Picture in Picture Bug - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Try watching a YouTube video or use Google maps with picture in picture enabled then try to change apps via recents button or tapping a notification. For me on the US unlocked Note 9 whenever I do this it reduces to picture in picture but goes to the home screen instead of switching to whatever app selected from recents or notification. If I turn off PIP in the app settings it behaves normally. And the Note 8 does not do this for me. Anyone else getting this result?

I just tried it with YouTube. It worked just fine for me. I'm on the N960F (Exynos) though. But at least I can confirm it doesn't appear to be ALL Note 9 devices. Perhaps it's a Snapdragon issue, or something that's just impacting U.S. models (for some reason). Or maybe it's just your phone. [emoji53]

Can you recommend automatic (time intervals) screen capture application

Hi. I have Galaxy tab A 8.0 that is running Lollipop 5.0.2 The device is rooted. I need to find an application that can take screenshots every 60 sec. It needs to run in a background without any notifications or icons in notification area. There is an app called Screenshot Ultimate - I tried it and it makes only black pics. Maybe there is similar screen video recorders? Let me know.

The messaging app that you want to work with edge lighting, does it not show up in the list of apps that you want notifications for edge lighting? It's not limited to stock or Samsung apps. Or do you have the app enabled & the edge notification doesn't work for it?

Go to edge light settings. Open allowed apps tab. Find your app there.
Slightly off topic, does edge lighting even work properly with screen off?

Just wanted to mention that I had the same results with the Verizon messaging app. That and I wasn't getting half of the notifications that I should have been getting. I like the app, but ended up going with the samsung message app instead. It works better for notifications and edge lighting.

Ah shucks.. That bites.. Lol.. Well, at least I know it's not anything I'm doing wrong.. I have been using the stock app, but I send a lot of pictures, and the stock one is terrible for sending pictures, at least on mine with its size restraints.. I can only send a single picture at a time..
But yes the stock one works flawlessly in my experience so far (save, sending pictures)... Lol

In the edge settings, look for advance setting. Make the width to wide. On defaultit can narrow that might be the cause of no lighting. You can different colors too.
The edge lightning also work with third party apps (like e.g. whatsapp or telegram) while screen is off. But only when you activate pop-up notifications into that apps. I think these third party apps using a different notification management that don't support the edge lightning trigger

Yes, that makes sense because I did enable pop up notifications.. It may be something in that particular app that doesn't work right with the pop ups.

wish facebook messanger would work with edge lighting.. i see snapchat works fine idk why fb messanger wont i dont like stock messanger tho
At beginning i also was annoyed because it don't work with third party apps.
But with screen on it works pretty good and now these ugly heads up notifications are beautiful small notifications while screen is on.
And while screen off, I would see the edge lightning only when I have the phone in front of me (e.g. on table)
Because it's only lightning a few seconds. That's why we have the led. Much more useful.
And as visual notification I have enabled "flash notification" in:
Settings - accessibility - hearing where it use the camera flash for notifications from all apps. That works great and you also can see it if you have your phone into your pocket.

So with screen off nothing happen?
I'm on oreo. Edge lighting seems to work fine for me. Just have to turn it on for "all apps" or maybe just the ones you want.

camera app changed?

Something happened to my camera app, not exactly sure when. The desktop icon changed. And it is no longer linked to google photos... also in google photos I don't find a setting to add a direct connection. So maybe google photos changed (also)? Can someone confirm or explain this? Am I missing something? Swiping to the left used to get me into google photos and review pictures right after they were taken. Now swiping just moves between mode selection, camera and video. I am running Oreo 8.0 Feb.1 patch on a rooted US AndroidOne X4
The camera app just updated.
And now it no longer couples to google photos? That's some improvement...
there is some problem in video recording mode for 1080p60fps
normal and wide angle icons works in opposite way
if u press on wide angle icon, u get narrow field of view
and if u press normal icon, u get a little wide field of view

AOD/ambient notifications question

I'm thinking of getting either a Note 9 or an S10 to replace my Pixel 2 XL. Been searching for some info about how screen-off notifications are handled but haven't been able to find it, hoping someone here will help me out. Last time I owned a Samsung device (S8+), I found I didn't like the way the always-on display was utilised as much as I like it on Google devices. Wondering if it's changed with more recent Samsung UIs. When the screen is off (but AOD is on), what happens when a new notification comes in? Does it wake the screen, does the notification show in an "ambient" version like on stock Android, or do you just see the icon and not get the text at all? And, since I'll have the exynos version and have the bootloader unlocked, is there a way to enable the ambient behaviour if it's not stock? Thanks!
I have mine set to not show, I been meaning to get that working so I'll try to get some screenshot tonight and post!
Hopefully maybe someone else will also!

Huawei P30 Pro Features - Question?

Hi!
Does the Huawei P30 Pro have the following features:
- Always On Display with ALL 3rd party notifications?
- Double-tap to sleep from home AND lockscreen
- Double-tap to wake from Always On Display
Thank you!
Yes the AOD supports all 3rd party notifications as long as they appear on the status bar. There are exceptions to this, for 'silent' notifications that only appear when you pull the bar down.
I don't believe that it supports double tap in any way, shape or form. With regards to tap-to-sleep this wouldn't work as the double-tap gesture is used to take a screenshot.
Double tap to wake from AOD is not supported either, however if you have fingerprint unlock it is kinda 'one-tap-to-wake' as you place your finger on the fingerprint scanner and the screen comes on.

Good to know about 3rd party notification on the AOD. Do the icons stay on the AOD even if you wake the phone up, but do not act on those notifications?
I'm asking because the way Xiaomi Mi 9 handles this is a complete mess.
Thank you!

No. When you unlock the phone (even if you don't dismiss the notifications) the icons will disappear from the AOD until another notification from the same app comes through.
For example, if you have a whatsapp message and unlock the phone the WA icon will disappear from the AOD until you receive another WA message.
EDIT: The exception to this is persistent notifications. For example I have VPN Unlimited. If this is connected then the icon remains. Likewise with WhatsApp Web notification, that remains.

Ah. I see. What an odd implementation. Xiaomi did the same thing. Good to know.
Are you happy with your Huawei? I'd mostly get it because of the camera.

To each their own, but I think it makes perfect sense. If I have unlocked the device then I am aware of the notifications - they don't get removed from the phone, just the AOD. Much in the same way a notification LED would handle it on a Samsung or other device. I would, if I could, get rid of the persistent notifications on the AOD, but other than that I don't mind.
Am I happy with the Huawei? In a way, yes. I got it for the camera and I am very impressed with it, unless you wish to shoot video. If you want to shoot video (with special mention of super-slow-motion videos) then you should look to get a different device - In my opinion.
The still photography is better than pretty much any other phone that I've ever used or come across and the night-time photography is also excellent. Video wise the panning stutters a little, the slow motion is purely interpolation (the sensor only captures 240fps, not 960 as it claims) and the colours in video seem... unrealistic. Sometimes too soft, sometimes too vivid. It's good, but not as good as others on the market for video.
Hello all,
I'm currently in China and would like to buy a P30 (Pro) and use it in Europe / Germany.
Are there different hardware specs (e. G. Lte bands) except for the obvious memory and storage options?
Thank you very much ?
