GALAXY S6 SM-G920F Problems

I just bought the mentioned phone and I'm experiencing some weird problems on it. For example, I disabled most of the google apps by going to the App menu > Edit and disabled them by pressing the "minus" on the icon. Now if I want to re-enable them in Settings > Applications by going to the Disabled Apps section, pressing Enable and it gives me the option to DISABLE it again? WTF? Seems like I can't enable any app I disabled now..
The second thing is, it's more of a question really.. If I long press the home button, it only makes a short vibration and does nothing at all, is that normal or should something pop-up?

I mean really!? Ok, when you've pressed the enable toogle and the toggle becomes "disable" it means the app is already enabled and it gives you the option to disable it again.
Long press of the home button brings you to google now app, you must have disabled it.

I don't understand the bold text I quoted from you.. What do you mean? I clearly stated that I've disabled an app, and if I press to enable it, it offers me to disable it.. which is, already disabled?!?!?
Sorry for the misunderstanding but I don't get it how could I disable a already disabled app?!?

I mean when the button has the word "disable" on it. It means it's already running and app is ready for use.. Vice versa, if it has the word "enable" on the button.

I have DISABLED an app, therefore the app is DISABLED. If I want to enable it, the button there clearly says "Enable" but when I try to do that, I get a pop up as I was trying to disable it, which it already is.. Why don't you get it? xD

Ohh I get it now, if you've disabled it and the app is already updated, and you're trying to enable it again. Just click the pop up to disable it again, it just wants you to uninstall the updates and it reverts back to the apps factory version, and press the enable toggle again, the app will be enabled. You just have to reupdate the app again. In the touchwiz home you can directly disable an app but in the applications manager when you try to disable apps you have to uninstall the updates. Since disabling through the home launcher is just a shortcut.
Just touchwiz things.

Wow.. never knew that.. Is that normal? Happens to everyone or is it just me?

It's normal, if you're not rooted. It's not really a bug, it's just a feature of touchwiz. My stock S5 and S4 has this, too.

Oh okay then.. I thought I got some faulty phone Any news on when is the ram management fix coming? Seems like my ram is staying at 80-90% at all times.. even when I'm not running any apps..
Also, do you recommend disabling the apps you don't use? For example I have disabled most of the google apps on there, since I'm not prone to use them..

Unidentified side bar on nexus 5

Hello xda,
I need some help. I have nexus 5. It's rooted. And I use xposed modules. I have been a facing this problem since today. Whenever I swupe from left a black rectangular box appears on the side of the phone.. And I tap on it several times, swipe, long press ( I don't know what works) to get rid of it.. Need help figuring out what it is and how to disable it. Images of the same have been attached
Following is the list of modules that I use
Gravitybox
Snapprefs
Clean lockscreen
Zoom for Instagram
I have but not activated
Xmulti window
Boot manager
And had uninstalled xsuite today or yesterday don't remember
Thankyou in advance

At first, reboot into safe mode to check if this side bar is caused by a user or system app.
Then try again without Gravitybox. There's a black border like that when changing the position of LMT Launcher. Do you have it?
Another solution would be to record a log when you tap on it.

Did not understand your reboot into safe mode solution. Can you explain what exactly to do and how to fibd out if it is a system app or user app. I do not have any launcher. How do I record a log?

S7 problems

Hello,
I have some troubling issues with my "newly"-acquired phone. The previous owner has sold me a mildly used S7 with latest Oreo update, all stock, no tampering whatsoever.
However, either it's just me or I can't figure out some basic things:
1) Can't find homescreen buttons settings (i.e. Menu and Back button) for backlight.
2) Front LED indicator doesn't work with FB/Messenger/etc notifications - it does work when the phone is charging/is charged. Tried *#0*#, it works just fine.
3) App "bubbles" also doesn't work for me. While Messenger seemingly shows missed messaged, FB app still refuses to show any notifications.
Anyone got idea? I could try factory reset, but it already was reseted when I got it.
I could try to flash the rom with different carrier, but I seriously doubt it can solve such problems.
Thanks in advance!

