Light and Screen Rotation - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all!
I am coming from a Note 2. Loved that phone, I had an opportunity to upgrade for FREE from my carrier so I did.
Anyways, as you all know, that after having a phone for a few days, months, or years...you've pretty much got it to where you want it.
SO, that brings me here to question you all...
But I am looking for instruction on how to make the light(on the back of the phone) light up when a call/message/email comes in?
I've looked and looked with no luck.
Then the other thing is I have Rotation Locker as one of my apps...but once I flip it on the side and go to my home screen, I cannot touch an icon to go to it...and I mean the simplest of icons...lets say texts, doesn't work.
Is there a better app available that you suggest?

For the flash,
Settings>accessibility >hearing>flash notification.
I never had any luck with home screen rotation apps but nova launcher does it well.

Thanks! Works just like you said...
The screen rotation thing I am still working on.
But with a name like blackhemi4x4 & with me being a HUGE Dodge fan...what Dodges do you own...

Cool!
I've had many turboed shadows and dusters, an 07 ram 1500, 08 ram 1500, two 2010 1500s, and now a 2014 1500.
I'm a fan

I Like how your location on XDA is ""Not Tellin!"
So, hows St Helens?
Mine is attached - I am working on a launcher theme for ADW so the dock is very incomplete!
Although I am sure there may be one of these that exists already, not sure though!
I prefer the minimalist look...

I know the location on xda was just for fun. do you know the fancy widget? Does the time hang for you? Cause if i leave my phone off for 1 hour or so. The clock stays the same. ???? stupid init! If yours doesn't could you tell me the version you use?
Thanks
I'm using version 76 with no freeze on clock. And we are speaking of "Weather & Toggle widgets".

Azoller...I like your taste in games. Although, IMO, the Android version of Plants vs Zombies is lacking...it only has the Adventure mode and Quickplay. No zen garden, no minigames, no survival... :-(
Here's mine so far. Still needs Widgets.

is skygrid a good enough app to get?
Not really... news 360 is better. I was just testing it out.
Try Wizz for Widgets. Free in the market, but don't use the greader widget as it causes fc loops.

Wizz Widgets
This is mine with the widgets I spoke of. They also have something called "WizzBar", which I've downloaded but not tried yet.

Poor WiFi Performance?

Anyone else having any WiFi issues? I work on an upper floor of a nice, thick goverment hospital. The WiFi has normally been OK for me with my last two phones (S2 & S3), but today is my first day at work with the GN3 and all I get is "Network disabled because internet connection is slow". Yeah, it's always been kinda slow, but my other phones and my tablets hook up anyway. This wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that the thick building blocks a lot of the 4G signal; I've got to be in a room with a window (AKA "Patients Room) for a decent signal. So I've got this badass new phone that can't connect to the internet a lot of the time.
Anyone have any suggestions? I can't find anything under the advanced options to convince it to connect. I'm sure a nice custom ROM would probably help, but we all know where we are with that at the moment.

Make sure that's not checked in the advanced wifi settings
For me, it seems to be on par with other devices (ie HTC One, LG Optimus G Pro, GS4).

Now that the phone is working, I thanked you from my Note. Stupid VA blocks most of these images on the desktops, including the "thanks" button LOL.

Display Scaling Possible?

On my S7, I was able to change the display resolution and fit more on the screen. N8 has that built into the OS but everything is too large even in the smallest setting. Is there a way to reduce the display further with Nova launcher or something?
Have you tried changing the DPI setting under minimum width in the developer options menu
No, what would you change it to so it doesn't screw things up?
Keyboard and icons don't scale well when doing it. So annoying.

F. awesome! Exactly what I was hoping for, thanks dude!
i use 444 and all looks good
I run at 550 the only thing I have noticed is setting up the phone you have to keep your dpi low.
Edit : I am an idiot running that on S8 I was lurking Note 8 forums not the S8 forums my bad.

I know I should not be in here I can feel my wallet getting lighter.
I run 625, 600 is where the browser switches to tablet format. Nova makes dealing with icons very easy. I set them at 125% and scaled the icon font up. You can then adjust the icon grids to a more natural layout.
Queston. The device model works well but defaults to its values when you toggle resolution.
Is there an app that can resolve this?

This is one
Here is one of my homescreen shots
What do you think?
Just got my fold and here is my homescreens
I'm surprised that no-one has done something creative with the Fold's large notch yet. We saw lots of wallpapers and whatnot for the S10 series when those devices came out; then again for the N10 series. Someone ought to be able to work the Fold's notch into an artistic scene somehow.
Got a diablo theme going on the larger wallpaper is actually animated perfectly as well
Here is mine, it's a live wallpaper
Do all of you keep single screen page inside or have more than one page?
It is unfortunate that when we setup our phone home screens when the phone is folded, it doesn’t keep the same setting when the phone is unfolded.
