he is on the international version.
I am loving this feature and I did not realize it was a part of the latest update. I got my S8 yesterday so I didn't have much time to play around before an update showed up which I installed straight away. It's great if you are playing games without the fullscreen setting on as it makes games seem bigger by itself.
I have the same build. ATT carrier US device. No hide navbar feature for me...
it's good but what would be better is if it remembered your choice for different apps. There are some apps like instagram which I'm always needing the back button. Other like BBC News which i'm reading longer stories so don't 'need it
And they shouldn't have killed the colour picker option for the nav bar. That's horrible

Could you elaborate on how to do this with tasker? Also, how did get pie control?
Was there anything else on this update?
I had gotten the feature, then I tried to use Custom Navigation Bar app, and even after uninstalling the app the feature doesn't come back. I wanna cry =(
After update to latest update Bixby vision can only see text , no image or webpage .
I am on 950FD stock
Please any help
In some apps it works buggy, for example in snapchat when you take a picture the bottom part of the screen shows cam recording. But it is a cool feature

This morning I have noticed on my s4 and n7 the menu option for add to home screen has disappeared from both devices.
Why would this be? I loved this feature.
Version 31.0.1650.60 on both devices.
The option has completely gone.
Any help?
Any idea why add to home screen has disappeared?
When I press on pages I have already saved it says "app is not installed"

Google / Chrome devs acknowledge this, and say the feature will be back. Really annoying, as we factored it into a solution - i.e., build a proof of concept as a web app, and run it in fullscreen app mode on the phone and tablets. Incredibly disappointing that they handled it this way. There's also an experimental flag you can set to supposedly re-enable it (type Chrome://flags in URL bar, and scroll down till you see the option to enable it). Seems to work on ICS, but not on JB or KK (at least on my devices). Horribly disappointed.

Thanks for the help, but no success.. This was one of my most anticipated features going into release. Especially because of the fullscreen mode... Where am I left with this? Removing GEL? Will this be available again sooner rather than later?
Thanks.

Wish I knew. It was a mistake relying on a beta feature, but this was so good that we already adopted it for use in a product mockup / wireframe demo. Looked perfect on Android phones and tablets in Chrome...A real web app. Now...not so much.

Hi guys here you have a proper review of the Nougat firmware for the S7 edge based on my personal experiences.
So I installed it yesterday night via odin thx to @laimonas777.
With my own experiences I can say it is not as nice as I had thought.. It's hard to use, it's full with small bugs and delays and sometimes it can even freeze up to 30 seconds (My experiences).
Every app has got the new GraceUI of the Galaxy Note 7 including the settings app.
One of the best Nougat features, the display scaling option has got "only" 2 different options which do not differ that much from the standard option.
Let's talk about the Notification panel. You now have 6 toggles visible at the top but you cant swipe anymore. When you pull the statusbar twice you will see 9 toggles per page. Its much harder to find one toggle you are searching for because of the 3 toggle pages. On Marshmallow all toggles were visible in one "page".
Also the colors could have been better but I think everyone has its own opinion there.
Something which is also weird is that you have a search bar on the notification panel but actually you cant type anything in there. Instead, this textfield will just open the finder app.
The camera has got newer options and a totally different but perfect UI which I really like. But the new color modes are actually not that important features and were also aviable partially in 6.0.
Lets move on to the recent apps panel, which is a big pain.. The recent items got taller just like in stock nougat but the scrolling is a very big pain. Its just as the android nougat developer preview 1 for nexus devices also there are some minor graphical glitches which I have shown in the video.
Another thing I want to mention are the notifications. And yes, they are ugly but i am sure samsung will fix that. On every notification where you can tap for an action (example whatsapp, to reply) is a grey bar, which looks horrible. You can see it in the attached ss
Performancewise it hasnt got big changes but dont forget the delays when opening some specific apps etc. The battery consumption is also a bit higher but all these will get fixed with the final build (hopefully).
But now lets talk about the positive things :silly:. The Multiwindow option has got much better than it was on all other touchwiz versions, in short, its almost the same as in stock android nougat. Another thing which is perfect is the Window apps mode where you can open apps in window mode. We all know how bad this option was in Touchwiz, maybe no one of you ever have used it but now the window mode is very good and snappy. The negative thing there is that you cant deactivate these both modes anymore. So always when you try to pull down the notification panel from the right or left top corner, it will just open the current app always in window mode which is quite annoying.
And something which is annoying like hell is that if you play a game like doodle jump where you dont need to touch the screen the screen always turns off after a while. So the auto screenoff option doesnt get disabled while playing games or (maybe) even while watching a movie.
Galaxy Labs is now removed, so now you cant get all apps on your homescreen and you cant hide the appdrawer.
Remember that this is a very early beta build, and all of these bugs are normal and wont be there in the finale build.
Here is a quick video about the update to see how it looks
What about a dark theme...it was rumoured that Android N will have a dark theme not only that light one. Also the existing themes in store (for Samsung) work properly on N or not?

