Hi everyone,
I posting here to point out how limited is the Always on display feature on this phone.
Before getting in the subject, what is Always on Display (aod) ?
AOD is a native Samsung feature (it does exist on other phone with different names) that allow smartphones to show informations on the screen when it's off. This feature is useful not to have to turn the screen so many times in the day to check the notifications and hour. This is a feature made possible with AMOLED screens allowing black pixels to stay off and those prevent the screen using much battery.
Now that everyone know what we are talking about, I can show you what I mean and where I want to go with this thread. Here is a screen from a Samsung Galaxy s8:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here on from the A8 :
What appears is that we can't use images even if it is teased on the play store description of the aod app. Here a screen from the play store :
And we cannot use the edge clock.
Finally, the number of backgrounds and customisations is very poor : a very few amount of colors and 4 backgrounds.
I've been looking for a way to use the edge clock, or an image and couldn't find any.
The only partial solution I found for images is an app called Custom AOD
If you have anything to add, or any suggestion, feel free to comment

Thanks for the info. I just bought an A8 through Virgin, I'm in western Canada and hoping to get the update this month...the wifi reliability has been terrible and I've done all the troubleshooting I can. I don't want to send it for warranty (only had it 3 weeks) until I get Oreo and see if it was a software issue that was resolved with the Oreo update.
:good:

About customisation with Oreo: I find it even more restrictive. the background isn't an option anymore. We don't have edge clock (and probably never will since it has been made to fit with the curved screen). Also we still cannot pin images. The only step forward is the access to themes through the store, but let me tell you a thing: it's actually always the same style with just different colors and a different image (that you cannot change by yourself ).
I'm being so negative because I see a lot of potential, I'm always disappointed with those features that doesn't allow personalisation but don't get me wrong, I really like AOP ?

the oreo update is out for every a8 variant other than a530w... we're both stuck on nougat ?
also yes the wifi is VERY bad, i only get half the speed of my wifi and sometimes it even disconnects
this is not a warranty problem either, its supposed to be like that apparently because i sent my phone to warranty and they said it was a software problem...

Mh so right now AOD app features are basically same as high-end devices ones lol (expect edge clock; not sure if it needs just the SecProductFeature string put or if it needs even all the Edge apks/frameworks). If you wanna get some more features (even if I doubt there are lol) open /system/etc/floating_feature.xml file, search for the AOD Feature string (SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_AOD_ITEM) and delete "-fhd_limit," feature.

Thanks for the idea, I'm not rooted tho, I'll wait until the garanty expire before doing so, but I keep the idea in mind. My hope for that feature goes to Android P(if we get it .. in about a year ?) , they can clearly improve it, it's already cool, but it feels so limited speaking of customisation.

It's just as it should be lol, if Samsung continues to add more **** like gifs or more colorful ux on AOD it will drain lot more of battery even tho the phone goes in Doze, and 10% more of battery isn't bad to have

went to best buy to try out the s6 and s6 edge.....couldn't find one - handed operation settings.......has anyone noticed this? this was previously on s5 and note 4.
hoping i missed it and it's still there --- anyone care to comment ?
That was one of the casualties when they pared back TouchWiz. Samsung indicated you could download those features from their app store, but not sure when that will be.

I wish they would just get rid of half the features and make them downloadable. Too much bloatware on the Galaxy devices is what made me consider the iPhone 6.

Yeah. No bloat at all.. Oh look a apple watch app! Uninstall..uninstall!!! Damit!
No doubt apple has more say in what comes preinstalled. But that is probably the worse reason I've ever seen someone give on why they considered an iPhone. Almost as bad as "because it's an iPhone" lol
Same problem here
I also had a hands on with the s6 and the edge yesterday but was unable to find the one handed mode settings anywhere. I also tried looking in the Galaxy App Store but couldn't find it there either. I do hope that they do introduce it as a downloadable app or either include it in a future software update. I really loved that feature and was expecting to see it since it's also present on the 5 inch A5. Let's hope Sammy listens to us and introduces a downloadable app for it soon.
Its a shame its removed as it was an actual useful feature. I mean even the 4.7inch iPhone 6 has some kind of one handed mode as well. I hope they add it back in after a firmware update.

It's not removed, it's actually improved you just pull diagonally from either corner to the size you want. I think it was phone arena review that showed it. Sort of how you do on a Windows pc.

That's multi window not one handed mode.
One thing to keep in mind is that these devices you see on display at various retailers are preinstalled with retail software, heavily restricted as far as the settings are concerned. If you've ever seen a display iPhone with the disability assist mode turned on, you would understand why Samsung does this.

