Those of you using a "Smart Stay" app on your Nexus 5, which one are you using. This is the only feature from Galaxy S4 I miss (I kept all the other crap turned off on that phone). I noticed there's a few in the Play Store. What's everyone having the best luck with? I want my screen timeout set at 30 secs, but don't want the screen going off when I've looking at the display. Thanks for any suggestions.

Wow, nobody is using this feature? Is there another alternative people are using on the N5 to keep the screen on while readings, etc.
Thanks.

I use Screebl. It's never let me down in several years and on several phones.

I use Gravity Screen. The free version is perfect for me, but I got the donate version because it's a great app.

I'm giving Gravity Screen a try. It sounds pretty promising. I'm having some trouble getting it dialed in though. Any tips? What features of it are you using. I've got the "Turn off when laying flat on the table" option working well. I'm having trouble with setting it for the screen to turn off when phone is in pocket. Default angle is set at like 60 degrees I believe. However with the size of the phone, my phone is more vertical in my pocket.
I'm going to continue to try and tweak it, but thought you might be able to make some suggestions since it sounds like you've been using the app for awhile. Thanks.

Sounds interesting as well. At first glance I like the interface of Gravity Screen better, but I'll give this one a try as well. Thanks for the reply!

I need Help, im going to buy a used honor 8 and I wold like to you guys to tell me the most comons problems so I can test!
Goods:
1 Nice look and hardware
2 Some nice features in EMUI, everyone won't agree. Like security safe and app, camera software, finger print gestures
Bads:
1: Nightmare for someone who want to customize. Custom ROMs available but still unofficial due to issues.
2: Updates not as frequent
3: EMUI, depending on your preferences, some people just despise it.
You guys clearly missed OP's question...
Edit,
To answer OP, this is a great article which covers buying a used phone in general: https://recraigslist.com/2013/03/how-to-buy-a-used-cell-phone/
Generally you should:
Start by rebooting the phone. There is a warning saying "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" when booting up the phone. This means that the person has unlocked bootloader, most likely isn't using stock recovery and may be running non-official ROM. This might be a concern if rooting the phone isn't something you want to do.
Chech if IMEI isn't blacklisted using this tool: http://swappa.com/esn
Check if the device supports your provider by inserting your SIM and trying to make a test call/using data.
Check if the finger print sensor is working and check for any visible damage
Check the USB-C port if it isn't damaged and if possible, try plugging the phone in to see if charging works properly
Check back/front camera and video recording
That's about it, there aren't any specific problems that would happen only with Honor 8 to be honest.
Hope that helps.
I get the Honor 8, so far so good !!!

There was an option in camera app on my previous Samsung Galaxy S8+, and it appears it's an option with Huawei's Mate 20 series, that allows the camera to only record slow-mo video when motion is detected.
However, this 'only record when motion detected' slow-mo option is missing on my P30 Pro.
Can anyone with a P40-series phone let me know if Huawei put it back in?
EDIT: Never mind. Turns out the option appears when you select 960 fps. Here's what I captured:
Yes its back..

Thank you, very much.
How frustrating.
Could you possibly do me a favor and let me know the version of the camera app you have?
That way, I can try to find an APK to sideload.

Interesting.
Latest for my P30 Pro is 10.0.1.348.
Huawei released update today including golden snap to the camera. Don't know what it is yet.

Global or Chinese? Which Version?
I'm in the UK with p40pro so must be global. Just do a system software update to 10.1.0.114
Never mind - Turns out the option appears when you select 960 fps.
Here's what I captured:
Not sure if I'm finding the correct setting. But on my p40pro the option to record slow ow on on motion dection works on all fps options but you have to set the area where it my detect motion.

Off the topic query but how are you finding the p40pro till now in terms of camera and the software experience? ..i have ordered one here in UK and will probably get it in a couple of days
Sent from my SM-F907B using Tapatalk
First off it it's a beautiful device and feels great in the hand. It's one of those devices that you find satisfying to touch.
The camera is excellent exactly how I expected it to be after owning a mate 20 Pro a last year, and that device ruined my experience of owning a note 10 plus as the camera on the note just couldn't compare.
Software is good although EMUI is one of my favourite android skins anyway. I find it pretty easy to live without gms as I don't really do social media or anything.
It is easy to put gms on this device although I took it off just to run a stock phone as stock. Due to the fact the only things I wanted from gms (Google pay and music) won't work anyway.
Main gripe with this phone is no gpay or banking apps. Hopefully Huawei can sort this soon. Oh and no stereo speaker or dolby atmos.
Now I need to decide whether to switch from my note 10 plus to this or not?

Thanks a lot..i had the note 10plus and i agree its a beautiful device though camera might be a level below p40pro. So its a tough decision.
I hv a iphone11 pro max and will probably use p40pro as a secondary phone mainly due to its camera

Yeah the note Is a good phone but Samsung ruined the note with a software update that made the camera blurry and the Bluetooth streaming skip on music play back. And seems as though I take 100+ inspection photos daily for work it's very annoying.
I just can't get on with Samsung ui either it's too much.
The thought of not being fully tracked by Google is quite refreshing as well.
It is weird how nice this phone feels... I find even if I'm not using it I just rotate it in the hand whilst watching TV odd.

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
Hi,
so i received my Oneplus 8T yesterday and it works like a charm so far. But theres something i am unhappy with, after I did set up everything. I opened up PoGo and noticed that it isnt fullscreen. So I went to the settings and tried to change the Apps to Fullscreen, but there are no apps shown.
I have read some threads with the oneplus 8 pro facing the same issue.
Anyone else got that problem?

Alex

Hi,
I was also looking for something to force all apps to fullscreen. Have you found anything on this yet?
It's a OnePlus thing. The OnePlus 8 is the same way. I think it has to be something to do with the Oxygen software. They haven't given us a way to make apps work full screen with the punch hole camera. You should be able to use all apps full screen a OnePlus device with a punch hole camera just like you can on the last 2 generations of Samsung devices with the same kind of camera setup.
I know several people have reached out to OnePlus about it but they haven't said anything and have remained quiet about it.
To force full screen you have to enable developer options and there's an option for cutout and you can disable it, that may be your only option
