Screen overlay fix?

Without root is it anyway to stop the annoying screen overlay detected message? I tried several fixes from google searches.

No, but there's a workaround. Go to app info for the app that causes it and manually set permissions.

I figured out what app was causing the screen overlay and i turn it off when i need to...was seeing if it was a fix like in xposed where it will override the messge regardless what app in installed.

There's an app called install button unlocker on playstore that solves that problem.

Thx will check it out
Works perfectly thanks

This totally worked nice find. This was such a huge issue with this phone.

Does the full screen icon exist on the Note 8 for Youtube??

As in the s8 plus, while watching youtube an icon will appear to let u fit the video to the entire screen. Now on my note 8 this icon is no longer present.

When you play a youtube video a round "crop to fit" button pops up which allows it to play fullscreen.

Check for update for the youtube app. Or uninstall/reinstall the app.

Yup tried that already. I did a factory reset yesterday cuz of other issues

That is a bummer. I looked all through settings on mine and couldn't see anything that would affect. Good luck!

Had the same issue. Updated the Software in settings and now its working. You'll see that the Software update includes enhancements. Perhaps Samsung forgot to include that feature the first time around.

It doesn't seem to matter. I can tap anywhere and the icon will pop up on the right side.

For me some videos start out cropped, like some videos from Vevo. It says "Automatically adjusted to fit screen." Then you have to tap the screen to switch it back to normal. And others start out normal and you have to tap to crop.

How to turn off camera shutter sound on Note 8

Hello Everyone,
I live in Middle East but I bought My Note 8 SM-N950N from South Korea because 256GB is not available here.
Everything is fine till now except I noticed today that I cannot turn off the shutter sound even if the phone is silent.
There is not option in the camera setting to turn the shutter sound off, although my friends who bought their phone locally have it.
In the volume setting I mute all the volume bare (System, media, bixby ...) but still the shutter sound appear.
I asked Bixby to turn the camera shutter sound off, but no change.
My phone is not rooted and I will not root it soon, so I don't have access to system folder.
Any suggestion?

Delete this file

I just asked Bixpy to turn off shutter sound and she did it......not sure which setting she changed though as I can't find the setting anywhere. I am not a huge Bixpy fan, but I she does do a good job with settings

I heard that also & tried telling Bixby to turn off my shutter sound on my N950F, Bixby wouldn't do it. After root I simply renamed the shutter.ogg audio file to shutter.bak. No more shutter sound.
Later I flash the tmobile volte/wifi calling mod by Kalm_Traveler & that enabled tbe shutter sound toggle in the camera settings.
Renaming or deleting the shutter audio file is the easiest but you can try adding the following to get the toggle.
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>TRUE</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>

I think in some countries, it is not allowed to silence that sound. So, the only way is to root and delete the system sound file.

Yup, that is true which is why I was not surprised when I found out my UK variant didn't have the toggle. I heard they tried to pass the same law in the US but I guess it never passed as all my US variant phones have the toggle.

I didn't see where the OP said he didn't want yo root. Normally you can't disable it without root. However I believe you can do it using Tasker. I've never tried it so I have no idea how to do it but if you search you'll find a number of threads.
There's also this, not sure if it'll work. Just a FYI, the post says Note 8 is compatible but I'm pretty sure that's the Note 8.0 tablet as the post hasn't been updated since 2013.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502522

Is there a way to rename that file through adb?
(So that root isnt required)

I am in the same situation.. But I have found an workaround. If you change sound mode to silent or vibrate, there will be no shutter sound.

Doesn't work for the N models.

You might be able to add that CscFeature tag to your phone via ADB without rooting but I have no experience with that... my devices are rooted pretty much as soon as I get my grubby paws on them.

On my European SM-N950F Duos I used Tasker to set System volume to 0 when camera is open, then again set it to max when closing camera.

Try to put in a headphone plug (dont need the actual headphones) and attempt.

Ok, I get there could be privacy issues, but then how do you take pictures where sounds aren't allowed? For example in a library it is now becoming common practice to simply use Evernote to scan a page instead of going to the photocopier and making copies.
In quiet museum or at shows where photography is allowed all come to mind. If you can't shut off the shutter sound how are you supposed to take pictures at these locations?
Luckily in the U.S. it is a simple as asking Bixby to turn it off for you, but there are no settings to be found anywhere for it, so I wonder if she essentially does this work around.

Silly question, have you tried asking Bixby? I am guessing you have, but just a thought, as I said I don't have the shutter setting, but asking her to turn the shutter sound off did the trick. My Model is SM-N950U1 in case it helps anyone out there.

Yeah we know this already, read the thread, or even just the OP. Those who do not have this option don't have a US TMO variant.

how to remove N950N Camera shutter sound?

Hi everyone, I'm using a note 8 N950N here and the camera don't have the option to remove the shutter sound, with root i am able to remove the shutter sound by removing the shutter.ogg from system/media/ui/shutter.ogg but for camcorder start,stop and multiple shutter it is still having sound,
Here are few things that i had tried,
1) remove shutter_multiple.ogg, camcorder_start.ogg,camcorder_stop.ogg
2) add in <CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu> in csc but still dont have the option to disable it.
Is there anything I'm missing here? is it possible that the shutter sound location for N950N is different compare to other version, if yes what could be the correct path?
Thanks

Hi, I am aware of the thread but the solution inside can't help me, or can u enlight me is there any solution in there that was overlooked by me? I open a different thread because my device is rooted while that thread the op obviously doesn't have a rooted device thus I'm expecting some different answer compare to that.

If you are rooted you can either flash a different CSC, or just delete the sound file.

Hmm. That is strange. Mine has the option to turn off the shutter sound in the options menu through the camera app.

Before I had the toggle I removed the shutter ound file but I never throught to remove the sounds for video & bursts shots. On my F they are not named camcorder, they are cam_start & cam_stop. With the toggle, all the sounds are turned off.
Where & which xml file are you adding the csc feature line to?

Yes i agree, but in relation to the ringtone sound level it makes it more convinient. You can even adjust the level by using multiple files. But did google already "fixed" this since version Kit Kat?
