s20 ultra, edge lighting efffect issue - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

I know its a small issue, but for some reason its bugging the hell out of me. I have the s20 ultra, on edge lighting only 2 out of the 11 effects work, (basic and glitter). am I missing something??

Do the effects not work during the preview?

Did you by any chance turned on "remove animation" option under the visibility enhancement setting?

It works now, You were right, apparently their are 2 remove animation buttons, 1 in visibility enhancements and 1 in advanced features. and they both work independently of each other. The 1 in advanced features was turn on.
Thanks for the responses for both of you guys. I appreciate it.

Wrong thread, sorry.

Screen off Animation

Hey everyone,
So while the guy at the sprint store was activating my Optimus G I noticed awesome screen off animation. Now that its a couple days later and all my settings are set up, home screen ect. I noticed that the screen off animation is none existent, it just shuts off like a normal screen. I looked everywhere in the settings to see maybe if I disabled it but cant find it anywhere. Is there something I did by accident or am I missing something here?? Any advice would help.
Thanks for your time,
Tim

Its actually really simple go to the lock screen settings and select which screen effect you want.
Yep what he said ^ Under Lock screen/screen effects. Dewdrop is pretty badass. This is just another feature I love about LG's UI.

Screen off animation. Not screen unlock animation.
It changes the screen off animation as well if I'm not mistaken.
Edit: Just kidding maybe it doesn't. So in that case OP, idk how to help you lol.

Tell me, how stupid would you feel about Samsung when you realize the effects only work when you use Samsung's lockscreen wallpapers?

i have rooted my tab s 8.5 (t705) and updated to nf8 but all of the unlock effects are still there. where did you go to enable these lock effects?
it is located in settings/device/lock screen/unlock effect and there are 6 options namely none, blind, brilliant cut, popping colors, watecolour and ripple.

Change to one of your own wallpapers and see if they still work.
I just put a custom lockscreen wallpaper and the effects still work here.

unlock effect still works even if i changed lockscreen wallpaper. the only wierd thing in my tab s is that whenever i chage my homescreen wallpaper, to a live one, it will go back to default wallpaper every time i restarted my tab, this does not happen when a plain wallpaper is selected.

Android P Ambient Display Question

Anyone know what this line is for on the ambient display for android p?
https://www.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/nexus2cee_ambient-display-p.png
I'm thinking it may be where weather would go if you have that feature set up. I don't. Wondering if there's a way to remove it.
Thanks!

I assumed it was just a separator between the phone's info (time, date, etc) and the notifications? I guess you need to find someone who has the weather enabled (I don't) to see if it's still there. I'm guessing it is.

The line is a seperator on ambient display, the pics in the link you quoted are the lockscreen, not ambient display.
the weather on ambient display appears to the right of the date just as it does on homescreen.
remember ambient display is an all black screen.
And yes, it also does appear on the lockscreen, in the same format: date - weather
Seems some people have it, others dont.
I had it yesterday, but its gone today.

Yep it is a separator to split out notifications from the standard Ambient Display info.
Thanks for the info on getting the weather to display. Good stuff! :good:
When I fixed the weather thing I just removed the Google update then put it right back. No reboot was required for me.

I didn't need to wipe the phone to fix the missing weather on the lock screen. Go into apps and disable Google. That reverts it to an older version. Reenable and give it a little bit and it will be there.

Although it's less of a problem, because this morning it has disappeared altogether. Still, never mind. I'll just look out of the window.
I actually never got it to work even though I tried the "fix" I quoted. And further along in the comments, it looks like it disappears for everyone.

Turn off screen gesture

Hi all. New on this phone, I've searched for this but could not find, so maybe someone here could help me. Is there a gesture to quickly turn off screen (had a gesture on my old nexus that was double tapping home button)?
Thanks in advance!
You could try 'Edge sense plus' (check the play store) to use the squeeze function to turn off the screen instead of launching the assistant. Personally I use nova launcher and swipe up to turn off the screen.
I'm sure there are other alternatives as well, but that's my 2 cents
I use the app called edge gestures on the play store. Works very well for me!