Keep in mind this is the frist beta released from samsung, so some things might hopefully change by the release of the final firmware. Also, you do have scaling other than going through the developer options. Go to Display -> Font and you will get to cgoose both the Screen zoom (which is set to almost huge idk why) and of course the font size. This comes to be as tha Normal and Condensed options back from marshmallow.
Hey glad to help. nice rview my friend. . :good:
P.S What happened to the hand?
I'm using the ota build and its running lovely to be fair
Touchwiz is rubbish anyways and just install nova which makes Icons smaller

Hello, thank you for great review. Could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone beta software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper&hl=en
Could you run this app and post screenshot while connected to LTE only(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer with screenshot.
Thank you

Strange review .... I have been using it also since yesterday, and it is faster and smoother then my MM stock ...
Agreed there is some laggs when double tapping the multi tasking bouton, but overall its snapier and more responsive.
Also I have not noticed any freeze. I find this beta very polished to be honest.
Have you done a full wipe before installing ? or OTA ?

Thank you. Does not seem to report more info than in android 6.0.1. If you see LTE band reported on Cellmapper screen you can make another screenshot, but it seems that this functionality might not be there.
It's not a review, it's a rant. I literally have no issues with it, no freezes what so ever, it's actually snappier than MM.
I think the 'review' tag should be removed from this thread or it should be locked, as it is full of false information and the corrections to that false information have been given, but the 'review' hasn't been updated. If people read this thread thinking it is accurate, they will get false information.
The comment about display options, for instance, is just the OP not knowing what to do. It's not something wrong or an option that has been removed, it's just a lack of knowledge.

Yeah, I don't get that with any app. The only thing a bit laggy is the "new window" tab animation in the browser and the notification bar. Apart from those two things, it is fine.

No. Everything is working perfectly fine.
Working flawlessly. SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
Music controls work ?
I'm lost some background effects (green leaf for exemple).
Thanks. Seems to be working fine with Nova launcher. I just wish there was a way to rotate the lock screen. I use it as my nightstand clock.
Like this every AOD was working for me, music controls didn't work with this one too. No difference
All other apk from sammobile.com/apk mostly work too like the latest touchwiz launcher.
Could someone upload the apk to googld drive or smth? I can't seem to download anything from the sight
Confirmed. Downloaded and it's working for me too.
It disables the night clock for me

Hey guys I was wondering about the Pie update specifically multitasking I've noticed that in pixel phones you get live apps in multitasking screen and I was really excited for this feature but I just got my oneplus oneplus 6 2 weeks ago and I and I was surprised that it wasn't implemented so does anyone have an idea why it was cut out or even if its coming later in an incremental update?
Thanks in advance loving the phone btw

Do you mean copying from multitasking? Indeed I can't make it work but it doesn't like a huge absolutely needed feature.
Or do you mean having suggested apps at the bottom? I've actually never seen this feature on any other videos. Maybe it was only in the previews but it wasn't kept in final Pie?

If you use the classic navigation buttons (back / home / recents), do you know that double tapping recents allows you to switch to the last app. I'm sure you'll find it as convenient if not more!

you can actually do that with new bar as well swipe where the multitasking used to be and it will switch between apps

Copying text from recents is a Google Pixel exclusive, no other phone has it. The only way to get it on other devices is to install Lawnchair along with Lawnstep, where this feature is/will be available (they were planning to add it, not sure if that happened already though).
EDIT: Ooor just use a custom ROM supporting this feature, should there be one.
Hi all.
Today I received the new android p update. But unfortunately differences are little to none.
Have you received the update yet?
Whats your experience with android p on lg g7?
Have you noticed much improvements?
I noticed notifications are little bit different, you have option to minimize those permanent notifications without being able to see them in notification bar. And you get options for fast reply messages form viber... probably some other apps. But it wasn't there before. And Gestures are here. I still use app called Gesture control for this coz I like it more like that. And ofc there is different recent apps look. Looks better. Other than that, everything is same.
I use google sms app and have had the notification and fast reply already.
Unfortunately I am disappointed that lg did not put any time to improve the ui.
What about camera? I do not see any improvements.
I noticed also magnified view when I try to select some text. And in camera there is now cine shot which lets you make some photos with some part moving like animation.
There is probably more of changes that I dont notice. I use nova luncher with custom themes so I knot nothing about UI how it looks like now and can't remember how it looked before.
