Small Clock on Lockscreen (Android 7.0 annoyances) - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently got the OTA update for Android 7.0. Since the update the clock on the lockscreen is much smaller.
What is strange is that when the alarm is triggering the clock gets bigger (weird). This is on a 9.7in Tab S2.
Anyone know of a setting or a fix for this?
Other annoyances with Android 7.0 on Tab S2. Anyone know fixes/settings for these?
- media volume changing 'bar' got smaller. When volume-up/down button pressed the screen popup is now only a small portion of the screen, used to take up more of the screen and be easier to put finger in right place to set the volume.
- when opening apps from folders when you back out of the app/exit you now get taken to the folder screen and not the home screen.

not able to open notifications from the lockscreen

previously on sense 5 you can directly open any notifications from the lockscreen with just a tap. after updating to sense 6, i cant do taht anymore. i tried swiping down but what happens was only a box-like thing appears and the screen becomes dark. long tapping makes the lockscreen sink into the background and u can drag it around like a homescreen.
swiping left or right on the notification only brings me back to blinkfeed or the homescreen.. any ideas how to bring back tap to open notifications?
bumps~
You have to swipe from top to down (the lockscreen have to become darker) then you can open the notification...But I regret this system not really good and the fact that all notifications are together sucks too...

Notifications Create Circle pop ups on Home Screen

Can anyone tell me how to stop app notificatjons from creating these circles on the home screen? T
This is my first note in some time.
I'm also running the oneui beta.
Go to edge lighting and turn it off.
Not sure exactly what you are referring to but I had a similar experience and went into : ( Settings/Advanced features/Smart pop-up view ) where I unchecked everything and then no more 'circles'. Also running the One UI Beta.
Thank you, that solved the problem for me as well

Lock screen resolution problems!

I have a weird problem with my Note 8 (running pie)... the screen resolution for my lockscreen seems bugged. The app shortcuts (2 apps at the bottom of the screen) are cropped and the clock seems larger than usual. I am inclined to think that the resolution is stuck in a weird setting. The AOD is affected as well, clock looks bloated and I can't even see the home button.
Tried playing with the display resolution. I'm currently on 1080p... 1440p still has cropped app shortcuts... 720p makes the apps completely disappear!
I've installed a couple of apps that would make the navigation bar disappear (which is my suspect for this weird resolution). Nova Launcher, Fluid Nav Gesture and your very own navigation gestures. Did the whole ADB step to completely remove the nav bar.
Only app that would change the lockscreen is Lock Star from Samsung's Good Lock but I uninstalled it and cleared the partition which did absolutely nothing.
Been googling all day for a solution and sadly didn't find any... hopefully you guys can help me because it is so irritating. Not to mention I lose the home button functionality in my AOD.
Sadly since I am a new member I can't post images.
Have you tried changing dpi in developers section in settings, that might help

S10 Android 10, One UI 2.0, Weather Widget lost swipe up/down feature

Hi guys
Is it just me who doesn't know how to, or Samsung made changes......
Before the Android 10 and One UI 2.0 update I could easily see 2 locations on my weather widget just by swiping the widget up or down. And it will switch between the 2 locations or more the way I set it.
Now after I got the update, I can't do that anymore..... I have to open the weather app, and change the location manually. Even inside the app itself I can no longer swipe left or right to switch between locations.....
Now I have 2 weather widgets on my home screen which taking space......
Cheers
I have the same problem on my s10+, on my tablet tab s6 with android 9 works well.

Time will tell if it's intentional or an Android 10 oversight.

Question Swipe away all notifications and then Notification screen does not close by itself like it used too on One UI 4.1

My S21 Ultra had Android 12 One UI 4.1 and when I would bring up my notification screen and swipe away all the notifications and after swiping the last one away the notification screen would automatically close by itself.
After updating my S21 Ultra to Android 13 and One UI 5.0 whenever I bring up my notification screen and swipe away all the notifications the notification screen now stays up and I have to press on the screen to close the notification screen.
Anyone know how to make it work like it did on One UI 4.1? I don't see any settings to make it work like it did on UI 4.1.
It's most likely a One UI 5.0 thing...
Same exact thing for my S21. Anyone find a fix for this??