Is that the app that costs 1,77? Wich are the possible gestures for screen off?
Do you have the possibility to use the fingerprint sensor to turn screen off?
Thanks!
Yeah it does cost some money but I can't remember exactly how much. There is a native screen lock option for Android 9+ and I don't think there is any fingerprint gesture. It's primarily for the edges of your screen.

You could try turning on accessibility menu in the accessibility settings if you don't mind having a small icon to the right of the pill at the bottom of the screen. When you click it, there are several options given and lock screen is one. It's not a simple gesture swipe or a simple double tap but it may be an option.

Tried that, and it works, it appears a person button, and when you press it, it gives a lot of options, and the lock screen is one of them. I will keep using until a easier solution if found. I can not believe android will not include a gesture option for this by default.
I hate to have to press a button to lock the screen, they end up breaking/wearing so fast.
Thanks all for your responses, and other solutions are welcome. Cheers! :good:

Forgot to mention though that with it, when you open the camera app, you'll get this '5 second burst' label on the screen that some find annoying but I, for one, don't mind it.
Oh and when you're down and feeling blue, that small person icon seems to be ready to give a hug so just look at your phone. Hahaha

It's swiping/tapping from either the left, right, or bottom of the screen.
I use Wakeup touch Nexus, which, apart from letting you wake the screen using the proximity sensor, also allows you to turn off the screen by touching an icon on the desktop https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wolandsoft.wtn

Thanks, but looking for gestures apps or ways to lock the screen.
Check this widget out. It is invisible and adds double tap to lock functionality to any launcher.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jordigordillo.dtswidget
Works without root in Android P or with root in Oreo and lower. In both cases, fingerprint unlocking works afterwards.

App for notification light?

So, i'm coming from a 6 and not having a notification LED sucks. Do you guys use any app for simulating a LED? If there was a way to put a tiny green blinking circle in the bottom, that would be awsome.
Thanks in advance.

I got my 7T yesterday was wondering the same thing, given that it's been a cornerstone of most every phone I've owned. So I did some searching around and found this, which seems to be working great, and is developed by an XDA member.

Using it now. It evens allows to put the light wherever we want. On my car, i only see the bottom of the phone.
Looks great so far!
Although "Notify Buddy" is a very nice app and works on Oneplus 7T i found out that it has a quiet high battery consumption. There are two other apps, that worked fine for OP 6T:
"Plus Beat"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vaf.vishal.plusbeat
"Pixel Pulse"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.pixelpulse
They both need a workaround to be usefull on OP 7T:
- notification change to "important"
- enable popup on lockscreen
- disable "stealth mode" in app
Under this circumstandes they work fine!
Have fun with your new Oneplus!

Yup, unsinstalled notify buddy precisely for that, wasting too much battery.
I have pulse beat here, but doesn't seem to work. Going to disable stealth mode. And enable it on lockscreen. O7t here.

I dont know another way. battery life is okay with plus beat, burn in depends on the frequency and time...
have a nice day!
Plus beat is much more battery friendly than nottify buddy.
There is no way to sey PB notifications to important, at least i don't see it. Android 10 on 7t here. But ir's working good with stealth mode disabled.
Not quite the same.. But I use an app called Glimpse, works perfectly for me, it lights the screen up when a notification comes In, I set mine to light the screen up for 30 seconds, gives me chance to read it unlike the oneplus light up screen setting which lasts for 8 seconds.
you can select apps for notifications.
you can set screen on time and you can set it to repeat alert until checked based on a time setting...
The app is light on background battery usage.
The app is also well supported on the Xda forums...
Couple of tips, turn off the built in oneplus light up screen setting or Glimpse will not work correctly.
Also consider turning off optimisation in the battery settings and locking the app, so that android does not close it down in the background.
The app is free and ad free from the Google store.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-glimpse-notifications-t3090575/amp/
I also use a xiaomi Mi band 4 with my oneplus 7t, I set my phone to silent, use the mii band app to send the watch notifications, via vibration from my selected apps, sooooo much better than the phone beeping loudly, it disturbs nobody, more zen like... Plus the Mi band 4 is low cost, very long battery life, Amoled screen, works wonderfully...
Plus the notification message can be partially seen on the Mi band.
Looks interesting. For now, plus beat does the job, but i would like for it to stop showing notifications after you see them in the status bar.