It's a nice feature, but the windowed mode will not work with all apps. Unless there is an Xposed module I don't know of, only main Samsung apps will support that, no 3rd-party ones will.
does xda one-hand mode work on s6 edge?
I have xposed installer and phone is rooted. Installer is recognizing Kingroot and appmanager 5.0 (adds apps to Ultimate Power Save Mode). I installed xda one-hand mode premium and did settings but nothing happening. I re-booted. Still not working and Installer doesn't know it is there.
Any idea if this feature will be back? It is very useful....samsung should remove the other gimmick features instead of the useful ones
At recomhub theres a post (cant post link here) about one handed mode on the S6 with marshmallow, can anyone confirm that it's back? it might be back with 6.0, or that post might be wrong as some older reviews mentioning one-handed mode for the S6

You're talking about this one. http://recomhub.com/blog/how-to-set-up-galaxy-s6-for-one-handed-use/
Nope, a different one, from December 25, 2015, talking about Marshmallow (there are some references in other websites to one-handed mode in the S6 with previous Android versions, but they are clearly wrong)
I've got a co-worker with a S6+ stuck in one handed mode for the keyboard. He doesn't want that, but can't turn it off as there's no "One Handed Operation " anywhere in settings (marshmallow). Anyone solve this?
when will Android 11 update will be available to N9860
it is taking to long to receive it
any one know why ?
No clue....I'm still waiting being on Nov 1 patch!!
My S20 FE (Exynos) already received it month ago, while the Snapdragon version of the same still hasn't received it.
I'm beginning to think Exynos is getting a lot of early love.

It's available on chc csc, but if you use Google dialer ussd codes, android 11 stops them from working so now I can't enable wwd csc. I'm going up downgrade to 10. I lost 5g and many features. Do not like it
I'm on 9860 rooted
It is available on the TGY variant now.

Let us know about features, improvements and battery life when you update.
Anything that was better on Android 10 and ha been worsened in android 11. Good lock modules compatibility etc
Between all this talk of one ui 3 and android 11,do we know if this phone can bee rooted on Android 11 and how exactly?

I updated on the 4th of February but so far the battery usage appears to be similar although it's early days.
The only hiccup so far for me is the amount of apps in the folder that shows on one page i.e 3x4 now, but that's no deal breaker.
Sorry but I do not use Goodlock or any of the plug ins.
The finger print scanner appears faster and more accurate.
I like the way I can tap on the date and time on my lockscreen which now then shows my calendar , music and weather.
All early days.

Call quality is the same.
I mainly use mobile data but WiFi is strong.
Network signal is the same.
I turn my phone off at night and charge then so I'm not sure on charging times.
I use Spotify Premium coupled with Samsung Buds Live and the quality remains very good although I'm no audiophile in any sense of the word.
The new volume bar reminds me a little bit of iOS !

Thank you for your feedback.
Lets see when would I get it in Pakistan
Few bugs for me
- Night mode shots take WAY longer to process
- Camera apparently taking brighter pics than before , I have to always reduce brightness slider for faces
- Gallery straight from GCAM crashes, very slow to load when you delete pics
- Goodlock Multistar, Clockface, Pantastic and Quickstar working with their updated versions
- Battery life almost same
I decided to do factory reset since I'm noticing fps drops in games.
Wow, there is a huge difference now. The phone is literally flying and the games just runs perfect for me now.
I really recommend it if you notice performance drops.
Hi guys
Need some help. Since the last update 9 Feb. I have this weird thing with custom watchfaces. It renders correctly... But as soon as the screen goes off (sleep) the watchfaces changes to this in the picture. And stays like this?
I don't have AOD enabled or anything. I'm. It sure if it's a setting somewhere... But the stock faces is okay.
It's driving me crazy hehe. Not sure why this is happening...
I need to basically uninstall and reinstall the face but then it happens again..

