[Q] Screen swipe blue edges

Anybody else notice this when I am swiping the screen on my note eg between homescreens when I reach the limit of the screen ie it cannot be swiped any further a blue band appears from the edge and stretches from the edge and fades as long as my finger pressure is applied and when pressure is released the blue band disappears
I hope I am making sense with the description. Is this a feature of the Note?

Yes. It's not just homepages, it happens with almost every app with a scrollbar.

Many Thanks for the reply I have not seen this on any device before, interesting feature.

You will also find this on cyanogenmod but in orange.
The reason behind this is that the previous scrolling bouncing effect previously used is pattented by Apple, so Samsung had to to change to something different to avoid having to stop selling their products.

Yup, same with MIUI

possible to extend edge panel?

coming from the note 4 edge to the note 7 I have grown accustomed to an actual edge panel and miss it greatly. i cant stand that i have to choose a specific location for the panel to reside rather than being able to swipe from anywhere...
i have already increased the size to its max so i know it shouldnt be more than a few lines of code to make it even larger... but how possible is it?
something that xpose could tackle or would the bootloader need to be unlocked with a modded ROM?

We're talking bootloader unlocked status here

Note 9 Samsung Notes app. Please help

Dear All,
I have been using the Snote apk i got off Sam mobile, but today I started trying Samsung notes. What I can't figure out is, when you use the Create note shortcut (when one comes out) you can expand the new note and write from the very edge of the screen. But when you save it and edit it (or do a new note within the app,) it will not let you write on the edge of the screen. Instead this is used to scroll up and down using the pen. People moaned the Note 8 was not wide enough, and I agreed. I think the Note 9 does feel wider.....but then they limit your writing width space by giving you a slider bar! Really! Lol.
Does anyone know if you can turn the slider off? You can go up and down pages on everything else without the need for a side slider on both sides of the screen!
Many thanks.
Matthew

This seems to be just what Samsung decided on margins (there's the same blank space on the left too) ... if you go in the "Brush" tab you get edge to edge again, but then it is added to the note as an inserted image with those same margins. I don't see, or have ever read of a way to turn this off or adjust margin width.
This isn't an issue for me as I don't really go the far to the edge- pen often slips off edge if I get too close to the curve. Plus, I prefer S-Note which doesn't have these margins.
Sorry, this isn't much help... maybe go back to S-Note (there is an official apk on the Galaxy App Store)?

Hi - no thats ok, thank you for replying! S-note is good, and i have used it always on the note 8, its only trouble is, the pen is way less reponsive with s-note in comparison with Samsung notes - so its a shame. Its not the end of the world.
thanks though.

I guess it's a case of personal preference. I find the Samsung notes a downgrade from the S-note and was a shame that Samsung removed the creative features of the S-note app (photo note, idea sketch, easy chart etc). The device is made complete by the software so I cant see the sense in removing useful software which was productivity enabled! I have all these features enabled however (thanks to the guys here) so perhaps you might feel differently if u had those features enabled on the S-note. I know there is a Note 8 thread somewhere and this was discussed and resolved.

disable portion of screen with camera

is it possible to disable the entire horizontal area with the front facing camera on it, so that you don't lose out on a portion of your viewing experience? kind of like the notch / no notch options in other phones

So to avoid losing a very small part of screen? You removen 3 times+ more screen? ? Seems counter intuitive

Like someone else mentioned I don't see the reasoning behind that, but you could possible use another launcher like Nova and have the permanent status bar across the top.

The justification is that one is more distracting than the other.
I'd rather take the hit and have a smaller screen (lose 0.2 of an inch) than have video gain 0.2 of an inch but be hampered by a pill sized cutout that obscures video. It is a massive distraction. Arguably worse than the notch because at least that was flush at the top.
The question is whether we have the opportunity to control placement in software. If so, is that native support in android or would that have to be a custom feature via different launchers?

I doubt it will be native support and it will require another launcher.

LOL, Thanks, good to know. That surprises me since that cutout was a Samsung feature and Samsung isn't big on hiding their features.

Question Edge lightning

Is there anyone know how to activate edge lightning on this smartphone , since there is no longer option for it in edge's settings .
I know the option is there when i open it from bixby routine , none in setting .

Edge lighting only works with the "brief" notifications settings. I know, don't say it...this is the world's worst implementation of the edge lighting notification!
