Is it normal for the bottom of the screen to be darker../have sort of a darkish shadow around the home and back buttons on screen.. I noticed it alot on the default wall paper when my phone is at the lock screen right below the ^ and camera icons
Thanks

Any way to remove it? Unticking the remove shadows on nova settings does nothing.

The shadows are by 4.4 design. Before you just had the black background of the navigationbar

Yeah, I am aware that they're there by design. But I was trying to remove them... They certainly don't look bad.

No possibility to remove them. Wait for an custom rom with transparent bar support like in older 4.3 builds (I used transparent bas already long time ago with custom roms on the GNex without any shadow) and you will be able to remove them. Or you just use a launcher without transparent 4.4. support and the bars will be black again.
Looks like an upside down S. What is it and how do I disable it?

Screen shot would be nice. It could be alot of things.
Samsung does have a phone health app and it has plus and roundish icon while in the status bar
I have just updated the firmware on the SM-G955F and used the hide option for the Nav bar.
I now have a burn in for the Nav bar. Definitely obvious on any whitish background.
Anyone with the same issue?
Nope.

You dont have burn in on the nav bar, you have burn in on the rest of the screen. the nav bar is the non burnt bit, assuming your nav bar was black of course.
Get AMOLED Burn-In Fixer from the play store. I occasionally runnitnon my Pixel XL to reduce/eliminate burn in. Works really well. I turn my brightness up all the way, and either set the screen timeout to 30 minutes, or use developer options to keep the screen on while charging, then I just run the app overnight while I'm asleep. Screen down so it doesn't light up my room.
I'm sure it will work on the S8+ as well.

I don't know where you got that information, but that is not correct.
I took my phone to a Service Center and they replaced the screen on account of burn in.

That's impossible. The navbar buttons more around over time slightly so there isn't any burn in. If burn in was an issue then your status bar would be F'd.

Do you already have it back and is your screen better overall? No red tint anymore when tilted?
when in doubt throw it out, meaning warranty exchange or refund. end the pain before it continues

no option to hide unless you got adb and fastboot command lines to do so. here in the usa no one has that update yet. im using abd and fastboot PC app to use commands. ive had bar hidden for 48 days.

Hey guys , I want to know how to enable the percentage next to the battery icon on the top right of the screen
Does someone know how to do this ?
I am from Germany and got the pie update by OTA after that I did a hard reset.
It seems like the way like it was done on oreo bin removed ( settings,device maintenance, battery, dots, advanced settings )
It's also now called device care and the advanced settings are completely removed
Help would be appreciated
Greetings Cees.
