Can't find seperate app sound feature - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi. I updated my galaxy note 8 via odin. After the update I can't seem to find the 'separate app sound' feature anywhere. I searched in the settings and can't find any threads online regarding this issue. Does anybody how to bring it back.

Not sure what Note 8 you have not what you flashed, but when I search 'separate' in settings on my N950U1/8.0, it pops right up...

I have the N950F version. I have N950FXXU3CRB9 if that is what you are asking. When I search 'separate' in the settings the only result I get is dual messenger.

Try getting Samsung Sound Assistant first.

Thanks a lot, I really missed this feauture. It even has extra features which I also needed.

Hidden fetures

every since I found out about the hidden call recorder and hidden download booster I can't help but think, is there more fetures AT&T Is hiding from us? I have been doing a lot of research on the subject and to my surprise I can't find anything about hidden fetures on the gs5 even when making spacific searches about "unlocking hidden fetures with root access" I can't find one single thing... does anyone here know of any unlockable hidden fetures on the gs5 other than the above mentioned? I'm fairly new to the whole root scene but have become addicted to searching through code just to see if I can find something I can change on my phone (yes I know this is risky but i have back up phones and I back up everything before changing anything) anyway any info anyone could give me about unlockable fetures or things I should try in general would be much appreciated. . Thanks in advance

How to enable call recording and download booster in hidden menu ?
For starters neither me nor the person that gave the directions are responsible if you brick your device or end up with system errors or unstable system in general....
XDA won't let me post the link to the call recorder because I am a new member here.... so you will have to do a Google search on enabling the hidden call record on the s5...
To enable download booster this is what I did download nova launcher start nova launcher long press home screen click shortcuts click activities scroll down untill you see settings click that scroll down until you see download booster click it.. it will put a shortcut on the nova launchers home screen for download booster click it activate enjoy...
I can't take credit for either set of directions as I am not the one who discovered it I can't remember who I got the download booster intrusions from but it was on the XDA site.. the other I found just by down research....

Not sure what to tell you... do some research... that's what I do.... the booster uses wifi and service providers internet to boost downloads OVER 30MB so if you are not connected to wifi and the download is not over 30MB in size it's not going to do anything..

I've had my s5 for a couple months now and here's some pretty cool tricks/ tips I've come across:
(I am not to blame for a bricked phone; processed with common sense and at your own risk)
- Adding new toggles
- Changing the notification panel icons from circles to squares by editing your build.prop "ro.product.device" and "ro.product.name" From "klteatt" to "jflteatt"(s4 notification panel and recent apps?)
- Have not tested this... Adding quick connect and s finder button to notification panel by changing "ro.product.device" and "ro.product.name" to "kltetmo "
- Have not tested this... Att has limited the cloud backup and restoring function of this phone so you can not backup and restore useful data such as mms, sms and call logs(?) I was able to bypass this by uninstalling the stock samsung account app and installing a new one.(Will try to upload apk I used if not just google)
- $tt has also crippled the stock my files and gallery app so you cant use the Dropbox function on either app(probably so you'll use their cloud service). Haven't found a work around but flashing to a t mobile rom will have the feature enabled on both apps.
- tip - Save time managing your files by using multi window mode with 2 my files app open, you can drag selected content from one screen to the other screen to save time.
Hope I helped someone
Thanks dude I'll be checking these out! Any custom roms you recommend for a noob? I already have safestrap and have backed up everything ready to start flashing just not sure where to start.....