1. Long press on blank part of home screen to access home screen settings. Stock doesn't give the option to adjust back light for menu and back button. A third party launcher does like Nova Launcher.
2 settings >notifications >advanced, find Facebook app and enable
Also app icon badges in home screen settings
3. As above

1) Thanks but for basic thing like adjusting backlight, I don't wanna use any third party app, for what should be already in phone. My Galaxy W had it, My S5 mini had it too, this is just stupid.
2) All notifications are enabled, all badges are enabled too. I tried turning them off, getting some notification and turning them on. Worked in 1 outta 20 tries, ergo - I got it all enabled permanently and it still won't work.
3) As above

Question Acessibility problem

Hello,
I'm writing about a problem with accessibility settings.
For example, I use applications such as Button Mapper and App volume control, which require accessibility ON.
In the application, I have set no restriction on the battery, and also autostart and in recent apps I have these apps locked. But if I kill all applications from recent - then the mentioned apps also stop working. I have to turn them on again and also enable accessibility again. I have been using these applications for a long time on different phones and there is no problem like this.
(I don't want to see these applications running in recent apps)
I use the latest xiaomi.eu ROM, but I had the same problem with the Global version.
Thanks for any help.

You can "lock" an app to prevent it from being killed.
Launch the app with the accessibility settings you want, display the apps currently running but instead of killing all apps click and hold on the one you want to keep. You should see a "lock" option here.
Hope that helps

Thanks for your reply, but I already have this apps locked in recent apps but not working.

Hmmm, that's weird, I have the same kind of issue using Macrodroid to automate some tasks, and they even advise in-app to follow that method to keep the required accessibility settings (method that isn't required on non-Xiaomi devices) and it does work.
What exactly is the issue, the apps still get killed even locked or do they just lose their settings?
Someone with better knowledge of MIUI might give a better answer ^^

I had the same problems and fixed them by disabling energy saving management and activated autostart.

Question widgetupdatet and musicproxy

I can successfully run widgetupdatet and musicproxy on my uis7862 unit.
But I think i need to make it start at boot/wakeup and also make it not battery optimized
So for start at boot/wake up, i turn it on with User - application. But this make widgetupdater app show up everytime when unit boot up, which i prefer it to hidden
For battery optimized setting, I don't have battery option from my setting menu.
May I have your advice on this?
@KёniG
Thanks

Hello.
The newest firmware doesn't have battery settings. Install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut and find "Settings suggestions". Launch it and type in the search field "Battery".

cool, thanks. Let me try this app on my unit for battery setup part
May I know how about the startup part, anyway I can make the app screen do not popup and make a more silent startup?
(for my firmware, I can make app startup automatically in settings -> user -> application settings
Thanks again

@KёniG
I've switched to paid version and turn on "silent start" seems it will just flash then go away which is good now.
However I don't find the way to open the app to change settings anymore (don't see the icon at notification menu) . need to wipe out the app data to get back to setting screen

My answer above is about silent start up.
If you have the restricted notification bar it is required to reinstall the app to enter settings. Silent mode is not appropriate way for you.

Thanks, so either I can still choose silent startup but need to reinstall app if i need to change settings
Or
I dont make it silent startup but i will see the setting screen everytime the unit starts?
and one last thing
After I use musicproxy+widgetupdater. When I use my wheel button - "mode" to change the source, it will go through radio, Phone, Bluetooth music, then my specified music player, then stopped if i press "mode" again. Originally, the next app is the map and then loop back to radio. Is it normal behaviour?
Thank you so much

Played a bit more, seems AIMP is working fine to loop the button cycle.

Your problem got solved?

silent startup still make the app no longer configurable but is ok as I don't think need to always configure that often.
For wheel button issue, I find out is my specific app (KKBox) issue. If I change to AIMP or another music app then is working fine to cycle the sources.
And i think a setting which is quite useful for me is "Multiple music app" which will show current playing app info in that widget area
