[Q] question about galaxy GT-5282

I have a new galaxy gt-5282, and there is a feature I want to remove. Whenever I dial a nr., an icon of the normal shape of a lock is shown, and I have to tap it twice so I can talk. Nothing in the call settings is mentioned about this. How can I remove this lock ? like a normal S2,S3 or S4 ?
H hope this is the right place for this thread.

I think its because your phone doesn't have a proximity sensor, maybe that's why Samsung added this feature.. because my old Samsung Corby had a similar (but far less annoying) feature like this...
So I don't think Samsung made an "Off" switch for this.. and the only way to remove it might be via framework or SystemUI editing.. look for a custom ROM for your phone with this feature disabled... and I'm sorry for not being able to provide you with the correct solution mate

Thank you Sami for your efforts. My original phone is S4, I just bought the GT-5282 yesterday, as it has 2 sim cards and I need that in my traveling. I opened it just today.
I have also 4.1.2 on this small phone, but you may be right, I do not see any thing beside the loud speaker at all, so it does not have a proximity sensor, but I do not see how this lock will help in such a case.
Custom ROM may be the solution, but I could not find here, or on Android forums anything about this GT-5282, they are not mentioning it at all.

Yeah, this is the problem with many mid-range or low-range phones.. There aren't many people who use this phone.. and most of them are probably average users and not Android geeks or developers...
Anyways, Proximity sensors are important for a smartphone or any touch-screen phone.. Its important because it detects how close the screen of the phone is to your body. This allows the phone to sense when you have brought the phone up to your ear. At that point, the display turns off in order to save battery. It also stops detecting "touches" to avoid unwanted input, until you take the phone away from your ear... Nowadays most phones have it and since this phone doesn't maybe that's why Samsung added that feature instead..
And yeah, you don't have to type "thank you" to thank me.. just clicking on that "thanks" button is enough

[Req] GS6 Edge features on GS6

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to know if it was possible to get the gs6 features on the gs6. I would like to get the contact shortcut on the right side for instance.
It would be great if someone was working on it.
Cheers

+1 That would be awesome. Since it's only a software functionality, it shouldn't be so hard to port, right ?

The edge version has features? Here I was thinking it's a bent phone for $150aud more than the straight alternative.

It has a really nice quick access to 5 favourites contacts and a night clock. Both on the edge.

Edge Contacts on any phone.

Please give me the apk. It's not on play store in France

To activate Edge Contact in your device, you will need to swipe up from the home button. This will activate a selector on the first try, from there select Edge Contact as default and you should be good to go.

I may have not express myself very well...
It works! When I hold on the home button I can access to the shortcut. I also set up Edge contact as default application for the home button. However, when I slide up over the home button nothing happen. And I can only click on the contact to call them...
Basicaly I only have circles and I can pick my favourite contacts but I was more looking for something like this: http://phandroid.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Samsung-Galaxy-S6-Edge-screen-settings-DSC08583.jpg or with options at least
Thanks.

I flashed the 925T firmware on my 920T. Only thing I had to do to make it work was use our own boot.img. The contact shortcuts are the only thing that worked as far as the edge features go, we'd need a kernel dev to fix an edge kernel to use the correct axes for touch.

flashed an s6 rom to an s6 edge because of your post. works as it should. maybe start a thread showing people how to flash s6 edge roms on the regular s6 and s6 roms on the edge. what do you think?

It's pretty straight forward. Flash the rom then flash a kernel for your device. Does the fingerprint sensor work for you? That's the only issue I had with 925T firmware, but it may have been caused from deodexing.

Music effects on SM-N915P (Sprint) NK1 (4.4.4)

Can someone with the sprint variant on kitkat check the music effects menu in settings (at the bottom of the sound menu). I can't open mine. Every time I do, it crashes, and I think it's because I don't have musicfx/soundalive/both (whatever comes preinstalled). I'm not sure why I don't have it though. If you have either, mind posting the APK?
Edit:
Dear lord I thought at least someone would have responded by now. At this point, I'll take the APK from ANY US carrier Note Edge on KitKat.

I would help you out but I only just today upgraded to Lollipop. Sorry.

[Q] Update to 5.0.1 has ruined my camera!

Since the update my cameras shoot button has moved from the edge screen (one of my favourite features).
Can this be changed in settings or does anyone know where I can get the original camera apk?
Thanks in advance, David

Does the update fix the blurry start up?