They will have to fix with a patch or something... Alot of faces affected....
It think the original poster of this thread is posting a different (but possibly related) bug than what others are following up on. I believe most of this is about using AOD and sometimes the screen is not updating in ambient (low-power) mode. While this is happening to me, as well, I have not seen the white digital clock appear on my AOD display, ever.
In any case, and I am not sure it will make any difference, but I did report this to Samsung through my Samsung account by opening a "my questions" with the following (most of which from my posting on the other thread on this forum):
After the recent R890XXU1EVA8/R8900XM1EVA8 firmware update, I am experiencing major problems with the always-on display:
There are times that when in lower-power (ambient) mode, it is NOT updating any information on the screen (analog or digital). If I touch the screen, do the "wake up" wrist move, or touch a button, it immediately updates everything. It is unpredictable and intermittent. Prior to this last update, it ALWAYS updated the AOD screen in any condition. Now when I glance down at the watch, I am not sure if that is the actual time or not. And that defeats one of the main purposes of having AOD.
Worse, at other random times, it resists waking from low-power mode, even when pressing a button. I have to press several times and there is a long delay before it goes full-awake, updates the screen, and gives me control. Sometimes when it is acting like this (as if the face is "frozen"), it also doesn't automatically adjust the AOD screen brightness to environmental conditions, either.
And it is not just me. Many others are reporting this on the xda-developers forum:
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 gets new straps, faces...
FYI, a few items for our Samsung Galaxy watch 4 ⌚: https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-watch-4-straps-2022-3103478/
forum.xda-developers.com
And on Reddit, one user suggested this as a possible root cause:
“For watchfaces that make use of WatchFaceService.Engine, the onTimeTick() method is called once a minute to update the watch screen when in ambient mode. This allows the watch to display the correct time, even when the user hasn't interacted with the watch recently. After the latest GW4 system update, the onTimeTick() method is no longer being called while in ambient mode. This seems like a newly-introduced bug, but could just possibly be a misguided attempt to save battery.”
I would appreciate it if you would look into this, because it is absolutely ruining my experience with your product. Thanks

Well, that was a waste. I got an Email saying I had to report it through "help" on the website. So I went there and did a chat and had to escalate to a "pro" who could take the information for a ticket. Now I have a ticket number. Who knows if it will get anywhere from there. But at least I tried (twice).

Im spamming update button, but i have a sneaky suspicion, its going to stay like that. I dont tink its a bug, but rather an enhancement or something. (You know Samsung)
I think the watchmakers will need to update their watches to not use that stay awake function thing....(All my old favourite watch faces broken :'()
Hopefully im wrong......... LOL
I have this same problem still, even after latest update a few days ago, it's so frustrating that I can only really use Samsung's watchfaces at the moment! Does anyone know any sort of workaround?

Hi there...
Yes I hear your pain. Same here. I was so excited to see that 107mb update... Immediately tested those watchfaces. Still the same
I started using Watchmaker watchfaces working well. Very good repo of free faces aswell....
I still hope for a fix... Maybe the next one. So sad

I haven't had the chance to download the beta version yet, so I'm even more excited to see what will be introduced to us this Thursday.
I have watched ours of YT videos about Android Tiramisu and One UI 5, but haven't noticed many changes or real upgrades that would make it attractive to me. I saw a preview of ColorOS 13' design and the quantum animation engine which looks like it will boost the app performance and usability.
Comparison video I found:
(@ Mods please remove the video link if not ok)
What are you expecting from this upcoming launch? I saw the teaser posts where it says "smart & connect" so I expect that we will see a feature or function that integrates the device into a wider system, maybe with the OPPO Pad. Also I think we will see a big pump in performance through the quantum animation engine
Smart and Connected is a nice hint. Connected in which way is the question

Been trying out different features, mostly the Bitmoji in AOD but it has been causing my phone to heat up in minutes. I turned it off for now but it's cute that they integrated it as a new feature.

In the new AOD settings, there are new features such as
Contextual Info which gives you options to add Music playback which opens your Spotify, and there are
Supported Apps which gives me a Chinese menu and says No data yet
I shared a screenshot below if it helps.
Sorry to hear that @E. Marine Life

I've had the beta version since the 3rd and I have had a love-hate relationship with it throughout the past few weeks, at least until the 2nd patch of updates.
I like how edge lighting is included whenever you receive notifications
Sure Bitmoji, Climate Change, and the new AOD playback is cool. I tried turning on Screen always on and within a couple of minutes, my phone was heating up - so I'm not sure how I feel about this yet
I like the smart sidebar, but I have already seen this in One UI 4.0 so it's just nice to have it here now
The media player widget section in the shelf drawer is only okay if you're playing any music. Since I don't use it, I don't like it as much since I can't remove it.
Aquamorphic still has to be seen

This is likely an improvement to PC Connect since they have their own tablet. They are all probably connected through the oppo-verse.

Thanks for sharing this bro! Did you notice anything new in the second beta vs the first?

The media player widget section in the shelf drawer is only okay if you're playing any music.

I did not see this in the shelf drawer. Are you referring to the widgets on the screen? Or the control center?

Not sure how I missed that.
Is the Quantum Animation Engine a hardware that allows that seamless transition? Or is it how they call the transition?

It's interconnectivity across their devices since they have a tablet coming out

This is likely an improvement to PC Connect since they have their own tablet. They are all probably connected through the oppo-verse.

