1. No way to set the brightness to 0%.. why won't it go below 10%?
2. GPS toggle brings up location services menu instead of actually toggling the GPS on.
Anyone have a solution to either?
You can always use an app to get those toggles or just wait for the custom ROMS.

Correct me if I'm wrong but 0% means no brightness at all......
So how the hell are u gonna bring it back up when u can't see a thing?

Not sure if it's zero but installed power widget goes much darker than power toggle does
Make power toggles a system app with titanium backup, then pressing the gps icon will turn it on rather than take you to the location access screen.

Just move /data/app/com.painless.pc-1.apk to /system/app/com.painless.pc-1.apk , chmod 644 /system/app/com.painless.pc-1.apk and reboot.
Need root
Thanks!
I would VERY much like to have no icon rather an an invisible one. The blank space seems off. Any possible edits there?
There has to be a way to get rid of the icon. In the description of the app, he mentioned that it can't because of the api but extended controls removes it from notification but when you enable notification controls, a widget is still left on the screen. Which this one has an option to remove that.

The GPS thing is general. After 3.0 update no app is allowed to change GPS state so you need a work around. Tasker can't change GPS states either. Either do it manually, or install secure settings. Needs root.

Yes ofc as u can see in the screenshot there is a huge space between the battery status and the message notification. That is because of power toggles. I choose transparent but the space is still there, how do I move that space? The creator of the app said it cant be done but I am quite sure someone has done it before...so please help me out

has nothing to do with gps mate
fyi an update a few weeks back fixed the GPS on/off location services bug.
still no way to set the minimum brightness below 10 however.
i have to go into the brightness settings and manually move it lower if i want the screen to be dimmer.
that still bugs me.

Power Toggles coupled with Lux is a pretty good combo.

Setting the notification priority to 1 instead of 5 and restarting the app removes the icon. The toggles can't be pinned to top however.
I was thinking it would be nice to have full apps as options for the lock screen rather than just widgets. Just like I can pull up the camera from the lock screen by swiping to the left, I would like to choose an application for swiping to the right. For example I use the Google Play Music app a lot and would like to access it without having to (pattern/pin/etc) unlock my phone every time. I feel like it would be a useful feature.
What does everyone think?
PS. I can put up screenshots/images of the idea if my description is not clear.
Then you risk giving access to that app to anybody who picks up the phone, which may not be a big deal to some people. Even though people SHOULD realize that, some wont, and they would complain. It would then be called a "security issue".
I understand that but it would be up to the user's discretion what app they put there. I wouldn't care if people had access to my music app, just like I don't care about the camera app. Furthermore it would be nice if it was natively supported by Android so that app developers could implement settings for how apps behave when on the lock screen. This way we can curb some of the security issues by having the ability to disable certain features/sections of said app.

To hell with apps on lockscreen, lets put apps to buttons !
/s
At what point does it cease to be a lockscreen anymore? I'd love a lockscreen with all of my apps, widgets and even access to the app drawer... Oh wait...

There's an app in the Galaxy app store called good lock. The notification shade gets changed to more of a stock Android look and the lock screen has more customization options. After you download it installs itself like an update. Has anyone else tried this?
Notification shade
Just updated it, one step closer to looking like AOSP. I wonder if this is the new version of Touchwiz or just an alternative.
It's not very good looking. Needs to have options to change the colors.
Good thing its optional.
You can change the colors. In the routines settings.

Where do I find the routines settings?
Edit: I found it
Yeah I like it a lot, found it much faster and smoother then stock hope this is a tease of things to come. Only thing I found was motion wallpaper does not work. I have found most people dislike the recent apps but I find it faster and easier to use.

It was just released. I figure it can only improve, especially after they sift through all the initial feedback.
I uninstalled for now until they sort out the bugs. Was getting battery drain from it accessing my location so much.
Lockscreen effects are back!!!!
had to uninstall it because the notification suddenly became blurry and I couldn't see it anymore (though clicking on it would still complete the wanted action)
Running it and it is pretty good, you set up various "Routines" to change you WiFi, BT, color and other settings depending on location or time.
Works good but broken when used with the sammy LED case
Tried it yesterday. Intriguing. But buggy. Seems like Android system ui tuner could be activated, but wouldn't. Changed the behavior of my home button. Not sure if quick setting tiles could be changed. Status bar and notification tiles look a lot like stock Android N, but lock screen behaves like Jellybean. Looking forward to trying it again after more bug fixes.
Also, wifi calling notification appears twice. Lock screen widgets are not so useful if you like to use the fingerprint scanner. Same goes for the lock screen shortcuts. Fun to play with, though.
This breaks encrypted SD cards

I had bad battery drain with this. Also, IMO, the color options are way too girly.

