Hi , @mweinbach
Hi guys,
After reading this article from Max on XDA (Article link)
it says the following :
Led notification :
Samsung made the bezels so thin and so small, they had to remove some hardware features, which unfortunately includes the notification LED. According to a member of the SamCentral Discord server who already has the Samsung Galaxy S10+, the notification LED is replaced by a ring of light around the camera cutout. This ring of light will change colors and light depending on the notifications. The front camera will also show a white ring around it while the camera is in use. This is a neat privacy feature that reminds me of Android Q.

Bixby Button:
Thanks to Samsung for actually listening to consumers, the Bixby button is finally remappable without needing a third-party app. It can be remapped to a bunch of different features like opening apps or the camera. While I didn’t have a chance to check the specific features, The Verge reports that you can actually use it to open Google Assistant. Samsung has changed this from a Bixby button to more of a utility button.

I can't find a way to enable the Led "Camera" Notification, i get email and messages but no led ... anyone knows if there is a trick to make it work?
and
I don't have the option to reconfigure the Bixby button. I Only have two choices : Bixby>settings>bixby key 1. Press once to open Bixby 2. press twice to open bixby. I don't have the same settings as the picture in the article.
An update has come out today that lets you remap the Bixby button
Am i missing something?
Thanks beforehand for your replies
I'm on a G975F/DS

ASBA came out some days ago, don't remember when it updated on my side. But the update that they are referring to is :
1. Going to be the march patch + led
Or
2. Or a mini update like I got for bixby and finger scanner individualy
Or
3. Full update hopefully including camera bokeh effect fix, camera speed, various small issues and also including the led notification.

As you can see I did search this topic...can't even find an answer on google. Which worries me...
Often, I'll swipe down from the notification bar which turns the app I'm viewing, if capable, into a multi window view. This is incredibly annoying. Coming from the Note 4, there was a quick toggle (or in settings) to turn this off. I can not seem to find how to turn this function off with the S6. Any help out there?
I was just going to post the same question How the hell do you turn off that annoying multi view crap?
I wanna know this as well and how do I turn off the lightof the back and the cent button also?

I found the new MultiWindow gesture pretty annoying. On my S6 every time I swept down on the notification bar using one hand I'd always create a floating window. On other Galaxy devices there is a Quick Toggle to turn the MultiWindow feature off/on. The ability to control the feature is still in the S6 however it is not exposed in the user interface. I wrote a small application that can either enable/disable MultiWindow or bring back the MultiWindow Quick Toggle. It was primarily written for the Galaxy S6 however it should work on most of the devices that include Samsung's MultiWindow. Look for "MultiWindow Toggle for Samsung" on the Play Store.

Has anyone tried out the Good Lock App?
I red about it on Android Police (I'm not allowed to post links, so just google "Good Lock Android Police"), and it works flawlessly until the next reboot, it will uninstall itself. Because the app seems to be rather new, I didn't find a solution yet.
As far as I know from other reviews it works on the S7/S7 edge without any problems.
So yeah, anyone tried it, encountered the same problem, maybe found a solution?
Some screenshots of the app: (Imgur.com) /a/DaFWj
I tried on my s6 and it works fine like on the s7 but i didnt tried for long time though because i didnt like yet that much.

Just got the note 8 yesterday and been messing around with it. I'm coming from the Note4 with Note7 software. I think I have a pretty decent setup. I'm taking advantage of the always on screen. I use it like a lock screen. So I disabled the lock screen. I long-press the home screen to unlock the phone its pretty awesome. Or double tap the notifications to go directly to them, without swiping again.
I wanted to create this discussion so ppl can share their shortcuts and little efficiencies so everybody can enjoy them.

Update: So I lied I assumed there would be notifications on the AOD screen with the lockscreen off but unfortunately there are no more notifications on AOD without the lock screen that's silly

I like it a lot but in my opinion the curve screen does not improve anything and is unnecessary, it just looks good. Typing on it takes getting used to. The q & p keys are on the edge and it's a little weird to press them and long press them.
The phone was super hard to handle with one hand without the Samsung military grade rugged case. It's a long phone. With the case it's thicker and more manageable. Having the case on it also makes it harder to touch the edge of the screen by accident when using one hand.
Really not a fan of the curve screen as you can see lol. But other than that the phone is perfect.
I wish they had an option to disable the edges or something.
You planning on getting it?

