what my N920T looks like.
Thanks for taking the time my man.
Thats what mine used to look like too up to about a week ago. Mine is N9208 stock. Not even rooted.
It would be strange if samsung decided to disable controls only for this model.
Mine is looking like this now

920i - no such issue, every control is still there
Have you used that package disabler app to disable any bloat? With me, it was disabling the flashbar service which caused this issue for me until I pinpointed it.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has found a way to get full immersive mode.
I know you can hide the navbar but I'd love to hide the status bar as well and make it so that apps go around the camera hole.
I don't want to hide the hole but want to put the whole screen up so that I don't see in every app the time and all the status bar icons. Thanks a lot!
I want that too, but apparently no app is able to do that on my Galaxy S10. Hope to see that feature available soon!
Good lock with quick star... but I can't hide galaxy watch bluetooth icon...

I wanted to hide the status bar, to shift the whole screen up, not just hide the icons ☺ however I did download some cool goodlock things thanks for reminding me that goodlofk is still a thing
Nova Prime can do itView attachment 4724540

Does it work with apps as well? I guess this is not that doable since I'd be probably missing some buttons that are over there...

Yes, of course
Please send immersive mode requests to Samsung via feedback, or by emailing them. Right now the adb commands create annoying black bars instead of extending the screen.
I currently don't have my S10 yet, but use 'SystemUI Tuner' on my OnePlus 6 to do immersive mode.
Doesn't work with s10 it appears a black bar...

Technically you could remove the black back by going into Settings>Display>Full Screen apps and selecting all to be full screen instead of auto. However this makes removing the status bar useless since even though you don't get the black bar you still do get a bar that's the color of the app. Green for whatsapp for instance. So you're not actually getting any more screen real estate, just hiding the status bar which I find it easier to do through adb instead of any other app which requires you to give more permissions hence to type more in the terminal.
I'm looking for a way to hide the status bar and have the screen go up and around the camera cutout, just like it works on any other phone which doesn't have a camera cutout

I'm afraid not, still looking. I tried several apps and adb. Even wscan command on adb which was something I used to shift the screen down to hide the navbar before pie. Nothing seems to work

Strange because apps can go full screen, like Netflix and YouTube Vanced. Just that stubborn black shaded status bar won't shift.

Yeah that's the same thing I thought of. I guess on apps you would lose some keys for instance on WhatsApp the ability to make calls... But I still would want to hide the status bar
Samsung makes these awesome panels but makes its almost impossible to remove the static elements opening us up to burn in. Toss us a bone Samsung or use a different display tech!

Best I can get Netflix is about ¾ of way through the cam cut out, can't get it all the way to the edges of the screen

I opened myself 2 threads about this on xda and one on reddit XD this is soooooooo important to me but no one seems to really care about it much! no one could help how can it be, that folks buy a S10 because of it's infinity display which has very little top and side bezels but are completely fine with a huuuuuuuge statusbar that's just a software bezel because of the bad software.... don't get me started about the possible burn in issues or uneven wear.
the usual adb command don't work
Sammy's own settings in the settings app where you can choose between automatic and fullscreen does nothing
the only thing that worked for me was app cloner so far. I cloned apple music, relay, spotify and tumblr and the difference that it makes is soooo huge!!!! Sammy has to do something about this. Getting all that space back, seeing the content scroll behind and around the punch hole and up to the frame which let's you notice how thin the top bezel really is.... yes on most apps some element get's get blocked by the punch hole, but if you are familiar with the app and know that there is something you can still touch it and it works, or what I do is, triggering one handed mode for a second pressing it and move on. for me that would work. Sammy should put a disclaimer saying, can cause some issues with certain apps and let us use all the apps we wan't in fullscreen/immersive mode. It sure does look better and that's the way I'm gonna be using my S10 after rooting.
please if you have more tips how to get immersive mode, let me know.

Hi I don't understand why app cloner makes a difference. Can you explain?