Oh this is nice....I'm.loving it!!!!!!!
This is great! For some reason after connecting it to my car the constant location settings pop up went away, even with location off! Still no way of organizing the quick toggles, but a definite improvement over stock. I've not seen any increase in battery drain either, with AOD on I lost 8% over 12 hrs last night.
Hi Guys,
Just moved over from a Xiaomi Mi Max 3. I'm certainly not a notch guy on phones, but it's hard to ignore a 7.2 inch screen.
I have disabled the button navigation at the bottom of the screen to maximize screen real estate, but what I notice is that pretty much every app I run wont use the space beside the camera notch. It will either go "full screen" and leave the time, date, battery etc up there, or it will black all that stuff out. In both cases the apps don't actually use any other that space up there. Google Maps for example, it runs "Full Screen" and the time and date stuff is blacked out but the app wont actually use that space. If you're not using the space for the app why not leave the normal stuff up there?
I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the apps, or the UI itself? With video apps like you tube you can zoom out to take advantage of the extra space, but most app like Chrome don't use any of this space.
I'm scratching my head on this one as maybe this is how things are on "notch" phones?
Hey
Do you have some screenshots of both cases ? i'm not sure i understand you properly. I'm planning to buy the phone but i was expecting a way to force full screen apps normally like on samsung without this kind of issues.

Right, but that's the problem. Fire up Google Maps and turn the phone in landscape mode and that notification bar goes completely black. It's not being used "full screen" by google maps, it just becomes dead space not used for google maps or the notification bar.... You tube can be expanded to use this space. So I think maybe there needs to be an "expand" settings that makes all apps use this by default. Even with YouTube you have to do the expand every time...
Ah ok i see, On my phone it's turning transparent dark grey on google map for the notification bar. I agree it would be annoying if it's turning completely black even for screen burning.

Yup, Wasted space... We need to be able to use all the screen
I don't have mate 20 x yet. But with my previous phones I used to use app called gmd full screen immersive mode. To hide the top and navigation bars to use the whole screen.

I think it's because alot of apps don't support this aspect ratio.
You can try on the display setting of the notch. Choose "show notch" on the app that you want to run fullscreen

That works perfect thank you now maps is in full with notch?
Update ,,,when i screenshot it don't show notch but it does work lol
You can use ADB to force full-time immersive mode...
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*

YES! That is perfect, it now uses the whole screen, you can even see the maps under the notification bar.

Really nice find. Doesn't work on browsers though, annoying lol
Is there a way to have this support more than 3 apps? It's ridiculous there's a limit with the amount of ram on this phone
That's a GREAT question, and I'd love to know the answer too. I haven't found one yet though. RAM isn't an issue on this phone. Maybe they worry too many locked in memory will affect battery life too much?
Where did you learn this is the limit? I've gone days without opening an app before and when I go back to it it's right where I left off.
You could perhaps go to the battery saving menu and disable the battery saving for any apps you want to remain running. This may cause some serious background battery usage though, but It may be worth trying out. Also, try running the high performance mode. I've run that mode a lot and never noticed it causing much battery drain over the standard optimised mode.
Coming from Oneplus and using it for a long time I can tell you, the Note 10+ is probably one of the best multitasking phones I've used (including Note 9). Chrome on this hardly ever closes in the background and find it always running and available with all the tabs open. Oneplus phones can hardly keep anything in memory / background loaded for more than 5 mins but but Oneplus phones feel sooooo much more responsive and snappy comparatively otherwise.
The default for background apps is set to, "standard." Which allows more than 3 background apps.
Go into Device Care - > Battery - > App power management
Some apps may have been automatically added to sleep or deep sleep.
You can add or remove apps as needed.

After you add three to "Keep open for quick launching" the option becomes greyed out.
You're right, it's generally not an issue where apps get closed down in the background anyway, but I normally have 4 or 5 that I always wanted 'pinned' to my recents list. Not a big deal, I just found the limit strange, given the phone's capabiities and hardware.

How do you get " keep open for quick launching “ , I only get lock app instead , I'm running one ui 2.1 june security patch ” picture attached ”
Anyway you can bypass this using good lock app from galaxy store and use the module multistar and toggle on ”long live apps”

I'm also on One UI 2.1, June security patch. Screenshot of my menu option is attached. Maybe it's different between countries/regions/models? Mine is the Canadian N975W.
Edit: attachments aren't working, here's a link to the screenshot: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqdgaMVMg2EMirgLXMqey1V1d0Gsdg?e=RGdVeX
I have three settings :
Put apps to sleep
Put apps to deep sleep
Apps that are not put to sleep.
I can add as many as i want in here.
There's an option to Goodlock's Task Changer to keep an app open which is a setting you don't have anywhere else in the system.
But i don't have that long live app in Multistar on my end.
Sorry for digging this up but do all of your apps appear in the "Apps that never sleep" list of apps?
I'm missing quite a few of my apps, aProfiles and Philips Hue for a start...
Anyone has noticed that before? Thnx
