Has anyone noticed when listening to music using the stock music player, there is a lighting effect that goes around the screen? I find it really annoying and I can't see any way of turning this off. I hope there is a way as I really like the samsung music player.

Hey that sounds pretty cool. How can I get this to work with Spotify?
Edit: Okay all jokes aside I've downloaded it and had a look for a solution. Doesn't appear to be something you can toggle. Possibly a purposeful design decision, or maybe just an oversight? Who knows what was going through their heads but you might just have to put up and shut up, change apps or wait for an update that includes a toggle.
Can I get this to work with play music???

No, it's a built in function on the Samsung player.
You have to turn off edge lighting. Settings display edge display edge lighting.
I love edge lighting when I get a message. But not with the music player.
Hi, I cant seem to make mine work. When I play music within the app, the edge lighting does not happen. Can you help me with this?? Edge lighting is turned on and all possible applications are selected. Please help.

Im using the Samsung Music app. Ive tried restarting the phone, uninstalling and installing the app. Turning the edge lighting toggle on and off.
And unticking keep screen off.
Nothing seems to work.
Plus the edge lighting I get in phone calls is just a solid green light on the edges. It doesnt rotate or move around. This is an s8 plus 64gb by the way. (( please help
I know that with the screen on it doesnt look good but one day my s8 glitched out where the screen turned off but the edge lighting remained on it was looking damn awesome if you guys want i will send a pic

I'd love to see it. I use edge lighting, but purposely refused to d/l the Samsung player because I use Spotify way too much. But I can see where constant edge light during music play can be both annoying and a possible battery drain.

Disable any packages on the phone? All I needed to do was turn on Edge Lighting in the menu and it's fine.
Using this player - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.android.app.music&hl=en
It only works when the app is actually open and playing, minimize and no edge lighting.

Works only with default music player. Those who are not able to see the effect, you need to turn on the animator duration scale under development options. At .5x edge lightning will run fast. At 1x it'll run at normal speed (pleasing to the eye) and lastly, at 0x setting it'll freeze and just look like stable edge border only.
I know how to turn it off, but you gotta be rooted. If you still wanting that, call me on priv
I like the edge lighting with the music player especially as it changes colour to match album art,just wished it was more reliable for messages ect.

For those looking to have further adjustment to lower screen brightness values even lower and even adjust the color tones somewhat, I discovered a new free app in market called Screen adjuster
Not only can lower brightness all the way down to 0, but allows adjusting brightness contrast as well as red blue and green. It works great!
it is called screen adjust. Even has widget so you can preset a dark setting if you like and one press enables it.
I find this app extremely useful for night time reading where even with the night mode the white text is too bright.
That and while using my eee at night my wife always complains it's too bright.
i couldn´t find the app. can you give me the download link please?
this is not a real screen adjustment, it runs *on top of the system* not only will it make your screen look like junk it will mak your homescreen scrolling laggy as hell, stay away

Actually screen filter runs on top. This actually really seems to darken it. I did notice lag one on home screen then home screen FC'd and after that it wokred fine. I sometimes get similar FC with out this app so not sure if it was to blame. All I know is I can now use my tablet in the dark without it being too bright.

I stand corrected it does run on top like screen filter. I tested during daytime and hadn't noticed. Either way it is another viable option.

Curious to know as well..
It'd be nice to be able to adjust the color saturation to make the GS 10.1
I made this app for educational purpose
Glad to hear if someone likes it
People with sgs2 like 'pseudo contrast'
I even didn't expect that it can be useful for someone ;0
Lags the tablet wouldnt reccomend this, example would be the scrolling of the home screen
On my SGS (and other smartphones) works great, but I try to look into what causes the problem on tablets
I like the initiative, good work!
New version released

Hi all,
I am using smart cover for my mate 7, my question is how can I customis or edit the smart cover lock screen to add for example extra page or open, dial, send SMS, open the open the call log or change the background!
Thanks
I had same question , tried many times but couldnt change smart cover picture . also i am unable to find smart lock ? having problem connecting bluetooth to my win 10 vaio, it is connected but i cant send data from phone to pc ! it fails . but i can receive from pc to phone.
Same problem for me with Lollipop on me MT7-LT10
I have upgrade my phone (in local) with the official B324 and i can't change the smartcover background, even when i try to change it by the theme menu, its always the picture with a bridge.
@ sabkt : the smart lock is for me in the "locksreen" menu in "other" section
One more here how we can change this ????
Same. I am done with Huawei. First they take years to update, we'll probably never even see Android 6. Their build quality equals total ****. I have had a replaced display by service center 2 TIMES NOW for screen bleed of whites and other lighter colors (in the middle of the screen, random places, etc. And then they manage to screw up one of the things they got right. The old clock and music player were amazing.
Same problem ... no solution???
Same problem here, and the impossibility to change the background it's very annoying
Whilst I wish I could change the picture, I don't miss music from the lock screen. I use PlayerPro and the built-in Music would override it on the lock screen plus it was forever randomly starting (Presumably I was catching the lock screen accidentally).
I having the Same problem too. After the update, I only can see miss call and message notification. I not able to see other than that to notification. Does anyone know how to configure this?
Same problems with me.
Is there some third party app which can to change default bridge picture theme on lolipop?
Also annoyed by this new lock. Want to at least be able to change wallpaper there.

