[Q] Note 4 lock screen effects missing

Hey guys for some reason my lock screen effects are missing or I'm unable to access them. How do I fix this? I've been trying to figure this out for some days now.
Thanks

I am guessing you are using a live wallpaper? Using a live wallpaper will disable the lock screen effects.

No I don't have a live wallpaper. I'm thinking it's a bug in the lollipop update that's preventing me from having the option to choose which effect I would like.

Smart Select APK

Hi guys! Okay, I need some help. I just upgraded to the Note 5 from the Note 4. While I like the phone overall, I'm absolutely missing the Smart Select S Pen feature from the Note 4 (which, objectively, is the better phone). Could anyone please, please, please....please post the apk for the Smart Select feature? I'm going to try to put it on my Note 5.
I found an app that actually works better than the Note 5 rendition of Smart Select (http://apkpure.com/smart-select-ocr/com.bin.smartselect) but it's just not the same. Thanks for the help!

I don't see a app with that name. Are you sure that's not a feature in the S-pen app?

Actually, you're 100% right. It's not a standalone app so to speak. It's, more than likely, an system apk mixed with a few other settings and system dependencies, mixed with a few thinks I'm not familiar with :silly: . In order to get the Note 4's Smart Select functionality on a Note 5 I'll probably have to reach out to one of my smart developer friends.
Thanks for responding!

Is edge lighting working for you guys?

The dege lighting on mine desont seem to be working at all. I had only the edge lighting switched on and edge screen off and always on display on. Any insight? Thanks in advance!

Mine is working and was enabled for messages by default.

Works for me.
Everytime message or email arrives, colorful ring goes around the screen.

Have you tried APP SPESIFIC section?

To update, looks like SMS does work but not emails and other apps even they are whitelisted. Thanks for the input anyway!

Has to be an app that would show notification content not just make a sound and show an icon

Works only for me with screen ON. But it screen is off it won't work.

seems like that would be when you want it to edge light the most.

With the screen off or on?

There is a free Galaxy App called Edge Lighting Plus that gives you a lot more control and options.

I started using Good Lock in my Note 8, installed on my new 9 as well. One of the suggested accompanying apps is the EdgeLighting+. I actually am not sure if it's working yet, as this weekend hasn't been a good time to test. Most of my notifications are Facebook, Instagram, and email related and I don't think those ever invoked edge lighting for me.
I'll be able to test more reliably in terms of SMS and Hangouts this coming week.

Open your galaxy apps app and search for Edge Lighting Plus. It’s a free app. https://youtu.be/yY4iD7WwLXQ

Hmm still doesnt work I think I have to use the stock Samsung apps for it to work I think. Yep it's the Samsung apps that work with it

I haven't messed with the edge lighting settings at all and it seems to be working normally.

It doesn't work for calls from what I tested. If you look at the available apps the phone app isn't listed. Everything listed it so far always works for me.
Edit : Also if you have a flip cover case like samaung flip cover it will disable it

Edge lighting is a joke.

in game keyboard

Dies anyone know how to correct this? This is a major downfall! I have tried the resizing and everything I can think of

Tyr changing your screen resolution. I came across a few games in the past where it helped.

Open game tools,(left button while in game) click additional features, unclick floating keyboard.

THIS!!!!! Man I don't know what Samsung was thinking with that. And the Toast text on how to turn it off only shows for literally 2 seconds. I was like WTF?!

Phone Goes Directly To Notification When Opened

How do I stop my phone from opening an app when I get a notification in it. Example; I get a notification that I have a new post in Instagram. When I unlock my phone, it'll go directly to that post. Itll do it also if I get a notification while on the phone in a call. Soon as I take the phone away from my ear, it'll go to that notification.
I have a carrier Verizon Note 9, with 9.0, not rooted.

Anyone?

Are you sure you don't click the notification or screen before unlocking the phone?
This is an android feature i.e. it will land up on the app when you click a notification on lock screen. Obviously you have to go through the lock screen.
If this is not the case, I think you have to debug via logcat.

Good one. Also check apps having notification access. Disable them one by one and check.

First confirm if that solves the problem. We need to find the cause first.

You both may have put me on the right path.
When I went to start disabling apps, I noticed this option in the Gear options. I turned it off, as it must have been on by default. I'll see what happens now.

Oh, how could I forget this. It's introduced in the new update I guess. Really annoying feature. You're safe to disable it.
Glad it helped.

Thanks. I've already confirmed that was it too. But I never thought to check the Gear for the problem. It did occur to me though that it happened everytime I got a notification on my watch that the same app would open on my phone.
Again, Thank You.

When I read your problem that was the first thing I thought causing it, cause I recently bought a galaxY watch and set it up
