First let me apologize if this is not the correct location on the forum to post this. I by am no means looking to bash the phone just had some questions that maybe some people may be able to help me with. I understand this is not Touchwiz so it is different, and these are very minor issues nothing that I could not learn to adjust to.
1) Notification drop down. Though I do like the "gesture" style notification drop down. Before I could use the finger print scanner to drop down to notification tab is there another shortcut way to make this happen similar to the finger print way on the S8+? I may be able to do in in Nova but will need to mess with it to figure it out.
2) Brightness bar. Does anyone know how to get the brightness bar to possible show up in the notification without it being pulled down all the way?
3) Home button. I can't seem to find a way to press the home button when in a full screen game app. Meaning prior I was able to press the location and then it would still work. Now I have to swipe up to show the nav bar and then press it.
4)LTE+ This is one isn't a complaint just a question about since I got the unlocked instead of Verizon it shows LTE+ vs 4G doing a quick search it seems to be ok just wanted some clarification.
Other then those few things I noticed over all I am happy the phone is a lot quick and better then my previous. Though at the same time nothing super new to really "wow" me I was already more then happy with the S8+ and the S10+ is a very good evolution. The hole punch is really not as bad as some others may have feared. The finger print does take a little time to get used to but seems to work about 85% success mostly do to slightly off placement. Having the extra cameras is great and so far a nice upgrade from my S8+. Again not really complaining but maybe there is toggle that I may have missed that could have fixed my little issues.
1. Use the swipe down gesture in nova launcher to pull it down, not as nice as FP sensor gesture i know :/
2. You can do this by checking the setting for 'Show Control on Top' when you expand the brightness control
3. If you are using the gestures for navigation you would swipe from where the home button would be if it were held in portrait, so typically on the right when gaming. just play with it.

Thanks, I actually used an an BX actions to remap the button on my S8+ decided to pay for the full feature and now I mapped it to drop down notifications so thats all set. Thanks found the control option by clicking on the arrow. As for my third the more I use both pbones it might be good to swipe up for the buttom. No more accidental presses when in full screen. So it looks like the phones grade is moving up ?. Thanks for the reply.
Pull down the notification all the way. Next to the brightness bar you will see a little down arrow, press that and there it is.

Oh, this is good to know. This is one of the reasons I switch launchers. I'm so used to swipe up anywhere for apps and down anywhere for notifications. This is even more natural to me than the fingerprint reader swipe, but of course the fingerprint reader let you do it in any app which is a big difference.
As for #4 since no one answered, the unlocked version is just being more specific. The US carriers usually replace the specific technology type (LTE, LTE+, etc) with generic "4G" branding (or 5GE if you're a jackass).
I just paid for full BXActions and I was able to remap bixby to double tap to drop the notification. Before I was happy with the free version but deff worth the extra few bucks. I can map more tap types.

Tried a few things but not the worst preamblem. Another issue I wish they could fix is vibrate when the thumbprint is accepted vs vibrate when you miss. Ehhh just little complaints. ?* getting more comfort with the phone, though at the same time curious to see the folding Razer

I just followed your lead cflip2x and paid for the full version of BXActions and it's (obviously) ideal for this phone. Struggling to attach a single tap action to the bixby button though since whatever I try only seems to activate on a double tap. I need to find the right forum to discuss that issue but it's a great app.

In Nova Beta 6.1 you don't need Tesla anymore, there is an option in the notification which uses the default Pie notification (numbered) system. Starting tomorrow Tesla won't be available on Playstore due to Google new restrictions.

Just thought I'd pass this along. Before the NS, I used the hell out of "Extended Controls" ... Sadly, most of the toggles I would have liked to use do not work with the NS (2.3 compatibility issue?). Emailed the dev and got responses right away saying it will be updated next week. Next week came and gone ... came and gone again. Dev is probably behind with RL stuff so sooner or later it will be updated. In the mean time, I found an awesome alternative with more features ... and its free.
Widgetsoid2.X
Highly customizable power control widget ... and can even be configured to add a power control widget from your notification bar drop down.
Yeah I really like widgetsoid. Since cm team still hasn't got the flashlight working I use its flashlight widget inside the notification bar. Works great.

ohh that's a nice find
Odd. Both my wife and I use extended controls fine. I find if you restore it via Titanium, it doesn't work but if you do a fresh install of it, everything functions great. Good find though.