Yes of course! like I mentioned before I always use my apps in immersive mode but for once I own a device that's not rooted yet and therefore hasn't a dozen of custom roms with the ability to tweak settings. And because the usual adb commands do nothing I remembered that app cloner had a bunch a display settings which you can mess with. And viola! It has an option to flag apps as immersive mode apps and it actually works! It seems to use a different hook/way to force apps into immersive mode and the result is just beautiful!!! Now you can really enjoy the Display of the S10.
Let me tell ya, after using apps in immersive mode for a hot minute and going back to the stock way sammy intended for us to use the S10, I have to say sammy did only a half hearted job on this. Yeah hardware side is nice but the software side is lacking and not utilizing the hardware. It seems like they didn't now any better and settled on a huge arse statusbar. Maybe because this isn't iOS where developers can develop for specific hardware not like on android.
The Downside? some elements do get in the way and require some kind of a workaround. In this case I settled on using one handed mode which brings the top half part of the screen down revealing those blocked elements by the punch hole. This works so far very good and I'm already used to it. Some elements peak out behind the punch hole so you already know there is something, in this case you can still touch that area because even the punch hole has a digitizer in that area.
S10+amoled theme+Substratum black theme+apps in immersive mode= In my opinion the best way to use this device and forget/never notice punch hole ever.
This should be a bigger deal and more people should talk about this. xda should cover this on the Frontpage.
Here are some screens:https://imgur.com/a/AGJQILu
I am absolutely certain I saw this in the settings a few days ago, but I can't find it now and a search of settings is coming up with nothing.
Basically, it was a way to set up split screen but having both sides of the screen active. This was demonstrated in the settings as having a dancing stick figure in the active window and when I turned on "both sides active" (or whatever it is actually called) then both stick figures started dancing.
Can anyone help me find this setting again? I've been through every single option in the settings and can't see it anywhere!
Thanks
I think that's a Good lock setting.

Bingo! Thank you
Speaking of split screen.....
On my s8 I could tap the middle bar of the 2 apps I am running split and it gives me option to flip the two easily. I can't figure out for the life of me how to do this on the s10. Is it possible?
So last night everything on my Google chrome was fine. Was set up just the way I like it. All functions such as the homepage button and setting were accessible at the top of the screen.
Well something changed over night. Now I've a hideous function bar at the bottom of the page
As you can see in my before photo, everything was located at the top of my screen all nice and neat.
In the after photo is what's going on now with the bar at the bottom of the page with all the feature buttons.
I didn't do any updates the night before. Just woke up this morning and was greeted with some unwelcome changes.
Have any of you noticed this too?
How can I go back to everything being at the top of the screen?
Thanks
So I just did an uninstall of updates, reinstall and everything is back to normal. But before I did that I checked a couple of other phones with current updates and they all didn't have the issue of the home, share tab and menus bar at the bottom.
What would cause this to happen over night?
I didnt update nor mess with any settings the night before.

Somehow experimental features we're enabled for you. I enabled them for myself when I first installed chrome

Search for duet
It's a new feature that's still in testing. I love it, been using it for weeks.
Also search for "dark" and you can force dark more on all website's (currently this feature inverts picture colors until you two to view that picture).
And there are also new tab switching tweaks. Here is how my browser looks on news.google.com. (xda has a dark more feature so that wouldn't be a good comparison)

I actually enabled enabled experimental features the 1st week I got my phone, when the note 9 came out. The only feature I enabled then was the home key/tab function. Maybe the devs did something to cause my issue to activate on its own?
Also, never really was interested in the dark mode until I saw your pics included with your comment. Pretty sweet! I'm kinda tired of my eyes bugging out every so often. Maybe this will help!
Thanks for your response and input!

I still cant help wondering how that setting was enabled. You'd have to physically goto the the experimental page and select the setting correct?
And nobody but me uses this phone.
