Several Questions Note 8 - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hello,
I have some questions that I think are interesting.
1. Is there a way to use stock theme AOD when the wallpapers ( lock screen and home screen ) are changed? Its so annoying because I love the AOD when stock theme is applied but when I change the wallpaper and AOD is blank ( black ) ....
2. After the "famous" Oreo update apps are uninstalling very slowly ( about 15-30 seconds ) did you guys have the same issue?
3. Is there a way to set all app notifications to URGENT?
Thank you in advance.

2. Yup, I've encountered this also with Oreo & posted about in another thread. It's annoying that apps take long to uninstall. Good know that I'm not the only one who has experienced this.

[Q] Quite a few issues (memo, profiles, screen) (Beginner)

Hello Everyone!
I am new to Android, my Galaxy Note is my first Android phone. So maybe my questions will seem stupid :
- Is there a way to quickly change between Silence/vibrate/ringtones ? Like a widget ? It is easy to switch between vibrate to ringtones, but I have to go to settings when I have to get the vibration off.
- Is there a way to be reminded of memos or tasks, like an alarm, but with memos ? An app for that maybe ?
- My screen has sometimes problems with black pixels on dark photos or youtube videos. There are huge packs of black pixel, not showing great hardware problem ? I hope not...
Thank you!

If you slide down the drop down menu you can turn on sounds or no sounds. You can also get widgets on the market that can enable or disable vibrations I believe as well.
Gtasks is an app I use to sync google tasks, there are options to put reminders (alarms). I don't believe memos in theory need reminders or alarms. I believe that to be a task if it's time constricted.
You could upload a picture here, and we can see if we can replicate the issue. I don't have my note yet, it's on its way. But I'm sure someone else wouldn't mind taking a look at it.
Cheers

If it is "sometimes" then usually it is not a dead pixel because they are "everytime"... It could be just contrast issues on the picture.

UI size changes automatically

I have a problem .. some times when i switch on the screen everything changes to very small even the navigation bar icons .. its like the resolution changes and everything will be small .. ill.post a screenshot when it happens again .. a workaround i go to screen resolution and change from hd to fhd then back to hd and the wallpaper , icons, settings and text comes back to normal size.
Help is appreciated
Same issue here with a Mate 10 Po. I set the UI to "small" and UI (navbar and buttons bar) sometimes become huge but this is the only part of the UI that seems to be affected. Quite strange and annoying …
EDIT : "intelligent resolution" is not activated.

Screen Dimming Temporary Fix

After Oreo update, it seems there's annoying bug/feature that automatically dims my screen when using camera, Facebook, chrome, pubg mobile etc.
I tried one temporary solution for that bug which actually works on my Huawei P10.
Let me know it this solution will work on your devices.
1. Turn-off Power Saving Mode
2. Go to Go to System>Developer Options>Increase Readability Under Sunlight> Toggle Off
3. Then restart and check your apps if it still auto dimming
And if you want permanently freeze or delete power genius...that solved my problem.
But I think because I delete it now in my power usage, software ia not showing...just hardware.
I dont know if its because I delete that or was a bug that I didn't notice))
where is developer options?

Thanks for all support
hello. I do not know why but it does not help me. only locking and then re-unlocking the screen restores the normal backlight and does not dim afterwards.sorry no good English.use Google translator. Olo
it doesnt help for me. any ide of this???
Works on my P10. Thanks!
Doesn't work on my Huawei Nova 3i
It seems that Velis Auto Brightness app from Google Play Store does the trick (Honor 10 Stock Pie).
Settings:
Automatic brightness: ON
track light in graph: ON
SETTINGS: (advanced):
Automatic brightness: ON
Disable system handler: ON
Start when screen turns ON: ON
Interactive notification: ON
All other settings off/default.
When you turn off the screen and turn it on, go for the first time in notification area and set your desired value in Velis.
Turn off automatic handling of this app in battery section (app start).
If you disabled animations in developer options, enable them again (0,5x for exanple) and see the magic.
NO more dimming at all.
Hi - I see this thread was originally written 2yrs ago, but I currently have this 'screen dimming in app' problem with my P10 Plus. It started in the last couple of months and may be related to a software update - I'm currently on EMUI 9.1.0.
The Developer option on this thread unfortunately didn't resolve the problem for me (perhaps that's not longer relevant now).
Can anyone offer any other advice?l to resolve this?
Thanks.