The widget isn't really not put in the notification bar. It puts the image of your widget there but when you click on a power control it brings up the power control in an overlay of your screen where you then select which power control you want to turn on/off. For me (not short on screen space) its no quicker than using regular widget on the screen.
thanks! I've been using extended controls even though it wasn't fully operational w/gingerbread. Just dl'ed widgetzoid and bluetooth works! Liking the vertical option too..
I was really impressed by Widgetsoid and its developer 2 weeks ago. I found a bug, emailed the dev, and got a response in like an hour. Within like 2 hours of emailing him, he tracked down the bug and incorporated a fix into the next release. Now that's service.
we reported it a while ago
http://www.mobiflip.de/2011/01/andr...-benachrichtigungsleiste-einfach-nachruesten/
(p.s. google translate is your friend )
The thing I really like is how easy it is to edit existing widgets. Saves a lot of time if you just want to add or remove something from a power control type bar
the app is good, no doubt, but it's a major pain in the back to configure
some options are no longer available after you hit apply
so if you ever want to change them again, you can't (for example the invisible option, there are a few more that are no longer accessible after it was saved)
and the only alternative is to delete it, and create a new one

Guess that's why I'm sticking with extended controls. Profiles are so easy to edit.
but once you master this App, it's a big treasure chest!
once everything was properly setup and configure, it easily replaced 7+ apps
TeslaLED
tons of On/Off Widgets
Ace Volume
Battery info
crap load of other ones i uninstalled
i setup 4 rows, maybe gonna add 1 more for 5 rows for Apps
that's the nice thing about this app, you can create custom shortcuts to make it launch your most used apps, from the Notification area
i simply love it

The dev answered my question and implemented my suggestion!
PS: No problem with applying profile. And if you do have, just email the dev, he will answer and fix.
are you guys able to enable/disable Data with Widgetsoid 2.x on Nexus S using Gingerbread 2.3.. (unrooted?).
Most items work, but this one does not toggle Mobile Data on/off on my phone. I dunno if this is a security limitation right now with this OS.

Yeah I noticed this too. Was a shame, cause this is the main reason I was after this. I guess this functionality of directly enabling/disabling from the task bar cannot be enabled in stock roms without direct framework changes.

Hi,
Widgetsoid need root only for the reboot toggle
For the data on Nexus S just restaur your apn, check your data is enable and go to global preferences of widgetsoid and check "disable all apn".
Now it have to work.

Android don't allow event on notifications it's an android limitation not an widgetsoid error/limitation.
On HTC rom it's works directly because HTC have modify android source code to allow this. HTC users are lucky. Next version have an option to disable popup after click on notification.
Just finished publishing zMooth gesture app in android market, it will allow you to use gestures to mimic back, home, menu and power (Pro version) hardware keys.
I wrote this app to be unobtrusive by using minimum amount of screen space but at the same time be very easy and intuitive to use. If you use for couple of days you will understand how easy it is to use.
after you install the app you will see a blue area at the bottom of the screen, swipe left on this area to go back, swipe right for menu and gesture a up-arrow(^) for home.
I highly suggest that you try using different gesture length and speed, it is very sensitive at default settings.
I picked the gestures which will have least conflict/collision so that when you gesture you don't have to worry that it might fire the wrong action. The aim was to make them error resistant and build user confidence in gesturing.
you don't have to do complete swipe or draw arrow symbol correctly, just a small quick gesture will work.
The swipes don't have to be perfectly horizontal, you can do them at an angle.
Small swipe/gesture will also work, they don't have to do be as long as they were shown in screenshots.
I didn't pick any complicated gestures because back, home and menu should be achievable with out giving a second thought, after couple of days the fingers should move with least effort and finger flexion and MUST be easier than pressing buttons.

Need help or something is not working?
Support is built-in to the app, "Preferences->Help" will resolve most issues. If not resolved just contact me through "Preferences->Help->Contact Support" and I will be happy to resolve any issues. You can also use browser for FAQ / Common Issues for more info.

Sorry for the quality, I never posted videos of phone screen's before, didn't know how difficult it is to capture these screen's on video.
Omg! I was dreaming about app like this
This is my second HD2, and I'm a little paranoic about using screen-off and back key
Big thx.
Hmmm, I can't set Display Height below 20. If I set less than 20, turn off the app, this always back to 20 value.
Secondly, would be great to able to set position of the bar (not only the bottom).
klusek1985: I personally never turn off the app so never noticed it. I set min as 20 so people don't accidentally make it too small. is 20 being too obtrusive? what lcd_density are you using?.
going to sleep will be back tomorrow sometime.
I use HD2, so it is WVGA. Density is 240 (NexusOne rom)
Imo 20 value is too large for me. Maybe you can unlock full spectrum of values able to set ?
I understand an option like change color of bar etc. will be avaible on future versions ?
Again, good work
Great job man!!! I always think pressing the back button is a very extra movement... and you just save the world!!! ha ha.... thanks man for your effort! Appreciate it. I think this app is cool...
First impression is really good, I would like to see some features as:
- Ability to move the zone to anywhere on the display
- change the colour of the zone / change colour of gesture draw
- make the zone / gesture draw transparent (top priority reqeust from me )
- set the size of the "popup" box / disable bigger box?
- disable draw area if application X is running (like widgetlocker - dont need this nice app when the screen is locked) (high priority for me again )
- maybe later, add custom draws? draw a square and launch application X
If these feature will come in the future... well what should I say, that would be awesome
Really nice!
Edit: Cant find it on market yet
Edit2: Bug found:
When chaning the height I have to reenable the app otherwise I get an error "error executing gesture, please restart app"
Sometimes also happens when device gets into standby and wakes up.. (need to confirm)
Was planning some of the features you mentioned already. Thanks for feedback. App is in market now, updated the OP.
I installed from Market, and I can set 10 (size) now
Thanks for this work, it's usefull, but i've a problem with the height, i want 10, in setting it says 10, but when i do the first gesture on my home, it come back with 50 of height, and in setting, it show me 10 ???
P.S: in green, my home would be happy