Click on recent button, long press the app of choice, and drag it in the pop-up window square to make the app a pop up window quickly. Or you can enable the multi-window setting to diagonal swipe from the top right of the screen to make the app a pop up window.
In the sound settings you can choose apps to default to a specific output channel. I find this useful for using Google maps while playing music. I have maps defaulting to phones speakers. I think it is working lol but it still lowers the music volume when maps is talking. It doesn't seem to blast the annoying gps voice over my music that I was playing loud.[emoji108]

That's a feature that was available via the much more feature-rich Action Memo that was included with S Note on pre-N7 models. So while it's a new feature from the perspective that it's a new app, it's a crappy app in comparison.

I didn't have the Note 7, only the S8+, but I do not recall if this feature (below) was on the S8+ or a previous device.
While in the app drawer, and I scrolled up to the top of the list, I then swipe within the drawer downward (but not from the top) and a popup comes up showing me a list of apps that were are frequently used, recently used and those that were new/updated. Pretty cool.
I had a note 7 last year and I am coming from a s7 edge so I'm sure I have some new things to learn as well
Hey I have a question for the Note 8 owners here. I read earlier last week that you could touch and swipe left/right the home button when its hidden to go back / activate recent, and then regular force touch to go home. Is this a legit gesture, or is there an app that can enable such a thing?
I would absolutely love if I could ditch the nav bar entirely and get DAT space.

Np happy to help!
Also!!
"Nav bar Apps" in the play store let's you apply a static color to your nav bar in every app! There is a flash of white when it launches an app where it is supposed to be white but I dont mind that. It looks like the app can do other things but I just wanted to make it black at all times! Exactly what I wanted.
If you go into the settings you can change the color change animation to fade. That is the smoothest animation with barely any white flash.

My OP setup is obsolete!!! There is a setting in in the display>navigation bar settings. See picture

Okay guys.
Just got the official Pie update and it seems that a couple of features are missing.
First, long press "recent button" to split screen in two. (When using full screen gestures), like, there is no way to get another app while listening to YT with screen gestures.
Also, "swipe fast to right" to switch to the last recent app is not working when "Gesture Hints" are hidden
Also, I cannot make apps go into the "Window mode", like swiping from the top will not minimize apps, it will just throw notification bar.
Am I perhaps missing something here?
All that you've mentioned are missing and very annoying.

No, I found these, I just don't feel like swiping and tapping 5 times to get split screen instead of one single long tap.
I thought that split screen or at least previous app would be long swipe to the top, like with home button when you can activate Google assistant.
I just hope that they will bring that option in the near future.
I really miss fast switching to the previous app.

Sadly, samsung implemented a multiwindow close to how google do it and killed their great android versions multitasking ability. It's really not only annoying, but strange why they removed something that they were praised for in android 7 and 8 and before. At this point I better get an iphone as the multitasking is the same (irony).
To show you how rushed (and this sound even funnier given how much time they had) the android 9 is, I will just tell you that you can swipe home-hold and it will run google assistant (like the older home button hold). It's like common sense that they could had done that to recents too - swipe up and hold for instant split screen, but nope, they didn't. Never mis triggered the assistant when going home, so this is not the reason.
Also they removed the menu between two split screen apps, so if you want to switch their places (for example youtube and viber so you can watch the video that is on the bottom while typing) - touch luck b*tch, now you need to close both and open again in the right order rofl (also there was popout there in the same menu). They removed so many key functionalities on a phone promoted BY THEM for multitasking and staying on oreo is not an option for obvious many reasons.
Edit: also the exynos note 9 drop frames in the UI like it did @ oreo if not worse (after it's settled down)... so you got also that.
Issue that i have is in settings, security if i deactivate the Find my Device option, when i restart my phone the option has been reactivated. Also sometimes the full screen gestures so working.