I'm using a mostly stock t-mobile based rom it might not be loaded with features but it's stable. I've tried dynamic kat but the battery was draining too much in standby even when I tried disabling a lot of features and apps.
I've been running Dynamic Kat for a few months ( pretty much since it was released ) I loved it and had great battery life. It would last anywhere from 1.5 - 2 days. I'm now running alliance rom. I ran it about a week ago and the battery want very impressive so I went back to Dynamic Kat, but got bored today so I flashed back to alliance and disabled a few more things and greenified alot of stuff so I'll see how it works now
Thanks for all the info keep them coming! I'm downloading visix at the moment and will download these others as soon as I get a chance

I've had the download booster working on my phone. I can assure you, that all that nova launcher does is unhides the feature. It does not unlock it or make it work. There is a thread around here as to how to make the download booster work, but the fix is kind of unstable and works best on firmware G900AUCU1ANCE. It will break private mode, and on another firmware, has a tendency to break the camera and the gps. I don't know if it works at all on the most recent update. I'm on the one in between, G900AUCU2AND3. I could go back, but I prefer to keep the Reactivation lock over the download booster.
Fair enough I just now tested it out and your right it don't work witch sucks.. when I first unlocked it using nova I had nothing over 30mb to test it on nor do I have WiFi at my house so I had to wait to go to my bro-in-laws just to test it looks like I'll be doing more research on this.... I am still looking to test out other roms so anyone that has any suggestions on good roms to try out let me know I'm currently running visix witch is pretty awesome by the way

Basic Menu options not selectable

Hi.
Problem with my note 5 (SM-N920T 5.1.1) that I cant seem to figure out... It all started with S note. I wanted to download the extension pack to be able to transpose notes into text. Hit more in the upper corner, more features, then extension pack. but for some reason when i hit the "extension pack" option it just flashes grey at me... every option on that screen actually. Of course scoured the internet and nothing but how tos and videos outlining those steps.
Now i said F-it as I unfortunately am one of the poor souls that fell victim to the penGate Scandal. I assumed it was something to do with the broken s-pen detection (my Spen itself is fully intact), finished my beer and went to bed.
couple days later I was at the t-mo store checking out the gear S2. Got it paired with my note 5 and wanted to see what the app selection was like. Got the prompt to download apps from my phone through the Sgear app... went to the app and the download applications link does the same thing!!!
Tried all the basics... restart phone, check unknown apps, anything I could think of... No luck.
Any ideas??? I cant seem to select options to download Samsung or OEM approved downloads...

hi ,
Firstly ,to download from ( as you put it) "Samsung or OEM approved downloads..." you have to register your device ,re "Samsung Account" and also sign into Samsung apps store ... etc ..? , to download ( Same procedure, as if you want to download from eg . Google Play store ?)
You did not mentioned this in your post above ..?
secondly,
I had an issue on my old Note 4 ,where i had settings "grayed out", but yes it was a bug in Rom . Yes ,I fixed it"temporary " by re flashing stock Rom ..only to appear later again !!!
Thirdly ,
you do not state if your device is rooted or stock Rom ..etc ? Reason why ,is ,
if its a bug in Rom ,how about/the possibility of re flashing your correct stock Rom ..to see if its fixes issue ?
Good luck

hi, just on a side note, Lux" broke "my app installs, on my Note 4 and Note5. Unknowingly, spend hours trying to figure out, why i could not sideload an app.. Yes then i found Lux was the culprit.!
I am using Velis for quite some time now. Have not found any issues so far with Velis. Yes, i agree Lux can also cause issues..
Good luck

Stock firmware, no rom. Not rooted yet.
OK it was not having the Samsung Galaxy apps application installed on my phone. Samsung acct was linked but not having the physical Galaxy apps app was causing this. I Apparently some providers like tmo us Remove some factory installed apps. I had a hell of a time finding it to download, here is the link in case anyone wants it for usa
apps.samsung.com/jupiter/mw/apk_en.as?COUNTRY_CODE=USA
Would of been nice to receive a pop up or notification to install this to be able to use the Extra functionality... No idea why this essential app was removed. Corporate bs if you ask me.
Thanks

Can I do this on the Note 5?