You need to go back to Kitkat if you want that feature....

That does suck. :crying:That was the whole point of having the edge so you can move everything off the screen. Hopefully it is a setting somewhere or a change that can be made.

Hasn't been found yet and I know that it was a feature that was wanted by a lot of people.

I welcome the change.. Was not very natural feeling on the edge when taking landscape photos. But having the option to change between the two choices would please more people.

am curious.. did the same happen to everyone who updated their edge to the 5.0.1 version?

Yes. It is part of the lollipop update change. No way around it as of right now that i know of. I hope someone comes up with something because i really liked it on the edge

That sucks. Thanks. I will stick with my 4.4.4 till a change is made.

It made my note edge a note 4 with a smaller battery. This is what Samsung gives people that spend another $100 for their test product.

Edge Lighting for notifications not working?

Is anyone else having this problem? I have checked to make sure everything is turned on and it looks fine but I am not getting anything when i get a notification.

I came here looking for the exact same thing. It's been driving me crazy since I got the phone yesterday. It seems to be very random too, like sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. I've also noticed that heads up notifications aren't working. For example, when I get a Facebook message, it used to activate the edge lighting as well as give me a heads up containing a snippet of the message on my S10+, and now all I get is a quick vibration. It's so irritating and tbh, I'm glad it's not just me! Looks to be a bug. ??*
Not sure if you use it or not, but I've always used "Edge lighting fix for all apps" from the play store and also "Edge lighting+" from the Good Lock app. Those two apps have been the perfect combination for my phone until I got the N20U.
Does your edge lighting work with the screen off? Mine seems to, but again it's random. :/

Hi I am using a 3rd-party app aodNotify it works well on note 20 ultra & 10 plus.

Mine isn't working at all. I read on the Samsung forums that it was due to turning off animations in the developer options but I haven't done this.

This works GREAT! and lots of customizations.

Try Edge Lighting Plus in the Samsung Good Lock suite. Assuming they have updated Good Lock for the Note 20 ?
Good Lock is a must for any Galaxy phone regardless, lots of stuff to customise your phone!

Unfortunately this is what i was using and it wasn't working at all for me.
the aodnotify app combined with it did fix the problem....may just be a setting on my phone though.

Yeah, I didn't even have dev options enabled yet so that couldn't be the issue.
I did enable them to double check and animations are all enabled.

I don't think it's a setting. My wife also got the N20U and hers has the same problem. I'm thinking it's a bug in the FW.
I'll give aodNotify a try and see if it fixes mine too. It's driving me crazy!
On a different topic, do you have Facebook installed on your phone? If so, are you getting notifications from it? I've noticed I'm not getting any until I open the app up and then they show up. I disabled battery optimization and made sure it's not being put to sleep, but it's still not working. I also uninstalled/reinstalled and no change.
Very strange behavior.

Works fine for me. One thing to note that by default only 1 application is set to use this (Messages if I remember rightly). Search for 'Edge Lighting' in settings and then select 'Choose Apps' and then toggle which apps you'd like to see this for.

Definitely something to check, I did but still didn't work for me. I noticed your UK flag, you have the exynos version? I ask as maybe it has something to do with the Exynos vs. Snapdragon processor?
@AthieN I don't have Facebook so I can't give any feedback on that.

I think I may have figured it out! I moved my SD card over to the new phone from my old one and in it is an Android folder that was causing something to conflict.
As soon as I moved my stuff over to internal storage (minus the Android directory) and then formatted the SD card, I received a crap load of "pending" notifications (including Facebook lol) and my edge lighting seems to be working again! I then moved everything back to the SD card and rebooted and so far, so good! I'll keep an eye on it to be sure. But if you moved your SD card from your old phone, give this a try and let me know if it fixes your issue too!

Interesting! I put a new SD card into this phone as my previous one was pretty old it's still currently empty.
Your post made me want to try removing aodnotify and see what would happen. So far edge lighting works normally now. Not sure what the app changed but it seems to be working now. Thanks for testing things out with me!

Can you check 'Accessibility' --> 'Visibility enhancement' and then check if 'remove animation' is turned on or off. I had turned it off and the edge lighting stopped working for me. Instead i toggled 'remove animation' off and in 'Advanced setting' selected 'reduce animation. Not sure if you had looked at these already..
PS- i am in UK. So have the exynos variant
