On my Samsung S8, I had a feature, so when I had auto-rotation locked, if I physically rotated the phone to a landscape position, a little phone icon with a padlock appeared in the button bar on the bottom. Pressing this icon, would manually rotate it to landscape.
I loved that feature, because I think auto-rotating is irritating, and having to manually unlock and lock rotating when I want to manually landscape the phone is irritating.
However, sadly my S8's battery started popping and swelling and become cracks in the backplate.
So had to ditch it and buy a Note 10.
Now to the question: How I do to enable this feature on Note 10?
good lock navstar

On my note 10+ the icon appears when I move the screen. Back and forwards. But it disappears quickly, so I have to rotate once more.
Would me nice if it staid longer in that right corner.
See no settings however.
This is enabled by default

If i rotate the bezel i switch over to weather updates or news or other apps...
I wanted to replace this functionality and control the brightness level by simply rotating the bezel.
I use the "I am Awake" app to always keep my watvh face on.... only thing i want now is a some app which makes the bezel rotation control the brightness. I dont want to go to brightness setting and then use bezel rotation to lower or raise brightness... its too long process and cant do it everytime..
Any such app exists ?
The closest ive come to doing this is by setting double tap of home button to "open last app" option...
So i go to brightness option.. then press home button... then whenever i wanna change brightness... i simply double tap home button and the brightness menu opens and i can rotate bezel to increase or decrease brightness......
But i want to remove this requirement of double tapping home button also...... simply rotate the bezel and brightness goes up or down....
Fyi... auto low brightness option is not so good.... its not so responsive.... it is slow.... sometimes it does not reduce the brightness only...
So thats why i was looking for the manual quick option to inc or dec brightness by just rotating bezel
I know and completely get what you're talking about, it would be nice to be able to modify the bezel actions.
The problem is that the bezel action is programmed into the OS, and Samsung / Tizen doesn't allow a program to override the base actions when you are out of the specific program.
I looked into this before, but with music instead of brightness. Long story short, my car stereo had an AUX input, and instead of looking at my phone to change songs, I usually just take my Gear S2 and put it on the steering wheel.
Now to change songs, I can use the bezel rotation. But, I would have to have the home double press go to the Music Player. If the screen was off for. More than 10 seconds, the bezel would go back to the normal actions.
I looked into it more, and it just seems that you really can't override the default behavior....long story short.

Does anyone have the same issue as me? Every few minutes, the navigation buttons slightly move to a different position on the screen, which makes them off-center with the rest of the screen. This usually happens after locking and unlocking the phone. I have tried to restart the phone into the safe mode but the issue is still present there. I have even contacted Sony support.
My oled TV does this to prevent burn in. Maybe check the display settings to see if it is such a feature?
Not sure, I cant find anything like that in display settings. I have also tried to change the minimum screen dpi in the developer settings and it fixed it right after the change, but as soon as I lock and unlock the phone, the buttons are off-center again.
This is a feature. It moves them over time to avoid burn in.
Ok thanks. But if this is a feature, it's pretty annoying, as it's very visible at times. Why aren't the buttons rather changing their size a bit instead? It would be less noticeable then moving them from side to side.
Nevermind, I have disabled the dock and I can't notice it anymore ?
I just got my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra the other day and there's something pretty frustrating that I'm hoping someone can help me out with. There is a feature that allows you to swipe down on the home screen to pull down the notification panel. This this feature is disabled, or you're on any other screen other than the home-screen, there is only a very very very thin line that represents the notification bar that registers you pressing when wanting to pull the notification bar down. Its even worse when I have my case on. I have to try press and dragging somewhere between 5-7 times before it works.
I guess I'm just wondering if there is a way or setting to expand the area at the top that acknowledges the notification pull-down feature. Currently, so far as I can tell, it measures at about .25cm vertical area that recognizes the drag-down feature. Can we increase to .5 or maybe even .75cm vertical area?
Use Nova Launch, in the settings go to gesture. From there you can do whatever you want.
You can also put another bottonin your Nav bar that pull down the notification on any apps anywhere. In the Good Lock app go to the NavStar. Choose a new configuration or long press on the navbar option of your choice and you can put more button on it. I have 7 and they're all very useful for me.
Hello. So i made the switch to the S10e and i've been running into this issue where if i accidentally hold my phone with my finger just touching the selfie camera (or any part of the status/notification bar at the top of the screen), any and all other touch inputs just get disabled.
Any solutions to this? I assume Android thinks i'm going to pull it down and disables every other touch or something, but is there an option not to do that but still keep the draggable status bar? This also happens in all apps and the home screen/apps etc. no matter the screen.
Activating Show Taps in developer shows that the OS DOES see both my taps, the status bar and anything else, just that the software-side blocks other inputs once that initial status bar touch is seen and still active. It does NOT happen with the back/home/apps bar or generally anywhere else. I have tried making sure Nova launcher isn't doing anything. Tried Accidental touch protection On and Off and a host of other settings. Confirmed this is a status bar issue with hiding it in Samsung Internet and repeating the test.
Tried EdgeTouch with NiceLock but it only really helps for the sides which aren't really my issue.
Rarely this sometimes happens with stuff on screen too in the OS itself and in apps. Usually it's with triggering a function like holding the phone with touching the left hand of the screen and accidentally 'dragging' a menu' into view a few pixels, and then that disables all other input until it's gone. But that's fine since it's very rare. It's more more often than the status/notification bar is my main issue.

Do you use a case? That's what help'd me with accidental screen touches. An "ultra slim" case was all it took for me. Hope you find what works for you.
I am really against cases, as i really want a compact fone, and there are extremely few which get launched with AMOLED nowdays. I'd rather solve this via software.

S22 Ultra has huge screen and I would like to use it in landscape orientation always, is there a way to set it permanently ?
I have already tried 'Turn your phone the orientation you want it to stay in and then lock it with the auto rotate button from the quick panel. You can lock it in either portrait or landscape that way.'
and didn't work for me, here is the video https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...orientation-permanently.4411873/post-86533919
one approach: use bixby routines and set to rotate to landscape for all apps on open

Is this not an option in the pull-down toggles anymore? I'm still waiting for my S22U to come in, but on my S8 you can pull down and get a "Auto-Rotate" toggle. You'd enable that, rotate the screen the way you want it, and then tap it again -- the text would then change to "Portrait" or "Landscape" and the rotation would be locked in.
Turn your phone the orientation you want it to stay in and then lock it with the auto rotate button from the quick panel. You can lock it in either portrait or landscape that way.
@itsXpanD and @AndroidNO0B i have tried this, once i lock the screen in landscape and go back. it returns to portrait.

Search your settings for landscape and the rotate to landscape option near the bottom.

(had to record with other mobile as as screen recording gets stopped when locked.)
managed to make it happen
this is what I was missing.
Huh, that's interesting. Seems to be a more recent addition, there was no long-press menu on OneUI 1.0 yet. Glad it's working now!
