Accidentally pressed 'Skip' during options...

I accidentally hit 'skip' and not 'enable' when asked whether I wanted to enable to option to call a person by placing my head to the phone while looking at the contact. Where can I find this option to enable it?

Open the App Drawer, tap on Settings, tap on Motion, ensure that Motion is turned on by sliding the toggle at the top so that it is green, and then put a check in the box next to "Direct Call".
Hope this helps.

Thanks!

OGP and Quick Cover

Hello all,
I have a OGP with a quick cover. I absolutely love the quick cover but it does seem to impede the swipe lock screen functionality. If I close the quick cover it never locks. It stays at the home screen. If I leave the quick cover open and let the screen go dark on the timed basis then the swipe lock screen is activated.
Is there any way to get this to work with the quick cover?
Thanks,
Steve

The functionality you're experiencing is normal; the cover is intended to quickly unlock your device when the cover is opened, but it's possible to turn it off. Go into Display > Quick Cover and uncheck the Quick Cover Setting box.

So only for the Swipe option does this happen correct? I have used the Pin option and even when opening the Quick Cover I still have to enter the pin.

Yes, it will bypass the lock screen only if you have it set to swipe (or I guess no lock screen). More secure lock screens still require your input to unlock the device.

[Q] AutoRotate Too Sensitive?

Is anyone else annoyed at how sensitive the autorotate is? Every time I set the phone down, this thing thinks I want to go into landscape.
I have two of these phones and both behave the same way. It's very annoying to have to tilt the phone back up just to get it back in portrait mode, every time.

Yes, exactly. I have been facing this issue when VLC player is running , phone auto rotates even with a slightest tilt. Didn't face this issue on my OnePlus 3T.
And, apologies for not having an answer, just wanted to second your findings.

1) Dial *#808# in your dialer
2) In the menu, go to the "Device debugging" tab and scroll all the way down
3) Set your phone on a flat surface and press "Sensor self-test and calibration"
4) Tap Gyroscope and Accelerometer options about 5 times each

Single tap to swipe option is gone!

Hello everybody,
Soon after getting the Pie update, after the first security small update, i noticed that on my wife's Galaxy S9 the setting "Single tap to swipe" option is gone. Anybody else having this problem ?
Thanks!

Same here. I have also preferred tap instead of swipe... Definitely i am going to change this Samsung brand...

Mee too! I'm very angry...

LOL, you guys break me up, so fickle that you'll change phones because of single tap to swipe feature missing. There is no way you could have even liked the phone if you'll drop it for this.

Same on S9+. It worked on One UI security patch January 1, but it is gone after February 1 update.
Lame, I thought my phone got stuck, took me few days until I tried to swipe, LOL...
I am used to end the call with Power key but never got the hang of using the Volume up key for answering calls, so I just used tap instead of swipe.
Now I guess I am doomed.
My workaround will be to try to get used to using Bixby key for answering calls since bxActions app has such an option.
Until they break that with some update also.

On Note 9 still working after the last update, hope they will not mess with it.

For some reason in latest update they moved it under: Interaction and dexterity -> assistant menu -> Single tap to swipe ....
but now i am stuck with useless menu on my screen (kept only one option in the menu) but when disabling the menu - single tap stops working

Thanks kabangena, with your help i found it. I have set the maximum transparency to the small assistant menu and i moved it in the upper right corner. I cannot see the icon anymore. It's a temporary fix, hope Samsung will do something about it.

same here , but it's still very annoying

Is anyone solved the issue, even with the third-party app? That's really annoying; why don't left that useful option "as is"?

You can hide the assistant menu by long press on it and a circle with "X Hide Here" appears in top center of the screen, drag it into the circle. This hides assistant menu in the notification panel. You have to see the notification every time you swipe down to open the panel, but it is completely hidden from the home screen.

Except, after the screen closes and I hit Home to open it again, this little piece of worthless junk is back.
I'd just leave it somewhere and ignore this POS, but it covers parts of apps that I regularly use.
Why do people think that deleting functionality is a good thing?

Finally I found the solution (not a permanent but still affordable).
- turn Settings->Accessibility->Interaction and dexterity->Assistant menu on and (inside "Assistant menu") set Single tap to swipe is on
- weird floating icon should appear but don't worry
- go to Settings->Apps, press "3 dots" in the top right corner and tap on Show system apps
- find an app called Accessibility, tap on, scroll all way down and remove Appear on top advanced permission (I've also disabled Change system setting)
- now scroll up, and tap on Force stop button
Weird button will disappear and re-appear after reboot only (you should repeat last step again after reboot but it's OK, I believe so)
Enjoy!
P.S. Thanks to user drmusou for his post.
[UPDATE] There is a permanent solution! Set Single tap to swipe option and disable package com.samsung.accessibility by Package Disabler Pro+ (Samsung).

Or just with ADB shell:
c:\adb>adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.accessibility

If you tap and hold the assistant menu you will have the option to hide it " it will re appear after reboot" but can do the same again ?

Is there a way to pass the lock screen and go directly to home screen?

Hi All,
New to Samsung phones and upgrading from a Motorola X Pure Edition. The Samsung is an upgrade in many, many ways. It's sophisticated and will make the user feel sophisticated. But it has a few downsides too (camera) but I'm working to get the phone to how I think it should be.
I have Always On Display enabled. But when the phone is not locked, I can double tap on the screen and then instead of going to the home screen, it just goes to the lock screen which I then have to swipe up again for.
This is like passing through two locked gates in order to get to the home screen and this can be annoying. I need to open my phone quick or minimize distractions.
Is there a way to bypass the lockscreen? The fingerprint sensor is not very good and if I have Smart Lock enabled and the phone was turned off but is not locked, it would be great to just double tap on the screen and go directly to the home screen.
Thanks.

I think this is the only way. But keep in mind it will completely disable any kind of lockscreen security.

Yeah, I'm not trying to disable security. Thanks anyway.
I just want to go directly to my home screen when the phone is off but unlocked due to smart unlock.

I had the same problem. Instead of having AOD on all the time I set it to 'tap once' to open AOD, but I realised it's basically a secondary lock screen, so I disabled the AOD completely and just use the lock screen instead, it not only provides more info than the AOD but it's also a lock screen where the AOD is just a novelty and an extra gate. I just double tap to wake the lock screen instead of single tap to open AOD.

I took your advice and turned off AOD. Phone is better this way, and I'm not missing much with the AOD off.
Thanks.