Okay guys.
Just got the official Pie update and it seems that a couple of features are missing.
First, long press "recent button" to split screen in two. (When using full screen gestures), like, there is no way to get another app while listening to YT with screen gestures.
Also, "swipe fast to right" to switch to the last recent app is not working when "Gesture Hints" are hidden
Also, I cannot make apps go into the "Window mode", like swiping from the top will not minimize apps, it will just throw notification bar.
Am I perhaps missing something here?

Which Note 9 do you have? I believe it's not the US Ver.?

No, I found these, I just don't feel like swiping and tapping 5 times to get split screen instead of one single long tap.
I thought that split screen or at least previous app would be long swipe to the top, like with home button when you can activate Google assistant.
I just hope that they will bring that option in the near future.
I really miss fast switching to the previous app.

I took advice from another XDA user*: I installed an app called Edge Gestures https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.edgegestures which is helpful in restoring a fast switch back / split screen method.

Yeah sorry Samsung but your one ui is garbage, looks horrible and I can't stand looking at this navigation bar everywhere, no auto hide option at all now? I switch to the gestures option instead but swipe up for recents doesn't work at all. Also no update to their own good lock app and without that my phone looks even more like trash lol The notification panel is horrible, just a big white block with some blue buttons, my good lock one was so nice, also back to the boring old task switcher I was looking forward to this update so much, but it looks like arse...

It's not.
It's international n960f Exynos version, but anyway there should not be any difference in the software itself.

There is also a workaround with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid
It's even more prettier, but to be honest, I'm tired of using ADB, rooting and so on.
I had note 2 and note 4, rocking custom roms since beginning, but now I just want everything to be original, and logical.
I have no clue what the f were they doing while in beta, I mean, come on, no fast switching to the previous app if screen gestures are hidden.
*Amazing*

Feature and productivity wise it's really a big downgrade. Also those notifications that take the whole screen... seriously. No thought put at all. All is done considering galaxy s10, I am sure of that... and especially nothing was done considering the note 9, even the rounded corners are matched for the s9 rofl.
Only things that a peeving me on Pie is the fact that I have never in my life used Duo or installed it but in my settings/accounts it shows Duo, I remove it but after rebooting phone its back??? that and the inability to deactivate Find my Device, I deactivate it, but after rebooting phone its reactivated again... any ideas (maybe with ADB to sort these 2 issues out?)

...and how long are you planning on staying on Oreo? Was considering the same but a kind user on here advised against it? Particularly security threats...
screen flickering when calling
Hello guys!
I have updated to one ui on my international galaxy note 9
I have an issue, the screen flickers when I make a call, it's very annoying, anyone facing this?
thank you for sharing information <3 :good:
Does anyone know what this is? Can't seem to find what it does?
It excludes the app from being closed if you hit the close all button.

When I hit the close all button it disappears though. I've been thinking about ODINing pie to my phone. I OTA updated and then factory reset. Stuff doesn't seem right, like my alarm screen doesn't have the increasing ringtone option anymore either... Any thoughts? Does yours stay in the recents?

From what I was able to research, the gradual volume increase is missing from the Samsung Clock app. There appears to be different settings for each category on the vertical 3 dot menu. I have seen suggestions to install the Google clock app but YMMV.
I just tried again with locking the app and it does stay when I hit close all. When I check the recents afterward, the only app that appears is the one I locked with the lock symbol in the bottom right corner.
Another friendly question. Do you have any idea why the pen doesn't work with some apps? I've noticed 2 for sure. One is free the other was paid. Evolution of Species 2 and Excapist 2. Neither will work with the pen remote settings on or off. I figured the pen would produced the same affect as the finger...
Best I can gather is that some apps are coded specifically for touch input. If I'm understanding correctly, the pen is considered direct input which is different than touch. I found an old Reddit thread that might explain it better...

About setting for volume increase in clock app. That setting has been removed and that auto increase is now done automatically.
I checked with Samsung about it and they confirmed that setting was removed and that volume auto increases as default now. In android pie