I will try fixing the height issue today. (hopefully I will get some free time at work).
It's like a dream come true! Thank you! Please keep updating this!
This is really handy!
But I would like to have home on gesture up, instead of having to draw an arrow.
Left:back
right:menu
up:home
Heck, if there's time. Why not let us create ur own gestures for app-launching ect?
And transparancy would be nice, but I see that's already been suggested.
Even if you decide not to do this, I think I'll keep this app on my phone.

you don't have to really draw the complete arrow (or left/right swipe), just do quick gesture up and down. up arrow is like home symbol(like roof of your house).
try to decrease length/time of gesture and see how sensitive and easy it is. I put long lines in screen shots just to show for beginners.
version 1.0.4 pushed to market, hopefully fixes height issues that you guys are having.
Thanks for the update, now, i can have height on 10 ...
Sorry, but in green, it's possible ?
Great application, fast and smooth. Only I can't lock on sense rom...
Very nice app. Just one suggestion. Isn't it more intuitive to swipe up to access menu? Usually the menu will slide up from bottom of screen so I think it's more natural to swipe up?
Awesome App, i was tired of pressing the home button on my hd2.
On an hd2 running typhoons 3.0.1
^ goes to home screen
Left does nothing
Right brings up the menu
Zmooth 1.04
ya since menu slides up gesture should be slide up, you can actually slide up inclined as shown in below screenshot to pull up the menu.
I picked the gestures which will have least conflict/collision so that when you gesture you don't have to worry that it might fire the wrong action. The aim was to make them error resistant and dependable.

There are a lot of requests for status bar hiding widgets or apps. So you just start the application when you need to hide status bar (for example before browsing or gaming). You don't lock your device in the middle of gaming.
In my opinion it is still better than all other bar hiding apps (and I'm talking about free version of my app). You have to click something in all of them (and here you click - start app). Just in my app you have the opportunity to control your tablet while bar is hidden.
But if you think this version is useless, I value your opinion.

I'm developing on 7.7 myself, so it is tested well on it.
You don't get any error messages, notifications on gestures nothing? Does the last button in settings screen (Status bar toggle) works (hides/unhides) status bar?
I'm now using this and works brilliant. Finding the swipe gestures to suit me. Hiding and unhiding status bar no lag. Keep up the good work. Bought full version.

I will add setting to turn off toast message on unlock (when tutorial mode is switched off). However free version will stay for occational use. Application contains a lot of native code that will need support with new versions/devices. And the application is niche anyway. I really tried using this version myself and I find it usefull, but you can propose different model, I'm open for ideas.

Well, there are other apps for this (HideBar - free, Honeybar - 1$), my intention is to evolve the gesture part. Allow to create your own gestures and define your own actions.
Any chance of making the gestures more like the ipad? E.g. 5 finger pinch to home? Its a more natural closing type gesture imo

Changed gestures to multitouch (see first post).
Also fixed a bug that I think prevented actions from working on some devices.
Excellent, thanks!
I just bought it and it recognises my gestures fine but it stopped doing anything after the first gesture?
It still pops up with home etc but doesnt do the action.
If i open the gesture app and disable and reenable the service again it works for one action and stops again
Threads like this are well known in other forums such as Nexus, Sony, HTC etc (even in other forums like gtaforums, etc)
The goal of this is to post these little features or curiosities that makes our lifes a bit easier while using the Note 4.
I will start:
-If you recive a priority notification such as Whatsapp, SMS, lost call or an e-mail, if you pick up your device while is standing in a flat surface (a table, for example) and the screen is turned off, the phone will make two soft vibrations, remembering you to turn on the screen and view these notifications. (Kitkat and Lollipop)
Feel free to post your contributions to this thread and help people to enable these features if they ask.
Cheers!
Awesome thread

