How to hide the Samsung Galaxy A20's teardrop notch - Samsung Galaxy A20 Guides, News, & Discussion

As you know, the Samsung Galaxy A20's teardrop notch cannot be hidden from the Settings app, but
it turns out the notch can be hidden using the settings command via ADB.
This video explains how to hide the notch:

Go to 3:00.
The result is not as elegant as e.g. the OnePlus 6T's hiding of the notch but it is acceptable.

Thank you.

The notch can be hidden in settings.
Settings -> Display -> Full Screen Apps -> Advanced Settings -> Hide Camera Cutout.

Found it, thanks. Oddly when I searched Settings for "cutout" this option doesn't come up.
Now if there were only a way to move the status bar icons above into the black area, like the OnePlus allows.

I use an App called Nacho Notch from Google Play, that does exactly what you want.

Thanks for the tips guys ! :good:

Completely disable the notch to have the notification bar back

It seems that google pixel 3 xl have a developer option for it, i wonder if we can see this kind of option in the future for all phones, it would be great, in fact it would fix the notification issues that its currently the mi8 and the poco f1 have because of the notch.
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/10/10/can-turn-off-pixel-3-xl-notch-developer-options/
Notifications are already being looked at.
Yes, I m also thinking that, poco have very wide notch, even with notification icons beside notch is clumsy..
It would be nice if we can completely disable notch area and show notification under notch.
You can actually already disable the notch on Poco F1 by going to Settings - Full Screen Display - Hide Notch.

the notch implementation by xiaomi its just not good enough, the notification its not working well, and to be honest i rather have the whole extra mm screen disable completely and have that bezel but i can have back all notifications and normal status bar

You should post this on miui forum or tweet to jai mani. Its actually a nice idea. Plus our notch is not giant like pixel 3xl, so it won't be a problem if we disable that part completely!
Ok so i came up with nice idea for fixing that weird hide notch settings, those upper corners looks weird and mismatch with lower corners, but with cornerfly it looks great

I use rounded corners and I have problems pressing the hamburger, search and 3 dot icons. Does cornerfly also have these problems?

I use Rounded Corner app not Roundr. Also Rounded corner app can go up to 115 radius which is a perfect copy of the bottom corners of our device, the only problem is that I have difficulty on pressing icons near the rounded corners.

36 is the most symmetrical right now but not as perfect as 115 on Rounded corner app..
ultimate notch solution —— just return to traditional display disign. hope developers can port this feature to Oreo since Pie don't support Xposed.
on the other way, if there's an double notification bar………

Solution for missing Full Bezel (Notch) option in developer settings

Hey Guys! I just got my Nokia 8.1 today and it came with the notch hidden. I was surprised when I could't find the option to turn it on in the developer settings where it should be named Full Bezel.
So I tried googling it (duh!) and I've seen a lot of people complaining about it but there was no easy solution., just something over SDK or something, which I don't really know how to use.
So basically the option is hidden but it is still in the settings.
Soooooo I got an Idea and tried this:
1. Install Nova Launcher (you don't have to use it, just install it)
2. Tap And hold on home screen and go to widgets
3. Chose Nova Launcher - Activities and place it on home screen
4. Scroll Down until you find settings and open it
5. Now scroll all the way down until you see Status bar style (.settings$NotchSettingsActivity)
6. Select it
BOOM! A direct shortcut to the Full Bezel setting!
Hope this will be helpful to someone. :fingers-crossed:

System UI > Glance Style
And yeah, it changes nothing.
Btw, if you chose System UI demo mode from System UI you'll get a System UI tuner where you can manage icons on notification bar. I've added a headset icon because it's not showing by default when it's connected.

Hello,
according to nokiapoweruser dot com, seems that there is a new update including February security patch that enables the option directly in the settings
It is not yet available in my location, let's see

Yeh, yeah, I saw that, too, but then only a small percentage of users got the update. That's why I had to find an alternative solution. And still there is no update in my region as well. And it's March 11! Hopefully they'll skip the previous one and give us the March SP update.
Edit: Just got the Feb... I really was hopping they'll bundle it with March SP but it doesn't matter. Hopefully the next one wont be delayed as much.
Anyway, even after the update I don't have the option to turn the notch on and off directly from settings.

yep got the update as well and option is not present
You can download Settings Database Editor from Playstore. Look for Notch full bezel and set value from 1 to 0. Works on my european model.
the update didn't remove this ability
They only moved it to another place away of developer options
So , Just navigate to the Display Option > Advanced >Full bezel
and it lays there

This is only working method to my 8.1 from latest update.
Yes, here 8.1 too. Other methods failed.
Full bezel available in settings/Display/Advanced/Full bezel (set the background colour of status bar in black tick/untick).

Nope, not in European model.
As i have read this article, i have realized, that there are many things about my nokia i didn't know about/ God bless you for that. I use Microsoft Launcher instead of Nova, so i found Activity Launcher in Play Store, that does pretty the same thing as Nova shortcut. God bless you.
Just want to mention that if someone wants to hide the notch but can't find the option in Settings, try this app called Nacho Notch. Works really well. Also has adjustable dimensions for the status bar, navigation bar and the corners of the display

Hi, I noticed the same thing, I don't know why they removed that option. Probably you can set it by adb but I don't know how. But you can use an app called Nacho Notch. You just download, open and trigger it in the quick settings.

Got the APK and it installs and works fine on Huawei.
Thanks for the launcher!
It's smooth, it's light. If there is per icon customization (gesture and icon change) and grid size over 10+ then it will be my goer.
Does thisone work for multi screen phones like the LG G8x ?
Is there a option to remove or customize the search bar under dock?
Please disregard.

Sure take your time.
I also wish the grid setting could be independent of each other: the home page, the dock, and the drawer.
Then the 10+ column on homepage would not mess up the search bar (which is in the dock).

Question From Pixel 4a to Flip 3 - Getting Google Back

Hi guys, and thank you for all of the informative posts in this forum. I recently traded my 4a for a Flip 3, and find myself really missing so many elements of the pure Android 11 experience. Any advice on how to get a little functionality back?
- Multitasking pane behavior: the window switcher button automatically flips to the previous app instead of just bringing up the app tray. Additionally, my beloved Screenshot and Select tray buttons are gone - I just started getting used to using the picture copy functionality.
- Dialer: I installed the Google Phone app and have it set as my default calling app, but incoming calls still don't have the Decline / Screen / Accept red/blue/green buttons.
- Settings shade menu: I'd like the brightness control to appear at the very top of the pulldown. Really, I just want stock Android everywhere.
- App tray: flick up to get to your apps, but then have to flick sideways to page through them? Ridiculous.
Any advice would be appreciated. I hate the idea of bloating my phone with a ton of apps to customize the experience, but it seems like there's no way to run a stock Android launcher in place of OneUI.
You could try Good Lock on Galaxy store.

Only works on Pixel phones: exclusive feature.
Don't want to come across as a jack ass but sounds like you need to switch back to pixel phones. Or like one other person said try good luck from Samsung store.

Give some of the Samsung features a try. You are talking the difference of a single click to return to the previous app and there are only about 10 ways to take a screenshot, ranging from gestures to keys.

There are 1000 custom apps for this stuff, but you only need one of each. Once you find ones you are satisfied with, it's not incredibly hard to hide the stock ones away and forget they exist

If you want a truly stock experience, unlock the bootloader and build a generic version. Samsung hands you all the tools and instructions.
As for advice, I suggest actually trying the phone before trying to make it a Pixel. It isn't. It never will be. If you prefer Pixel, stick with Pixel.