This seems to be a general problem for Huawei/Honor phones.
I can not adjust anything on my Huawei G8 smart cover screen either. It's not the background picture that annoyes me, but that no notifications are display (except that the phone is ringing). Luckily I can switch off the smart cover screen. This way I can see the notification bar at least. Since I have enabled to show the notifications with a swipe over the fingerprint sensor I can view the top most notifications w/o opening the cover.

Hi all,
Try the EMUI Theme Editor app on google play - i havent used it myself for the SmartCover, but it has got an option to change Smart Cover background. Has alot of other useful tools to change EMUI.
I decided to open this thread due to the fact that the Galaxy s7 Edge Always on Display does not recognize/rotate in landscape mode when the screen is off.
For some it may not matter. For others it will. For me it matters.
Now I was able to achieve landscape mode on my Lockscreen
Adding these two lines to build.prop:
log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE
lockscreen.rot_override=true
Also I achieved Landscape on my launcher with Nova Launcher, then in settings, look and feel I enabled auto rotate.
As for the always on Display I have not been able to find any information.
If anyone has any information on the subject it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Not sure just yet. This method does not work with touchwiz unfortunately.
At one point I could rotate my display in any direction (even upside down) and always on display, as well as touchwiz, would rotate. For some reason that no longer works. I guess a bug gave me what I wanted for a bit. The camera app can be used upside down and you can temporarily use the phone upside down after closing the camera app but it doesn't seem to effect Always On Diaplay. I want to use my phone as an alarm clock on a stand, preferably in landscape so this is a disappointment.

I'm sure all in due time and if we all spread the word and gain interest we can make this happen. Just have to figure out the proper resources and direction to take to remedy the issue.
Would be nice if samsung just enabled rotation support for always on display and Lockscreen.
I'm using
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate
For autorotate. Works for touchwiz and lockscreen.
Unfortunately not for Always on screen

Me too. Used this app in the past with my s3/s4 and my first mirrorlink radio
Under display turn Always on off and try turning on night clock I like it better than always on
the night clock is to dark at daylight
I've developed an android app for bringing Always On to all android devices with AMOLED screens. It's called "Always On: Ambient Clock" . And it does support landscape mode.
I can't post a link now since I have only 5 posts but you can search for it on Play Store.
Needs the ability for everything being displayed to move random after about a minute. For it to stay stationary is not good for the display.
Also it prevents the wave to wake feature from working on samsung devices.
Needs some work.

Hi, I just pushed an update for fixing burn-in issue.
I don't think it's possible to add the wave to unlock feature as the proximity sensor is used to detect if the device is in pocket or flipped.

I think if you set a slight delay for in pocket detection may help. Or make it less sensitive, it goes black if I just hover my hand over the screen. Should be a delay or less chance of accidently enabling it.
Samsung has it on the s7 edge that you can have pocket detection and wave to wake.
Must be a way around it.
What is the font of the Samsung default clock?
Thanks in advance
Figured out a workaround.
I realize this post is almost a year old but I have discovered a workaround, at least for the Photo Frame option of the Always On Display. If you make a separate album in your photo gallery with your pictures ROTATED to landscape orientation, and then assign that specific album, it will work.
nice app - just installed it -anyone know if the battery usage / screen burnin issues on this are better / worse than the s8 always-on?
I really appreciate the landscape - hate in the middle of the night the night to see it sideways

True, for example that option is not available in the Italian version.
Don't see what the deal is with shutter sound. I've seen threads on all sorts asking how to turn it off and it creeps me out. The only reason I see for disabling the sound is to take pictures without others knowing.
Yeah, disabled in Hungary as well

In both of those cases, why not just put the phone on silent, then there's no shutter sound when taking pictures.
What's weird is on my unlocked S8+ US version I have no option to turn off the shutter sound in camera settings but on my wife's T-Mobile S8+ that I picked up for her today there is an option in camera settings. Both are on the latest builds.

You could install and use Silent Mode Pro (Camera Mute) which works perfectly on my S8+ with the Samsung stock camera app.

I have the exact same problem. The only difference for me is I am on the Bixby beta and I believe that is where I lost the shutter sound as many apps were updated after that. Unfortunately I am not seeing a way to opt out of the beta. My reason for wanting the shutter sound gone is because my dog is a total weirdo and doesn't like certain sounds including the shutter sound, he just goes nuts.
Are you on the Bixby beta by chance?
yeah you gotta be a weirdo creep to silence your shutter...!! i always turn up the volume when taking pictures of the dark side of my moon at work
