Hey all.
Recently (like a week ago or so) I started seeing ads in my notification bar... it has an icon which is a white star with a red dot in the middle. The last one I got said "College degrees available" and when I clicked it... it brought me to gameloft.com (first time seeing this site)
Any ideas? It's not that much of a nuisance, but I'm just afraid of spyware and such.
I didn't install any new apps (at least I don't think), but did update my apps.
Thanks.
next time, press and hold the ad in the notification bar. Then a pop up should appear which brings you to the App info. there you can disable notifications for the app. This should help.
Or you just go to the app info directly if you know which app causes this.

you are right, I don't tought about this, thanks.
You may want to try an app like Airpush Detector to find what apps are giving you these adds.

One star the app and leave a comment saying they are spamming the notification bar, devs should be discouraged to using these types of ads. I have no problem with paying a dollar (or a few if needed) or seeing in app ads, but ads being displayed on the home screen or notification bar from an app is unacceptable.

This. No app should have that sort of crap in them.

I second this app. Try it to find out the culprit and let others know in the market review.

Hello experts,
Is there a way to leave an App "on top" of the display of SWR50 until it is dismissed/closed?
So that, even if you lock the screen, when you set it on again, you still can see the App without recalling it back.

I'd like to know if this is possible as well. I used Keep to show a shopping list but it was annoying to have to open keep in Wear Launcher every time the screen turned off.
I think that this is possible, but it must be implemented into app (keep is on of best candidate for this).
Because app Wear Mini Launcher works exactly as we want. When is opened, my SW3 is not switched back to watchface and I still see app icons.

Bubble launcher may do what you want. It has a sticky app function.

Thanks: it works, but I must admit that the launcher is a bit too fuzzy for me.
A simple option to have "sticky app" option would be great!
Having a S6 Edge since its launch I decided to take advantage of the edge screen with all the existing notification packs I developed for my apps (3C Toolbox and co).
This allows displaying all kind of battery and system information on the edge screen optionally with a graph, including battery mA, mV, %, temperature, CPU temperature, load, frequency as well as memory and network loads.
1- Download the main app
To take advantage of those, you will need to install one of the following apps:
- 3C Toolbox to display any information
- System Tuner to display only system information
- Battery Monitor Widget to display battery information
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=3c
2- Download individual packs
Then, you will have to download the individual pack (from app settings, notifications, notifications packs).
3- Activate individual packs
Simply go to Samsung edge screen feed configuration and enable the desired feed.
4 - Configure packs to your liking
Each pack can be configured to display a graph or not, graphic colors and its background are configurable as well.
Some system packs allows settings special alert too based on thresholds.
You can also choose whether to show the information in the notification area, with or without the icon in the status bar, or only in the edge screen.
You can find attached a few samples of how it will look like.
If you have special queries or any issues, please let me know here.
Awesome!!!
Looks very cool, just bought the 3c toolbox app, so many configurations(Which is great)
Whenever i check the "Only edge-screen feed" checkbox it's only applied for that 1 notification, i think it'd be better if it was applied to the same button under all notifications.

Thanks for your support much appreciated.
That's a little tricky as packs do not share their settings.
However, if you have received udpate 1.3.5 of the toolbox, you can simply go to the edge screen feeds configuration and add the feeds there. If the selected feeds are not in the toolbox config, those will be directly added as 'feed-only', which avoids having to select that particular option.

I see now that i wrote that poorly. I meant the checkbox that comes up after i check "Only edge-screeen feed".
The checkbox that explains "Don't forget to enable feed in Samsung edge screen configuration". When i check "Do not ask again", it only remember not to ask for this specific notification, whereas it would be better if it didn't explain when you check "Only edge-screen feed" for all packages. But it's no big deal just a very minor inconvenience, and would be avoided with the method you explained. great application, works very well!
@3c just bought the full version and works great on the S6 Edge International SM-G925F. ... what an app, does everything except make coffee.....nice !
Where's the link to get the app??

@azz72 , Read the first post.
@3c, awesome app man! Looks really feature-full. I was wondering though . . any chance to change the way we get the edge notifications? Can we triple tap the edge instead of swiping finger?

Thanks. Actually swiping will require a custom kernel/ROM feature for that. The API for feeds is very limited: update them is all I can do about it, everything else is controlled by the OS.

do u need the Pro version to try the edge feeds?
edit:

But the feed text needs to get down on the edge screen, it's way up now.

It's currently set at the top of the screen so that if you enable the historical graph it will on top of it. I'll have to customize the display to center the text when no graph is displayed. Will do so soon.
Hallo People. I have a Problem: "2- Download individual packs
Then, you will have to download the individual pack (from app settings, notifications, notifications packs)."

From app settings: open the app, if using the default tabbed main screen, in the middle tab, tap 'notifications', then notification packs, it will open the download screen automatically. If using the advanced main screen, tap the settings button (bottom right) and then tap notifications, then notification packs.

You missed step #1, download one of the 3 apps mentiond in OP, then in any of those 3 apps settings you can download the packs.

All packs have been updated to position the text closer to the actual edge of the screen. You can update them from the download section, already installed packs will have a circle arrow you can tap to update them.
Does anybody know how to remove the Question mark in the Weather Widget in the homescreen? See attachment.
I was actually going to post this this morning. Whats it for? When I tap it I get a forbidden error. Screenshot attached-

I get the same thing when I tap on it. I'm sure that widget would like nice without it.
It wants you to set up the smart notice?

My Smart Notice is set up. I already set it up.
After some researching, it appears the ? on the widget is supposed to launch LG's "Quick Help". I neither would use quick help nor do I use Google Now very much (thus, dont need constant updates), so I changed the Smart Notice widget for the regular clock/weather widget. It *is* pretty cool that it changes color depending on your wallpaper, though.
Hi,
For those who are already lucky to own this phone. Can you tell me something about the features of the always on display.
1. Are third party notifications (esp. Whatsapp) supported
2. Is it possible after tapping on the notification to get a preview
3. Is it possible to dismiss a notification and/or to go directly to the app of the notification
Cheers

I haven't checked for Whatsapp specifically, but the always-on display shows me notifications from Pushbullet, Nine (exchange email), DS Cloud and others. I guess it works with any app.
Taping the notifications does nothing - or i missed something in the settings.
Double-tapping them opens the corresponding app (at the appropriate place; example, the email that triggered the notification) (but first of course you have to unlock the phone if you have a secure lockscreen set).

Okay it looks that Samsung has listened to the request for S7 user. Nice to hear that 3rd party apps are now displayed.
That I dont get a preview of the message and can't mark it as unread is little bit dissapointing. It looks that I still have to use a 3rd party app for notifications. It looks that nothing beats Moto Display so far
I believe th e always on display stays th ere for up to an hour after you right a note. You can choose different themes.