Hi guys,
I have a Galaxy Note 3 presently and it's having some minor software issues + issues with the loudspeaker. I can't be bothered fixing them - so I'm going to use it as an excuse to upgrade! Therefore, I'm going to get a Note 5. I haven't researched it much but assume it's a big improvement on the Note 3...
I don't use my phone for anything more than calls, messages, emails, Facebook and Snapchat really. I'd like to keep it as stock as possible, but I do need the following features:
1) Bypass exchange security settings on emails that require you to put a PIN/Password to unlock your phone every single time. I have been able to do this on the Note 3.
2) Remove messages from the call log. Not sure if this was fixed in the newer android versions but it was very annoying when I first got my phone. I only want to see calls in my call log.
How can I do the above on the Note 5 with the least amount of stuffing around/customising my phone?
Also, are there any 'must have' accessories for the Note 5? And should I be considering any other phones as alternatives before I go ahead and buy a Note 5?
Cheers

hi ,
i can give you an idea or two ..it's up to you if you want to do it .
Firstly ,i have Note 2,Note 3 Note 4 and Note 5 .
What it did was with my Note 3 was installed a custom Rom Phronesis port of Note5 .
Its a very stable Rom and a clone of Note 5 software. I must admit, it very identical to Note 5 ,smooth ,fast ,no hiccups . ect
Secondly I just check my call log and only see phone calls listed ,no messages .
Thirdly cannot help you with that ,sorry .
Fourthly , as stated i have nearly whole Note range and really enjoy Note5 ,smoothness ,performance battery life on par with my other Notes ..very good
Bottom line ,
Its your decission ?.
good luck
I have a stock N920C ,not rooted .

Thanks mate. With my Note 3, the call log shows messages and calls received/made/missed, which is stupid. You can set it to show only calls, but then it reverts back again. Perhaps this was rectified in newer software versions, but as standard the Note 3 shows calls and messages in the log.
I need a new phone regardless, as my loudspeaker on my current phone is not working, but thanks for the idea.
Any advice on the Exchange Security bypass would be appreciated...

hi ,
I agree that your decision to get new device
is a good idea .Just wanted you to know, if you wanted to keep your "old " Note 3 ,you can spice it up ,(as a second backup device .)
Re the call log and messages ,there's a simple solution .Samsung log converter (free app ..Google Play ) see screenshots .
I used it for my Note 3 and my Note 8.0 tablet ,to seperate log messages from call log works fine on Note 3 and Note 8.0
I am suprised you have not used it ..?
Anyway ,good luck
Thanks alot, that app worked a treat!
Just need some help with the exchange security bypass now...
Thanks
I use an application called nine for my exchange emails it has a bypass built in the app and is far superior to the standard Samsung email app. It's a paid app but for exchange it's the best I've used.

Thanks mate - does your phone need to be rooted to use the bypass? I'm guessing so....?
Need to be rooted to use bypass in the normal email app.

Once rooted, how do I bypass the settings in the normal email app?

Hi guys,
I'm told I can probably just root, and check if there are any apps that allow me to bypass the exchange settings.
Failing this, I'm told I could go the Xposed module and apply the fix, or use a ROM which has it built in. Which path should I go down? What's the difference?
Cheers

Call auto answer app for Pie

Hello people!
I want to address to everyone who can help!
I need an app for Android Pie with very simple but hard to find feature. Auto answer phone call from pre selected list of callers.
I have never thought that it could be a hard to find app, but my friend who drive a bike and already had 2 tickets for using his phone when driving asked me to find an app that can automatically pick up the phone when his boss, wife and son call him. First moment I thought I will need like 10 seconds to find it but, after trying about 15 apps I found that none of them actually work. The one that works on my phone with android 8, but is not supported by android 9 and we could not even install it. He has SM-G955U - galaxy S8+ and he updated his phone recently to Pie.
If anyone knows working app could be free or paid which support this feature I would really appreciate your help.
Most of the apps that claim they support it are outdated and were updated 2-3 years ago. We tried about 15 of them and none of them work. It could be simple app or complicated project with tons of features it doesn't matter. We just need phone auto answer calls when this feature is active.
We did it already

We searched and tried all we could find and nothing works on Pie. We tried to email developers but no answers so far.