A demo was shown in the launch last night. You can view your phone screen on your laptop and use it from there. A useful feature for when you are on your laptop and don't want to get inconvenienced holding your phone or if you have it in a bag.

Been trying out different features, mostly the Bitmoji in AOD but it has been causing my phone to heat up in minutes. I turned it off for now but it's cute that they integrated it as a new feature.
Did you experience any overheating too?

Hi!
Android 13 / One UI 5 is now officially released for S22 Ultra, and many of us wish to discuss it, but information is scattered across the forums, so I wanted to have a central place that deals directly with the final/stable release so I can gain feedback and possibly help you.
Here's what this topic is about:
Android 13 / One UI 5 on S22 Ultra (Both Exynos (Global/Rest of World) and Snapdragon (US version) variants are supported by this topic)
Here's what this topic is NOT about -- please do NOT post about these, I will not answer.
The beta releases (The final/stable release is available, just upgrade!)
Any upcoming versions (such as Android 14 / One UI 6)
Any other devices in the series (such as S22, S22+, S21 FE)
Any other problems you have with the device, not related to Android 13 (such as how to install GCAM, those have their own topics)
I really wish to know how you feel about Android 13 / One UI 5 on your phone. I'm an app developer and an IT technician and I am happy to help as well as gain feedback.
Hi bro
My S22 Ultra got updated when the update showed up here in Scandinavia. To be honest, I can't see any difference after the update. Haven't actually had any problems before, but I have noticed that CPU frequency seems to have been raised quite a bit compared to on Android 12.
Regards DeHAWK .

And battery life difference?
My few impressions:
General look and feel: I absolutely love this update. Modes and routines, call background, notifications update, stacked widgets etc. - everything's so customizable (was before as well). iPhones are still so boring compared.
Battery: few days after factory reset I was so happy about my battery. After I installed my "100 apps" - everything's back to normal - 3hrs+ of SOT despite all the config I make (sleeping apps etc). Plus 1-2hrs of SOT if I'm at home connected to Wifi.
General impression:
1. It is much better to experience One UI 5/Android 13 if you factory reset your device. I've done this since my last Google Pixel device (which is Pixel 3 XL). With less to no bugs encountered along the way.
2. Work profile works perfectly using Island app & Work Profile Demo (from Android Enterprise Page), except Shelter app that mess with my personal profile and because of that, I was forced to factory reset again.
3. When it comes to backup, I've did back it up using Google One & Smart Switch (Both on PC & Cloud). Funny thing, after factory reset, my device did not show up on the restoration lists that I backed up from Google One. Other than that, some banking apps needed to be re-installed as it needed to be installed from the Play Store and not from other sources like Smart Switch.
4. I still hate the fact that Good Lock & Good Guardians are not available on my region UNLESS I remove my local PH SIM Cards, use a US VPN & Clear Galaxy Store Cache & Data for me to download those and its modules.
Notification icons on lock screen and notification shade are white circles.
does anyone have the problem when receiving a message from whatsapp or viber in the notification panel the message ist bold and bigger then on the Android 12

Unfortunately this is a bug in the Theme Park application within Good Lock. Any change there to darker colors triggers white circles for notification icons on in the notification shade. Disable any theme you've created and it should revert to the normal, colored notification icons. Annoying. Waiting on an update to Theme Park to fix.

Thanks very much. I will disable my theme for now.

It's SM-S9080 HK variant, right? Beta 6 has been rolling out since October 26 & Ice Universe says it will come within this week.

I'm just impressed by how smooth everything feels now. I like the buttery feel while scrolling and the snappier animations. Battery life seems quite good so far. Overall I'm really happy with the update.

Same.
I was not offered to restore apps and app data.
US/Snapdragon/VZW variant here, the biggest change I have noticed with the update is that my fingerprint reader is now significantly more accurate and responsive. On OneUI 4/Android 12 it would work probably 75% of the time on the first scan, and it was very finicky about the orientation of my finger touching the sensor.
On the advice of someone else on another site, I deleted and re-added my fingerprints after the update and now the fingerprint reader is ~95% accurate. It also seems to work better if my hands are less than perfectly dry or less than perfectly clean.
Battery life seems mostly unchanged, and haven't encountered any significant bugs/errors/glitches so far.
I really don't want to make a new thread for this so I'm going to put it here. Gsam was working fine before the update, and it also works well on the Pixel 7 pro on Android 13. But it doesn't work anymore on oneui 5.0. Anyone else have this?
Nothing new for One UI 5, only the icons on the notifications changed. Still the same crappy, laggy animations, I don't understand why they can't make them like iOS, smooth AF, not skipping frames, not weird glitches.
