Question Find my phone not working when screen is off - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Find my phone is not working when screen is off. All permissions are on for the wear and Samsung plugin app. My phone is Poco F3. Should it be a Samsung phone to work properly or the screen off causes the app to stop working?

On Xiaomi Mi 11 "find my phone" only works when Galaxy Wearable app is open on Smartphone (and screen is lit).

Thank you for your answer. I have addressed the problem though by giving lock screen permissions to the Samsung galaxy plug-in app. See attached photo. Now everything is working fine. And I'm very happy about it

Wow, I removed all energy saving and gave all permissions to galaxy wearable and watch4 plugin and indeed now it works. Thanks for the tip!

Music player edge lighting.

Has anyone noticed when listening to music using the stock music player, there is a lighting effect that goes around the screen? I find it really annoying and I can't see any way of turning this off. I hope there is a way as I really like the samsung music player.

Hey that sounds pretty cool. How can I get this to work with Spotify?
Edit: Okay all jokes aside I've downloaded it and had a look for a solution. Doesn't appear to be something you can toggle. Possibly a purposeful design decision, or maybe just an oversight? Who knows what was going through their heads but you might just have to put up and shut up, change apps or wait for an update that includes a toggle.
Can I get this to work with play music???

No, it's a built in function on the Samsung player.
You have to turn off edge lighting. Settings display edge display edge lighting.
I love edge lighting when I get a message. But not with the music player.
Hi, I cant seem to make mine work. When I play music within the app, the edge lighting does not happen. Can you help me with this?? Edge lighting is turned on and all possible applications are selected. Please help.

Im using the Samsung Music app. Ive tried restarting the phone, uninstalling and installing the app. Turning the edge lighting toggle on and off.
And unticking keep screen off.
Nothing seems to work.
Plus the edge lighting I get in phone calls is just a solid green light on the edges. It doesnt rotate or move around. This is an s8 plus 64gb by the way. (( please help
I know that with the screen on it doesnt look good but one day my s8 glitched out where the screen turned off but the edge lighting remained on it was looking damn awesome if you guys want i will send a pic

I'd love to see it. I use edge lighting, but purposely refused to d/l the Samsung player because I use Spotify way too much. But I can see where constant edge light during music play can be both annoying and a possible battery drain.

Disable any packages on the phone? All I needed to do was turn on Edge Lighting in the menu and it's fine.
Using this player - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.android.app.music&hl=en
It only works when the app is actually open and playing, minimize and no edge lighting.

plz do
Works only with default music player. Those who are not able to see the effect, you need to turn on the animator duration scale under development options. At .5x edge lightning will run fast. At 1x it'll run at normal speed (pleasing to the eye) and lastly, at 0x setting it'll freeze and just look like stable edge border only.
I know how to turn it off, but you gotta be rooted. If you still wanting that, call me on priv
I like the edge lighting with the music player especially as it changes colour to match album art,just wished it was more reliable for messages ect.

Samsung Galaxy S8+ and 2016 Gear VR issues

Hi All,
I was one of the unfortunate people that lucked out on the newer Gear VR promotion.
I have the last model Gear VR from 2016 .. to most part, it does work with my Samsung Galaxy S8+ .. tight fit .. but for the life of me, I can not seem to get any audio out of my phone when it's connected !
I have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled .. no matter what I do, with the SGS8+ and 2016 Gear VR .. no audio !
Any one ran into this issue ?
I had to go into the settings once inside the VR main page and turn the volume up.

So the Volume buttons on the Gear VR do not function with the SGS8+ ! .. I'll give that a try later (at work right now :silly: )

as you mentioned it's tight.. might be the volume keys are pressed..
try to disable the hardware keys using the Package Disabler pro (premium) and check it..
even the latest Gear VR is a tight fit, sometimes i can see the volume bar showing in the VR display without touching anything the in the GearVR.
What I've found is that regardless of my turning on the volume in one session of using the VR glasses, the next session mutes it again when I use the VR application/glasses. You have to go in and turn it up manually AFTER you have the glasses on and through the VR application using the remote.

Device Trouble- Galaxy S8 Plus

Last night I was watching a movie on Netlix on my Galaxy S8 Plus and suddenly the movie pauses and I can't use my phone whatsoever. The power button to restart the device wasn't even working nor the home button screen. The only thing that I could do was let the battery die and recharge it. It seems to be working just fine now, but don't want this problem in the future.
Has anyone had a similar problem and has a solution? Could it be the Netflix app itself locking my phone? Any responses would be helpful. Thanks.
If you're rooted Netflix no longer works.

Question Gmaps Navigation without screen on on phone.

Hi all,
Recently got the watch 4 and this has been mind boggling me since the day i got it.
Is there any way to have Google Maps update the location on the watch with the screen of on the phone?
Navigation works fine, but as soon as i turn off the screen on the phone to put it my pocket, navigation stops updating on the watch. I guess it also stops updating on the phone as the screen is off.
I have tried several things, give location access at all time for maps on both phone and watch. Also removed any battery restrictions or power saving features for maps. Also checked the sleep lists in device care on the phone, but maps is nowhere to be found there at all and cant be added.
I did write with Samsung support and they did actually confirm that this is not a feature and that phone screen has to be on/phone unlocked for navigation to keep updating..
Is there any workaround for this at all?
Phone is a a52s 5g and it is already going mental sometimes in the pocket even when locked. God knows how many pocket screenshots I have of emergency dial with endless of numbers input.
Thats most likely a samsung/oneui problem rather than android's/watches fault.
Location updates perfectly (tho with a bit of delay) with my redmi note 7
Yes I believe so to, so maybe it was better to post this at the a52 forums. Just thought maybe someone was in the same boat as me here.
Been a happy xiaomi user for years, why did i jump on the galaxy bandwagon now