laggy phone why???

its strange or its the same for everybody or just for me .
i have the exinos version and my phone and all galxy phone i had got the same lagg for years
if i use the infinity wall paper i got no lag but if i change the wall paper for home screen and for lock screen the moment i open the lockscreen to hone screen the animation lag again...when i slide the screen to open the phone from lockscreen to home screen isee lag in the animation when i have on the home screen icons its weird do you see that too?
The only slowdown I noticed was when I left my knox-secured folder, like 0,5s lag before it closed. Do you have a branded software or unbranded?

wondering if its not the launcher being throttled. on infinity theme they might have to get it optimized by not letting the system sleep some cores to allow a seemingless experience. when you change to static wallpaper,this optimization is removed to prioritize battery . but as we can see, it would be nice to get at least the same performance on non infinity themes/wallpapers
I disable and/or shorten animations in developer options on every device I have. Makes a difference. On the Note I use pitch black wallpaper from the play store. Keeps it simple and frees up resources. Those animations, etc take more cpu. So I don't use 'em.

Just get Nova Launcher and call it a day. NO lag.

Are you using default theme or some thurd party theme? Incompatible themes can lag phone too.

Unfortunately any third party launcher still hanging or lagging when an incompatible theme used in samsung themes.
Default or some themes seem to help overcome lag specially in exynos note 9.

When the lag observed, open samsung members app n submit feedback as problem. Already submitted once but more submitting gives it high priority to resolve

Oh, I see. I tend to turn off most animations, or at least set them to 0.25 in the developer options.
updatek i found asolution that will kill all lag between stuff from lockscreen and home screen and beyond
we need to change in developer option only the duration animation to 0.5 little faster and its kill all lag check this lots time not even one lag great!!!!!
but change only the duration cause all the rest animation got no lag :good::good::good:

.25? Where is that?
And I think the OP is trolling. Have you seen the topics he is creating? But his iPhone X doesn't do this.
And I don't know why people keep thinking changing the animation duration to a lower setting gets rid of lag. It is just an option to cover up all latencies interacting with phone and to give it a little flair. Changing the animation timing doesn't do anything for lag. If anybody wants to argue the point change the timing higher and use for awhile and then go back to a lower setting.

Sorry, my memory failed me. I guess it's only 0.5.
Changing the animation definitely APPEARS to make things faster and less laggy. Whether it's placebo or not, I'm not sure.
Samsung always has a form of lag. Its in their DNA

Most likely everyone is experiencing similar thing but you just have a very low tolerance for "lag".

Hmmm, its actually annoying to see such laggy premium phone.
When samsung account is added, somehow samsung cloud auto sync n auto backup is on. Cloud sync always have additional lags. Disbaling cloud sync or removing samsung account completely seems to help in handling lag.
HI friends,
Just install the HTC Sense 9 ported apps like Sense Home launcher, Weather, clock etc.
Everything will work smoother and faster on this note 9.

Issues with some apps and the notch

Hey all,
I've had my Mi8 Global edition (currently running 10.0.3 global stable) for about a month now and I've noticed an issue on Facebook Messenger where the app loads weirdly (see 1st screenshot) and then after about a second or 2 it corrects itself. Is there any fix for this? I tried going into the screen settings and making Messenger not a full screen app but the option is locked. I also tried hiding the notch and this did nothing as well...
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Also, on my AOD (Always on Display) only certain apps notifications appear, is there a fix for this yet on the Global stable rom? AND is there a way to make app icon notifications appear on the status bar if you do not have the Chinese Version?
Thanks all!

Jesus, how I hate it!!! And Google knows nothing about this behavior...
Yeah so far it's only Facebook messenger that does it and I've realised it's when you get the "xxxx xxxx is now active" notifications that appear in the spot where the status bar is supposed to be. Has no one figured out how to fix it?

You could always lower the dpi of the screen to something below 480.
AOD is a common issue which is miui issue and I don't think there's a work around.
The icons situation won't be available until android pie of miui10 is released. You'll need to wait till end of 2018 or beginning of 2019.
