Hey ya'll,
Finally upgraded to the S8+ from an S7
Setting up as usual, and noticed the brightness is too high.
So I go to turn on Auto Brightness only to find-
There's no option for it.
No button, no check box in the context menu on the nav bar, no selection in Display settings, Accessibility, or Dev options.
What the heck?
I've already checked the forums here and went to Google- no answers.
The S8 seems to have an option for it- was it removed for BS reasons in the plus model?
Or is it hidden really well?
I seem to recall Samsung once hiding the Mobile Data button a few years ago on a previous model; dunno if it's the same thing this time around.
Screenshots added for proof.

Hey All,
For the moment, I have stock COK2, 5.1.1 on a N915P (Sprint).
Am I being an idiot, or am I missing a setting? The notifications that should be on the edge screen aren't showing up there. I get a popup at the top of the screen instead.
Under Settings > Edge Screen > Notifications, I have it ticked to show notifications on edge screen, but nada.
I switched to Messenger as default, changed that setting, went back to Signal as my default S/MMS, nope. Can't see anything in Nova Launcher.
The edge screen itself works fine for anything else. What am I missing?
Well, it seems that said popup is "feature".
EF.
Thanks!
Maybe it's too late for answer, but this EDGE features are connected with Touchwiz. So, if you are using other launcher, you IMHO cannot use this features
Do you have the right edge panel checked? Theres only one of them that receives notifications if i remember correctly.

If you are in 5.1.1, that was the bug where Samsung did not repair it but it was solved with 6.0.1. It happen to me prevoulsly. The notification did come back sometimes but it's gone when I restart my note edge. It works perfectly now on Marshmallow.

Certain notification pop-ups appear that I can't figure out where to turn them off. One example is each time my phone pairs with my Gear S2 watch (e.g. I walk out of BT range and then come back), another is a 'finding location' popup because I set smart lock to keep the phone unlocked when I'm at home.
Anyone know which notification to turn off for these service-level items?
Bonus round: I read in either the manual or a review that double-tapping a popup notification on the lock screen should launch the app. I took that to mean that since I have smart lock active it should just go to the app, however I'm still forced to swype the screen; double-tap on the pop-up notification doesn't do it. Are my expectations wrong or do I need to tweak yet another setting?
Sorry for all the questions. I just came from being on pure stock Android for several years and Samsung has added all their own settings layer which makes it a little confusing as I'm switching phones.
Hey guys
Just got the tab 2 8.0, and it updated to nougat right away.
From pictures and videos I've seen, i see the reading mode toggle when expanding quick settings .
But mine seems to be missing that toggle .. am i the only one ? Can anyone with a t713 confirm if they have the reading mode toggle in quick setting or no ?
If i do go to display, and select display mode, reading mode is there and i can set it.
Attaching picture to show what i have seen online and what im missing (bottom left icon)

Took delivery of my S9 yesterday, my 1st foray into the world of android. Is there anyway to disable pop-up previews and just have a badge number to notify you when you have a WhatsApp message?. I have some fairly active WhatsApp groups and if I'm browsing the web, watching youtube, etc, basically doing anything on the phone at all its constantly previewing WhatsApp messages, toggling pop-ups off doesn't work, 2 minutes later they default back to on. If it can't be done its an absolute disaster, I can't believe anyone puts up with this - makes the phone almost un-usable. HELP!
Thanks in advance, Justin

I am having exactly the same problem with my S9+. and it is infuriating me! I have opened support cases with Whatsapp and Samsung regarding this because it is not normal functionality. On previous Android phones (LG G5, LG G6, Nexus 6p) i have been able to hide pop ups and keep the notifications as per normal, with the S9 its either everything on or turn off completely.
I have found a temporary workaround but it means all your notifications will be silent. You may be able to play around with the settings to get something that works for you!
Here is what i have done:
Go into Whatsapp > Settings > Notifications
Conversation Tones - Box unchecked
Notification Tone - Silent
Vibrate - Off
Popup Notification - No Popup
Now go to the home screen and go
Settings > Notifications > WhatsApp > Message Notifications
Importance - High
Sound - Silent
Vibrate - Off
App Icon Badges - On
On lock Screen - Hide Content
Finally make sure you have Edge Lighting Disabled
Settings > Display > Edge Screen > Edge Lighting Off
I hope that a fix for this is rolled out soon because its ruining my experience of my first Samsung.

Thanks so much for the reply, I've resorted to simply blocking the notifications entirely as whatever I change seems to magically revert back to what I can only assume is the default setting. Makes me almost certain its system/app bug opposed to operator error.
How something as rudemental as this makes it through BETA is almost beyond comprehension, such a shame. I can't believe that none of the top review and tech guys on YouTube haven't noticed this either.
As I mentioned in the OP this is my first android experience, how quick are things like this usually cleaned up? praying its resolved quickly!
I have the same issue it's becoming too annoying
Me too having the same issue.. with S9 Plus
Is there anyway we can hide the icon of whats app but phone should vibrate?
S20 WhatsApp notifications
And so here we are, 2 years on from the original WhatsApp notification issue on the s9, I'm sat here about the throw my brand new S20 against the wall for similar reasons.
My issue is, I can't seem to switch off the vibrate alert, whatever combination of settings I use I can't mute the vibrate without turning the whole phone to silent. I managed to sort it on the s9 with a random combination of settings that included having the alert set to high priority (for some reason), that option doesn't seem available these days. What an absolute farce. If anyone has managed to figure a work around, any help would be greatly appreciated!
I really only want it to emulate an LED notification light while the screen is off. I've tried multiple 3rd party apps from the play store, but none of them work correctly, and when I looked for the Always-On-Display manually in System Settings, its not under Display or Lock Screen. Searching also comes up with nothing. Am I crazy? One of the selling points of this phone was AoD (like Pixel 4, and 3a before it) but I'm not finding it.
It took me a bit to find it on my wife's new 4a, but it's Settings/Display/Advanced/Lock screen display/Always on.
ETA...Ha! I never remember there's a search box at the top of Settings. I typed "always" into it and it immediately shows the "Always on" setting.
Thank you! This helped me track it down. Apparently the setting is hidden unless you have a lock screen set up, despite the fact that it works without a lock screen. That's also why it didn't appear in my search results. If you want an Always On Display but no lock, you have to enable Swipe to Unlock, enable the "always on" setting following your menu path, and then turn off Swipe to Unlock. Thanks Google ?