Instead of swiping and registering 3 fingers 10 times (10swipes/finger) I would say swipe and register 3*10 = 30 different fingers. well you only got 10, so register 10 and reregister fingers/orientations you tend to use more.
PS: the fingerprint scanner is still very accurate with 1 swipe registered/finger, orientation is the key...even if you register a finger 10 times...you miss the orientations, you miss the unlock chance.
Have fun
Found it today, I don't know if already have been posted before. If you set brightness on auto you can adjust the automatic of it , normal it is at 5 and the sliding bar is at middle. Hard to explain just try it yourself.
Here a screenshot

Auto brightness will get your screen brighter than manual if ya under the sun.
so under sun switch to auto to see ur screen clearly , this in most galaxies not just note 4
You can adjust autobrightness from 0-10 with 5 the normal value when you set autobrightness on first time.
Capture pictures buy saying: Smile, Shoot, Capture or Cheese. One of my favorite features. This way you can put the phone in a place and shout from afar to take group pictures and as many pictures as you like, unlike with self timer. Very useful during night shots too so your hands wont move and make the photo blurry.
Some don't have it in camera settings though, depending on their region i think, but most ROMs do have it.
When u swipe down with two finger you have side key panel if somebody finds difficult to go for home button or back button while using phone

useful thread
in some apps, including 3rd party apps, dragging diagonally from the top right or top left corner will turn it into a floating window.
under settings/application settings/call/personalize call sound/go to settings
you can configure "adapt sound"
this feature creates a very detailed stereo equalizer profile that can be used together with other equalizer settings.
the first time you open this settings page it will go through a beep test to test the range of both your ears, and both your earbuds/headphone shells.
it will then adjust the sound output to cover any flaws/defects in your headphones and ears.
slide over any bit of selectable text with your S-Pen while holding the button and it will select the text.
in most web browsers you can trigger "mouse-over" effects and menus by hovering over them with the S-Pen.
this makes some desktop pages useable while they won't work for other touch devices.

the dragging from a corner was one i did by accident a few times, but never figured out how to actually do it.
again, this thread has proven awesome. people bag out touchwiz for being bloated, but goddamn does it have a lot of hidden away features.
I love having it in Atlas (web browser made by tliebeck)
I can compare paypal pending payments with my bank app, or look up things like where settings are located while keeping my browser open.
Is this a lollipop setting

Hi,
I got my P30 Pro couple of days ago, so far everything is pretty smooth, but one thing really bothers me:
The sensitivity of the bottom right corner; I'm using SwiftKey with no dedicated emoji key (=you have to long press the enter key), and 3 times out of 4 it doesn't take the long press.
And my long press duration is 200ms...
Anyone having the same issue??
I think the corners are less sensitive by default to prevent accidental touches. Due to it having a curved screen, it's easy to activate app icons on the bottom left and right with your palm. On my s10 plus, i always accidentally launch apps which are situated in the bottom right. Never had this issue on the p30 pro so i guess it's better this way.

I have an emoji key on SwiftKey.
Look down to the left of space bar.
Maybe it is due to your theme or setup.
Plus when I type stuff it offers emoji too.

7:50 I think we all have the same problem I check it I have less sensitivi on bottom center and it works fine when You turn on in "programer mode" show touch and 1 more option to show data about touch when You turn it on touch start work fine. Can You check it ?
I am having screen sensitivity issues in general with this phone, i am finding i am having to press the home button a few times for it to register sometimes and also when i unlock the phone when i have notifications, i am sometimes having to press the notifications a few times before they open also.
I am using still on firmware .124 so not sure if when i get an update if it will fix that?

I'm on 153 and it's not better
screen sensitivity on my P30 pro is great, even with the tempered glass on.

I posted a similar topic, but got no response. Mine seems to be unresponsive on the bottom left part.

Hi Shaunydub,
Thank you, It's indeed the way i set up my keyboard, but it's done on purpose, I've always used SwiftKey like this and I'm used to it.
But I guess, I will eventually have to switch to the dedicated key...
As far as Emoji suggestions, it's a different option, I have that too

I didn't notice it on the left side as the only long press I'm using is on the right side. But I guess it is the same...
I'm pretty sure it's indeed a software prevention for not activating button while holding the device, but yes my question was more does it bother someone else than me?
I don't remember the version I got from the box but yes updating to 153 didn't change anything for that...

It didn't happen before.... started happening roughly around 2-3 weeks ago, and it's the same on 153.
Does it improve if you disable the feature 'Accidental touches' or whatever it's called. It could be worth a try..

If you're talking about "Mistouch prevention", unfortunately it doesn't help as it's only blocking the screen to be turned on when the proximity sensor detects something like when it's in your pocket.
